Changing the subject, Bibi Dong finally got to the point:
"However, Ye'er, while I won't take Tang Hao's soul bone myself."
"You and I will both need to stand on our own in the future. Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect will surely become our greatest enemies!"
"They say that knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in every battle. I'm only a Soul Saint. If I provoke Tang Hao while working for Spirit Hall, I could be in danger."
"Can you see where Tang Hao's Fortune is heading?"
"Tell me about Tang Hao's background and movements, so I can avoid him."
Bibi Dong simply took advantage of her son's concern for her, trying to coax the soul bone's location out of him.
However, Song Ye was no idiot. The moment he heard that, he quickly questioned her.
"No, Mom, do you take me for an idiot?"
"Isn't it obvious you're trying to find out where the soul bone is? I can't tell you. What if something really happens to you?"
Bibi Dong was stunned. Heh, her son was far too smart.
This wouldn't do. Even as his mother, she could no longer fool him?
Bibi Dong could only continue assuring him. "Ye'er, I've already sworn a Martial Soul Oath. Could I still deceive you?"
"You're a Soul Master too. Don't you know how serious a Martial Soul Oath is?"
"Don't worry. I definitely won't take that soul bone. I'm not an idiot either. Of course I know I can't beat Tang Hao!"
"You really won't go?" Song Ye frowned.
"I really won't! Whoever goes is a grandson!" Bibi Dong had never expected that one day, she would be arguing with a child like this. She was helpless too.
Seeing the determination in Bibi Dong's eyes, Song Ye thought it over and ultimately chose to trust her.
After all, gods and faith truly existed on Douluo Continent, and Martial Soul Oaths often involved fate. Everyone took them very seriously.
Besides, he had promised that if anything happened to his mother, he would not be able to go on living either.
He thought that for his sake, his mother should ensure her own safety and not do anything foolish.
Moreover, Bibi Dong had a point. They would deal with Tang Hao sooner or later, so giving his mother some information beforehand was a good thing.
Song Ye nodded, then still sighed.
"Anyway, Mom, I don't need any soul bone. Leveling up just means cultivating a little longer. You don't need to take risks."
"As for Tang Hao, we really need to be extremely careful around him. He has already left the Clear Sky Sect and is like a bomb that could go off at the slightest touch."
"And Tang Hao's movements have to start with the Yu Xiaogang and his disciple we met two days ago..."
"You don't know this, but Yu Xiaogang's disciple Tang San is actually Tang Hao's son!"
Song Ye paused slightly there, and Bibi Dong was indeed shocked.
On one hand, she wanted to know the soul bone's location. On the other, she wanted information on Tang Hao, preferably enough to eliminate him.
Yet her son had opened with a bombshell.
So that scrawny child they had encountered outside Soul Hunting Forest was Tang Hao's son?
Bibi Dong recalled that Tang Hao had joined with that Blue Silver Emperor Soul Beast. Could Tang San be some half-human, half-Soul Beast bastard?
Bibi Dong was even more horrified and immediately reacted.
"Wait, I remember Tang Hao's wife was a Soul Beast."
"Back then, Tang Hao fought an earth-shattering battle against the former Pope, Qian Xunji. That Soul Beast sacrificed herself to Tang Hao, allowing him to break through Level 90 and obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"
"After that, Tang Hao concealed his whereabouts, and the entire Spirit Hall couldn't find him!"
"I've heard of this matter. After all, I hold some position in Spirit Hall..."
"Yu Xiaogang's disciple from two days ago seemed to have Blue Silver Grass as his Martial Soul!"
"The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that joined with Tang Hao back then was the Blue Silver Emperor in human form!"
"So, Ye'er, could the soul bone you mentioned be the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?!"
"You said two days ago that the little beast had a Title Douluo behind him. Was that Tang Hao?!"
The more Bibi Dong pieced it together, the more shaken she became.
Heavens, she had been so close to Tang Hao back then?
If she had known, she should have sent Song Ye away first, then continued chasing after that little beast Tang San!
That would have led her to Tang Hao!
If she could eliminate Tang Hao, the benefits would be unimaginable!
Hiss—
Without realizing it, Bibi Dong drew in a sharp breath as she recalled everything, her entire body tensing.
She had simply missed a golden opportunity!
Seeing this, Song Ye nodded in reply. "That's right. The Title Douluo behind that child is Tang Hao."
"That soul bone is also the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone."
"Because Tang Hao's soul bone slots are already full and he can't absorb it, he has kept it in a cave. Perhaps he plans to leave it for his son someday."
"Back then, Tang Hao joined with a Soul Beast and was discovered by Spirit Hall, even leading to that battle. To keep Qian Xunji from obtaining her Soul Ring and soul bone, that Soul Beast sacrificed herself to Tang Hao."
"In truth, although Tang Hao defeated Qian Xunji, he exhausted his potential and suffered severe injuries, making it difficult for him to display his true strength."
"He took his son Tang San and his wife's seed to a place called Holy Soul Village, where he has lived a muddled, degenerate life in seclusion."
"Tang Hao is a real bastard. He caused such a disaster for the Clear Sky Sect, yet he never took responsibility, hiding in the village drinking every day."
"Of course, he is still a Title Douluo. Even if he has now left the village to train Tang San, who can say he won't happen to return to the village?"
"That is precisely why I absolutely won't let you take that soul bone, Mom!"
"You're only a Soul Saint. No matter how severe Tang Hao's injuries are, killing you in an instant would be effortless."
"If you're gone, how could I keep living in this world?"
As Song Ye spoke, he patted Bibi Dong's delicate little hand, looking like an old man advising a younger generation.
If Bibi Dong had not sworn a Martial Soul Oath, Song Ye would never have told her any of this.
But Bibi Dong took in every detail, and she had already settled on a course of action.
So that's it. Holy Soul Village... If Tang Hao isn't carrying the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone on him, then it can only be there.
A cave near Holy Soul Village. When the time comes, I can search for it and perhaps find it.
Sure, I swore a Martial Soul Oath that I wouldn't take it and make Ye'er worry, but I never said I couldn't send someone else to take it, did I?
When the time comes, I'll bring a subordinate to Holy Soul Village. I'll just take a stroll myself, while my subordinate conveniently obtains the soul bone and brings it back to me. That won't violate the oath, right?
Once I get that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, I'll have Ye'er absorb it!
Hehe! Ye'er will rise steadily and grow even faster!
As Bibi Dong thought this, a smile naturally appeared on her lips.
Anyway, she had sworn that she herself would not take it. She could still have a subordinate take it.
Besides, if Tang Hao truly returned to Holy Soul Village, perhaps she could strike while he was weak and kill him on the spot!
That would be killing two birds with one stone.
Seeing the corners of Bibi Dong's mouth unconsciously curve upward, Song Ye frowned slightly and asked in confusion.
"Mom, what are you doing? Why are you smiling like that?"
"Oh, nothing. Mom just thought of something happy~" Bibi Dong replied with an awkward smile.
