Everyone else heard this and still thought Xiao Wu had come around.
Ning Rongrong continued rubbing Xiao Wu's back and said casually, "All right, then I'll take you back to rest."
"Besides, you can see the Light Screen anywhere, answer questions no matter where you are, and even use it to contact people directly."
Xiao Wu nodded, her heart dead, pretending she didn't care.
By now, she had realized what was going on.
Each question on the Light Screen came with another secret being exposed.
If she stayed there any longer, her identity would be revealed too.
Given the situation, she couldn't accept it. Xiao Wu had already begun thinking about fleeing back to the Star Dou Forest.
Seeing how Xiao Wu was doing, Tang San grew worried and hurriedly spoke up:
"Xiao Wu, don't listen to them. I would never kill a Soft Bone Rabbit!"
"Don't worry!"
"Thank you, Xiao San..." Xiao Wu no longer wanted to argue about this.
Actions spoke louder than words. The Light Screen wouldn't lie.
You don't want to kill one now, but what about in the future?
Xiao Wu followed Ning Rongrong back to their lodgings. She would find some excuse to leave the area immediately.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang and the others had no idea what was going on and started complaining:
"What's with Xiao Wu? She actually started crying?"
"It's not like anyone's going to kill her. Why is she so upset?"
"Forget it, who cares? Little girls make a fuss over everything!"
Pope Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at the answer and the information on the Light Screen, astonished:
"Soft Bone Rabbit..."
"Back then, I was the one who killed a Soft Bone Rabbit. I never expected that little rabbit to become one of Tang San's Spirit Rings in the future."
"The Sixth Spirit Ring might not even belong to Blue Silver Grass. It could be the Sixth Spirit Ring of his Second Martial Soul! That would make sense."
"Excellent! Tang San, it seems I have even less reason to let you off easily!"
"Otherwise, you'll become my greatest enemy in the future!"
As she spoke, Bibi Dong abruptly looked toward Tang San and Yu Xiaogang in the distance.
At that moment, the killing intent in her eyes was unmistakable.
Nearby.
Tang Hao stared intently at the Light Screen, deep in thought:
"So it seems Xiao San really did kill that rabbit. It actually became his Sixth Spirit Ring."
"That means Xiao San's cultivation went fairly smoothly in the future..."
"If that's the case, his future fighting strength won't be bad. I'm still not sure whether I should acknowledge him as my son."
"If I do, what if the Light Screen proves he really isn't my child?"
"If I don't, what if he is my child, and just happened to steal some cultivation techniques?"
"Forget it. I'll keep watching. No matter what, I need his strength to avenge myself!"
Only then did Tang Hao come out of his thoughts.
The next second, he looked toward Tang San and the others in the distance, only to realize Xiao Wu was gone.
"Hm?"
"Where did that little girl go?"
"Did she run off because she was scared?"
Tang Hao vanished on the spot and began searching the area.
Inside a special space.
Ah Rou saw the answer and the information, and couldn't imagine that a person named Tang San would have a hundred-thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit as his Sixth Spirit Ring!
Didn't that practically spell out that Tang San would kill Xiao Wu?
There was no other hundred-thousand-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit besides Xiao Wu!
At the thought, Ah Rou was horrified. She was about to speak:
"No, Tang San is far too dangerous. Xiao Wu will fall into his hands in the future!"
"I have to warn Xiao Wu to stay away from him!"
"But I can't say it outright. Someone might guess Xiao Wu's identity."
After thinking for a few seconds, she hurriedly sent a message through the Light Screen:
[Ah Rou]: "Xiao Wu, our family has been connected to the Soft Bone Rabbit for generations! Tang San kills Soft Bone Rabbits, so you must stay away from him!"
[Ah Rou]: "This is your mother's request. You have to listen!"
Everyone immediately saw the message in the comment section beside the Light Screen.
In an instant, the seven Shrek members understood. No wonder Xiao Wu had reacted so strongly. Her family was connected to the Soft Bone Rabbit!
Tang San's expression darkened when he saw it. He thought:
Ah Rou. She must be Xiao Wu's mother!
If Xiao Wu's mother said that, does it mean Xiao Wu is going to leave me?
I can't let Xiao Wu go!
He hurriedly replied through the Light Screen:
[Tang San]: "Auntie, I'm Tang San! Xiao Wu and I are close friends. Don't worry, I would never hurt a single Soft Bone Rabbit!"
His reply appeared, and everyone saw it, growing even more surprised.
Were those two actually chatting through the Light Screen?
The others also discovered that when they posted on the Light Screen, they could bring up a small screen of their own to communicate and take part in answering questions.
As soon as Tang San finished, Ah Rou immediately retorted:
[Ah Rou]: "Bullshit! Tang San, Xiao Wu is young and might be fooled by you, but I won't be! Xiao Wu, if you see this message, you must return to our family! Stay away from Tang San!"
[Ah Rou]: "Do you understand what your mother means? Get home now! That's an order from your mother!"
On the road nearby...
Xiao Wu was leaving the Spirit Hall arena as fast as she could.
Ning Rongrong followed her, looking helpless. "Xiao Wu, why are you running so fast?"
"You even used your Martial Soul. You look like you're fleeing for your life."
"Rongrong, I have my reasons," Xiao Wu replied.
Just then, she saw the message her mother had sent her.
She felt even more upset, and all the hurt she had been holding inside finally burst out:
"Mom!"
"You haven't been revived, yet you're still so worried about me..."
"Xiao Wu understands. Xiao Wu knows she has to hurry home!"
She didn't dare reply, afraid she would draw attention to herself.
Ning Rongrong saw the exchange on the Light Screen too and was baffled. "Xiao Wu, did your mother misunderstand something? Why is she so set on making you leave Third Brother?"
"Does your family know the Soft Bone Rabbit?"
Xiao Wu didn't answer. Instead, she frantically poured all her Soul Power into speeding up.
She knew Tang San might come looking for her.
Xiao Wu had no choice. She finally stopped, looked at Ning Rongrong, and said with a heavy heart:
"I'm sorry, Rongrong. I can't tell you more."
"Anyway, I'm leaving. If fate brings us together again, we'll meet again..."
"Huh? Why are you suddenly leaving?" Ning Rongrong was completely bewildered.
But before she could ask anything else, Xiao Wu activated her Soul Skill:
"Goodbye, Rongrong..."
"Teleportation!"
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
She didn't hesitate for a moment. Even though it cost her a great deal of Soul Power, she had to get away as quickly as possible.
A moment later, Tang Hao caught up.
He stood still, sensing the surrounding auras, but because of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, he couldn't detect Xiao Wu's presence.
Xiao Wu had vanished right under his nose!
Tang Hao flew into a rage:
"Damn little brat! She reacted so quickly!"
"And that flower Xiao San gave her—even I can't pick up her scent!"
Fierce and furious, he had no choice but to keep searching aimlessly, relying on guesswork...
