Chapter 64 The Trial of the God of Destruction.
Deng Mu scratched his head and laughed, saying, "It's nothing, just a few jokes. Maybe I made her a little embarrassed."
Jiang Nannan smiled without saying a word, listening to Deng Mu's words. She had always suspected that Wang Dong was actually a girl.
At first, she thought it was unlikely; how could Shrek Academy allow someone to dress as a boy? But when she saw Wang Dong interacting with her younger brother, and it didn't seem like a boy but a girl, she began to suspect that Wang Dong was a girl.
If Wang Dong wasn't a girl, it meant that her brother liked boys.
She absolutely wouldn't allow something like liking boys to happen, even if it meant being disliked by her brother. She would prevent it from happening.
At that time, she would personally make her dear brother like girls again.
Tang Ya glanced at Deng Mu, then at Jiang Nannan's thoughtful expression, and teased with a smile, "Nannan, what's wrong with you? Don't just ponder it to yourself, tell us!"
Jiang Nannan snapped out of her thoughts, looked at Tang Ya, then at Deng Mu, and coughed lightly, saying, "Nothing, just thinking nonsense. Xiao Ya, let's hurry home. It's been so long since I've been back, I'm really homesick."
With that, she quickened her pace and took a few steps forward.
She couldn't possibly voice her thoughts now.
If Wang Dong really was a girl, wouldn't it be a misunderstanding?
As for how many girls liked Deng Mu, she didn't care much. Even if Deng Mu married several wives in the future, it wouldn't be a problem.
Those noble soul masters in Beicheng mostly had three wives and four concubines; her brother was no less capable than those noble soul masters, and he would definitely marry several in the future.
Although Deng Mu found Jiang Nannan's reaction a bit strange, he didn't think much of it and quickened his pace, echoing Tang Ya's words.
However, Jiang Nannan was still thinking about Wang Dong, secretly resolving to find a suitable opportunity to confirm whether Wang Dong was actually a girl.
She couldn't let her younger brother go down the wrong path of liking boys; she had to be careful about his romantic relationships.
Along the way, Tang Ya chattered away like a cheerful bird, sharing interesting stories from the academy, trying to liven up the atmosphere. Deng Mu occasionally chimed in, a smile on his face.
Only Jiang Nannan, seemingly joining in the laughter, was actually distracted, her mind preoccupied with figuring out how to verify Wang Dong's gender.
Upon arriving outside the academy, Deng Mu and Tang Ya boarded a carriage and headed towards the North City.
Tang Ya continued enthusiastically recounting the fun things at the academy, her animated gestures making Deng Mu laugh heartily.
Jiang Nannan, however, only occasionally gave perfunctory responses, her mind entirely focused on Wang Dong.
Seeing Jiang Nannan lost in thought, Deng Mu gently patted her shoulder. "What are you thinking about, sister? You're so engrossed. Even Xiaoya's jokes aren't making you laugh."
Jiang Nannan snapped out of her reverie and quickly forced a smile. "Nothing, I'm just a little tired. You guys keep chatting."
Tang Ya blinked, leaned closer to Jiang Nannan, and whispered, "Nannan, you must have something on your mind. Don't hide it. Tell us and we'll help you figure it out."
Jiang Nannan waved her hands repeatedly. "It's really nothing serious. Don't guess. I'm a little tired and I'm going to rest for a bit."
After saying that, she leaned against the carriage wall, closed her eyes, and pretended to doze off, but in her mind, she was still pondering how to confirm Wang Dong's gender.
Seeing Jiang Nannan resting, Tang Ya was a little puzzled. How could Jiang Nannan be tired so quickly?
Tang Ya leaned closer to Deng Mu and whispered, "Xiao Mu, did you upset Nannan?"
Deng Mu waved his hand innocently, "No, Sister Xiaoya, I don't know what's wrong with Sister Nannan. She's been a little absent-minded since just now. I asked her, and she said she was a little tired."
Tang Ya frowned, tilting her head slightly in thought, "Something's not right. Nannan doesn't usually get tired so easily. She must be hiding something from us."
Deng Mu scratched his head, also finding it strange, "Why don't we ask her again when she wakes up? Maybe she'll be willing to tell us after resting for a while."
Tang Ya nodded gently, "That's the only way. I hope it's not something bad."
After saying that, she stopped talking and quietly watched the scenery outside the window receding, still pondering why Jiang Nannan was behaving strangely.
After the carriage left Shrek City, a ray of black light appeared in the sky and flew quickly towards Deng Mu's carriage.
This ray of black light passed through the carriage and entered Deng Mu's body.
[Test: Kill five evil soul masters within one year. The strength of the five evil soul masters is unlimited.]
"Huh?!"
Deng Mu was stunned as he looked at the words that appeared before him.
When had he attracted the attention of the God of Destruction, and why had the God of Destruction chosen him?
Because he carried Tang San's aura, logically speaking, the God of Destruction shouldn't have chosen him. Moreover, given the relationship between the God of Destruction and the Goddess of Life, they would choose a married couple to receive their inheritance.
So there's only one possibility: Tang San schemed against the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, making them choose him.
Thinking about it carefully, this is indeed possible.
Tang San is a patriarchal guy. If Tang San truly cared for his daughter, helping her obtain a first-level godhood wouldn't have been difficult, and he wouldn't have used Tang Wutong to win over Huo Yuhao.
Now that Tang San's power is unusable, coupled with the sudden appearance of this "illegitimate son," and the fact that he's the "eldest son," Tang San will definitely do everything in his power to nurture him.
It's estimated that Tang San started with the Goddess of Life, using her to make the God of Destruction consider giving him his inheritance.
However, before that, they need to test him to ensure they aren't Tang San's people.
Tang Ya looked at the somewhat surprised Deng Mu and asked, "Xiao Mu, what's wrong?"
Deng Mu shook his head, snapping out of his reverie, "Nothing, Sister Xiao Ya." He couldn't reveal the test yet. Although he trusted Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, he didn't want them to worry.
In their eyes, he was just a weak support-type Soul Master, how could he possibly complete the task of killing five evil Soul Masters in a year?
Although Deng Mu said he was fine, the fleeting seriousness on his face didn't escape Tang Ya's notice.
Tang Ya frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy, but seeing that Deng Mu didn't want to elaborate, she didn't press him further, only keeping a watchful eye on him.
Jiang Nannan wasn't paying attention to Deng Mu's subtle abnormality at the moment; she was still thinking about how to find an opportunity to confirm Wang Dong's gender after returning to the academy.
"It's good that you're alright. I thought something serious had happened."
