They left the imperial palace and returned to the Tang family residence.
Dugu Bo and Ye Qingmei were already waiting in the main hall.
Dugu Bo smiled. "Sect Master, you're finally back."
"Well? Shall we set off for the Sunset Forest now?"
Ever since the poison in his granddaughter's body had been completely cleared, Dugu Bo had become much more cheerful.
Even his formerly stern features had softened considerably, and he smiled more often.
The feelings people carried in their hearts really did affect every aspect of their behavior.
Seeing Dugu Bo like this,
Tang San Niang couldn't help remembering how her father used to be: always unshaven, taciturn, drinking all day long, and quick to anger.
But the last time she had seen him, he had seemed like an entirely different person.
Perhaps it was because her mother was alive again. He had become filled with vitality and hope, and smiled more often too.
Love truly was a great power.
All these changes were because of Brother. He was the one who changed Dad, the one who made Grandpa Dugu smile, and the one who let Xiao Wu and me experience true love.
Tang San Niang looked at her brother's profile and unconsciously tightened her grip, hugging his arm a little more firmly.
Brother really is the best person in the whole world. Little San Niang will stay by his side for the rest of her life. We'll never be separated.
Tang San Niang silently swore this to herself.
Dugu Bo continued speaking.
"As it happens, I've already made all the arrangements for Yanyan's fourth Soul Ring."
"On this trip to the Sunset Forest, she can hunt for it and absorb it, breaking through to the Soul Ancestor realm."
Tang Yin smiled.
"Excellent. Go ahead and set off, then."
