Actually.
Su Yun had always thought Tang San's logic was ridiculous.
Leaving the evidence aside,
just based on motive alone,
anyone could conclude that the culprit had to be one of the three people present.
As for the evidence,
there would be a Sleeve Arrow lodged in the gatekeeper's throat.
That was the murder weapon.
Then, after searching you, how could they fail to find the Sleeve Arrows on your wrists?
You didn't have the Twenty-Four Moonlit Bridges yet.
Even if you threw the Sleeve Arrows away, where could you throw them?
Did you really think the people from Spirit Hall and the Empire were useless?
Su Yun was almost certain that if Tang San really killed the gatekeeper,
the original story would practically end right there.
And Old Jack, the village chief, would be implicated too. He might not even be able to return to Holy Soul Village.
"Alright, stop."
A hoarse voice suddenly came from nearby.
Tang San noticed the newcomer and immediately lowered his left arm.
When the gatekeeper heard the newcomer's voice, the anger on his face instantly turned to ingratiating flattery. He bowed and scraped before him.
"Grandmaster, you're back."
Su Yun looked in the direction the gatekeeper was bowing toward, and an ordinary-looking face appeared before him.
"So this is Yu Xiaogang?"
"He looks even worse than I imagined."
"I wonder how Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong fell in love with this guy."
"Could it be that he's good at sweet-talking people?"
Su Yun grumbled inwardly.
Sigh, no wonder people said that scumbags could easily deceive women into falling for them.
Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong were both said to have fallen for Grandmaster because of his talent.
But did he really have any talent?
Su Yun could only roll his eyes at the thought.
If he really had talent, he wouldn't be mooching off people in some little place like this.
And that so-called Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul—he couldn't even prove it himself.
What more was there to say?
Besides, Su Yun had also noticed
that when Yu Xiaogang saw his and Tang San's Spirit Hall certificates, his eyes clearly lit up.
That look was just like the way he himself had looked for lab mice before experiments at medical school.
At that moment,
eight words appeared in Su Yun's mind:
Cherish life. Stay away from Grandmaster.
Sure enough,
after chasing the gatekeeper away and bidding farewell to Old Jack, Yu Xiaogang extended both hands, inviting Tang San and Su Yun to walk into the academy with him.
Tang San didn't refuse.
But Su Yun did.
The gesture made Yu Xiaogang's expression turn slightly displeased.
However,
it lasted only an instant.
Yu Xiaogang quickly hid his displeasure.
Even so,
Su Yun noticed every bit of it.
Hmph, you want to use me as an experimental subject?
Did you think I was as easy to fool as Tang San?
Just as in the original story,
after Tang San asked him some questions,
Grandmaster revealed that Tang San had Twin Martial Souls.
He even used his own data to demonstrate that his theory was correct!
When he finished,
a hint of confidence appeared in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
He was even—one could say—rather smug.
Because just then, he had seen a trace of surprise and admiration in Tang San's eyes.
That was enough to prove his theory was right!
In that instant,
Yu Xiaogang felt as if everything had suddenly opened up inside him.
What was that phrase again...
Right!
A sudden flash of inspiration!
Indeed!
Those Soul Masters who mocked him were all a bunch of fools who didn't understand the true value of theory.
Yu Xiaogang was absolutely delighted with himself.
So,
while Tang San was still reeling in shock,
Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze to Su Yun, who was walking on his right and had remained silent the whole time.
"Su Yun, if I'm not mistaken, you should have Twin Martial Souls too, just like Tang San, right?"
"What?!"
"Su Yun awakened Twin Martial Souls too?!"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San immediately turned to look at Su Yun.
At that moment,
Tang San finally remembered: wasn't Su Yun's situation exactly the same as his?
They both had Innate Full Soul Power and Blue Silver Grass.
According to his teacher's theory, Su Yun must have another Martial Soul as well!
By now, Tang San already regarded Yu Xiaogang as his teacher.
So,
Tang San took a step back, putting some distance between himself and Grandmaster.
Then he fell to his knees and respectfully kowtowed three times.
"Teacher!"
