Tang San's Break Defense! Driving Xiao Wu Away!

If Xiao Wu and the other two women had not known, there would have been nothing they could do. But now that they knew of Yu Xiaogang's deception and stupidity, how could they possibly remain at Shrek?

It was just that they had nowhere to go for the time being and had not found a new place to settle, so the three of them could only make long-term plans.

Xiao Wu was the first to set a goal. "Before we truly leave, we still need to find someone."

"I absolutely cannot let Xiao San be delayed by Yu Xiaogang any longer!"

Ning Rongrong nodded. She was the smartest among them and took the initiative to explain:

"Like this—there's no need to rush. Let's test the waters first."

"I'll talk to Xiao Ao, Zhuqing will talk to Dai Laoda, and Xiao Wu, you'll be responsible for Third Brother."

"We'll first reveal some of Master's problems and see how they react. If we rush too much, it may be counterproductive!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu nodded. The three people began discussing exactly how they should speak to the others the next day.

Time slowly passed.

The next day...

The three women acted separately. Xiao Wu found Tang San and began beating around the bush about some of Yu Xiaogang's problems.

"Xiao San, if you can absorb both plant Soul Rings and beast Soul Rings, why go out of your way?"

"Xiao San, haven't you noticed that Blue Silver Grass's vitality is its strongest trait? Poison feels somewhat useless, doesn't it?"

"Xiao San, tell me—if someone stole another person's things, then claimed them as their own and used them to gain fame, wouldn't that be disgusting and shameful?"

Xiao Wu was still cautious. She did not directly speak ill of Yu Xiaogang. Even when mentioning plagiarism, she did not name anyone.

But she had not expected that perhaps because she mentioned stealing, Tang San unconsciously thought of his previous life.

The moment Tang San heard this, his expression darkened. "Xiao Wu, what are you talking about?"

"Who are you talking about? Who says it must definitely be theft?"

"What if someone was merely under duress and wanted to promote a certain skill?"

Xiao Wu froze upon hearing this. How could she know that Tang San had also stolen the Tang Sect's Hidden Weapon techniques in his previous life? Naturally, hearing such things stirred his emotions.

She thought Tang San had guessed that she was talking about Yu Xiaogang.

But that only made Xiao Wu even more confused. Since you guessed I was talking about Yu Xiaogang, why were you still speaking for him?

Xiao Wu became somewhat angry as well. "Xiao San, why are you being so aggressive?"

"Did I say who it was? I'm talking about this kind of thing!"

"If someone really stole the fruits of another person's labor, wouldn't they be a deceitful villain?"

"Why are you defending him? No matter who it is, shouldn't anyone who does such a thing be despised?"

"Promoting it, my ass... flaunting someone else's things before others—such a person is simply a beast!"

To persuade Tang San more forcefully, Xiao Wu had no choice but to curse Yu Xiaogang like this, hoping to awaken Tang San's conscience and make him see how disgusting Yu Xiaogang was.

But she truly had not expected that Tang San had done exactly those things.

The more Xiao Wu spoke and cursed, the more uncomfortable Tang San felt. Wasn't she obviously cursing him?

Tang San began to suspect, Is Xiao Wu talking about me?

Does she suspect that, at such a young age, I could make so many Hidden Weapons only because I stole them?

Thinking of this, Tang San gave a muffled snort. "Xiao Wu, enough!"

"Who exactly are you talking about? You might as well say it clearly. There's no need to point to the mulberry and curse the locust!"

"Who I'm talking about, what I'm saying—you don't know?" Xiao Wu retorted.

In her eyes, Tang San's fierce defense meant that he had guessed she was talking about Yu Xiaogang.

If she were talking about an irrelevant person, why would Tang San try to whitewash theft?

Yet those very words made Tang San even more terrified!

I know? Tang San swallowed, his heartbeat accelerating as he looked at Xiao Wu. She said I know?

Could Xiao Wu have learned somehow that my Hidden Weapon techniques were stolen?

That makes sense... In anyone's eyes, it would be impossible for someone as young as me to have come up with so many Mysterious Techniques and Hidden Weapon methods on my own.

It would be perfectly reasonable for her to suspect that I stole those skills!

Damn it!

The techniques of Hidden Weapons, along with the secret of his theft in his previous life, were Tang San's most untouchable reverse scales!

No one could touch them, and no one could speak of them!

He was Tang San, pure and untainted—the genius of Hidden Weapons, not some thief!

Even if he had stolen in his previous life, it had only been to make the Tang Sect stronger and preserve the inheritance of Hidden Weapons!

Could something done by a Hidden Weapon practitioner even be called stealing?!

No one—not even his father or the person he loved—could speak of or involve themselves in such matters!

Tang San immediately flew into a rage. "Shut up!"

"Xiao Wu, I don't want to hear another word. Stop talking right now!"

"From today onward, no one may speak of this topic again. If you still consider me your older brother, then don't bring it up again!"

"What?"

Xiao Wu was stunned as well. How could she have expected that merely mocking Yu Xiaogang a few times would provoke such fury from Tang San?

Wasn't she Tang San's younger sister?

Hadn't he said that even if everyone wanted to kill her, they would have to step over his corpse first?

Could it be that before that useless Yu Xiaogang, she, Xiao Wu, was not even as important as him? Did he value Yu Xiaogang more?!

Xiao Wu immediately felt a stabbing pain in her heart. Clutching her chest, she asked Tang San in distress:

"Xiao San, do you know what you're saying?!"

"I'm your younger sister! I'm helping you!"

"I said, Xiao Wu..." Seeing Xiao Wu like this, Tang San felt great pain in his heart.

But this involved the secret of his previous life, and he had to suppress it. Thus, he replied coldly, "No one may mention this matter again!"

"Since you have your suspicions, then let them remain buried."

"Xiao Wu, I can only tell you that my conscience is clear..."

"You!"

"Xiao San!"

Seeing Tang San so resolute, even disregarding the bond between older brother and younger sister, Xiao Wu immediately burst into tears:

"Fine, then I won't care anymore!"

"You're bringing this upon yourself! Following someone like that will get you killed sooner or later!"

After saying that, Xiao Wu flung her hand away and left, choking back sobs.

She only wanted to help Tang San, only wanted to help her older brother. But why had Yu Xiaogang, a man who stole others' fame and deceived the world, created such a rift between them?

Could it be that Xiao San also approved of someone like Yu Xiaogang, and the things Yu Xiaogang had done?

Could it be that this teacher-student pair were birds of a feather, equally foul and rotten?

Xiao Wu kept clutching her chest, enduring enormous pain in her heart.

On the other side, Tang San felt as though his heart were being cut apart as well.

His expression was filled with agony...

"Why did this happen? How did Xiao Wu suddenly guess the origin of my Hidden Weapons?"

"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry. Your older brother didn't want to make you sad, but you shouldn't have touched upon this matter..."

"Xiao Wu, don't worry. As long as you never mention stealing Hidden Weapons again in the future, you will still be my best younger sister."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Wu..."

Tang San had no choice. Even if he liked Xiao Wu, this matter involved his very foundation.

He would naturally have to care about himself first. Only then would come outsiders.
