Chapter 181 Xiao Wu Apologizes! I misunderstood you all before!
And at this moment...
The oppressive atmosphere inside the God Realm Temple eased slightly due to Tang San's gentle guidance.
As Xiao Wu listened to Tang San's explanation, which was tinged with grievance and comfort, and looked at Niu Tian's "for your own good" elder's posture in the sky, her originally cold eyes gradually revealed a complex expression.
So in the end...
After Tang San's constant verbal persuasion and the logically consistent explanations from White World Titan and Niu Tian, Xiao Wu finally accepted their explanation.
She did think that Titan and Niu Tian's approach was a bit excessive, and that such a life-risking test seemed extreme and illogical.
But as Tang San just emphasized, this can only be explained as Titan and Niu Tian's deep and clumsy love for Xiao Qi.
Xiao Wu mentally rehearsed the scenario repeatedly:
If it weren't to safeguard their daughter's future, why would Titan and Niu Tian go to the trouble of fabricating such a lie?
Doing such a thankless and arduous task offers them absolutely no real benefit.
therefore...
This closed logical loop gave Xiao Wu a misconception:
Everyone can blame Titan and Niu Tian for their harshness, but she, as their mother, cannot.
In her mind, these two brothers, who had been by her side for thousands of years, were truly conducting the most thorough screening for her daughter's future happiness.
"Yes... Third Brother, you're right." Xiao Wu sighed deeply, turned to look at Tang San, her eyes filled with deep apology.
"I was too impulsive before. I shouldn't have questioned you like that."
"We shouldn't distrust Da Ming and Er Ming either."
At that moment, Xiao Wu suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.
She felt she had become too suspicious. Tang San was her husband, and Titan and Niu Tian were her brothers who had shared life and death with her. These were the most important and trustworthy people in her life. How could she doubt their sincerity because of some scenes in Bai Shijie?
With this sense of guilt, Xiao Wu contacted Titan and Niu Tian, who were at the Haotian Sect, again through the God Realm Channel.
Soon, Xiao Wu's image reappeared within the Haotian Sect.
Upon seeing Xiao Wu's image reappear, Titan and Niu Tian immediately stood up from their seats and looked towards Xiao Wu's image.
"Sister Xiaowu, what brings you here again?"
"Daming, Erming, I'm sorry about what happened before." Xiaowu's voice was low and sincere.
"I misunderstood you. I shouldn't have spoken to you in that tone."
Upon hearing these words, Titan and Niu Tian inside Haotian Fortress replied in trepidation, "Sister Xiaowu, please don't say that. You don't need to. There's no need for us to apologize to each other. As long as you understand our good intentions, that's enough."
"It's good that you know my feelings." Xiao Wu gave a few more instructions, and then quickly severed the connection with her consciousness.
...
However, Xiao Wu from the divine realm felt a sense of relief after severing the connection, but Black Titan and Black Bull Heaven in the lower realm felt no joy at surviving a calamity.
In the shadows of the main hall, the two ancient beings stared at each other, cold sweat still seeping from their foreheads.
They knew all too well that the truth would eventually come out.
The explanation I just gave temporarily fooled Xiao Wu with the excuse of "elderly concern," but that was because the plot of the White World just happened to be stuck at that logical point.
As long as that damned screen continues to play, Tang San's deeper conspiracies and schemes, and the truths involving the fate of the gods and the manipulation of souls, will be exposed sooner or later.
The fact that it hasn't been exposed yet is simply due to good luck, or perhaps the logic of the white world is still unfolding.
But they don't think they can stay lucky forever.
"Brother, this can't go on." Titan's voice trembled. "The more Sister Xiaowu trusts us now, the more terrifying her anger will be when the truth comes out. How will we brothers handle that then?"
Niu Tian remained silent, staring intently at the sky.
He wasn't excited or relieved by Xiao Wu's apology; instead, he became even more worried.
In this trial dominated by the White Order, every lie they tell sows a seed for future destruction.
Niu Tian finally couldn't help but sigh.
"I don't know either..."
"well..."
"We can only continue to take it one step at a time."
"It's all Tang San's fault..."
...
[In the aerial view, the atmosphere at Shrek Academy remains heavy.]
After listening to Niu Tian's earnest explanation, Bai Wang Dong'er's expression wavered slightly.
She pursed her lips and finally whispered into the communication device, "I'm sorry, First Father, Second Father. I was too hasty before and misunderstood you."
[Niu Tian's voice on the other end of the communicator returned to normal, calmly indicating that everything was alright.]
Then, his tone abruptly changed, his voice becoming serious and highly penetrating as he addressed Huo Yuhao, who was standing beside Dong'er.
"Huo Yuhao, although I already said that I shouldn't have told you these things..."
"But now that you know what happened through Dong'er, I won't hide it from you anymore."
"I can tell you definitively that the Sunset Forest area is extremely dangerous."
"Not only is there poisonous miasma there, but also countless powerful plant-type soul beasts. With your current overall abilities, if you go alone, you're very likely to perish there."
"But our stance has been clear from the very beginning."
"Dong'er is our only daughter; we've spoiled her like a little princess since she was little."
"If you want to date her now, and even marry her in the future, then you must prove your ability, your feelings, and most importantly, your sincerity to us!"
[Across the sky, Niu Tian's tone turned cold and resolute, carrying an unquestionable, domineering logic: "Go, go to Sunset Forest and retrieve the Acacia Heartbreak Red. If you die on the way, it only proves that you are utterly incapable of protecting Dong'er in the future. If you can't even overcome this small hurdle, you are not worthy of marrying her."]
"As for that Acacia mangium, if your love for Dong'er isn't pure enough, even if you see it, you won't be able to bring it back."
"So, this test will examine both your abilities and your character. Do you dare to accept it?"
"Like I said before, we won't force you. But if you want to marry Dong'er and be with him, you have to get past this hurdle. If you can't, even if Dong'er likes you, we won't approve of your relationship."
