Tang Chen: There Are No Scumbags in the Clear Sky Sect. If There Were, I'd Slap Them to Death

"Holy crap, Xiao San, you made the list! You're number one on the Scumbag Ranking!"

"Oh my god, am I seeing things? How could it be Xiao San?"

"Third Brother, you're incredible! You really kept it under wraps. I'm impressed!"

Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun shouted in shock, all applauding Tang San for claiming the top spot.

"You never know what a person is like beneath the surface!"

Zhu Zhuqing was usually a woman of few words, but she simply couldn't stand Tang San's pretense anymore. She couldn't help calling him out, and even felt sorry for Xiao Wu.

By then, tears had already welled in Xiao Wu's eyes.

She hadn't waited for Tang San to make the Love Saint Ranking. Instead, she'd watched him claim the top spot on the Scumbag Ranking.

The vast gulf between those two outcomes made her heart ache, as if a thousand arrows had pierced it.

"Xiao Wu, this ranking can't be trusted. My feelings for you are genuine."

"Don't misunderstand, either. I really am not a scumbag."

Seeing that Xiao Wu was about to cry, Tang San hurried to explain himself.

Ever since he'd crossed over to Douluo Continent, he'd only ever dated Xiao Wu.

Even if he counted his previous life, there was no way he could be a scumbag.

How on earth had the Heavenly Dao judged him? This was ridiculous!

It was trying to drive him to his death.

"How could the Sky Screen be wrong!"

"Xiao San, do you think I'll still believe you?"

Xiao Wu wept, feeling wronged.

After giving so much over all those years, this was the return she got.

Heaven was unfair to her!

"Heh. Not a single man is any good!"

Seeing Tang San's attempt to explain himself, Zhu Zhuqing looked at Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar nearby with contempt.

It was as if they were all scumbags just like Tang San.

Oscar noticed Zhu Zhuqing's contemptuous gaze and hurried to protest. "Hey, hey, hey, Zhuqing, why are you looking at me like that? We're innocent! You should be scolding Xiao San."

Ma Hongjun nodded repeatedly. "That's right. We're nothing like Third Brother."

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was ice-cold. Was that really the sort of look a young girl should have?

Good grief!

Whoever married her would be in for a miserable time.

"Quit talking nonsense!"

"You two have some nerve trying to defend yourselves."

"One of you is as lecherous as they come, and the other spends all his time visiting brothels to find Ru Hua."

"And you still have the nerve to talk about Xiao San!"

Dai Mubai couldn't stand by and watch Zhu Zhuqing get bullied. He jumped in to speak up for her, hoping to win her favor.

"Shut up. You're no better."

"Even those two, for all their faults, are a thousand times better than you, leaving a trail of broken hearts wherever you go!"

Seeing his ingratiating expression made Zhu Zhuqing sick.

"Heh heh, Boss Dai, that's what you get for sticking your nose in. Regretting it now?"

The irritating Oscar couldn't help coming over to tease him.

So what if he was lecherous?

He'd never toyed with anyone's feelings.

"Exactly. You've got no right to criticize us. You're no different."

Ma Hongjun nodded repeatedly, wholeheartedly agreeing.

He visited brothels all the time, but he couldn't help it.

If he didn't release the Evil Fire in him, something bad would happen.

"Xiao Ao, Fatty, you two are asking for a beating!"

Dai Mubai's face flushed red. He could only take out his frustration on the two of them.

"Xiao Wu, we've been together for six years!"

"You know how I've treated you!"

"Do you really not believe that my feelings for you are real?"

"Are you really going to believe this Scumbag Ranking instead?"

Tang San really wanted to pound his lousy friends into the ground.

It was bad enough that they weren't helping him explain himself. They were just adding fuel to the fire, making this even harder to explain.

Xiao Wu gently pushed Tang San away, keeping some distance between them. Her expression was full of uncertainty.

Over all these years, Tang San really had treated her well. Could there be something wrong with the Scumbag Ranking? Could it have made a mistake?

At the thought, Xiao Wu began to soften.

"Xiao Wu, I think Third Brother is pretty decent. We've all seen how he treats you."

"Why don't you watch him for a while longer?"

"If it really doesn't work out, you can break up later!"

Truth be told, Ning Rongrong still had feelings for Tang San.

If she kept interfering, she might make Tang San resent her.

Better to go along with it for now and take a step back to move forward.

With the Scumbag Ranking out there, Xiao Wu and Tang San's relationship was bound to fall apart sooner or later.

Then she could take advantage of the opening and make Tang San hers.

With Tang San's heaven-defying talent, he'd be the perfect son-in-law for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Her father would surely be delighted.

Xiao Wu took a deep breath. "All right. I'll believe you for now and give you one chance!"

Just as Ning Rongrong had said, she'd watch him for a while longer.

If the Scumbag Ranking had made a mistake, then she'd have wronged Tang San.

Still, the Scumbag Ranking had planted a seed of suspicion deep in Xiao Wu's heart. Sooner or later, it would sprout and grow.

"Thank you!"

Tang San thanked Ning Rongrong, then stood beside Xiao Wu and tried to take her hand.

But Xiao Wu still had reservations and kept rejecting his advances.

With no other choice, Tang San gave up. He simply stood beside her and waited quietly for the next name on the Scumbag Ranking.

He was curious who would be in second place.

Did he know him?

"What a kid!"

"You really kept it hidden—even from me. And now you've landed at the top of the Scumbag Ranking."

"Just how lecherous is he?"

Yu Xiaogang stared at the Scumbag Ranking, his face full of confusion.

He'd taught Tang San for so many years, yet he'd never realized he was such a lecherous scumbag.

"This unfilial son!"

"I've barely been gone, and he's already fooling around, messing about with women."

"Does he even care about cultivation?"

"No, I have to go back and keep an eye on him. I can't let him become a heartless bastard."

Tang Hao, who had left Shrek Academy not long ago, was stunned when he saw the ranking.

Tang San was at an impressionable age. He couldn't let him keep going down the wrong path.

If word got out, how could Tang Hao ever show his face again?

And how could he answer to Ah Yin, who had passed away?

"Tang Chen, the Scumbag King Tang San on that ranking shares your surname. Could he be a direct descendant of the Clear Sky Sect?"

"Your Tang family is really something!"

"One of you crossed species and got together with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"And another turned into a scumbag, yet you still have the nerve to come propose to Saixi."

"This isn't just an issue with one person's character. It's a problem with your Tang family's bloodline!"

"If I were you, I wouldn't have the face to stay on Sea God Island. I'd go home first and teach those unfilial descendants a lesson!"

Qian Daoliu, who had temporarily settled on Sea God Island, showed Tang Chen no mercy, openly mocking him in front of Bo Saixi.

"Qian Daoliu, what do you mean?"

"There are no scumbags in the Clear Sky Sect!"

"There are plenty of people surnamed Tang on Douluo Continent. Why are you picking on our Clear Sky Sect?"

"Tang San is such an ordinary name. How could he possibly be a direct descendant of our Clear Sky Sect?"

"Who'd be stupid enough to give someone such an awful name? What an idiot."

"If this Tang San really is a direct descendant of our Clear Sky Sect, I'll stand on my head and wash my hair, then slap him to death!"

"If you dare insult the Clear Sky Sect again, you'll have me to answer to. I'll beat your ass first!"
