Chapter 284: Tang San Xiao Wu
"What's wrong, Master? Is there something wrong with my spirit certificate?"
Tang San asked doubtfully.
Yu Xiaogang suppressed his excitement and impatience and said the same thing as in the novel: "I'm just a guest here, eating and drinking for free. You can call me Master like everyone else. Everyone calls me that. I've even forgotten my own name. The Spirit Hall certificate says your name is Tang San, right? Tang San, you must understand that Master and Teacher have completely different meanings. Don't call me the wrong one next time. Unless you truly want me to be your teacher."
"Will you teach me to cultivate my spirit?" Tang San's answer was exactly the same as in the novel, and he asked back.
"Then are you willing?" Yu Xiaogang stopped.
Tang San naturally wouldn't just accept a disciple casually.
At this point, Yu Xiaogang knew it was time to show off.
He immediately revealed Tang San's twin spirits.
In truth, Tang San had awakened his twin spirits simply because he carried the bloodline of the Swift Wind Demon Wolf Emperor, the grandson of the Hundred Thousand Years Old Swift Wind Demon Wolf Emperor. While the Wind Wolf's spirit remained an ordinary Wind Wolf, it possessed the bloodline of a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast, rivaling the Clear Sky Hammer in quality.
Furthermore, it possessed the innate full spirit power cultivated through the Mysterious Heaven Art.
A combination of coincidences led to Yu Xiaogang's unexpected success.
But Tang San was successfully fooled.
Without even needing Tang Weiwei's assistance, he dropped to his knees, addressed Yu Xiaogang as "Master," and uttered the famous phrase, "Once a teacher, always a father," which moved Yu Xiaogang to tears and captivated Tang Weiwei.
Ultimately, Tang Weiwei's wish came true, and they became his senior and junior brothers.
Holding Yu Xiaogang's hand, the two completed their registration under the Dean's meaningful gaze.
Tang Weiwei's wish was fulfilled, but Tang San was about to miss out on the most important person in his life.
At the entrance to Notting College.
Xiao Wu, having completed her transformation, had just presented her spirit certificate and was about to enter when a familiar, gentle voice suddenly echoed from behind her, "Xiao Wu!"
"Who is it? How do you know my name?" Xiao Wu's words were cut short as her gaze caught sight of the person she'd been waiting for so long—Ah Rou.
Yes, that was Xiao Wu's mother, Ah Rou.
Originally, according to Lin Hanye's plan, this heartless old rabbit was to be buried with Tang San.
However, Ah Rou had been diligent in the Spirit Master Guild over the years, and Ah Yin had spoken well of her.
So, Lin Hanye decided to give this old rabbit a chance.
After all, even if I, Lin, despised this old rabbit, I couldn't let her get away with it so easily, could I?
And so, the scene before us unfolded.
Upon seeing Ah Rou, Xiao Wu's pupils almost immediately constricted. "Mom." Not caring that they were at the gates of Notting College, not caring that they were still on the street, Xiao Wu, only six years old at transformation, leaped into her mother's arms. Her two bouncy little legs wrapped around Ah Rou's waist, hugging her tightly. Her delicate, almost slender face buried itself in Ah Rou's shoulder, which trembled violently.
Ah Rou could clearly feel her daughter's heartbeat. How could she not be thrilled to see her daughter again after more than a decade?
She wrapped her arms around Xiao Wu's petite frame, her eyes welling up.
Seeing Ah Rou's attire and demeanor, she resembled a splendid lady, the guard tactfully avoided looking at them, secretly feeling relieved.
My goodness!
This little girl must come from a powerful family.
It was a relief that he hadn't embarrassed her.
"Xiao Wu, don't cry. Mommy's back," Ah Rou consoled Xiao Wu, pulling out a red spider lily, a flower that could conceal the presence of spirit beasts. This would conceal Xiao Wu's identity.
"Wow, Mom, don't you want Xiao Wu anymore? How could you suddenly disappear? Where have you been all these years? Xiao Wu misses you so much! Da Ming and Er Ming have been looking for you for ages, but we can't find you. Now even Da Ming is gone, wow."
It's no wonder Xiao Wu was so upset. Ever since Ah Rou suddenly vanished, the Azure Bull Python had vanished within a few years, leaving Xiao Wu and the Titan Ape living in constant fear.
They worried that they would one day disappear like Ah Rou and the Azure Bull Python, their bodies nowhere to be found.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Wu. It's Mom's fault. It's all my fault for making you worry." Ah Rou's collar was wet with Xiao Wu's tears. Her bouncy little hands were wrapped tightly around Ah Rou's neck, as if afraid she'd run away again.
Ah Rou felt somewhat helpless.
She didn't want to find Xiao Wu, but she had been captured as a transformed spirit beast by a human Titled Douluo.
If only one of that master's wives had also been a transformed spirit beast...
Any other human Titled Douluo would have died long ago.
Even so, it was only through years of dedicated effort that she secured this opportunity to reunite with her daughter.
And according to that adult, her daughter was ensnared in a man-made web.
Had she not appeared, the outcome would have been far worse.
As for the Azure Bull Python's death, I can only offer my apologies. The same goes for the Titan Ape.
Ah Rou wasn't as selfless as one might imagine. When faced with a choice between her daughter, the Titan Ape, or the Azure Bull Python, she undoubtedly chose her daughter.
To save her daughter and relieve herself of any burden, she allowed Lin Hanye to alter her memory. She recalled that the Azure Bull Python was killed by the Clear Sky Sect and then encountered by her and Ah Yin. When the Azure Bull Python was critically injured and near death, Ah Rou persuaded it to be sacrificed to Ah Yin, a fellow transformed spirit beast.
Xiao Wu raised her head, her eyes red as she said, "Then Mom, you can never leave me again. Even if you go to practice, you must take me with you."
"Okay, okay, I promise, but this isn't the place to talk," Ah Rou said, wiping her daughter's tears with soothing words.
Just then, Xiao Wu's stomach growled uncontrollably. Ah Rou smiled faintly, "Come on, Mom will take you to dinner."
"Okay," Xiao Wu nodded emphatically, not even accepting her Spirit Master certificate. She followed Ah Rou, hand in hand, and left.
After a while, Ah Rou found a nearby hotel and ordered a large table of Xiao Wu's favorite dishes.
Ah Rou looked at her daughter, who was enjoying her meal, smiled softly, and said, "Don't rush. Eat slowly."
"Wow, it's so delicious," Xiao Wu said, slurring her words as she chewed her food. She was now a foodie, no longer looking heartbroken.
