Douluo Continent: Twin Golden and Silver Dragons Shock Bibi Dong

Old Titan kept saying that his aunt and father had a deep bond, and that she would definitely treat him well because of that aunt.

But... what about his biological father, Tang Hao?

The six years he spent in Holy Soul Village involuntarily surfaced in Tang San's mind.

That blacksmith father who was always drunk and reeking of alcohol, who didn't care about anything at home, and whose young child even had to stand on a stool to cook porridge and meals for him!

That father who always treated him with indifference and extreme coldness, never bothering to utter a single warm word!

Tang San felt none of the kind of fatherly love and meticulous care that other children experience from his decadent father!

In the end, the man simply left a cold letter and walked away irresponsibly.

Even later, Titan said that his father, Tang Hao, was a great hero who stood tall and was the powerful Haotian Douluo who shook the world.

but!

For Tang San, no matter how imposing Tang Hao may be outside, when it comes to "fulfilling the responsibilities of a father and caring for his son," this great hero Tang Hao is actually not even as good as his teacher Yu Xiaogang, whose value he had just completely rejected in his heart!

Although Yu Xiaogang was a useless person with no practical combat ability, at least during those years at Notting Academy, he did fulfill the care that an elder should have for Tang San in terms of his diet, daily life and daily concern.

Now, a complete stranger suddenly appears as an aunt. Just because of that vague blood relationship, will she really accept him without reservation and even use her precious connections with powerful people to help him build his power?

In this cruel world of Soul Masters where everything is about exchanging interests, in this Heaven Dou City where people are devoured without a trace.

Does this sudden "family bond" really come without any price to pay?

Is she... really reliable?

Seeing Tang San standing there without saying anything, and even with a hint of wariness and suspicion in his eyes, the shrewd Titan could easily tell what Tang San was worried about.

Old Titan sighed and immediately expressed sincerely:

"Young Master, this old servant knows that you have suffered a lot these past few years. It is a good thing that you are more cautious."

Whether Miss Yuehua can be trusted or not, even if this old servant talks himself hoarse, you will surely still have doubts in your heart.

"In that case, why don't you come with me to meet her in person and test the waters? Wouldn't that make everything clear then?"

Tang San still hesitated upon hearing the suggestion.

"Don't worry, she's absolutely safe," Titan reassured her. "Miss Yuehua's martial soul has mutated, and she will never be able to break through to level nine, so she is not a true soul master."

The Spirit Hall doesn't usually pay much attention to her.

Furthermore, she is tactful and insightful in her dealings with people. Having run Yuexuan in Tiandou City for so many years, she has never easily made enemies with anyone.

Even the bishop of the Spirit Hall, considering his intricate network of noble connections, would absolutely not want to sever ties with her.

"Therefore, you don't need to worry at all that contact with her will arouse suspicion and vigilance from the Spirit Hall."

Old Titan patted his muscular chest. "To put it another way, with this old servant personally accompanying you, what else could you possibly worry about, young master?"

Upon hearing this, Tang San considered it for a moment.

Old Titan is right. He really needs this power. He can't be timid and hesitant just because something hasn't happened yet.

He took a deep breath and nodded: "Okay, then I'll go with you to see her. Where is she now?"

“This old servant just inquired and found out that Miss Yuehua was not at Yuexuan today, but went to the Tiandou Royal Hotel to take care of some business.” Titan smiled. “That’s perfect. That place is extremely private. Meeting there will avoid us having to hide our identities at Yuexuan.”

Tang San then walked with Titan towards the Tian Dou Royal Hotel.

However, as he got closer to the magnificent hotel, Tang San's steps became heavier and heavier, and a strong sense of unease and restlessness suddenly rose in his heart.

He suddenly remembered that Xiao Wu had once mentioned to him unintentionally that she and Ning Rongrong usually stayed at the Tiandou Royal Hotel in Tiandou City!

Moreover, this is a high-end hotel that only caters to top nobles and high-level Soul Masters.

Although he has now broken through level 30 and become a Soul Master, he can barely be considered a high-level Soul Master in the eyes of ordinary people and is qualified to enter.

But... what if we run into Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong in the lobby or corridor after we go in?!

Thinking back to the disgraceful farce that happened at Blue Tyrant Academy last night, Tang San really didn't know how to face Xiao Wu and the others.

But, since we're already here...

If he were to turn around and run away now just because he's afraid of meeting a few girls, wouldn't that make Tang San seem too cowardly and lack the courage to face reality?

Tang San smiled bitterly to himself.

Even though he had thoroughly understood the nature of the matter with absolute rationality and "utilitarian" thinking, and decided not to fight Xuan Hao to the death for those illusory face-saving reasons.

But in the end... humans are emotional beings.

If you really ask him to calmly face Xuan Hao, he still can't completely let go of that innocent and pretty image in his heart.

When it comes to feelings, how can you so easily let go and cleanly sever them?

Although he had rationally resolved to stop dwelling on the past and to stop being that ridiculous unrequited lover.

But if he had to watch Xiao Wu and Xuan Hao being intimate and laughing together...

He really can't face that needle-like stinging pain calmly right now!

Chapter 308 Grandpa Tai's "divine assistance": Young Master, these two girls are quite a good match for you!

……

After much hesitation, Tang San arrived at the luxurious gates of the Tian Dou Royal Hotel, but ultimately succumbed to the slight cowardice in his heart.

He grabbed Old Titan, who was about to go inside, and whispered, "Grandpa Titan, I'd better not go in yet. You go in first to check the situation and see if she's available right now. If she's not here, or is busy with something else, it'll save me from the awkwardness of waiting in there."

