“Someone is looking for me?” Tang Wulin felt uncertain.

“Yes! It’s a middle-aged man. He appears to be in his forties. He’s not that good looking,” answered Yang Nianxia.

“Thank you. I shall go take a look then. Where is this man?” asked Tang Wulin.

“He was taken to the meeting room. However, the man is a little strange. I can’t tell the depth of his cultivation base,” Yang replied Nianxia softly.

“Hmm?” Yang Nianxia was incapable of discerning the man’s cultivation base, despite the fact that Yang Nianxia was almost a Soul Douluo. That meant this man’s cultivation base was high, and he could possibly be a Title Douluo-ranked powerhouse. ‘A Title Douluo-ranked stranger is here to see me?’

They were in Shrek Academy after all, so there was nothing much to be worried about. Tang Wulin dismissed Yang Nianxia and walked over to the main academic building’s meeting room on his own.

When he entered the meeting room, he could not help being stunned as soon as he saw the man. He had never expected that the person that came looking for him would be this man.

“Your Excellency Qilin? Why are you here?”

There was more to this man seated in the meeting room than just his hideous appearance. There were many densely arranged scales on his face. The multicolored scales made him appear extremely savage. Yang Nianxia’s description of him earlier could be considered rather courteous. He could already sense Tang Wulin’s presence even before he walked into the room. He stood up and faced Tang Wulin.

“I had no choice but to come! I’m here to inquire about something from you.”

The person was the Qilin Douluo Tong Yu, a man with a tragic background. They had met during the Battle of Five Gods in the Star Luo Empire some time ago. He had fought a great battle against Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin had never expected that he would see the Qilin Douluo here after parting ways in the Star Luo Continent back then.

Tong Yu appeared to be rather lethargic. It was apparent that this was not his usual state given his Limit Douluo-ranked cultivation base.

“Please take a seat. Feel free to ask away.” Tang Wulin hastily invited Tong Yu to take a seat while he took sat opposite him. He was feeling very curious as to why Tong Yu was here.

Tong Yu was a Limit Douluo with a sad history. He once condensed all of his cultivation base into a Five Elements Qilin Pearl. He wanted to give it to the descendant of his murder victim to atone for a mistake he made in the past. He was later stopped by Tang Wulin, and as a result, he survived the ordeal. Tang Wulin figured that he was here in the Douluo Continent searching for the descendant of his past lover.

These ideas emerged in Tang Wulin’s mind one by one.

“Is your father’s name Tang Ziran?” Tong Yu’s first sentence had stunned Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin’s first reaction was to sit upright instantaneously with a vigilant look in his eyes. “Your Excellency Qilin, why are you asking about this?”

Tong Yu smiled bitterly. “Don’t be nervous. I’m just asking you if your father’s name is Tang Ziran.”

Tang Wulin frowned ever so slightly. “That’s right. That’s his name precisely.”

Tong Yu suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead strenuously. His eyes filled with tears at once. “The god of destiny makes fools of people. The god of destiny is truly making fools of people!”

Tang Wulin was even more confused. However, he could not help coming up with some guesses as he looked at Tong Yu’s expression. His eyes widened in realisation. “That can’t be right, Your Excellency Qilin. You are…”

There was a complicated look to Tong Yu’s eyes as he stared at Tang Wulin. “That’s right. Your father is the person I’m looking for.”

“Huh?” Tang Wulin stood up abruptly with his eyes filled with disbelief. He looked at Tong Yu blankly. He found that he had been rendered speechless.

His father was the person Tong Yu was looking for? What did this mean? This meant that his grandmother was Tong Yu’s lover in the past and also the main character in his tragedy.

His mind recalled all sorts of memories he had when he was young. Yes! His father had never mentioned anything about his grandfather and grandmother. He did not remember having any relatives in the past.

It was easy to explain his mother’s side because Tang Wulin knew that his mother was an orphan. Thus, it was normal for her not to have any relatives. On the other hand, he remembered asking his father if he had a grandmother once. His father had always responded with an extremely unpleasant expression. Eventually, he dared not ask anymore.

