Xu Sanshi is Better Than the White Tiger Duke

"Little brother, I'd like to ask, how much for one grilled fish?" Jiang Nannan walked up to Huo Yuhao at this moment, speaking with a gentle attitude that could be described as very polite.

(This senior sister is so polite! She's just like Teacher Tang Ya.)

Upon hearing Jiang Nannan's words, Huo Yuhao also felt that she was very polite, much like Tang Ya, who had been so kind to him.

"Five copper coins per grilled fish."

"That's a bit expensive. Could it be three copper coins each?" Jiang Nannan asked, but the problem was that Huo Yuhao refused directly.

"I'm very sorry, today's batch is already sold out. The remaining two are reserved for someone else. Why don't you come back tomorrow? I'll prepare more grilled fish then."

Huo Yuhao wanted to make money too, but the issue was that these two fish were for Tang Ya and Beibei.

"Then I'll come back next time." Jiang Nannan left very politely after hearing this, but the problem was that these junior students were different; they were all fans of Jiang Nannan.

"To treat Senior Sister Jiang Nannan like that, how could he be like this? It's just a grilled fish, is it really necessary to act this way?"

"Let's teach him a lesson."

"I think you're a bit mistaken. We don't even need to step in; someone is already going to teach this newcomer a lesson. Trouble is coming for him; a big guy is looking to cause him grief."

(Senior Sister Jiang Nannan, could she be from a family with a powerful background? And a big guy is coming to cause me trouble?)

Just as Huo Yuhao thought this, a figure suddenly rushed over, looking extremely strong and formidable.

"You brat! You're going to pay the price!"

A man who looked like a hot-blooded youth charged over and prepared to strike Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao dodged, but unexpectedly, the moment he moved, the man grabbed his clothes.

This guy's speed is... Huo Yuhao didn't know who the man was, but his Soul Power Level was definitely higher than his own, which explained why he was faster. Just then, Beibei suddenly appeared and blocked the man's attack.

"Have you caused enough trouble? Sanshi, there's no need to treat my junior brother like this!"

Beibei rescued Yuhao from the hands of Sanshi at this moment.

"Sanshi, there is no possibility between us. You should just give up."

Jiang Nannan said to Xu Sanshi at this moment.

"Little Yuhao, don't worry, we're here to help you." Tang Ya walked over and pulled Huo Yuhao to her side.

"Sanshi, let's have a match in the Soul Fighting Zone instead. Don't bully my junior brother here."

"Fine."

Soon, everyone arrived at the Soul Fighting Zone. Tang Ya introduced the relationship between Xu Sanshi and Beibei, explaining simply that they were friends who knew each other well—one was the strongest attacker of the outer courtyard, and the other was the strongest defender.

Their relationship was actually quite good. Although they often acted like they didn't get along, they were actually very close; they were the type who would truly help each other if something happened.

Only then did Huo Yuhao understand why Xu Sanshi had let him go for the sake of Brother Beibei.

"Xu Sanshi's temper... simply put, he gets particularly agitated when it comes to Jiang Nannan and loses his head, but he's actually very good to his friends. It's just that he's a bit... hahaha."

After hearing Tang Ya say this, Huo Yuhao understood that, simply put, he was a bit of a "love-brain"—he just pursued the girl he liked without thinking. That was understandable.

(If that guy, the White Tiger Duke, had been like this toward Mother, would she have ended up like that? In the end, she didn't even have a proper grave.)

Huo Yuhao recalled the days he suffered in the White Tiger Duke Mansion and that irresponsible White Tiger Duke, who had enjoyed his mother's body and left behind nothing but a White Tiger Dagger as a token of love.

Then, his mother, Huo Yun'er, had brought him to the White Tiger Duke Mansion, only to suffer such treatment. The martial soul he awakened was only a first-rank Innate Soul Power eye—the Spirit Eye.

They were then driven to live in a woodshed, and if they wanted a hot meal, his mother could only heat it with her own body for him to eat.

It could be said that if the White Tiger Duke had been a "love-brain" like Xu Sanshi, he would at least have been good to his wife and not engaged in deception; then, Huo Yun'er would not have ended up like that.

"A love-brain is at least better than a scumbag, at least better than the scumbag who deceived my mother."

"Hm? Little Yuhao, your mother was deceived by a scumbag? Is your father a scumbag? Can you tell me your story?"

Tang Ya could see that her little disciple had something on his mind.

"It's actually about my family. I'm the illegitimate son of a noble, and my mother..."

Huo Yuhao told her the modified version of his and his mother Huo Yun'er's story that he had told Wang Dong. Upon hearing it, Tang Ya understood why Huo Yuhao spoke that way.

"So that's how it is. Although Xu Sanshi is a love-brain, he is indeed very good to the woman he likes. Look at how he pursues Jiang Nannan—he doesn't mess around with other women; he is single-mindedly devoted to her. You can see that even if he is a love-brain, he treats the person he likes very well. But your father is too much! He enjoyed your mother's body, and then... and he clearly already had a wife, yet he had an affair and didn't even tell your mother. That is truly excessive. Nobles are just like that. If it weren't for our ancestor Tang San defeating the Martial Soul Hall back then, I'm afraid the Martial Soul Hall would have unified the Douluo Continent, and they probably wouldn't even be nobles anymore. If it weren't for the fact that the Martial Soul Hall's unification of the continent would have endangered peace and led to things like the Soul Hunting Operation, ancestor Tang San wouldn't have had to fight a great war against them. And if the Sun Moon Empire hadn't collided with the Douluo Continent, if the Tang Sect had continued to develop, perhaps we really could have solved the problem of the nobility."

In Tang Ya's heart, the Tang Sect was her everything and her pride. She believed the Tang Sect could solve all problems, which was why she spoke this way.

But the problem was that Tang Ya didn't notice the flaw in her own words: Tang San had fought the Martial Soul Hall on behalf of the nobles, so didn't that mean Tang San was also just someone serving the nobility? If so, were the wars between the Martial Soul Hall and the empires actually wrong?
