"Holy crap, Tang San, you're on the list! You're actually at the top of the Scumbag Ranking!"
"Good heavens, am I seeing this right? How could it be Tang San?"
"Brother San, you're a legend! You really hide your true colors well—I'm impressed!"
Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun shouted in shock, one after another giving a thumbs-up to Tang San for his glorious top spot on the list.
"You can know a person's face, but not their heart!"
Zhu Zhuqing rarely spoke, but she could no longer stand Tang San's facade. She couldn't help but chime in with a jab, even feeling a sense of sympathy for Xiao Wu.
At this moment, tears were already welling up in Xiao Wu's eyes.
She hadn't waited to see Tang San top the Love Saint Ranking, but instead, she had waited to see him top the Scumbag Ranking.
The chasm between those two outcomes made her heart ache, as if it were being pierced by ten thousand arrows.
"Xiao Wu, this list cannot be trusted. Everything I feel for you is sincere."
"And you guys, don't misunderstand. I am truly not a scumbag."
Seeing that Xiao Wu was on the verge of tears, Tang San hurriedly tried to defend himself.
Ever since he had transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, he had only ever been in a relationship with Xiao Wu.
Even if he included his past life, there was no way he could be a scumbag.
How on earth did the Heavenly Dao make this judgment? It was too fake!
This was trying to drive him to his death.
"How could the Sky Screen be wrong!"
"Tang San, do you think I would still believe you?"
Xiao Wu cried out in grievance.
After all these years of devotion, this was the return she had received.
Heaven was being unfair to her!
"Heh, men are all trash!"
Seeing Tang San's attempt at an explanation, Zhu Zhuqing cast a look of contempt toward Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar standing to the side.
It was as if she viewed them all as scumbags just like Tang San.
Oscar noticed Zhu Zhuqing's disdainful gaze and quickly tried to argue his case, "Hey, hey, hey, Zhuqing, why are you looking at me like that? We're innocent here; you should be scolding Tang San."
Ma Hongjun nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yeah, we're nothing like Brother San."
Zhu Zhuqing's cold glare was intense—was this really the look a young girl should have?
Good grief!
Whoever married her would have a miserable time.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
"You two still have the nerve to argue."
"One is lecherous to the extreme, and the other spends every day at brothels looking for girls."
"And you have the gall to talk about Tang San!"
Dai Mubai didn't want to see Zhu Zhuqing being bullied, so he jumped in to speak up for her, hoping to win her favor.
"Shut up, you're the same—you're no good either."
"No matter how bad those two are, they're ten thousand times better than you, leaving a trail of broken hearts everywhere you go!"
Seeing his fawning expression made Zhu Zhuqing feel sick.
"Heh heh, Boss Dai, you just had to open your mouth. Regretting it now?"
The ever-provocative Oscar couldn't help but lean in to tease him.
So what if he was a bit lecherous?
At least he didn't toy with other people's feelings.
"Exactly, you have the nerve to talk about us when you're just the same."
Ma Hongjun nodded repeatedly, agreeing with every word.
He went to brothels often, but that was out of necessity.
If he didn't release the evil fire in his body, something bad would happen.
"Oscar, Fatty, I think you two are looking for a beating!"
Dai Mubai's face turned red with embarrassment, and he could only vent his frustration on the two of them.
"Xiao Wu, we've been together for six years!"
"You know very well how I've treated you!"
"Do you not even believe in the feelings I have for you?"
"Must you insist on believing in this Scumbag Ranking?"
Tang San truly wanted to beat those fair-weather friends of his to death.
Not only did they refuse to help him explain, but they also poured oil on the fire, making it even harder for him to clear his name.
Xiao Wu gently pushed Tang San away, maintaining a certain distance, her expression flickering with endless hesitation.
Having walked this path for so many years, Tang San had indeed treated her well; could it be that the Scumbag Ranking really had a problem, that it had made a mistake?
Thinking of this, Xiao Wu's heart softened a little.
"Xiao Wu, I think Third Brother is actually fine. We've all seen with our own eyes how he treats you."
"Why don't you observe him a little longer?"
"If it really doesn't work out, you can break up then!"
In truth, Ning Rongrong still had a favorable impression of Tang San.
If she continued to stir up trouble, she feared she would only provoke Tang San's resentment.
It would be better to go with the flow, taking a step back to advance later.
With the Scumbag Ranking in existence, Xiao Wu and Tang San's relationship would be over sooner or later.
When that time came, she would seize the opportunity to step in and snatch Tang San for herself.
With Tang San's heaven-defying talent, him marrying into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be just right; her father would certainly be pleased.
Xiao Wu took a deep breath and said, "Fine, I will believe you for now and give you one chance!"
Just as Ning Rongrong had suggested, she would observe him for a period of time first.
If the Scumbag Ranking had made a mistake, then she would have wronged Tang San.
However, the Scumbag Ranking had still planted a seed of doubt deep within Xiao Wu's heart; sooner or later, that seed would sprout and grow.
"Thank you!"
Tang San thanked Ning Rongrong and stood beside Xiao Wu, attempting to take her small hand.
But Xiao Wu still held a grudge, repeatedly pushing away his displays of affection.
Helpless, Tang San had no choice but to give up, merely standing close to her as he waited quietly for the next entry on the Scumbag Ranking.
He was very curious: who would be second?
Did he know them?
"Good lad!"
"He's been hiding it well, even keeping it from me, to actually top the Scumbag Ranking."
"Just how depraved is his heart?"
Yu Xiaogang stared at the Scumbag Ranking, his face full of confusion.
He had taught Tang San for so many years, and he truly hadn't seen that he was such a depraved scumbag.
"This unfilial son!"
"I had only just left, and he's already started acting recklessly, messing around with romantic entanglements."
"Does he have no concern for his cultivation at all!"
"No, I must go back and watch over him; I cannot let him become a heartless man."
Tang Hao, who hadn't left Shrek Academy for long, was stunned when he saw the list.
Tang San was currently in the prime of his youth; he couldn't let him continue down the wrong path.
If this were to spread, how could he, Tang Hao, hold his head up?
He wouldn't be able to face the departed A Yin either.
"Tang Chen, the scumbag king Tang San on the list also shares the surname Tang. Could he be a direct descendant of your Clear Sky Sect?"
"Your Tang family is truly something!"
"One person crossed species to unite with a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."
"Another has turned into a scumbag. It's a wonder you still have the face to come and propose to Bo Saixi."
"This is no longer a matter of individual character, but a problem with your Tang family's bloodline!"
"If it were me, I wouldn't have the face to stay on Sea God Island at all; I'd go back first to discipline those unfilial descendants!"
Qian Daoliu, who was temporarily staying on Sea God Island, didn't give Tang Chen any face at all, mocking him directly in front of Bo Saixi.
"Qian Daoliu, what do you mean by that?"
"My Clear Sky Sect has no scumbags!"
"There are plenty of people named Tang on the Douluo Continent; why must you fixate on my Clear Sky Sect?"
"Tang San—such a common name—how could he possibly be a direct descendant of my Clear Sky Sect?"
"Who would be such an idiot to take such an ugly name? A complete fool, surely."
"If this Tang San is truly a direct descendant of my Clear Sky Sect, I will stand on my head to wash my hair and slap him to death myself!"
"If you dare to slander my Clear Sky Sect again, be careful, or I'll get serious with you and beat you to a pulp first!"
