Huo Yuhao nodded and said affirmatively, "Of course I remember."
" Xiaotian suffered the same fate as your mother; both were persecuted by the evil god Tang San and lost their lives."
"What!" Huo Yuhao said through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing that his mother, like Ning Tian, had been persecuted by Tang San, Huo Yuhao hurriedly asked again, "Teacher, is this true?"
"Of course it's true." Qian Chen then repeated what he had just told Ning Tian to Huo Yuhao again. After listening, Huo Yuhao remembered that his mother had been controlled by Tang San's Consciousness Control and had suffered and been tortured to death in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion.
And considering the recent annihilation of the Ning Tian family and the assassination attempt on Ning Tian, Tang San intends for him to be controlled by Tang San in both familial and romantic relationships in the future.
Why did Wang Dong'er disguise herself as a girl and enter the boys' dormitory? Why did Wang Dong'er indulge him for no reason? Why did the two develop Martial Soul Fusion Skill so soon after spending time together? It turns out that Tang San wanted to control himself.
Because Tang San had developed feelings for Ning Tian, Ning Tian's family and Ning Tian himself suffered a blow.
Connecting all the dots, Huo Yuhao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, shouting, " Tang San, Tang San, you evil god, you've gone too far! To control me, you first killed my mother, then sent people to wipe out Xiaotian's entire family, and even tried to assassinate Xiaotian! I will never forgive you!"
At this moment, Qian Chen comforted him, " Yuhao, don't worry. Since Xiaotian's soul is intact and his body hasn't decayed at all, your teacher has a way to revive Xiaotian."
Upon hearing Qian Chen's words, Huo Yuhao remembered that when Qian Chen arrived at the scene of Ning Tian's assassination at the Sea God Lake, he did not pursue the assassin but immediately Ice Seal Ning Tian Ning Tian's body to prevent any changes in his physical condition.
Reflecting on Qian Chen's foresight, Huo Yuhao could only sigh that he was far less composed than his teacher, and said, "Thank you, teacher."
Qian Chen said again, " Yuhao, even if I manage to revive Xiaotian this time, Xiaotian can't stay at the Shrek Academy any longer. Until you have the strength to protect her, Xiaotian will be in great danger."
Huo Yun'er hurriedly asked, "Teacher Qian Chen, can't you leave Xiaotian in the Sea of Consciousness forever? I can stay with her."
Qian Chen said, " Madam Huo, you can't. The soul can only recover within my Sea of Consciousness, not cultivate. Otherwise, Yuhao will already be a powerful figure in the world, while Xiaotian will still be a mere Soul Elder. Moreover, Xiaotian's body is Ice Seal. In the future, Huo Yuhao will be an adult, while Xiaotian will still be a little girl not yet thirteen."
Huo Yun'er, Huo Yuhao, and Ning Tian all nodded in agreement. Huo Yuhao suddenly asked with a glimmer of hope, "Teacher, if you have a way to revive Xiaotian, can you also revive my mother?"
Qian Chen shook his head and said, "I cannot resurrect Madam Huo. Madam Huo has been dead for too long, and her body has already decayed. Moreover, Madam Huo's identity is even more sensitive; you are constantly being monitored by the Evil God Tang San. Once he discovers your mother, he will know that he captured a substitute back then. He will kill your mother again and take her soul. Furthermore, he will thoroughly investigate who lied to him. In the end, you, me, your mother, and Xiaotian will all be exposed and eliminated by Tang San."
Huo Yuhao lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I underestimated things."
Qian Chen comforted him, "It's alright, just focus on your cultivation. After you become a god, you can personally resurrect your mother in the Divine Realm. And until then, you can see your mother often through me."
Hearing Qian Chen's words of advice, Huo Yuhao felt as if a fog had been lifted from his heart, and said, "Thank you, teacher."
Just then, Ning Tian asked, " Yuhao, what will happen between you and Wang Dong'er from now on?"
