Tang San Nearly Lost His Composure at the Sight of a Beauty; You Xing Spoke Up Righteously, Worried Yu Xiaogang Would Mislead a Student

Xiao Wu looked at the furious Tang San and cutely stuck out her tongue. "Sorry, I thought... he was forcing you. Oh, so you were taking him as your master? Hehe, I've never seen anyone kneel in worship when taking a master."

"You—"

Tang San's eyes widened.

It was not because Xiao Wu's words made him angrier, but because when he turned and saw the pretty face of the girl who had kicked his teacher flying, he stared blankly.

Having grown up in a backwater village, he had never held hands with a girl, much less spoken to one. In his previous life, he had only learned of the existence of the opposite sex from books. In this life, Tang Hao had raised him into a miserable old virgin. Where had he ever seen such a pretty and adorable girl!?

From certain descriptions in the original work, it was clear that Xiao Wu was definitely a peerless beauty. Though she was only six, one could already glimpse her future devastating charm and adorable loveliness.

And for Tang San, who had something of a lolicon tendency, Xiao Wu's tongue-sticking, cute act was a direct fatal blow.

His tongue-tied state right now was entirely because he was nervous. (Tang San was nervous when he first spoke to Xiao Wu in the original work—it wasn't me deliberately smearing him!)

Of course, the pure and spotless Tang San would never think that he harbored any improper thoughts toward a little girl. He merely believed he was nervous because he had too little contact with the opposite sex.

He was completely unaware of how strange it was for someone mentally in his thirties to regard a girl who looked only six as the opposite sex.

At that moment, he had entirely forgotten his anger. After hearing Xiao Wu's explanation and learning that she had been concerned for him, only acting without clarifying the situation in her haste, he felt that although she had done something wrong, she was fundamentally a kind-hearted little girl.

"You little girl, do you just attack people without figuring out what's what!?"

Just as Tang San was dazzled by Xiao Wu and his impression of her had improved, Yu Xiaogang rubbed his head and shakily climbed to his feet, his face full of fury as he rebuked Xiao Wu.

"Teacher!"

Seeing this, Tang San slid forward and hurriedly supported Yu Xiaogang, his face filled with concern. "Are you all right?"

Seeing his disciple's concerned expression, Yu Xiaogang's heart warmed. But thinking of how he had made such a fool of himself right after being accepted as the adorable boy's master, his anger toward Xiao Wu surged even further. He immediately said in a mocking tone, "Your teacher is fine. Little San, you must remember this: never learn from people like her in the future. She has no manners and is rash and impulsive. In all things, one must think thrice before acting!"

"Yes, Teacher, I under—"

"I already said I didn't do it on purpose!"

How could Xiao Wu fail to realize that Yu Xiaogang was talking about her? She immediately grew furious, glared fiercely at him, then turned her head away and muttered, "If you two hadn't made it look so misleading..."

With Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's Soul Grandmaster-level hearing, they could hear her clearly from such a close distance even if she spoke more quietly.

Yu Xiaogang's face immediately darkened. He strode straight up to Xiao Wu and rebuked her, "What an unreasonable little girl. You clearly injured me by mistake, yet you can still act so righteous? How did your parents educate you? I demand that you apologize to me right now!"

When Xiao Wu heard Yu Xiaogang use her already deceased parents to sarcastically lecture her, she became so angry that her eyes reddened, even though she knew she was in the wrong.

However, before she could erupt, You Chen, who had silently watched the show for a long time, stepped forward first.

He looked at Tang San, whose honest face made him look like an ordinary peasant child, and asked, "Little brother, did you just take this man as your master?"

Though You Chen wore You Xing's expressionless, icy face, Yu Xiaogang had already guessed what he wanted to say. His face immediately darkened.

Afraid that the genius he had finally lured in would slip away, he stepped forward and feigned anger. "You're with that unreasonable little girl. You don't look like good people either. Little San, don't waste your breath arguing with these bad children. I'll take you to register now."

In truth, with Yu Xiaogang's innate arrogance, he ordinarily would not have been so impatient and flustered. He should have maintained a self-righteous attitude of, "What can the world's slander, ridicule, insult, and humiliation do to me?"

But You Chen's transformed appearance as You Xing always gave him a strangely familiar feeling, making him inexplicably uneasy.

Tang San, however, could not sense Yu Xiaogang's inexplicable guilt. He only heard his teacher's evaluation of You Chen, frowned slightly, and developed some dislike for the handsome boy walking alongside Xiao Wu.

He had detected the concealed disdain for Yu Xiaogang in You Chen's words.

Wanting to protect his teacher's dignity, Tang San fixed his gaze on You Chen and replied, "Yes. Is there something wrong with that?"

Maintaining You Xing's icy persona, You Chen said blandly, "I don't know how he deceived you, but this man is named Yu Xiaogang. At Notting City Elementary Academy, not doing any teaching and scamming meals and drinks are merely the surface of it. He calls himself a theoretical master, yet the only thing he ever published, the so-called 'Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul,' was thoroughly refuted as worthless the moment it came out by a child who was only twelve at the time. In short—this man is a notorious con artist in the soul master world."

Tang San's eyes widened.

Not from shock at the "truth," but from fury at You Chen's "slander"!

His teacher had been able to see at a glance from a simple proof of identity that he possessed Twin Martial Souls, and even determine that his other martial soul was exceptionally powerful. How could such a person possibly be someone chasing hollow fame!?

Someone must have been jealous of his teacher's talents and deliberately smeared his reputation!

After hearing You Chen's words, Tang San not only did not begin to doubt Yu Xiaogang, but instead felt a deep sense of kinship.

His teacher, who had suffered unfair treatment and baseless accusations in the world of theory, and himself, who clearly possessed peerless talent yet had no right to read the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record—how alike they were! They truly were meant to be master and disciple!

"Shut up!"

Thinking this, Tang San glared furiously at You Chen. "What evidence do you have for what you said!? It's nothing more than hearsay! Take back what you just said about my teacher! Then kneel and apologize to my teacher! Otherwise, I will make you understand the price of insulting my master!"

Xiao Wu, meanwhile, saw You Chen "specifically step forward to speak up for her" and was deeply moved. Although my little junior brother looks a little cold, it turns out he's warm inside. The moment he saw his senior sister being bullied, he stepped forward without a word.

Then she saw Tang San suddenly glare at You Chen—who had kindly warned him that Yu Xiaogang was a fraud—as though he had seen the murderer of his father, his face twisted with fury.

Is there something seriously wrong with this guy?

Xiao Wu shot Tang San a strange look and said, "Hey, my little junior brother was clearly trying to warn you out of kindness. It's one thing not to thank him, but why are you going crazy?"
