Tang Li in Na'er's Eyes, Deciding to Join

Tang Li sensed the three completely different auras within the Demon-Sealing Pot and understood why Tang Wulin had entered her cultivation state so quickly.

One of them was blue-gold and brimmed with vast life force, along with a trace of an emperor's aura. It should have been the bloodline power of the Blue Silver Emperor.

It was precisely this power that allowed his sister, a weakling with incomplete meridian diagrams who could only barely enter the state of emptiness, to meditate and cultivate successfully.

As the sovereign among plant-type beings, the Blue Silver Emperor possessed a powerful attraction to the wandering soul power between heaven and earth. After Tang Wulin awakened her Martial Soul, this bloodline power had gradually begun to revive, naturally granting her such an ability.

That was a good thing!

The origins of the other two auras were more complicated. The golden one was the Blood Qi Power of the Golden Dragon King sealed within Tang Wulin's body, while the silver one was the Silver Dragon King's spiritual power drifting over from Na'er.

After being refined by the Demon-Sealing Pot, the powers of the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings became nourishment that strengthened Tang Li.

To Tang Li, the feeling of growing stronger through this power was simply too exhilarating! He nearly could not stop himself from letting out a soft moan.

Just then, Tang Li noticed that someone had been staring at him for quite a while. He opened his eyes and found Na'er looking at him.

That made him rather curious. Hadn't she been uninterested in him just now? Why was she staring at him again? Could it be that she had really just been shy?

What he did not know was that, in Na'er's eyes just moments ago, he had been a terrifying humanoid creature wreathed in Chaotic Flame.

The aura containing the utterly opposing powers of creation and destruction was wrapped in the Fire of Chaos, which contained every color. She could barely make out a humanoid shape, but beneath it, there was nothing human at all.

Then something even more terrifying happened. That strange sight vanished completely after appearing for only an instant. No matter how wide Na'er opened her eyes, all she could see was Tang Li as a little boy shrouded in a Golden Cloud of Qi Luck.

One was a chaotic, distorted humanoid creature; the other was a child of destiny draped in an immense Qi Luck condensed into golden clouds.

These two utterly different images completely bewildered Na'er. Her mind was already not very clear, and now it was spinning...

"What's wrong, Na'er? You look like you're not feeling very well." Seeing Na'er lower her head again, her expression also looking off, Tang Li asked with concern.

"N-Nothing."

When Na'er saw Tang Li looking at her, she immediately recalled that chaotic humanoid creature she had just seen. Frightened, she hurriedly tried to back away. But with her muddled mind, she forgot that she was currently on the bed. After squirming around for a while, not only did she fail to retreat, she also woke Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin woke from her meditative state feeling refreshed all over, as if she had been lying in a grassland filled with Blue Silver Grass.

"That felt so good! Huh, Na'er, what's wrong?"

The moment Tang Wulin opened her eyes, she saw Na'er flustered and panicking. When Na'er realized she had woken Tang Wulin, she immediately pounced over and hugged her.

"Waaah, I'm scared!"

Scared? Scared of what? Tang Wulin was completely baffled. Turning her head, she found Tang Li sitting on the bed with an unconcerned look, propping up his chin with one hand as he watched her and Na'er.

"Little Li, you're back? Wait... did you scare Na'er?"

Faced with Tang Wulin's suspicious gaze, Tang Li was speechless. He sighed inwardly. Little kids really are troublesome!

He then told Tang Wulin what Tang Ziran had said, put on his slippers, and walked straight out of the room. Before closing the door, he reminded Tang Wulin to come out by herself.

In the living room, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue, who had been waiting for quite some time and were bored out of their minds, were watching a program on the Soul Guidance Display Screen. Seeing their son come out, Tang Ziran hurriedly asked,

"How was it? Did your sister come over?"

"Wulin was meditating and only just woke up. She's comforting Na'er right now, so let's wait for her a little longer."

Tang Li sat down on the sofa and stretched lazily.

"Then let's talk about your business first. Have you considered Uncle Lin's offer? The conditions he gave are indeed quite good..."

With that, Tang Ziran relayed all the conditions Lin Ye had offered Tang Li and asked for his opinion.

"Son, joining the Spirit Pagoda would actually be pretty good. Mommy wanted to join the Spirit Pagoda when she was young too, but my talent was limited. Besides, with Uncle Lin over there, at least someone could look after you."

Lang Yue also advised Tang Li to join the Spirit Pagoda. After all, the Spirit Pagoda's benefits were famously excellent throughout the Federation. Its reputation as the wealthiest faction was not an exaggeration.

Moreover, because it awakened Martial Souls for the public free of charge, it also had a rather good reputation among ordinary people.

As for the dirty dealings among the upper echelons that Tang Li knew about, those matters were far too distant from him and were not something he needed to consider for now.

"I have no objections. The Spirit Pagoda is indeed a good place for me at the moment."

"Alright, then I'll send Old Lin a message later."

Since Tang Li himself agreed to Lin Ye's recruitment, Tang Ziran naturally had no objections. Just then, Tang Wulin also came out.

However, she had her head lowered and looked hesitant, standing before the bedroom door as though at a complete loss.

Seeing his daughter like this, Tang Ziran sighed helplessly. He did not actually want to scold his adorable, sensible daughter, but he wanted even less for Tang Wulin to be hurt again because of something like this in the future!

So he could only put on a stern face and say seriously, "Wulin, come here. Dad has something to talk to you about."

Tang Wulin lowered her head and shuffled over step by step like a quail, which amused Tang Li greatly.

"We were delayed before dinner because of Little Li, so now we'll deal with your matter. Wulin, do you think what you did was right or wrong?"

"Dad, I didn't do anything wrong! Didn't you say people should be brave and fight against bad people? That's what I did."

Tang Wulin blinked her large, watery eyes, looking innocent and well-behaved, and Tang Ziran's heart softened a little.

But Tang Li spoke up then. "Wulin, I think Dad said that to me, didn't he? The exact words were that a man should be brave. Are you a man? That's twisting the meaning."

Tang Wulin: >_< Her fists clenched!

"You little brat! Adults are talking, so don't interrupt!" Tang Wulin angrily waved her fist at Tang Li.

"Wulin, Little Li is right. You're a girl, so you must pay attention to your safety whenever you're outside. It's not that we don't want you to help others, but you must protect yourself first, understand? Seeing you injured really broke Mommy's heart."

Lang Yue hugged Tang Wulin. Heaven knew how worried she had been when she saw her daughter bring a little girl home and say that she had saved her after fighting some hooligans!

Her daughter was so well-behaved and adorable. Fortunately, she had suffered only a tiny superficial injury. Otherwise, Lang Yue would have been heartbroken to death.

"Mom, I understand. I'll definitely be more careful next time," Tang Wulin promised as she hugged Lang Yue back.

"It's good that you know you were wrong. Now let's discuss the next issue."

Tang Ziran snorted and interrupted the tender moment between mother and daughter.

Tang Wulin asked in surprise, "Ah! There's another issue?"

"Of course. You're a girl, yet you brought someone home when you were only six years old. What will happen when you grow up?"

Fortunately, Tang Wulin had brought home a girl. If she had brought home a boy...

No, he did not even dare imagine it. If that scene ever happened, Tang Ziran felt he would definitely go mad! If the precious cabbage he had painstakingly raised was plucked by some blond punk, he would absolutely kill someone!

It would be fine if his son brought home a little girl, but his daughter absolutely could not!

At the mention of this, Tang Wulin finally remembered the matter of Na'er's family. She hurriedly asked Lang Yue, "Mom, has Na'er found her family?"
