Abandoned by Tang Hao? Ah Yin's Heart Shattered!

Ah Yin was bewildered, but she still followed Ye Hua.

As Ah Yin emerged from the cave, the blinding sunlight made her squint instinctively.

She hadn't seen a real blue sky in far too long.

A mountain breeze caressed my face, the grass and trees were lush, and sparrows flew overhead, chirping as they landed on the branches.

Ah Yin took a deep breath, as if she wanted to absorb all the vitality of everything into her body!

"Let's go." Ye Hua walked ahead, his pace neither fast nor slow.

Ah Yin followed quietly behind him, her long dress fluttering in the breeze.

She was stunned when she saw the plaque for "[Holy Soul Village]".

"This is where Tang Hao Tang San lived after you died."

Upon hearing Ye Hua's words, Ah Yin's heart skipped a beat.

Their clothing naturally alerted the village's intelligence station!

The elderly men and women looked at each other in bewilderment.

These two people look unfamiliar; they're not from their village!

Old Jack, who was dozing in the sun, was suddenly startled awake and hurried to greet him.

"Distinguished guests!" Old Jack bowed. "I am the village chief of Holy Soul Village, and you two are Lord Soul Master?"

Ye Hua nodded, offering no further explanation, "We are old friends of Tang Hao and wish to meet him."

"That drunkard actually has friends?" Old Jack blurted out, then realized his slip and quickly coughed twice.

"Ahem, I mean, Tang Hao has been away from the village for more than three years, and we don't know where he went. We haven't heard from him since."

As he spoke, he stepped aside to lead the way, guiding the two of them into the village.

"His blacksmith shop is abandoned; the locks are all rusted, and Tang San never comes back."

Ah Yin felt a pang of sadness when she saw the dilapidated blacksmith shop.

What a miserable life Brother Hao and his Xiao San are living!

"What do you think?" Ah Yin asked nervously, "How is Brother Hao?"

"Hey, what a nice guy he is!"

"He was very responsible in raising Tang San, kind-hearted, drank in moderation, was polite and amiable, and even helped us make farm tools for free!"

"The year his Xiao San started school, he gritted his teeth, killed a chicken, treated the kid to a good meal, personally took the kid to the Soul Master Academy, and... and..."

Ah Yin was initially delighted, but seeing Old Jack's embarrassment, she realized he was making it up.

Old Jack also complained, as the visitor was an important guest and an old friend of Tang Hao, so it was not appropriate to criticize him to his face.

Otherwise, if these two get into trouble, wouldn't Holy Soul Village be wiped out?

Unexpectedly, Ye Hua smiled and nodded, "Old sir, just tell the truth."

"I know Brother Hao's character; he's definitely not the pushover you describe!"

Old Jack, as if granted a pardon, let out a long sigh, and then couldn't stop talking.

"Sigh! It's not that I'm being nosy, but Tang Hao really has a bad temper!"

He gets completely drunk every few days, cursing and smashing things in the house!

"The Xiao San is only a few years old, yet she has to start a fire and cook for herself; she's not even as tall as the stove!"

Ah Yin's breathing became rapid, and her eyes blazed with fury.

Asshole!

Is this how you raise a child?

Her fists were clenched tightly.

But she tried to comfort herself.

Tang Hao became despondent because of her death!

He was suffering inside!

I can't get out of this!

It's absolutely not that I don't love children!

But what Old Jack said next almost made her faint.

"Also, when the Xiao San wanted to go to school, she insisted on having two spots!"

"Tang Hao is something else; seeing another orphan, he forced that person to give up their spot!"

Ah Yin couldn't believe it. "Give it up? Wouldn't that be inconvenient for others?"

"That's right!" Old Jack shook his head, "But he really did it!"

"I was out of my mind back then, and I actually did what they wanted!"

"The person whose spot he stole later became the leader of the Long Night Alliance, renowned throughout the continent, and even Holy Soul Village and Notting City became his territory!!"

"It's only because he doesn't hold it against me, otherwise I would have been finished long ago!"

