Chapter 25:

It didn't took a long time for Lin Tian and Xiao Wu to arrive at the small house.

"Well here it is, Home sweet home." Lin Tian said while opening the door.

the house still look the same as when he leave the village there's no dust at all even though it has been a few months. Xiao Wu is looking around in her curiosity of where Lin Tian live previously.

'It seems grandpa jack has been cleaning the house before we arrive. I'll have to thank him again later' while thinking this Lin Tian take out a double bed pillows and bedding from his storage which he prepared for him and Xiao Wu on the bedroom.

Ever since the night where he promise to protect Xiao Wu they have keep sleeping together even though Lin Tian already buy a new bedding, Xiao Wu also start to sleep while snuggling close to him and her bad sleeping habit suddenly become better which is a good thing since he didn't have to get kicked out of his bed. which is why right now Lin Tian just simply prepare a double bed for his one week stay in the village.

after putting everything in order Lin Tian finally asked, "Xiao Wu I'm going to Grandpa Jack do you want to go together?"

"Hmm ok, there is nothing else to do here."

Lin Tian nodded and the two start walking towards grandpa jack, when they arrive at his home they saw that grandpa jack seems to be worried about something.

"Grandpa what happen? did you troubled by something?"

"Oh Xiao Tian, it's about Tang Hao. He left the village a few days before you're back from Notting city and left behind some message to Xiao San. Now Xiao San is feeling really down after seeing his message, maybe that bastard finally decided to abandoned Xiao San." Grandpa Jack explaining in anger while shaking his head being really worried about Tang San's condition.

"Grandpa Jack how about making celebration to cheer up Tang San, there are quiet a lot of food in the cargo we can use it for the celebration. I'll call Tang San and said this is to celebrate our return to the village. Xiao Wu could you help grandpa Jack with the preparation?"

Hearing this Village chief Jack think about it and finally nodded, while Xiao Wu become excited hearing celebration she really like anything related to being rowdy such as fighting or having fun.

"Okay brother Tian just leave it to me." Xiao Wu answered cheerfully.

Without wasting any time Lin Tian directly walk toward Tang San's house. after a few minutes he finally arrive at the blacksmith house of the village, using his spiritual power Lin Tian can feel that Tang San is inside the house.

Lin Tian directly open the door and see Tang San with head down while holding a piece of paper in his hand.

"Xiao San are you alright?"

Hearing this Tang San reacted with an Expression like the world is going to end. "Oh, brother Tian you're here."

Seeing him like this Lin Tian was really speechless Tang San should be a 20-30 years old in mind, but seeing him like this makes him think that his mentality is the same as a child his father is just leaving and not dead after all. his reaction is as if there's no point in living in the world.

If Lin Tian was in his position having a bastard father who keep abusing him for six years finally leaving him alone he will definitely celebrate about it and throw him out of his head forever forgetting about the bastard.

and Lin Tian didn't have any respect for Tang Hao at all even though powerfull he doesn't even have the guts to go for revenge for his wife's death and instead just waste away by drinking for a whole six years while making his own son suffer, and if he remember correctly in the original story he doesn't even treat his old wounds for years making him in bad condition when fighting against wuhun hall.

shaking his head Lin Tian directly take the paper from Tang san's hand and read it.

'Xiao San:

When this letter reaches you, I will have already left. Do not look for me, you will not be able to find me.

Although you are still young, you have the strength to provide for yourself. A young falcon must first spread its wings on its own before soaring.

You need not worry about me. In your nature is a great deal of your mother's delicacy. Dad is a useless person. You gradually grow up, dad has to go get back some things that originally should have belonged to me. Inevitably one day, we two father and son will again see each other.

I hope you become formidable, but I also do not hope you become formidable. You choose your own path.

If one day you feel becoming a spirit master is not good, then return to Holy Spirit village, and like me, work as a blacksmith.

Do not miss me.

Tang Hao'

(Note: Copy paste this one from the original Douluo dalu)

"So why do you have to be so sad for?" after reading this Lin Tian simply said so.

Tang San look up with a frown on his face and seems to be getting angry anytime soon if Lin Tian didn't explain his meaning.

"First of all your father said that he must get something belong to him back which mean that he is going for a revenge or something similar.

secondly he said for you to not look for him and you won't be able to find him, it probably mean you will be a burden if you were to follow him now and you not being able to find him could also mean that your father is actually much stronger than you or he is going somewhere hidden and with your current power you won't be able to find him at all.

and last he said for you to spread your wing and hope you will become formidable meaning he hope for you to grow being independent and become stronger, Maybe when you're strong enough you will directly able to find your father.

Now i ask you why do you have to be sad, you just simply need to become stronger and find your father later."

Hearing this explaination Tang San seems to be strucked by a lightning and his dull eyes becoming brighter.

Seeing him finally getting himself together Lin Tian just said, "Well i came here just to tell you that the village is going to celebrate our return for the holiday, go join us later when you're done thinking."

after saying that Lin Tian directly leave him alone to think about things while Tang San seeing his back filled with gratitude.

---------------------------------

After a while Tang San finally join the villagers in an empty field of the village with a better mood, Seeing this Grandpa Jack finally smilled and relieved. Have to say he is a really good village chief always caring and worrying for everyone in the vllage.

the celebration start by with most of the Villagers auntie cooking while the men gather wood and making a big bonfire in the middle of the empty field. on the peak of the celebration many villagers come to talk with Lin Tian, Tang San and Xiao Wu while most who talk to Lin Tian saying thank you for the gift he share while welcoming them home.

"Grandpa jack there's something that i want to discuss with you."

before Lin Tian explain anything grandpa jack suddenly said calmly "You wanted to leave the village right?"

"Huh?"

grandpa jack smile and said "Xiao Tian within my whole life how many people do you think have awakened and become a Spirit master from our village? There are actually almost a dozen of them who are able to awakened and able to become Spirit master but all in the end leave the village after a few years and never return."

"I understand because we normal people have different way of life compared spirit masters and that's why i never asked them to stay because that will only burden their heart, that's why you don't have to feel guilty if you want to leave the village later."

Hearing this Lin Tian look at grandpa Jack's calm and peaceful face seems to not be burdened by him leaving the village at all.

"... Thank you grandpa. But actually i have another thing that i wanted to discuss." finally Lin Tian explain about him starting his business and the need for a supply of flower and some worker who he can trust to manage it.

"Grandpa i would like to ask some villagers who want to work with me and also i want the village to plant flowers and sell it to me as supply for it there's a flower field near the mountain that can be used, i will also pay 1 gold coin monthly for those who will working directly under me and also for those taking care of the flower field."

Hearing this Grandpa Jack was really surprissed 1 gold coin is a lot for normal people, this amount can be used for 3 month of living to normal people and he can see that Lin Tian is not joking about it.

"Xiao Tian leave it to me i will asked some of our villagers to plant and take care of the flowers and I'll also asked for those who want to work under you."

"Okay then i will have to ask for your help grandpa jack."

This is the way Lin Tian wanted to repay for the villagers, he knows he will be living different life compared to them being a Spirit Master all and giving them the chance for a better living was the best thing he could do while not influencing himself in his life as spirit master.

After finishing with the discussion Lin Tian directly go to Xiao Wu and spend the rest of the night playing around, eating and talking with the rest of the villagers. It was a good thing to have fun and relaxing once in a while.
