She Insisted, and You Just Accepted?

Tang San organized his words in his mind and said jokingly:

"Su Yan, Xiao Wu invited you to eat and ordered such a lavish spread. Why did you let a monkey sit at the table too?"

"What I mean is, isn't this a bit wasteful?"

Huh?

Su Yan looked at Tang San with a strange expression.

Buddy.

Was there a chance Xiao Wu was the one treating everyone?

And was there another chance that I only got to eat eight dishes because I was riding Little Monkey's coattails?

Xiao Wu instantly understood what Tang San meant. She slammed her chopsticks onto the table, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Tang San angrily as she demanded:

"Tang San!"

"What did Xiao San ever do to you?"

"Why do you always like picking on Xiao San?"

Damn it.

The moment Tang San heard Xiao Wu's name for a monkey, his hackles rose!

She called me Tang San, but she called a little monkey Xiao San?

Such an intimate name—was Tang San not even as good as a little monkey?

Was Tang San not even as good as Su Yan's Martial Soul?

Facing Xiao Wu's questioning, Tang San replied with some confidence:

"I wasn't picking on it. I just think this meal isn't cheap, and feeding it to a useless Martial Soul is a waste."

Su Yan almost laughed.

As a Soul Beast, especially one with no kin in the human world, Xiao Wu naturally felt closest to Little Monkey.

Yet Tang San kept thinking Xiao Wu was close to him and always tried to attack Little Monkey.

Wasn't he walking into the line of fire every single time?

Who calls their future brother-in-law a dumbass before they had even won the girl over?

Su Yan said solemnly:

"Tang San, I don't agree with what you said! Your teacher, Yu Xiaogang, once said, 'There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters.'"

"My Little Monkey isn't a useless Martial Soul!"

Hearing Su Yan's words, Xiao Wu looked at him and nodded approvingly. She liked kindhearted people like Su Yan who treated Soul Beasts well.

Tang San was completely choked up. He even wanted to declare Yu Xiaogang guilty of the Way of Seeking Death.

What kind of nonsense was that?

A useless Martial Soul was still a useless Martial Soul, wasn't it?

Teacher, when you said that, had a donkey kicked you in the head?

"Hmph."

Xiao Wu snorted and sat back down to continue eating.

This meal had cost her quite a bit. She couldn't waste it just because she was angry with Tang San.

Little Monkey thoughtfully picked up some greens for Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu immediately brightened and said with a smile:

"Thank you, Xiao San."

Tang San watched from the side, and he was absolutely furious!

He couldn't understand it!

He truly couldn't understand it!

Even if a useless Martial Soul had mutated and looked like a Soul Beast, so what?!

What exactly was Xiao Wu thinking?

Damn it.

Evil Martial Soul.

You, too, have entered the Way of Seeking Death!

Su Yan was eating peacefully when he turned and saw Tang San nearly dying of anger, yet unable to lash out because of Xiao Wu. Unable to hold it in, he burst out laughing.

"Pfft."

That mouthful of rice sprayed right onto Tang San's face, making him even angrier.

"Su Yan!"

Tang San shot to his feet and glared furiously at Su Yan, suppressing the urge to use a Hidden Weapon to kill him. Su Yan had truly entered the Way of Seeking Death!

Sensing Tang San's hostility, Little Monkey turned and glared fiercely at him. If it hadn't needed to obey its Master, it would have taken out its Iron Rod and cracked Tang San's skull open.

Su Yan laughed awkwardly and said:

"Sorry."

"I just suddenly remembered something funny. Tang San, do you know who paid for this meal?"

Tang San had been fuming, but Su Yan's words left him somewhat confused.

"What do you mean?"

Su Yan glanced at Xiao Wu and replied to Tang San:

"Xiao Wu paid for this meal."

"What?!"

Tang San became even angrier. He looked at Xiao Wu in disbelief, then at the lavish dishes covering the table. He couldn't accept it!

