What It Means for Master and Disciple to Look Alike

Xiao Wu held her face up just like that.

She stared blankly at the fierce-looking Yu Xiaogang.

Although Su Mu didn't want to bother with Yu Xiaogang,

he had kept an eye on his movements all along,

in case he tried a sneak attack.

But he hadn't expected the old fellow to do something like this.

He could actually bring himself to hit a little girl!

Just as the slap was about to land squarely on Xiao Wu's face,

Su Mu covered three steps in two, moving with incredible speed.

He grabbed Xiao Wu and pulled her aside.

Yu Xiaogang had put so much force into the blow that he couldn't stop himself in time.

Smack!

The thick stone slabs on the ground cracked under his palm.

Ouch, that really had to hurt, Su Mu thought as he looked at the cracked floor.

He wondered whether Gangzi's face was red from pain or anger.

"Brat!"

"I didn't come looking for trouble with you, yet you had to stick your nose in!"

Yu Xiaogang got to his feet and glared at Su Mu, his face flushed red.

"You dared to strike at me."

"But you don't dare strike at this old man?"

Ignoring Yu Xiaogang, Su Mu looked at Xiao Wu beside him and spoke teasingly.

"He's no good, but you're even worse! Pervert!"

"Don't think I'll forgive you just because you helped me."

Xiao Wu puffed up her cheeks as she spoke.

"Talk about mistaking a kind heart for a donkey's liver and lungs!"

"You're an ungrateful wretch."

As he spoke, Su Mu raised his hand and smacked Xiao Wu twice on the head.

It hurt, but Xiao Wu dared only to be angry, not to speak. She raised her hand and rubbed the spot where he'd hit her.

Seeing Su Mu ignore him outright and joke with the little girl,

Yu Xiaogang felt insulted.

He might be trash, but was he really going to let a child bully him?

"Come out, Luo Sanpao!"

As his voice fell, a purple-skinned dog appeared beside Yu Xiaogang.

Two yellow Soul Rings slowly emerged as well.

When the onlookers around them saw this,

they all moved far away.

They looked at Su Mu and Xiao Wu with pity.

"Young man, this had nothing to do with you in the first place."

"Hurry and apologize to the Lord Soul Master, then leave."

"Lord Soul Master, this is just a quarrel between children. Please calm down."

The barbecue shop owner hurried out to persuade them.

The owner wanted to leave too, but unfortunately, this was right outside his shop.

The monk might run away, but the temple couldn't.

If his shop ended up damaged, he'd have nowhere to seek justice.

Su Mu smiled at the shop owner.

He shook his head.

The owner sighed and said no more.

Su Mu, on the other hand, was quite interested in Luo Sanpao.

He wondered whether his Three-Headed Flood Dragon could eat him.

"Brat!"

"I don't care who you are!"

"Today, I'll teach you a proper lesson in your parents' place!"

"I'll show you that young people shouldn't be so hot-blooded!"

Su Mu's unconcerned expression enraged Yu Xiaogang again.

"Farts like thunder—Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao!"

As Yu Xiaogang's First Soul Ring lit up,

the purple-skinned dog Luo Sanpao bared his teeth

and charged straight at Su Mu.

"This doesn't concern you. Hurry and go!"

Xiao Wu shoved Su Mu and prepared to attack.

Su Mu hadn't expected Xiao Wu to say that.

Then again, the current Xiao Wu hadn't yet been influenced by Tang San.

Come to think of it, her thinking was still relatively normal.

Seeing the purple-skinned dog draw closer and closer, while Su Mu still hadn't moved his feet,

Xiao Wu grew anxious.

She shoved Su Mu again.

Su Mu grinned at Xiao Wu.

Little rabbit, are you looking down on me, your great master?

Then let me show you just how magnificent your future host is.

He half-closed his right hand, and the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade appeared in it.

Su Mu bent low and leaped, bringing his blade down on Luo Sanpao.

Both Luo Sanpao and Su Mu were momentarily stunned.

I paused so I could swing a second time.

Why did you pause?

Su Mu gave a wicked smile. Before Luo Sanpao could react, the second blow came down.

The third blow.

When the fifth blow fell, Luo Sanpao was like a ball.

The strike sent him rolling back to Yu Xiaogang's feet.

So weak.

He couldn't even withstand the fifth blow.

Su Mu grumbled as he looked at Luo Sanpao lying listlessly by Yu Xiaogang's feet.

"Sanpao!"

Yu Xiaogang cried out in alarm.

He hurriedly crouched down and gathered Luo Sanpao into his arms.

"Brat!"

"Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care whose family you belong to!"

"Today, you stood by and watched my disciple die without helping, then humiliated me in every way!"

"It seems I, the 'Golden Iron Triangle,' have been silent for too long!"

Su Mu couldn't stand watching anymore.

If you could fight, there was no need to run your mouth.

If you could get the old ancestor to help you take revenge, there was no need to ask the second ancestor.

Su Mu dashed up to Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was startled.

He was about to say something else.

Smack!

A crisp slap rang out.

Yu Xiaogang was slapped straight to the ground.

Su Mu straddled Yu Xiaogang, raised his hand high, and muttered,

"That's for calling me brat!"

Smack!

"That's for saying my parents didn't teach me manners!"

Smack!

"That's for your 'Golden Iron Triangle'!"

Smack!

"That's for being silent too long!"

Smack!

When Xiao Wu saw this, a thought couldn't help arising in her heart.

This bad guy, this pervert, is actually kind of nice.

He didn't even hit me just now.

The barbecue shop owner standing nearby saw Su Mu take a moment to smile at him while slapping the Lord Soul Master on the ground, and his eyelid couldn't help twitching.

Su Mu had just found his rhythm and was slapping away with gusto

when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

The last time he'd felt this was earlier, when Golden Crocodile Douluo had been staring at him.

Oh no, could Tang Hao be here?

Surely that guy wouldn't step in for Yu Xiaogang?

He looked at Yu Xiaogang's face, which was now even worse than Tang San's.

Su Mu stopped what he was doing, slowly stood up, and dusted off his hands.

As he was about to leave, Su Mu caught sight of something out of the corner of his eye.

Yu Xiaogang was actually squinting at him.

Wasn't he looking down on me?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

Su Mu turned and walked back.

Yu Xiaogang had just breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyelids were swollen and he could barely open them, but when he saw Su Mu turn back, his eyes filled with terror.

Smack!

"That's for squinting at me."

After that slap, Su Mu felt refreshed.

Even the Soul Power circulating in his body sped up considerably.

"I'm off, boss!"

"Here's the money for the meal."

As Su Mu passed the barbecue shop owner, he greeted him with a smile.

He took a Gold Soul Coin from the money pouch the Platinum Bishop of Spirit Hall had given him and flicked it over.

The barbecue shop owner caught it and looked. It was actually a Gold Soul Coin.

That was far too generous.

The owner was just about to thank him

when he heard Su Mu's next words.

"Two rabbits, one for three Copper Soul Coins and one for five Copper Soul Coins."

"Let's call it ten Copper Soul Coins. Keep the remaining nine Silver Soul Coins and ninety Copper Soul Coins on account for me."

"When I come back to eat, deduct it from that."

Hearing this, the barbecue shop owner curled his lip.

Fine, fine, fine. You really did the math carefully.

The stool broken earlier happened to cost exactly two Copper Soul Coins.

What Su Mu didn't see was

a figure suddenly flashing into sight beside Yu Xiaogang and vanishing again.

Please keep reading these next few days, every day. It's very important. I'm begging you, godfathers.
