Grandmaster and Tang San

The next day, Luo Ling woke up early and was dragged out by Hu Liena.

"Little Ling, Notting City looks so rundown." Hu Liena held Luo Ling's hand as she looked around.

"Senior Sister, Notting City is only a small town on the border of the Heaven Dou Empire. Naturally, it can't compare to other major cities." Luo Ling shook his head helplessly.

The two looked very intimate at that moment. Hu Liena was practically pressed against him, and with her arms wrapped around his, Luo Ling could even feel a certain softness.

She was so young, yet already developing quite well. As expected of a woman from Douluo Continent... Luo Ling inwardly sighed.

Ever since he had saved Hu Liena in the Soul Hunting Forest, she had become especially close to him. Luo Ling did not resist it and simply let things take their natural course.

"Look! Grandmaster is back!"

"What Grandmaster? I think he's an Evil Soul Master who cultivates Evil Skills!"

"He's a eunuch Evil Soul Master!"

Just as Luo Ling and Hu Liena were wandering around aimlessly, a burst of commotion suddenly arose ahead.

Luo Ling's gaze slowly turned sinister. He had once again seen the man he wanted to kill more than anyone.

It was Yu Xiaogang.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was leading a plain-faced black-haired boy down the street step by step.

Yu Xiaogang had been in an extremely foul mood lately. He had merely arranged for an assistant teacher to kill a work-study student, yet he himself had somehow been crippled.

There were even rumors outside that he cultivated Evil Skills.

He had no way to refute those rumors at all, because many people had witnessed what happened that night.

Zhang Lang had died in his office. The two of them had been completely naked, and that was the sight he had seen upon waking up.

Yu Xiaogang remembered meeting Zhang Lang, but midway through, everything had gone black before his eyes. He had no idea what happened afterward.

Yu Xiaogang clenched his teeth as he looked at the people around him pointing and gossiping.

Someone must be jealous of my talent and framed me! Yes! That must be it!

His eyes were bloodshot. Lowering his head, he looked at the disciple he had just taken in.

He had encountered this child named Tang San by chance. He was born with Twin Martial Souls, and his second Martial Soul was the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the Number One Weapon Martial Soul!

Once I nurture an unparalleled genius, all this infamy will be washed away!

Clenching his fists, Yu Xiaogang tried his best to ignore what others were saying and led Tang San toward the gates of Notting Academy.

"Yu Xiaogang! Tell me what you did to Little Ling!" A voice rang out the moment he entered.

Yu Xiaogang raised his head with an ugly expression. Looking at the person before him, a rare trace of panic flashed through his eyes.

Not far away, Luo Ling and Hu Liena had also arrived near Notting Academy. They stood to one side, watching the show unfold before them.

"Is that Yu Xiaogang?" Hu Liena looked disdainfully at the robed figure in the crowd. "He looks so slovenly. Is someone like him really Teacher's former..."

She did not say the last few words, perhaps because she felt the man before her was unworthy.

"Perhaps Teacher was deceived." Luo Ling smiled, his gaze inconspicuously flicking toward a more distant corner.

Bibi Dong stood there with a complicated expression, also watching the three people at the entrance of Notting Academy.

"I already said it. I don't know where the person you're talking about is, nor do I know why he disappeared!" Yu Xiaogang declared firmly.

"How could you not know? Little Ling always wanted to take you as his teacher, but he disappeared after you rejected him! That very night, Assistant Teacher Zhang's drained corpse was discovered in your office! You must have harmed Little Ling!" The person opposite him spoke resentfully, immediately stirring up a commotion among the crowd.

"What? Someone else was harmed?"

"Then this Grandmaster must have cultivated Evil Skills more than once or twice!"

"That's too dangerous. How can someone like that be allowed to remain in the academy?"

"Don't slander me!" Seeing the situation escalating, Yu Xiaogang could not help but curse.

Luo Ling watched everything from within the crowd. Looking at the person confronting Yu Xiaogang, warmth rose in his heart.

That person was Wang Sheng, Luo Ling's roommate.

I never expected Wang Sheng to clash with Yu Xiaogang over my disappearance... Luo Ling sighed softly.

He had only spent a year at Notting Academy. Although the two had gotten along well, he had not expected Wang Sheng to go this far for him.

"Then tell me, why did Little Ling disappear?" Wang Sheng stared fiercely at Yu Xiaogang, refusing to give an inch.

In the past, he might not have dared to openly oppose the academy's Grandmaster like this. But now, Grandmaster's reputation in Notting City had already been ruined, and even many teachers at Notting Academy did not think much of him.

"You're not allowed to speak about my teacher like that!"

Just as the two were at daggers drawn, Tang San, who had been standing beside Yu Xiaogang all this time, stepped forward.

"My teacher was framed! He never cultivated Evil Skills!" Tang San said resolutely.

"Little San..." Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, who had stepped forward to defend him, deeply moved. He immediately felt that he had not taken the wrong disciple.

"We all saw it! Assistant Teacher Zhang died in Yu Xiaogang's office! You say he was framed, but who would frame him?" Wang Sheng said disdainfully.

"I don't know who framed him, but I know my teacher is absolutely not an Evil Soul Master!" Tang San remained firm.

As a transmigrator, Tang San had noticed far too many suspicious details in this matter. If Grandmaster truly cultivated Evil Skills, why would he choose a crowded, chaotic place like his office?

And he had even been discovered by chance. It was practically as if someone had deliberately wanted others to see it, so Tang San was certain that his teacher had been framed.

When he first arrived at Notting Academy, Yu Xiaogang had received him and, with just a few words, revealed the secret of his Twin Martial Souls. From this, it was clear that Yu Xiaogang's reputation as a theoretical Grandmaster was not undeserved.

How could a person like that cultivate Evil Skills?

In Tang San's eyes, Yu Xiaogang was like one of the great experts from the Tang Sect in his previous life. It was only natural for great experts to be envied.

That was also why Tang San had taken Yu Xiaogang as his teacher.

"In any case, my teacher is not an Evil Soul Master, and this Little Ling you mentioned definitely has nothing to do with him! Wang Sheng, if you continue slandering my teacher, then I can only stop being polite!" Tang San's gaze toward Wang Sheng became dangerous.

"Stop being polite? Tang San, you defend Yu Xiaogang so fiercely. Could it be that you cultivate Evil Skills like Yu Xiaogang too? Otherwise, how could your trash Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul possibly have Innate Full Soul Power?" Wang Sheng refused to let it go.

"A Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul with Innate Full Soul Power?"

"I was wondering why Grandmaster accepted this disciple. Could this kid have cultivated Evil Skills too?"

The crowd erupted into commotion once more.

Tang San's expression turned vicious. They had actually dragged him into the slander as well.

Wang Sheng! You have earned the right to die!

In an instant, a pale yellow Soul Ring rose beneath Tang San's feet.

First Soul Skill, Blue Silver Entanglement, activate.
