Titan, who had come up empty, looked up and met Tang San's wary gaze. "Senior Titan, what are you doing?"
Titan paid no attention to Tang San's wary eyes, his mind solely occupied by another question. He filtered out everyone else and stared intently at the siblings, asking, "You both have the surname Tang. Is your father also surnamed Tang?"
A fleeting thought flashed through Tang San's eyes. He looked at Titan with a hint of scrutiny, then cautiously nodded, but did not reveal Tang Hao's name.
Could it be that this person actually knew Father?
Titan's guess was about to be confirmed, his voice trembling with excitement. "Is your father... Tang Hao?"
This time, Tang San was truly surprised. He hadn't expected Titan to be an old acquaintance of their father.
"So what if he is?" Tang Sui's clear voice affirmed Titan's guess.
Titan's aged face flushed with excitement. Under the calm gaze of Tang Sui and the shocked eyes of Tang San, with a spine of pride, the Soul Douluo-level expert Titan straightened his expression and, with a "thump," knelt on one knee. "This old servant, Titan, pays respects to the Young Master! And to the Eldest Young Lady!"
Young Master?!
Eldest Young Lady?!
Are they referring to Xiao San (Third Brother) and Sui Sui?!
Oscar and the other two standing beside the siblings exchanged bewildered glances, especially Xiao Wu, who had grown up with them. She was utterly confused.
What?!
Xiao San and Sui Sui are actually descendants of another clan?
How did she not know?!
At this moment, Xiao Wu recalled the small, dilapidated wooden house in Sacred Soul Village from her distant memories. She then looked intently at Titan, who, though dressed simply, exuded an extraordinary presence. She fell silent.
This... they couldn't possibly have made a mistake, right?
Titan, absolutely certain he was not mistaken, tried to suppress the churning emotions within him and took a deep breath. Under a multitude of shocked gazes, he said in a deep voice, "Eldest Young Lady, this old servant did not recognize you earlier and offended you. I nearly injured you. I beg your forgiveness!"
Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi, who also wore expressions of surprise, exchanged a subtle glance. Gu Rong shook his head and observed the Tang San and Tang Sui siblings with scrutiny.
Those addressed as "master's family" by Titan could only be the direct descendants of the Clear Sky School...
As far as he knew, this direct descendant was none other than the Clear Sky Douluo – Tang Hao, whose presence had been absent from the continent for a long time.
But according to Rong Rong, their brother's martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, and their sister's was a mask. Neither had inherited the Clear Sky Hammer befitting a direct descendant...
Rong Rong said they were twins, so it was impossible for them to have simultaneously inherited the martial souls from their mother's side. After all... the probability of having twin martial souls was very small.
It did not exceed one hand, and the only existing twin martial souls were possessed by the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious Gu Rong found the situation. He exchanged another glance with Ning Fengzhi, who was deep in thought.
As for Tang San, his mind went blank the moment Titan knelt.
Even though he knew his father was hiding his abilities and intentionally living in seclusion when he was young, what kind of identity did his father once possess that could make a Soul Douluo-level expert revere him as a master?
"Se-senior, could you have made a mistake?" Tang San managed to utter a few words and stepped forward, attempting to help Titan up.
But the stubborn and resolute Titan refused to rise, insisting on kneeling and stating with certainty, "This old servant's eyes are not so dim as to mistake his master's family. Furthermore, your father is my master, Tang Hao, so there can be no mistake!"
If they were their master's bloodline, then it was no wonder these two siblings possessed such exceptional talent!
Titan, now a fervent supporter with a ten-layer family retainer's filter applied, declared that his master's bloodline should indeed be this outstanding!
"Brother, he might not be mistaken."
As Tang San struggled to help Titan up, Tang Sui spoke calmly, her face composed. Everyone's gaze fell upon Tang Sui's exquisite, unperturbed face, their thoughts diverse.
Titan's eyes flashed with excitement, and he stared intently at Tang Sui. "Eldest Young Lady, did Master mention me to you? Do you know where Master is now?"
He had not seen Tang Hao for a very, very long time.
So long that he had almost thought... after that famous battle over ten years ago, Tang Hao might have...
"Cough,"
Tang Sui was unable to reply to Titan.
Ning Fengzhi cupped his fist and brought it to his lips, clearing his throat. With a gentle smile on his refined and handsome face, he politely suggested, "In my opinion, why don't you find a quieter place to discuss this thoroughly and confirm everything?"
They had come with the intention of recruiting them.
Now, it turned out that these two exceptionally talented siblings were the bloodline of another great sect.
In this world, everyone valued their bloodline the most. Those from great families, even if they married outsiders, would have their children marked with one of their parents' clan labels from birth.
Ning Fengzhi, who was feeling complicated, never expected to not only fail to recruit anyone but also gain two potential "rivals."
However, he still had a question: neither of the siblings had inherited the Clear Sky Hammer martial soul of that Clear Sky Douluo, which was rare in the spirit master world.
After all, martial souls were linked to bloodlines, and even mutations would not stray too far.
The Clear Sky School's bloodline was indeed dominant. Even if they hadn't inherited the Clear Sky School's Clear Sky Hammer martial soul emblem, it was impossible for their mother to be a twin martial soul possessor and for each of them to have inherited one, right?
Admittedly, Ning Fengzhi had reached the same conclusion as Gu Rong.
With Ning Fengzhi's suggestion, Tang San also felt that it was inappropriate for Titan to remain kneeling in public and conversing like this.
However...
He looked at Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, who were clearly also here for the siblings, with some difficulty. Before he could speak, Tang Sui tugged his sleeve and looked at him with a smile, her eyes twinkling:
"Brother, you go and catch up with Senior Titan."
Leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to me.
