Vomiting Blood Again

After leaving Dorm Seven, Tang Hao took Tang San to the back mountain of Nuoding Academy. Now that Tang San's background had been exposed, he could only tell Tang San the truth ahead of time.

"Little San, Dad knows you have many questions. Now, Dad will tell you everything. Dad is from the Clear Sky Sect..."

After Tang Hao told Tang San everything, he fell silent and let Tang San process the information himself.

After a long while, Tang San had processed all the information. He said to Tang Hao, "Father, I will definitely cultivate diligently and destroy Spirit Hall in the future to avenge Mother."

Tang Hao nodded, very satisfied with Tang San's attitude.

"Little San, now that you know Spirit Hall is our enemy, we can no longer stay here."

"As for your teacher, Yu Xiaogang, we cannot take him with us. If we do, Bibi Dong may frantically search for us, which would be detrimental to your peaceful cultivation."

Tang San was his hope for revenge against Spirit Hall. He could not take even the slightest risk and had to leave with him.

As for Yu Xiaogang, he could stay here and draw Bibi Dong's attention.

After Tang Hao and Tang San left, Chen Yu did not linger in Dorm Seven either.

Tang Hao would never let Tang San remain at Nuoding Academy. He just did not know what Xiao Wu's fate would be.

Once word of today's events spread, Titled Douluo would inevitably descend upon Nuoding Academy. If Xiao Wu was still at the academy, she would certainly be captured and confined. Tang Hao definitely would not let a duck already in his mouth fly away, so he would most likely take Xiao Wu with him.

Chen Yu found the dean of studies in the teaching building and asked for leave to visit his hometown, saying he would return in a few days.

The dean of studies naturally nodded in agreement, then respectfully saw Chen Yu off, leaving Chen Yu a little embarrassed.

After leaving the dean of studies' office, Chen Yu bought some gifts from the shop before leaving the city.

Outside Nuoding City, Chen Yu directly unfurled his External Soul Bone and flew toward Clearwater Village.

A few minutes later, Clearwater Village came into view. Chen Yu put away his External Soul Bone and landed outside the village to avoid frightening the villagers.

Before he even entered the village, he saw Old John returning from outside. He had probably just come back from another village.

"Village Chief Grandpa."

Old John turned around at the sound and looked behind him, asking uncertainly, "Are you Little Yu?"

"Yes, Village Chief Grandpa, I'm back." Chen Yu replied with a smile, quickly stepping forward to support Old John's arm.

"Good, good, good. It's good that you're back."

"Come, let's go home."

Old John grasped Chen Yu's hand, tears glimmering in his eyes.

Along the way, Chen Yu told Old John all about how diligently he had cultivated at Nuoding Academy. Old John listened quietly, the smile on his face never fading.

Old John's laughter drew quite a few villagers over, and they soon understood why he was so happy.

"This little fellow finally came back. Old John was worried sick."

"Exactly. If he hadn't been afraid of offending some important figure at Nuoding Academy, Old John might have gone to the academy to look for him."

"It's good that he's back. Old John can finally relax and stop worrying himself sick."

"What I'm more curious about is whether Little Yu has become a Soul Master yet."

The moment those words were spoken, the scene fell silent enough to hear a pin drop.

No one had considered that possibility before. They had all thought something might have happened to Chen Yu.

Now that someone had brought it up, they naturally all wanted to know whether Chen Yu had become a Soul Master.

Chen Yu naturally heard their conversation, but he did not tell the villagers that he had already become a Soul Master. He would leave that glorious task to Village Chief Grandpa.

After all, he was the Soul Master Village Chief Grandpa had awaited for who knew how long. Now was the time for him to show off, and Chen Yu could not spoil his fun.

Nuoding Academy.

Yu Xiaogang slowly woke up, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang awaken, the Nuoding Academy Dean immediately stepped forward. "Grandmaster, how do you feel?"

Yu Xiaogang turned to look at the dean, then glanced around, but did not see Tang San.

"Where's Little San? Where did Little San go?"

Yu Xiaogang immediately propped himself up with his arms and anxiously questioned the dean.

The dean did not hide anything and gave Yu Xiaogang a detailed account of everything that had happened after he vomited blood and fainted. After finishing, he paused, looked at Yu Xiaogang, and opened his mouth as though he wanted to say more, but ultimately said nothing.

The moment Yu Xiaogang heard that Tang San's background had been exposed, he had already lost his wits. He did not hear anything that came after, so how could he have noticed the dean's expression?

Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were mortal enemies, yet he had taken Tang Hao's son as his disciple. Would Spirit Hall come after him to settle the score?

No, he had to find Tang San as soon as possible and take him away from Nuoding Academy. It was no longer safe here.

Acting as soon as the thought came to him, Yu Xiaogang got out of bed and headed for the door.

The moment he opened it, he saw Tang Hao and Tang San standing outside the room. Before either of them could speak, Yu Xiaogang anxiously said, "Your Majesty Haotian, Little San, we must leave quickly. It is no longer safe here."

Tang Hao and Tang San felt somewhat awkward upon hearing this. Of course they knew it was dangerous to remain at Nuoding Academy, but they did not want to take Yu Xiaogang with them. They had not expected Yu Xiaogang to be worrying about their safety instead.

At that moment, Tang San was deeply moved. His teacher treated him far too well.

He turned to look at his father, his eyes asking: Can we take Teacher with us?

Tang Hao was moved as well, though not by much.

"Grandmaster, I am taking Little San away. You are his teacher, so I came specifically to inform you."

After Tang Hao finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang still looked at him eagerly.

Tang Hao calmly met Yu Xiaogang's gaze. After a long while, Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to accept the cruel truth—Tang Hao did not intend to take him along.

Yu Xiaogang forced a stiff smile. "All right, I understand."

Tang San looked at his teacher and opened his mouth, but the words he had long prepared caught in his throat. In the end, he said nothing.

Tang Hao did not care about his thoughts. He turned and left with Tang San.

Tang San silently followed behind Tang Hao without turning back to look at his teacher.

After Tang Hao and Tang San left, Yu Xiaogang could no longer hold on. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed backward.

The Nuoding Academy Dean rushed over and caught Yu Xiaogang, using Soul Power to carry him as he rushed toward the academy infirmary.

Too miserable!

Truly too miserable!

First, he had been humiliated and retaliated against by Chen Yu. Then, he had been abandoned by his own disciple. No one knew whether he could pull through this time; most likely, he would never recover from this blow.

Shaking his head, the dean stopped thinking about it and rushed toward the infirmary at full speed. Yu Xiaogang could not die at Nuoding Academy, or the entire Nuoding Academy might be wiped out.

Outside Nuoding City.

Tang San turned back for one last look at Nuoding City, as though he wanted to carve the entire city into his memory.

"Let's go. You can come back after you become strong."

Tang Hao spoke as he walked beside him. A girl dressed in pink was slung over his shoulder, her long scorpion braid making her easy to identify—Xiao Wu, the transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

"Yes, Dad."

"Dad, why did you capture Xiao Wu?"

He had feelings for Xiao Wu and did not understand why his father had captured her.

"I'll tell you later."

Tang Hao did not explain. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring that could only be absorbed in ten or twenty years was not something Tang San should know about too early.
