Tang Ziran pondered it and realized that Lin Ye's target was most likely his son, who had awakened Full Innate Soul Power.

A Soul Master who had awakened Full Innate Soul Power, as long as he developed steadily, would at the very least become a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse, enough to become a minor leader in any faction.

Thinking this, Tang Ziran no longer intended to beat around the bush with Lin Ye. He asked directly,

"Old Lin, tell me honestly. Do you want my Xiao Li to join your Spirit Pagoda?"

"Hahaha, you saw right through me. That's right, I do have that intention. I asked little Tang Li too, and he told me to come talk to you."

Lin Ye told Tang Ziran about Tang Li's reply, but how could he have known that Tang Ziran might not necessarily be able to make decisions for Tang Li?

In Tang Ziran's eyes, his son had been smart and independent since childhood. He himself had no great abilities and could at most provide a little insignificant help. For a choice that concerned his son's future, it was best to let his son decide for himself.

"I see. I don't know much about your Spirit Pagoda either. Tell me what benefits Xiao Li can get by joining it. Let me hear them first, then I can make a decision."

Tang Ziran actually thought the Spirit Pagoda was a good choice as well, but he respected his son. So, he planned to probe Lin Ye first and see whether he could get the man to pull some strings for his son. If the benefits were good enough, Tang Li would probably be interested too.

Hearing this, Lin Ye immediately perked up. What did this mean? There was a chance!

"Don't worry. If little Tang Li joins the Spirit Pagoda, he won't have to follow the usual promotion route. As an insider, I can take him through a special channel. He can first take on the title of my apprentice and enjoy the same benefits I receive. What do you think?"

Tang Ziran did not answer immediately, clearly still weighing the pros and cons. This made Lin Ye anxious, and he hurriedly said,

"Old Tang, people who've just awakened their Martial Souls normally have to start from the bottom when they enter the Spirit Pagoda. Only after their cultivation rises do they get a chance to climb higher. The slots people like me have to recruit directly are limited. I haven't even been willing to give one to my own family, so you'd better think this over carefully."

Tang Ziran knew that Lin Ye was making a major investment. Given his status, Lin Ye could practically rule the roost in Aolai City. The salary and subsidies the Spirit Pagoda paid him every month alone were an astronomical sum, not to mention all kinds of internal organizational benefits. These conditions were indeed incredibly tempting.

"Alright. I'll discuss it with Xiao Li tonight and give you an answer tomorrow."

"Good." Having said everything that needed to be said, Lin Ye ended the call and returned to the Meditation Room. Tang Li had already awakened and was fiddling with his Soul Ring.

"Little Tang Li, let's go. Your dad told me to bring you home."

"Coming!"

After leaving the Spirit Pagoda, Lin Ye drove his Soul Guidance Car and took Tang Li home. Along the way, he did not forget to tell Tang Li about the excellent internal benefits of the Spirit Pagoda, hoping to leave a good impression on him.

Tang Li was indeed somewhat interested in the Spirit Pagoda. After all, in this era, the strongest factions were only the Spirit Pagoda, the Federation, and Shrek Academy.

The Tang Sect and Shrek were deeply intertwined and essentially one faction. Besides, those two were always up to no good. A tall tree catches the wind, and in another decade or so, they would be blown to the heavens anyway. He had no connections in the Federation government either, so the Spirit Pagoda might not be a bad choice.

Wasn't it just researching Soul Spirits? When it came to biology and souls, who could be more authoritative than Tang Li, who possessed the Demon-Sealing Pot?

With that thought, Tang Li said that he was very interested in the Spirit Pagoda and would definitely give Lin Ye an answer tomorrow.

After receiving Tang Li's reply, Lin Ye did not hide anything. He told Tang Li why he wanted to recruit him.

"Little Tang Li, the special channel I'm using to bring you into the Spirit Pagoda is one of the benefits given to internal members. It's meant to allow members to bring in their own relatives. But those two brats in my family are obsessed with Mechas. Their soul power cultivation keeps falling further and further behind, so they have no use for this opportunity.

