Xiao Wu shook her head and threw up all the braids on the back of her head. "Without Dad, you still have me and Xiao You. We are all here."
"If you really want to find a relative, then I will be your sister reluctantly. You two are the only ones in the whole academy who don't call me Sister Xiaowu. Come on, call me Sister Xiaowu for yourselves."
Tang San stared at Xiao Wu blankly, and heard the quarrel between Gu You and Xiao Wu.
"What do you mean by 'your sister'? It's his business if the mistress wants to be recognized. What does it have to do with me?"
"Didn't you say you two are brothers? Xiao San calls me Sister Xiao Wu, so as a brother, shouldn't you call me that too? Come on, call me Sister Xiao Wu for me to hear."
"I'm calling you a head."
Seeing Gu You and Xiao Wu quarreling, Tang San couldn't help but smile, "Sister, forget it. If you are willing to be my sister, I have no objection."
Hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu no longer cared about playing with Gu You, and turned to Tang San and said: "Don't even think about it, I will only be a big sister, never a little sister."
As she spoke, Xiao Wu raised her hand, wanting to hit Tang San's head like Gu You hit her head.
Tang San twisted his body and easily avoided Xiao Wu's half-hearted action.
"Come with me up the mountain. I have something I want to show you."
Tang San's expression was very serious. Seeing Tang San's expression, Gu You's heart was shocked and he thought, "No way, it can't be what I think."
Xiao Wu looked at Gu You. Noticing Xiao Wu's gaze, Gu You could only bite the bullet and nodded. Xiao Wu also nodded at Tang San.
Although it was completely dark now, with the help of moonlight, Tang San used the Purple Demon Pupil, Gu You only changed his eyes into the golden eyes of the ultimate conductive beast, Xiao Wu also changed her eyes into red by learning some of the spirit possession that Gu You taught her, and the three of them arrived at the top of the mountain where Tang San practiced the Purple Demon Pupil in his childhood without any obstacles.
Standing on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain, Tang San looked outside the cliff and said, "Xiao Wu, this is where I practiced in my childhood. I am asking you a question very seriously, and I hope you can answer me seriously."
Xiao Wu swallowed and said, "Xiao San, do you know that your expression now looks very similar to that of the dean of the academy?"
Tang San slowly turned around and looked at Xiao Wu seriously, "Xiao Wu, I remember you said you were born in August, and I was born in January. Are you willing to be my sister? I really hope to have a family again."
After saying that, Tang San turned his head and looked at Gu You: "Xiao You, are you willing to be my brother?"
Looking at the scene before him, Gu You was very sure that he was involved in a major event.
Gu You smiled bitterly in his heart and quickly weighed the pros and cons. If he chose to refuse, Tang San would undoubtedly think that what he said before was a lie. Not only would all his previous efforts be wasted, but he might also end up dying.
Although Gu You believed that he could defeat or even kill Tang San by using his first soul skill, and at worst could escape, what about Old Jack and the other villagers?
After years of getting along, Gu You believed that he already had a place in Tang San's heart, and he also felt that Tang San was not hopeless.
Then, there is only one answer, and that is that I will pledge my allegiance to...
"No, it's not this." Gu You shook his head and brought his wandering thoughts back on track.
There was expectation in Tang San's eyes, with a hint of pleading that others, not even Tang San himself, could not detect.
Gu You nodded, "Of course, like I always said, we are brothers."
After receiving Gu You's affirmative answer, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu looked into Tang San's eyes and asked a question: "If one day, many people want to kill me, and you can't beat them, what will you do?"
A faint smile suddenly appeared on Tang San's face, "Then please ask them to step over my body first."
Xiao Wu was silent, and Tang San did not speak again. They suddenly became calm, and only the sound of cold wind blowing could be heard.
"Brother." Xiao Wu broke the silence with a simple word.
