A Good Reason to Beat Up Tang San!
"Tang San? Blue Silver Grass?"
"Young Master Xiao, there is indeed someone like that."
"May I ask what you need him for?"
Hearing Xiao Xuan's description, Ma Xiuno immediately recalled him.
After all, anyone could remember Innate Full Spirit Power paired with Blue Silver Grass, even if they had dementia.
With the Saintess present, how would the old man dare lie?
Still, he was puzzled. What exactly did this young master of the Xiao Clan intend to do that he needed to mobilize the entire branch hall?
As he thought about it, he subconsciously glanced at Hu Liena.
He was unsure what status Xiao Xuan held at the moment.
If he was merely the second young master of the City Lord's Manor, Spirit Hall had no obligation to comply.
But if the Saintess was accompanying him, how could he be ordinary?
"Do as he says. He can represent me in all matters."
Hu Liena waved her hand without explaining directly.
In truth, she was also confused by Xiao Xuan's actions.
Judging by the name, Tang San ought to be a man.
Why had this boy suddenly returned home just to look for another man?
Seeing this, how could Ma Xiuno fail to understand?
This genius with the Three Lives Martial Soul had originally been taken away by a Titled Douluo.
Given this display, he had clearly received the Pope's approval. He absolutely could not afford to offend him.
"Tang San is currently a student at Nuoding Academy."
"His daily movements should not be difficult to track. Remember, do nothing unnecessary."
"There is no need to follow him, and don't ask around too much. I only need to know how he's been lately."
Although Tang Hao would not keep watch over his son at every moment,
it was still better not to make things too obvious, just to be safe.
As long as he confirmed that Tang San had recently been staying at the academy,
he would always find a way to complete his system mission.
In fact, Xiao Xuan already had a preliminary plan in mind.
It only depended on whether the timing aligned. That would be the perfect excuse to beat someone up!
"Let's go, Sister Nana."
"Father should have finished arranging things by now."
"I'll tell you about Tang San when I get the chance."
After giving his instructions, Xiao Xuan gestured for them to leave.
He noticed the deep confusion in Hu Liena's gaze beside him.
Without needing to think much, he immediately guessed what she was wondering.
He smiled but did not explain in front of outsiders.
After hearing Ma Xiuno's affirmative reply, they left for the City Lord's Manor.
"Master said that if I want to become an official disciple instead of a nominal one,"
"I need to make a sufficiently great contribution to Spirit Hall."
"So... I'm working very hard."
Xiao Xuan did not directly reveal Tang San's identity.
Naturally, it was not because he cared about that guy.
Rather, he had only just joined Spirit Hall, and their relationship of trust was not yet strong enough.
If he brought up such secret intelligence too early, it might instead arouse suspicion.
It was understandable for a mere six-year-old child to possess high talent and a fine martial soul.
But his identity was nothing more than the son of the city lord of Nuoding City, a small city in the Heaven Dou Empire.
How could he possibly know intelligence about Clear Sky Douluo and his son?
Could it be that he had another hidden identity?
And if so, had he infiltrated Spirit Hall with some other scheme in mind?
Xiao Xuan truly had no way to explain that at present.
Rather than expose himself and invite trouble, it was better to lay a little groundwork first.
When the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament began in the future, he could help Bibi Dong make her arrangements then.
At present, there were still many years before the major events of the original story unfolded.
Xiao Xuan had plenty of time to establish himself firmly within Spirit Hall.
"Mm, you're quite ambitious."
"When Master said that, she was really just observing you."
"But does this Tang San have some sort of connection to Spirit Hall?"
Hu Liena seemed to understand, yet not fully. Seeing that Xiao Xuan did not continue,
she asked no more questions. Like a little wife, she followed at his side, and they soon arrived inside the City Lord's Manor.
As long as Xiao Xuan's heart was with Spirit Hall and with Bibi Dong, nothing else mattered!
"I, Xiao Long, pay my respects to Your Saintess!"
"This is my son, Xiao Chenyu, Xiao Xuan's older brother."
"Saintess, please take a seat. The banquet has already been prepared."
"My humble residence is simple. Please forgive any shortcomings..."
The moment they entered the manor, Xiao Xuan noticed his adoptive father and adoptive brother standing respectfully together.
Beside them stood a large number of Nuoding City nobles.
They had all rushed over after hearing the news, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Saintess's esteemed presence.
Of course, none of them dared harbor improper thoughts.
They merely wanted to try their luck and see whether they could cling to Spirit Hall's lofty branch.
"I dislike crowds. Dismiss them."
"Xiao Xuan, bring some dinner to my room later so we can cultivate."
Hu Liena remained cold and aloof toward ordinary people.
She had not expected the Xiao Clan to be quite so enthusiastic.
Helplessly, Xiao Xuan secretly rolled his eyes and lightly pinched her waist.
Without waiting for a response, she directly instructed a maid to take her back to her room.
That little gesture could not possibly escape Xiao Long's notice.
He did not dare laugh aloud, but inwardly, he was already blooming with joy.
Just as expected of my son! At such a young age, he has already won over the Saintess. He truly has his father's style!
Wonderful! The Xiao Clan's revival is in sight!
"Since the Saintess dislikes crowds, everyone should leave."
"On another day, I, Xiao, will host a banquet for you all."
"Someone, see the guests out!"
City Lord Xiao directly issued an order to dismiss the guests, then immediately moved closer to Xiao Xuan.
One look at him was enough to tell that nothing good was about to come out of his mouth.
Xiao Xuan simply waved his hand, signaling that things were not as complicated as he thought.
Yet his gaze shifted toward his older brother.
"Big Brother, how have you been lately?"
"On my way back, I heard that things have not been going too smoothly for you at the academy?"
"Is there anything your little brother can help you with?"
After casually exchanging a few words with his father, Xiao Xuan immediately changed the subject.
He looked at his adoptive older brother with great interest.
That was right! This was part of Xiao Xuan's plan.
This useless older brother standing before him was precisely his reason to thoroughly beat up Tang San!
According to the recent events in the original story that he remembered,
after Tang San and Xiao Wu appeared at Nuoding Academy,
the work-study students had begun acting arrogantly, angering the other noble students.
As the city lord's son, this older brother of his, whose talent was mediocre, had always been the king of the children.
The two sides would arrange a fight, and in the end, Tang San would easily defeat him.
And that was exactly the excuse Xiao Xuan had been waiting for!
You beat up my brother, so as his younger brother, it would not be excessive for me to avenge him, right?
It would be even better if this unlucky older brother provoked Tang San and got beaten until he could not take care of himself.
That way, when Xiao Xuan struck heavily afterward, his reason would be even more justified!
Mm, although you'll take a beating for your little brother,
when I rise to greatness in Spirit Hall someday,
I definitely, absolutely won't forget the contribution you made today!
"The academy? Help?"
"Uh... Little Brother, are you hinting at something?"
"But it's true. Two tough troublemakers recently showed up among the work-study students."
"I was just preparing to teach them a lesson."
"Oh, right. Want to help your big brother out?"
After all, he was only a sixth-grade kid, just twelve or thirteen years old.
Having been domineering since childhood, how could he have so many deep thoughts?
Hearing this, and taking advantage of their father leaving to make arrangements,
he came over on his own, wanting to pull Xiao Xuan into it.
Big Brother, you set yourself up for this.
When you end up bedridden for several months after getting beaten up, don't blame me.
Of course, there was no need to worry about revenge.
"They're only a few work-study students. Big Brother, you're worrying too much."
"But since I happened to come back,"
"just go ahead. I'll back you up. Mm, no one gets to bully my beloved big brother!"
