Admit Mistakes, Stand at Attention for Punishment

Damn!

Nice!

Having fleeced Tang San once again, Su Yun felt wonderful inside.

As for Tang San, thinking about his interactions with Su Yun and then reflecting on Tang Hao, he suddenly felt that the man was unworthy of being his father, even giving rise to a new thought.

Is Tang Hao truly his father? After all, what kind of father would treat his son that way? If it weren't for his adult mindset, a normal child would have been neglected to death by now.

At this moment, everyone present had their own thoughts, all casting wary glances at Su Yun, their faces clearly showing they were angry but dared not speak out. After all, they had nearly died just a moment ago.

At this juncture, Jiang Min, acting as the temporary team leader, had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."

He gave a light cough, and once he had everyone's attention, he finally spoke up.

"There was just a slight misunderstanding."

The crowd: ...

Wen Wu nearly cursed out loud. My life was almost forfeit, and you call that a misunderstanding?

Seeing the look of defiance on everyone's faces, Jiang Min grew angry too. You won't take the out I'm giving you? He sneered immediately and said.

"What is it? You're still not convinced?

Who told you to mock little brother Feiyu for no reason?

Don't be unconvinced. Even though little brother Feiyu's Martial Soul is Blue Silver Grass, his combat skills are not weak in the slightest.

The fact that he didn't take your lives is already him showing you mercy."

As Jiang Min's voice fell, Chen Yiyi, the only one in the group who hadn't joined in the mockery, stepped forward. He puffed out his chest, looking righteous and stern.

"That's right! If you're wrong, admit it; if you're beaten, stand straight!

Hurry up and apologize."

Su Yun and Tang San both knew that Jiang Min was stepping in to smooth things over, so they didn't tear down his stage and just watched from the sidelines.

Hearing this, Su Yun and Tang San remained silent, simply watching the three who had mocked them.

The scene fell into silence once more, but Chen Yiyi grew increasingly anxious.

"What are you standing there for?

Still not apologizing? Do you not want to go to the Soul Beast Forest to hunt for souls?"

Once these words were spoken, the three of them reacted instantly.

That's right, they were going to hunt for souls, a task that was already like hanging their heads on their belts. If an apology could secure the addition of two experts, what did an apology matter?

Given the strength Su Yun had displayed, they might even be able to aim for a century-old Soul Ring.

As for face? How much is that worth? Is it worth more than a Soul Ring?

Thinking of this, everyone except Wen Wu walked straight up to Su Yun. Just as they were about to apologize, Su Yun coldly cut them off.

"The person you should be apologizing to is not me."

[Friendship value from Tang San +47.]

Undoubtedly, Su Yun's actions successfully warmed Tang San's heart once again.

Though the two were a bit awkward, they quickly returned to normal.

"Little brother Feiyu, we are truly sorry for just now."

"That's right, little brother Feiyu, we were blind and looked down on you."

"It's fine."

Tang San waved his hand, looking completely unbothered. Seeing that Tang San had no intention of making things difficult, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

With the two of them having apologized, Wen Wu, the only one left, became the most out-of-place person there.

Seeing the gazes cast upon him, Wen Wu clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his forehead throbbing. Because of his pride, apologizing to a six-year-old child felt deeply humiliating.

He wanted to roar out loud.

"Apologize?

This master won't do it! This master isn't serving you anymore!"

Then he would turn around and leave with a flourish, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

How could he not realize what the others had realized? Once he left, finding another team like this would be difficult, and he also wanted to cling to Su Yun's thigh.

And so, Wen Wu was caught in an intense internal struggle, his face turning from green to red, red to purple, purple to black...

After a long while, Wen Wu took heavy steps toward Tang San.

"Sorry."

The voice was stiff and sounded extremely reluctant.

However, Tang San didn't mind, waving his hand in a harmless manner.

"It's fine."

There was no mockery or harassment, yet Wen Wu felt as if his heart were being gnawed upon by thousands of insects; his resentment was impossible to suppress.

He thought he had hidden it well, but everyone present saw it clearly. Jiang Min was already considering whether to kick him out of the group, yet Tang San and Su Yun acted as if they hadn't noticed a thing.

Su Yun took the initiative to break the tension.

"In that case, let's head into the Soul Beast Forest. The sooner we finish the hunt, the sooner we can get out."

Hearing this, the group looked at one another, ultimately sighing to themselves.

They were still too young, unaware of the perils of the soul master world.

However, since neither of the two involved had spoken up, Jiang Min did not voice his thoughts; after all, in the Soul Beast Forest, one extra person meant one less point of danger.

"Alright! Let's set off then."

As Jiang Min finished speaking, the others hoisted the large bags and bundles of survival supplies they had set aside.

But when they saw that Su Yun and Tang San had empty hands, they were stunned, assuming the two lacked experience in traveling. Jiang Min couldn't help but ask immediately.

"Did you not buy supplies? Entering the Soul Beast Forest requires at least five days' worth of water and dry rations..."

Just as Jiang Min was about to patiently explain his extensive hunting experience to them, Su Yun reached out a hand.

A black sphere appeared in his palm.

Then, with a flip of his hand, the black sphere vanished.

Seeing this, the pupils of everyone present constricted sharply.

A Soul Tool!

This child actually possessed a Soul Tool.

In an instant, several greedy gazes turned toward them, immediately putting Tang San on high alert, his Silent Sleeve Arrow ready to fire at any moment.

By comparison, Su Yun was much calmer.

It would be exposed sooner or later anyway; taking advantage of the lingering effect of his earlier display of force was the perfect time to reveal it.

Sure enough, after Su Yun's cold gaze swept over them, everyone felt their hearts skip a beat and subconsciously touched their own necks.

It would have been fine if they hadn't touched them, but upon doing so, they immediately felt something was wrong. Even though they had used soul power to suppress their wounds, why hadn't the cuts on their necks healed? It was as if something was preventing it. Fortunately, the wounds were small, or else the three of them might have already bled to death.

This discovery caused their greed to vanish instantly, even for Wen Wu.

Once their brains cooled down, they immediately began to consider a series of inconsistencies.

Could these two little fellows be direct descendants of some great family?

Such talent, strength, and even a Soul Tool...

Everything they had displayed was simply not something an ordinary commoner could possess.

But why would they come to hunt for a soul ring by themselves?

Logically speaking, shouldn't disciples of such great families have internal arrangements for people to help them hunt?

Although the members of the Self-Strengthening Group were puzzled, none of them dared to ask aloud.

It was Jiang Min who spoke again to break the silence.

"It was my place to be concerned. Since the two of you have brought supplies, let us prepare to depart."

With a wave of his hand, he led the group toward the Soul Beast Forest.
