Half an hour ago.
Just as Zhang Chi was busy on his own.
Yang Yun led a serious-looking middle-aged man, following behind a boy in worn-out clothes, and walked towards where Zhang Chi was.
"Little San, are you sure Xiao Chi is over here right now?"
"Aunt Yang, I saw Zhang Chi when I was chopping wood earlier; he walked in this direction. I've often seen him running this way over the past few days. I definitely wouldn't have misseen it."
As he spoke, a faint, imperceptible purple glint flashed in Tang San's eyes.
Hearing Tang San's confident words, the middle-aged man following behind Yang Yun nodded.
"A-Yun, Little San is a good kid; I believe he wouldn't lie. We'll know once we follow him and see. I wonder what Xiao Chi has been doing these past few days? Could it be that he knew I was coming back early and is secretly preparing a surprise for me?"
Hearing Zhang Su say this, Yang Yun replied somewhat uncertainly.
"A-Su, I didn't tell Xiao Chi the news that you were coming back early; I wanted to give him a surprise too..."
After a pause, Yang Yun continued.
"Last time, Xiao Chi cried for a long time because he missed you. This time, when he sees that you've come to visit him early, he will definitely be very happy."
Upon hearing Yang Yun's words, a smile appeared on Zhang Su's face.
"That kid Xiao Chi has been very quiet since he was little, and he rarely shows his emotions in front of me. I didn't expect this kid to be so attached to me!"
Seeing the smiles on Zhang Su and Yang Yun's faces when they talked about Zhang Chi, a trace of envy flashed unconsciously in Tang San's eyes.
"Zhang Chi is truly lucky. Why does he deserve to have parents like this?"
Recalling Tang Hao's behavior, Tang San sighed in his heart.
Immediately after, Tang San called out to Yang Yun and the other, who were still talking.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Yang, Zhang Chi should still be waiting for you over there, right?"
Hearing Tang San's urging, Yang Yun and Zhang Su composed their emotions and followed behind Tang San again.
Ten minutes or so later, guided by Tang San, the three arrived at the back mountain, at the location where Zhang Chi was.
This was an open area. Although they were quite a distance away, the three of them could still clearly see Zhang Chi, who was kowtowing and paying his respects in the distance.
Utilizing the Purple Demon Eye, Tang San clearly saw the text on the wooden tablet in front of Zhang Chi.
"To my loving mother Yang Yun, loving father Zhang Su above, filial son Zhang Chi erects this."
Unconsciously reading the text on the wooden tablet aloud, a trace of confusion flashed in Tang San's eyes.
"Is this a grave?"
While pondering, Tang San turned his head and glanced at Yang Yun and the other.
Zhang Su and his wife, who were originally wondering what Zhang Chi was doing, were suddenly stunned.
"What is that?"
Zhang Su rubbed his eyes.
Looking towards Zhang Chi's position again, Zhang Su's expression shifted slightly after discovering that even he, a Spirit Elder, could not clearly see the text on the wooden tablet. However, he still pretended not to care and looked at Tang San, asking.
"Little San, can you see the text on it even from this far away?"
"Uncle Zhang, I was born with good eyesight."
"Oh, is that so!"
Zhang Su seemed to believe Tang San's words and nodded directly, but a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.
"There seems to be something strange about this Tang San... It's at least three or four hundred meters from here to where Xiao Chi is. Even I, a Spirit Elder, cannot clearly see the text on that wooden tablet, yet this child who hasn't cultivated can see it. And his decadent blacksmith father as well. He is clearly just an ordinary person, yet his casual gaze can make even me, a Spirit Elder, feel fear. I thought it was an illusion before, but now it seems he is also not a simple fellow."
Thinking of this, Zhang Su already had the thought of taking his family away from Saint Spirit Village as soon as possible.
"No, that Tang Hao is likely a Spirit Master with strength far greater than mine, and hiding his identity while living in Saint Spirit Village is probably... Wait... Tang... Tang Hao!"
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Su's back.
"Impossible, it can't be His Excellency... No, no... I must take A-Yun and Xiao Chi away as soon as possible. A big shot with this much trouble is not someone our family can afford to get involved with. However, I can't leave too quickly either. If I leave too hastily and Tang Hao notices something abnormal, making him think I'm going to report him, then things will be troublesome."
In a very short amount of time, Zhang Su thought of a lot.
Although Zhang Su did not show anything unusual on his face, Yang Yun, as Zhang Su's partner, still sensed some problems.
After a little thought, Yang Yun squatted down.
After reaching out to touch Tang San's messy hair, Yang Yun said softly.
"Little San, thank you for this time. If it weren't for you, Auntie would probably have had to go to a lot of trouble to find Xiao Chi. You go back first, and Auntie will treat you to a meal in a few days."
Listening to Yang Yun's gentle voice, Tang San nodded and said.
"Okay, Auntie, then I'll go back first."
Saying this, Tang San walked towards the direction he came from.