Tang Wulin was at a complete loss as he looked at Tong Yu. If Tong Yu was right, it would mean that the Tong Yu before him was the enemy that killed his grandmother! This was a deep-seated hatred.

Nevertheless, he recalled the words Tong Yu had said subconsciously in the Star Luo Empire. Who could be blamed for this tragedy? Who was the real culprit behind it all? Was it Tong Yu? Was it his grandmother that he had never met before? Or was it… destiny?

All at once, they gazed at one another but had nothing to say.

After a long while, Tong Yue heaved a sigh. He took it upon himself to speak first, “Tang Sect Master, I don’t mean to make things difficult for you. I’ve been searching all this time, so you should know that I intend to solve this issue as well. When I first came to the Douluo Continent, I was in the dark without a single clue. Afterward, with much effort, I began to find some information little by a little. I started searching for people that were tied to the past. I finally found some useful information by following the clues after such a long time. That information led me all the way to the academy that you attended before.”

“I visited your home and encountered a blacksmith there. I learned about your name after asking him.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin got anxious. “You didn’t hurt him, did you?”

Tong Yu hastily said, “No, of course not. However, I didn’t tell him the truth either. I only said that I was an elder of Tang Ziran’s, and I came looking for him after not hearing from him for a long time. The blacksmith told me that Tang Ziran and his wife had already vanished long ago, but you are still in Shrek Academy. In fact, you had even become the Tang Sect’s Sect Master. I can tell that he’s very proud of you.”

Tang Wulin took a deep breath. “He is my teacher.”

Tong Yu heaved a sigh. “You know about my story. This is truly a case of the god of destiny making fools of us! I really didn’t expect that my choice to remove the Five Elements Qilin Pearl from my body was right. I should have passed it to you back then, and my mission would have been accomplished. I only have one wish now. I beg of you to let me see Tang Ziran for a moment. I want to repent before him and let him think of how to punish me. This is all I desire.”

Tang Wulin was in a daze as he looked at Tong Yu.

The Qilin Douluo before him was clearly more at ease after Tang Wulin acknowledged that his father was Tang Ziran. His entire person seemed to have relaxed, but Tang Wulin found it to be an unpleasant sensation.

Perhaps it was due to Tang Wulin being prejudiced by his first impression. He had felt slightly sympathetic to Tong Yu when they first met. After just learning that Tong Yu was involved in the incident, he found that his hatred was not as intense as he had imagined.

“My father has already…already passed away…” Tang Wulin said instinctively. He was aware that his adopted father, Tang Ziran, could possibly be resurrected by his birth father in another world. Even so, it was impossible for him to ask his father to come to them!

Tong Yu was stunned. He could not help saying, “Why has he passed away? Could I have been the cause?”

Tang Wulin said, “My father’s death, at least, is not related to you. Think about it, I’ve already grown up. If it was because of the incident back in the past, how could I have been born? My father and mother died at the hands of one of the Holy Spirit Cult’s four great heavenly kings, Darkness Blood Demon.”

The words left Tong Yue completely stunned, and he paled instantly. He had been searching painstakingly for such a long time, yet he did not expect that this would be his answer. He muttered to himself absentmindedly, “Why is he dead? Why is he dead? I didn’t even have a chance to atone! Why? Why must Heaven treat me like this? Even when I want to die, why don’t you let me die with honor? The mistake I made, could it be that I don’t even have a chance to atone for my crime?”

Tang Wulin was speechless. He found that he had no idea how to face this man before him. It was easy for him to judge if Tong Yue had committed these most heinous crimes. He would risk his life to seek revenge for the grandmother that he had never met. That being the case, who was right and who was wrong in the tragedy of Tong Yu and his grandmother?

Moreover, the Qilin Douluo before his eyes was still determined to seek his doom. In fact, with a single word from Tang Wulin, the Qilin Douluo would give up his life. This left Tang Wulin at a loss as to how to handle the situation.
