”I see your point, and it reminded me of something that I wanted to talk to you about. As you said, our original intention in forming the S-Club was to facilitate the exchange of new ideas and not grabbing attention. Looking at our club today, it seems to be heading in a different direction.

Wang Tong nodded.

”Ah...There is someone who insisted on seeing you—”

Before Zhou Sisi could finish her sentence, Wang Tong noticed a little head poking through the threshold: it was Bei Bei.

”Haha! Bei Bei, come —come!”

Having gotten the permission to enter, Bei Bei ran into the room with a skip in her steps.

”Uncle Wang Tong, you are the BEST!”

”Cough, cough... Call me brother. I'm not that old.”

Bei Bei was too young to see the humor in it, so she pulled an overwrought face and the rebutted, ”Mommy told me to call you that, saying that you are about the same age as daddy.”

”Ok... fine. I will be your ... uncle.” Wang Tong gave in.

The three girls laughed at Wang Tong's helpless face after watching the comical interaction.

In response to the girl's snickers, Wang Tong held Bei Bei's hand and started to introduce the ”aunties.” ”Come here Bei Bei. This is your aunt, Li Ruoer. She has a hot temper. Don't be like her when you grow up. ”

Li Ruoer closed into the little girl and said with a pleasant tone: ”Bei Bei, Call me sister. Do you think I am the same age as your mother?”

”Sister Li Ruoer is pretty. You are not...aunt.” Bei Bei was quick to pick up the cue and wiser in choosing the side.

”Follow me Bei Bei. I will give you candies and treats, but we won't give any to that old uncle. OK?”

”YAY! I like treats!”

It suddenly occurred to Wang Tong that he still had no clue why the little girl would show up in his room, so he asked. ”Bei Bei, did you come here by yourself?”

”No, mommy took me here.” Bei Bei said, her mouth half full with rice pudding.

”Principle Samantha invited Bei Bei and her mother to cheer for you.” Zhou Sisi explained.

”That's very nice of her. How is she doing?” Wang Tong asked.

”Very busy! She has been elected as the Earth Councilor, and she still needs to look after the school. She is such a doer. I don't think I could do those many things at once.”

”That's good. She has finally reached her goal.” Wang Tong exclaimed.

Wang Tong fed puddings to the little girl and tried to get as much information from her about Jansining and other comrades as possible.

The conversation brought out Wang Tong's memories of the days he had spent on Norton with his beloved comrades, and that love-defining moment when he held the dying Ma Xiaoru close to his body. He didn't notice when his eyes glazed over. The couple locked each other's eyes in a knowing and loving gaze.

”I can't stand you two!” Li Ruoer couldn't bear the couple's public affection, so she stormed out of the room.

A few minutes later, the doctor came and cleared the room. When Wang Tong was alone by himself again, a mix of nostalgia and accomplishment came over him.

There was no doubt that Patroclus was a stronger warrior than him. However, strength and power alone did not dictate the outcome of the match, where Wang Tong's will and adaptive strategy triumphed. After the tournament, Wang Tong had seen a new field where he could cultivate, and learned much more about his power than he ever would, particularly regarding his Soul Essence.

”Thank you, Mr. Wannabe. I really appreciate your help.”