Seeing Tang San leave, Yang Yun was not in a hurry to ask Zhang Su for the reason, but instead pointed at Zhang Chi and said.
"A-Su, Xiao Chi's state is not right; we need to hurry over and take a look first."
"Mm."
Zhang Su also stopped thinking about Tang Hao's problem, silently followed behind Yang Yun, and walked quickly towards Zhang Chi.
After the two left, Tang San walked out from behind a large tree not far away, unhurriedly.
A purple glint flickered in his eyes, and Tang San muttered to himself.
"I want to see what exactly Zhang Chi wants to do?"
...
Looking at his parents behind him, Zhang Chi scratched his head and stood there, feeling somewhat awkward.
At this time, being closer, Zhang Su and his wife were able to see the text on the wooden tablet clearly.
"To my loving mother Yang Yun, loving father Zhang Su above. Filial son Zhang Chi erects this."
Zhang Su read the text on the wooden tablet in a low voice.
Looking at this neat style, and the small grave mound behind the wooden tablet, Zhang Su's face gradually darkened.
"Good boy, you really gave your mother and me a huge surprise!"
Listening to what Zhang Su said, Zhang Chi's lips moved.
However, considering the two red dots he saw on the edge of the mini-map when he just used the Entry Investigation Technique, Zhang Chi silently abandoned the idea of explaining.
After holding it in for a long time, Zhang Chi finally stiffened his neck and yelled at Zhang Su.
"Dad, go easy, don't hit the face..."
Zhang Su, who had been waiting for Zhang Chi's explanation, was stunned.
A moment later, Zhang Su, having reacted, stopped speaking.
After exchanging a glance with Yang Yun, Zhang Su silently pulled out the homemade belt from his waist...
A minute or two later, looking at Zhang Chi, who had several blue-purple marks on his back, Zhang Su stopped his hand.
He looked at the grave mound not far away, and then looked at Zhang Chi's silent appearance.
Knowing his child's personality, Zhang Su didn't ask much, but silently bent down and carefully carried Zhang Chi on his back.
On the way home with Yang Yun and Zhang Chi, Zhang Su also began to consider the plan to move...
At this moment, knowing that he had passed the test for the time being, Zhang Chi continued to use the risk-free Entry Investigation Technique opportunity.
When he noticed that the two red dots on the edge of the mini-map were just moving away and had not completely disappeared from the mini-map, Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
After a slight hesitation, Zhang Chi abandoned the idea of saving, and directly used the two risk-free investigation opportunities.
The next instant, a panel appeared before Zhang Chi's eyes.
[Target of this investigation: Tang San. Existing entries are as follows]
[Child of Destiny (Gold)]
[twin spirits (Purple)]
[Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline (Purple)]
[Hidden Weapons Master (Blue)]
[Toxicology Master (Blue)]
[Mysterious Heaven Skill (Blue)]
[Sharp Ears and Bright Eyes (Blue)]
[Rustic (White)]
Looking at the entry information, Zhang Chi narrowed his eyes slightly.
Immediately, Zhang Chi tried to reach out and touch the entries on the panel.
With Zhang Chi's action, lines of analysis text appeared.
Child of Destiny (Gold): When the time comes, heaven and earth work together. The owner of the entry carries more than half of the luck of the Douluo World. It is easier to encounter fortuitous events when exploring. It is easier to encounter favored Spirit Beasts when hunting for spirit rings, easier to obtain desired Spirit Abilities after absorbing spirit rings, and easier to drop Spirit Bones when hunting Spirit Beasts... Easier to be trusted by others... Schemes against the owner of the entry are difficult to succeed...
Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline (Purple): The noblest existence among Blue Silver Grass. After awakening the Blue Silver Emperor Spirit, one will obtain the innate Blue Silver Domain. When using life-type Spirit Abilities, the effect of the Spirit Ability is greatly enhanced.
Mysterious Heaven Skill (Blue): After years of unremitting practice, you have reached the bottleneck of the first stage. Your foundation is solid, your spirit power is thick, and your cultivation talent is slightly improved. When breaking through to the highest realm of the technique, the quality of the entry will be upgraded again.
Sharp Ears and Bright Eyes (Blue): Memory and learning speed are greatly improved, and the speed of practicing specific secret techniques is slightly improved.
Rustic (White): An overly mediocre appearance makes you lack friends of the opposite sex in life, but relatively speaking, you will not get into any trouble while submerged in the crowd.
Looking at the information in the light screen, Zhang Chi couldn't help but smack his lips.
"Counting that neither good nor bad white entry, the Tang San who hasn't grown up yet already has eight entries..."
After secretly clicking his tongue, Zhang Chi didn't pay much attention to this trivial matter.
After all, it was just cheating; he had his own cheats, and his cheats were clearly higher-tier than Tang San's.
No longer paying attention to Tang San, Zhang Chi turned his gaze to the other red dot on the edge of the mini-map.
"If the red dot nearby is Tang San, then, if nothing goes wrong, the red dot further away should be Tang Hao..."
