Chapter 14: You Don't Understand, He's Different

"Ordinary?" Li Wei laughed. "That's really quite ordinary."

Xiao Wu remained silent, simply watching him quietly.

Li Wei said, "His father is named Tang Hao, whose title is Haotian. He is a direct disciple of the Haotian Sect and the youngest Title Douluo in the Soul Master world."

Haotian Douluo?

How is that possible?

Xiao Wu stared at him in disbelief.

Li Wei continued, "Your identity was exposed long ago. If Tang San hadn't been unable to withstand the 100,000-year spirit ring, do you think you would still be alive?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Xiao Wu shook her head frantically, shouting, "His father was clearly just an ordinary blacksmith, how could he possibly be a Title Douluo?"

Xiao Wu couldn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it.

If Tang San's father is indeed a Title Douluo, how would he treat her?

Bless them?

impossible.

How could a titled Douluo allow his son to fall in love with a soul beast?

Even if she were no different from a human now, it would still be impossible.

Moreover, no Soul Master can resist the temptation of a 100,000-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

"He is indeed a blacksmith, but not just any ordinary blacksmith. He is one of the three great blacksmiths remaining on the continent, and Tang San was taught his forging skills by him."

Li Wei's expression was sarcastic:

"The Clear Sky Sect's inherited martial spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer. They can be said to be born blacksmiths, and many of their unique skills were learned in the process of forging iron."

If you've ever been to the blacksmith shop where he worked, you'll know how much those blacksmiths revered him. They revered the Haotian Sect's ultimate technique, the Chaotic Cloak Hammering Method.

Xiao Wu opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

She had indeed heard the name "Wild Cloak" from the blacksmiths.

Tang San also said that it was passed down to him by his father.

Li Wei took out the Elder's Token of the Spirit Hall and tossed it to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu took it: "What is this?"

Li Wei said, "The Elder's Token of the Spirit Hall is a token that only the elders of the Spirit Hall and some Title Douluos can possess."

This is the one Tang Hao possessed, but he gave it to the master, and I obtained mine from the master.

Xiao Wu suddenly realized something and exclaimed, "You're the masked man!"

"That's right."

With a thought, Li Wei's Bad Guy Suit covered his entire body.

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded.

What kind of tactic is this?

If it's a soul skill, I didn't see him use soul rings or soul bones.

Li Wei continued, "Tang Hao has been secretly watching you, and I'm no match for him, so this is the only way I can lure him away."

【? ? ? 】

Wow, wow, you really can come up with that so easily!

[Awesome!]

Since ancient times, true feelings have been fleeting, but clever tactics have always won people's hearts.

……

Xiao Wu stared at the token in her hand and fell silent.

It seems to be true.

Although the reason is unknown, the other party is already able to withstand a 100,000-year spirit ring. If he came for his own spirit ring, there would be no need for him to lie like this.

Despite believing it, Xiao Wu still couldn't accept it.

Li Wei continued, "I told you, your understanding of Tang San is limited to what you see on the surface. Do you really think his kindness is genuine?"

Do you even know that you don't even count as much in his heart as that good-for-nothing "master"? He's the kind of person who gets sold out and then helps the seller count the money—that's you!

Xiao Wu suddenly looked up: "You're talking nonsense."

"I'm talking nonsense?" Li Wei sneered. "Do you know he has twin martial souls?"

Xiao Wu: "???"

Li Wei sneered, "Even that good-for-nothing master knows these things, yet you don't? Are you still going to cling to your naive ideas?"

If I didn't know the plot, I would have actually believed your lies.

Don't worry about whether it's real or fake, as long as it works.

[If I don't do this, it'll be hard to make Xiaowu give up. Even so, it doesn't feel right.]

"That doesn't prove anything."

Xiao Wu remained defiant, but the disappointment in her expression was undeniable.

"What if I told you that he actually knew you were a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form, and that all his kindness towards you was just a ploy to trick you into sacrificing yourself to him in the future?"

Li Wei looked at her with a smile.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Xiao Wu stood up excitedly.

Li Wei scoffed, "Nothing is impossible. Do you know that Tang San's mother was also a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form?"

Xiao Wu: "???"

Tang San's mother was actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast that had taken human form.

Then wouldn't his father be...?

"Are you thinking that since his father can accept his mother, he can accept you too?" Li Wei looked at her with a smile, as if he could see through her thoughts.

Xiao Wu's expression froze.

"Have you ever heard him mention his mother?" Li Wei's lips curled slightly.

Xiao Wu: "..."

He did mention it, but only that he had never met his mother, and didn't even know her name or where she was now.

Li Wei said, "His mother accompanied his father on his travels across the continent for many years. It just so happened that when his father reached level 90, they were exposed and were hunted down by the Spirit Hall."

You've probably already guessed the ending: his mother was sacrificed to his father. Do you think the same coincidence might happen to you someday?

Xiao Wu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

It remained undetected for so many years, but it was only when his father broke through to level 90 that it was exposed.

Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

Li Wei shrugged and said, "Tang Hao would not allow his son to fall in love with a soul beast. Even if he did, the Haotian Sect would not allow it."

The only way to prevent Tang San from getting too involved is to tell him your true identity, letting him know that this is just a staged drama.

Xiao Wu fell silent again.

Although the other party only had suspicions, they were very reasonable suspicions.

The son of a titled Douluo, and from a top-tier power like the Clear Sky Sect, which even she, a soul beast, knows about.

How could Tang San possibly be allowed to fall in love with a soul beast like her?

but……

She would never believe that Tang San had been faking it all these years; no one could fake it so well, without a single flaw.

Xiao Wu unconsciously recalled all the moments she had shared with Tang San over the years.

As I thought about it, tears welled up in my eyes.

Whether it's true or false isn't that important anymore. Based on Tang Hao and the Clear Sky Sect, there's basically no chance for her and Tang San to get together.

Li Wei asked curiously, "I'm very curious, even if you're not tens of thousands of years old, you must be several thousand or tens of thousands of years old. How could you possibly be interested in that little brat who's only a few years old?"

"You don't understand, he's different."

Xiao Wu was clearly crying, but her eyes were shining with an inexplicable light.

Li Wei: "..."

"Then why are you crying? Since you like him so much, you should do everything you can for this love."

Li Wei gestured with his hand:

"It's bound to happen sooner or later anyway, so go ahead and offer yourself as a sacrifice to him. I believe he will be moved by your sincere love."
