Chapter 153 "Returning to Hometown in Full Clothes"

I couldn't help but worry whether coming here was a good choice.

On the plaque outlined in gold lacquer were recognizable words.

The three words "Shenghuang Village" are written on it.

It must have been written by Chu Zhao himself.

"Go home? Are you really from our village? When did my village have a young man as handsome as you..."

Old Jack is still the village chief and said he can still do this for another 20 years. He is familiar with everyone in the village and could not identify the person in front of him.

"Whose child are you from? Why haven't I seen you before? If you don't tell me clearly, you can't go in."

Old Jack, who is old but still shrewd, began to doubt Tang San, who looked a little strange.

When he said this, many young and strong men quietly gathered around him.

Tang San actually felt the fluctuation of soul power in them.

More than ten years ago, there was not a single soul master in this village, but now there are quite a few soul masters?

I haven't been back for more than eleven years, and the village has changed a lot.

Soon, something even more surprising happened to Tang San. He saw some familiar faces among these spirit masters with spirit power. When he left the village more than a decade ago, these people still had no spirit power and were destined to have no way to practice.

How come I have soul power now?

"Young man, where are you from? I'm talking to you, do you hear me? Recently, many people want to pretend to be from Shenghuang Village. But they don't think about it. There are only so many people in our village. How could we not remember them and be impersonated by others?"

A man who seemed to be the leader of the younger generation shouted at Tang San.

Tang San regretted it now and wanted to leave, but he was surrounded.

So he made up his mind and refused to reveal his identity. He thought that these people would not kill people for no reason, otherwise it would be a loss of face for Chu Zhao, the God King.

But his identity was not as well hidden as he imagined.

"Isn't he Tang San?"

Suddenly, a sharp-eyed young man pointed at Tang San's waist and said in surprise.

"I know this belt. When Tang San returned to the village 11 years ago, he had this belt. He also said at the time that this belt was a unique storage soul guide that only soul masters could use. I have been envious of it for a long time."

Tang San's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that someone could recognize his identity.

He has completely changed now!

Who would have thought that I would be defeated by this belt on Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlit Night.

It is surprising that some people can still remember a sentence said 11 years ago. They can also still remember something that they only encountered once. Their memory is really amazing.

"Now that you mention it, I remember that this belt is indeed Xiao San's."

"Are you a mistress? You're back, kid, why aren't you talking? I've still kept your house for you!"

Old Jack's reaction was beyond Tang San's expectations.

Tang San didn't expect that Old Jack would speak to him in such an intimate tone.

"You are returning home in glory. Do you want to come and see us, the folks?"

Old Jack has seen many soul masters now, so when he sees a soul master, he no longer has that awe-inspiring and humble attitude, and can now face most soul masters equally.

So when he looked at Tang San, who was most likely a high-level spirit master, his attitude was only intimate.

All of this surprised Tang San.

Tang San was surprised and didn't say anything. Seeing him like this, the others were somewhat dissatisfied because they thought Tang San was too disdainful to talk to them.

"Village Chief, I'm afraid that Tang San has made some name for himself outside and doesn't want to deal with old acquaintances like us from this remote village!"

"His father Tang Hao was very arrogant before. He always acted like the eldest and he was the third oldest. Like father, like son."

"Become a soul master and forget your origin."

If Tang San had heard such words before, he would have been so angry that he would have taken action.

But now he no longer has the strength to take action because there are too many people here.

The only things he could use were his hidden weapons.

It has been exposed, there is no need to hide the identity any more. Tang San nodded.

"It's me, I'm Tang San, I'm back, Grandpa Jack."

But he didn't have the nerve to deny what old Jack said, "returning home in glory."

How can this be considered a glorious return?

He thought that this was a desperate situation.

"It's really you. It's only been 11 years. How come you've changed so much? Men change a lot when they grow up. You've become so handsome!"

Old Jack praised Tang San loyally.

"Why did you come back alone? Where's your dad? Did that guy Tang Hao abandon you again?"

Tang San didn't say anything before, so Old Jack started talking to himself.

"He's not fit to be a father!"

"But your father's name is quite coincidental. I heard there is a Titled Douluo named Tang Hao. He wanted to kill the Holy Emperor before, but was killed by him."

"Your father should have the same name as him. That guy Tang Hao can never be a Titled Douluo."

Tang San still did not answer, which was considered as his tacit agreement with Old Jack's words.

He needed a place where he could temporarily draw strength and restore his strength.

"He has been away for 11 years and hasn't come back! Little Chu is still good, and the Holy Emperor is still good. He comes back to see the old man once every year or so, for fear that the old man will pass away at any time, and she doesn't know."

"It's also thanks to her that she always brings back a lot of things. Thanks to those things, I can have such a strong body and run several kilometers in one breath..."

Old Jack kept talking to Tang San about Chu Zhao's good points, and he thought that their relationship was still good.

Tang San felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it.

Once upon a time, everyone thought that Tang San was better than Chu Zhao.

I didn’t expect that now…

Chu Zhao is the wise emperor who is high above everyone else and unifies the continent.

But Tang San, his family was destroyed, his cultivation was wasted, and he was like a dog that had lost its home.

"Your home is still here. We didn't move it for you. It's just that no one cleans it. You have to clean it yourself."

Old Jack brought Tang San into the village, giving Tang San a temporary place to stay.

In Moonlight City.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hesitate."

Chu Zhao flipped over a document and spoke without raising his head to Xiao Chenyu, who was working in the same study.

"I want to know why Your Majesty didn't kill Tang San and let him go. Could it be that he still remembers the friendship we had at Notting Academy?"

After a long time, Xiao Chenyu finally asked this question.

"I'm not that sentimental. Not to mention that with Tang San's pride, living now is more painful than dying. Let's talk about the real reason why I, Liu Tang San, just used him as bait."

"Bait? Who do you want to catch, Your Majesty?"
