[With that in mind, wasn't it easy to understand what Tang Hao had done to Tang San?]
[So, during those first few years, the way the two got along was less like father and son and more like strangers.]
[Uh... no, that wasn't quite right either. At the very least, Tang San had still been very emotional. Since he had been an orphan in his previous life, he had especially yearned for family and fatherly love. Even though Tang Hao treated him this way, he still held Tang Hao in great respect and affection.]
[As for why Tang Hao had clearly noticed something was off, yet took no measures and simply ignored it?]
[It was indeed hard to understand at first, but anyone who had seen the later plot would get it.]
[The year Tang San awakened his Martial Soul at age six, he returned home and first said that his awakened Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass. Tang Hao's face immediately darkened. But when Tang San revealed that he had another Martial Soul, that guy instantly changed his expression. Not only did he step forward and pull Tang San into his arms, he even tearfully called him a good son.]
[Then he said that classic line: "Use the hammer in your left hand to protect the grass in your right, forever!"]
[It sounded moving, didn't it? Blue Silver Grass was Ah Yin's Martial Soul. He had failed to protect Ah Yin back then, so when he said those words, he was not only expressing his guilt toward his beloved, but also his deep longing.]
[That was how I felt the first time I read it, but after understanding the whole story, all I could say was: Heh, it was all bullshit!]
At this point, Su Ye let out a disdainful sneer.
He did not deny that Tang Hao had feelings for Ah Yin, but just how much feeling there truly was remained hard to say.
It was no wonder there had been so many conspiracy theories in his previous life. His wife had been pregnant, her aura had leaked, and yet he still took her wandering around everywhere. That alone was a problem.
Seeing Su Ye start tearing into him, the women who did not know the truth were utterly confused.
What was going on? Was there more gossip here?
Tell us! Tell us!
[Since I've gotten this far, I'll explain the entire story properly. After all, this used to be one of my lingering regrets.]
[Tang Hao's wife was named Ah Yin. She was a Hundred Thousand Year Blue Silver Grass, also known as the Blue Silver Emperor. Unlike ordinary Blue Silver Grass, the Blue Silver Emperor was a supreme specimen among plant-type Martial Souls and possessed extremely powerful healing abilities.]
[Tang San had inherited this Martial Soul. Though it had not fully awakened yet, it was fundamentally different from other Blue Silver Grass. Otherwise, how could it coexist as twins with the Clear Sky Hammer?]
[You should know that the condition for the birth of Twin Martial Souls is that both parents' Martial Souls must be of comparable quality.]
[Speaking of this, I have to add an aside. When Yu Xiaogang fooled Tang San, although his conclusion was correct, the process... could only be described as a complete mess, utter nonsense.]
Bibi Dong: ???
Liu Erlong: ???
The others were all shocked by Ah Yin's identity and had no mind to care about someone like Yu Xiaogang. But the Blind Douluo duo were different.
"Xiao Gang..."
Hearing that name again, Bibi Dong's thoughts surged, and her expression became complicated.
There was longing, excitement, and a faint trace of pain that was hard to detect. Yet all of it soon turned into a sigh.
"Ah..."
Blue Tyrant Academy!
Within the tranquil little courtyard in the back mountain, an incredibly fierce aura suddenly erupted, like a volcano bursting forth.
Liu Erlong's eyes were moist, and an aura unconsciously spilled from her body, causing the flowers and grass in the courtyard to sway wildly.
"Xiao Gang, is that you? Where exactly are you? How much longer are you going to hide from me?"
The name Yu Xiaogang seemed to touch some kind of switch. Liu Erlong instantly lost control of her emotions, and it took her a long while to calm down.
"Diary? Right, the Diary. That Su Ye is a transmigrator. He must know where Xiao Gang is."
Looking at the Diary's update notification, Liu Erlong had no mood whatsoever to care what he had written. There was only one thought in her mind: find Su Ye, then find the Xiao Gang she had longed for.
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy, right..."
Whoosh!
Liu Erlong was the textbook definition of a woman of action. Especially since this concerned Yu Xiaogang, the moment she had the thought, she immediately put it into action.
Unfortunately, she did not know that Su Ye had anticipated something like this happening, which was why he had not returned to the academy.
Otherwise, setting everything else aside, dealing with just one or two of them would have been annoying enough to drive him crazy.
[The story of Ah Yin, Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, and the others cannot be explained in just a sentence or two, so I won't go into it here. I'll only pick out the parts relevant to what we were discussing.]
[Ah Yin was a transformed Soul Beast. Before a transformed Soul Beast entered the mature stage, Soul Douluo-level experts and above could see through her.]
[But once she entered the mature stage, she was, in a sense, a true human and showed no abnormalities whatsoever.]
[Ah Yin had already entered the mature stage at the time. She traveled the continent with Tang Hao for years, and they had always remained safe. Until...]
[She revealed her identity to Tang Hao, and after becoming pregnant, her Soul Beast aura leaked. Only then was she coincidentally discovered by Spirit Hall, which came looking for them.]
[During this process, Ah Yin and Tang Hao fled frantically. And here came the interesting part. Ah Yin was a transformed Soul Beast, yet they did not run to Star Dou Forest or the Blue Silver Clan Lands. They just ran around like headless flies.]
[Then, as if by yet another coincidence, Tang Hao happened to break through to level ninety during the pursuit.]
[Afterward, faced with a dead end, Ah Yin chose to sacrifice herself to Tang Hao. Tang Hao obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring in one stroke and became the youngest Titled Douluo on the continent.]
[Was there any communication involved? Was there some hidden truth? It was well worth thinking about!]
All across the continent, the women who saw this fell silent.
From their godlike perspective, they could see the strangeness of it at a glance.
They had traveled for years without incident, yet the moment she confessed, she was discovered?
Could it really have been that much of a coincidence?
Do not use pregnancy as an excuse.
Even if they did not know the exact details, they knew that if her aura would leak during pregnancy, the most normal and safest course would naturally have been to hide first.
Tang Hao had already been a Soul Douluo at the time, and he had even been the young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. Could he not even manage something so simple?
And Spirit Hall just happened to discover them?
Not to mention that afterward, he had obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring. No matter how they looked at it, it all seemed far too deliberate, far too coincidental.
Thinking of this, the women felt a chill run through their hearts.
No matter what, Ah Yin had married Tang Hao and even borne him a son, yet in the end...
That was too ruthless!
"No! Impossible..."
"How could Hao possibly..."
Inside the cave, Blue Silver Grass marked with golden patterns swayed wildly.
Looking at every word written in the Diary, Ah Yin refused to believe this heartbreaking truth no matter what. Yet she could not refute it.
She had not thought much about it back then, so she had not found anything amiss. But looking at it now, there really had been something strange everywhere.
At this point, Su Ye unusually paused for a while, seemingly giving the women time to process it. Only after several minutes did he continue updating.
[Now that we roughly understand the whole story, tell me: did Tang Hao's words still sound devoted?]
