Utterly Disgraced, Was Tang San the Son of Tang Hao?
Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbstruck.
He had never imagined that everything from back then would be revealed.
What he understood even less was how Chu Xuan knew so much.
It was all top secret.
Much of it was known only to Yu Xiaogang himself.
What kind of devil was this young man?
The people at the academy gates were utterly stunned.
But soon, someone began talking.
They spoke of the announcements Spirit Hall had made earlier.
There had been two announcements, and one concerned Yu Xiaogang.
"Back then, Yu Xiaogang deceived Bibi Dong, who was the Holy Maiden at the time, and stole a huge amount of material from the Spirit Hall library!"
"He never had any real ability. Those so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul were all taken from other people's work!"
"That old scumbag lived up to his reputation. How despicable!"
The people around him pointed and whispered, and Yu Xiaogang nearly buried his head in the ground.
He was finished, utterly and completely finished.
From this moment on, he would have no reputation left to speak of.
The words "utterly disgraced" were branded onto him.
Chu Xuan watched him with interest. What would this fellow do next?
Would he argue his case, or obediently accept his fate?
He probably would not give up so easily.
But that would also depend on how Bibi Dong handled it.
Hearing Chu Xuan's instructions, Bibi Dong immediately said, "Yu Xiaogang has behaved improperly and should stand trial."
"Take him back to Spirit Hall and interrogate him thoroughly!"
"Yes!"
Two Spirit Hall experts promptly hauled Yu Xiaogang to his feet and took him straight to Spirit Hall.
The others who saw it did not think it excessive.
After all the disgusting things he had done, the greatest injustice would have been if he had gone unpunished.
"God Child, should we return to Spirit Hall first, or...?"
Bibi Dong lowered her voice. The God Child's identity could not be revealed yet.
"Let's head back first, then."
Chu Xuan smiled. That had been quite a show.
Yu Xiaogang had been utterly disgraced, and now he would be punished.
After that combination of blows, Tang San had lost a beloved teacher.
His future cultivation and such would surely face a major setback.
Without Yu Xiaogang's help, Tang San's growth would slow.
Just as they were about to board the carriage, the academy head hurried over with the director.
"Your Holiness, we had no idea Yu Xiaogang was this kind of person. We're terribly sorry, terribly sorry."
The academy head was drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked through.
Yu Xiaogang had been at his academy and even held the title of teacher.
If Bibi Dong held the academy accountable, how could it possibly come out unscathed?
That was what he feared most.
A mere Nuoding Academy could never withstand Spirit Hall's wrath.
Bibi Dong glanced at him but did not answer.
Chu Xuan said, "This matter has nothing to do with Nuoding Academy. Continue teaching as you always have."
With that, he boarded the carriage, and Bibi Dong followed.
Only after Spirit Hall's convoy had gone far away did the academy head breathe a sigh of relief.
"From this moment on, Yu Xiaogang is no longer a teacher at the academy. He is permanently forbidden from entering!"
The academy head gave the order himself.
Although Yu Xiaogang had been his friend for many years, when disaster struck, each bird flew its own way.
He had let Yu Xiaogang eat and drink for free at the academy all these years mainly because he valued his abilities.
But now it had been exposed that Yu Xiaogang had no real talent or learning, and that his material had all been stolen from the Spirit Hall library. Why be polite to him anymore?
The academy head even thought it was no wonder Yu Xiaogang had eaten and drunk for free all those years.
How could a man with no real ability dare to teach?
Tang San's success was mainly due to his own abilities.
With a student of exceptional talent, even a pig could teach them to soar.
Xiao Wu was proof enough. She was also highly talented, but she did not train under Yu Xiaogang, and she had still reached level twenty-nine in Soul Power.
According to Yu Xiaogang, Tang San's talent surpassed even Xiao Wu's.
The director was greatly relieved to hear him give that order.
The academy head had finally seen the light.
Yu Xiaogang was nothing but trash.
Many teachers had complained over the years.
Now they could finally get rid of the fellow.
Though whether he could leave Spirit Hall alive remained to be seen.
But he certainly would not be able to return to the academy.
In the carriage, Bibi Dong wore a grave expression, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Xuan found a comfortable position and half reclined.
The Pope's carriage really was comfortable. He could not even feel the slightest jolt.
Bibi Dong said, "The intelligence my subordinates sent me mentioned someone: Yu Xiaogang's disciple, Tang San."
"There's something strange about Tang San. His talent is excellent, but his Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass. It's truly odd."
"I suspect he has Twin Martial Souls!"
"And that he's Tang Hao's son!"
To Spirit Hall now, the words "Tang Hao's son" were an immense pressure, a sharp sword hanging over its head.
Chu Xuan had said that Tang Hao's son would destroy Spirit Hall.
So finding Tang Hao's son was crucial.
Judging by his age, Yu Xiaogang's disciple could very well be Tang Hao's son.
After all, that bastard Yu Xiaogang would surely target Spirit Hall, so it was entirely possible he had joined forces with Tang Hao.
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow. "Very clever."
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply. Was he admitting it?
Sure enough, Tang San was Tang Hao's son, the one who would destroy Spirit Hall in the future.
And that fellow Yu Xiaogang truly deserved to die ten thousand deaths.
Wasn't he raising Tang Hao's son precisely to oppose Spirit Hall?
Now they finally had another charge against him, giving them better grounds to punish Yu Xiaogang.
When they returned to the main hall of the Spirit Hall Branch, Yu Xiaogang had already been brought in and forced to his knees, hands pressing down on his shoulders.
He raised his head and stared in surprise at Chu Xuan, who was sitting on the throne.
"Is this your son?"
He had clearly gotten the wrong idea.
He had not expected Bibi Dong to have a son after all these years apart.
And she doted on him so much that she had even let him sit on the all-important throne.
Why?
It had only been a few years, yet she had gotten together with someone else?
All that so-called love they once shared had been a lie, all of it!
Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly.
"How dare you!"
She slapped him from a distance, knocking several teeth out of Yu Xiaogang's mouth.
He did not have many teeth left now.
Chrysanthemum Douluo held down Yu Xiaogang, who had nearly been sent flying, his fingers almost digging into the man's shoulders.
His eyes brimmed with killing intent.
Slandering the Pope and the God Child?
This old piece of trash truly deserved to die.
Bibi Dong felt a little panicked. She stole a glance at Chu Xuan and only relaxed slightly when she saw that he was not angry.
If Chu Xuan got angry, she felt she would have trouble handling it.
Chu Xuan held the highest status in all of Spirit Hall.
The gods stood behind him.
At the slightest mishap, the gods might all come rushing down.
This fellow was practically a walking god summoner.
"Yu Xiaogang, if you spout any more nonsense, I'll kill you!"
Bibi Dong's voice was cold and sharp as she released nine Soul Rings.
Under the pressure of a Titled Douluo, Yu Xiaogang's bones cracked and popped, as though they were about to be crushed.
"Now, let's talk about how to punish this fellow."
Chu Xuan waved his hand, and only then did Bibi Dong withdraw her pressure.
"Yu Xiaogang, do you admit your crimes?"
The interrogation had to be handled properly. They had to satisfy the God Child!
