"Brother, I saw you frowning just now. Did something happen?" Xiao Wu asked, looking up at him with a puzzled expression.
Tang San's eyes flickered, but the smile on his face didn't change. He gently reached out and tapped Xiao Wu's nose. "Nothing much, just lamenting the decline of the Tang Sect."
Xiao Wu heard this and softly said, "The Tang Sect's decline is ultimately due to its inability to keep up with the times and the scattering of people's hearts. You don't need to feel so emotional about it."
Tang San nodded, but he clearly didn't intend to dwell on this issue. He quickly changed the subject. "Speaking of which, that little girl Xiao Qi has been clamoring to go to the Douluo Continent to play. Should we send her there?"
"Is that okay? I'm afraid that with Xiao Qi's personality, she'll turn the Douluo Continent upside down." As a mother, Xiao Wu understood her daughter's temperament very well.
This girl was practically a pampered darling in the God Realm, and because of the doting, her personality was inevitably a bit arrogant.
Tang San smiled faintly. "That's simple. We can temporarily seal Xiao Qi's memories in the God Realm. Besides, Da Ming, Er Ming, and Mom and Dad are all on the Douluo Continent, so we don't have to worry about safety. Letting her go to the Douluo Continent this time is also a way to temper her temperament."
"Children will eventually have to go out and soar on their own. We have to learn to let go. I've already chosen a god position from the sealed ones. In the future, when Xiao Qi grows up, she can directly inherit the god position."
Xiao Wu was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I'll follow your lead."
The couple embraced, Xiao Wu enjoying their private time. Tang San, however, gazed at the distant void, his deep eyes seemingly lost in thought.
"Still nothing."
The sun had risen in the sky. Huo Yuhao, having finished his meditation, quickly went to the window and activated his Heavenly Eye, searching for an opportunity.
However, the motionless Heavenly Eye poured cold water on his hopes. The Heavenly Eye was exactly the same as yesterday.
"Could it be that I really need to obtain my first soul ring and reach the Soul Master realm before there's any change?" Huo Yuhao lowered his head, pondering. With a thought, the Heavenly Eye quickly dissipated.
He had hoped to use the one-year gap before the main storyline began to continuously improve the Heavenly Eye's cultivation method, but it seemed that wouldn't work.
Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao cleared his mind and quickly washed up before heading to the living room.
Old Chen was still there, leisurely drinking tea. Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, expertly went to the kitchen because Old Chen had instructed him to get his own food.
However, while Huo Yuhao was eating breakfast, the Second Wife brought Dai Luoli to the Fallen Maple Courtyard.
When Huo Yuhao heard the sound and came to the side of the living room to look, he was stunned. He saw Dai Luoli sitting obediently on a single sofa, looking like a bullied rabbit. But what was strange was that only a small part of Dai Luoli's backside was touching the sofa; the rest was suspended in the air, as if he was afraid to sit down.
Old Chen and the Second Wife were talking.
Before Huo Yuhao could continue observing Dai Luoli, the Second Wife's voice rang out, sounding very serious, "Old Chen, Li'er told me last night about the training method you came up with. It's too dangerous."
Huo Yuhao stood in place, not going into the living room to disturb them, just listening quietly.
Old Chen took a sip of tea, his expression unchanged, and said, "I know what you're worried about. After all, you are a mother and don't want your child to encounter any danger. But I want to say that Lioli can't grow up under your protection for the rest of his life. He must learn to stand on his own."
"As for that dangerous training method, I won't let him experience it directly at this stage. These things need to be done gradually. I'll only introduce it when the time is right… Your intentions are good, but don't forget, this child, Dai Luoli, is an individual. He has his own thoughts. Although I also hope he lives a peaceful life, he's a member of the White Tiger Clan, and Dai Hao's son. Do you think he can truly live a peaceful life?"
"Of course, it's possible, but that path will only make Dai Luoli a laughingstock. Because of his identity, he's the White Tiger Duke's son. The world expects him to be strong, not weak. You can't change that, so do you want your child to live under those circumstances?"
Hearing Old Chen's question, the Second Wife fell silent.
"Mom, I want to become strong." Dai Luoli endured the pain on his bottom, his small face stubborn as he shouted at the Second Wife.
The Second Wife didn't speak, but simply gave him a look.
Dai Luoli shivered and quickly shut his mouth. It was because he was too stubborn last night that his mother rewarded him with a serving of 'Bamboo Shoot Fried Meat'. That feeling was simply unforgettable.
"Dai Luoli's talent isn't bad, but his martial soul's origin hasn't been correctly guided to develop that talent. Just do me a favor and let him try, alright?" Old Chen said. "I guarantee you, he won't die, even if I do."
"Old Chen, you're being too serious." The Second Wife's expression changed, she didn't expect Old Chen to be so blunt.
"Sigh." Sighing, the Second Wife said helplessly, "How could I not want my son, Luoli, to become strong? But the stronger he gets, the more likely he is to attract Zhu Ruiying's jealousy. Then I'm afraid she'll secretly make a move, and as a mother, I'm useless. There are many things I can't protect him from."
"I've already figured out a solution for this," Old Chen responded.
Hearing this, the Second Wife instinctively looked at Old Chen.
Dai Luoli, however, was lowering his head, seemingly lost in thought, but his fists were clenched tightly.
Old Chen stroked his beard and said, "If Luoli can reach the Soul Grand Master realm before he turns twelve, I'll send him to the Star Luo Royal Soul Master Academy to study. Your father, as the chief instructor of the Imperial Guard, doesn't have a particularly high position, but he has an excellent relationship with the royal family. With this connection, wouldn't everything be easier?"
"I don't believe anyone would be bold enough to make a move at the Royal Academy. At least two Title Douluo are stationed there."
The Second Wife's expression changed, clearly moved by Old Chen's words. She turned to look at Dai Luoli. "Luoli, do you really want to use those dangerous training methods to unleash your potential?"
Dai Luoli suddenly raised his head. "Yes. Even if it costs me my life, I will. The First Wife looks down on you, Mother, and Dai Huabin looks down on me. I will definitely slap their faces in the future, showing them who the real trash is."
The Second Wife, after all, came from a distinguished family. Hearing Dai Luoli's firm answer, she shook her head and smiled. "Alright, Mother agrees. For the next three years, you will train with Old Chen."
"Thank you, Mother." Seeing the most difficult hurdle had passed, Dai Luoli couldn't help but laugh. However, perhaps the movement was a bit too big, as he pulled on his rear, and he immediately let out a cry of pain.
The Second Wife's mouth twitched, and she shook her head helplessly.
"By the way, Old Chen, what about that child?"
Having decided on her own child's affairs, the Second Wife, as soon as she had some free time, suddenly recalled the trembling youth standing on the stone bridge that night, and her expression became somewhat strange.
"Yuhao, come out." Old Chen called out without turning his head.
Huo Yuhao, who was hiding by the side of the wall, heard Old Chen calling him and quickly walked out.
