Tang San's Painstaking Scheme! Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong Break Apart as Everyone Leaves the Tang Sect!

The scene on the Sky Screen continued.

Yet the entire continent had already fallen into deathly silence.

On the screen,

Xiao Wu raised her head, a trace of confusion flashing through her lively eyes.

"Third Brother, have you figured out how to arrange everything?"

Tang San chuckled softly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. His tone was calm, yet brooked no doubt.

"Of course. To become my son-in-law, he must possess both spirit and character!"

"I will secretly influence the fate of the Douluo Continent and deliberately have him suffer bullying at the Duke Mansion, tempering his character, hatred, and will to survive!"

"Since I have chosen him, I must prevent this child from growing crooked in a greenhouse."

Upon hearing this,

Xiao Wu nodded in agreement.

However, a trace of worry crossed her face as she asked, "Third Brother, if that child learns of this someday, will he hate us for it?"

"Hate us?"

Tang San raised an eyebrow.

His words carried the scrutiny of one in power.

"Being able to become the son-in-law of Tang San, Sea God and God Realm Enforcer, is a blessing he has cultivated over several lifetimes."

"Besides, only you and I know of this matter. How could we possibly let him find out?"

As he spoke,

Tang San waved his hand.

The Heavenly Mirror floating before him began to change.

Reflected within it was a young Huo Yuhao, curled up inside a woodshed.

The Sky Screen enlarged the scene before Tang San.

All Living Beings saw Huo Yuhao squatting in a corner, hugging his knees.

His mother, Huo Yun'er, lay on a thin wooden bed, her face pale and utterly devoid of life.

His mother had passed away.

His eyes were filled with stubbornness and unwillingness. Even though his lips had frozen purple, he did not make a sound.

Tang San revealed a rather satisfied smile at the sight.

Xiao Wu glanced at Huo Yun'er lying on the bed.

"Third Brother, should we save that child's mother? After all, she is Wutong's future mother-in-law..."

"There is no need."

Tang San shook his head indifferently, his expression calm.

"Her soul will remain in the lower realm for now. Once the time is right, I will bring her to the God Realm and restore her body."

"If we want Huo Yuhao to sincerely acknowledge his ancestry and return to the family, we will likely need his mother to step forward."

Xiao Wu came to a realization and continued, "Third Brother is right. If this child is unwilling to change his surname in the end, Dai Mubai will likely be upset as well."

Tang San snorted. "If he were not descended from Dai Mubai's line, how would he have had the chance to become my son-in-law?"

Boom—!!!

The moment Tang San finished speaking, the entire continent erupted!

"Is Tang San even human?!"

"Exactly! You didn't even ask whether Huo Yuhao wanted to become your son-in-law before doing all this?"

"And that poor Huo Yun'er was a living person! Yet in your eyes, she became nothing but a tool to make Huo Yuhao acknowledge his ancestry and return to the family???"

"Tang San has no shame! He wouldn't even spare Yuhao's biological mother just to temper him?"

"..."

In the lounge by Sea God Lake,

At this moment,

More than half of Dai Yueheng's accumulated worry and concern vanished. He believed Huo Yuhao could tell who his true enemy was.

Nearly everyone's eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong.

Before this, they had all thought

that what Huo Yuhao had suffered was merely the usual suppression and exclusion by the first wife of a noble household.

Who could have imagined that the Sea God had been behind it all!

It turned out that the White Tiger Duke Mansion's madam and young master were merely pawns Tang San had pushed into the open.

Tang Wutong had long since finished absorbing the Sky Screen's reward and awakened.

When she saw her father's arrangements on the Sky Screen, her face grew increasingly pale, her eyes filled with horror.

To employ such vicious methods and schemes,

was this truly the great and kind father from her memories?

Immediately after,

she saw the gazes of Ma Xiaotao, Dai Yueheng, Ling Luochen, and the others.

The disgust and scrutiny in those eyes seemed ready to pierce straight through her.

A feeling of unbearable shame surged from the depths of her heart.

"It isn't like that."

She hurried to Huo Yuhao's side, grabbed his arm, and said in a trembling voice,

"Yuhao, please believe me!"

"My father is absolutely not that kind of person! There must be some unavoidable reason for him to say such things..."

Before Tang Wutong could finish,

an ancient beastly aura accompanied by icy Soul Power erupted violently from Huo Yuhao's body!

It sent her flying.

Tang Wutong's delicate body slammed heavily into the wall, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

The killing intent of the four-hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Empress Scorpion was enough to take Tang Wutong's life in an instant.

But he did not unleash Wrath of the Ice Emperor.

Because Huo Yuhao understood

that even Tang Wutong herself was part of Tang San's scheme. She knew nothing about the entire matter.

"Enough!"

Huo Yuhao roared.

His eyes were filled with hatred and resolve as he looked at Tang Wutong.

"I don't care whether you're Wang Dong or some damn goddess. From this day onward, all ties between us are severed!"

"And your father is the true culprit behind my family's suffering!"

"Please tell him that I will settle this debt with him sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this,

Tang Wutong went blank and collapsed onto the ground, tears silently running down her cheeks.

A despair she had never known before rose within her heart.

After saying that,

Huo Yuhao turned to Xiao Xiao, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan. He clasped his fists and bowed.

"Senior Brothers, Senior Sister, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I must break my word."

"From today onward, I, Huo Yuhao, formally announce my withdrawal from the Tang Sect. I swear to the heavens that I will never again use any Tang Sect secret manuals or hidden weapons. Should I break this oath, may heaven and earth destroy me, and may I never be reborn!"

"Since the Tang Sect's ancestor caused my mother's tragic death, I cannot remain a disciple of the Tang Sect no matter what. I hope you will not blame me..."

Before he had entered Shrek Academy, Bei Bei had told Huo Yuhao many stories about the Tang Sect's founding master.

At the time, he had felt nothing but reverence and joy toward Tang San. He had become the Tang Sect's first disciple and even vowed to revive the Tang Sect.

Now that the truth had come to light,

Huo Yuhao had become the first disciple to leave the Tang Sect.

The four exchanged glances before nodding together.

Xu Sanshi stepped forward and patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder.

"We all know what the Tang Sect's ancestor was like. Such a sect truly deserves to be buried in the river of history."

"We will leave the Tang Sect as well. As for Bei Bei, I will personally explain everything to him."

Once Xu Sanshi finished speaking,

Jiang Nannan, Xiao Xiao, and He Caitou all nodded, their eyes filled with resolve.

As they discussed it,

the images on the golden scroll began to speed up.

All Living Beings saw Tang Wutong disguise herself as a man and enter Shrek Academy.

Then, by chance, she and Huo Yuhao were assigned to the same dormitory. They saw the fusion of their martial souls and all the experiences they went through at the academy.

At that moment,

the Sky Screen's voice rang out again.

[In order to obtain the Power of Destiny from the Emperor Auspicious Beast as quickly as possible, Tang San would accelerate the encounter between the Auspicious Beast and Huo Yuhao. He would make the Three-Eyed Golden Lion curious about the human world, transform into Huo Yuhao's favorite appearance, and appear at his side!]

[To prevent the feelings between Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion from surpassing those she shared with his daughter, Tang San fabricated a lie, claiming that his daughter had a congenital illness and would not live past twenty!]

[In his desperate search for a "cure," Huo Yuhao chose to brave danger alone. In the end, he was severely injured and paralyzed, and the bond of life and emotion between them became deeply intertwined!]

All Living Beings: "???"
