" Xiao Wu, we're free this afternoon, how about we go shopping?"
"Go by yourself if you want to go. I'm waiting for my brother to come back."
"A new Soft Bone Rabbit' has opened in Heaven Dou City. Their spicy rabbit heads are extremely delicious. How about we go eat there this afternoon?"
Xiao Wu's fur stood on end, her eyes flashing with murderous intent as she looked at the still-talking Tai Long, her heart filled with anger and helplessness.
Tai Long is the young master of the Strength Clan and a member of the Shrek Academy Team. The moment he first saw Xiao Wu, he knew he had fallen in love.
While Tang San was studying at the Clear Sky Sect, Tai Long took advantage of the situation and began to relentlessly pursue Xiao Wu.
At first, Xiao Wu didn't care, thinking that rejecting the other party was the same as giving up. But as time went by, Xiao Wu felt like she was stepping on a piece of shit that she couldn't shake off no matter what she did.
When Tai Long invited her to go to the city for a meal, Xiao Wu refused without hesitation. Xiao Wu couldn't bring herself to eat her own kind.
Just then, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up because she saw a familiar figure she hadn't seen in a long time. Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she ran straight towards Tai Long's back.
Tai Long opened his arms, a happy smile on his face, thinking that Xiao Wu had finally accepted him. So he closed his eyes and took a step, ready to have a romantic kiss with Xiao Wu.
Unexpectedly, instead of a passionate kiss, Tai Long ended up hugging a big tree and chewing on its bark.
After spitting out the food residue in his mouth, Tai Long witnessed the scene he least wanted to see in his life.
Tang San and Xiao Wu were seen embracing each other as if no one else was around, completely oblivious to the presence of their pursuer.
"Brother! You're finally back! I thought you didn't want me anymore!" As she spoke, Xiao Wu Xiao Wu hugged Tang San tightly, like a koala clinging to him.
"Silly girl! How could I not want you?" Tang San said with a doting expression. The seeds of love had taken root and sprouted in his heart. During his year at the Clear Sky Sect, he truly missed Xiao Wu every moment.
Tai Long's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Seeing the two behaving so intimately, he immediately rushed over in a rage.
"I've been chasing this woman for over a year and I haven't even held her hand, and you've already hugged her!"
Immediately afterwards, Tai Long was sent flying backward and became embedded in the tree trunk.
Tang San and Xiao Wu walked away hand in hand.
The next day, Tang San and Xiao Wu returned from shopping and saw Tai Long blocking their way with a man who was even more burly than them.
Tang San fought fiercely with him, and then Tai Nuo was poisoned by Tang San's Eight Spider Lances. The father and son were defeated by Tang San alone.
This is an immense disgrace for the fiercely protective Strength Clan.
On the third day, an old man with gray hair and a physique even more robust than Tai Long and his son came to the Shrek Academy and specifically asked for Tang San.
After a fierce battle, Tang San had no choice but to reveal the Clear Sky Hammer, intending to use Tai Tan as a test subject to verify the results of his Clear Sky Sect training.
But who would have thought that when Tai Tan saw Tang San's Clear Sky Hammer and asked him some basic questions about Tang San, such as what his father's name was, he immediately knelt down.
This scene left Tai Long and his son completely stunned, as if they were sleepwalking.
The old man, who had hoped to restore face for his grandson and son, inexplicably found himself acknowledging a young master, who in turn had a master above him.
Tai Long and his son felt dizzy and disoriented. They were slapped by Tai Tan and forced to their knees. They shouted "Young Master" to Tang San, which really frightened Tang San.
Yu Xiaogang had been watching this all along. The Strength Clan? As a former member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he knew that the Strength Clan had once been one of the affiliated clans of the Clear Sky Sect.
The Ye Clan is composed of the Defense Clan, the Speed Clan, and the Breaking Clan. An evil scheme gradually takes root in Yu Xiaogang's heart, and he goes to Tai Tan on his own.
"Greetings, Tai Tan Chieftain. My name is Grandmaster, and I am the team leader of the Shrek Academy Team," Yu Xiaogang introduced himself.
" Grandmaster?" Tai Tan may be physically strong, but he is not simple-minded. He said directly, "You must be Yu Xiaogang, the young master's teacher. I know about your deeds."
"Oh!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.
"You knelt before Moonlight Pavilion for almost a year. Your love for your disciple is something I, old Tai Tan, greatly admire! Young Master, you are truly fortunate to have a teacher like you!" Titan laughed heartily.
Yu Xiaogang remained silent; was this a compliment or an insult?
Yu Xiaogang coughed a few times and said solemnly, "As the patriarch of the Strength Clan, Chief Tai Tan naturally has a very good relationship with Tang Hao and Tang San. What are your plans for the future?"
"Of course, it's to assist the young master!" Tai Tan said directly.
"Hmm!" Yu Xiaogang nodded. This person had fallen into the trap she had set; she had been waiting for him to say that.
"Since we're going to assist Tang San, it's only natural that I, as her teacher, would step up. But it won't be enough with just you and me; we need some comrades-in-arms," Yu Xiaogang said meaningfully.
" Grandmaster, please speak frankly. My mind is a little confused." Tai Tan scratched the back of his head. It's better to speak directly; this Grandmaster's roundabout way of speaking is easy to confuse people.
