He was not tall, but he was very temperamental on his face with faint lines at the corners of his eyes, you could vaguely see his beauty when he was young. He was Tang Yunqing's parents, the uniqueness in the air. The smell of my own son.

Before opening the door, Tang's mother originally wanted to hug and comfort him, but when she saw Ye Luyao wearing a light blue dress behind Tang Yunqing, the forced smile on her face disappeared in an instant and was replaced by a smile of surprise.

She immediately reached out to push her son who was smiling with open arms. Then, in Tang Yunqing's stunned eyes, she ran towards Ye Luyao and said solemnly, "Little girl, are you our Yunqing's friend? Please come in quickly, come in quickly."

"I'm not his friend!" When Ye Luyao heard this, she instinctively frowned and retorted.

When Tang's mother saw this, she was surprised at first, and even more surprised. In Tang Yunqing's eyes, she was almost excited, "Not a friend? It's better not to be a friend! That's because Auntie is old and doesn't understand the excitement and romance of you young people. Auntie, I apologize to you, hurry up and go in first."

As she spoke, Mother Tang stretched out her hand to embrace Ye Luyao's shoulder, and the latter subconsciously wanted to form a dragon scale armor, but suddenly she saw Tang Yunqing staring at her sharply, with a strong threat in her eyes. She suddenly felt a shiver all over her body and her body was slightly stiff. Unconsciously, she was hugged by Mother Tang and entered the house. She sat on the sofa in the living room. Mother Tang sat aside and frowned when she saw her son who had returned home after a long journey. She frowned, "What are you looking at? What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you get someone some water?"

"..."

Tang Yunqing's face was expressionless. At this moment, he really wanted to ask his mother, was he his biological son? However, under the scrutiny of his own mother, he finally served tea and poured water honestly.

Sitting on the sofa, Ye Luyao, who was thinking about the true meaning of Tang Mu's words, suddenly realized something, his eyes rolled, and then suddenly turned to look at Tang Mu, he looked aggrieved and said, "Auntie, your son bullied me!"

Tang Yunqing, who had not gone far, couldn't help but tremble when he heard Ye Luyao's coquettish accent. He almost tripped and fell to the ground. When he realized that something was wrong, he heard his own mother yelling at him. He stood up and said, "Tang Yunqing! How have I taught you since you were a child! How can you bully a girl? See how I will deal with you later!"

After Tang's mother finished yelling, she changed her face and smiled again. She turned her head to look at Ye Luyao, took his hand, and said kindly, "Come on, tell Auntie how she bullied you, and I will help you bully her back."

When Tang Yunqing heard what Tang's mother said, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at his own mother with an annoyed look. He inadvertently looked at Ye Luyao. Seeing the evil smile in her eyes, Tang Yunqing felt... I couldn't help but complain.

"It's over!"

After all, to some extent, my own mother was more terrifying than the city lord.

The city lord was reasonable, and his biological mother was also reasonable to others in important matters, but when it came to him and his father, she was unreasonable.

After a while, Tang Yunqing came back with tea and heard that Tang's mother was 'checking the household registration'. The key point was that Ye Luyao answered her obediently, but the content... was completely fabricated!

In her mouth, she came from an island city off the coast of Weilan City. Because of the "Weilan Disaster", she had to return to the City of Truth with Tang Yunqing. During the journey back, Tang Yunqing exploited her like a slave, for example, he said she robbed him of his belongings, forced him to apologize, bullied him in big and small matters, refused to give him a separate room and bed, and even wanted him to sleep on the doorstep to make him reveal his deepest secrets.

Every accusation Ye Luyao made against Tang Yunqing could be traced back to her previous words when she complained to the city lord of Qi Lin. Of course, it sounded like baseless slander to Tang Yunqing, but judging from the disappointed expression in Tang Mu's eyes when he looked at her, he most likely believed it, at least half of it.

At this moment, he was probably thinking, he never expected his son to be such a person!

"..."

After Tang Yunqing put down his tea, he sat aside helplessly, with no desire to interrupt. At this moment, he felt extremely regretful. If he had known better, he would have waited for the God of Courage to come and retrieve the sea dragon pearl before returning home to report his safety.

I suffered for no reason... Why bother?

Tang Yunqing felt his heart wither.

After a while, Ye Luyao drank a bottle of water and finally stopped slandering Tang Yunqing. Mother Tang also took the opportunity to stand up and said to her, “You must be tired after coming from afar. I’ll go and clean up, prepare a room for you first. Let’s rest at home, then go out to buy groceries and cook our special dishes for you, and help you clean up this bastard Tang Yunqing, what do you think?”

As she spoke, Mother Tang pointed her finger at Tang Yunqing with a murderous tone.

“Then thank you, Auntie.” Ye Luyao said as she looked at Tang Yunqing proudly.

Tang Yunqing did not answer.

When Mother Tang went upstairs, she looked back at Ye Luyao, nodding in satisfaction from time to time, leaving only the two of them in the living room. Ye Luyao looked at Tang Yunqing, who had a lifeless face, and said proudly, “Oh, I am the great princess of the Sea Dragon Tribe, I really can’t fight you?”

“…”

Tang Yunqing glanced at her faintly, but said in his heart, ‘You don’t know who you provoked or what crime you committed.’

