Trust Leng Hanyuan Over Tang San

"Oh?"

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Leng Hanyuan let out a soft sound of surprise.

He calmly suppressed the strange look that flashed through the depths of his eyes.

"What is it?"

He asked in a soft voice.

Tang Wulin did not hide anything, recounting every detail of the changes that had occurred within him to Leng Hanyuan.

"Last night, when I was preparing to meditate, I suddenly discovered that a massive golden dragon had appeared inside my body."

Tang Wulin recalled what had happened during his meditation yesterday.

His still-youthful voice carried a sense of confusion and fear of the unknown.

"Oh?"

Leng Hanyuan raised an eyebrow.

He could roughly guess what the giant dragon Tang Wulin spoke of inside his body was.

Without a doubt.

It could only be the Golden Dragon King sealed within Tang Wulin's body.

However, according to the original plot, this change in Tang Wulin should have happened later; it seemed that his own appearance had altered the original trajectory of many events.

Gu Yue had clearly also thought of the identity of the mysterious dragon Tang Wulin mentioned, and her delicate brows furrowed.

"Anything else?" Leng Hanyuan did not show too much abnormality and continued to ask.

"Yes, there was also a person who appeared."

Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth.

"He said he was a sliver of divine consciousness that had come specifically to guide me."

"He told me the identity of the giant dragon in my body; it seemed to be called the Golden Dragon King."

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Yue's eyes.

The Golden Dragon King.

It was exactly as she had expected.

What Leng Hanyuan cared about, however, was not the Golden Dragon King, but the sliver of divine consciousness Tang Wulin mentioned.

The owner of that divine consciousness was, without a doubt, the Tang God King who had already drifted away following the upheaval of the God Realm.

"What did he say to you?"

Tang Wulin did not hold back, answering honestly:

"He told me the identity of the giant dragon in my body."

"He said that a powerful being had placed eighteen seals on it and sealed it within my body."

"Now, I have already reached the threshold required to break the first seal."

Tang Wulin hesitated for a moment, then lifted his small face to look at Leng Hanyuan.

"Teacher Leng, who is the powerful being he spoke of?"

"Why would they seal such a dangerous thing inside my body?"

"And why is that divine consciousness inside me?"

Tang Wulin's heart was filled with doubt and confusion.

He did not understand why so many strange things were appearing in his life.

Wasn't he just someone of ordinary status?

His mom and dad were very ordinary people, too!

In the original story, Tang Wulin would have kept these matters buried deep in his heart, and even with a thousand questions, he would have had to suppress them and digest them alone.

But Leng Hanyuan had pointed out his abnormalities with a single sentence earlier.

This had greatly earned Tang Wulin's trust.

Naturally, this made Leng Hanyuan the object of reliance for the still-young and immature Tang Wulin.

Therefore, after what happened last night, Tang Wulin had taken the initiative to find Leng Hanyuan today to tell him everything that had occurred.

"I am not sure."

"Perhaps there are ulterior motives, or perhaps it is something else."

Leng Hanyuan could not possibly tell Tang Wulin everything he knew.

He kept his words vague, which was more reasonable.

"However, do not worry; misfortune may be a blessing in disguise."

"Whether these abnormalities are a curse or a blessing for you is hard to say."

"Instead of worrying needlessly, it is better to take it seriously and minimize the harm as much as possible."

"Wulin, hold out your hand."

Tang Wulin did not know Leng Hanyuan's intentions.

However, given the level of trust he currently had in Leng Hanyuan, he obediently extended his hand without the slightest hesitation.

Leng Hanyuan placed his palm on Tang Wulin's arm.

A surge of soul power flowed from his palm, sinking into Tang Wulin's meridians.

A few breaths later, he released his grip.

"Wulin, it seems your current situation is not very optimistic."

"The power sealed within your body seems to have begun to waver in some parts."

"If it cannot be handled properly, I fear the outcome will be worrying..."

Leng Hanyuan sighed softly.

However, what he had just done was not as simple as just checking the condition of Tang Wulin's body.

More importantly, he had taken this opportunity to probe for specific information regarding the divine consciousness that Tang God King had left inside Tang Wulin's body.

As a top-tier powerhouse who had one foot stepped into the God Realm.

Leng Hanyuan could sense much more than ordinary people.

He had truly and tangibly felt the existence of a strange divine consciousness within Tang Wulin's body.

It was just that, perhaps to maintain the divine consciousness, Tang God King must have placed some kind of trigger restriction upon it.

Only when specific conditions were met would that divine consciousness reawaken.

Beyond that, it would remain in a dormant state within Tang Wulin's body.

To Leng Hanyuan, this was actually a good thing.

After all, this way, he could take advantage of the fact that Tang God King's divine consciousness was asleep to lay down more measures, giving this God King a big surprise in the future!

Tang Wulin did not know the calculations in Leng Hanyuan's heart.

Upon hearing Leng Hanyuan's words, his small face turned slightly pale.

The mysterious figure in his mind yesterday had told him the same thing.

It was not much different from Teacher Leng's assessment.

Originally, Tang Wulin had been skeptical of the mysterious figure's words.

But with Leng Hanyuan saying it now, he finally believed it.

After all, compared to this mysterious figure of unknown identity.

Tang Wulin still trusted the all-powerful Teacher Leng more.

If he followed what the mysterious person had said, he only had half a year left.

Within half a year, if he could not find those three things to unlock the first seal, then what awaited him would likely be death!

Half a year was not long.

One could even say it was just the blink of an eye.

This imminent threat of death caused Tang Wulin's emotions to fluctuate, and fear began to sprout.

He was not resigned to this!

He still wanted to go back to see his mom and dad, and wanted to stay by their side forever!

This kind of death threat was still too difficult for a child to accept.

And...

He had no clue about the things the mysterious person had mentioned.

They were simply not things he could find in his current state!

Suddenly.

Tang Wulin remembered something.

His eyes lit up.

There was still Teacher Leng!

Teacher Leng was a Grand Elder of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda!

A big shot that even Teacher Wu could not hope to reach!

Teacher Leng must have a way to find those things!

It was just that...

Tang Wulin hesitated again.

Although Teacher Leng was a very good person, to put it bluntly, the relationship between them was just that of an ordinary teacher and student.

It was far from comparable to the genuine teacher-student relationship that Gu Yue shared.

Everything the mysterious figure spoke of was a treasure of extraordinary value.

Even if Teacher Leng were capable of finding them, what obligation did she have to seek them out for him?

And what could he possibly offer in exchange of equal value?

The words of entreaty hovered on Tang Wulin's lips, yet he found them impossible to utter.
