"Huff..."
"Connected! Finally connected!"
On the other side, Tang Wutong revealed an expression of joy, having sensed that she had entered the space where the Golden Dragon Spear resided.
"We're connected!"
Hearing this, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Dai Yuhao beside her were overjoyed.
"How is Linlin? How is Wu Lin?" Xiao Wu's ears perked up as she couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"Xiao Wu, don't rush..." Tang San beside her took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, yet still unable to contain himself as he spoke.
His son! They had finally found traces of their son again!
As he spoke, he also increased his efforts, channeling his God Power into Tang Wutong. Gradually, everything seen by that wisp of Divine Sense appeared before their eyes.
It was an exceptionally handsome youth, appearing around thirteen or fourteen years old, standing at 1.77 meters tall with a robust build.
His large eyes were lively like a girl's, with a heroic air between his brows—what a beautiful young man!
"My Linlin!"
"This is my Linlin..."
Looking at the scene before her, Xiao Wu instantly recognized his identity. As she spoke, her weakened state combined with excitement caused her to suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Wutong, quickly communicate with him!"
"Tell him about our situation."
At this moment, Tang San had no time to pay attention to his scabbard—no, his scabbard-wielding wife—as he stared intently at the image before them, urgently speaking.
"Yes, Father!"
Tang Wutong obediently responded, then took a deep breath, focusing her consciousness back into Tang Wulin's mental space.
"You..."
"Who are you?"
In his consciousness, Tang Wulin looked at the blurry yet discernibly female figure before him and couldn't help but ask, his eyes calmly observing.
Who was this now?
He vaguely remembered a black-clad man who had once appeared in his consciousness calling himself Old Tang. Was this person...
Similar to that one?
Last time it was a man, this time a woman?
Though it must be said, that previous one was clearly not a good person—his intentions were too obvious. But this person... he couldn't quite figure out yet.
"Wu Lin, I'm your sister," Tang Wutong nearly burst into tears as she replied.
"Sister..."
Tang Wulin fell silent, quietly taking a step back.
Great, last time someone claimed to be his father, today someone claims to be his sister. Next time, would it be a brother-in-law and mother?
How utterly unoriginal!
"Wu Lin, you..."
Watching this scene, the divine realm group was momentarily stunned, with Tang Wutong completely dumbfounded.
Was that step back serious?
Am I really that terrifying as your sister?
"What's wrong with Wu Lin?" Tang San couldn't help but frown beside them.
Previously, when the Divine Sense on Tang Wulin had dissipated, it hadn't returned to his main body. Naturally, he didn't know how his beloved son had already become so... filially virtuous.
"It's probably..."
"Because it's their first meeting. After all, he was born and raised on the Douluo Continent. There's still plenty of time—we just need to influence him with love... It'll be fine."
Dai Yuhao rationally analyzed, speaking slowly.
"Yes, yes..."
Xiao Wu also replied weakly.
"Since you claim to be my sister, then let me ask you—do you know my brother's name?"
At that moment, the voice from the other side of the scene spoke again.
Tang Wulin's expression remained calm, showing no particular emotion as he slightly parted his lips and asked a question.
"Brother?"
Hearing this, Tang Wutong on the other side visibly froze for a moment, a huge question mark forming in her mind.
Wu Lin has a brother?
What kind of nonsense is that?!
And it wasn't just Tang Wutong—even Xiao Wu and Dai Yuhao beside her turned their gazes toward Tang San, only to see an equally bewildered expression on his face.
Wu Lin…
Since when did he have a brother?
"Wu Lin, stop joking around. You're my only younger brother—there's no brother."
Tang Wutong quickly snapped out of her daze and said with a laugh.
See, her little brother was so humorous.
"..."
"You won't even bother lying to me."
Tang Wulin merely sneered in response.
She didn't even know his brother's name, yet she claimed to be his sister and insisted he had no brother…
Pah! By her logic, did that mean he was some stray child picked up by his parents?
At this thought, Tang Wulin clenched his fists even tighter. If the other side kept spouting nonsense, then don't blame him if…
His Top-Grade Forging Hammer wasn't hard enough!
