Over in the classroom, when class ended, Tang Chuan finished his first lesson.
"Good!"
Below the stage, Tang San was the first to rise and clap with all his strength. He felt as though he had never even hammered iron this hard before.
Clap clap clap!
Influenced by Tang San, the other students also stood and began applauding.
"Teacher Tang is the real master. That so-called Master Yu from before wasn't much at all."
"Yeah, I wanted to fall asleep listening to his lessons before, and I always felt like something was off."
The students all agreed that Tang Chuan had taught very well. They were only six- or seven-year-old children, and while some parts were difficult to understand, Tang Chuan had already explained them in the simplest and clearest way possible.
"Sir Tang Chuan, thank you for your lecture. A teacher from the academy will bring you your payment later."
Outside the classroom, Tang Chuan and the others were wrapping things up.
Tang San stood to the side, listening as the principal respectfully mentioned payment. His eyes widened slightly. So his godfather had been invited by the principal?
That morning, his godfather had only said he was coming to teach a class. He had never expected that to be the reason.
"Worthy of being my godfather—handsome, powerful, morally upright, and so wise. Most importantly, he's so pure and spotless!"
In Tang San's eyes, everyone from the Tang Sect was pure and spotless. His godfather was so handsome and wealthy, yet he had never sought out a woman. If that wasn't purity and spotless virtue, then what was?
This was Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track never dodging a woman's kiss, and Mysterious Jade Hand only holding a woman's little hand.
"Since that's the case, I'll take Xiao San home first."
"Of course. Student Tang San, if you suffer any grievances at the academy, don't keep them bottled up. Tell me directly, and I'll stand up for you!"
The principal wore a broad smile. Since Tang San was this man's disciple, he absolutely could not let him suffer any injustice.
A person like Tang Chuan certainly would not remain confined to a tiny place like Nuoding City. If he could befriend him now, then perhaps Nuoding Academy could take another step forward as well.
"Thank you for your concern, Principal. This student will definitely tell you!"
Tang Chuan led Tang San away from the teaching building, while the principal remained behind and watched them leave.
"Principal! This is bad! The city lord's son, Xiao Chenyu, is fighting with the Work-Study Students!"
A teacher hurried over. It was fortunate that the principal had come to attend the lesson today; otherwise, he might have had to look for the grade director first.
"Honestly, all you people do is bring me trouble! Lead the way."
Meanwhile, Tang Chuan was still chatting with Tang San.
"Xiao San, how has your Mysterious Heaven Skill been lately? Things like Crane Catching Dragon and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track—do you need your father to spar with you?"
"Can I, Godfather? Xiao San has happened to feel like he's hit a bottleneck recently."
"Of course. Nothing can be perfected by shutting yourself away. If you want to improve, you need to put it into practice."
Tang San nodded. His godfather's words were truly philosophical. Meanwhile, he, Tang San, only knew how to say things like "the path to death." He was practically a remnant of feudalism.
As they walked, they unknowingly arrived at the training field. Nuoding Academy's field was quite large, and it was close to the back mountain.
"Why are so many people gathered over there?"
Tang San was a little curious. Class had only just ended, yet people were already gathering here.
"Xiao San, isn't that your roommate, Xiao Wu? And several other Work-Study Students."
"It really is. But... did Xiao Wu get beaten up?"
They were indeed rather far away, so Tang San could only approach for a closer look. Tang Chuan followed him. The person surrounded was indeed Xiao Wu, and the boy at the front seemed to be Xiao Chenyu, the son of Nuoding City's lord.
"Xiao Wu, our boss has already said he'll take you in as his subordinate. How dare a mere Work-Study Student refuse?"
"Hmph, subordinate my ass! Sister Xiao Wu will never be anyone's slave!"
Xiao Wu got up and kicked at them, but among the Work-Study Students behind her, few dared to step forward with her. Only Wang Sheng followed her lead.
"You still dare fight back? Get her!"
Xiao Chenyu's lackeys swarmed forward and charged at Xiao Wu.
"Stop!"
Tang San's voice was firm and powerful, immediately bringing everyone to a halt.
Tang San hurried over, with a leisurely, handsome man following behind him.
"T-Tang Chuan?!"
Xiao Chenyu's expression turned ugly. His father had repeatedly warned him not to provoke Nuoding Academy's new teacher. That man's Soul Power Level far exceeded even his father's.
"Xiao Wu, are you alright?!"
Tang San ignored Xiao Chenyu and the others. As soon as he stepped forward, he saw that Xiao Wu was covered in small cuts, and her formerly clean school uniform was somewhat torn as well.
At once, although Tang San's eyes did not turn red, his expression became extremely solemn. He turned and sized up Xiao Chenyu and the others before saying:
"You dared to fight in private today. Tomorrow, you might dare block the entrance to our Work-Study Student dormitory. You're Xiao Chenyu, right? You wouldn't want your father to find out about this, would you?"
Tang San's rather island-nation-style line even left Tang Chuan stunned. The original story had never said Tang San was this secretly lewd.
"You! Let's go!"
With Tang Chuan here, Xiao Chenyu did not dare do anything more. He could only leave awkwardly with his underlings.
"Big Brother Tang Chuan... Teacher!"
Xiao Wu had just wanted to call Tang Chuan "big brother," but Tang San glared her into silence.
It seemed the earlier warning had not been enough. She actually still wanted to get close to my godfather? What did a little girl with no chest and no butt know?
"Xiao Wu, are you alright?"
Tang Chuan stepped forward and found that Xiao Wu was not seriously hurt, only suffering some superficial wounds.
"Come back with me later. I have some medicine that can help treat your injuries."
Tang Chuan spoke softly. He intended to have Tang San apply the medicine for Xiao Wu, giving the two of them a chance to grow closer. As for Xiao Wu, Tang Chuan had no interest in anything about her besides her soul ring and soul bone.
However, since she was very likely the person his disciple Tang San liked, Tang Chuan decided to observe her for now.
"Really?"
"Hiss!"
Xiao Wu instinctively tried to run toward Tang Chuan, but the moment she moved her foot, her brows immediately knitted tightly.
"Teacher Tang Chuan, Xiao Wu twisted her ankle... Can you carry me over?"
Tang Chuan found it rather strange. Could a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form really twist her ankle so easily? And she was a Soft Bone Rabbit—her flexibility should have been exceptionally good.
"Tch!"
Tang San sneered inwardly. Trying to use a pathetic act to trick my godfather into carrying you? Before my Purple Demon Eye, your scheme has already been exposed!
Tang San stepped forward and volunteered, "Teacher, let me do it. Xiao Wu and I are roommates!"
"Oh? Little San, I'm very pleased that you have such a helpful attitude. Then you do it."
Tang San immediately turned around, looking down at the pitiful Xiao Wu from above. The corners of his mouth rose wildly as his lips silently formed words.
Since his back was turned to Tang Chuan, Tang Chuan could not see it, but Xiao Wu saw it perfectly clearly.
"You're still too green!"
