Soul Land: Power Of Space - 43. Rejection

“Excuse me,” Tang San said.

“Tang San, I’ve decided to fight alone,” Xiao Wu replied politely.

“If you want to team up with two people to fight spirit master, you should find Rong Rong. After all, her spirit is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower,” she added.

Xiao Wu’s rejection was firm but gentle, and she believed that Tang San could understand her decision. The mention of Ning Rongrong was merely an excuse, as Xiao Wu knew about her forming a team with Zhu Zhuqing.

However, she didn’t feel the need to hide this information from Tang San. Zhu Zhuqing wanted to avoid Dai Mubai, and Ning Rongrong needed a partner for her auxiliary system abilities. Xiao Wu supported their decision.

But deep down, Xiao Wu still had reservations about Tang San, whom she saw as a demon in human form. She tried her best to avoid angering him, especially after the terrifying encounter with the Titled Douluo that night.

Xiao Wu suspected that Tang Hao’s appearance was a warning to her, cautioning her against harboring any thoughts. Otherwise, there would be no reason for Clear Sky Doulou Tang Hao to block their path that night and include her, a 100,000-year-old soft bone rabbit, in their team. It seemed specific.

During a conversation with Ning Rongrong about the history of the Clear Sky School, Xiao Wu learned about its four subordinate families during their prime: Strength Clan, Defense Clan, Agility Clan, and Breaking Clan.

Despite Tang Hao’s current situation, he should still be able to lead one of these families. It didn’t make sense for Tang San, the son of a Titled Douluo, to work as a work-study student at the Junior Spirit Master Academy for six years, just like Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu pondered over this and realized that Tang San’s actions might be driven by his greed for her. He saw her 100,000-year spirit ring and spirit bone as valuable treasures that he could obtain easily. Compared to running away from him, Xiao Wu considered taking her own bones as a better option.

She would rather sacrifice herself to another demon than let Tang San have his way. Although Lu Yuan often teased her and showed possessiveness, at least he was honest about his intentions. He came for her spirit ring and spirit bone right from the start.

When Tang San asked why she had changed her address for him, Xiao Wu was taken aback. She jokingly asked if men and women should kiss each other, and continued to call him “Third brother” to avoid others assuming they were in a romantic relationship.

Xiao Wu believed that as they had grown up, certain things should be considered taboo between them. Tang San’s heart ached, wanting to express his love for Xiao Wu and not caring about trivial matters like stolen kisses or purity. However, he kept these words to himself, unable to utter them due to his pain and fear.

The rejection from Xiao Wu made Tang San feel disappointed and hurt. He wondered if he had done something wrong, which prompted him to ask for clarification. Tang San hoped that Xiao Wu would provide an honest answer so they could work things out in the future. If she couldn’t answer, he felt a surge of anger and determination.

He refused to let a despicable person like Lu Yuan come between them and was ready to confront any obstacles. Observing Tang San’s expression and determination, Xiao Wu took a deep breath and accepted that they hadn’t given up yet.

Xiao Wu acknowledged Tang San’s resilience, considering his ability to pretend since the age of six. If she felt guilty about their situation, it showed that he still had a place in her heart.

However, she wanted to let go and give up on their relationship. She fiddled with her braid, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke with a clear and delicate voice. She admitted that Tang San was right, but she also believed that she wasn’t wrong either. Xiao Wu had chosen a different path, and if that was considered wrong, then maybe she was wrong. Despite everything, she had no regrets.

Tang San closed his eyes, understanding Xiao Wu’s words. Both of them were right in their own ways. However, her mention of choosing another path remained ambiguous, leaving Tang San wondering what she meant by it. The words were unclear, intentionally allowing Xiao Wu to choose her own method willingly.

Tang San gritted his teeth and muttered two words, “Lu Yuan.” He despised Lu Yuan for threatening Xiao Wu’s safety and vowed to make him pay for his actions. The wheel of fate had started turning silently, and Tang San was ready to face whatever came next.
