“Why are you back again?”
Tang Haofei smiled as he spoke, though the smile seemed a bit forced...
“I just forgot a few things. Um, about that reward you received during the second sequence ranking battle… the Fateful Gourd, right?”
Tang Haofei nodded, indicating that he still had that item in hand.
“I just thought, since you need my blood, why not exchange it for the Fateful Gourd? What do you think of this proposal?”
“Not much…”
Tang Haofei appeared to seriously contemplate this suggestion for a moment, then resolutely declined Wen Yu's request.
To think that a bit of blood could be exchanged for a pass to an eleventh level strongman, it was hard to tell if Wen Yu was overestimating himself or underestimating the value of the item...
“Is that so… then forget it…”
Wen Yu sighed, seemingly a bit disappointed, and turned his head, walking straight toward the door.
“Leave him… kill him!”
“Boss, take him down…”
The noisy voices in his mind once again surfaced, and now Tang Haofei simply remained silent—he was contemplating the pros and cons of taking action now.
However, suddenly, a voice pierced through his thoughts.
“By the way, have you seen the Faceless in these years?”
“Huh? What did you say?”
Faced with Wen Yu's abrupt questioning, Tang Haofei was clearly caught off guard, staring at Wen Yu in a daze, unsure of what he meant by that.
“I remember I called the Faceless back once in these years, and he came to see you. At that time, he looked at you from a distance, and according to his report, you should not have noticed his presence. But now that I think about it, there seems to be a bit of a problem…”
Wen Yu did not elaborate on the problem; he merely turned back to Tang Haofei, this time his soul perception sweeping out unabashedly, quickly wrapping around Tang Haofei's body.
The physical condition still appeared as it did at first glance, but Wen Yu pondered seriously and felt that Tang Haofei had some kind of issue in certain aspects.
The problem lay in the recent behaviors of Tang Yi and Tang San—at first glance, there seemed to be no issues, yet now, as Wen Yu filtered through these events in his mind again, he felt he had overlooked something…
“Don’t you want to know what I've been doing all these years?”
“You have your own secrets. Since you didn't bring it up, I don’t need to pry.”
“Hmm, then don’t you want to resolve the issue regarding the cost of power? I remember you wanted me to help with Tang San's troubles a few years back; I think now I could give it a try.”
As Wen Yu said this, he strolled toward Tang Haofei.
It was indeed just a try—regarding the cost of power, Wen Yu actually didn’t have any effective solutions, at most he could attempt to use the dream-come-true skill system to see if he could remove Tang San’s personality. However, just as he thought of this, Wen Yu suddenly realized what he had overlooked…
Tang Haofei hadn’t mentioned a word about the cost of power since it surfaced!
Ever since the cost of power came into play, every time Tang Haofei met with Wen Yu, he had always brought up how to resolve the cost of power. Old Tang dreamed of removing the beast-like personality of Tang San, yet with Wen Yu’s return, Tang Haofei hadn’t asked Wen Yu for help but rather eagerly wanted Wen Yu's blood.
This was just one aspect...
Once one noticed even the slightest flaw, everything about it seemed to unravel, becoming riddled with holes!
Tang Yi and Tang San both had issues... When they first met, Tang Yi was all Buddhist-like, even when the heart resonance world was in such chaos, he merely chatted calmly with Wen Yu. Only when Wen Yu asked did he reveal Tang San’s awful side in the heart resonance world.
When it comes to the study of souls, there was no one deeper than Wen Yu in this world. Old Tang had such a big issue, and while he couldn’t find Wen Yu, now that Wen Yu actively sought him out, Tang Haofei should have eagerly asked Wen Yu to see if he could remove Tang San's personality from the outside, instead of entering the heart resonance world to play out such a boring farce with Tang San!