Xiao Wu had actually spent money on such a lavish meal?

I wouldn't even bear to eat a single carrot of Xiao Wu's! Yet this bastard Su Yan had the nerve to take advantage of her?

Damn it!

You really deserve to die!

"Su Yan, are you even a man? You actually made Xiao Wu treat you to a meal and spend so much money?"

Su Yan looked at Tang San and put on a troubled expression.

"She insisted on treating me."

He even looked rather innocent, as though Xiao Wu had forced him to eat. That nearly made Tang San explode with rage.

"You..."

Tang San's face instantly darkened, and a flash of hatred passed through his eyes.

"She insisted on treating you, and you accepted?"

"Didn't I tell you that Xiao Wu likes eating Carrots? She needs to save her money to buy Carrots. Didn't I tell you that?"

Tang San was enraged.

She wanted to, so you just let her?

You bastard, don't you know how to refuse?

Xiao Wu was about to have no money left to buy Carrots, and you didn't even feel sorry for her?

Su Yan stood up and looked at Tang San strangely. He deliberately said, "She insisted—oh, no! She insisted on treating me. I had no choice but to accept."

The three divine techniques from the Novice Gift Pack had given him more than enough confidence, and his Soul Power had risen several levels as well. No matter how one looked at it, the current Tang San was nothing.

Before the Imperial Japanese Army arrived, you bullied me. After they arrived, you still bullied me?

Then hadn't the Imperial Japanese Army come for nothing?

Xiao Wu stood up as well and snapped at Tang San irritably, "Tang San, are you so full that you have nothing better to do?"

"What does it have to do with you how I spend my own money?"

That made Tang San even angrier!

Su Yan, you have absolutely entered the Way of Seeking Death.

A voice suddenly came from the staircase.

"What are you doing?"

Yu Xiaogang walked over from the stairs. He could tell the three had gotten into a conflict, and he fixed his gaze on Su Yan with a hint of disgust.

"Su Yan, hurry up and apologize to Xiao San!"

Uh?

Su Yan frowned at Yu Xiaogang and said displeasedly:

"Master, you're making me apologize without even knowing what happened. Is that polite?"

Yu Xiaogang replied coldly:

"There is no need to determine who is right or wrong in this matter. Setting the facts aside."

"Su Yan, don't forget that you are a useless Soul Master. If you and Xiao San weren't from the same village, and if Xiao San hadn't taken care of you all these years, would you have been able to remain safe at the academy without being bullied?"

Su Yan was so angry he laughed.

"Heh!"

"What an outrageous thing to say."

Xiao Wu said speechlessly, "Master, Su Yan is so well-liked at the academy. Who would bully him?"

Yu Xiaogang said, "That is because of Tang San. In any case, Su Yan, apologize to Tang San, and this matter will be over."

"Tch!"

Xiao Wu was even more speechless. "Tang San has fewer friends at the academy than Su Yan."

Su Yan glanced at Tang San, then looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked:

"What if I refuse to apologize today?"

Tang San was level twenty-eight, while Yu Xiaogang was level twenty-nine.

Even if their master and disciple joined forces, Su Yan could beat them senseless with one hand!

Seeing Su Yan remain so ungrateful, Yu Xiaogang became irritated. His gaze grew even more disgusted.

"Xiao San is a genius, while you are merely a useless Soul Master with no hope of becoming a High-Level Soul Master. You will need Xiao San to look after you in the future."

"Are you sure you want to fall out with Xiao San?"

Su Yan sneered.

"You should make things clear. Xiao Wu and I were eating when Tang San came looking for trouble. It wasn't me trying to start a conflict with him."

"Second, during these six years at Nuoding Academy, Tang San has never stood up for me. I would accept it if you said Xiao Wu had protected me, but Tang San never did."

"Fine."

"Don't regret it!"

Yu Xiaogang gave Su Yan a cold look, then turned his gaze toward Tang San.

"Xiao San, let's go."
