Family Reunion

Tang Hao's Adam's apple bobbed violently.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found himself at a loss for words.

Ah Yin...

His wife, whom he personally placed in the cave, the one he would secretly visit every month but never dared to linger, the one who would forever be a source of pain and longing in his heart...

Now, the Xiao San has found him.

His son found it.

He felt a mix of emotions: surprise, panic, and an indescribable unease.

He never imagined that the Xiao San would find Ah Yin on her own.

The reason he kept Ah Yin in that secluded cave all these years was to prevent her from being discovered.

Ah Yin was in such a fragile state at the time that any accident could have caused her to disappear completely.

He had assumed the cave was secluded and safe enough.

He originally thought that he would take his mistress to meet his mother when she was Xiao San and had enough power.

But to his utter surprise, the Xiao San found someone on her own.

And he was with the Fu brothers.

Tang Hao's gaze fell on Fu Shiyan, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Fu Shiyan met his gaze, her expression calm, offering no further explanation.

Tang Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and looked at Tang San to continue asking:

"Xiao San, how... how did you find that place?"

Tang San looked at him and slowly began to speak:

"When the Blue Silver Emperor awakened a few days ago, I sensed a blood-related aura in the direction of Holy Soul Village."

"Later, I told my master about it, and he took me back home."

He paused, then continued:

"After returning to the village, we first went to see Grandpa Jack and had a meal at his house."

"By the way... I paid off your debt for drinks."

When he said the last sentence, Tang San's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's face showed a hint of unease.

The money for the drinks... those were old debts he incurred in the village years ago, I didn't expect his Xiao San to still remember them.

Tang San continued:

"After that, my master and I went to the back mountain and followed our senses. We found my mother in a very secluded cave."

His voice lowered, carrying a hint of undisguised complexity:

"Mother... though at that time she was only in the form of a Blue Silver Grass."

"But I could feel her presence, though very faint, it was definitely my mother."

Tang Hao listened quietly, his eyes flickering with uncertain light.

Of course he knew what form Ah Yin took.

He placed it there himself.

But when I heard my son describe it to me, a dull pain still welled up in my heart.

Before Tang Hao could even think, Tang San continued:

"After that, we took Mother away from the cave."

Upon hearing this, Tang Hao's heart skipped a beat!

He almost instinctively opened his mouth, as if to say something—

Spirit Bone!

The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone left behind when Ah Yin sacrificed herself!

Is that piece of Spirit Bone still there?!

The thought flashed through his mind like lightning, but he swallowed it back before he could say it.

His lips moved, but he ultimately said nothing.

Inappropriate.

Asking this question at this time is highly inappropriate.

Fu Shiyan stood to the side, taking in Tang Hao's subtle reaction out of the corner of her eye.

He could guess what Tang Hao wanted to ask.

Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

That was something left behind after Ah Yin's sacrifice, a treasure coveted by countless Soul Master.

When he took Tang San to pick up Ah Yin, he naturally discovered that Spirit Bone.

But he didn't move.

Firstly, he already possessed a complete set of six Spirit Bone, plus External Soul Bone, so he didn't need this particular Spirit Bone.

Secondly, even if he got his hands on it, he would hand it over to Tang San.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to leave the Spirit Bone where it is and let Ah Yin deal with it herself after she recovers.

After all, it was originally hers!

Tang San didn't notice his father's momentary lapse in attention, and continued speaking:

"After that, we took Mother to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and planted her there."

"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" Tang Hao was taken aback.

"It was a treasure trove belonging to my master, and it's now managed by Grandpa Dugu."

Tang San explained, "That place gathers both hot and cold energies from heaven and earth, which greatly promotes plant growth."

"Master said that only there can Mother slowly recover."

After hearing Tang San's explanation, Tang Hao looked at Fu Shiyan, his eyes filled with gratitude, and said:

"Brother Fu, I can't thank Tang Hao enough. I will remember this kindness."

Fu Shiyan shook her head and replied calmly:

"Brother Tang, there's no need to be so polite. Xiao San is my apprentice, and his mother is naturally someone I should help."

He paused, looked at Tang Hao, and continued:

"By the way, Brother Tang."

"I was planning to take my Xiao San to see her mother again today. Since you're here, why don't we go together?"

Upon hearing this, a mixture of surprise and trepidation flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.

Should we go see Ah Yin?

Of course he wanted to go.

He thinks about it all the time.

He took a deep breath and nodded emphatically:

"Good."

Her voice was hoarse, yet it carried an undisguised anticipation.

Tang San stood aside, watching his father's complicated expression, countless thoughts surging in his mind.

He wanted to ask his father what exactly happened back then.

I want to ask my father why he left my mother alone in that dark, sunless cave.

But he swallowed the words back.

Now is not the time.

Let's talk about it after Mother recovers.

Xiao Wu stood not far away, watching Tang San and his son, then glancing at Fu Shiyan, and quietly tugged at Ma Hongjun's sleeve.

Ma Hongjun understood and said softly:

"Third Brother, you guys go ahead, we won't go."

Oscar nodded as well:

"Yes, since your family is having a reunion, we won't join in the fun."

Mo Xuan stood to the side without saying a word, only nodding slightly to Tang San.

Fu Shiyan looked at Fu Zhi, Fu Zhi understood and stepped forward:

"Don't worry, Young Master, I will take good care of these children."

Fu Shiyan nodded and looked at Tang San and Tang Hao:

Let's go.

As soon as he finished speaking, his soul Soul Power surged, carrying Tang San into the air.

Tang Hao took a deep breath, moved swiftly, and followed closely behind.

The three figures quickly disappeared into the horizon.

In the small courtyard, Xiao Wu looked up in the direction they had left and muttered softly:

"Third Brother... his mother will get better, right?"

Ma Hongjun scratched his head:

"Of course it will. Teacher Fu is here."

Three figures sped across the sky above the Sunset Forest.

Tang Hao followed behind Fu Shiyan, his gaze occasionally falling on Tang San in front of him.

He looked at his son's long, deep blue hair and his face, which bore a striking resemblance to Ah Yin's, and a torrent of emotions surged within him.

The Xiao San has grown up.

It was far better than he had imagined.

And all of this is thanks to Brother Fu.

He didn't know what to say.

A thousand words were stuck in my throat.

But he knew that when he saw Ah Yin, he would have to have a good talk with her.

How outstanding their son is now.

They will wait together for her to recover.

Waiting for her to stand up again, to stand in the sunlight, to stand before them, father and son.

The family of three is truly reunited.

Ahead, Fu Shiyan slowed down slightly.

He glanced back at Tang Hao, then at Tang San, and said:

"We're almost there."

Tang San nodded, his gaze fixed on the mountain range ahead.

He was going to see his mother again.

And this time, his father was there too.

They're finally going to be together as a family.
