After a difficult delivery, the midwife came out of the room holding two children.
Looking at the two babies in her arms, Yu Luomian and Yu Yuanzhen both showed faint smiles.
Around a year ago, they had begun searching within the sect for women of the right age who were willing to give themselves to this plan, all to pass down the precious golden bloodline inside Yu Xiaogang.
They spent a lot of effort and paid a heavy price before finally convincing one of them.
And because Yu Xiaogang was too old, badly injured, and trapped in such a harsh environment, he had even developed problems with impotence. In the end, they had to use ten-thousand-year whale rubber as medicine to stimulate him before he regained the ability to have children.
After several months, the female Spirit Master finally became pregnant. Ten months later, she gave birth to these twins.
Yu Yuanzhen took the twins into his arms and closed his eyes, carefully sensing something.
But after only a moment, the smile on his face froze.
What replaced it was panic and disbelief.
"Big Brother, what's wrong?"
Yu Luomian's heart suddenly jumped. A bad feeling rose inside him.
"There's no feeling. None at all."
"Even though many years have passed, I still remember how it felt when Xiaogang was just born and I held him in my arms."
"These two children don't have that feeling…"
"Big Brother, could you be mistaken?"
"No. Impossible."
"Back then, I wasn't even a Titled Douluo yet, but I could still sense it. Now, with my current cultivation, I should only sense it more clearly. And…"
Yu Yuanzhen stopped halfway through his words.
Looking at the two grandsons in his arms, he could only let out a long sigh.
"Forget it. Maybe I really sensed it wrong."
"Bathe these two children first. Maybe it's only because they were just born, and the golden bloodline inside them hasn't grown yet…"
No matter what, they were still his grandsons.
Although Yu Yuanzhen had aimed for the golden bloodline from the start, he still could not kill the two children just because they had not shown it.
He could only comfort himself.
Maybe the bloodline had thinned after one generation.
Maybe the children were still too young.
Other than that, what else could he say?
Still, in his heart, Yu Yuanzhen silently added another mark against Yu Xiaogang.
Useless at everything, first place at eating.
He was told to pass down his bloodline, yet he could not even do that properly. The golden bloodline in his body had not been passed down at all.
Aside from causing trouble for the clan, creating problems, and wasting resources, Yu Xiaogang had never done a single good thing all these years.
If Yu Yuanzhen had known Yu Xiaogang would turn out like this, he would have rather shot him onto the wall back then.
...
A few days later, Yu Xiaogang, who had already lost his last bit of value, was brought out of the prison.
The harsh sunlight made it impossible for him to see anything clearly.
Only after a long while did he finally get used to the world outside the dungeon.
Just as Yu Xiaogang himself had once suggested, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian wanted him to use Tang San as bait to draw out Tang Hao.
Then the experts of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan would surround and kill Tang Hao, making the top-quality Spirit Bones on his body drop.
If this had been before, and he had a chance to survive by selling out Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang would have sold out both Tang San and Tang Hao without hesitation.
But for some reason, ever since a few days ago, Yu Xiaogang felt endless fighting spirit burning inside him.
His body was still in pain, but deep in his heart, it was as if some hidden fate had been given to him.
Under this fighting spirit that came from nowhere, Yu Xiaogang gained three new thoughts.
He did not want to betray Tang Hao.
Instead, he wanted to use Tang Hao and have him take both him and Tang San away from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan.
As long as they left the clan, then with his teaching ability, he would surely be able to train Tang San into a powerful Titled Douluo.
When that time came, he would wash away the injustice of being called useless.
This inexplicable fighting spirit not only gave Yu Xiaogang greater dreams, but also made him, who had already accepted that he was trash, swell with confidence once again.
He once more greatly overestimated his own teaching ability.
It was hard to say whether this was good or bad.
After all, in the original story, Yu Xiaogang could still rely on the knowledge he had accumulated through his background and be somewhat useful. But now, his teaching ability was clearly below the continent's average.
That night, Yu Xiaogang—missing his right hand and left leg—stumbled into Tang San's room with wooden prosthetics.
Before he could even speak, a cold flash suddenly shot toward him.
It nearly pierced through his eyes and entered his brain.
Yu Xiaogang was so frightened that he collapsed onto the floor.
The words he had prepared were instantly thrown out of his mind. He stammered badly.
"L-L-L-Little… Little San! I-It's me. I'm your teacher… tea-teacher!"
If his stomach had anything inside it, Yu Xiaogang would have started leaking right then.
Back then, Yu Yuanzhen had shattered Yu Xiaogang's jaw with one kick.
Even though a healing-system Spirit Master had repaired the bones, Yu Xiaogang was left with a permanent stutter.
And being forced to leave descendants had also caused lasting damage to his kidneys.
His voice was so strange it barely sounded human.
Tang San stayed silent for a long time before finally understanding what the person in front of him was saying.
He was silent for even longer.
He was seriously thinking about whether he should pretend he had not recognized Yu Xiaogang and kill him with a sleeve arrow right now.
But after thinking it over, Tang San gave up on that bold idea.
If this had been a year ago, Tang San might really have taken this chance to kill Yu Xiaogang.
But during this past year, Yu Xiaogang's absence had slightly improved Tang San's opinion of him.
As a firm feudal warrior, Tang San still cared a lot about feudal rules.
"Teacher, what happened to you?"
Tang San helped Yu Xiaogang up and sat him on the bed, then asked,
"They all said you offended Chen Ming, so the sect master drove you out of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan."
"I…"
Yu Xiaogang thought for a moment.
In the end, he did not explain his own situation yet. Instead, he lowered his voice and spoke to Tang San.
"Little San, your identity has been exposed. Some people in the clan want to capture you and hand you over to Spirit Hall in exchange for Spirit Hall's favor."
"I came back this time to tell you to run quickly."
"Only with your father Tang Hao's power can we leave this place."
"Teacher, what do you mean my identity has been exposed?"
"And what do you mean I need my father's power to leave?"
"What exactly is going on?"
