Tang San's Second Challenge!

Tang San's Second Challenge!

The two fell silent once more.

The dean said nothing further.

He had already given enough reminders; it could be said that he had fulfilled his duty as a friend.

If Grandmaster still refused to listen, there was nothing he could do.

As for Tang San, although he was curious why Grandmaster had taken Tang San as his disciple,

he would not pry too deeply.

Grandmaster, meanwhile, felt that his pride had been wounded by staying here.

So he left directly with Tang San.

On the way back,

"Little San, let me teach you another lesson," Grandmaster said.

Tang San replied, "Teacher, please tell me."

"When necessary, do not stand out. Learn to restrain yourself. Like this time—his side has a Soul Sage behind him, so it would be unwise to provoke him first."

"Teacher, I understand everything you said. But I will cultivate diligently and defeat him in the end, washing away this humiliation," Tang San said.

Grandmaster smiled with satisfaction upon hearing that.

Then he said, "It is good that you understand, Little San. At times like this, we must learn to avoid their edge."

"Yes, Teacher. I understand," Tang San answered again.

Tang San answered with his mouth, but his heart was filled with fury.

That fury was not only because Ma Hongjun had defeated him.

It was also because Ma Hongjun had spoken disrespectfully to Grandmaster just now.

In his eyes, aside from his father, Grandmaster was the only one who had treated him so well.

Ma Hongjun could insult him, but he could not insult Grandmaster.

Thus, he had already decided to challenge Ma Hongjun again.

This time, he would use his second Martial Soul.

He refused to believe that, after using the Clear Sky Hammer, the other party could still be his match.

After all, the weight of the Clear Sky Hammer was no joke.

The reason he did not tell Grandmaster

was that he feared Grandmaster would be unhappy and worry about him.

Ma Hongjun had to pay a price for what he had done.

Even if it meant exposing his second Martial Soul, he would not hesitate.

Wasn't Ma Hongjun's Martial Soul the Phoenix? So what? Before his Clear Sky Hammer, even a Phoenix had to bow its head.

And there was one more thing.

He still had hidden weapons. He could definitely defeat Ma Hongjun.

As for whether using hidden weapons was a little underhanded?

Tang San did not think it was underhanded in the slightest.

Because the other party had insulted his teacher.

And after doing such a thing,

using hidden weapons was nothing.

Just as Teacher had said,

there was no need to reason with unreasonable people.

When facing someone like Ma Hongjun,

Tang San felt there was no need to reason with him either.

All he was doing was taking revenge.

This was not a fair spar at all.

Under such circumstances,

there was naturally no need to talk about honor or morality.

Meanwhile, Ma Hongjun went straight to the cafeteria.

He had told Xiao Wu to wait for him there. She had probably already gotten their food and was waiting for him now.

After Ma Hongjun arrived at the cafeteria,

he spotted Xiao Wu sitting at a table from afar.

She really was waiting for him.

He immediately smiled.

Having a little girlfriend was pretty nice.

Like right now.

At least he did not have to get food himself.

Xiao Wu was also looking toward the cafeteria entrance.

There was no need to think about it; she was clearly waiting for him.

The moment she saw Ma Hongjun, she brightened up.

Ma Hongjun quickly walked over.

"What, tired of waiting?" Ma Hongjun teased.

Xiao Wu replied, "Who was waiting for you? Don't be so full of yourself. By the way, what did the dean want you for?"

Although she said that,

Xiao Wu was still quite concerned about it.

A faint smile flickered across Ma Hongjun's lips.

This little rabbit was far too adorable.

But in the next moment, his expression turned serious.

Then he said, "I didn't expect Wang Sheng to actually be right."

Xiao Wu froze when she heard that.

Wang Sheng had been right?

Hadn't he said before that Grandmaster might come looking for trouble with them?

"Did Grandmaster really come looking for trouble?" Xiao Wu asked directly.

Ma Hongjun nodded.

Seeing him nod, Xiao Wu's face filled with anger.

She said directly, "It must have been Tang San who went to Grandmaster. I never thought he was that kind of person. I even thought he was a good person before."

Ma Hongjun chuckled inwardly.

Then he said, "Tang San probably isn't that kind of person, right? Maybe he just explained what happened to Grandmaster, and Grandmaster came looking for me because he wanted to stand up for him."

Xiao Wu said, "Whether he tattled or not, I think this master and disciple pair are both bad people. They were the ones who came looking for trouble first, and now they are blaming us. No, I am going to reason with them. What right do they have to blame us?"

The amusement in Ma Hongjun's heart grew stronger. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

Dislike for someone accumulated bit by bit.

Only if Xiao Wu came to hate that guy

would they become completely impossible.

But he would not let Xiao Wu go reason with Tang San and Grandmaster.

"Xiao Wu, forget it. They did not gain any advantage. Instead, I mocked them so badly that they were quite upset," Ma Hongjun said.

Xiao Wu was somewhat surprised by that.

Then she asked curiously, "What exactly happened?"

Ma Hongjun told Xiao Wu what had just happened.

Xiao Wu smiled after hearing it.

"You should have been harsher," Xiao Wu said after thinking for a moment.

Ma Hongjun was instantly speechless.

Girls really did take sides once they had feelings.

See? Xiao Wu was standing on his side now.

Still, he truly liked this situation.

"Forget it, don't mind them. Let's eat quickly! I'm a little hungry," Ma Hongjun said directly.

Xiao Wu agreed.

She was hungry too.

Then the two of them went to eat.

That night,

Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu discovered something.

Tang San's bed was empty.

After asking Wang Sheng, they learned that Tang San had moved out that evening.

He had moved into the academy teachers' quarters.

Ma Hongjun and Xiao Wu looked at each other.

Did that mean he did not want to stay with them?

It had to be said, that seemed a little too fragile.

But after giving it some thought, Ma Hongjun understood.

If it had been him, he would not have continued living in this dormitory either.

And as far as he knew, Tang San had never been someone who could endure grievances.

The Tang Sect maxims he had learned made that quite clear.

But soon, they stopped paying attention to the matter.

It was good that Tang San had left. At least he would no longer be an eyesore here.

Next came Ma Hongjun's favorite part of the day.

That was right, it was time to rest.

Wasn't sleeping while holding a soft little rabbit wonderful?

Ma Hongjun had no intention of cultivating tonight.

Xiao Wu grew flustered under his gaze, and her face became a little hot.

"Fatty, why are you looking at me like that? Don't even think about doing what you did last night. If you try that again, I'll kick you right off the bed," Xiao Wu said.
