Douluo Dragon King: Nine-Colored Lotus, Incinerating All Things

So, only Lin Jin, Mu Xi, and Tang Ziran and his wife remained in the courtyard.

With Tang Ziran and his wife thinking of Tang Wulin, they naturally wanted to return home as well.

Lin Jin arranged for five other people, but left them behind alone. This made them a little flustered, but they didn't dare to say anything and stayed.

On this day, longing finally overwhelmed reason.

Tang Ziran mustered her courage and approached Lin Jin. After bowing, she said, "My benefactor, although it may be somewhat offensive, I still wish to ask if you could escort my husband and me away?"

"We left when our child was only nine years old, and now he's probably almost an adult..."

"We miss him so much..."

Tang Ziran's eyes reddened.

Following behind, Lang Yue nervously twisted her ten fingers together, her slender body trembling slightly.

Lin Jin did not open his eyes, but with a thought, a wide chair appeared out of thin air.

Then he said calmly, "Sit down."

Tang Ziran and Lang Yue were both shocked by such methods, but their longing for each other overcame everything.

They exchanged a glance, but obediently sat down.

Only then did Lin Jin open his eyes and look at them.

The two felt uneasy under that calm gaze, and were awkwardly unsure of what to say when Lin Jin spoke:

"As far as I know, he is not your biological son."

Tang Ziran and Lang Yue both gasped for breath, their hands clenched tightly, their knuckles turning white.

"You...you know Wu Lin?"

"How did you know...?"

"Could it be that you are his real family member, which is why you came to save us?"

Few people should know that Tang Wulin was adopted.

They couldn't think of any other possibility.

For a moment, their expressions were somewhat complicated.

They were both afraid that their beloved child would be taken away, and relieved that their child had finally found a real family.

Lin Jin saw through their thoughts and said calmly, "He calls me senior brother."

"With my level of understanding, I can easily see that your essences are different."

Senior brother?

Tang Ziran and the other person exchanged a glance, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he hurriedly asked, "How is Wu Lin now? We..."

Lin Jin raised his hand to interrupt.

"He's fine."

"But I need to ask you, do you know his true identity?"

"It's truly worth getting involved in this karma."

His true identity?

Tang Ziran and his wife were startled and felt uneasy.

Ever since Tang Wulin displayed his terrifying appetite when he was a child, they had realized that this child was probably not simple.

Now that this has been indirectly confirmed, the complex emotions that I had just been wildly speculating about resurfaced in my mind.

Lin Jin quietly observed the two people's reactions.

Although Tang Ziran and Lang Yue are ordinary people, the fact that they were able to be held hostage by the Holy Spirit Cult and even develop a drug that could suppress the Demon Emperor's violent emotions shows that they are extremely intelligent.

Therefore, they must be able to guess some things.

Although they were targeted by the Holy Spirit Cult, it was due to their own abilities.

However, Tang Wulin's appearance was indeed the reason that prompted Tang Ziran to make her decision.

If they hadn't adopted Tang Wulin, there's an absolute 80% chance they could have lived a peaceful life.

Furthermore, by the time Tongyu comes knocking, the "defect" in his body might not be impossible to repair later in life.

Most importantly, as the master of the plane, Tang Hao is limited by the rules and cannot interfere with the natural evolution within the plane.

Tang Ziran and Lang Yue were just two ordinary researchers, yet they could easily steal the Eternal Heaven and hand it over to Gu Yuena.

Saving Tang Ziran and his wife would be incredibly simple.

But what was the outcome "at that time"?

It's no exaggeration to say that this is a matter of cause and effect.

Today, he asked these questions both to gauge the two men's attitudes and because of what Tang Wulin had said earlier.

The bond of blood cannot be easily severed.

He was well aware of this.

However, the Nine-Colored Lotus can even extinguish emotions, let alone bloodlines.

Tang Wulin intended to detach the essence of the Golden Dragon King from his body. In the process, severing certain bloodline connections was merely a convenient matter.

The divine thoughts left behind by Tang San indeed posed a great threat.

But in the end, it was just a lingering thought, and the power it could unleash was actually limited.

Moreover, its power cannot be replenished on its own; as Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King seal continues to break through, its power will also be continuously depleted.

Tang Wulin's early departure from Dragon Valley must have been aided by someone else.

In other words, the threat level of this divine thought is probably not as high as that of Tang Hao, the master of the plane.

He already possesses sufficient power to deal with the corresponding threats.

Having decided to take over the Golden Dragon King's Essence, he naturally needed to consider these threats in advance.

Tang Ziran and his wife held hands tightly together, their knuckles turning white, but their voices were firm.

“My husband and I adopted him, but we failed to fulfill our responsibilities as parents.”

"At only six years old, he was already cultivating while supplementing his family's income through forging and saving money to buy soul spirits..."

"We...are ashamed."

"But I wonder, do parents who abandoned him at such a young age really deserve to be called parents?"

Chapter 257 Family Reunion

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

A giant ocean liner docked at the port of the Douling Empire.

"We've finally arrived."

The boy stepped off the deck, easily passed the inspection, and immediately applied for soul guidance communication services within the Douling Empire.

"I don't know why my senior brother made me participate in the spirit battle..."

"Leaving Dragon Valley early meant that Old Tang had long since faded into obscurity..."

Tang Wulin muttered to himself, his heart filled with doubt.

However, recalling what he had seen over the past year, his eyes darkened.

The world is not what he thought it was.

Even beneath the glamorous facade, darkness lurks everywhere.

What he found most unbelievable was learning that various parties had coerced the Blacksmiths' Association, which led to the great battle that broke out.

The Tang Clan played a crucial role in this.

He was heartbroken when he learned all this.

aside...

It was his senior brother who gave him the spiritual items he needed to break through the first layer of the seal, free of charge.

These are the teachers and senior students who give him guidance every week.

It was his senior brother who used his martial spirit to alleviate his pain and reduce the risk of breaking the seal.

Even after moving away from Donghai City, he would still travel thousands of miles back every month to help him solve his problems.

After being admitted to Shrek Academy, he was mentored by his senior classmates, teachers, and mentors.

On the other side...

It was Teacher Wu who led him to join the Tang Clan, a sect with a history of twenty thousand years of glory.

He learned to observe and analyze from an outsider's perspective, a skill he acquired during his year-long travels.

Then they discovered what the Blacksmiths' Guild had done wrong.

The mistake was that the senior brother used his own abilities to create five-word and six-word battle armor.

However, the various factions were unable to obtain it because they had offended their senior brother.

Then, taking advantage of his senior brother's absence, he resorted to coercion.

It's aboveboard, yet disgusting.

On this point, he actually felt that the Holy Spirit Church's open and aboveboard attack seemed even more convincing.

At least, others acknowledge their own evil.

The previous conflict at Shrek Academy, however, disguised the blatant use of power to intimidate others as...righteous and awe-inspiring.

It is even said that afterwards, a powerful figure from Shrek Academy attempted to assassinate the teacher and senior master.

At that moment, he asked himself, Tang Sect, Shrek Academy, Spirit Pagoda, Temple of War...