"My name is Tang Wulin, that's correct. But I only have one brother—no sister."
"Do you have anything else to say?"
Tang Wulin's voice was icy. At this point, he had no desire to continue the conversation. The only reason he kept asking was to see what else the other party had to say.
"I really am your sister!"
"Wu Lin, Wu Lin…"
Tang Wutong frowned. Brother? What brother?!
As she thought this, she couldn't help but glance helplessly at her father, her expression lost.
"He says he has no sister! He refuses to acknowledge me as his sister! Third Brother, what do we do? Third Brother, say something!"
"Third Brother, hurry up and speak!"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu beside Tang San became even more flustered, unable to stop herself from urging, "Husband, say something!"
"..."
Beside her, Tang San's face also paled slightly, but he shook his head, signaling that there was no need to worry too much.
This was within his expectations. After all, Wu Lin had grown up away from the family—it was only natural he wouldn't recognize them in this situation.
"Wutong, let me take over."
After a moment of careful consideration, Tang San spoke.
Now, it was finally time for this old father to step forward!
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Tang Wutong immediately complied. In the next instant, the woman in Tang Wulin's consciousness vanished.
In her place appeared a more defined figure—a tall, slender man with blue hair, though his face remained indistinct.
"..."
"You switched people? And who might you be?"
A trace of contemplation crossed Tang Wulin's face, his eyes filled with curiosity. They actually changed speakers mid-conversation.
"Child."
"Your name is Tang Wulin, isn't it?"
Tang San said with a warm smile. As a father, his tone was gentle.
"Mhm."
"And how should I address you? Who are you?"
Tang Wulin's response was cold, his tone indifferent.
"Who am I..."
"Child, do you know of the Tang Sect?"
Tang San smiled and shook his head. Considering Tang Wutong's earlier failure to gain favor, he decided to approach from a different angle.
First, let the other party know who he was, then reveal his identity—perfect!
Wu Lin was already grown up now and must have joined Shrek Academy. Soon, he'd make sure the boy understood just how incredible his real father was!
"Oh?"
"So you're some big shot from the Tang Sect."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin replied coldly, neither pleased nor upset, showing little interest. The Tang Sect?
Sorry, but he was with the Spirit Transfer Pagoda.
Though he hadn't accomplished much there in recent years, he still remembered all the help the Pagoda had given him and his family back in the day.
The Tang Sect? Never heard of it.
"Hahaha, indeed..."
Tang San nodded with a smile. As expected—being a trueborn member of the Tang family, Wu Lin would naturally be interested when the Tang Sect was mentioned!
"And so?"
"Get to the point..."
Tang Wulin's face was full of exasperation. So what if he was from the Tang Sect? Did this guy really think his words carried any weight?
Calling him "child" over and over...
When Tree Elder addressed him like that, it was because Tree Elder was an elder, a senior figure. But who the hell was this guy in front of him?
And that voice—why did it sound...
So damn familiar!
"Well..."
"I'm your father. My name is Tang—"
On the other side, seeing his seemingly impatient son, Tang San quickly waved his hand and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Good, good, very good!"
"No wonder the voice sounded so familiar—so it's you, the shameless bastard! You just won't quit, will you?"
Before he could finish, Tang Wulin had heard enough. The Golden Dragon Claw activated instantly, his face twisted in fury.
No wonder it was so familiar—wasn't this that same shameless Old Tang from before? And now he had the nerve to show up again?
As he spoke, a Top-Grade Forging Hammer materialized in his hand, and in the next instant, he hurled it straight at Tang San.
Flying Hammer Meteor!
"Child!"
"What are you doing?!"
Staring at the scene before him, Tang San's face was full of shock, utterly bewildered as he muttered under his breath.
What are you doing?!
What are you doing, son?!
"What am I doing?"
"Beating the living daylights out of a shameless bastard like you!"
Tang Wulin said coldly.
You're my father?
Well, I'm your damn grandfather!
Today, he'd teach this disgraceful scoundrel a lesson on behalf of his elders!