"Me and Wang Dong'er?" Upon hearing Ning Tian's question, Huo Yuhao was stunned. Instinctively, Huo Yuhao defended Wang Dong'er, saying, "I believe Dong'er was unaware of the situation. She must have been controlled by Tang San's Consciousness Control, just like her mother. She is innocent."
Seeing this, Huo Yun'er's face darkened, and she said sternly, " Yuhao, don't you know why Wang Dong'er is getting close to you? Your mother died at Tang San's hands, and Xiaotian almost left you completely. If you still have a soft heart towards Wang Dong'er, how can you face me and Xiaotian?"
Huo Yuhao blushed deeply after his mother's words and said painfully, "Mom, Xiaotian, I promise I won't be bewitched by Wang Dong'er. I will never associate with Wang Dong again."
Hearing this, Huo Yun'er's expression softened somewhat. Qian Chen knew that without the dispelling of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er couldn't be severed completely.
" Yuhao, you don't need to be so extreme. Wang Dong'er is indeed controlled by Tang San, and Tang San is watching you from the Divine Realm at all times. What would he do if he felt that you were hostile to him, or if Wang Dong'er simply couldn't attract you?"
Huo Yuhao said, "He'll be afraid that everything he did to me will be discovered after I become a god, and then he'll seek revenge. He'll eliminate me beforehand."
" Yuhao, you're very smart. So you don't need to distance yourself from Wang Dong'er. Just treat her like your junior sister. Make Tang San think he can completely control you with your mother's soul and Wang Dong'er."
Huo Yuhao said, "Yes, teacher, I understand."
Huo Yuhao had already vowed in his heart that he would definitely save Wang Dong'er and tear Tang San to pieces.
Having said everything that needed to be said, Qian Chen prepared to leave with Huo Yun'er and Ning Tian. Just then, Huo Yun'er suddenly spoke up, "Teacher Qian Chen, there's something I want to say to the two children."
Qian Chen nodded and did not stop him.
Huo Yun'er walked between Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian, took Ning Tian's hand in one hand and Huo Yuhao's hand in the other, and said, " Yuhao, Xiaotian, I know it's too unfair for Xiaotian to say these things now."
She looked at Ning Tian, her eyes filled with heartache. " Xiaotian has just suffered a great calamity and should be resting. But I'm really worried about Yuhao, who will be facing Wang Dong'er so often in the future. I hope you two can get engaged. That way, no matter what happens to Yuhao outside, he will remember that he has a fiancée waiting for him."
Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then whispered, "Mom, won't this be too hasty and cause Xiaotian hardship?"
Ning Tian looked at Huo Yuhao, his eyes slightly red, and whispered, " Yuhao, I do."
Huo Yuhao looked up and met Ning Tian's gaze. Her eyes were filled with tears, but there was no hesitation in them.
" Xiaotian." Huo Yuhao's throat tightened.
" Yuhao, I don't feel wronged. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is gone, I have nothing left. But you are still here, and you still want me. This marriage contract is not a constraint for me, but a reason to live." Ning Tian said each word clearly.
Huo Yuhao couldn't bring himself to refuse. He gripped Ning Tian's hand tightly and nodded vigorously.
With Huo Yun'er as their witness, the two solemnly made their marriage vows. There were no guests, no fanfare, only a promise between them.
Huo Yuhao looked at Ning Tian and said, " Tian'er, I'm sorry. In the future, I will definitely give you a proper wedding."
Ning Tian shook his head and said, " Yuhao, it's alright. Just remember, when you're with Wang Dong'er in the future, don't get too attached to her, and don't forget about Tian'er."
Qian Chen and Huo Yun'er watched quietly from the side, without urging them. Huo Yuhao and Ning Tian chatted for a long time before Qian Chen brought Ning Tian and Huo Yun'er to his ordinary Sea of Consciousness, letting them be alone together.
When Qian Chen returned to reality, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Qiu'er had just returned. The three of them happened to run into Qian Chen and Huo Yuhao coming out of the room.