Ah Yin remained silent.

This can't be real!

Brother Hao isn't that kind of person!

He is chivalrous and passionate; although he doesn't fight for justice, his values are sound!

He would never do something as despicable as ruining someone's future for his own benefit!

"Still thinking about it?" Ye Hua's voice echoed in her mind. "People always change."

Ah Yin's lips moved, and she closed her eyes in pain.

She felt something shattering inside her chest.

For the first time, the beautiful impression of Tang Hao as indestructible began to crack.

But she still clung to a last hope. "Has Tang Hao been to the back mountain?"

Old Jack scratched his head and shook his head firmly.

"The back mountain? No, I've never been there."

"That place is very barren, what would he be doing there?"

Ah Yin stopped talking.

She stood there, as if her soul had been ripped from her body.

The back mountain, that's where she grew up.

If Tang Hao truly cared about her, even if he only visited her occasionally, she wouldn't feel that her sacrifice was so insignificant!

So contemptible, that Tang Hao discarded it like worn-out shoes!

Let her fend for herself in the cave!

"Cough cough! Ugh!"

Ah Yin gasped for breath and fell into Ye Hua's arms.

Her snow-white breasts pressed against Ye Hua's chest, seemingly about to burst forth.

Ye Hua can easily admire the mountain peaks simply by looking down.

"Waaah!" Ah Yin closed her eyes, tears overflowing from between her eyelashes.

What else could she say?

Why would an old man lie to her when they'd just met?

Tang Hao actually never went to see her!

[bite--]

[Ah Yin's Rescue Progress +20%]

[Current Rescue Progress: 25% (Uncertain)]

[Detected that Ah Yin has begun to perceive Tang Hao Tang Hao hypocritical, and is greatly shaken in her faith in him. Host, please continue your efforts.]

Old Jack sensed the awkward atmosphere and awkwardly shut up.

After a long while, Ah Yin finally managed to open her swollen eyes from crying.

"Qilin, I would like to leave here first."

Ye Hua readily agreed and took her back to the Crystal Palace, arranging rooms for her.

"Actually, Tang San will be back soon, in half a month at most."

Ah Yin's eyes lit up with hope, "How did you know?"

"Simple," Ye Hua shrugged. "I met him at the Moonlight Pavilion, and he told me himself."

Arguing is too tedious; Ye Hua should use some linguistic artistry.

"Has the Xiao San been corrupted by her father?" Ah Yin asked anxiously.

"I won't tell you that," Ye Hua turned his head away, "You'll figure it out yourself."

Hearing Ye Hua's words, Ah Yin felt uneasy.

Hopefully, Tang San hasn't been led astray.

But she believes, whether it's good or bad!

Tang San has become a handsome man loved by everyone and admired by all!

He must be strong and tall now, full of masculine charm, just like Tang Hao back then!

Full of masculinity, confident and cheerful, and in good health!

"Phew," Ah Yin took a deep breath, "Thank you for telling me this."

"Qilin, may I be so bold as to request an audience with him?"

"It's alright," Ye Hua readily agreed, "Just don't reveal your identity."

"Ah Yin will remember this!"

Dusk, half a month later.

As dusk approached, a dusty figure appeared on the official road.

Tang San wore the gorgeous clothes from the Moonlight Pavilion, but even the most magnificent clothes get dirty after traveling.

"We've finally arrived."

Upon seeing the outline of Holy Soul Village, Tang San relaxed.

[Tang Yin] has a really good identity.

No wanted notices, no disdain.

There's no such thing as an annoying Ye Hua!

Alas!!!

The breath of freedom!

"However, we cannot let our guard down."

"Old Deng's estate has not been found yet."

Filled with anticipation, Tang San released his Blue Silver aura.

In an instant, the Blue Silver Grass on the ground responded to him.

But Tang San's expression was strange.

"Strange, there's no place where my bloodline resonates with mine!"

Little did he know that fifty meters behind him, someone was forcing him to suppress his Soul Power and silently watching him.
