Tang San's Envy
Yu Xiaogang guided Tang San and his disciples in making the basic core and outer shell of the Soul Tool. Tang San, with his background in Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, didn't have any problems. However, the others had issues such as the drill getting stuck or the mounting not being properly secured, causing the metal being processed to be knocked away. Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang had installed Defensive Soul Tool beforehand.
Otherwise, several people would inevitably bleed within a few days. Yu Xiaogang saw that Oscar looked a bit dejected, and it seemed that making Soul Tool for the first time was not as simple as he had imagined. He couldn't help but say something to comfort him:
"Alright, Xiao Ao, after all, this is the first time you've encountered these things. San-ge has already learned about them beforehand, so you don't need to compare yourselves to him. Children, you can go back today and watch some videos on the Online Library to learn more. Tomorrow, we'll continue as we did today. In the morning, we'll gather at the Training Field to practice together, and in the afternoon, we'll come here to learn about Soul Tool manufacturing."
After hearing Yu Xiaogang's explanation of the situation, Oscar began to regain his confidence. After all, their first attempt at making Soul Tool had gone smoothly, and they had seen Tang San calmly and quickly produce the Soul Tool core and outer shell.
Then Tang San helped guide them like a little teacher, which dealt a huge blow to Oscar, who thought he was a genius. He realized that he was just Soul Master with good talent. When Oscar and Ma Hongjun came to the Dragon Gate Sect, they found that geniuses were not uncommon.
Oscar patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder and said to Yu Xiaogang:
"Don't worry, Martial Uncle- Master, we'll study diligently at the Online Library when we get back today, right, Fatty?"
Ma Hongjun tapped his elephant leg with a bit of helplessness and complained to Oscar:
"Xiao Ao, I'm not as relaxed as you guys. I've been running around all morning and my legs feel like they don't belong to me anymore. I'd rather stay up all night studying with you than stay up with you!"
Upon hearing about staying up all night, Yu Xiaogang glanced at Tang San, causing Tang San, who had a history of this, to give an awkward laugh. Meanwhile, Xiao Wu patted her small chest and assured Yu Xiaogang:
"Don't worry, teacher, with me watching over Third Brother, he definitely won't stay up all night!"
The straightforward Xiao Wu jumped out without thinking when she saw Yu Xiaogang's scrutinizing gaze. Just after she finished speaking, she noticed that everyone present was looking at her Tang San with surprised eyes. She realized that her words seemed to have some ambiguity, so she blushed and hid behind Yu Linglong like an ostrich.
Ning Rongrong blinked her big eyes in disbelief and pointed her finger at Tang San and Xiao Wu, looking them over as she said:
"I didn't realize! Xiao Wu and Third Brother, you two have progressed so quickly and are already living together! I'm going to tell Aunt Ah Yin this good news when we get back!"
Ma Hongjun narrowed his eyes and chuckled lewdly at Oscar beside him. Tang San was caught off guard by Xiao Wu's self-exposure, but now that everyone knew, he confessed, "I... we just shared a room. Xiao Wu is afraid of the dark, so I was just taking care of her. Besides, we slept openly, so don't overthink it!"
Few people believed Tang San's explanation. Yu Xiaogang didn't believe a word Tang San, this old otaku, said. However, he was just a teacher and didn't care about Tang San and Xiao Wu's relationship. He just said to Tang San, "Alright, stop surrounding San-ge and Xiao Wu. It's getting late, you should all have dinner. You're all at the age where you're growing, so you need to eat on time. San-ge, take good care of Xiao Wu. Everyone, go home!"
Yu Xiaogang directly suppressed and interrupted the matter of Tang San and Xiao Wu living together, which made Tang San breathe a sigh of relief, at least he got away with it. However, the thought of Ning Rongrong telling her mother Ah Yin, about this gave him a headache. He started thinking about how to discuss it with Ning Rongrong later.
Yu Xiaogang doesn't intend to interfere in Tang San's personal relationships. After all, in the original story, Tang San is quite good to Xiao Wu. Now that Tang San has been freed from the influence of the God of Asura's power, he has become more humane and won't kill people at the drop of a hat.
Yu Xiaogang ahead of his disciples and began to recall Tang San's behavior from childhood to adulthood. It seemed that Tang San really behaved like a girl. It was good that Xiao Wu liked him now, otherwise, if a male-bodied but female-hearted Tang San appeared, Tang Hao would fight him to the death, even though he could easily overpower Tang Hao with one hand.
Well, let nature take its course. Tang San's personality is pretty good now. He respects his teacher and listens to his words without question. He's also kind to people and doesn't have any of the arrogance of a transmigrator. It seems that my methods have had a big impact on Tang San! Yu Xiaogang and a few little rascals had a lavish dinner. Perhaps because it was the first time they had engaged in such a large amount of exercise during the day, Ning Rongrong ate even more than Taotie, which left Ma Hongjun a little dumbfounded. He hadn't expected that such a small little girl could eat so much.
After finishing her meal, Ning Rongrong patted her bulging belly and exclaimed:
"Ugh... I'm finally full! But wait, teacher, this is weird! I felt really hungry after sparring with you today. My stomach is full now, but my body is still feeling hungry?"
Yu Xiaogang put down his chopsticks and began to frown and ponder for a while. He then guessed at Ning Rongrong and said, "Rongrong, this might be the first time you've used your Soul Power to fight at full strength. Also, since your Martial Soul hasn't awakened, it's like you're missing a converter, which makes your body bear a heavier burden. Rongrong, you've asked your teacher a good question, which is similar to Hongjun's question. Your teacher will find a solution after a while. But after that, Rongrong, you can't unleash your Soul Power anymore, understand?"
"I... I understand, teacher. Just don't tell my dad. I don't want my dad, Sword Grandfather Bone Grandfather to worry."
Ning Rongrong remembered how she had hurt herself while acting recklessly today, so she pretended to be silly and grinned foolishly, hoping to get away with it. Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to affectionately rub Ning Rongrong's head and whisper, "Alright... alright, teacher won't tell your father this time, but there can't be a next time, understand?"
As for Teacher Yu Xiaogang, who loved her the most besides her father, Sword Grandfather, and Bone Grandfather, Ning Rongrong liked to act like an ordinary daughter, throwing herself at her father and saying, "Hehe! Teacher, you're the best to Rongrong!"
"Hey? Hey! Rongrong, wipe the grease off your hands first!"
Tang San looked at the heartwarming scene before him with a touch of envy. He couldn't be like Rongrong and couldn't act like that, after all, he was almost forty years old in both his past and present lives. On the other side Yu Linglong watched Rongrong act cute and charming with a warm expression. She had always wanted a cute little sister, but her parents had never given her one.
Moreover, Yu Linglong felt that she had grown up and could no longer act like a spoiled child in her parents' arms. However, she was still a little envious of the carefree Ning Rongrong. She had been obediently sleeping in her own room for so long, so why was her mother's belly still not showing any signs of pregnancy? After a warm dinner, Yu Xiaogang escorted the little ones back to their dormitories and then happily returned to his own dormitory. After all, there was still someone he needed to pamper.
I feel awful from this cold, my nose is constantly running and my head feels throbbing.
