A Crooked Beam Makes a Crooked Rafter

Five hundred Gold Soul Coins to see someone's true colors was not a loss.

As for Yu Xiaogang wanting her to treat him, that would only happen when the sun rose in the west. Otherwise, there was no chance.

"Yu Xiaogang has a thick skin. If he harasses you, remember to tell me."

After the meal, Han Yu still had plenty of things to do, and Ye Lingling needed to return and recover her Soul Power.

When the two stepped out of the Private Room, they happened to see Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu, who was carrying a boxed meal.

"Yu Xiaogang, bringing food to your disciple?" Han Yu greeted him with a smile.

Seeing Ye Lingling beside him, Yu Xiaogang understood what was going on. "Hmph, Han Yu, Tang San is my disciple. It's not your place to interfere."

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang took out a somewhat worn book and tried to hand it to Ye Lingling.

"Teacher Ye, this book contains my theories. It will be of great help to your cultivation."

The most direct way for him to recruit Ye Lingling was to use his theories to win her over.

Afterward, Ye Lingling would be like Tang San, begging to become his disciple.

Yet after he held out the book for a moment, Ye Lingling showed no intention of taking it.

"Yu Xiaogang, you should go back and check on Tang San. As for your theories, hehe." With that, Han Yu and Ye Lingling walked past him.

They were all plagiarized theories anyway. What was there to read?

Still, there was one thing he had not plagiarized.

There were no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters. Wasn't that saying perfectly suited to him?

As for the future Tang San, without the support of the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, it was hard to say whether his Blue Silver Grass could even bind anyone.

"Han Yu, just you wait."

"If you want to debate, you're welcome anytime. But you'd better come prepared, lest I catch you plagiarizing." Han Yu did not turn around, merely speaking casually.

If Yu Xiaogang truly wanted to humiliate himself, Han Yu did not mind adding fuel to the fire.

At the word "plagiarizing," Yu Xiaogang's expression twisted.

His greatest pride was these theories he had stolen from Spirit Hall. If someone exposed them, he would truly become a laughingstock.

On the way, Ye Lingling asked, "Teacher Han, isn't Yu Xiaogang a little too petty? He has none of the bearing a teacher should have."

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Let him be. As for his theories, they're in the academy library. He shamelessly put them there himself, but everyone who has read them scoffs at them."

Tang San had simply never been exposed to Soul Master theory as a child. Then one day, someone told him all sorts of shocking things, so naturally he admired him to the point of complete devotion.

As for the matter of Twin Martial Souls, Yu Xiaogang had mostly been guessing. Even if he guessed wrong, a mere Blue Silver Grass Soul Master was not worthy of becoming his disciple anyway. It was only a matter of words, and he had nothing to lose.

Tang San was simply foolish enough to fall for his trap.

If Yu Xiaogang truly had any ability, after six years at Nuoding Academy, would Tang San not have wanted Xiao Wu to become his disciple?

And Xiao Wu, even by the Grand Finale, had never taken a master, had she?

She was, after all, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and knew most Soul Master theories. Yu Xiaogang had shamelessly claimed them as his own. There was no way she would take him as her master.

If not for Tang San's sake, Xiao Wu would probably have exposed him long ago.

Yu Xiaogang was nothing more than a guy who loved getting high on his own nonsense.

The night passed without incident, and in the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

After a night of rest, Tang San was finally able to get out of bed and walk.

However, whenever he cultivated his Soul Power, his meridians still ached faintly.

"Damn Han Yu, he must have done something!" Tang San said angrily.

After resting for the night, he had finally recalled what had happened the previous evening.

His assassination attempt had failed, yet he was now blaming the person he had tried to assassinate. How shameless could he be?

"Third Brother, Grandmaster said you still need Teacher Ye to treat you once more before you can fully recover." Xiao Wu stood beside him, concern in her eyes.

"Xiao Wu, I know where Teacher Ye lives. Do you want to come with me?" Tang San asked.

Since he had already decided to make Ye Lingling his teammate, Tang San knew there were some matters he needed to handle personally.

Xiao Wu thought about it. Class was boring anyway, so she might as well accompany Tang San and have some fun.

As for the work of the Work-Study Students, hehe, with their strength, they only needed to casually bully a few students around campus and someone would help clean up. Why would the two school bullies need to do it themselves?

Teacher Dormitory Area.

Ye Lingling tidied up her appearance and picked up her books, preparing to head to class.

Yet the moment she opened her door, Tang San and Xiao Wu were blocking the entrance.

"Tang San, what do you want?" Such rude behavior immediately made Ye Lingling feel disgusted.

Tang San smiled faintly. "Teacher Ye, my injuries haven't recovered. I still need you to treat me."

Ye Lingling frowned slightly.

Yu Xiaogang was thick-skinned, and his student was thick-skinned too. Like master, like disciple.

"Student Tang San, I still need to teach. Find someone else." With that, Ye Lingling walked past Tang San and headed toward the teaching building.

Tang San paused slightly, then followed her. "Teacher Ye, my teacher said you're very young. If you remain here, your future achievements will be limited. He wants to invite you to attend Shrek Academy with Xiao Wu and me."

"Not interested."

Were they even that close? Yu Xiaogang was already arranging this and that for her.

But Tang San assumed he had not explained the key point, so he continued, "Teacher Ye, Shrek Academy only accepts geniuses. Moreover, its most outstanding senior student is now Spirit Hall's youngest elder."

Ye Lingling's expression froze.

A Spirit Hall elder carried considerable weight.

After her brief surprise, she suddenly recalled that none of Spirit Hall's elders were young, and in recent years, there had been no news of a new Titled Douluo being born.

Upon becoming a Titled Douluo, one could leave behind their name and title in Douluo Hall. As the most coveted place in the Soul Master world, anyone who broke through to Titled Douluo would surely go to Spirit Hall for an investiture ceremony.

If there truly were such a young Titled Douluo, how could Spirit Hall not promote him?

Besides, if Shrek Academy had truly produced a Titled Douluo, how could their name not have spread across the continent?

Having figured it out, Ye Lingling looked at Tang San with a touch of pity.

Only Tang San would believe such scammer rhetoric.

"Don't interfere with a teacher's class. Please go back, Student Tang San."

Ye Lingling quickly left after saying that.

Talking to people with such warped values was simply a waste of breath.

"Third Brother, let's go back first. We can leave these matters to Grandmaster," Xiao Wu said, tugging on Tang San's hand.

Tang San naturally did not think there was anything wrong with what he had said. He only assumed he did not know enough about Shrek Academy and had failed to explain its advantages.

"Xiao Wu, are you going to class today?"

"What class? I learned all those theories long ago."

"True. Teacher already taught us in advance."
