Chapter 225: Da Ming and Er Ming Report Tang San
As long as it didn't involve Xiao Wu, Tang San was always someone who understood when to yield to circumstances.
Back when he first returned to the Clear Sky Sect, he was willing to take responsibility for his father's mistakes because he was in a weaker position and had to endure.
But when he returned to the Clear Sky Sect a second time, his power had already grown strong enough, so he immediately dealt with the elders who had blamed his father and cleared his father's name.
"I may not be able to do anything about Destruction for now, but I can do something about Xiao Qi!
Da Ming and Er Ming must have grown too comfortable living in the lower realm. Even when I ordered them to take Xiao Qi to the Emotion Inquiry Valley, they kept delaying it again and again!
I must make Xiao Qi the God of Emotions, but she doesn't have enough emotional experiences she can only be 'fast tracked' through Emotion Inquiry Valley."
With that thought, Tang San's divine power surged within him.
He had lost control of the Divine Realm Core, so if he wanted to possess Xiao Qi and manipulate her into going to Emotion Inquiry Valley, Destruction would notice it immediately.
Although Tang San deeply resented Destruction, he also knew that if a fight broke out now, he wouldn't win. After all, there was still a gap in power between them.
The only way to close that gap was time.
But Da Ming and Er Ming were different.
He was the one who resurrected them, and since they were merely divine officials without a true god position, summoning them was no difficult task.
The next moment, two semi transparent yet solid figures appeared before Tang San.
"Brother San!" Da Ming and Er Ming called out in unison.
Although Tang San was younger than them, he was Xiao Wu's husband. In terms of seniority, calling him "Brother San" was only natural.
Tang San nodded and swept his gaze over them, his tone indifferent.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, I still haven't seen you take Xiao Qi to Emotion Inquiry Valley.
I know you care about her and don't want her to suffer, but remember this: Without experiencing the storm, how can she ever see the rainbow?
Xiao Qi has never faced real hardships, and that won't do. A flower grown in a greenhouse will never become a true star.
Now that Nova is nowhere to be found, Xiao Qi must take on this responsibility."
Da Ming felt his heart skip a beat, sensing something was wrong.
He had no idea what had gotten into Tang San today why was he suddenly bringing this up again?
So, he tried to brush it off:
"Brother San, Xiao Qi is still young. I think we should wait a little longer before making any decisions."
Er Ming quickly agreed, adding, "That's right, Brother San! Xiao Qi is still just a student at Shrek Academy. Sending her alone to Emotion Inquiry Valley to face your trials is just too cruel."
From Er Ming's perspective, Tang San's reasoning didn't make any sense.
Although Tang San had indeed planned for Emotion Inquiry Valley, its original purpose was for "the God King's son in law selection".
As long as Nova became Tang San's son in law, then Xiao Qi would have a good home.
After all, Tang San was going to set up a series of trials in Emotion Inquiry Valley to evaluate Nova's character and morals.
As for Nova himself, Er Ming had no attachment to him. Even if the trials broke him emotionally, he wouldn't feel bad.
But Xiao Qi was different!
She was Xiao Wu's daughter, someone Er Ming genuinely cared about.
There was no way he was going to let Tang San torment her in Emotion Inquiry Valley.
Based on what he knew of Tang San, the man had definitely prepared some horrifying trials that Xiao Qi couldn't possibly endure.
Tang San's voice turned cold.
"That's enough. No more arguing. Just do it. If you won't take her, then I'll order the people of Sea God Island to do it instead."
Da Ming and Er Ming's faces darkened immediately.
Sea God Island didn't have any gods, but it was Sea God's territory.
With Tang San's status, issuing commands to the people of Sea God Island was as easy as breathing.
Seeing their expressions, Tang San calmly continued:
"Da Ming, Er Ming, I understand your concerns. But think about it carefully what kind of father doesn't love his own daughter?
I'm only doing this for Xiao Qi's future.
Now, go handle it. I need to continue my cultivation."
With that, Tang San waved his hand, and the projections of Da Ming and Er Ming instantly vanished.
Douluo Continent – Clear Sky Sect
Er Ming slammed his teacup onto the ground, shattering it into pieces.
Scalding tea spilled everywhere, white steam rising from the floor.
His face was twisted with rage.
"Big Brother, does Tang San even deserve to be called a father?!
If he wants to torment Nova, fine I won't say anything, since Nova has nothing to do with us.
But what about Xiao Qi?!
She's Xiao Wu's daughter! She even calls me "Second Father"!
I wouldn't object to a few simple tests, but Tang San wants her to enter Emotion Inquiry Valley alone! That place will tear her apart!"
In history, no one who entered alone ever came out alive.
Only those who entered in pairs had a chance to survive.
From Er Ming's perspective, Tang San might not kill Xiao Qi, but at her current age, going in alone was a death sentence.
Da Ming took a deep breath and said,
"Er Ming, from the beginning, we've always stood by Xiao Wu.
Tang San won't kill us, at least not out of respect for Xiao Wu.
So, the best thing we can do is tell Xiao Wu everything and let her stop him!"
They had no other choice.
Tang San's message was clear either they took Xiao Qi to Emotion Inquiry Valley, or Sea God Island would handle it.
They didn't have the strength to oppose Tang San, so this was their only option.
"Alright, Big Brother! Let's go report Tang San to Xiao Wu right now!" Er Ming gritted his teeth.
They were divine officials without true god positions.
Even though their connection to Tang San and Xiao Wu allowed them to live in the Divine Realm, their power was limited.
If they wanted to contact another god, they had to return to the Divine Realm.
"Right." Da Ming nodded firmly.
The two immediately set off for the Divine Realm.
Divine Realm – A Luxurious Palace
Xiao Wu, her scorpion braid swaying, was happily examining some exquisite outfits.
She had prepared them as gifts for Xiao Qi, planning to give them to her once she returned.
These clothes were woven from the Divine Realm's unique materials and could adjust their size automatically to fit the wearer.
In the Divine Realm, one day was equal to one year in the lower realm.
Even if Xiao Qi stayed in the Douluo Continent for thirty years, it would only be thirty days in the Divine Realm.
