Inside a cave in Holy Soul Village.
Ah Yin looked at the question without paying the slightest attention to Old Jack. She didn't care what the answer was, either.
All she could see was the part saying that Tang San had gone hungry and cold throughout his childhood, and that Tang Hao hadn't cared whether he lived or died.
At that, Ah Yin was utterly baffled.
"What?"
"After Xiao San was born, Brother Hao didn't care whether he lived or died?"
"How... how could this be? He's the child Brother Hao and I had together! Why would this happen?"
"Brother Hao, where are you? How could you do this? When I sacrificed myself for you, all I wanted was for you to live and take care of our child."
"But for the past six years, you've left me planted in this dark, sunless place, and you haven't even looked after our child."
"Do you... do you still care about me? About our child..."
"Or was getting my Spirit Ring enough for you?"
"Brother Hao..."
Ah Yin couldn't imagine that her son had suffered so much after her death, and that he'd needed someone like Old Jack to take care of him.
Tang Hao hadn't paid him any attention. Could he even call himself a father?
And since Tang Hao hadn't visited her once in the past six years, Ah Yin began to doubt the feelings he'd claimed to have for her...
She no longer had any interest in choosing an answer. She picked one at random, then sank into deep sorrow.
Holy Soul Village.
Old Jack stared at the question, his eyes shining.
"Oh?"
"When Xiao San makes it big, what will he give me in return?"
"Hahaha! Of course he's a good boy. I didn't care for Xiao San all those years for nothing."
"He'll definitely choose C. Xiao San's so kind, he won't be short of anything. I don't need a thing, but he'll still think of me!"
Beneath Life Lake.
Di Tian looked at the new question, stroking his chin as he pondered. In a mild tone, he asked, "What do you think we should choose?"
King of Ten Thousand Demons, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and the others didn't answer at once. They continued to rack their brains.
Di Tian urged them, "How can you still not have an answer?"
"King of Ten Thousand Demons, you're usually the most devious. You tell us!"
"What do you think Tang San will give Old Jack in return?"
"Resources? Status? Or both?"
Hearing that, King of Ten Thousand Demons gave a soft laugh and replied, "Beast God, since you asked me, I'll be blunt. I don't think Tang San will give him anything at all!"
"Oh? Why?" Di Tian asked.
King of Ten Thousand Demons explained, "Beast God says I'm devious, and he's right—I am a little smarter than most."
"But in truth, it's humans who are truly devious."
"Humans are sly and sinister, countless times more frightening than Spirit Beasts. They're selfish and self-serving. We Spirit Beasts help one another, unlike them!"
"Besides, it was already said that Tang San stole all his cultivation techniques. Would someone like that repay his benefactor?"
"I think Tang San's a lowlife. He won't give anything back!"
The other Ferocious Beasts found his argument convincing.
Only Bi Ji, kindhearted as she was, murmured, "But Old Jack was Tang San's benefactor. Would he really not repay him at all?"
King of Ten Thousand Demons replied, "Then you can choose something else, Bi Ji. I'm choosing D. I don't trust humans."
Di Tian nodded. "King of Ten Thousand Demons has a point. Humans are sly, sinister, and selfish."
"Choose D!"
The other Ferocious Beasts had no choice but to follow suit and choose D. Even the Silver Dragon King, hidden in the darkness, thought it over and chose D...
As time passed, everyone else made their choices, and most selected C.
After all, repaying a kindness was only natural. Even the worst person wouldn't give nothing back at all. No one would choose D!
Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena kept her eyes on Song Ye. She couldn't help asking him again, "Song Ye, what are you choosing this time?"
She had a feeling that Song Ye was a little sharper than the rest. He'd already answered correctly twice in a row.
But why should Song Ye tell her?
He replied dismissively, "What else would I choose?"
"Pretty much the same as you all."
"Really?" Hu Liena asked skeptically.
Song Ye nodded. "Don't worry. Go ahead and choose. I guarantee it'll be pretty much the same as yours."
"Fine. If you dare to lie to me, I'll kick you off the Spirit Hall team!" Hu Liena tossed out the empty threat, then selected option C.
Xie Yue and the others chose C as well.
Only Song Ye secretly selected D. Of course, it meant giving nothing in return!
Soon, all the contestants had made their choices, and the answer was revealed!
On the Light Screen.
As everyone waited expectantly, the content appeared!
[Correct answer: D!] [After making it big, Tang San gave Old Jack nothing in return and never even cared whether Old Jack lived or died!] [Winners: Silver Dragon King, Di Tian, Xiong Jun, King of Ten Thousand Demons, Bi Ji, Scarlet King, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Song Ye!] [Reward: Soul Power Level increased by 1!]
The answer and list of winners left everyone's brains fried.
Wait, Tang San had given Old Jack nothing in return?
This was a great benefactor who had practically saved his life when he was a child, and Tang San had repaid him with nothing—not even caring whether he lived or died?
Damn!
In an instant, countless people who knew Tang San were filled with fury.
"Damn it, Tang San! I trusted your character so much, and now you're telling me you don't repay kindness?!"
"I finally let myself get invested, and I lost so completely!"
The moment the answer appeared, everyone on the arena turned their eyes on Tang San.
They even started whispering and cursing behind his back.
"Damn! What's this? I thought Tang San was such a good person, but he wouldn't even look after his own benefactor?"
"If I'd known, I would've picked D! I'm Tang San's rival, for crying out loud. I shouldn't have trusted his character!"
"I never saw it before, but Tang San's disgusting! Old Jack treated him so well, and got nothing out of it?"
"Damn it! I used to have a good impression of Tang San. Now I see I was blind!"
One complaint after another rang across the arena. The contestants from every academy looked at Tang San with nothing but disdain.
Tang San began to feel a little afraid. It wasn't as if he'd known this would happen!
Even Yu Xiaogang stared at Tang San with deep suspicion. Frustrated, he said, "Xiao San, I never expected this to be the answer."
"I don't know Old Jack, but the Light Screen said he treated you extremely well from childhood. You might not even have survived without him!"
"He was such an important benefactor, and you never repaid him at all!"
"He saved your life. He was the only senior you could rely on in your early years, and this is how you treated him!"
"Now I'm starting to wonder whether I'll end up with nothing, too, even though I'm your teacher!"
"Xiao San, are you really going to disappoint your teacher—and everyone else?!"
