7 Deducing Tang Hao’s identity (1/2)

Ryusei asked him, ”Is there a village nearby?” Tang San raised an eyebrow at his question as if he was surprised that Ryusei didn't know about the village.

He then said, ”The village nearest to this place is the Holy Spirit Village, I am also from that village.” He then asked in a cautious tone, ”Why are you here alone? Is there someone along with you?”

Ryusei got a weird feeling when Tang San asked him these questions, as if he wasn't as simple boy as he seemed because most of the young boys at 6 years of age will be naïve and wouldn't ask these questions to someone of their age.

His expression turned a bit sorrowful as he started speaking, ”I got separated from my big brother and I was thinking if I could go in the nearest village and search for him. I am really scared right now and want to find my big brother soon.”

Tang San was still a bit sceptical and nodded and started leading the way to the Holy Spirit Village. While they were walking, Ryusei observed that while walking, Tang San's footsteps almost didn't have any sound, even with his enhanced senses, he could only faintly hear his footsteps.

He deduced in his thoughts 'This boy is either being trained by a good Ninja or his talent as a Ninja goes beyond anything I can imagine. The chances for the later happening are really less so he should be trained by some good Ninja. That would explain the martial arts that he was practising earlier.'

He followed him towards his house and heard him call out to his father, ”Father, I have brought someone home. He lost his big brother and is looking for him.” Tang San's father was a middle-aged man. His stature was extraordinarily large. His eyes had a sleepy and dazed look. He had messy hair that looked just like a bird's nest and a beard that grew out.

Tang San's father got up from his bed and looked towards him and said in a gruff voice, ”Kid, where did you lose your brother?” Ryusei said in a scared and low voice, ”I don't remember, I was separated from my big brother and I thought that maybe I could find about him in the nearby village.”

Tang San's father raised his eyebrow at his reason and then said, ”I am Tang Hao and he is my son Tang San, you can stay with us for some time. Maybe your big brother will come to this village to search you tomorrow or within this week. Is it alright…”

Ryusei remembered that he didn't introduce to him and continued, ”Long Tian. My name is Long Tian. 'Long' for Dragon and Tian for 'Heavenly' so it is Heavenly Dragon.” Tang Hao nodded and said, ”Then you can stay with us for some time Long Tian.”

Ryusei nodded and went near a chair and sat on it. He sat on it and started thinking about a thing which bugged him, he thought 'Why does Tang Hao seems to have no Spirit Energy around him, even an ordinary man will have some Spirit Energy around him even if he can't absorb it, it's always in the surrounding but in his case it's like there is no Spirit Energy or he is suppressing it so much that others can't detect it.'

'But, why, from the state of this house, it's as if he is only an ordinary blacksmith with a lazy motivation to do anything, and the next big question, if his Spirit Rank is so high that he is able to suppress his Spirit Power to such an extent then why, why is he living like this?'

'He should have some aspirations, some dreams to fulfil not for himself but for his son, or does he not care about him. But that does not seem to be the case as Tang San cares about him so he definitely doesn't hate Tang San. Then what could be the reason?'

'And the next big thing, this name Tang Hao, it matches the name of the Clear Sky Douluo, Tang Hao, the man who fought against three Titled Douluo just after becoming a Titled Douluo and managed to severely injure one while killing the other. He was the man to have severely injured the previous Supreme Pontiff, mother told me such things about him.'
