Time quickly passed, and Tang San became a member of Shi San's blacksmith shop, beginning to live a fulfilling life. Every day he read the books Grandmaster gave him, Grandmaster's teachings were much more useful than the basic theories the Academy teachers talked about. On the other hand, Dai Xinghun had nothing to do. Every day, besides cultivating, he would also cultivate. In his spare time, he would sneak out and find a fifty thousand year old Viper King to help him attach another soul ring.
Nuoding primary spirit master academy, a semester was a year's time, students were not allowed to go home during the entire process, but relatives could come to visit. Tang San had more than once looked forward to his father's arrival, but even until the end of the semester, he still hadn't seen Tang Hao. Fortunately his life was sufficiently fulfilling, and he didn't have too much time to think about him.
As for Spirit Hall, not long after Tang San conducted the Spirit Master assessment, Spirit Hall's people came to Nuoding Academy to find Grandmaster. Grandmaster didn't tell Tang San what they talked about, and Tang San also didn't ask, but from the smile on Grandmaster's face more than usual, Tang San guessed that the relationship between Spirit Hall and Grandmaster should have become much better.
"Xiao Wu, tomorrow is the holiday, do you want to go home?”Tang San said to Xiao Wu while packing up his luggage. A year had passed, and he was finally able to go home to see his father. This afternoon, he had already applied for leave from Shi San at the blacksmith shop and specially bought a brand new forging hammer to give to his father.
Originally Tang San planned to invite Dai Xing Hun to his house, to let his father see the powerful big brother he recognized, but when Tang San found Dai Xing Hun, Dai Xing Hun said he had something on and couldn't go.
Xiao Wu leaned back on the bed, her eyes revealing a bit of loneliness, vastly different from her usual lively and cheerful self,”
"It's been a year, you still don't go home to take a look?”
"Little San, isn't your home not far from the Academy? Why don't I go back with you to play? In any case, Wang Sheng and Xiao Chenyu they all went to participate in the intermediate Spirit Master Academy examinations, no one to play with me.”
Tang San smiled. After a year of getting along, he could be considered to understand Xiao Wu quite well. This little girl was lively and active, always looking like she wanted the world to be in chaos. When she pretended to be gentle, no matter how you looked at her, she was like a lovely doll, but once she went crazy, her Nuoding Xiao Wu jiejie title wasn't for nothing.
"My family is very poor. There's nothing to entertain you.”
Xiao Wu placed her hands on her hips, her big eyes glaring at Tang San: "You're very frugal with your monthly allowance and can't bear to spend it. Are you afraid of entertaining me?”
"Speaking of subsidies I suddenly remembered, someone seems to still owe me six silver coins.”
Xiao Wu stared blankly for a moment, her tender little face revealing a bit of embarrassment. A monthly allowance of one gold coin absolutely wasn't little, only, she really was extravagant with her spending, buying whatever she saw good, not caring in the slightest whether it was useful or not. Now she already had her own bedding, no longer needing to share it with Tang San. She never knew how to manage her finances, once she had no money to spend she would borrow from Tang San, already becoming a habit.
"Isn't it just six silver coins? I'll return it to you after I give you the subsidy. You haven't said whether you're willing to let me go with you.”
"If you want to go, go. However, my father has a bad temper.”
"I'm so cute, your dad will definitely like me."”While speaking, she still winked at Tang San with a gentle appearance.
Others might be deceived by her appearance, but Tang San had seen her volcano erupting too many times, and could only helplessly shake his head, not falling for her trick in the slightest. "You don't have to use the honey trap on me, right? Fortunately, you're only seven years old now. If you were a little older, you might really have some talent as a vixen.”
"Vixen? What is it?" Xiao Wu curiously asked.
"It's a kind of spirit beast that becomes a spirit, specialized in seducing men.”
Xiao Wu stared blankly for a moment, looking at Tang San with a somewhat strange gaze. In the blink of an eye, her mood suddenly became agitated: "Go to hell. How dare you call me a vixen? I want to duel with you.”While speaking, she already bared her fangs and brandished her claws as she jumped up from her bed, pouncing at Tang San.
The other working students were already used to this scene. If there was a day when the two of them didn't fight a few times, perhaps they would feel uncomfortable instead. Early the next morning, Tang San set off with a bouncing little girl beside him, wearing Nuoding Academy's uniform, leaving Nuoding City for Sheng Hun Village.
"How far is it?" Xiao Wu looked left and right, then asked casually.
"We're almost there. Do you see that mountain over there? Our Holy Spirit Village is at the foot of the mountain." Almost home, Tang San couldn't help feeling somewhat excited. If Nuoding Academy hadn't stipulated that he had to return to the academy to live at night, with teachers checking on him every day, perhaps Tang San would have long ago gone home to see his father.