Although Titan didn't know what Tang San was worried about in his sudden retreat, considering that the young master might be hesitant to return home, he readily agreed: "Alright, then please wait here for a moment, young master. This old servant will be right back."

Watching Titan's imposing figure disappear behind the revolving door, Tang San looked around and cautiously hid in an inconspicuous corner of the shadows outside the hotel entrance.

However, before he could mentally rehearse how he would face his aunt whom he had never met before, a clear and melodious voice suddenly came from the street not far away.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu, who had just gone out to buy some snacks and pastries from upscale shops near the night market, were walking back hand in hand, chatting and laughing.

With her sharp eyes, Ning Rongrong spotted Tang San almost immediately, dressed in a dark blue outfit, sneaking around the corner of the hotel.

She subtly squeezed Xiao Wu's hand and gave her a meaningful look.

Xiao Wu immediately understood.

The two instantly switched into acting mode, pretending to be naive and innocent, not noticing anything and knowing nothing, and quietly and stealthily circled around behind Tang San.

"Hey!"

Xiao Wu suddenly reached out and patted Tang San's shoulder hard. "Xiao San! Why are you here all alone?"

"hiss--"

Tang San, who was in a state of high tension and distraction, was startled by the sudden slap and jumped back to his feet.

He turned around abruptly, and when he saw that pretty face so close to his, with a playful smile, Tang San's heart skipped a beat, and a look of extreme guilt and panic flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao...Xiao Wu? Rongrong?" Tang San stammered, taking half a step back. "What...what are you doing outside?"

"We just went to buy some snacks." Xiao Wu tilted her head. "What are you doing standing alone at the hotel entrance? Did you come all this way to see me?"

"Uh...no, that..."

Tang San felt increasingly guilty under Xiao Wu's open gaze. He looked away and hesitated for a long time before finally making up an excuse, "I... came here to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Xiao Wu's eyes widened in surprise. "Do you have other friends in Tiandou City? How come I've never heard you mention them before?"

"I...I only heard about it today. Grandpa Tai told me," Tang San said, forcing a smile.

"Old Titan?" Ning Rongrong, who was standing to the side, interjected at the right moment, looking around with a puzzled expression. "Then what are you doing standing here like an idiot? Where is he?"

"Grandpa Tai... went in first to check on the situation. I'll wait for him to come out here." Tang San pointed to the hotel entrance, feeling sweat almost pouring down his back.

"Oh dear, why are you still so stubborn!"

Xiao Wu grabbed Tang San's arm. "There are so many people coming and going outside, what's the point of waiting? Since you're here to see a friend, why don't you just go inside and sit on the sofa in the lobby and wait!"

"Come on, come on, don't stand here like a pillar!"

Without giving Tang San a chance to refuse, Xiao Wu grabbed his arm and dragged him into the hotel's magnificent entrance.

Feeling the warm, soft touch on his arm, Tang San froze, his mind going completely blank.

He instinctively wanted to break free, but when faced with Xiao Wu's innocent and passionate gaze, he couldn't find any suitable reason to resist and could only be dragged into the hotel lobby by Xiao Wu.

As luck would have it, just as they stepped into the hotel lobby, Old Titan hurriedly came down the stairs leading to the luxury suites.

Seeing Tang San with Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, Old Titan was clearly stunned for a moment, but he didn't have time to ask any more questions. He quickly stepped forward and whispered to Tang San, "Young Master, it's confirmed. They're upstairs."

"Who's upstairs?" Xiao Wu poked her head out at the opportune moment and asked with a gossipy look on her face.

Tang San's heart tightened suddenly. He glanced at Old Titan instinctively, hesitated for a moment, but still chose not to tell the truth, only giving a vague answer:

“An older friend.”

Seeing his hesitant and guarded demeanor, clearly unwilling to say more, Xiao Wu playfully pouted and released his arm: "Tch, if you don't want to talk, then don't. Why all the mystery?"

"Then you should go see your elder friend first. We won't bother you any longer. Go back to your room and put your things away."

Xiao Wu turned around, took Ning Rongrong's hand, and after taking a couple of steps, she turned back as if nothing had happened and smiled brightly at Tang San, inviting him, "By the way, Xiao San, Rongrong and I are planning to go to the Heaven Dou Auction House to watch the excitement later. If you're free after meeting your friends, why don't you come and join us!"

At this moment, Tang San was preoccupied with how to escape from this extremely awkward situation as quickly as possible, and had no mind to think about the auction house.

Faced with Xiao Wu's invitation, he nodded repeatedly and readily agreed as if he had grasped a lifeline: "Okay, okay, I'll go as soon as I see her. You guys go up first."

After saying that, Tang San followed Old Titan upstairs as if he were fleeing.

Watching Tang San's hurried figure, Old Titan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but stroke his rough stubble, a knowing smile in his eyes.

"Young Master," Old Titan slowed his pace, gently nudged Tang San with his shoulder, and teased in a low voice, "Those two pretty young girls from earlier were quite charming. Are they your girlfriends?"

"Cough cough—!"

Tang San was feeling guilty when he was startled by Old Titan's sudden remark. He coughed twice and quickly waved his hands, his face flushed, denying, "No, no! Grandpa Titan, you've misunderstood. They're just ordinary friends I used to know!"

"Oh, young master, what is there to be ashamed of in front of this old servant?"

Old Titan chuckled, his face beaming with the wisdom of someone who'd been there all along.

“You’re not young anymore, and it’s certainly time for you to start thinking about these things. Although I’m a rough man, I still have a good eye for people. Those two girls from earlier were both outstanding in terms of looks and figure, and they were a good match for you standing together.”

Actually, it's no wonder that the old Titan was blind.

Although he had led the Power Clan to establish themselves in Tiandou City for many years, he was a complete blacksmithing fanatic throughout his life.
