Xiao Wu's Private Matters! Yu Xiaogang Suddenly Shows Up!

"Tang Yin, let me tell you, you have one fatal flaw."

"And you must correct it immediately."

Xiao Wu stood with her hands behind her back, adopting the posture of an elder and speaking in a tone used to educate a junior.

"Oh? What flaw?"

Tang Yin's expression shifted, the corners of his mouth curling upward slightly as he watched Xiao Wu with keen interest.

"The flaw is that you're too approachable, too kind-hearted!" Xiao Wu pointed toward the academy gate. "Take just now, for example. If it were me—once or twice is fine, but after that, I wouldn't keep offering a warm face to a cold shoulder by greeting Yu Xiaogang over and over again!"

Tang Yin understood in his heart and smiled faintly. "When I first enrolled, the guard wouldn't let me in, and it was Yu Xiaogang who helped me out. But what you say makes sense. Next time I run into him, I'll just pretend I don't see him."

Hearing this, a smile finally returned to Xiao Wu's face.

The two had not been back at Notting Academy for long before the second-year holiday arrived.

"Um... Tang Yin, I won't be going home with you this holiday. I have some personal business."

Inside Dormitory Seven, Xiao Wu approached Tang Yin, fidgeting as she spoke.

Tang Yin was startled and asked instinctively, "What business? Do you need my help?"

"No, no, no! No need, I can handle it myself!" Xiao Wu waved her hands repeatedly, her head lowered in guilt as she dared not meet Tang Yin's eyes.

Tang Yin studied Xiao Wu for a long moment, then took out a money pouch and pressed it into her hand. "There are one hundred Gold Soul Coin in here. Take it for the road."

The corners of Xiao Wu's mouth lifted slightly, and she did not refuse. "I will be back very soon."

Tang Yin watched Xiao Wu leave Dormitory Seven without any intention of insisting on following her.

He knew well that Xiao Wu's identity was special.

According to what he knew, Xiao Wu had just broken through to level nineteen three months ago. Given her "current" cultivation speed, it was highly likely she had already reached level twenty.

In that case, Xiao Wu's so-called "personal business" was likely just finding a secluded, uninhabited place to condense a Soul Ring and break through her cultivation.

A moment later, Tang Yin left Dormitory Seven alone, bought some gifts in the city, and returned to Holy Soul Village to visit Old Jack.

Three days later, Tang Yin returned to Dormitory Seven and waited another seven or eight days before Xiao Wu finally returned.

"Tang Yin!" Seeing Tang Yin in Dormitory Seven, Xiao Wu greeted him with a smile.

"Did you finish your business?" Tang Yin asked with a smile.

"Mm, finished." As she spoke, Xiao Wu instinctively scratched her cheek; because of her guilt, a faint blush quietly bloomed on her face.

"By the way, I happened to run into a dying demon fox in the wild."

"I also happened to break through to level twenty, so I absorbed the demon fox's Soul Ring. I am now a level twenty-one Soul Grand Master."

Tang Yin listened to Xiao Wu recount her "adventure," trying his best not to laugh out loud.

"I didn't expect you to have such amazing experiences in just these few days, but congratulations nonetheless."

Xiao Wu smiled sheepishly.

Tang Yin continued, "Xiao Wu, since you've become a Soul Grand Master, I have a proposal."

Xiao Wu was taken aback, looking curious. "What proposal?"

Tang Yin pondered aloud, "We have long since met the graduation requirements, and now that we are both Soul Grand Masters, why not leave Notting Academy and attend a higher-level Soul Master Academy? In the future, when we need Soul Rings, we can have teachers help us."

"I've already inquired; in intermediate and advanced academies, the students' Soul Rings are obtained with the help of academy teachers."

"Leave Notting Academy?" Xiao Wu was stunned, unable to process the thought for a long time.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time, but I hadn't mentioned it to you, and you hadn't reached the Soul Grand Master level yet," Tang Yin said.

"Tang Yin, why don't we... wait another two years before leaving?" Xiao Wu paused, then smiled. "Besides, you're only level twenty-two right now; you still have a long way to go before reaching level thirty."

Tang Yin nodded thoughtfully. "What you say makes sense. Then let's wait until we're close to level thirty before leaving here."

Since Xiao Wu didn't intend to leave yet, he would wait a while longer. Besides, he hadn't decided where to go after leaving anyway.

Hearing this, Xiao Wu beamed like a flower.

The feeling of having her opinion agreed with made her feel very good.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside Dormitory Seven.

Tang Yin and Xiao Wu were packing their luggage.

Now, only the two of them remained in the entire Work-Study Student dormitory.

This was because in the four years since they had enrolled, all the other Work-Study Student had graduated one after another, and no new ones had enrolled in the academy.

And now.

Tang Yin and Xiao Wu were packing their bags in preparation to leave Notting Academy and leave Nuoding City.

Just then.

A figure appeared at the entrance of Dormitory Seven.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A series of knocks rang out, echoing in the ears of Tang Yin and Xiao Wu.

The two of them looked over in unison.

They saw Yu Xiaogang standing at the doorway, watching them.

Tang Yin and Xiao Wu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

"Are these the graduation applications you submitted?"

Yu Xiaogang raised the two graduation applications in his hand and asked indifferently.

Tang Yin and Xiao Wu were slightly stunned.

Xiao Wu looked at Tang Yin, and Tang Yin replied, "That's right. Xiao Wu and I are preparing to leave Notting Academy and head to Suotuo City in the Bala Kingdom. An intermediate Soul Master Academy there has sent us an invitation."

Yu Xiaogang frowned and said calmly, "Tang Yin, I want to have a word with you. Come over alone."

Tang Yin knitted his brows, glanced at Xiao Wu, then raised his eyes to look at Yu Xiaogang, saying coolly, "Master, just say what you have to say. Xiao Wu is the person I trust most."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu smiled sweetly and immediately cast a smug glance at Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang lowered his gaze and said in a deep voice, "What I want to talk about concerns your father."

Tang Yin said, "That is of no consequence."

Yu Xiaogang glanced at Xiao Wu, took a deep breath, and said, "Your father and I met a few times in the past. He came to find me before and entrusted me with looking after you. I have been keeping an eye on you ever since."

Tang Yin raised an eyebrow.

He had not expected that even without him taking Yu Xiaogang as his master, Tang Hao had still sought him out.

The only possibility was that Tang Hao believed Yu Xiaogang possessed the cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls.

After all, in the history of soul masters, Twin Martial Souls had appeared several times, but only one person had successfully cultivated to become a Title Douluo, and that was the current Pope of the Martial Soul Hall—Bibi Dong! And Yu Xiaogang happened to have a deep connection with Bibi Dong!

Tang Yin could only say that Tang Hao was overthinking things.

"Since you want to go to school in Suotuo City of the Bala Kingdom, I can recommend a better academy to you. The academy is called Shrek Academy, and its dean is a close friend of mine."

"The academy's faculty is extremely powerful, even surpassing most high-level Soul Master Academies, and you won't have to worry about obtaining your third Soul Ring."

After a moment of thought, Tang Yin asked, "Is this Shrek Academy really that impressive?"

Hearing this, a stiff smile finally appeared on Yu Xiaogang's zombie-like face as he nodded and said, "Every word I say is true."
