Chapter 1270
Tang Wulin's right hand caressed Lang Yue's back as he infused gentle soul power into her body to prevent her agitated emotional fluctuations from harming her body .
After a while, Lang Yue raised her head and spoke softly, "Wulin, is that really you? I never thought that I'd get the chance to see you again in my lifetime . "
"Mother, it's me . Don't cry anymore . It's not good to be sad . We're finally reunited as a family! Don't worry, I've spoken to Her Excellency, the Holy Spirit Douluo . She told me that Father is safe and he needs to fully rest for his recuperation . "
"Hmm . " Lang Yue nodded strenuously . She had learned about her husband's condition from the Holy Spirit Douluo since earlier . "My child, you've had a difficult time all these years . It's all Father and Mother's fault!"
She not only felt pity for her husband but for her son as well! When Tang Wulin was just ten years old, both she and her husband had no choice but to leave him . From the day they left till today, it had been a full twelve years . Each day had seemed like a year for the past twelve years . She had spent every day thinking about her little boy, all alone in this world . What would he do? Tang Wulin was barely skilled in forging at the time, and he was just a child after all .
Afterward, she and her husband finally had the opportunity to contact the family with a special long-distance communicator prepared by the Spirit Pagoda . It was a gift given by the Spirit Pagoda's branch to pacify and entice them to cooperate . However, they were not allowed to talk much for there was specially-appointed staff to monitor their communications . Thus, Tang Ziran and Lang Yue could only gather limited information from Tang Wulin's forging teacher, Mang Tian .
When they learned that Tang Wulin was progressing well and even got into Shrek Academy, they were happy . In spite of their happiness, they were filled with self-blame and remorse . They realized it would be extremely difficult for a child to grow up without parents or guardians!
Especially when they learned from Mang Tian that Tang Wulin was becoming an outstanding youth, they began to have hope . Yet, they dared not allow Mang Tian to tell Tang Wulin about their whereabouts . Besides, the supervisory staff would not allow them to reveal it either . It was not easy for Tang Ziran to divulge the information that they were at the Dou Spirit Empire . He chanced upon the occasion when the supervisory staff let their guard down once .
The device they were developing had finally succeeded . Initially, they thought that those people would release them then . All this while, those people granted them great wealth despite the occasional threat to their lives . They promised Tang Ziran and his wife a large amount of money and to send them home after the research was completed .
However, when the day came, they sensed something was wrong . Those people did not have the slightest intention to release them . The day Tang Wulin showed up was precisely the day the Spirit Pagoda intended to kill Tang Ziran and his wife to prevent them from divulging the secrets of their work . If Tang Wulin had been a step late, his parents would have died .
Just as Tang Wulin had planned, he managed to save his parents at the most crucial moment . Perhaps, it was god's will .
The sorrow in Lang Yue's heart gradually dissipated . She hugged her son . The feeling of happiness after a long suffering made her breathing a little rapid . Her arms were wrapped tightly around her child . She was afraid that it might just be a dream .
"Son, how has your life been over the years?" Lang Yue finally managed a question .
Tang Wulin raised his hand to dry the tears on his mother's face . "Mother, everything has been smooth going and relatively easy for me over the years . After your departure, I worked hard on elevating myself while learning to forge . Afterward, I got into Shrek Academy successfully . Then, I elevated myself one step at a time . Later, I was recruited by the Tang Sect . Under the academy and Tang Sect's mutual cultivation, I developed my skills gradually . Teacher Mang Tian finally told me about your possible location with my persistent queries . Father once told me that if I could cultivate to be a Soul Sage some day, then I can possibly save both of you . I'm supposed to represent the Tang Sect and head to the Dou Spirit Continent this time . Fortunately, I came in time . "
The events of twelve years were summarised into such a simple narrative . It all sounded so straightforward, yet the untold sorrow behind the story was beyond expression . He did not want his mother to worry .
Lang Yue looked at him . Her vision blurred once again . Tang Wulin might not have mentioned the whole truth . Yet, how could she not have figured out the many incidents that happened to her son over a decade!
"Mother, don't cry . Our family is finally reunited . I've truly waited for this day for a very long time . " Tang Wulin looked at his mother smilingly .
"Hmm . I won't cry anymore . Our family is finally reunited . " Lang Yue raised her hand and caressed her son's head gently . Her heart was overcome with gratitude as she looked at his tall, grown son .
"Mother, I'm going to get you some breakfast . We'll have breakfast in the room . Wait for me, I'll be back soon . " Tang Wulin hugged his mother . Although he did not wish to part with her for even a moment, he would still need to get some food first .
