Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Golden Dragon, Tang San's adoptive father

Chapter 74 The debt of gratitude to the Haotian Sect can never be repaid

He had been so careless. He realized that the beautiful woman in front of him was actually his own aunt. However, his aunt had never visited him since he was born. Why was she suddenly coming to see him today? Was it because of Tang Hao?

He hoped Tang Yuehua wouldn't speak up for Tang Hao, otherwise he wouldn't need to acknowledge her as his aunt anymore. After all, he had already decided to sever his father-son relationship with Tang Hao, and anyone who chose to stand with Tang Hao would be considered his enemy. Thinking of this, Tang San's gaze sharpened, and he tentatively asked, "Did Tang Hao send you to find me?"

Hearing Xiao San directly address Tang Hao by his own aunt's full name, Lin Feng thought to himself, "Wow, this is truly a case of filial piety bringing strength!" He wondered if Xiao San would later call out Tang Yuehua's name directly. However, this was Xiao San's personal family matter, and it wasn't appropriate for him to say anything. It was best to remain silent. Upon hearing Tang San's words, Tang Yuehua was immediately stunned. Brother Hao had said that Xiao San and she had a conflict, but today it seemed that their conflict was more than just a simple disagreement. "Xiao San, how can you call your father's name so directly?"

Tang Yuehua looked at Tang San with displeasure. Having been raised with the idea that an elder brother is like a father, she had never addressed Tang Hao like that to his face. Seeing her younger brother's disrespect for her brother, Tang Yuehua was furious. "Father? From the moment Tang Hao abandoned Mother, he ceased to be my father!"

Tang San looked at Tang Yuehua and sneered. It seemed Tang Yuehua had come to speak for Tang Hao today, so there was no need for him to acknowledge her as his aunt. Given the sibling relationship between Tang Hao and Tang Yuehua, Tang Yuehua would definitely side with Tang Hao. Hearing that Tang San was still angry about Ah Yin, Tang Yuehua immediately spoke her prepared words, "Little San, Brother Hao planted your mother in the cave for her safety. Don't misunderstand your father's good intentions!"

"Bullshit! When I found my mother in the cave, she was already on the verge of death. If my master hadn't rescued her, I probably would never have seen her again in my life!"

Tang San said with immense anger that his mother and master were now his inviolable taboos. Anyone who dared to harm them would face certain death. This Tang Yuehua, relying on her status as his elder, was reprimanding him indiscriminately and even trying to whitewash Tang Hao's crimes. In Tang San's eyes, Tang Yuehua seemed to be courting death. Meanwhile, Tang Yuehua trembled with rage upon hearing Tang San's outrageous words. She had initially thought Tang San was just a bit older and had the rebellious streak typical of children, but today it seemed he was more than just rebellious; he completely disregarded their elders. However, remembering the task Hao-ge had assigned her, Tang Yuehua suppressed her anger and said, "Little San, no matter what, you are still a member of the Tang family, Hao-ge's son."

"You are a member of the Haotian Sect. Everything you have today is given to you by your father and by the Haotian Sect!"

The Clear Sky Sect had finally produced a genius even more outstanding than Tang Hao, and Tang Yuehua was determined to bind Tang San to their sect's cause. Since their grandfather Tang Chen's disappearance, the Clear Sky Sect had been dormant for far too long. Now, seeing the sect regain its glory, she was determined not to give up. Tang Yuehua's words stunned not only Lin Feng but also Tang San. His current achievements were entirely due to his mentor's guidance, yet Tang Yuehua wanted to attribute all the credit to Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect—utterly shameless! He had initially thought Tang Hao was a hypocritical scoundrel, but his sister was equally deceitful, constantly resorting to moral blackmail. "I owe Tang Hao nothing, much less the Clear Sky Sect," she declared.

"I only know that the two people who have been most kind to me are my mother and my master!"

Tang San said resolutely, although Tang Hao had given him a second life, Tang San had already repaid that debt before he was six years old. If he hadn't cooked for Tang Hao all those years, Tang Hao might have starved to death long ago. "You!!!"

Tang Yuehua was so angry she couldn't speak. She never expected the mistress to say such heartless things. Immediately, her eyes turned bloodshot and she gasped for breath, "Mistress, you can never repay the debt of gratitude owed to the Haotian Sect!"

"Gratitude?"

After hearing Tang Yuehua's words, Tang San sneered inwardly. In his opinion, only the kindness of his master and mother could be truly repaid. As for Tang Hao, he was merely his biological father, and he had never received any favors from the Clear Sky Sect, so what kindness could he possibly owe them?

Thinking this, Tang San didn't want to continue arguing with Tang Yuehua, so he immediately left with his teacher, leaving Tang Yuehua alone there, panting heavily. On the way, Tang San asked the question that had been on his mind, "Master, did Tang Hao come here once?"

Judging from what Tang Yuehua just said, Tang Hao must know that his mother has been taken away by his master. The reason why Tang Hao didn't come to cause trouble for his master himself, Tang San thinks, is that he must have encountered some trouble on the way. Hearing this, Lin Feng nodded. Not long ago, when they returned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Lin Feng sensed two familiar auras lurking near the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and it seemed that they had fought afterward. Judging from what Tang Yuehua said today, those two familiar auras were probably Chi Wang and Tang Hao. It seems that Chi Wang is quite powerful. He chased away Tang Hao, who came to demand his wife, without saying a word. I wonder where Tang Hao is hiding in Yuexuan now, secretly crying. His wife is gone, and he must be heartbroken. "Xiao San, you're right. Tang Hao did come once, but he was taken away by Rui'er's bodyguards. However, if you want to see him, you can go to Yuexuan to find him."

It's been over six years since Xiao San last saw Tang Hao. I wonder if there will be a scene of fatherly love and filial piety when the two meet again. Tang San shook his head, "I don't have enough strength to entangle that wretched Tang Hao right now. Let him enjoy a comfortable life for a while longer."

Hearing this, Lin Feng was greatly surprised. Good heavens, what a filial son! He actually called his own father a "wicked child." It seems the mistress had held back when speaking to Tang Yuehua earlier; otherwise, the word "wicked child" coming from her mouth would have infuriated her.
