Lin Qingmo felt uncomfortable under her gaze.
He simply turned away and pretended to straighten his bedding.
But inwardly, he was furiously complaining.
This plot has gone completely off the rails!
The Rogue Rabbit turned into a Cowardly Rabbit? What the hell is going on?
Not long after.
The dormitory door was pushed open again.
Tang San walked in.
He was still wearing those plain cloth clothes and carrying a small bundle.
His gaze was calm.
Yet there was a faint sharpness about him.
At the sight of Tang San.
Wang Sheng immediately perked up.
Two new students had admitted defeat in a row just now, and he had found it boring.
Now there was another one.
He could use him to establish his authority.
"Newcomer, do you know the rules?"
"If you want to stay here, beat me!"
As he spoke, he threw a punch.
Tang San had intended to refuse.
But now he could no longer refuse.
Wang Sheng's fist came swinging toward him.
Tang San shifted slightly to the side.
His right hand gave a gentle pull.
A soft force redirected Wang Sheng's attack.
At the same time, his left hand pushed forward with the motion.
Wang Sheng's body immediately toppled backward out of his control and slammed heavily onto the ground.
This move from the Tang Sect Secret Arts, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, was clean and decisive.
It instantly intimidated every Work-Study Student in the dormitory.
"Y-You... you won!"
Wang Sheng struggled to his feet.
His eyes were filled with reverence as he looked at Tang San.
Strength was respected above all else here.
"From today onward, you're the boss of the Work-Study Student Dormitory!"
Tang San nodded slightly.
He did not say anything else.
His gaze swept across the people in the dormitory.
It paused on Lin Qingmo for a moment.
Lin Qingmo was cleaner and more refined-looking than the others.
Seeing that he was merely an ordinary-looking child, Tang San did not pay him any mind.
Instead, he turned his gaze toward Xiao Wu.
There was curiosity and friendliness in his eyes.
She was a very cute girl.
Fear was eating away at Xiao Wu's heart as she felt Tang San's gaze.
She instinctively edged closer to Lin Qingmo.
A trace of fear showed in her eyes, and she did not dare meet Tang San's gaze at all.
Tang San's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Is she afraid of me?
He could not help feeling puzzled.
He did not seem to have met her before.
But he did not dwell on it.
He found an empty bed and began arranging his things.
"???"
Lin Qingmo stared from the side, dumbfounded.
Tang San was still Tang San. His strength was still formidable, and he was still absurdly overpowered.
But Xiao Wu's reaction was far too strange!
Not only was she afraid of Tang San.
She had even taken the initiative to move closer to him!
This plot had completely gone off course!
He could not help wailing inwardly, Group Members, come take a look! The Douluo plot has collapsed so badly even its own mother wouldn't recognize it!
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong stood alone before the window.
She gazed into the distant sky, her expression complicated.
Ever since she had seen Lin Qingmo's remarks about Yu Xiaogang in the group.
She had been unable to calm her thoughts.
She forced herself to recall everything from the past.
Trying to find reasons to refute Lin Qingmo.
But the more she remembered...
The more she felt that Lin Qingmo's words had evidence to support them.
"Have I been nothing but a joke all these years?"
Bibi Dong murmured softly.
Her voice carried self-mockery and confusion.
She realized that her understanding of Yu Xiaogang could no longer align with her memories of the past.
A profound sense of helplessness surged into her heart.
Inside the headmaster's office of Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong was also pacing back and forth in agitation.
A cup of tea that had long gone cold sat on the table before her.
Lin Qingmo's words were like a thorn deeply embedded in her heart.
"Xiao Gang... is he really that kind of person?"
Liu Erlong covered her face.
Her voice trembled slightly.
For a time.
Liu Erlong sank into deep confusion and pain.
By evening.
The fading light of the setting sun streamed through the windows into the Work-Study Student Dormitory.
The dormitory door opened.
Tang San walked in.
Unlike before, he was carrying a brand-new set of bedding in his arms.
The quilt cover and sheets were clean blue, looking soft and comfortable.
They stood in stark contrast to the worn, tattered bedding of everyone else in the dormitory.