Hearing this "brother", Tang San's eyes shed tears. Tang San choked up and said to Xiao Wu: "I have nothing now, and you have seen the situation of my family. I can't give you wealth or power."
"I can see that your life story has a story. But I promise that I will always protect you and will not let you get hurt, even if the cost is my own."
Looking at Tang San and Xiao Wu, although it seemed inappropriate to say this now, Gu You felt that if he didn't say it now, it would become a big trouble in the future.
"Um, Xiaosan, let me make it clear in advance that I won't call you brother like Xiaowu does."
"Of course you don't have to call me brother. We can just keep calling each other as we did before."

ps: Considering Tang San's desire for family affection, we finally decided to arrange it this way. After this, the protagonist will have a greater influence on Tang San.
I dare say that once this chapter is published, many people will say it is a poisonous point and delete the book. But in this case, unless the protagonist does not want Tang San as a "brother" and chooses to break up with him, he can only make this choice. Alas, it is really difficult to write a book when logic and poisonous points appear at the same time. Please recommend, please collect, and please vote for the monthly ticket
Chapter 57 The Beginning of a New Life
Hearing Gu You's words, Xiao Wu turned her head to look at Tang San beside her and asked, "Can I not call you brother?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Tang San was stunned and asked, "Why?"
Xiao Wu's face flushed slightly, "After all, I am the eldest of all the students in the academy. If I suddenly have another brother, how will they look at me?"
Tang San smiled, "Okay, you can still call me Xiao San. As long as I know in my heart that you are my sister, what does the name matter?"
Tang San also looked at Gu You: "Xiao You, you too, continue to call me Xiao San, and I will continue to call you Xiao You."
Hearing Tang San's answer, Gu You smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, Gu You seemed to remember something and clapped his hands, "It's broken."
Tang San and Xiao Wu, frightened by Gu You's movements, quickly asked: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Grandpa is still waiting for me to come back home for dinner. I have to go back quickly, otherwise he will be anxious to find me."
"Xiao San, Xiao Wu, come back with me." As he said that, Gu You extended his hand to the two of them.
Tang San and Xiao Wu looked at each other, then looked at Gu You's hand. Tang San smiled and said, "Okay."
The three of them rushed down the mountain together.
Unlike Tang San who was happy to have found two new relatives, and Xiao Wu who was happy to have found someone willing to protect her, Gu You who was walking in the front felt a little nervous. This was completely different from his plan.
But things have already happened, and Gu You can only think of some good things to comfort himself.
Becoming Tang San's "brother" can at least ensure that he will not be killed inexplicably, which means that his biggest goal of "staying alive" has been achieved. Secondly, this also proves that he is now one of Tang San's closest people. Although I don't know if he can compare with Tang Hao, he should be better than Yu Xiaogang in the original work.
Thinking of this, Gu You's expression improved a little. Yu Xiaogang could make Tang San worse, so why couldn't he make Tang San better?
As long as Tang San doesn't become what he is later, it will be worth it. In the original novel, the civilians and poor people who cannot awaken their martial spirits because they have no money will kowtow to themselves ten thousand years later.
When the three of them arrived at Gu You's house, Gu You looked at the lights coming through the window and the smoke rising from the chimney. Except for Tang San and Xiao Wu, no one noticed that Gu You had a smile on his face.
This smile was different from the smiles they had seen Gu You in the past. It was not a smirk from a prank, nor was it a big laugh after the article was finished. It was a faint smile from the heart that even Gu You himself could not detect.
This kind of smile can only be seen on the face of a wanderer returning home. It is the warmth from "home" that can bloom on the face.
Looking at Gu You's smile, inexplicably, Tang San and Xiao Wu also smiled.
"Grandpa, I'm back." Gu You knocked on the door, and soon, Old Jack opened it.
"Xiao You, where did you go to play? Why did you come back so late...Xiao San, Xiao Wu, why are you here?" Old Jack opened the door and was about to preach to Gu You, but when he saw Tang San and Xiao Wu on both sides of Gu You, he said with surprise.
