Tang San Agrees to Join Spirit Hall
Xiao Wu had been about to run away, but after hearing what Yu Xiaogang said, she stopped and looked at him curiously.
"Oh? You know, then?"
Hearing that, Yu Xiaogang smiled proudly, only to pull at the wounds on his face and grimace in pain for a good while. It took him some time to recover before he could speak.
"Of course I do!"
"After all, I'm a teacher at this school. Naturally, I know."
Qian Renxue had humiliated him earlier, and given Yu Xiaogang's personality, he had of course held a grudge.
As soon as he got back, he had called on his connections, hoping to learn the newcomer's identity.
But the result had left Yu Xiaogang somewhat shocked. Qian Renxue's identity was so mysterious that even the academy head knew nothing about it, only that she had ties to Spirit Hall.
After learning this, Yu Xiaogang understood why his token hadn't scared Qian Renxue.
He reckoned Qian Renxue's parents had also met with elders and knew what real elders were like.
After learning this, Yu Xiaogang didn't have the nerve to trouble Qian Renxue to her face, but he had plenty of nerve to trip her up behind her back.
With that thought, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered, and he said, "That new student is from Spirit Hall. She joined the academy this time to recruit Tang San."
The moment he finished speaking, Xiao Wu raised an eyebrow.
"Someone from Spirit Hall?"
She had no fondness for Spirit Hall.
As Xiao Wu saw it, everyone in Spirit Hall was a villain!
"Will Tang San agree?"
Xiao Wu asked somewhat anxiously. She didn't want Tang San to be spirited away by someone from who knew where.
Seeing how strongly she reacted, Yu Xiaogang chuckled inwardly. Got her.
Yu Xiaogang then continued to guide her along.
"Of course he will. Tang San is still a child, after all. He doesn't understand what's truly important, so it's only natural for him to be dazzled by Spirit Hall's power for a while."
"But as long as you take me as your master and study under me, your strength will definitely surpass Tang San's."
"Then, when Tang San realizes that joining Spirit Hall was no use after all, he'll naturally come back!"
All those words left Xiao Wu thoroughly confused, but her brain hadn't worked all that well to begin with. She actually nodded, accepting what Yu Xiaogang had said.
"I guess... that makes sense?"
Hearing that, Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed.
"Of course it makes sense! Take me as your master now, and once you graduate from Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, I'll take you to study at the best academy on the continent."
"With my teaching, your future will be limitless!"
With everything said, Xiao Wu nodded. "All right, then. From now on, you're my teacher!"
Yu Xiaogang burst out laughing, then painfully forced the corners of his mouth under control and clutched his backside, hurting terribly.
Behind them, Liu Tian was a little bewildered as he listened to their conversation.
"Teacher, what about me?"
Only then did Yu Xiaogang remember that he had just taken a disciple for nothing. He turned around and patted Liu Tian on the shoulder.
"Don't worry. You're also a disciple of me, the Grandmaster. Although your talent isn't as good as Xiao Wu's, you can still achieve something under my guidance."
Since he had already taken Liu Tian as his disciple, Yu Xiaogang couldn't very well ignore him outright, so he could only fob him off for now.
Liu Tian will also be just right for testing the validity of my Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul.
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and Qian Renxue walking out together and clenched his fists.
Tang San, I'll make you understand what a terrible mistake it was not to take me as your master!
Even Spirit Hall is absolutely no match for me, the Grandmaster, when it comes to theory!
As for that person who got in through connections, hmph, after some time has passed, I'll go find Bibi Dong myself. Since you called me someone who relies on connections, I'll show you how terrifying someone with connections can be!
Following his gaze, Xiao Wu also noticed Tang San and Qian Renxue leaving together, and her mood immediately sank a little.
She had wanted to go over and say something to Tang San, but after thinking it over, she stopped herself.
Her beautiful eyes rested on Tang San's retreating figure. Xiao Wu bit her lip, countless thoughts running through her mind.
The weak are prey to the strong. I knew that back when I was still a Soul Beast. Only by becoming strong can I have everything.
Just you wait, Little San. I'll prove my strength!
Outside Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, in a private room at a luxurious restaurant.
Only two people sat in the lavishly decorated room, yet the table was laden with dishes, a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate, their fragrance filling the air.
Looking at the dishes on the table, Tang San was so moved that he nearly shed tears.
Damn, having a rich woman backing me feels great.
For the past few years, a feast had been out of the question; even getting a full meal hadn't been easy.
Tang San didn't stand on ceremony and immediately dug in.
Seeing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help feeling sorry for him. "Slow down, or you'll choke," she said.
She poured Tang San a glass of water, and the more she watched him, the more sympathy she felt.
How much hardship must Tang San have suffered before to be driven to this state?
At the thought, Qian Renxue couldn't help marveling at Tang San's resilience.
Even under such circumstances, he had managed to become a God King and defeat the Spirit Hall Empire. It was truly remarkable.
No, I can't let Little San go on without anyone to rely on.
Qian Renxue stared at Tang San's profile and made up her mind.
She would take Tang San back to Spirit Hall and give him the best resources and the best environment.
In her previous life, even without her, Qian Renxue, by his side, Tang San had eventually reached the pinnacle.
How much more could he do with her help?
Thinking this, Qian Renxue's eyes flickered, and her red lips moved.
After laying the groundwork over the past few days, she also felt the time was about ripe.
It was time to get Tang San to join Spirit Hall and leave with her.
Staying in a lousy place like this was truly dull.
Qian Renxue looked at Tang San and spoke slowly.
"Little San, have you given any thought to joining Spirit Hall?"
"I've observed things these past few days. If you continue studying here, you'll only waste your talent."
"Come with me. I'll make sure you have the best cultivation resources and receive the best guidance."
When she finished speaking, Tang San stopped eating and immediately nodded.
"I've made up my mind."
"I'm willing to join Spirit Hall!"
Are you kidding? When it came to joining Spirit Hall, he couldn't wait to get there.
If he hadn't been unsure what Qian Renxue was thinking, Tang San would have asked her to take him there long ago.
An opportunity to break away from his original teammates had finally come along, and naturally, he wouldn't let it pass.
Hearing Tang San's answer, Qian Renxue was thrilled and pulled him into an embrace.
"Good!"
"Little San, you'll leave with me in a little while."
Tang San swallowed the food in his mouth. He wasn't as excited as Qian Renxue; after all, he was well aware of who he was.
I wonder how Bibi Dong will react when she finds out I've joined Spirit Hall.