"Just wait, this is just the beginning." Ye Luyao smiled at him.

After those words, the living room became quiet.

Ten minutes later, Tang's mother tidied up the room and came down from downstairs, inviting Ye Luyao to rest. After a while, she returned to the living room and saw her son sitting on the sofa with dull eyes, she slapped him hard. She shook her head, then sat down next to him and asked, "You didn't really do what that girl said, did you?"

"Of course not! She's full of nonsense." Tang Yunqing felt very guilty. Why didn't his mother believe in herself?

"Of course I believe in my son, but... if you don't hold on to such a beautiful girl, do you want to scare your mother to death?"

"Mom, how old am I?" Tang Yunqing was helpless.

"Do you think you're very young? You don't know how old I was when your father and I were together. If your father wasn't in poor health, you would be much older than we were back then." Tang Yunqing's mother said, "You should hold on tighter, don't waste this good opportunity."

"Don't worry about it..." Tang Yunqing held his forehead.

"I don't care! I don't care who cares about you! Damn it, kid!" Mother Tang slapped Tang Yunqing's thigh so hard that it made him grin. Then her face suddenly turned gloomy before finally asking, "You, what about the graduation mission?"

"It's hard to put into words."

"Graduating now or graduating a year later makes no difference, but don't be too shocked, you know?"

"I know." Tang Yunqing could hear the concern in his mother's words, and his whole heart felt warm.

"It's okay. I'll go out to buy groceries. You should also get some rest. When your father comes back, I'll call you after I'm done cooking." After saying this, Mother Tang hurried out the door. Tang Yunqing returned to her room, lay on the soft bed, looked at the familiar ceiling, and felt a little regret in her heart again.

He could have graduated with his classmates, but now he had to lag behind by one level. It didn't matter if he was one level behind, but the law of the country stipulated that only students who graduated from the Holy Truth Academy were eligible to go to other realms, as well as some special cities, now all plans had to be postponed, but Tang Yunqing sometimes thought that with his current situation of holding the Sea Dragon Pearl, he might not be completely free.

"Huh..." After a soft sigh, Tang Yunqing closed his eyes and entered a state of cultivation.

Night.

When Tang's father returned home, Tang's mother woke him up and went downstairs to eat with Ye Luyao.

While eating, Tang's father also asked Ye Luyao a lot of things. Ye Luyao pretended to be a good baby and made Tang's mother and Tang's father laugh. This was very painful for Tang Yunqing during dinner. He was so angry that he didn't even eat a bite. He always hoped that the God of Courage would come to the City of Truth as soon as possible and release him as soon as possible.

The next day, Ye Luyao proposed to Tang's mother to go shopping. Tang Yunqing didn't want to go, but under the cold gaze of Tang's mother, he had to give in and buy with thousands of gold coins all day long.

Tang's mother was surprised by Tang Yunqing's way of paying. After asking in private, she got a vague answer. Tang's mother was also a sensible person, and seeing that her son was inconvenient to talk about it, she didn't bring it up.

The third day.

Tang Yunqing woke up very early in the morning. At this time, the moon was shining brightly outside the window and the stars were sparse. Looking at the sky, it was actually three or four in the morning.

Today is the graduation ceremony of the Holy Truth Academy. Thousands of young people from major cities in the Kingdom of Order are eligible to travel or join major organizations.

Tang Yunqing should have been one of them, but because of Hailongwei's pursuit, he missed the final submission date, so he could only go to the scene to bless his classmates.

His mood is inevitably a little sad, but it is not unacceptable.

Tang Yunqing was lying on the bed with his eyes open. The sky outside the window gradually became brighter, and noisy sounds came in from the window.

This neighborhood is a gathering place for students of the Holy Truth Academy. It can be imagined that today is an important day for the family members of every child who is about to graduate, in fact not only for them but also for the entire City of Truth.

Tang Yunqing rolled over and got up. When he walked from the second floor to the first floor, he saw his mother leaning on his father's shoulder with slightly abnormal red eyes.

"Wake up so early?" Tang Yunqing said unexpectedly.

"Can't sleep..." Mother Tang wiped the corners of her eyes in panic.

"Whatever, didn't you also say that a year's delay is nothing?" Tang Yunqing felt depressed.

"Therefore, my heart still feels a little uncomfortable." Tang Mu said.

"I don't feel uncomfortable at all, why do you feel uncomfortable?" Tang Yunqing asked.

"You are heartless, of course you don't feel bad!" Mother Tang said angrily. After speaking, she stood up, brushed past Tang Yunqing angrily, and returned to her room.

"You also know that your mother has long wanted to see you wear a graduation uniform. She has been thinking about it in her dreams. She is looking forward to it, but she is reluctant to let it go." His father also stood up, walked to his son, and patted him gently. He looked over his shoulder and said, "But she definitely didn't mean to blame you, do you understand?"

"I know..." Tang Yunqing sighed softly.

At this time in the Tang family's attic, Mu Ziqi and Kong Mubai, who were sent by the city lord of Qi Lin to protect Tang Yunqing and Ye Luyao, were sitting on the floor looking at each other.

"Do you want to tell her first? I feel a little worried."

"Forget it, let's give them a surprise."

"Okay..."

After the voice ended, the attic was quiet again.
