In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 284 Tang Ritian's Night Meeting with Yu Xiaogang

"Who is it that's bothering me at this hour..."

Yu Xiaogang scratched his head and muttered something under his breath.

Bang, bang, bang!

The person outside did not respond, but continued to knock on the door.

"Here it comes!"

Yu Xiaogang didn't think much of it and went over to open the door, where she immediately saw a tall man.

He wore a simple gray robe, his messy black hair was draped over his shoulders, his aged face was etched with the marks of time, and his cloudy eyes seemed to indicate that he was already in his twilight years, which did not match his appearance of being only about fifty years old.

"Who are you……"

When Yu Xiaogang saw him, she was stunned.

"Hello, Master," the man said calmly, his voice low and somewhat hoarse.

"Speaking of which, it's been about twenty years since we last met. No wonder you don't recognize me now, given my current appearance. My name is Tang Hao."

"Tang Hao?!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically. Her pupils focused almost instantly as she stared intently at the person in front of her.

"You, you are Hao, no, Ri..."

Tang Hao seemed to realize what Yu Xiaogang was about to say, his face darkened, he waved his hand to stop the master from continuing, and said coldly: "There's no need to mention the past titles anymore, especially since they were a disgrace inflicted on me by the Spirit Hall... Anyway, we met a few times back then. Others might think you're just a madman, but I know you're a 'persistent' person."

Yu Xiaogang gradually calmed down, and her stiff face twitched slightly.

"Looks like I was right, you really are the mistress's father. The mistress only became my apprentice today, so why are you here so late? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Tang Hao paused for a moment, then said, "I'm leaving, and he's the only one I'm worried about. So, I hope to entrust my mistress to you."

"Where are you going? He's your son." Yu Xiaogang glared at Tang Hao, her eyes sharp.

Tang Hao: ?

You're so brave...

Faced with Yu Xiaogang's behavior, Tang Hao felt that his dignity as a Title Douluo had been slightly violated, but he also began to look at Yu Xiaogang with new respect, since he seemed to genuinely be thinking of Tang San's best interests.

Tang Hao still has mixed feelings about his strange son, Tang San.

He continued coldly, "He is also your disciple. I must leave; there are many things I must do. He will not find happiness following me. I have no other demands; his life is his own choice. Ten years have passed since I left this world. Now he has grown up, and there are some things I must do."

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.

Judging from Tang Hao's words, could it be that he is planning to seek revenge against the Spirit Hall?

Although Yu Xiaogang rationally believed that it would be unwise for Tang Hao to go looking for trouble with the Spirit Hall, which would be tantamount to causing trouble for the Clear Sky Sect... he would not offer any advice.

After all, whether or not he could persuade him was one thing, but he also wanted to see Tang Hao triumphantly take revenge on the Spirit Hall.

For some reason, the image of Bibi Dong cruelly expelling him from Wuhun City flashed through his mind, and he later realized that it might have been Qian Xunji who was secretly causing trouble.

Heaven knows how relieved he felt when he heard the news a few years ago that Tang Hao had beaten Qian Xunji to death, and it was at that time that he began to admire Tang Hao.

How could Yu Xiaogang possibly have imagined that Tang Hao wasn't stupid either? This trip wasn't about taking revenge on the Spirit Hall; it was actually for the Rakshasa Trials... I wonder what Yu Xiaogang's reaction would be if he knew that his prized disciple Tang San hadn't achieved anything yet, while his father was already undergoing the Divine Trials.

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and asked, "Isn't it too cruel for the mistress to just leave so quietly?"

Tang Hao's expression remained calm.

"He himself decided to take an extraordinary path, and being with me would be cruel to him."

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say, Master. I'm entrusting these things to you; I think you'll make good use of them."

"Finally... no matter what, please remember, he is my son!"

After speaking, Tang Hao waved his hand, and several items landed on the wooden table behind Yu Xiaogang. The most eye-catching item was a jet-black token with six patterns engraved on it, symbolizing the identity of an elder of the Spirit Hall. Apart from the real elders of the Spirit Hall, only the leaders of the three upper sects each held one.

Unexpectedly, the Spirit Hall actually left this token with the Clear Sky Sect, and the Clear Sky Sect's token is still in Tang Hao's possession...

Yu Xiaogang glanced behind her, her gaze darkening slightly as she pondered.

Just then, with a "bang," the door slammed shut, and Tang Hao's figure vanished.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. "I never imagined that my idol would turn out like this."

He shook his head. Tang Hao's arrival tonight and the delivery of the Spirit Hall Elder's Token undoubtedly relieved him of a great weight, and for a moment he felt quite pleased with himself.

Yu Xiaogang quickly turned around and walked to the wooden table. He picked up the token, looked at it, and touched it. He could hardly hide the smile on his face.

As expected, I, Yu Xiaogang, am still as outstanding as ever. With the qualifications of a level 29 Great Soul Master, I roam among the world's top experts, and I also hold the Elder's Token of the Spirit Hall in my hand... If I still possessed the strength at the same time, I would probably have already led the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to the pinnacle of the continent!

Yu Xiaogang seemed to have fallen asleep early, lost in his daydreams. He played with the token for a while before reluctantly putting it down, then turned his gaze to the other things Tang Hao had just given him.

There were two boxes.

Upon seeing the familiar packaging, Yu Xiaogang had a sudden thought and immediately opened the two boxes one by one. Sure enough, two soul ring inner cores came into view.

There was a piece of paper under the box. Yu Xiaogang pulled it out and looked at it. On the paper was Tang Hao's message:

"I've seen this new thing from the Spirit Hall. It shouldn't have any problems. After all, before me, all the major sects, families, and the two great empires must have tested it. So let's just follow the trend of the times."

"These are two top-grade hundred-year-old soul ring inner cores, corresponding to the first and second soul ring positions of Xiao San respectively. I have carefully selected them. Master, please pass them on to my son on my behalf. Do not reveal my existence. As for how I obtained them, you don't need to worry about it."

"Of course, if you have different ideas about my son's choice of spirit rings, I won't stop you. Just be mindful of your limits."
