Ah Yin's expression had recovered a lot at this time. She picked up the teacup on the table and poured a bowl of water for Tang Yin.
"Hao, don't worry, Xiaoyin will be fine with me here."
When saying this, Yin no longer felt confident.
Tang Yin turned around and smiled at Ah Yin: "Mom, don't blame yourself, this was just an accident."
The attentive Tang Yin could hear the self-blame in Ah Yin's tone. This was an accident without any warning. Even with Tang Hao by his side, it was of no use.
His attentiveness allows him to take care of everyone around him, but there is no place for himself.
Hearing her son's words of forgiveness, Yin felt relieved.
"Dad, I don't want to go to Tiandou City."
"So where do you want to go?"
Tang Hao would not question any of Tang Yin's requests now, nor would he ask why.
Tang Yin looked up at the dusty wooden beams, his eyes full of forced relief: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back to Holy Soul Village."
"Okay, I'll go find the carriage."
Tang Hao didn't say much, turned around and left to look for a carriage.
Zhu Zhuyun, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "Xiaoyin, let me go to the Holy Soul Village with you."

Chapter 74 Return to the Holy Soul
Zhu Zhuyun didn't know how much courage it took her to say this. Although she felt a little ashamed, she knew that now was the easiest time to get into Tang Yin's heart. She didn't want to give up such an opportunity.
Ah Yin was not very surprised by what Zhu Zhuyun said. She knew that the girl's heart was already filled with her son. She knew that Tang Yin had someone she loved, and as a mother she should not let Tang Yin delay Zhu Zhuyun any longer. But as a person who had been through this, she knew that people who were in love would not listen to any advice.
People always say they are love-brained, but having someone you love is such a rare thing.
Tang Yin didn't want Zhu Zhuyun to continue to fall into this trap. At least in the short term, it would be difficult for him to love someone wholeheartedly again.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Zhuyun said to him seriously: "We are friends. You told me this yourself."
These words made Tang Yin hold back all the words that were about to come out. If he wanted to stay by his side as a friend, what reason did he have to refuse?
Even though both of them knew the truth, they ultimately did not expose this flimsy excuse. This was their last bit of decency.
The town was not big. Before Tang Yin and the other two had even had a few sips of tea, Tang Hao came back with a carriage.
In fact, they were originally traveling together, but Tang Yin was injured and couldn't walk fast, and Tang San needed to upgrade his spirit ring. As a father, Tang Hao had to try his best to treat both of them equally.
The carriage was a bit old, and the person pulling it was a man who looked rather old. He had been traveling outside all year round, and was exposed to the wind and sun, so his face was full of deep wrinkles.
In fact, he is not even older than Tang Hao. As a soul master, Tang Hao is in his prime, while the old man pulling the cart is already half buried in the ground.
"Ayin, I'm leaving."
One word of advice from his wife was worth a thousand words. With a push of his feet, Tang Hao disappeared from everyone's sight as he turned and moved.
Tang Hao has paid all the expenses, and the money is enough for the old man to live out his days in peace.
Bibi Dong, Pope Bibi Dong, Tang Hao had heard of her name when he was young, which proved that she was not much younger than himself. It would be absurd for anyone to hear that his son had feelings for Bibi Dong, who was thirty years older than him.
The old man pulling the cart sighed: "What a powerful soul master."
Ah Yin was a little confused, as she didn't sense any fluctuation of soul power from the old man.
"Xiao Yun, practice well and take care of yourself. I will take care of your sister."
Tang Hao said goodbye to the three people one by one. When he said goodbye to Ah Yin, he didn't say too many words. The thousands of words in his heart finally turned into just one sentence: I'm leaving.
Although Tang Hao, as a father, did not understand, he expressed his support.
After getting on the carriage, Tang Hao said goodbye to the three people.
"Old man, can you see my lover's cultivation?"
Tang Hao was not surprised that Zhu Zhuyun stayed. He also hoped that Zhu Zhuyun could help Tang Yin get over the relationship that had almost no future.
"Xiaoyin, have a good rest and listen to your mother."
Ah Yin was a little reluctant, but she knew that Tang Hao still had a lot of things to do: "Hao, be careful."
The old man shook his head and smiled, "I am just an ordinary man. Although I have no cultivation, I have been to many places and met many spirit masters. I have never seen a spirit master as fast as the one just now."
Ah Yin secretly felt that he was a little confused. With such a fast speed, could the person not be a soul master but an ordinary person?
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go."
Pulled by the old coachman, the carriage swayed slowly towards the north.
The journey took more than two months, with stops and starts along the way. Tang Yin tried to use the heaven and earth as a furnace and it actually worked.
But when he was about to summon his martial spirit, Zi Xi stopped him urgently.
"Xiaoyin, you can't practice yet."
"Why?" Tang Yin expressed confusion.
He knew that his current condition was probably not the sequelae of his soul power being sealed in his body for a long time as Zi Xi had said before. It seemed like Zi Xi was hiding something from him.
"I sealed the soul power in you. As for the reason, I can't tell you now. You just need to know that I did it for your own good."
"Xiaoyin, promise me that you won't practice during this period of time. Just treat it as a vacation and relax."
Tang Yin was confused by Zi Xi's words as a riddle. Tang Yin knew that she and Zi Xi were now one, and her own cultivation would be of great benefit to Zi Xi. However, she naturally had her considerations for not allowing herself to practice, and she believed that there would be no harm in it.
"Okay, Sister Zixi, I promise you."
After hearing Tang Yin's answer, Zi Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had a reason for sealing Tang Yin's soul power, because at some point, a strange, cold, and even trembling aura suddenly appeared in Tang Yin's body without any warning. "He" looked exactly like Tang Yin!