Yu Xiaogang forced a grim smile onto his stiff face and said, "Why doesn't Tai Tan Chief Titan persuade Yang Wudi and the other two elders of the Ye Clan to switch sides and serve Tang San? You should know that my disciple has Twin Martial Souls and Tang Hao is backing him up. Once the four of you reunite, along with my Yu Xiaogang, you will definitely form a force even stronger than the Ye Clan, enough to shake the entire Douluo Continent."
Tai Tan frowned slightly and immediately said, "To be honest, Old Goat and the other two came to persuade me to join Ye Clan."
"Has the Tai Tan patriarch joined yet?" Yu Xiaogang's heart sank. Could it be that Ye Ping'an had already made his move? If so, then what she had just said was meaningless.
"No, I did not join."
Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief, her heart finally at ease.
"I have never met Ye Ping'an before, so there is no way I could have joined him."
Tai Tan said, "As for what the Grandmaster said earlier, with the young master's talent, becoming Titled Douluo in the future is not a problem at all. I'll give it a try and see if I can persuade him. After all, the three of us are old brothers."
Yu Xiaogang was overjoyed; her trick had worked.
"As long as the Breaking Clan, the Defense Clan, and the Speed Clan leave the Ye Clan, Ye Ping'an! Let's see how the Ye Clan will behave."
Ye Clan, Council Hall.
The oppressive atmosphere filled the room. Yang Wudi, his face grim, looked at the suddenly arriving Tai Tan and said indifferently, "Old gorilla, are you planning to make me, Old Rhino, and Old White Bird leave Ye Clan and follow that guy named Tang San with you?"
Tai Tan nodded and laughed, "That's right! Young Master has Twin Martial Souls and is also the son of Master. Not only is he exceptionally talented, but becoming Titled Douluo is a certainty. The three of us old brothers haven't been together for a long time. How about we leave Ye Clan together? If we work together, are we afraid we can't build a sect that's no less powerful than Ye Clan?"
Bai He shook his head and said, "When my Speed Clan was in dire straits, it was the sect leader who lent a helping hand, giving my clan the peaceful environment and abundant cultivation resources we have today, so we no longer have to struggle for a living. Old gorilla, I appreciate your kindness, but my Speed Clan and I will not leave the Ye Clan."
Tai Tan turned his gaze to Niu Gao, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Niu Gao immediately shook his head and said, "My Defense Clan will not leave the Ye Clan. The sect is growing stronger day by day, and we are all happy about it from the bottom of our hearts. The idea of me leaving the sect to become a traitor is simply impossible!"
" Old Rhino, this isn't called being a traitor, it's called switching sides. My young master is no less capable than Ye Ping'an. Ye Ping'an only has the Seven Star Sword as his Martial Soul, while my young master has Twin Martial Souls. His future achievements will definitely surpass Ye Ping'an's." Tai Tan continued to speak kindly to Tang San.
In Tai Tan's view, the brotherhood they had built up over so many years was not so easy to sever; the four of them together were always like four missing one.
Just then, Yang Wudi slowly stood up, staring directly at Tai Tan, and said, word by word, "You keep calling me 'master,' but what benefits did Tang Hao actually give you! Old gorilla, don't forget that if it weren't for Tang Hao back then, would we have left the Clear Sky Sect?!"
Tai Tan was speechless. It was indeed Tang Hao who caused the incident, but Tang Hao was, after all, his master, so he couldn't say anything.
"The master had unspeakable difficulties back then, but those things are in the past. What can't be resolved now?"
Yang Wudi snorted coldly, holding the Soul Breaking Spear, and said word by word, "I was born a member of the Ye Clan, and I will die a ghost of the Ye Clan! My entire Breaking Clan owes its existence to that guy surnamed Tang. Tang San is Tang Hao's son. As long as he is surnamed Tang and his Martial Soul is the Clear Sky Hammer, I will never have anything to do with him."
"Old gorilla, if you're here for a drink, the three of us welcome you."
"If you continue to choose to act as a persuader to make the three of us leave the sect, then you should give up on this idea as soon as possible."
"We are human beings! Upright human beings! Not slaves! And we have no so-called masters!!!"
Yang Wudi's impassioned speech deeply affected Tai Tan. He looked up at his former brothers who had shared life and death, and could hardly believe that these words had come from their mouths.
"..."
After a long silence, Tai Tan stood up with a somber face and sighed, "I understand. I'll take my leave now and never bother you again."
After saying that, Tai Tan simply turned and left.
Yang Wudi, Niu Gao, Bai He watched Tai Tan's figure gradually disappear into the distance, knowing that their brotherhood had come to an end.
From this day forward, they have forever lost an old brother named Tai Tan.
"The old gorilla wouldn't come here as a lobbyist for no reason, and he even tried to persuade us to leave Ye Clan. This is clearly a conspiracy set up against the Ye Clan, and the old gorilla is just a pawn." Yang Wudi came back to his senses and felt a chill run down his spine. The person behind the scenes was truly ruthless in targeting Ye Clan.
Bai He frowned deeply. "Who on earth is so ruthless?"
"Let's inform the sect leader about this matter and let him make the decision," Niu Gao suggested, and the three of them agreed.
Soon, the news reached Ye Tianxing.
After learning the whole story, Ye Tianxing looked towards the Shrek Academy, his eyes narrowed, and muttered, " Yu Xiaogang, just wait and see if I don't make you pay!"
