Our Son Doesn't Know How to Suck Up
The right track? Or the right path? Your choice of words is quite cunning!
Lin Hai pondered inwardly, but remained outwardly calm, simply nodding and saying, "Thank you for accepting. Is there anything else?"
"Uh..." Seeing that Lin Hai was a bit unyielding, Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak frankly:
"I've heard Xiao San talk about the Immortal Herb, and I understand that if the properties don't match, it will be harmful and not beneficial after taking it."
"But didn't you say before that you were going to the Lake of Life to find the Immortal Herb?"
"With your current strength... you should be able to come and go freely in the Star Dou Great Forest, right?"
Fearing that Lin Hai might pretend not to understand him, he quickly added:
"As you know, the Xiao San... and Oscar and the others are all rare geniuses."
"If we can obtain the help of the Immortal Herb, our future achievements will be limitless."
"Furthermore... if we can truly find the Nine-grade Purple Ganoderma or the Eight-petal Immortal Orchid you mentioned, and resolve the flaws in my Martial Soul, then I, Yu Xiaogang, am willing to dedicate my entire life to repaying your life-saving grace!"
Lin Hai smiled and nodded, his tone relaxed. "No problem."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Yu Xiaogang stood still, his gaze fixed on Lin Hai's retreating figure, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.
He was dissatisfied with Lin Hai's attitude, and that nonchalant response made him feel even more slighted.
But his greatest resentment was directed at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and his father.
In his view, Lin Hai's drastic change in attitude and his growing distance from him was entirely due to Yu Yunting's attempt to kidnap Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, which had angered him.
As for myself, I was merely an innocent bystander, a victim of my family's foolishness.
He sighed deeply and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly froze, then quickly walked towards the dense forest on one side.
Entering the forest, he looked around and tentatively called out in a low voice, "Your Clear Sky Majesty?"
A moment later, Tang Hao slowly emerged from behind a thick, ancient tree, his expression wary.
Yu Xiaogang stepped forward a few paces, his tone tinged with doubt, and asked:
"Your Clear Sky Majesty, what exactly is going on? You seem to be acting with unusual caution lately?"
"Do you know who that silver-haired woman who came to Spirit City with Shrek Academy is?" Tang Hao asked expressionlessly.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and finally shook his head.
Although he had seen the extraordinary silver-haired woman in the past few days, he only knew that she was Lin Hai's friend and knew nothing about her identity.
The same applies to Flender and others.
"She is the High Priestess of Sea God Island, Bo Saixi!" Tang Hao said the name almost tremblingly, his eyes filled with undisguised awe.
He was strong and unyielding throughout his life, and had no faith other than the Clear Sky Sect.
Apart from his grandfather Tang Chen, he had never truly trusted anyone.
But Bo Saixi was a partial exception!
This woman had once defeated his invincible grandfather.
This woman's subordinates had also captured him and Tang Xiao alive.
This woman... he may not believe her, but he has no choice but to respect her.
"Sea God Island?!" Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, his face filled with shock.
He had a deep impression of that mysterious place that was beyond the mainland.
He was one of the people who accompanied the Spirit Hall when they gathered a large number of Soul Master to conquer Sea God Island.
The memory of that brutal battle still sends shivers down my spine.
It is no exaggeration to say that a large part of the reason he was able to return to the mainland alive was that he was too weak and not qualified to charge into battle.
"High Priestess? Is he one of the leaders of Sea God Island?" Yu Xiaogang suppressed the shock in his heart and asked.
Back then, as a lowly henchman, he naturally had no chance to come into contact with the name Bo Saixi.
"It's the leader..." Tang Hao nodded, adding in a heavy tone, "But there is no one else."
"She is the strongest on Sea God Island, a level 99 Peerless Douluo."
"Also on the sea, he defeated my grandfather and Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined the Spirit Hall, and was called 'Invincible in the water' by the two of them, with the title... Sea God."
Yu Xiaogang was stunned, and after a long while, he frowned and said:
"Don't the Soul Master of Sea God Island never associate with Land Soul Master? How come she suddenly appears here?"
Tang Hao shook his head, his brows furrowed. "I don't know the specifics either."
"So you've been so cautious these days to avoid her?" Yu Xiaogang seemed to understand something and asked tentatively.
"Not entirely..." Tang Hao waved his hand, seemingly unwilling to delve deeper into the topic.
"Let's not talk about that for now. What did you and Lin Hai talk about just now?"
The main reason he's been hiding these days is because of Lin Hai.
That kid's Spiritual Power was ridiculously strong, and his perception range was frighteningly large, so he really had to be on guard.
Just now, he didn't even dare to get too close to eavesdrop on their conversation, and he didn't dare to use his Spiritual Power at all, for fear of being detected.
Yu Xiaogang sighed and recounted their previous conversation, as well as Lin Hai's noticeably cold attitude, adding at the end:
"This Lin Hai is really too strange."
"He treats the women around him very well, as can be seen from his killing of the Second Elder and his rampage in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"They've been quite good to Flender and Dai Mubai, helping them whenever they can."
"Including me... Before the family targeted Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing, although he wasn't close to me, he still maintained basic respect when we met."
"They even took the initiative to help analyze my Martial Soul problem and gave me some suggestions."
"But when it comes to his Xiao San, he always seems to ignore her, or even be described as indifferent."
Then, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face. "The reason for this may also be related to the Xiao San's own personality."
"That kid has an inherent arrogance and is not good at... or rather, he disdains to lower himself like Oscar and Ma Hongjun."
He phrased it somewhat tactfully, but the meaning was clear: our son won't lick boots.
Upon hearing this, Tang Hao gave a noncommittal snort and said in a deep voice:
"Xiao San still doesn't know that his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul is different from others."
"In addition, with the continuous emergence of genius Soul Master on the mainland in the past two years, he has been unable to accept it for a while, and his mentality has been affected."
"Go and talk to him, help him calm down."
"Regarding his Martial Soul... if necessary, you can give him a subtle hint to make him more patient and hopeful."
Upon hearing this, a look of melancholy appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.
He spent two years in Heaven Dou City, and through observation and comparison, he had long since come to a clear understanding—
Trying to prove oneself by training Tang San as a disciple would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
In today's Soul Master World, there are far too many prodigies of Tang San's generation.
Even if he manages to train Tang San into Super Douluo in the future, it will probably be difficult to cause too much of a stir.
Now, he's in a bind.
Tang San kept calling him "teacher," so it wouldn't be right for him not to continue teaching him.
But in his heart, training Tang San had become a side job.
Finding a way to obtain the Immortal Herb from Lin Hai is the most important thing right now!