This "Tang Yin" is highly bound to Tang Yin's soul power. Zi Xi is instinctively afraid of this "Tang Yin". Now she can only resort to this last resort to seal Tang Yin's soul power and warn Tang Yin not to practice to prevent this "Tang Yin" from breaking the seal.
This is the inner demon, the calamity that belongs to Tang Yin...
The carriage had already entered the territory of the Tiandou Empire and was not far from the Holy Soul Village. Tang Yin could already see the shadow of the mountain behind where Ah Yin had stayed.
As he got closer to the Holy Soul Village, Tang Yin actually felt more timid.
The familiar path has not changed much compared to six years ago. The short and old wooden gate at the entrance of the village is still standing, but the three words "Holy Soul Village" written on the plaque above the wooden door have become a little blurred.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, and three people got off the carriage and walked towards the village.
Tang Yin, who didn't want to sit in a wheelchair, was pushed into the wheelchair by A Yin again this time. Zhu Zhuyun took the wheelchair from A Yin and pushed Tang Yin into the Holy Soul Village.
“Is this where you lived as a child?”
Zhu Zhuyun looked around. She was full of curiosity about Tang Yin's past, just like Tang Yin wanted to know Bibi Dong's past...
"There are many villages like this on the mainland. Most of the villagers have never left the village. The farthest place they have been to is probably a nearby small town. For example, the villagers of Holy Soul Village, the biggest city they have ever seen is probably Notting City."
The three strangers quickly attracted the attention of the villagers. Tang Yin's appearance had changed a lot, and since they were far away, almost no one could recognize him.
Old Jack, the village chief, learned that there were outsiders in the village. When he was about to go out with his crutches, he saw the three foreign guests.
The white-haired young man sitting in the wheelchair smiled and said to Old Jack: "Grandpa Jack, long time no see."
Chapter 75 Home and Friends
Old Jack was stunned for a long time, and he couldn't remember who the white-haired young man who called him Grandpa Jack was. Old Jack, who was nearly 70 years old, had obvious signs of memory decline.
"You are……"
Old Jack walked forward with his cane, wanting to see Tang Yin's appearance clearly.
Tang Yin smiled and said, "Grandpa Jack doesn't recognize Xiao Yin anymore?"
Tang Yin also had a very deep affection for the old village chief. When he was a child, this kind old man always took care of their family. He loved Tang Yin very much and often gave Tang Yin a boiled egg.
In Tang Yin's heart, Old Jack was like a kind grandfather who favored him.
When you are hurt in your heart, you always think about what to make up for it. Family love may be a good medicine.
Old Jack approached and finally saw the man in front of him clearly. Six years had passed, and the figure of the naughty and lively child in his memory became clearer, overlapping with the figure of the white-haired young man in front of him.
Old Jack said in surprise: "You are really Xiaoyin!"
The cane in his hand was thrown aside. Old Jack stepped forward and touched Tang Yin's face. His old voice was full of love and pity: "Xiao Yin, I haven't seen you for six years. How did you become like this? You were only twelve years old, how come your hair turned white..."
Tang Yin raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the old man's eyes. With a warm smile on his face, he comforted him softly, "Grandpa Jack, I'm fine."
Old Jack was getting more and more excited as he talked, and didn't hear Ah Yin's explanation clearly. Only then did he notice the two people behind Tang Yin, a woman, one big and one small, one gentle and elegant, the other lively and pretty.
As he spoke, Old Jack's voice became a little choked up, and tears of heartache welled up in his eyes.
Old Jack picked up the cane on the ground and knocked it heavily on the ground twice. His tone suddenly became serious: "Xiaoyin, tell me, is it Tang Hao who made you like this? I said that guy looked unreliable, and I thought he had reformed. In my opinion, he is a dog..."
Seeing that Old Jack had misunderstood, Ah Yin quickly explained, "Old Village Chief, Xiao Yin's injury actually has nothing to do with Tang Hao. It was because of my incompetence as a mother that Xiao Yin got hurt."
Old Jack always treated Tang Yin as his own grandson. Although he looked down on Tang Hao as a father, he was particularly caring for his two children, especially Tang Yin. He watched Tang Yin grow up little by little from the cradle, and what he liked most was to hear him calling him Grandpa Jack when he was a child.
Zhu Zhuyun was a little stunned. The village where Xiaoyin lived when he was a child actually had such a fierce village chief. His teacher was almost degraded to nothing in front of this old man. If Tang Hao was really here, the old village chief might really talk to Tang Hao with his cane.
Seeing that Old Jack didn't say anything else but looked at Ah Yin and Zhu Zhuyun behind him, Tang Yin introduced them to Old Jack: "This is my mother Ah Yin, and this is my friend Zhu Zhuyun, who is also my father's disciple."
Old Jack looked at Xiao Yin for a long time. He thought that Tang Hao and the other two must have left the village to look for Xiao Yin's mother. As for Zhu Zhuyun's identity, Old Jack did not say much. He just laughed and said, "The girl is very pretty. Xiao Yin has a good eye."
The latter part contains a lot of mother's content, so I won’t write about it.
"You still say you're fine!" Old Jack wiped away the tears from his eyes. "I, your grandpa Jack, am almost seventy years old. Although my legs and feet are not very strong, I can still walk by myself. Although I'm old, my hair is not completely white."
Old Jack's palms were a little rough, with many thick calluses from years of hard work. Rubbing them on his face was a little irritating, but Tang Yin felt the warmth of his hands, which was the same feeling as Ah Yin's warm palms touching his face.
Old Jack's words made Zhu Zhuyun blush, but she did not rush to defend herself.
Tang Yin explained helplessly: "Grandpa Jack, between me and Sister Zhuyun..."