Lin Qingmo immediately understood the significance behind this bedding.
Looks like Tang San has successfully taken Yu Xiaogang as his master.
This bedding must have been a gift from the Grandmaster.
What a pity. I didn't get to witness the iconic scene of Tang San becoming his disciple. That's a little regrettable.
Tang San walked over to his bed.
He was about to spread out the bedding.
When his gaze happened to sweep over Xiao Wu's bed.
He found that Xiao Wu's bed was completely bare, without any bedding at all.
There was only a small bundle.
Tang San remembered that the Grandmaster had said Xiao Wu was the only one in the Academy besides him with Innate Full Soul Power.
But she seemed to be an orphan.
After thinking for a moment.
Tang San carried the bedding over to Xiao Wu.
His expression was gentle.
"Hello, I'm Tang San."
"You don't have any bedding? You can have this set."
"!!!"
Upon hearing Tang San's voice.
Xiao Wu's body suddenly shrank back.
Like a startled rabbit, she shook her head repeatedly.
"N-No need, thank you."
She instinctively shifted closer to Lin Qingmo.
Her little hand gently tugged at Lin Qingmo's sleeve.
"Classmate, could you... could you come with me to buy some bedding?"
There was a trace of pleading in her voice.
"Huh?"
Lin Qingmo was completely stunned.
He blinked.
First at Xiao Wu's pleading face.
Then at Tang San, who was holding the bedding with a somewhat stunned expression.
His mind went blank!
This development had already surpassed anything he could comprehend.
In the original story, this was clearly where Tang San and Xiao Wu first crossed paths.
Tang San gave Xiao Wu bedding, and Xiao Wu happily accepted, and the two shared a bed.
Their relationship had grown closer because of it.
But now, Xiao Wu had not only rejected Tang San's kindness.
She had even taken the initiative to ask him to accompany her to buy bedding!
Why had this Rogue Rabbit suddenly latched onto him?
Lin Qingmo hesitated for a moment.
Meeting Xiao Wu's large eyes, filled with fear and pleading.
He ultimately nodded.
"O-Okay."
He was very curious why Xiao Wu was so afraid of Tang San.
Seeing Xiao Wu reject him without hesitation and turn to Lin Qingmo instead.
Tang San's gaze became somewhat unreadable.
He stood where he was.
Still holding that brand-new set of bedding.
His expression was complicated as he watched the backs of Lin Qingmo and Xiao Wu leave the dormitory together.
The sun was setting.
There were already few pedestrians on the streets.
Lin Qingmo and Xiao Wu walked side by side.
Xiao Wu seemed to have relaxed a little.
She was no longer as trembling and nervous as she had been in the dormitory.
She lowered her head and kicked at the little stones beneath her feet.
At the same time, she said softly, "Thank you."
"It's nothing."
Lin Qingmo waved his hand.
But he still couldn't help asking,
"Why didn't you want Tang San's bedding? It seemed to be new."
Xiao Wu paused.
Her eyes flickered uncertainly.
She said vaguely, "I... I just didn't want it. I could obviously buy my own."
She couldn't exactly say she was afraid Tang San had a Title Douluo father, so she didn't dare get too close to him, could she?
Lin Qingmo twitched the corner of his mouth.
"...But you spent my money!"
"Wah, I-I'll pay you back."
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Lin Qingmo didn't press her further.
"Um... my name is Xiao Wu. Wu as in dancing."
"Lin Qingmo."
Lin Qingmo replied with a smile.
"Qing as in clear, mo as in silent."
She really was Xiao Wu.
Lin Qingmo muttered to himself.
It was just that her personality was far too different from the original work.
He didn't know that she had merely been frightened by what he said.
Late at night.
The Work-Study Student Dormitory was silent.
Most people had already fallen asleep.
Only faint breathing rose and fell.
Xiao Wu lay in bed with her eyes open.
Facing the ceiling, she couldn't sleep at all.
What had happened during the day, along with the things Lin Qingmo had said in the Chat Group, kept circling through her mind.
She tossed and turned for a while.
In the end, she couldn't resist opening the Chat Group.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: @Daddy Douluo, the matter about the Title Douluo you mentioned before...
