บท 59: Father’s Message (3)
"Little 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 the spirit master vocation is not good, then return to Holy Spirit village, and like me, work as a blacksmith.
Do not miss me.
Tang Hao"
Reading the letter in his hand, Tang San's entire person was already stunned, the joy filling his chest in an instant changing into helpless loss.
Dad left, dad, why must you leave?
Old Jack saw Tang San in low spirits, and with a wry smile said:
"Tang Hao this fellow left without any warning. The day before yesterday I came to have him forge some farm tools. With him leaving like this, we must again find a blacksmith later. This fellow, truly too irresponsible."
Tang San slowly returned from his absentmindedness,
"Grandpa Jack, you're saying, dad would have left in only these two days?"
Old Jack nodded.
"Should have left in these two days. Little San, don't feel sorry, this kind of a father is unworthy of it. Come with grandpa, we'll go to my home."
Tang San silently shook his head, with the greatest care folding the letter in his hands, placing it in his bosom.
"Thank you, Grandpa Jack, but my home is in this mess, I must decline and remain. I still have to put it in order at once."
Old Jack was stunned a moment, he had not thought the very small Tang San unexpectedly would send him off, with a sigh, he said:
"Very well. Only, if you need anything, do not hesitate to come find me."
With no choice but to shake his head, he turned towards the outside and left.
As old Jack left, within the smithy remained only the two people Tang San and Xiao Wu. Tang San did not open his mouth, then began tidying up the messy room, clearing away the room's different things.
Unusually, the ordinarily lively and energetic Xiao Wu right now kept silent, walking to Tang San's side, calmly helping him put various things away, and bringing scoops of fresh water from the water jar outside, helping him wipe the dirt within the room.
...
Nuoding primary spirit master academy.
Grandmaster was in his room reading. Little San having returned home, his heart was empty. Knowing him for a year's time, even though he never said so aloud, but his attachment to this child constantly deepened.
Until this morning when Tang San left, he still hesitated whether to go to his home to have a look. Finally Grandmaster still vetoed this notion of his. There were very many reasons, even to the extent that including himself was unable to explain clearly.
Peng, peng, peng, at this time, a knocking sound suddenly rose.
Grandmaster's brows knitted, normally besides Tang San, there were basically no people that would come here.
"Please come in."
Grandmaster put down the book in his hand, speaking coolly.
Opening the door, a large figure entered from outside. He wore a simple grey robe, messy black hair hanging loosely down to the shoulder, hoary face carved full of the vicissitudes of life, a pair of muddy eyes as if already like a candle guttering in the wind, his appearance didn't at all correspond to his fifty or so years of age.
"Hello, Grandmaster."
The visitor's voice was deep and hoarse.
No knowing why, when this person entered the door, Grandmaster's entire body subconsciously tensed, even unconsciously spreading spirit power all over his body.
"You are?"
Slowly standing up, Grandmaster's eyes revealed some uncertainty.
The grey clad person coolly said:
"Speaking of, we should not have met for twenty years, right. With this current appearance of mine, it's no wonder you do not recognize me. I'm Tang Hao."
"Tang Hao?"
Grandmaster's 'old well makes no waves' expression suddenly changed greatly, eyes focusing in practically an instant, rigidly staring at this person before him, both hands clutching the table, fingers already becoming pale,
"You-, you are Hao..."
Tang Hao waved his hand, stopping Grandmaster from speaking, coldly saying:
"Past titles need not be brought up again. In those days, for however many reasons, other people would perhaps consider you as only a madman, but I know you are a persistent person."
Grandmaster gradually calmed down, rigid face somewhat affected at once,
"It seems as if my conjecture was not mistaken, as expected you are Tang San's father. He already returned home, why would you be here?"
Tang Hao lowered his head, coolly saying:
"Precisely because he returned home, I would be here. I know you accepted him as apprentice. As father, I should have come to see you long ago. I must leave, my only worry is just him, therefore, I hope to entrust little San to you."
"You must leave? Go where? He is your son."
Grandmaster glared rigidly at Tang Hao, the expression in his eyes somewhat fierce.
Tang Hao still had a cold appearance,
"He is still your disciple. I have to leave, there are very many matters that are necessary to attend to. Following me, he cannot obtain happiness. I have no other requests, his life, he must choose by himself. Ten years, I have already left this world for ten years, by now he has already grown up, so I have some business that I have to deal with."
Grandmaster drew a long breath,
"I do not know what happened to you, but, I can see little San is very reluctant to part from you, you do not feel that this kind of departure is too cruel to him?"
Tang Hao coolly said:
"He decided on his own to walk an extraordinary path; being together with me would be cruel to him. Well, I've said what I had to say, no matter when, please remember, he is my son."
Having said this, Tang Hao waved his raised hand, a jet-black token tile dropped onto Grandmaster's desk with a clanking sound, the token tile was impressively similar to the one Grandmaster originally brought with Tang San to enter Spirit Hunting Forest, only, in this token tile's pattern were all six...
