I Won't Allow You to Speak Ill of Neuvillette!

"So you mean I broke the rules, then Neuvillette jumped down, landed beside me, punched me once, and I passed out?"

Tang San found it hard to believe. He knew nothing about what happened after he lost consciousness, including how he had passed out.

Only after Xiao Wu told him what had happened on the arena did he understand why he had fainted.

Even now, his head still hurt a little!

Xiao Wu blinked her pinkish-red eyes and nodded repeatedly.

Tang San was numb. He simply could not accept this outcome!

He had indeed broken the rules. His opponent had already surrendered, yet he still believed the man deserved to die!

But what he could not accept was that Neuvillette had knocked him unconscious with an ordinary punch!

It was an ordinary punch without even using a soul skill!

The other man had been so fast that even Tang San had failed to react. One could only imagine how powerful he truly was!

"Three Rings, a Soul Elder!"

"No! Dai Mubai is practically at the peak of the Soul Elder rank. I can still contend with him, even fight him to a draw!"

"It must have been because Neuvillette ambushed me!"

"Hah, and he talks about fairness and justice! He ambushed me when I, Tang San, wasn't ready—that's the only reason he succeeded!"

Thinking it over, Tang San instantly felt relieved. He engraved this grudge deeply into his mind. If he ever had the chance, he would definitely get revenge!

"Xiao Wu, Neuvillette isn't a good person. He ambushed me and stopped me from avenging you. Stay away from him in the future!"

Tang San said earnestly. Over the past few days, he had heard Neuvillette's name every day, and it had already annoyed him enough!

Especially whenever Xiao Wu mentioned that name, he always felt as though he had been cuckolded!

The moment Xiao Wu heard this, she could no longer remain calm!

What did he mean, Neuvillette was not a good person?

Perhaps he was not even human in the first place!

Ambush you?

Even if someone like him fought you openly, could you withstand even one of his punches?

It was not that Xiao Wu looked down on Tang San. Neuvillette was simply far too powerful!

Humans might not be able to see through the true nature of Neuvillette's "soul rings," but Xiao Wu could sense that those soul rings contained no resentment from soul beasts at all!

Those Hydro Blue soul rings were all fake!

"Third Brother, I won't allow you to speak ill of Neuvillette!"

Xiao Wu said with a solemn expression. Neuvillette might be like her—perhaps even a being stronger than she was. How could she not defend him?

"???"

Tang San froze at those words, the corner of his eye twitching wildly.

She would not allow him to speak ill of Neuvillette?

Good grief, was she still Tang San's little sister or not?

Taking an outsider's side?

Tang San had heard such sayings before: a married daughter was like spilled water; daughters always took outsiders' sides; grown girls could not be kept at home...

But he had never imagined that the little sister he had acknowledged would actually say something like that to him!

Could their bond of more than six years not compare to a stranger she had only met three times?

Tang San's heart bled. His fists clenched tightly, but after seeing the determination in Xiao Wu's eyes, he finally loosened them.

Nearly gritting his teeth, he said, "Xiao Wu, listen to your brother's advice..."

"Not listening, not listening, a turtle chanting scriptures!"

Xiao Wu covered her ears and shook her head.

"Whew..."

Tang San took a deep breath. Was this the rebellious phase of adolescence?

In the end, he had protected Xiao Wu too well. She simply did not understand how treacherous people could be!

"Third Brother, Neuvillette really isn't what you think. He was only upholding the fairness of the arena. What did he do wrong?"

"When we compete, getting hurt is inevitable. Those two brothers had already shown me mercy, yet you wanted to kill them. Isn't that repaying kindness with enmity?"

For once, Xiao Wu's brain was working as she spoke.

Tang San's face turned green, then white, and finally darkened.

She really was taking an outsider's side!

"Xiao Wu, stop talking!"

"I did all of this for you!"

"I said I would protect you, but you got hurt. Of course I had to avenge you!"

"Xiao Wu, do you know how heartbroken and upset I am when you say things like this?"

Tang San was utterly numb. He truly could not understand why Xiao Wu had become like this!

Right, Neuvillette!

It had to be Neuvillette!

Ever since she met Neuvillette, Xiao Wu had become like a different person. If there had been no Neuvillette, she would still have been the obedient little sister she once was!

A weapon in hand, murderous intent arose!

Xiao Wu curled her lips. Tang San was actually pushing all the blame onto her!

For her?

Everything was for her?

Wasn't he the one who told her to go up there? How was his pain and sadness her fault?

Besides, she was only his little sister. Wasn't he being far too controlling?

Did he even want to control whom she associated with?

"Third Brother, you should go back first. I was injured when I fought Dai Mubai yesterday, and I need to recover."

Xiao Wu said coldly. Once a relationship developed cracks, it was difficult to return to how things had been.

Those who walked different paths could not make plans together!

"Uh..."

Tang San was stunned. He had come here to take care of Xiao Wu!

Yet Xiao Wu was now sending him away!

After thinking for a moment, Tang San calmed himself before saying, "Xiao Wu, focus on recovering first. I'll leave now. I'll bring you dinner later."

After saying that, he turned and left Xiao Wu's dorm room without waiting for her reply.

The moment Tang San left the dorm, his calm expression instantly turned somewhat ferocious. Red light glowed in his eyes as he muttered, "Neuvillette, I want you dead!"

Tang Hao, hidden in the shadows, shook his head. This single defeat had dealt Tang San quite a blow.

"That referee did nothing wrong. He can only blame his bad luck. Being able to serve as Little San's whetstone is his good fortune!"

"That little rabbit is truly promiscuous... nothing like Ah Yin."

"If Little San kills her, that would be a good thing as well."

"It's merely a Soul Arena!"

The Eight Great Families?

What could a force without even a single Titled Douluo do, even if he killed one of their people?

Tang Hao snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth lifting in disdain.

After a while, Tang Hao seemed to think of something and muttered, "Nothing much is happening here for now. With Flender and the others around, Little San won't be in any danger. I should go see Ah Yin instead!"

He did not believe that, with him watching from the shadows, Flender and the others would dare neglect Tang San's protection!

Even Zhao Wuji, whom he had beaten until he only had one breath left, would not have the courage to do so!

Tang Hao did not follow Tang San every day. These past few days had merely been special. Tang San had just entered Shrek Academy, and he had already had a "talk" with Flender. After that, there was no need for him to worry.

He only needed to wait for Tang San to grow stronger. If Xiao Wu had not fallen in love with someone else, he would arrange for her to sacrifice herself. If she no longer loved Tang San, then sorry—he would simply kill her and take her soul ring and soul bone!

Humans and soul beasts could never coexist. Killing soul beasts was only natural and right!

Tang San would surely understand when the time came...
