Tang San's Overreaction, Grandmaster's Mysterious Confidence

Bibi Dong gave Qi Lin's cheek one final pinch, then her body suddenly rose into the air. In the next instant, she vanished into the horizon.

After leaving Qi Lin, Bibi Dong could not even be bothered to care about the last person in Nuoding City with Innate Full Soul Power.

It was only a rabbit spirit. Even with Innate Full Soul Power, could she possibly compare to Spirit Hall's Golden Generation?

Watching Bibi Dong disappear, Qi Lin shrugged. He bought some fruit on the street, picked up a few carrots for Xiao Wu as well, and returned to the Seventh Dormitory.

The moment he entered the dormitory, Xiao Wu came skipping over. The expression on her face made it clear that she was in an excellent mood.

Qi Lin pinched Xiao Wu's fair, tender cheek and teased her.

"Why are you so happy?"

Xiao Wu slightly raised her snowy chin and gave a soft huff, her face full of pride.

"From now on, I'm the only big sister at Nuoding Academy. Impressive, right?"

Today, she had led Xiao Chenyu and his group from the first grade all the way through the sixth grade. Now, aside from the teachers and Brother Qi Lin, everyone had to call her Sister Xiao Wu when they saw her.

"Very impressive!"

Qi Lin gave her a thumbs-up, then took out the fruit and carrots he had bought from the silver bracelet on his wrist.

He then looked at Wang Sheng and the others, who were swallowing their saliva, and smiled gently.

"I brought everyone some fruit. Come have a taste!"

It was not that he was trying to curry favor with anyone. In his previous life, whenever he returned from going out during college, he would always bring something back for his roommates.

Of course, most of it had been given to him by girls. He had simply regifted it to his roommates, and in the end, he had even gained several bargain sons.

Before Wang Sheng and the others could move, Xiao Wu's bright, watery eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Qi Lin, how did you know I was hungry? You even brought carrots back for me?"

"Xiao Wu likes you so much!"

Smack!

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wu snatched the carrots from Qi Lin's hand with lightning speed, then took the opportunity to kiss his cheek before returning to her bed with a grin.

At almost the exact same moment, the door to the Seventh Dormitory suddenly opened. Tang San stood there dumbfounded as he watched what had just happened. For some reason, a sharp pain suddenly twisted through his chest.

He glared furiously at Qi Lin and spoke loudly without giving him a chance to explain.

"Qi Lin, I never thought that you looked so harmless on the outside but were actually so shameless. You used carrots to trick Xiao Wu into kissing you."

Damn it!

They were just carrots, weren't they?

He could afford them too!

Qi Lin looked at Tang San in utter confusion. Wasn't this reaction a little excessive?

Before Qi Lin could explain, Xiao Wu glared at Tang San and put her hands on her hips.

"Tang San, your own thoughts are filthy, so don't assume everyone else is filthy too."

"Since this is your first offense, Sister Xiao Wu won't hold it against you. But if I ever see you slandering Brother Qi Lin again, I'll beat you to death."

When it came to people she did not care about, Xiao Wu had always been fierce and unreasonable. In front of so many people, she did not spare Tang San even a shred of dignity.

She even gave a final huff and hugged Qi Lin's arm right in front of Tang San.

When Tang San saw this, his slightly yellowed cheeks, pale from malnutrition, instantly flushed red.

Damn it, he had clearly been thinking of Xiao Wu, yet she did not appreciate it at all!

Tang San now felt like a clown.

As for Qi Lin, well...

As long as he was not embarrassed, someone else would be.

Qi Lin naturally pulled his arm out of Xiao Wu's embrace and looked at the others in the Seventh Dormitory.

"Don't just stand there, everyone. Come have a taste!"

"Ah, right!"

"Thank you, Brother Qi Lin!"

Only then did Wang Sheng and the others come back to their senses.

They accepted the fruit Qi Lin handed them as though it were priceless treasure, then began taking small bites.

