When the time came, Jack took Tang San to Notting City. Tang Qingyi watched him leave and returned home to continue doing housework.

Tang Hao sat silently in front of the iron stove. The fire burned his face red and his slightly bent back exuded a sense of loneliness.

Tang Qingyi looked at him, pursed her lips, and finally spoke.

"Father, you haven't had breakfast yet. Let me heat it up for you."

Tang Hao then raised his eyes to look at her, "Why did you choose to let Xiao San go to school? Go and use your martial spirit. Blue Silver Grass is a well-known useless martial spirit, isn't it?"

Seeing that he did not respond directly, Tang Qingyi took the food over to heat it up, while also answering him.

"You also know that I was outside that day, right, father?"

Tang Qingyi turned her back, and Tang Hao couldn't see the expression on her face. It was a cold and numb face, with no expression and no anger.

"Xiao San's talent is indeed stronger than mine, there's nothing to complain about. But."

Tang Qingyi put down the bowl. The fire in the kitchen was still burning, making her eyes shine. Tang Qingyi's voice was firm and resolute.

"I will never give up on becoming a soul master. I know the feeling of being weak better than anyone else. Only the strong have the right to choose. I want to become stronger. I will never be willing to just stay in this small village and live a sloppy life."

The blood and tears of the past will always remain in her heart, but she can't go back, can't go back to that damn world, can't go back to the eldest lady who was loved and protected by her father. She can only move forward.

Tang Qingyi's words pierced Tang Hao's heart. Her childish voice seemed to mock his retreat over the years. For the first time, Tang Hao looked squarely at this adopted daughter who was not close to him.

Firm and bright blue-gray eyes, dark and dry aqua-blue hair due to malnutrition, and a thin but strong body.

A surge of anger suddenly surged in Tang Hao's heart, and his chest ached from the surging emotions. He stood up, and a hint of coercion emanated from his body.

"What do you know! Have you experienced the hardships of practicing? Have you encountered an ambush by the enemy? Have you experienced the jealousy and frame-up of others? You are right, only the strong have choices! In this world where the strong are respected, how sure are you that you will not die on the road? Do you have the courage to endure those injustices?"

Tang Qingyi's face turned pale due to the pressure from him. As he pressed her step by step, Tang Qingyi couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, but she managed not to fall to the ground.

Tang Hao saw her in such a mess, and a trace of guilt flashed across his eyes. He was really old, what could a child understand.

After he took back the pressure, Tang Qingyi managed to get up. She still said with a firm look in her eyes, "At least I won't regret trying."

Tang Hao seemed to see his reckless, young and frivolous self in her figure. It was amazing that a child could achieve this, so why should he make it more difficult?

Tang Hao sighed and helped Tang Qingyi's shaky body sit down. "I can help you get your first spirit ring and make you a spirit master, or I can send you to a town with a spirit hall. But you have to promise me two things."

When Tang Qingyi heard this, she looked at him with burning eyes and a hint of caution on her face.

Tang Hao shook his head and continued. "You have always called me father. It seems that you have always known that you are not my biological child." After saying that, Tang Hao smiled bitterly. "I am indeed not a qualified father, and I do not intend to help you practice."

Tang Qingyi was stunned after hearing this and didn't say anything.

"I don't need to hurt you. The future belongs to you. I just hope that no matter what happens, you don't kill the mistress."

Tang Qingyi frowned, "Xiao San is my brother, he is different from you, I am sincere."

What an extremely ironic statement. Unlike yours, is it saying that he is not sincere to his son, or that she is not sincere to herself?

Tang Hao wasn't curious about the answer, but he couldn't help feeling a little desolate inside.

"Another request. No matter what happens, it's not worth sacrificing your life. You know how your mother was... right?"

Regret, pain, nostalgia... Tang Qingyi might never forget Tang Hao's expression.

Tang Qingyi knew that these were the sincere words and advice from Tang Hao as a "father", and also the best advice at the moment.

"it is good."

After hearing the reply, Tang Hao stopped talking. He just quietly took his meal and ate it in an orderly manner.

By the time Tang Qingyi recovered, another seven days had passed.

Tang Hao packed his luggage and took Tang Qingyi to the Star Forest full of soul beasts. Tang Qingyi knew that this was her last day in this house, so she left a letter on Tang San's bed.

The journey to the Star Dou Forest was not easy. Tang Hao seemed to be hiding his whereabouts. They had to sleep in the open air and eat all the way, which made Tang Qingyi suffer a lot.

Until today, Tang Qingyi had not had a proper meal. Finally, before reaching the entrance of Xingdou Forest, Tang Hao spent a rare amount of money to buy Tang Qingyi a bowl of wontons and a few meat buns, so that she could replenish her energy before entering.

In Tang Qingyi's eyes, this was undoubtedly her last meal.

Tang Qingyi knew that Tang Hao had a secret, but she didn't expect that Tang Hao could come and go freely in the Star Dou Forest. He even bypassed the guards at the entrance of the Star Dou Forest as if it was a game.

After entering the forest, Tang Qingyi finally couldn't help but ask.

"What is our purpose here?"

Tang Hao looked back at her and answered her patiently.

"To become a soul master, you need to meet two conditions: soul power and soul rings. Soul power reaches a bottleneck every ten levels, and you need to obtain soul rings to break through. Soul rings will give soul masters soul skills. Within the limit of the body's tolerance, the older the soul ring, the more powerful the soul skills will be."

Tang Qingyi nodded and followed Tang Hao's footsteps without stopping. "I have full innate soul power, and my soul power is already level ten, so I need to obtain a soul ring."

"If you want to obtain a spirit ring, you must hunt a spirit beast. Give the spirit beast a final blow, and the spirit ring will be yours. The lifespan of the first spirit ring is about three hundred years. I will help you."

Tang Qingyi knew what Tang Hao hadn’t finished saying, and she had to obtain the remaining spirit rings by herself.

"arrive."

This is, the Clear Water Lake!

Tang Hao patted Tang Qingyi on the shoulder, reminding her to be on guard. This was where Tang Hao had picked up Tang Qingyi, and this was also where he had chosen the first spirit ring for her.

"The Green Water Lake is the main habitat of the Green Armored Crocodile. The Green Armored Crocodile has steel skin, iron bones and sharp teeth. The point is, it has water-related skills just like your martial spirit, which is very suitable for you."

Tang Qingyi believed in Tang Hao's judgment. When she first met Tang Hao, she had a feeling that Tang Hao was definitely not an ordinary person. His aura and his unintentional contempt for the Spirit Hall showed that he was not simple.
