"In this world, only by becoming stronger yourself can you have the capital to provoke others and act recklessly... protect the people you care about, do you understand?"
As she said this, although Tang Sui couldn't see Tang Hao's expression, she could discern something unusual from his slightly bitter and heavy tone.
Her gaze flickered, and her breathing returned to calm. "Mhm," she replied.
Tang Hao looked at his sensible youngest daughter with relief. He finally ruffled her soft black hair and said gently, "Let's go. I'll take you back to the academy first. Your teachers must be frantic knowing you and your brother suddenly disappeared. As for your brother... you can explain to them."
Tang Sui nodded, then remembered the medicinal herbs in her purple crystal jade bracelet. She tugged on his sleeve, "Oh, right, Dad. Since you're here, can you... pick me up from the academy after tomorrow?"
"Hm?" Tang Hao looked at Tang Sui in confusion.
Tang Sui organized her thoughts and told Tang Hao that her spirit rings were actually self-separated. She told him that she planned to break through to level forty Spirit Elder next and wanted Tang Hao to find a place to guard her while she did.
This was because she knew that for the next six months, her brother would be with Dugu Bo, and at the academy, Grandmaster would begin the next phase of special training, making it difficult for her to go out on her own.
Tang Hao's pupils constricted. Instantly, he thought of his wife, Ah Yin.
After being together with his wife, she had honestly told him about the cultivation methods of their kind.
After soul beasts transformed, their cultivation speed was faster than ordinary spirit masters, and their spirit power was deeper. They didn't even need to hunt when they advanced; they could self-separate spirit rings and gain suitable spirit skills.
His youngest daughter's situation was precisely the cultivation method of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast after transformation!
"Sui Sui, who else knows that your spirit rings are self-separated? Do your teachers know?" Tang Hao suddenly reached out and grabbed Tang Sui's shoulders, his face grim, a trace of killing intent already rising in his heart.
Although Ah Yin's true form was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, both Sui Sui and Xiao San were born in human form and did not inherit Ah Yin's Blue Silver Emperor true form.
He had originally thought that Xiao San and Sui Sui had only inherited some of Ah Yin's soul beast bloodline, and their cultivation and growth methods had been no different from humans over the years. Even if his younger daughter had a minor flaw like split personality, she was still developing in a human direction. Who would have thought that his youngest daughter had always been like a hundred-thousand-year soul beast transformed into human form, self-separating spirit rings to advance at every spirit power breakthrough?
Sui Sui was now in her thirties, with three spirit rings, meaning all three of these spirit rings were separated by herself when she went out each time!
What if someone with malicious intent discovered this...
The tragic pursuit that followed after his wife's soul beast identity was discovered by the Spirit Hall people seemed to be yesterday. Tang Hao's heart turned cold, filled with lingering fear. Guilt and bitterness intertwined on his face.
As a father, he had truly failed...
"Dad, you don't need to worry. Besides you, I haven't told anyone. 'She' is always very careful," Tang Sui said, comforting him by patting her slightly trembling father's hand.
Tang Hao's killing intent paused, then dissipated the next moment. He murmured, "That's good... that's good..."
"Dad, I'll go back to the academy to report my safety first. You'll come to pick me up tomorrow morning, okay?" Seeing her father start to drift off again, Tang Sui naturally pulled his hand from her shoulder and then shook his wrist.
Tang Hao grunted and studied his youngest daughter. A thought arose in his mind.
His youngest daughter's own identity was more dangerous than the exposure of the Clear Sky Hammer. She was also a support-type spirit master, and her offensive power had always been her weakness. If she had no one to protect her, she might be in trouble when facing a strong enemy alone.
Since he was taking her out tomorrow anyway, why not... let him try to teach his youngest daughter the Clear Sky Hammer techniques.
The immense weight of the Clear Sky Hammer's attacks would be enough to give enemies a hard time. After all, this was the continent's number one tool spirit...
Thinking of this, a sigh flickered in Tang Hao's eyes. Tang Sui, unaware of what she was about to experience, was still thinking about how to explain to her little friends and teachers.
Meanwhile, the groggy Tang San finally woke up. The first thing he saw was a dark cave.
Hiss... Why did his neck still hurt a little, as if something had hit it?
Tang San adapted for two seconds, waiting for his brain to clear.
He remained lying down, secretly circulating the Xuan Tian Gong. Two points of green light flickered eerily in the darkness, casting a sinister glow as they stared at Tang San's prone figure. A cold sneer escaped the speaker: "Kid, you don't need to pretend anymore now that you're awake."
Indeed, they were a family.
This kid's vigilance and caution were like an old fox.
Coupled with his mastery of poison... it was unbelievable that this kid was only thirteen. Was the Clear Sky Douluo's gene really that good?
At this moment, Dugu Bo, who had concealed his presence and hidden in the darkness, had a contorted expression for a brief moment. Standing under the lemon tree, he truly felt envious of the talent of this pair of siblings.
Tang San was silent for two seconds, then suddenly opened his eyes. He no longer feigned unconsciousness and sat up from the ground, warily watching the figure standing silently behind him with his hands clasped behind his back.
The dark environment was extremely unfriendly to his eyes, but with a flash of purple in his eyes, Tang San could see the figure standing in the darkness, as well as the condition of the person's meridians and bones.
This was... that Titled Douluo!
And his body... so that's how it is.
Under the Purple Demon Eye, Tang San, who was like a human X-ray, understood. A peculiar light flashed in his eyes, and an idea suddenly struck him.
Although it was his territory, and neither of the formidable pair was present, Dugu Bo inexplicably felt a chill.