To them, these were expensive fruits that only nobles could enjoy.

Finally, Qi Lin looked at Tang San and tried to ease the tension. "Tang San, that was a misunderstanding. We're all in the same dormitory, so come have some fruit."

However, after he spoke, Tang San merely gave him a somewhat cold and stiff reply.

"No need. I've already eaten at my teacher's place."

"Teacher?"

"That Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang who mooches meals at our Nuoding Academy?"

"He's your teacher?"

"You should have observed him for a while longer. How could you acknowledge a teacher so rashly?"

Wang Sheng, who was eating fruit, subconsciously chimed in after hearing Tang San's words.

A trace of curiosity and confusion could still be seen on his face.

After all, in his eyes, Tang San was a genius with Innate Full Soul Power. Though his spirit was only the Wasted Spirit Blue Silver Grass, he should not have needed to take Grandmaster as his teacher.

Had he been fooled?

But as soon as Wang Sheng finished speaking, Tang San's expression, which had only just eased, darkened again. He swept Wang Sheng with a cold gaze.

"I won't allow you to speak of my teacher like that. If there is a next time, don't blame me for turning on you."

Wang Sheng was startled by Tang San's icy gaze. His whole body trembled, and he immediately shut his mouth.

But inwardly, he felt quite indignant.

What was that about? Grandmaster himself openly claimed that he mooched meals.

Besides, Wang Sheng had only been worried that Tang San was being fooled.

Who would have thought his good intentions would be treated like dirt!

The others in the Seventh Dormitory also fell silent as cicadas in winter.

Tang San might not have been able to defeat Sister Xiao Wu, but he could easily crush all of them.

Of course, this was only a minor interlude. The next day, Tang San followed Grandmaster to the Soul Hunting Forest.

Along the way, Tang San mentioned Wang Sheng's "slander" of Grandmaster the previous day. But after hearing it, Yu Xiaogang merely waved his hand dismissively, his face brimming with confidence.

He looked intently at Tang San and spoke earnestly.

"Xiao San, are you willing to trust your teacher?"

Seeing the confidence written all over Yu Xiaogang's face, even Tang San was unconsciously influenced by him.

"Teacher, a teacher for a day is a father for life. Of course your disciple is willing to trust you."

Grandmaster's expression became even more satisfied and confident.

"Good, Xiao San!"

"I knew I had not misjudged you!"

"Since you are willing to trust your teacher, your teacher will never disappoint you."

"Rest assured. After so many years of research, adding a Poison Soul Ring to Blue Silver Grass is absolutely the most correct choice."

Although there had never been a precedent of adding a Poison Soul Ring to Blue Silver Grass before, and the theory was still only at the speculation stage.

Yu Xiaogang still had absolute confidence in his own deduction!

After that, the two put on another display of deep affection between master and disciple.

More than ten days later!

Tang San and Yu Xiaogang returned to the academy. Yu Xiaogang's face was deathly pale, and one of his arms was wrapped in bandages.

Though the pair, one old and one young, looked extremely bedraggled, their eyes shone with spirit and confidence.

Yu Xiaogang in particular was visibly injured, yet his spirits were exceptionally high.

To him, the theories he had researched were even more important than life itself.

Fortunately, he had won the gamble!

Not only had Xiao San absorbed the Mandala Snake's Soul Ring, but his body had not shown any abnormalities. Even his spirit displayed no obvious rejection.

Furthermore, Xiao San's First Spirit Ability, Blue Silver Bind, was remarkably practical.

Not only could it bind enemies, but it also contained the Mandala Snake's venom.

Yu Xiaogang was undoubtedly very satisfied with this result.

Because it proved that his deduction had been entirely correct!

At this thought, Yu Xiaogang was filled with high spirits. Once he returned to the academy, he intended to immediately record Xiao San's case.

After Xiao San shook the continent, he would publish it all and have every Blue Silver Grass spirit master add Poison Soul Rings.

That would count as benefiting the masses!