"Grandpa, let's talk about it inside first. Let's go in first. It's so cold outside." Gu You said, rubbing his hands.
Seeing Gu You's actions, Old Jack didn't care why Gu You asked why they came back so late, and directly invited the three of them into the room to keep warm.
"Oh, so comfortable~" x2
Gu You and Xiao Wu gathered around the stove, holding a cup of hot water in their hands and sighing.
"This guy Tang Hao, he was still there when I asked him to make farm tools the day before yesterday. I also told him that you guys were going to have a holiday and asked him if he wanted to go pick you up, but how come he just sneaked away like that?"
After hearing Tang San's story about Tang Hao's sudden departure, Old Jack's eyes turned red with anger. Tang San hurriedly comforted Old Jack.
With Tang San's comfort, Old Jack was no longer angry about Tang Hao's sudden departure, and instead worried about Tang San's mentality: "Xiao San, are you okay?"
Hearing the worry in Old Jack's tone, Tang San smiled and said, "Grandpa Jack, don't worry, I'm fine."
Seeing Old Jack's puzzled look, Tang San explained: "Dad will definitely come back, and I still have Xiaoyou and you. Although Dad is gone, I have a lifelong good brother and a sister."
When Old Jack was about to ask Tang San where his brothers and sister came from, he was suddenly frightened by a loud shout.
"You! Said! What!?" Xiao Wu pointed at Gu You and shouted, her fingers trembling slightly and her cheeks flushed, not sure if it was because of the temperature of the stove or because she was angry.
Gu You didn't care at all when being pointed at. After all, he was present almost every time Xiao Wu lost her temper this semester (although he was the reason for her temper).
He said leisurely: "Why? It's just calling me brother. Is it that difficult?"
"You!" Xiao Wu gritted her teeth, feeling like she would rush up and bite Gu You at any time.
"What do you mean by 'you'? Look, now that you recognize Xiao San as your brother, you are Xiao San's sister, right? And I am Xiao San's brother, which means you are also my sister, so you have to call me brother."
"You keep talking! I'll bite you to death!"
As she said that, Xiao Wu put down the cup of water and rushed forward to give Gu You a hard blow.
Seeing that Xiao Wu was serious this time, Gu You quickly circled around the table, "Hey, you can't catch me, you can't catch me."
After hearing what Gu You said, Old Jack also knew who the brothers and sisters Tang San was talking about were. Old Jack, who had no children and only adopted Gu You, suddenly felt that his home had become lively.
"Xiao You, stop playing. Xiao Wu, come over to Grandpa Jack, let Grandpa help you teach him a lesson."
Hearing what Old Jack said, Xiao Wu turned around and ran to Old Jack, shaking his arm and saying, "Grandpa Jack, you see, he always bullies me."
Gu You panicked when he heard what Old Jack said. Old Jack was different from Xiao Wu. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't get angry at Old Jack. "Wait, no, Grandpa, I didn't."
"Come here and apologize to Xiao Wu."
"I didn't…no, I was just joking."
"Well?"
"Tsk (whispering), I'm sorry, I shouldn't have teased you, please forgive me for being such a foolish brother, Xiao Wu."
"you-!"
Looking at the old man and two children in front of him, Tang San felt as if he had found a real home and a group of real family members.
Whether he is sad or happy, strong or weak, this small room will embrace him and accept him unconditionally.
Here, he is not a disciple of the Tang Sect, not a genius soul master with twin martial souls, and not a future Titled Douluo.
He is Tang San, and only Tang San, a member of this family.
Gu You and Xiao Wu who were fighting, and Old Jack who was sandwiched between them, did not see it. Tang San, who did not shed tears when he learned that Tang Hao had left, shed a crystal tear from the corner of his eye.
Tang San murmured: "I will protect this place, even if I lose everything."
