Douluo: Reincarnated as Fei, Illusory Unicorn Nebula, Section 17

He suddenly felt that Tang San seemed to have gotten stupid.

"What do you mean, I don't know how to appreciate a favor?"

"Tang San, are you all right?"

Fei gave a soft snort, refusing to stoop to Tang San's level.

"Anyway, I'm not interested in taking a master."

"That old-fashioned routine again."

Hearing this, Tang San immediately became annoyed, and his expression turned rather unpleasant.

"Xiao San, forget it." Yu Xiaogang placed a hand on Tang San's head and shook his head.

Then, with a solemn expression and an inscrutable air, he said, "Those powerful people who achieve remarkable things are all capable of seizing opportunities. Those who don't know how to seize opportunities are destined to live mediocre lives."

The corner of Fei's mouth twitched slightly.

"I don't like hearing you say that."

Fei turned around and met Yu Xiaogang's gaze. Somewhat displeased, he said, "Regardless of what you're thinking, don't say it so openly, all right? It's not as if I begged you to take me as your disciple. You're making it sound as though I did something wrong."

"Enough."

"I'm magnanimous. I won't hold it against you."

Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened.

But Fei had already turned around and left.

He couldn't possibly swallow his pride and try to stop him.

"Hmph! What an arrogant fellow! He'll never amount to much!" Yu Xiaogang thought, his expression indescribably ugly.

"Teacher, don't be angry." Tang San keenly noticed that something was wrong with Yu Xiaogang's mood. He knew that Yu Xiaogang's fragile self-esteem was acting up again.

He immediately consoled him, "Teacher, it's his loss that Fei didn't take you as his master. Don't take it to heart."

"Of course I won't stoop to quarreling with a child like Fei." Yu Xiaogang's expression relaxed considerably, and he returned to his previous calm, self-assured, superior manner.

"However..." Tang San hesitated before saying, "Teacher, could you try persuading Xiao Wu again? Xiao Wu has a lively personality and needs a famous master to teach her carefully."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly understood why Tang Hao had asked him to take Xiao Wu as his disciple.

His gaze toward Tang San also became strange.

"Teacher... what's wrong?" Tang San asked somewhat awkwardly. Yu Xiaogang's gaze was just like when he had seen through Tang San's Twin Martial Souls, as though he had seen through everything.

"I know..." Yu Xiaogang shook his head, having no intention of exposing Tang San's thoughts. However, he still had to explain Tang Hao's intentions to Tang San.

"Xiao San, I permit you to spend more time with Xiao Wu from now on."

At this, Tang San's eyes lit up.

This is great!

He had thought that after Yu Xiaogang spoke to him last time, he truly wouldn't allow him to interact with Xiao Wu anymore.

There was only one girl in the work-study students' dormitory: Xiao Wu.

And throughout Nuoding Academy, there wasn't a girl prettier than Xiao Wu.

This left Tang San, who had come from Sheng Hun Village and had little experience with the outside world, somewhat dazed for a moment.

"Sigh..." Yu Xiaogang let out a soft sigh. As someone who had once been experienced with women, he could see through Tang San's thoughts at a glance.

Back when he was young, before people started calling him an "old man," he had also been handsome and extraordinary, a suave and romantic man.

Otherwise, how could he have made two peerlessly beautiful women fall in love with him?

"That Yu Xiaogang really is useless!"

"He can't even handle such a small matter!"

Tang Hao had witnessed everything that had happened.

Seeing that Yu Xiaogang was so incapable, he immediately began to doubt Yu Xiaogang's abilities.

But he couldn't personally intervene.

Otherwise, Tang San's training would be hindered.

Helpless, he could only place his hopes on Yu Xiaogang, while also hoping that Tang San could put in some effort himself.

Just as he had done back then.

The days passed one after another.

That night, Tang San came to Fei's bedside and said flatly, "Fei, I need your help with something. Get up."

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm not your lackey. Don't talk to me in that commanding tone!" Fei said, deeply dissatisfied. He curled his lips and looked extremely impatient.

Even if Fei was harmonious, friendly, and eager to help others, he still wasn't someone who could be summoned at a beck and call!

He was asking someone for help, yet he didn't even know how to say "please."

Could Tang San think that just because we've known each other since childhood, I'll agree to any request he makes without conditions?

Fei rolled his eyes.

"Xiao San, what do you need? I can help you!" Wang Sheng patted his chest and said with a grin.

Tang San was the publicly acknowledged second-strongest student in the work-study students' dormitory. As its former boss and current fourth-strongest, he naturally ought to take the initiative to speak up.

"You can't help me."

Tang San shook his head and said to Fei, "I need someone with extremely high defensive power to test something. Only Fei meets this condition."

"Go on, go play somewhere else!" Fei waved his hand, driving Tang San away like a fly.

What kind of nonsense is that?!

He made it sound as though Fei owed Tang San something!

"Can't you see I'm sleeping? Stop bothering me!"

Fei rolled over and scratched his butt.

"Xiao San, what exactly do you want?" Xiao Wu furrowed her willow brows slightly. Suddenly, she felt that Tang San was being a little too much.

Fei had already refused him so openly.

Yet he was still pestering him without giving up.

"Xiao Wu, I just..." Tang San wanted to mention the words "hidden weapons," but when he remembered that Wang Sheng and the others were still there, he immediately chose to keep it hidden.

If Xiao Wu had been alone, he could have told her.

But not the others.

Even Fei was only qualified to be his test subject.

Seeing Tang San hemming and hawing, Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips and said with a frown, "Why are you being so long-winded? Just say it! You really don't seem like a man!"

A bitter smile appeared on Tang San's face.

But since it was Xiao Wu speaking, the girl he had developed a favorable impression of, he couldn't bear to say anything harsh or argue with her.

He glanced at Fei, who had already fallen asleep. The indulgence he felt toward Xiao Wu instantly turned into anger when transferred to Fei.

You and I both come from the same place, yet you won't even help me with such a small favor! All you know how to do is sleep all day. You'll sleep yourself to death sooner or later!

Tang San snorted inwardly.

He then decided to find some inanimate objects to use as test subjects instead.

"Xiao Wu, I have some excellent treasures here. Do you want to see them?"

Tang San remembered the task Yu Xiaogang had given him: to build a good relationship with Xiao Wu.

He was more than happy to do so.

He immediately decided to reveal some of his secrets to Xiao Wu.

"Treasures?" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She genuinely thought Tang San had some excellent treasures. But then she remembered that Tang San spent all his money on food every day and was completely broke.

He barely even had any Copper Soul Coins. How could he possibly have any treasures?

"You're lying!" Xiao Wu said disdainfully. "You don't even have a single Copper Soul Coin on you. How could you possibly have any excellent treasures?"

Xiao Wu gave a soft snort, then turned and returned to her bed. She flopped backward, stretched out her legs, and ignored Tang San.

"This..."

The corner of Tang San's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt like crying without tears.

Money really is the best thing! I need to start saving. I can't keep going on like this.
