Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 21 Dancing in the Sky: You Choose One?
Aolai City, Police Station.

A taxi came to a smooth stop at the entrance, the door opened, and a boy of about ten years old stepped out.

"Thank you, master!"

After paying the fare, Jiang Yi turned around and walked quickly toward the police station.

Although Wu Changkong did not explain the reason on the phone, Aolaicheng immediately guessed that Tang Wuling was in trouble.

"Hello! I have a question..."

Jiang Yi walked into the police station lobby, looked around but did not see Wu Changkong, so he went to the front desk to ask.

"He's over there in the interrogation room."

Upon hearing this, the receptionist pointed to a room in the corner.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Yi nodded, turned around, and walked over there.

As soon as Jiang Yi pushed open the door to the interrogation room, he saw Wu Changkong coming to greet him.

He was dressed in white as always, but his usually stern face was more serious than usual.

"You came!"

Wu Changkong's voice remained cold and clear, but it subtly softened.

"teacher!"

Jiang Yi nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze passing over Wu Changkong and landing on the blonde girl curled up in the chair.

Tang Wuling was hugging her knees, burying her face in her arms, as if her soul had been taken away, and she didn't even notice him coming in.

"Teacher, what happened?"

Jiang Yi lowered his voice and asked, glancing at Tang Wuling over there.

"There's been a murder, but I'll handle it! Go check on her first."

Wu Changkong gave a brief explanation, and then his gaze fell on Tang Wuling.

This morning, he received a call from the Academic Affairs Office and rushed over immediately.

But by the time he arrived, Tang Wuling had already fallen into a state of self-isolation, so how could he possibly comfort her?
Back in the day with Long Bing, he was the one being flirted with...

Since Tang Wuling's parents could not be contacted, Wu Changkong thought of asking Jiang Yi to come over.

Among the students in Class 5, Jiang Yi and Tang Wuling were the closest.

"understand!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi nodded in understanding.

Wu Changkong was about to follow him inside when his communicator suddenly lit up.

He took out his communicator, saw the familiar caller ID, and his brows quietly relaxed.

"Little Changkong! I found what you wanted. That guy really deserves to die..."

After the call connected, a slightly teasing voice came from the other end of the communicator, but it turned cold towards the end, as if the speaker was suppressing their anger.

"Okay! Thank you!"

Wu Changkong nodded and thanked the person on the other end.

"It's nothing! We've done a service to the people."

The man's voice on the communicator paused, then changed the subject.
"However, if you are truly grateful, please be sure to introduce that young girl to our Tang Clan."

Upon hearing this, Wu Changkong raised his eyebrows slightly. This unserious guy actually had such a high opinion of Tang Wuling?

In his memory, among the four, Tang Wuling had the worst talent. Her only advantage was her diligence, plus her special advantage in her soul skills.

"Haha! You might find this a bit strange, but you'll understand once you watch the video I sent you."

"Alright! Xiao Changkong, remember to come over and visit sometime. I have something to do, so I'll hang up now."

A man's laughter came through the communicator, and then the other party hung up.

Not long after, Wu Changkong received a video and a file from the man.

"This is……"

Wu Changkong opened the video, which showed the scene of Tang Wuling's attack that morning.

He looked at Tang Wuling's rampaging figure, which resembled a tyrannical dragon, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Is this the same shy girl I usually see?
Bloodline evolution? Or martial soul mutation?

Wu Changkong pondered these questions, but he quickly put them aside and turned to look at another file. Now was not the time to think about these things.

"Hmph! He deserves to die!"

Wu Changkong glanced at it quickly, and a rare hint of anger appeared on his usually cold face.

The bald man who died had been executed a year earlier for raping and murdering multiple underage girls.

Now look what's happened... haha!
Wu Changkong sneered and turned to walk towards the bureau chief's office. This bureau chief was the man's uncle; no wonder he hadn't been allowed to see the video footage before—they were in cahoots.

"what's up?"

Inside the office, a portly middle-aged man heard the noise, looked up, and had an unfriendly expression.

Who's so blind as to enter the boss's office without knocking?
But then, the middle-aged man saw that it was Wu Changkong, snorted coldly, and put on a righteous and awe-inspiring look.

"Hmph! No need for further words, a life for a life! Federal law cannot be trampled upon!"

A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. His sister only had one son, and now he was gone! How dare a mere commoner like him?

No matter what, the other party must pay the price today!

"Humph!"

Wu Changkong snorted coldly, too lazy to waste words with him, and threw the communicator onto the table.

Then, an icy blue light appeared on his body, transforming into an icy blue suit of armor, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the entire office.

Two-word battle armor, Heavenly Ice!
"Battle...Battle Armor Master?"

The middle-aged man trembled and said in disbelief.

Looking at the six spirit rings on Wu Changkong's body, the man trembled slightly, especially at the blue battle armor on the other party, which made him even more terrified.

A six-ring Soul Emperor! A Battle Armor Master!

That damned thing really got him into big trouble.

"Choose one?"

Holding the Heavenly Frost Sword, Wu Changkong spoke coldly to the terrified middle-aged man.

Release them? Or escalate the situation?

……

On the other side, in the interrogation room.

"Dance Spirit?"

Jiang Yi sat down beside the girl and called out softly.

On his forehead, a faint golden mark, unnoticed by anyone, glowed, emanating a warm and gentle aura.

As a direct descendant of the Sea God, Tang Wuling felt a natural affinity for this aura.

Sure enough, under the influence of this gentle aura, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in Tang Wuling's empty eyes.

"Jiang Yi!"

Tang Wuling looked up and saw a familiar figure. She suddenly threw herself into his arms, her voice trembling with tears.

The girl buried her face in his chest, greedily inhaling his reassuring breath, and her trembling body slowly calmed down.

"It's alright! It's all over now."

Although Jiang Yi didn't know what Tang Wuling had gone through, he still comforted her softly, gently patting her back with his palm.

"Waaaaah! My mom and dad don't want me anymore..."

The girl buried her face in Jiang Yi's chest, tears streaming down her face. Her anxious heart seemed to have found solace, and she poured out all the grievances in her heart.

Jiang Yi held the girl in his arms, listening quietly, and gradually understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Tang Wuling did not visit Mang Tian first, and therefore did not receive news of her parents' departure.

A nine-year-old girl returned home happily, only to be met with the devastating news that her parents had disappeared. Naturally, she found it hard to accept.

"How could that be? Your aunt and uncle probably just had something to do and didn't have time to tell you."

Jiang Yi gently comforted her, reaching out to wipe away the tears on her face.

"really?"

Tang Wuling raised her swollen eyes, her voice carrying the last glimmer of hope.

"Of course it's true." Jiang Yi smiled warmly. "Wuling is so cute, how could your uncle and aunt bear to leave you?"

"No, I didn't..."

A blush rose on the girl's pale face, and she buried her head in his chest again.

This embrace seemed to have a magical power, giving her a complete sense of security, which she cherished.

Jiang Yi, unaware of the girl's thoughts, continued speaking.

"Do your uncle and aunt have any close friends who might leave you some information there?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Wuling's face showed a thoughtful expression. After venting the emotions that had been building up inside her, she calmed down considerably.

"If there is one... it must be with Teacher Mangtian!"
