Yu Xiaogang

Tang San listened while nodding, then smiled and said, "Grandpa Jack, thank you so much."

Old Jack smiled and patted Tang San's little head, saying, "What are you thanking me for? You and Tang Yu are both the hope of our village."

Hearing this, Tang Yu stumbled and nearly fell; he never expected that one day he would become the hope of an entire village!

On the way, the three of them chatted about this and that, making the time pass easily. Soon, they arrived outside Nuoding City, and after a simple inspection, the three of them entered the city.

After arriving in Nuoding City, Old Jack led the two of them toward Nuoding Junior Spirit Master Academy. When the three reached the main gate, they were suddenly blocked by a young man. "What are you doing? Is this a place for country bumpkins like you to come?"

Old Jack hurriedly said, "Little brother, we are from Holy Soul Village. These two children are the work-study students from our village this year. Could you tell us if we need to go through any procedures?"

The young man looked at the three of them with disdain and said, "There haven't been any work-study students for so many years. You aren't fakes, are you?"

Old Jack angrily took out two pieces of paper and said indignantly, "This is the proof from Martial Soul Hall!"

The young man looked at the proof from Martial Soul Hall, then chuckled and said, "Heh, two cases of Innate Full Soul Power? One is Blue Silver Grass, and the other is Clear Sky Hammer? Who are you trying to fool? You actually dare to forge proof from Martial Soul Hall; you really don't know how to cherish your lives."

"You!" Old Jack was overcome with anger, pointing a finger at the young man.

The young man slapped Old Jack's hand away and said, "What are you pointing at? Your village has the nerve to be called Holy Soul Village? I think Beggar Village would be more like it! Everyone's clothes are covered in patches; it's like an old beggar bringing two little beggars along."

"You!" Old Jack angrily pointed at the young man again.

Just at this moment, Tang Yu lunged forward, jumped up, and kicked the young man right in the chin, sending him flying backward.

Tang Yu clapped his hands and said, "Why waste so much breath on a gatekeeper like him?"

The young man let out a cry of pain, then scrambled up, intending to rush over and hit Tang Yu, but at that moment, a voice rang out, "Alright, stop."

A man with short hair and a black fitted outfit walked toward the gate. The young man immediately spoke up, "Master, why are you here?"

The Master, who was Yu Xiaogang, ignored the young man and walked up to Old Jack, looking at him and saying, "Old sir, could you let me see the proof from Martial Soul Hall?"

"Here you go." Old Jack immediately handed over the proof from Martial Soul Hall.

Yu Xiaogang looked at the proof, his brows furrowed, then he relaxed them and looked at Old Jack, saying, "Old sir, the proof is genuine. I am very sorry for what just happened. I apologize to you on behalf of the academy. Please leave these two children to me."

Old Jack was flattered and said, "No need to apologize, no need to apologize. It was indeed wrong of us to hit someone. I will leave these two children in your care; please look after them in the future."
