"My name is Liu Lin."

Huo Yuhao repeated these two words in his heart, then nodded earnestly.

"I've remembered it. Thank you for saving me today; I will repay your kindness in the future."

"Mm, then you must cultivate diligently so that you'll be able to repay my kindness later."

Watching Huo Yuhao's determined expression, Liu Lin said with a smile.

"I will definitely cultivate diligently. But I have one more question: how should I find you?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Liu Lin took a sound-transmission soul tool from his storage soul tool and handed it to Huo Yuhao.

"Whether you have something to discuss or wish to repay my kindness in the future, you can reach me through this."

Huo Yuhao looked down at the small, silver-white object in his palm and nodded vigorously.

"Mm, thank you. I need to head back now, so I won't keep you any longer."

Liu Lin nodded, then turned and left, walking toward the banquet hall.

White Tiger Duke Mansion, banquet hall.

After Liu Lin entered through the side door, his eyes began to scan the entire hall. Once he had looked around, he finally spotted Xu Jiujiu in the corner.

At this moment, Xu Jiujiu was still sitting in her corner seat, looking around idly.

Only when Xu Jiujiu saw Liu Lin return did she stand up.

"Why were you gone for so long? I thought you had run into some trouble."

"I encountered a small matter on the way and handled it." Liu Lin walked up to her and, lowering his voice, briefly recounted what had just happened.

Xu Jiujiu frowned slightly after listening and sighed. "Forget it, as long as it's resolved. The banquet is about to end anyway; let's bid farewell to the White Tiger Duchess and return to the palace."

After saying this, she pulled Liu Lin along to say goodbye to the White Tiger Duchess.

Once they had finished bidding farewell to the White Tiger Duchess, the two left the banquet hall and walked back to their carriage.

After they boarded the carriage, the coachman drove them toward the imperial palace.

About half an hour later, Liu Lin and Xu Jiujiu returned to the imperial palace, and the two prepared to report back to Xu Jiawei.

Liu Lin gave a brief report on the situation at the banquet, mentioning in passing that he had seen Dai Huabin leading people to beat an illegitimate son in the side courtyard.

Xu Jiawei did not immediately respond after hearing this, only telling the two to get some rest early.

After they left, Xu Jiawei leaned back in his chair. After a long while, he spoke to Eunuch Liu at his side:

"Draft an edict for tomorrow. Remind Dai Hao to keep his family members in check, and tell the White Tiger Duchess to be mindful of the influence."

Hearing Xu Jiawei's words, Eunuch Liu bowed in acknowledgment.

On the other side, Liu Lin returned to his own courtyard, pushed open the door, and took the pieces of Whale Glue that Xu Jiawei had given him out of his storage soul tool.

He first released his first martial soul to soften the Whale Glue, then cut it into small pieces and placed them in his mouth.

An indescribable taste filled Liu Lin's mouth, followed immediately by a scorching current that surged from his stomach to his limbs and bones.

Liu Lin closed his eyes and focused, releasing his martial soul to guide the energy of the Whale Glue as it circulated through his meridians in an orderly fashion.

He did not know how much time had passed before that scorching heat finally subsided slowly. Liu Lin opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and looked down at his palms.

He could clearly feel that his body was more solid than before, and the soul power flowing through his meridians was smoother than it had been previously.

God Realm.

Tang San stood with his hands behind his back above the sea of clouds, his brows tightly locked.

He had just sensed that the trajectory he used to save the people of the Tang Sect had been disrupted by someone.

Although the deviation was not large, it was certainly no longer on the path he had set.

What made it even more unacceptable to Tang San was that he had used all his divine power to trace it, yet he had discovered nothing.

No matter how he investigated, he could not find the person who had stirred the tides of fate.

The Three-Eyed Golden Ni had broken free from his control, and the Child of Fate was deviating from his path; with these two events combined, a long-forgotten sense of irritation rose in his heart.

"No matter who you are, if you affect my revival of the Tang Sect, you are already on a path to death."

Tang San took a deep breath to calm his mood. He then turned and walked toward his home.

When he arrived home and reached his daughter's room, he saw Tang Wutong sitting by the window, resting her chin in her hands as she stared blankly at the sea of clouds outside. Her long, powder-blue hair hung behind her, casting a faint, shimmering light under the illumination of the divine radiance.

Hearing footsteps, Tang Wutong turned her head and saw it was her father.

"Papa."

"Wutong." Tang San sat down opposite her, his gaze falling on his daughter's face, which was seven parts similar to her mother's. He was silent for a moment. "Didn't you want to go to the lower realm to play? Papa can let you go down now."

"Really? Papa." Tang Wutong's eyes filled with excitement upon hearing Tang San's words.

"Hmm, then do you want to go, Wutong?"

"Of course, Papa. I've wanted to go for a long time."

Tang San looked into his daughter's clear, powder-blue eyes, a complex surge of emotions rising in his heart.

He shouldn't have let his daughter get involved in this matter, but he didn't want the Tang Sect he had built with his own hands to disappear.

This was his obsession across two lifetimes. Since he hadn't received the recognition of the Tang Sect in his previous life, he wanted to make it flourish here; therefore, he had no choice but to let his daughter suffer a little.

Tang San's originally complex gaze gradually turned resolute. He said to Tang Wutong, "Very well, Wutong. Papa will send you to the lower realm for training and have your two uncles from the Haotian Sect protect you well."

"Mm, I understand, Papa. When can I set off?"

"I will inform your two uncles first, and after you bid farewell to your mother, I will send you to the lower realm." Tang San looked at his daughter's excited expression, his eyes filled with guilt.

"Mm, then I'll go say goodbye to Mama first. Papa, I'll come find you in a little while." With that, Tang Wutong skipped out of the room to find her mother.

After watching Tang Wutong leave, Tang San used his divine sense to arrange for Tang Wutong's descent to the lower realm and to investigate why the trajectory of that new star in the Douluo Continent had deviated.

Not long after Tang San had used his divine power to wrap this strand of divine sense and send it toward the Douluo Continent, a man wearing a purple cloak appeared abruptly before him.

"Tang San, what are you doing? I was just patrolling the border when I discovered your divine sense descending to the lower realm. As a God Realm enforcer, you seem to have very little respect for the rules established by the God Realm."

The purple-robed man's cold voice came from beneath his cloak, accusing Tang San of his crimes.

"Destruction, I have no intention of violating the God Realm's regulations. It is merely that my daughter, Wutong, wishes to go to the lower realm for training, and I am finding a guardian for her."

Hearing the purple-robed man's words, Tang San smiled and answered his question.

Upon hearing the name Tang Wutong, the God of Destruction let out a cold snort, then turned and left.

"Tang San, as a God Realm enforcer, you should uphold the law impartially. I will let it slide this time. If you do this again, I will never forgive you."

Tang San watched the back of the God of Destruction as he left, his face darkening, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Once my scheme succeeds, Destruction, you can just wait to be relieved of your post."
