Tang Wulin's arrival brought the battle to a complete halt.
Tang San snorted and released Xiao Wu, but the look he gave her was far from friendly.
That naturally evil Soft Bone Rabbit girl...
If the teacher hadn't come, I would have made you pay!
At that moment, Xiao Wu, having regained control of her body, angrily stood up. However, she did not immediately go looking for trouble with Tang San. Instead, she stared unblinkingly at Tang Wulin.
That tender little face held surprise and confusion. In the end, all that remained was joy and a radiance of maternal love.
That was right. At that moment, Tang Wulin seemed to become her own child in Xiao Wu's eyes.
Although Xiao Wu had never had any children, for some unknown reason, the way she looked at Tang Wulin at that moment was exactly like looking at her own child.
That maternal love from the bottom of her heart instantly made Xiao Wu completely enamored with Tang Wulin. This was not the kind of infatuation between a man and a woman, but the purest love a mother had for her child.
"You... what's your name?"
Xiao Wu spoke haltingly, and a trace of anxiety had actually crept onto that tender little face.
"Hm?"
Hearing Xiao Wu speak beside him and even ask for his teacher's name, Tang San's gaze grew even colder.
What did this naturally evil Soft Bone Rabbit want? Could she be trying to snatch his teacher away?
She already had a death wish!
"Xiao Wu, right? I'm Tang San's teacher, Tang Wulin."
"I've already heard about what happened between you two from Director Su."
"Although Tang San was impulsive, you were ultimately the one in the wrong."
"You're both from Dorm Seven, and you're both work-study students. That alone makes it fate. It wouldn't be worthwhile to let such a small matter sour your relationship."
"So apologize to each other. I'll be your witness this time."
Tang Wulin smiled, reached out to rub Tang San's head, then reached out to rub Xiao Wu's head as well. After appreciating the texture of both their hair, he finally spoke.
"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry. I was impulsive!"
Tang San did not hesitate in the slightest. As soon as Tang Wulin finished speaking, he chose to apologize.
After beating Xiao Wu up, he had actually already vented his anger. Now that his teacher had arrived, apologizing was no big deal.
"Tang Wulin, what a lovely name. Then Wulin, can I call you Wulin from now on?"
Xiao Wu looked at Tang Wulin with boundless affection in her eyes. That almost overwhelming maternal love made her voice gentle, without a trace of her usual obstinacy. There was only pure, loving tenderness.
"Xiao Wu, how dare you!"
"How can you address the teacher by his name? Calling the teacher Wulin—isn't that taking advantage of me?"
"I think you already have a death wish!"
In Tang San's eyes, this Xiao Wu in front of him had gone too far.
Not only had she failed to apologize, she even wanted to call his teacher Wulin?
What was she trying to do? What on earth was she thinking?
Calling the teacher by his name openly was simply an act of completely disregarding him. For a moment, Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot, and he panted like an enraged bull.
The Silent Sleeve Arrow on Tang San's wrist was fully primed, practically ready to unleash a volley at Xiao Wu.
"Just calling me Wulin... let's not."
"I'm older than you, after all, and I'm also Xiao San's teacher. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to call me by my name. If you don't mind, you can call me teacher instead."
Tang Wulin shook his head and gave Xiao Wu a puzzled look. For some reason, he always felt that there was something strange about the way Xiao Wu looked at him.
There even seemed to be a trace of affection in her gaze?
That wasn't right. He was only using the Tang Wulin template; he wasn't really Tang Wulin. Why was Xiao Wu looking at him like that? Could she even sense something?
"That's fine too, that's fine. Then if there's something I don't understand in the future, can I come ask you?"
Xiao Wu was a little disappointed, but she quickly settled for the next best thing.
She truly had a strong favorable impression of Tang Wulin. That feeling that the human before her was her own little one made her want to care for Tang Wulin and stand by his side as she watched the child grow.
It was fine if she couldn't call him Wulin. Being able to watch Tang Wulin was enough for her.
"You can, but you have to apologize to Xiao San first!"
Tang Wulin glanced at Xiao Wu and did not refuse. Even if he refused, Tang Hao would use other means to arrange for Tang San and Xiao Wu to stay together anyway, so he might as well agree directly and avoid the trouble.
"Teacher, that's not..."
Tang San panicked. What was this supposed to mean?
Why could Xiao Wu address the teacher the same way he did? She had no right to do that at all!
Wasn't he the teacher's only disciple?!
It was unfair. This was simply too unfair!
"Sorry, Tang San. It was all my fault. I hope you won't be angry anymore."
Xiao Wu gave Tang San no chance to speak and immediately apologized.
Seeing the two of them reconcile, Tang Wulin nodded in satisfaction.
"Xiao San, come with me."
"Xiao Wu, it's still early. Take these Gold Soul Coins and buy yourself a new set of bedding."
Tang Wulin knew Xiao Wu had no money, so he immediately took several Gold Soul Coins from his storage Soul Tool and handed them over.
Xiao Wu had originally wanted to learn more about Tang Wulin, but it was already getting late. If she didn't buy bedding soon, she would have nowhere to sleep that night.
With that thought, she could only temporarily give up on learning more about Tang Wulin. She hurriedly ran out of Notting Academy.
As for Tang Wulin, he soon took Tang San back to his room.
"Teacher, why did you let that Xiao Wu call you teacher too? Could it be that you want to take her as a disciple as well?"
As soon as he entered the room, Tang San impatiently turned to Tang Wulin and asked.
Tang San did not really care about gaining a senior or junior fellow disciple, but he always felt that there was something strange about the way Xiao Wu looked at his teacher. If the teacher took Xiao Wu as a disciple, it would undoubtedly bring him quite a bit of trouble.
Therefore, if the teacher truly had that intention, Tang San felt that he had to persuade him otherwise.
"Xiao San, your combat strength is ultimately too weak in the early stages. If you want to grow, you must have companions to support you."
"This Xiao Wu girl isn't bad, and she also possesses Innate Full Soul Power. Although the Soft Bone Rabbit martial soul isn't particularly strong, its growth potential in the future is actually quite good."
"In my view, you and Xiao Wu can help each other and grow together. So get along well with this Xiao Wu girl, even if it's only for your own growth."
"As for taking her as a disciple, I have no intention of accepting a second disciple. You are my final disciple."
Tang San left, departing Tang Wulin's room in exceptionally high spirits.
At that moment, Tang San's respect for Tang Wulin had risen yet again.
So the teacher had been treating Xiao Wu so well for his sake.
Ah, the teacher truly had it hard. But the teacher was right. I really could associate with Xiao Wu. After all, her talent was truly excellent.
The teacher really was too good to me!
