You Insulted Tang San's Dad

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words,

Ye Qiu merely smiled indifferently.

They were geniuses with Innate Full Soul Power, while Yu Xiaogang was nothing more than a freeloader. What right did he have to do this?

Ye Qiu did not care, but Xiao Wu was not about to put up with Yu Xiaogang. Full of indignation, she pointed at his nose and cursed, "Are you blind? They were clearly the ones who came looking for a beating first!"

Yet Yu Xiaogang did not take her seriously at all. He casually swept his gaze over her and Ye Qiu before turning to his beloved disciple, Tang San.

Yu Xiaogang strolled over to Tang San and patted his shoulder. "Little San, come eat on the second floor with me. Then I'll take you to my room so we can have a proper talk."

"No, Teacher. I'd rather stay with my roommates." Tang San shook his head. He did not want to stand out too much. Perhaps that was fine in the village, but not out here.

"Fine, then wait for me at the cafeteria entrance after you finish eating." Yu Xiaogang released Tang San's shoulder, then turned to Ling Feng and the others. "Disperse!"

Without another word, he headed straight for the second floor of the cafeteria.

After leaving behind a few harsh words, Ling Feng and the others hurried off in disgrace.

"What kind of Master is that stone-faced bastard? He's practically blind!" Still displeased, Xiao Wu glared at Yu Xiaogang's retreating back and continued cursing.

Tang San stood nearby with a frown, feeling awful inside. This was the teacher he had knelt before and bowed to!

"Xiao Wu, keep your voice down. He's the headmaster's friend, after all." Wang Sheng hurriedly urged Xiao Wu to lower her voice. Then he turned to Tang San, confusion in his eyes. "Come to think of it, Brother San, why do you call him Teacher? He doesn't seem to teach classes."

Ye Qiu chimed in at just the right moment. "That's because Little San took him as his teacher."

"Seriously?!"

Wang Sheng and his underlings beside him were dumbfounded.

"How could that be fake?"

Tang San looked at Wang Sheng strangely, unable to understand why he was reacting so strongly. His forehead still hurt now—it could not have been more real.

Wang Sheng stared at Tang San in shock, leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "No way, Brother San. Let me tell you, that Master has a terrible reputation. He's been at the academy for ages, but no one's ever seen him do anything. He's just a freeloader. And I heard he's nearly fifty, yet he's still only a Soul Grandmaster. That title of Master was probably just something he slapped on himself to make himself look good."

"Enough!"

Hearing Wang Sheng's words, Tang San finally could not endure it any longer. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes. He vented all his anger, including Xiao Wu's share, startling Wang Sheng into backing away several steps.

He said coldly, "I hope this is the first and last time. My teacher is not someone you have the right to judge! Thank you for your good intentions, but I don't think I need you to treat me to a meal!"

With that, Tang San turned and walked out of the cafeteria without looking back.

"What? Is something wrong with him?!"

Wang Sheng was somewhat frightened as well. He had only been kindly warning Tang San. Besides, everything he said was true—he had not made anything up.

"Ye Qiu, what's wrong with him?"

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San strangely too. For that deadpan bastard, he had actually refused to eat.

"Nothing. You insulted his dad, so he got a little angry." Ye Qiu reached out and pinched Xiao Wu's soft cheek, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Still confused, Xiao Wu suddenly blushed. She pouted unhappily at Ye Qiu. Her puffed-up cheeks only made Ye Qiu pinch them a few more times even more boldly.

"Hmph!"

Xiao Wu snorted and slapped away Ye Qiu's wandering hand, turning her flushed little face aside. "All right, Wang Sheng, ignore him. Sister Xiao Wu is starving to death."

"..."

While Ye Qiu and the others were eating in the cafeteria, Tang San had already returned to the dormitory. As usual, he made do with dry rations and water for a meal.

Then Tang San returned to the cafeteria entrance and waited for Yu Xiaogang to arrive.

People came and went, and quite a few cast puzzled looks at Tang San. But Tang San merely stood straight with his eyes lowered, as though he had not noticed them.

After waiting for roughly a quarter of an hour, Yu Xiaogang finally emerged from the cafeteria. Seeing Tang San's calm and unruffled demeanor, Yu Xiaogang grew more and more satisfied with this disciple of his who possessed Twin Martial Souls.

He believed that under his guidance, Tang San would surely become his shining golden signboard in the Spirit Master World!

Then Yu Xiaogang could use his great achievement to firmly shut the mouths of the world!

"Teacher!"

Tang San quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed.

"Here. You're still growing, so eat more." Yu Xiaogang forced out a stiff smile and placed the wrapped chicken leg in Tang San's hands.

"Thank you, Teacher." Looking at Yu Xiaogang's somewhat stiff smile, Tang San felt warmth fill his heart.

"Let's go, Little San." Yu Xiaogang took Tang San's little hand and led him toward his residence.

At that moment, Ye Qiu and the others happened to emerge from the cafeteria as well.

Watching their backs, Ye Qiu knew they were going to discuss obtaining a spirit ring.

Xiao Wu puckered her lips and complained, "Ah~ When will we have money? Sister Xiao Wu doesn't want to keep eating rotten vegetable leaves."

"Wouldn't you have money once you become a Spirit Master?"

Ye Qiu glanced at her, while reminding himself that he needed to hurry as well. He immediately turned to Wang Sheng and said, "You all go back first. I'm going to find the academy teachers and discuss obtaining a spirit ring."

"Got it, Boss!"

A smile appeared on Wang Sheng's face. Once Ye Qiu became a Spirit Master, they work-study students would finally be able to rest easy and would no longer have to live in constant fear.

With that, Ye Qiu headed toward the academic affairs office.

From what he remembered, the Director Su he had met when registering yesterday seemed like a good choice.

When Ye Qiu approached him, things went smoothly. Director Su readily agreed to help him obtain a spirit ring, saying that every child with Innate Full Soul Power was precious talent the academy desperately sought.

Ye Qiu naturally believed him.

That afternoon, Ye Qiu sat quietly cross-legged on his bed cultivating, while Xiao Wu lay on hers, occasionally glancing at Ye Qiu and his bundle in boredom.

Tang San did not return until very late.

When he came back, there was already a belt around his waist.

Ye Qiu knew what it was: the Storage Soul Tool, Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night. Presumably, it was now filled with white radishes, the source of Luo Sanpao's foul-smelling farts.

But compared to Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night, Ye Qiu actually preferred the line that followed it: Where does the jade beauty teach the flute to be played?

Thinking of that, Ye Qiu could not help glancing at the little rabbit, who was unhappy because Tang San wanted to give her white radish. What could she do? "Ye Qiu, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xiao Wu raised her head and glared at Ye Qiu indignantly, though there was a trace of curiosity in her eyes.

"Because you're pretty."

A smile lingered at the corner of Ye Qiu's lips. After saying that, he closed his eyes and continued cultivating.

"Ah?!"

Xiao Wu froze for a moment. Looking at Ye Qiu, who had closed his eyes to cultivate, a deep blush spread across her face. "Stupid rabbit!"

Wishing everyone a happy life!
