Tang San's mouth twitched hard at the side. He could not help glaring fiercely at Fei.

Of all things to bring up!

Sooner or later, I'll sew that mouth of yours shut!

"Why are you glaring at me?" Fei asked in surprise. "Xiao Wu said a few things about you just now, and you didn't glare at her. I only mentioned it once, and you're already getting worked up!"

"Sure enough... people really are different!"

Tang San kept taking deep breaths.

Only after his emotions had calmed did he begin reading the letter in his hand.

Meanwhile.

"You rotten A Fei! What did you mean when you said Xiao San didn't have a mother?" Xiao Wu blinked and asked curiously.

"Exactly what it sounds like!" Fei sighed. "Poor kid..."

"And you have the nerve to talk about me! What about yourself?" Tang San could not hold it in any longer. He erupted like a volcano, his face flushed crimson.

He normally did not get angry—unless he could not help it.

"I'm an orphan too! What's the big deal?" Fei looked somewhat wistful, like a melancholy prince. "A strong person like me must always grow used to loneliness..."

"Wow!!!"

The moment Fei said that.

Exclamations rose one after another throughout Seven Dormitory.

Fei looked up and discovered that Wang Sheng and the others were egging him on.

"Brother Fei, you were so cool just now!" Wang Sheng could not help saying.

"Of course!" Fei suddenly turned serious and pointed his thumb at himself.

"When has Fei ever not been handsome?"

"Give him an inch, and he takes a mile!"

"Narcissist!"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. She pulled the blanket over herself and loved no one.

Tang San also looked at Fei speechlessly.

How could someone be this shameless?

"Brother Fei, how come you can always say those... things that just sound so cool?"

A gleam shone in Wang Sheng's eyes, his face full of anticipation. Clearly, he had coveted Fei's way of showing off for a long time.

"Want to learn? I can teach you!"

Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded wildly in excitement.

"Tomorrow," Fei said, lying back. "Now, lights out! Those who need to cultivate, cultivate. Those who need to sleep, sleep!"

Only after Seven Dormitory had completely fallen silent did Tang San slowly get out of bed and walk outside.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, tears could not help flowing from his eyes.

"Sigh..."

He had grown up without a mother, and now his father was gone too...

Tang San, where exactly should I go for the rest of my life?

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang's "big-headed portrait" appeared on the surface of the moon in Tang San's vision.

"That's right!"

"I still have Teacher!"

"A teacher for a day, a father for life! Teacher will be my second father from now on!"

In the darkness.

Tang Hao happened to be keeping an eye on Xiao Wu, preventing her from slipping out of his control. This also allowed him to keep track of Tang San's life along the way.

Tang San's words were also heard loud and clear "by accident."

Tang Hao's face immediately darkened like ink, though it could not be seen in the night. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to hang Yu Xiaogang up and whip him on the spot!

Yu Xiaogang? Someone he had never even deigned to look at was now on equal footing with him! And his son had even acknowledged him as a father!

This was outrageous!

The more Tang Hao thought about it, the angrier he became. He immediately left the work-study student dormitory and shot toward where Yu Xiaogang was staying.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang's room was still lit. Yu Xiaogang himself was studying the books in his hands at his desk.

"Absorbing a five-hundred- to six-hundred-year Soul Ring as a first Soul Ring... that's impossible..."

"Spirit Hall's books have no record of it. Or perhaps the books I've read did not record such things, and I have never seen the books that truly contain that knowledge."

Though Yu Xiaogang had not seemed to care about Tang San's question during the day, he had actually remembered it deeply, and it had swiftly turned into an obsession.

He would not rest until he got to the bottom of it!

He believed Tang San had not lied to him. The only suspicious point could be Fei.

"Fei must have lied."

"How could anyone in this world absorb a Soul Ring older than 423 years as their first Soul Ring?"

Yu Xiaogang closed the thick book in his hands and prepared to rest.

He had read most of Spirit Hall's books. The highest Soul Ring absorption age recorded among them was 423 years.

Spirit Hall had stood on the continent for ten thousand years. It could not possibly be wrong!

With that thought, Yu Xiaogang set aside his worries and decided not to think about it for the time being. At the same time, he decided to have a proper talk with Fei tomorrow.

At such a young age, he was already lying!

Just as Yu Xiaogang was preparing to rest, Tang Hao suddenly smashed through the window and entered the room. His face beneath the black robe was exceedingly cold.

"You are?" Yu Xiaogang looked at the somewhat familiar figure, but did not dare confirm it right away. The other party had come aggressively, and Yu Xiaogang could not help feeling nervous.

"Yu Xiaogang..."

Tang Hao had originally thought of many things to say. But when he considered that Yu Xiaogang might be the only one who could help Tang San solve the problem of cultivating Twin Martial Souls, he suddenly fell silent.

"Are you Haotian Mianxia?" Yu Xiaogang asked tentatively.

Tang Hao pulled back his black robe and revealed his face.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief.

In the middle of the night, a black-robed man had suddenly appeared, arriving aggressively and looking hostile. He clearly did not seem like a good person.

But since it was Tang Hao, everything made sense.

"May I ask what brings Haotian Mianxia here this time?" Yu Xiaogang asked softly, his eyes full of confusion.

Tang Hao had just come looking for him two days ago, and now he was here again.

Could it be that he had some other valuable treasure for him?

Or perhaps he was giving him some Gold Soul Coins to use?

After all, Tang San was at the age where he was growing. He could not lack nutrition.

That skinny, stick-like body looked pitiful just to see.

Over the past few days, he had eaten through half a month of Yu Xiaogang's food expenses. He truly must have been starving.

Naturally, Tang Hao did not know what Yu Xiaogang was thinking. Even if he did, there was no way he would grant Yu Xiaogang's wishes.

"Master, there was something I didn't tell you last time. From now on, have Xiao San spend more time with Xiao Wu and make their relationship closer."

"Better yet... take Xiao Wu as your disciple too, and make her and Xiao San fellow disciples."

"Ah?" Yu Xiaogang could not understand Tang Hao's train of thought. In his view, Xiao Wu had already seriously affected Tang San's cultivation progress. She often distracted Tang San and delayed his cultivation.

Therefore, he directly told Tang Hao all of his thoughts.

Tang Hao's expression darkened in displeasure. "Do as I say! You don't need to worry about anything else!"

"This... all right..." Yu Xiaogang sighed inwardly. But since Tang Hao had spoken, he had no right to refuse.

From Tang Hao's words, he already knew that Tang Hao had not truly left and was still carefully watching over Tang San.

"And one more thing..." Tang Hao took a deep breath, his gaze toward Yu Xiaogang becoming somewhat hostile.

Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly.
