Chapter 753: Chapter 753: Choose One Person!

"Mom and Dad, your child has been unfilial!" Tang Zhong cried out on his knees.

On his way, he had thought many times about what the first words he would say to his parents, once they regained the ability to speak. What would they be?

He had imagined more celebratory words, like congratulations.

And he had replayed the scenario countless times in his mind, but at this moment, he felt out of control, not knowing what to say anymore.

All that filled his heart was guilt.

Eleven years had passed, his parents trapped and mute for eleven years, but now, they finally recovered.

He, their son, had made his parents wait for eleven years.

To Tang Zhong, this was his failure in filial duty!

It was his fault.

And today, he had finally achieved it.

At this moment, Tang Xinglou, with tears welling up in his eyes, didn’t know where to begin speaking.

He had thought that regaining his speech was something that could only occur in his dreams, but it had happened today; he had recovered.

More importantly, everything had been helped along by his own son.

"Little Zhong!" Tang Xinglou started.

"Dad!" Tang Zhong responded.

"My son!" Tang Xinglou couldn’t help wanting to call out this term of endearment repeatedly because he hadn’t been able to say it for eleven years.

"It is my fault for making you suffer!" Tang Zhong said.

"Not at all... You have not made us suffer!" Tang Xinglou spoke with a smile, enjoying this feeling, looking at his son and conversing with him—scenes he thought belonged only in dreams.

At this moment, looking at Tang Zhong, Tang Xinglou was exceptionally excited, an excitement unlike any he had felt before.

As a father, he couldn’t think of any words to praise Tang Zhong; he had always been a strict father, with a habit of scolding his children regardless of their achievements, but now, he couldn’t muster a single reprimand for Tang Zhong—his child was just too outstanding.

Jiang Shuiyue stepped forward, holding Tang Zhong tightly. A loving mother’s favorite thing is to embrace her child and never let go.

"Mom!" Tang Zhong said.

Just one word, "Mom," instantly brought tears streaming down Jiang Shuiyue’s face.

"Ah..."

She had heard Tang Zhong call her mom before, but at that time, she couldn’t speak, and now, she could.

"My dear child!" Jiang Shuiyue held Tang Zhong tightly in her arms, not letting go.

"You’ve done very well!"

Tang Zhong beamed with a radiant smile.

This scene was indeed as beautiful as he had imagined.

It had been a long time since their family had experienced such a moment together.

Now, in the little courtyard, they opened the floodgates of conversation.

The Tang Zhong of today was no longer the indifferent Tang Tiansha, but a good child in the eyes of his parents.

Thus they started talking about things from eleven years past.

Tang Zhong began to recount the past to his parents.

His past.

Following his parents’ advice, he left the Tang Family and had been wandering ever since.

Later, he met a girl named Xia Yuqing. They rose from the midst of slaughter, starting with killing time on Si Bo Island, and later, due to being a native of Xuan Country, he got the opportunity to join Zhan Long. Eventually, he became part of Zhan Long.

Tang Zhong said.

Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue were quietly listening by his side, acting as silent audiences.

Meanwhile, outside the small courtyard.

Xia Yuqing arrived with her usual short haircut, coming over to visit the couple Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue.

Before she even entered, she heard a conversation from inside—it was Tang Zhong’s voice. Realizing he was talking about their story, she hid outside to eavesdrop. Although Tang Zhong had forgotten the promise he made to her at the beginning, she hadn’t forgotten. She would find an opportunity to remind him, but for now, she just wanted to hear what he was saying.

Tang Zhong and the couple Tang Xinglou had no idea Xia Yuqing was there.

Tang Zhong began to talk about his relationship with Jiang Weiwei, his voice becoming tender every time he mentioned her, saying that he initially intended to find Jiang Weiwei to call off their engagement, but unexpected events unfolded one after another.

Seeing Tang Zhong speak of Jiang Weiwei with such tenderness.

Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue exchanged glances, now having a clue in their hearts.

Xia Yuqing, who was eavesdropping outside, clenched her lips tightly, an unconscious wave of melancholy welling up as she heard Tang Zhong’s words.

She thought about leaving, but she stayed put.

Meanwhile, Tang Zhong continued with his narration, moving on to the adventures in Xuanjing City, later being forced by Tang Ran to go to Si Bo Island, assuming the alias Tang Tiansha, storming Zhu Island City to slay Huang Qinglong, leading armies against Xuan Country, executing Tang Ran, topping the Master List as the first Grandmaster, and earning unparalleled praise from both the civil and military factions of Xuan Country, among other accomplishments he detailed.

Tang Zhong spoke as if narrating a legendary tale, spitting with enthusiasm, like a child boasting before his parents.

Tang Xinglou shook his head in disbelief, but the shock in his heart was known only to him, for he had seen on the news that the places Tang Zhong mentioned did indeed witness such events.

Jiang Shuiyue, like any mother, was especially worried whenever Tang Zhong talked about dangers.

Xia Yuqing, listening from outside, became completely stunned upon hearing Tang Zhong’s story, recalling the mysterious man she encountered at the foot of Nine Dragons Mountain—it was indeed Tang Tiansha. Unbelievably, it turned out that back then in Zhu Island City, she had almost crossed paths with Tang Zhong.

She felt it was time for her to show herself, hiding and listening wasn’t right, but just as she was about to step out, she was stopped by a sentence that made her stay and listen, more shocked than ever to realize that Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue could actually speak.

This must be Tang Zhong’s doing, but she was more curious about Tang Zhong’s response.

At that moment, Tang Zhong finished talking about his exploits.

Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue acted as if they heard none of it and looked at Tang Zhong with a mysterious air, asking, "Son, tell us the truth, out of all the girls we saw last time, which one do you actually want to marry?"

Tang Zhong, startled by this question, did not expect his parents to ask such a thing. He prepared to play dumb, "Dad, mom, why do you ask that? If there’s nothing else, I need to go!"

"No, you have to tell us. We actually like Xia Yuqing and Jiang Weiwei quite a bit. Look, Xia Yuqing is very sweet, she often comes to see us, and Jiang Weiwei, we like her too, she’s very delicate. But if you’re going to marry, you have to choose one, so you need to tell us!" Jiang Shuiyue said.

"This..." Tang Zhong didn’t know how to respond.

He thought of Xia Yuqing and Jiang Weiwei.

"Do I really need to answer?" Tang Zhong asked.

"Of course!" both Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue said together.

Xia Yuqing, overhearing this, was also excited to know the outcome.

"Alright, if I truly have to choose someone, I choose Jiang Weiwei!" Tang Zhong said without hesitation.

Tang Xinglou and Jiang Shuiyue hadn’t had the chance to react to this news when Xia Yuqing, who had been hiding outside, jumped out upon hearing this.

"Tang Zhong, have you truly forgotten everything?"
