Douluo Dalu 5: Rebirth Of Tang San

Wu Bingji had already regained his composure. He looked at Tang San, then at Zhang Haoxuan. "I'll go see her. Tang San..." He paused at this point, ultimately not finishing his sentence.

But Tang San already understood what he wanted to say. He lowered his voice and said, "You can try. Try to ask, although you might not get a result. So be mentally prepared, senior brother."

Wu Bingji evidently wanted to inquire about his background, particularly about his mother.

Cheng Zicheng had already let go of Wu Bingji's hand when Tang San mentioned that he wouldn't be arranging a marriage.

Wu Bingji said, "I understand. Let's go now." With that, he turned and walked out.

Tang San bowed slightly to his master before following Wu Bingji.

Cheng Zicheng then turned away, pouting, and snorted, "I'm going back to my room." With that, she also walked out.

Du Bai stuck out his tongue and whispered to Gu Li, "This is a one-sided love, isn't it?"

Cheng Zicheng had sharp ears. She quickly came back, glaring at Du Bai. "Who did you say has a one-sided love?"

Du Bai, in his infinite wisdom, instantly changed his tune. "I was talking about myself. I've always admired you, always a one-sided love, but you just don't see me that way!"

Cheng Zicheng snorted disdainfully. "You?" With that, she turned and walked out.

Zhang Haoxuan shook his head helplessly. It was clear to everyone that Cheng Zicheng had feelings for Wu Bingji. Although they were still young, Wu Bingji clearly had no interest in romantic relationships, focusing entirely on cultivation. Even though he knew about Cheng Zicheng's feelings for him, he had never responded to her.

In this regard, Zhang Haoxuan had always thought it was only appropriate. After all, Wu Bingji was the eldest senior brother, and Cheng Zicheng was still young, so there was no rush. But today, it seemed that Cheng Zicheng had genuinely fallen for her senior brother. Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly just now.

Tang San walked side by side with Wu Bingji towards his room. As they walked, Tang San asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, about sister Zicheng..."

Wu Bingji gently shook his head and said, "I know how she feels about me and it’s not that I am rejecting her. But I don't have the leisure to think about these things right now. When I turned eighteen and became an adult, I made a vow: if I don't reach the god level, I won't start a family."

Tang San nodded and said, "There's no rush. You are both still very young. But speaking of that, the Ice Maiden clan's help should be a good opportunity to reach the tenth order. I'll ask the clan leader to let you try cultivating with the Throne of Frost this time. She took a good pile of money from me, so she shouldn't refuse. Eldest brother, you should take this opportunity to purify your bloodline to the level where you can cultivate to the peak of the ninth order, at least. In the future, when you reach the point of becoming a god, you will definitely need to visit the Ice Maiden clan."

"Yes," Wu Bingji nodded. The sudden change in his background made his emotions very complicated and somewhat chaotic.

The two arrived at Tang San's room. Tang San knocked on the door.

The door opened, revealing Huang Bingbing's stunning face.

"Clan Leader, we're back." Tang San nodded to her.

Huang Bingbing's gaze, however, bypassed him and fell on Wu Bingji.

Bloodline power resonance was immediately apparent among members of the same clan. Wu Bingji instantly felt his blood stir slightly, and a chill naturally emanated from him. His eyes turned ice blue.

Huang Bingbing's eyes also turned ice blue. When their eyes met, Wu Bingji immediately felt an indescribable sense of closeness, and in spite of the room temperature dropping, there was a mass of warmth spreading in his chest. He blurted out, "Wu Bingji greets the clan leader."

"Come in," Huang Bingbing said as she silently felt the fluctuations in Wu Bingji's bloodline, stepping aside to let them in.

The two walked into the room, with Wu Bingji looking somewhat restrained, staying close to Tang San.

Huang Bingbing led them to the living room and gestured for them to sit.

Tang San pulled Wu Bingji to sit down. Huang Bingbing sat down beside Wu Bingji and unceremoniously grasped his wrist. Wu Bingji glanced at Tang San and didn't resist. He knew she was inspecting his bloodline.

Huang Bingbing closed her eyes, silently observing. With her divine consciousness, she could clearly feel every detail of Wu Bingji's body, especially the bloodline strength and purity.

After a full quarter of an hour, Huang Bingbing released his hand and muttered, "Your bloodline strength is average, but your cultivation is very good. You’re at the peak of the eighth order, and you are suppressing your cultivation and concentrating your energy. The key is that your vitality is very strong, stronger than our normal clan members. If the bloodline purity is improved, there's hope for reaching godhood."

As she said the last words, her beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she tilted her head as she looked at Wu Bingji. "Did you reach this level entirely through your own cultivation?"

Wu Bingji looked at her and nodded slightly. "Yes. I had some opportunities, but the cultivation was all done by myself."

Huang Bingbing mused, "Since you reached the peak of the eighth order through your own cultivation, there really is hope. Although you've reached a bottleneck, this is common for most clan members. Your bloodline purity, considering your human half, is very high. You must be a descendant of one of our god-level elders. Do you know who your mother is?"

God-level elder? Wu Bingji's expression changed. "I don't know. I actually wanted to ask you, Clan Leader, if you could help me find my mother."

Huang Bingbing's face turned cold, and she said sternly, "Do you know what the punishment is for secretly marrying an outsider? In our clan, it means returning to the source and being reshaped into ice."

Wu Bingji was taken aback. "Clan Leader..."

Huang Bingbing ignored him and turned to Asura. "You've proven that what you said is true. But this matter is too significant for me to make a decision now. I need to go back and investigate further. He will come back with me to the Ice Maiden clan."

Asura shook his head without hesitation. "Absolutely not. He is my senior brother, and it's not the right time for him to go with you. If your clan ultimately decides not to cooperate with us and doesn't choose my method, what will happen to my senior brother as a bearer of your bloodline, which your clan's rules apparently don't allow? Will he come back alive?"

Huang Bingbing looked at him coldly. "You're right. But as an offspring born in violation of our clan's rules, he must be taken back. If the Elder Council agrees to your proposal, he might remain unharmed. Otherwise, he must return to ice. Whether we cooperate with humans or not, he must be taken to the clan. Such an existence, especially a male, cannot be left outside."

Asura’s face darkened. "Clan Leader, you didn't mention any of this before asking me to bring my senior brother here."

Huang Bingbing said indifferently, "If I had explained, would you have brought him here? It has now been proven that he carries our clan's bloodline, and this matter needs thorough investigation. I will strive to support your previous proposal."

"But there's also the possibility of failure."

Huang Bingbing did not argue, replying calmly, "I'm taking him with me. Do you intend to stop me?"

Wu Bingji wanted to say something but Tang San stopped him. He pulled his senior brother to his side and looked intently at the Ice Maiden clan leader. "You can try."

Huang Bingbing said coldly, "You are not a god. Do you think your strong bloodline is enough to stop me? I said I must take him, and I will take him."

Asura said, "How about this, Clan Leader? Let's duel. You cannot use the Throne of Frost. If you can defeat me, you can take him and I won’t say anything. Otherwise, proceed according to our previous agreement and return by yourself. Whether we cooperate in the future or not, you will not lay a single hand on my senior brother."