"There's another reason too. As your recruiter, Uncle Lin will receive some benefits from the organization because of your talent. Of course, I definitely won't shortchange you. As long as you join the Spirit Pagoda, I'll find a way to get you a few chances to enter the Spirit Ascension Platform in the future!"

As he spoke, Lin Ye began introducing the benefits of the Spirit Ascension Platform to Tang Li. Little did he know that Tang Li already understood them. Tang Li nodded from time to time as he listened, giving him plenty of face.

Before long, they arrived at Tang Li's home. Before getting out of the car, Tang Li did not forget to say, "Goodbye, Uncle Lin. I'll go back and have a proper talk with my dad."

"Alright. See you tomorrow, little Tang Li."

Tang Li knocked on the door. Tang Ziran, who answered it, had planned to invite Lin Ye to stay for dinner before leaving, but Lin Ye said that he still had things to finish today and left first.

Tang Ziran did not insist. After closing the door, he found that his son Tang Li had already sat down at the dining table, ready to eat.

Lang Yue brought out the reheated dishes, rubbed Tang Li's head, and said softly, "Wulin and the rest of us have already eaten. Xiao Li, take your time."

"Oh, right. Wulin brought a little girl home too. She's in the room now. After you finish eating, remember to go say hello. She'll be sleeping in the same room as you tonight."

"Alright." Tang Li swallowed the food in his mouth and answered.

"Hmph! That girl even went and played the hero saving the beauty. Luckily, her Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, so she still had some fighting ability even without a Soul Ring. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as a few scrapes. Xiao Li, call your sister out later. I need to have a proper talk with her."

Tang Ziran clearly did not truly mind Tang Wulin bringing someone home. He simply did not want his daughter to get hurt when she was still so young.

"Okay." Tang Li quickly finished his meal. Lang Yue cleaned up afterward and refused Tang Li's offer to help, telling him to go into the room and call out the two little girls.

Inside the room, Na'er lay on Tang Wulin's bed in boredom. Her crystal-clear, amethyst-like eyes stared at Tang Wulin, who sat cross-legged nearby cultivating. Her gaze carried a vague sense of confusion and closeness.

Only when Tang Li pushed open the door did she shift her gaze toward the little boy entering the room.

Unlike Tang Wulin's delicate, porcelain-doll-like features, Tang Li's brows and eyes carried Lang Yue's gentleness, while his face held faint traces of Tang Ziran. At a glance, one could see the traits he had inherited from both parents.

In Tang Li's eyes, Na'er, dressed in his sister's clothes, and Tang Wulin truly made a lovely pair.

Except they were both girls, and both were exquisitely beautiful to the point that they seemed like masterpieces created solely to show off the Creator's skill.

Especially at that moment, a faint golden glow flickered around Tang Wulin, while threads of blue light gathered at her brow. Together with Na'er's luminous silver hair and violet eyes, gold and silver reflected each other in dazzling brilliance.

"You're Na'er, right?"

Tang Li came back to his senses and spoke first. Na'er nodded without saying anything. Tang Li thought she was merely shy and embarrassed, but she simply turned back to stare at Tang Wulin, ignoring him.

The Silver Dragon King sticking close to the Golden Dragon King—nothing wrong with that. Tang Li did not pay much attention to it and instead focused on Tang Wulin.

No wonder she didn't come greet me as soon as she got back. She was grinding away at cultivation!

Wait, he remembered that his sister had still looked like she could not understand the Meditation Method after school. Only a few hours had passed, and she could already cultivate?

Tang Li: Six six six. This girl had activated cheats.

Tang Li sat on his bed and summoned his Martial Soul, the Demon-Sealing Pot. He quietly drew a wisp of aura from Tang Wulin, intending to see what was going on.

But who would have thought that he would draw over three different wisps of aura at once!
