"Pfft..."
Just then, the door to the secret room suddenly opened, and a Silver-haired Man walked in. He looked at Xiao Wu with a playful expression, and Xiao Wu's numb face instantly became distorted. Her eyes radiated an intense hatred.
If looks and expressions could kill, the Silver-haired Man would have been tortured and killed by Xiao Wu thousands of times over!
This Silver-haired Man was Lin Chen. He walked up to Xiao Wu and teased, "Looks like you're not dead yet!"
Xiao Wu slowly stood up, her arms forcefully supporting her body, and said fiercely, "Third Brother won't let you off!"
Lin Chen laughed heartily, "Third Brother? Your Third Brother can barely protect himself, how would he remember you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu struggled to support her body, half-kneeling on the ground, and looked at Lin Chen, asking in a panic, "What did you do to Third Brother?"
Lin Chen spread his hands and smiled, "Oh my, so concerned about your beloved brother, but your beloved brother doesn't have you in his heart!"
"You're spouting nonsense, Third Brother loves me the most!" Xiao Wu retorted excitedly.
Lin Chen smiled, "Loves you the most? What a joke. If he loved you the most, how could he not help you revive your mother?"
"What did you say? You said my mother can be revived?" Xiao Wu asked excitedly.
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Your mother's soul is still stored in Bibi Dong's Spirit Bone. Reviving her after becoming a god would be effortless. But what about Tang San? He killed Bibi Dong without a second thought. Am I wrong?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xiao Wu said with a face full of horror, "You... you know everything?"
Lin Chen nodded and smiled, "I read your memories. I didn't expect your origins to be truly extraordinary!"
Xiao Wu frowned tightly and asked, "What exactly do you want to do? Since you know our origins, why don't you release me quickly?"
Lin Chen burst into laughter, "Release you? You're too funny, little rabbit. To say something like that, I think you've really been blinded by love. You came to the human World for revenge, but you didn't cultivate properly, causing trouble all day long. What's even funnier is that your mother could have been revived, but Tang San ruined her last hope!"
"No, it's not like that, I didn't know my mother could be revived at all, I didn't know... I really didn't know!" Xiao Wu kept shaking her head and speaking. The more she spoke, the more agitated she became, and tears involuntarily streamed from her eyes!
Lin Chen sneered, "You can happily fall in love just by saying 'I didn't know'? And in the end, you even sacrificed yourself and your two little brothers to Tang San? Xiao Wu, oh Xiao Wu, you are truly the disgrace of the Spirit Beast race, the scum of the Spirit Beast race!" Lin Chen said, poking Xiao Wu's head with his index finger.
"No... it's not... How can you say that about me? Da Ming and Er Ming's sacrifice had nothing to do with me, I had already sacrificed myself by then!" Xiao Wu said.
Lin Chen chuckled and said, "Oh, is sacrificing yourself glorious? If you hadn't sacrificed yourself to Tang San, how could Da Ming and Er Ming have sacrificed themselves to Tang San? And now you're saying it has nothing to do with you? That's truly ridiculous!"
"I..." Xiao Wu was at a loss for words to refute Lin Chen for a moment. Indeed, her sacrifice was voluntary, but a large part of the reason Da Ming and Er Ming sacrificed themselves to Tang San was because of her!
Lin Chen continued with a chuckle, "Let's not talk about that for now. What about ten thousand years later? Tang San split Tang Wutong's soul in half, stuffing one half into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Imperial Auspicious Beast, just to seize the Star Dou Great Forest's luck. Don't tell me you don't know about this either? Don't you know the importance of auspicious beasts to the Spirit Beast race?
Looking at the bewildered Xiao Wu, Lin Chen smiled slightly and continued, "Half of Tang San's own bloodline comes from the Blue Silver Emperor, and you are a 100,000-year-old transformed Spirit Beast. Tang San didn't think about how to repay the Spirit Beast race's kindness. His subsequent actions were even aimed at severing the roots of the Spirit Beast race! So, saying you are the disgrace of the Spirit Beast race, the scum of the Spirit Beast race, is not wrong at all!"
"No... it's not like that..." Xiao Wu murmured, but she couldn't say anything to refute him!
"Tang San was also quite cunning. To control the Son of Luck, Huo Yuhao, he even put a chastity lock on his own daughter. Is this something a father should do? What's funny is that despite all his schemes, he still couldn't control Huo Yuhao, and even triggered a divine war, ultimately ending up fallen. All his calculations, in the end, amounted to nothing!" Lin Chen laughed heartily.
Xiao Wu remained silent, but her expression became bewildered. Lin Chen patted Xiao Wu's face and asked, "Don't tell me you don't know any of this?"
Xiao Wu came back to her senses, looking at Lin Chen with some grievance, and said, "I... I really didn't know, I also didn't expect him to do that!"
Xiao Wu, who had come to her senses, also found Tang San's actions somewhat unbelievable!
Lin Chen smiled, "So, do you still think Tang San is a good person now?"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xiao Wu's heart trembled. Is Tang San a good person?
Recalling the past bits and pieces, her love for Tang San had begun to waver.
Even if she truly didn't know about Tang San's actions, what Tang San did were indeed facts.
The importance of auspicious beasts to the Spirit Beast race was self-evident, and Tang San was severing the roots of the Spirit Beast race.
Besides that, she felt incredibly pained for Tang Wutong. Tang San splitting Tang Wutong's soul in half, what a painful thing that was.
As a father, how could Tang San bring himself to do that, and even lock up his own daughter? Tang San was utterly unworthy of being a father!
Xiao Wu's expression gradually changed from confusion to hatred. Perhaps because she was reborn, or perhaps because of Lin Chen's words, her mind suddenly became "smarter"!
"Tang San!" Xiao Wu said through gritted teeth.
"Tsk tsk..." Lin Chen teased, "Through your memories, your identity as a Spirit Beast was actually exposed the moment you entered Nuoding Academy!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu looked at Lin Chen, puzzled. She didn't understand why Lin Chen would say that!
Lin Chen said with a smile, "Think carefully, who is Tang San's father?"
Xiao Wu was stunned. Lin Chen's words made her realize.
"Tang San, innate full spirit power, twin spirits. With such talent, how could Tang Hao possibly ignore him? I'm afraid your Spirit Bone and spirit ring would have long become Tang Hao's possessions. You should know that when you first met Tang San, you had no feelings for him at all!" Lin Chen said faintly.
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Xiao Wu's face showed a bitter smile. Yes, Lin Chen was right, she was so foolish!
Tang Hao would certainly have been secretly protecting Tang San's talent, which meant Tang Hao had long discovered her identity as a transformed Spirit Beast.