But when Tang San returned home, he still didn't see his father's figure, the dilapidated house covered in dust. Tang San's heart full of joy instantly turned into helpless disappointment, touching and tidying up the messy room, tidying up everything in the room. The normally lively Xiao Wu now maintained her silence, walking to Tang San's side, quietly helping him put things away one by one, scooping clear water from the water vat outside, helping him wipe the dust in the room.
The sun was setting in the west. In front of the blacksmith shop, two petite figures were sitting side by side. They were wearing the same clothes and just sat there quietly. The afterglow of the sun fell on them with a faint red color, as if it had branded a golden red circle on their bodies. The girl on the left turned her head to look at the boy. She placed her hands on her chin and wanted to say something, but she held it back in the end.
The one who spoke was the boy, holding a brand new forging hammer in his hand,"Xiao Wu, thank you."”
"Thank me for what?" Xiao Wu curiously asked.
"Thank you for always accompanying me." Tang San lowered his head, looking at the ground beneath his feet, his eyes somewhat blurred, also somewhat hazy, but in the end no tears fell.
Xiao Wu giggled, pushing Tang San's shoulder once, this time exerting great force, almost pushing Tang San down, Your father is only leaving temporarily. One day, you will meet again. Perhaps he left just to let you grow stronger. If you continue like this, won't you be letting down his painstaking efforts?”
"Perhaps, but why didn't he let me see him again?" Xiao Wu, do you know that dad is my only family? Without a father, the house was no longer a house.”
Xiao Wu shook her head, throwing her long scorpion braid in front of her,"Without dad, you still have me as a friend. If you must find a relative, I don't mind being your elder sister. Quick, call me Sister Xiao Wu. Everyone calls me that, except you.”
Looking at Xiao Wu's delicate appearance and that rosy little face illuminated by the afterglow of the setting sun, Tang San couldn't help smiling. When a person's heart was at its weakest, having someone by his side to accompany him was always an extremely beautiful thing.
"If you're willing to be my sister, I won't object. If I remember correctly, although we are the same age, you seem to be a few months younger than me. I was born in January, but you were born in August, right?”
"Don't even think about it. I'm only an elder sister, not a younger sister." Xiao Wu unhappily raised her hand to knock at Tang San's head.
Tang San's body flashed, already leaping out, standing three meters in front of Xiao Wu,”
Tang San's expression was very serious, as if he had decided on something. Xiao Wu also didn't play around anymore, her little face showing a bit of cleverness, nodding to him. Tang San took the initiative to pull Xiao Wu's soft little hand, running towards the hill outside the village, the two's shadows gradually stretching on the ground under the setting sun's illumination.
Tang San brought Xiao Wu all the way to the top of the mountain before stopping. Under the circumstances of fully urging Mysterious Heaven Skill, he also couldn't help panting slightly. Standing on the top of the mountain, Tang San faced the setting sun, his eyes already filled with purple, I'm asking you a serious question, and I hope you can answer me seriously.”
"Do you know that your current appearance is very similar to those old men in the Academy?”
Tang San slowly turned around, seriously looking at Xiao Wu, I really hope that I can have another family member.”
Xiao Wu was just about to say something, but was stopped by Tang San, I don't have anything. You've seen my family's situation. I'm just a poor commoner. I can't give you wealth or power. You are also born with full spirit power, but you are different from me. I can see that there should be a story behind your birth. But I never asked, because I was afraid that the difference in our backgrounds was too great, and we couldn't even be friends. However, I really hope to have a sister like you. Although I can't give you what nobles have, I can give you my promise. I will always protect my sister and won't let her get hurt.”
Seeing Tang San's tearful eyes, Xiao Wu's eyes gradually turned red,"If one day, many people want to kill me, and you can't beat those people, what do you do?”
Tang San's face suddenly revealed a faint smile,”
Xiao Wu was silent, and Tang San also didn't speak again. The red of the setting sun gradually faded, and right now the stars in the sky were already quietly emerging. "Brother." Xiao Wu used a simple word to break the silence between the two.
The tears he had been holding back all this time finally fell. Tang San's hands trembled, pulling Xiao Wu's hand,”
His father was gone, but he had a younger sister. Tang San raised his head to look at the sky, silently swearing a lifetime oath to the stars in the sky. As night fell, the two children sat on the top of the mountain, feeling the gentle breeze of the mountain peak. They looked at the stars and moon in the sky. The quiet atmosphere and fresh air all brought a comfortable feeling.
At this moment, outside Nuoding Academy's main gate, a figure was slowly leaving. He was 1.7 meters tall, and his long black hair draped over his waist. The breeze blew past him, and it slowly fluttered.
