The Great Filial Piety of Tang Shenwang

Whether Tang Hao's feelings for Ah Yin were genuine is no longer verifiable.

But what Li Ping'an knows is that Tang Hao placed Ah Yin's seed in a dark, damp, secret chamber within a cave.

Any normal person knows that plants require sunlight and rain to grow, yet this is how Tang Hao treated the seed left behind by Ah Yin.

If not for the fact that Ah Yin was the Blue Silver Emperor, any ordinary Blue Silver Grass would have long since perished in that chamber.

Even if he did not know that Ah Yin was still alive, he should not have treated her remains in such a manner.

Ah Yin being alive would benefit the Blue Silver King in ascending to the throne, so the Blue Silver King would certainly not stand idly by.

If he could have returned Ah Yin's seed to the Blue Silver Forest, with the help of the Blue Silver King, Ah Yin might have been resurrected long ago.

Perhaps I'm not just making this up after all! Li Ping'an thought.

If I ever get the chance, I must send Tang Hao a system and tell him the truth about Tang San's soul transmigration!

If Tang San and his father were to turn on each other, Li Ping'an would definitely be the first in line to watch the drama.

However, Tang Hao is too dangerous right now; Li Ping'an dares not send him a system.

Who knows if Tang Hao might suddenly go mad and hammer him to death?

I wonder if Tang San has finished his novice quest yet? Li Ping'an pondered.

The reward for Tang San's first quest was something Li Ping'an had customized himself.

He can interfere with the sub-system's quests and customize rewards; the system AI automatically matches the corresponding tasks or rewards.

This time, Li Ping'an customized the rewards to be spirit power and a meditation method, so the novice quest was automatically matched by the system based on the sub-system's theme.

With the hope of cultivation, Li Ping'an temporarily lost the mood to continue weaving straw sandals.

He opened the system interface, pulled up the Spirit Encyclopedia, and began to study.

For knowledge-based rewards like this, Li Ping'an can copy them directly without having to split off fifty percent.

However, on Tang San's end, the reward was indeed downgraded.

Without realizing it, Li Ping'an became immersed in his studies.

The various spirits and spirit beasts contained within were like the extracurricular picture books he read as a child in his past life—he never grew tired of them.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ping'an was suddenly startled by a notification popping up on the system interface.

Is that Tang San? Did he complete the quest?

[Congratulations to the host, sub-system user Tang San has completed the novice quest. Reward: Martial Soul Meditation Method (Spirit Academy version), 1 level of spirit power.]

Seeing this, Li Ping'an did not hesitate to deduct the spirit power for himself and then copied the Martial Soul Meditation Method.

Sorry, Tang San, I need spirit power right now, so I'll have to make you suffer a little!

He claimed the system reward and immediately felt a surge of power flowing through his body, eventually converging where his martial soul resided.

Unfortunately, his martial soul had not yet awakened, so he could not utilize this level of spirit power unless he also possessed the Mysterious Heaven Skill.

However, with this level of spirit power, he would be able to cultivate once he awakened his martial soul in a couple of days.

Tang San is still reliable; he actually dared to add ingredients to a Titled Douluo's breakfast!

Since that's the case, let's issue him the next quest!

Li Ping'an opened the system interface and accessed Tang San's sub-system.

I'm about to awaken my martial soul, and now that I have spirit power, I can go to Notting Academy to study.

So, I need money and spirit power now!

Whether it's for school or to subsidize the family, money is essential.

He has a system now; he can't let his parents in this life continue to scratch a living out of the fields, can he?

He had done farm work in his past life and knew how grueling it was to toil in the fields.

Moreover, his parents' martial soul was also Blue Silver Grass, not a hoe or a sickle—nothing that would help with farm work.

System, match a quest for Tang San to obtain spirit power and Gold Soul Coin!

[Querying the quest database!]

[Based on the current status of sub-system host Tang San, the maximum matchable Gold Soul Coin reward is 100 Gold Soul Coin, and the spirit power reward is 1 level.]

[Should the system AI match a quest for the sub-system host?]

Li Ping'an was already accustomed to the system's limitations.

The system couldn't possibly make Tang San, a child with only ten levels of spirit power, take on a high-difficulty quest, could it?

Yes, match it! Li Ping'an thought silently.

By the small river, Tang San was washing clothes for Tang Hao.

Ugh! How disgusting!

Tang San caught a whiff of the smell on the clothes and felt a wave of nausea; he was about to throw up the breakfast he had just eaten.

He had been living a life of frugality, so naturally, he couldn't bear to spit out the food and could only force himself to suppress the urge to vomit.

Tang San had not expected that this boomerang would actually come back to hit him.

He had dosed Tang Hao with a laxative, but he never imagined that Tang Hao would actually fall for it and even soil his own pants.

If that weren't enough, he had even tossed the clothes to him to wash.

Is my poison really strong enough to affect a Titled Douluo? Tang San felt a bit doubtful.

Tang San circulated his Mysterious Jade Hand to wash the foul-smelling clothes.

This Mysterious Jade Hand was a supreme technique of the Tang Sect; it could isolate many types of poisons, so naturally, it could also isolate the filth on Tang Hao's clothes.

However, he still felt a sense of existential doubt. Did Tang Hao truly have no sense of shame?

If a normal person soiled their pants, shouldn't they secretly wash the clothes themselves?

Yet that Tang Hao had actually thrown the clothes to his son to wash?

No, could it be that he has already discovered that I was the one who did it, and he wants to take revenge on me like this?

But the laxative he used could also be considered a detoxifying agent; it was a medicine used by some Taoist practitioners in his past life during periods of fasting, so it didn't count as poison at all.

If taken properly, it was even beneficial to the body, helping to detoxify and improve one's complexion; it was a secret Taoist method for fasting.

Just then, he noticed the system sending another notification sound.

He revered the system as a divine artifact, so he immediately opened it to inspect it.

"A new task? The reward is actually 50 Gold Soul Coin and 0.5 levels of internal energy?"

"That's 50 Gold Soul Coin! Tang Hao hasn't earned that much money in six years of blacksmithing!"

Although Tang San ignored worldly affairs and focused solely on cultivation, he knew the value of a Gold Soul Coin.

"And 0.5 levels of internal energy, that's worth two months of my hard training!" Tang San calculated silently.

"Let me see the task details first!"

Seeing such generous rewards, Tang San couldn't wait to start the new task.

[Tang Hao does not understand the use of poison; your revenge against Tang Hao has not aroused suspicion!]

[You are still far from being Tang Hao's match, so endure, young man! But you can choose other ways to take revenge on him!]

[Novice Task 2: Continue to poison Tang Hao three more times!]

Tang San frowned. Would this task be too dangerous?

He had always been cautious. If he continued to poison Tang Hao, what would happen if he were exposed?

He didn't know exactly how strong a Titled Douluo was, but he knew that he was definitely no match for one right now.

Glancing at the rewards, Tang San felt that it wasn't so difficult after all.

That was 50 Gold Soul Coin, which he could use to forge Tang Sect hidden weapons and strengthen his own power.

Mother, I will definitely avenge you! Tang San thought to himself.

In his view, treating Tang Hao this way was not unfilial; on the contrary, it was true filial piety, because he was doing this to avenge his mother.

Moreover, this was an instruction given by the divine artifact 'System', which was equivalent to the will of 'Heaven'.

Heaven, Earth, Sovereign, Kin, and Teacher—in the education he received in his past life, 'Heaven' was ranked before 'Kin'!
