Yu Xiaogang clamped a hand over his mouth as two streams of helpless tears rolled from the corners of his eyes.
Before long, Yu Xiaogang's suppressed sobs echoed through the room.
If he had not been afraid of waking the burly man beside him, he would have burst into loud, wailing tears long ago.
But sometimes, fate's arrangements were simply that perfectly timed.
As Yu Xiaogang cried, a sharp, thin sob suddenly slipped from his throat.
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly covered his mouth, staring in terror at the burly man as he shifted in his sleep.
Don't wake up! Don't wake up! I'm begging you! Don't wake up!
Yu Xiaogang prayed frantically in his heart. He even offered up a year of his father's lifespan, begging for the burly man not to wake up.
But unfortunately, perhaps Yu Yuanzhen was unwilling to part with that year of his life. After turning over, the burly man opened his tightly shut eyes.
And the moment he did, he saw Yu Xiaogang.
"Heh heh, I have to say, out of everyone I've met, you're the most satisfying."
The burly man gave Yu Xiaogang the highest praise.
He had made it! Yu Xiaogang had finally received recognition!
As for what kind of recognition it was, never mind that.
Yu Xiaogang stared at the awakened burly man with a face full of despair.
If his strength had been at the Soul King level, he would have immediately chopped the burly man before him into pieces and ground his bones to dust!
But helplessly, he was only a Soul Grandmaster and could do nothing but watch.
The burly man licked his lips, seemingly still unsatisfied.
"Hmm, since it's still early, why don't we do it again?"
It sounded like a discussion, but in truth, the burly man gave Yu Xiaogang no room to discuss anything.
Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang! Tell me, why did you wake him up?!
Wasn't it just your first time experiencing it? Couldn't you have endured it? And now, here came the second time.
Yu Xiaogang cursed himself madly in his heart. His mind suffered under his own abuse, while his body...
Several hours later, the burly man left the room with unsteady steps. Inside, Yu Xiaogang lay on the damp bed, staring at the ceiling as though he were dead.
But who was Gangzi? He was an indestructible cockroach!
After resting for a long while, Yu Xiaogang immediately got up.
He had to find Flender at once. As long as he found Flender, he could take revenge—avenge this hatred!
"Just wait. All of you, wait for this Grandmaster! Once I find my good brother Flender, that lowly Ma Fu, and that little bastard will all pay a painful price!"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot, and he panted like an ox. Now that the burly man was gone, he could finally let his true nature loose.
The moment Yu Xiaogang got out of bed, a wave of pain shot through him, hurting so badly that he lost control of his strength.
A pile of filthy matter instantly dropped out.
At the gates of Soto City, Tang San and Xiao Wu entered Soto City in a carriage.
At that very moment, the dark-skinned burly man happened to drive his carriage past the one carrying Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Originally, Tang San and Xiao Wu had indeed been walking obediently, but Xiao Wu simply could not bear it any longer. Moreover, Tang San was practically obedient to every condition Xiao Wu proposed.
So halfway through the journey, he followed Xiao Wu's arrangement and rented a carriage.
The carriage traveled all the way to the Rose Hotel. After paying the Gold Soul Coins, Tang San and Xiao Wu got out.
Notting City was also a city, but compared to Soto City, Notting City was like a slum.
From the moment Xiao Wu stepped out of the carriage, her large eyes continuously examined the surroundings.
Suddenly, Xiao Wu spotted the Rose Hotel.
"Hey, Xiao San, Xiao San, let's go rest at this hotel first."
Xiao Wu tugged on Tang San's arm, her adorable little face full of pleading.
Tang San glanced at the Rose Hotel and frowned.
To someone as conservative as him, the Rose Hotel's decor, the pairs of lovers coming and going, the combinations of one man and two women, and even the combinations of two men and one woman all made him feel deeply uncomfortable.
"Xiao Wu, let's hurry to the academy the teacher mentioned."
Xiao Wu immediately became unhappy upon hearing that. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at Tang San indignantly.
"Come on, I've been riding in a carriage all day. My butt hurts from sitting, and I just want to find a bed and get some proper rest."
"Besides, it won't be too late if we go to the academy tomorrow!"
The moment Xiao Wu got angry, Tang San's heart panicked.
He truly did not want to see even the slightest anger or dissatisfaction toward him on Xiao Wu's face!
"Fine, fine, fine! We'll listen to you. Let's rest at this hotel first and go to the academy tomorrow."
Seeing Tang San agree, Xiao Wu immediately returned to normal and wrapped both arms around Tang San.
That action made Tang San, this inexperienced young man, blush.
He couldn't take it, he couldn't take it. An adorable little girl had both arms wrapped around his arm—he simply couldn't take it.
When they entered the lobby of the Rose Hotel, Tang San's face reddened even more after seeing the decorations on the surrounding walls.
I wonder what Teacher is doing right now. Is he on his way here?
Thinking about his teacher's pressure made him feel less overheated, so Tang San could only silently think about his teacher in his heart.
I wonder whether Mistress has finished dealing with her matters yet.
Thinking of Mistress made Tang San's face flush even more, though even Tang San himself had no idea why.
The two went to the front desk, booked a room, and were just about to head over.
Then a figure who shocked and delighted him appeared before his eyes.
After cleaning up that pile of filth, Yu Xiaogang resumed his usual appearance: hands clasped behind his back, a mysterious smile always hanging on his face. But upon closer inspection, one would notice something.
Yu Xiaogang's strides were not very wide at the moment, as though he were afraid of pulling at something.
"Teacher!"
The moment Tang San saw his teacher, he immediately shouted loudly.
That familiar voice made Yu Xiaogang turn to look.
When he saw his disciple and Xiao Wu, a trace of discomfort immediately appeared on his face. But he quickly forced it down.
No, no. Xiao San absolutely cannot find out about this. Absolutely not!
If Tang San learned what he had experienced over the past day and night, then Yu Xiaogang would rather kill himself!
Rather than continue living!
Though if it really came to that, given Yu Xiaogang's courage, he might need someone else to lend him a hand.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
Tang San's face was filled with surprise. He had originally thought he would be separated from his teacher for a long time.
He had not expected to run into him before even two days had passed.
Yu Xiaogang's expression did not change. Everything appeared normal.
"Your teacher arrived here before you last night, but it was already late, so I simply rested for another night."
"And what about you? According to my calculations, it would have been impossible for you to reach Soto City on the second day if you had traveled on foot."
Hearing his teacher's question, Tang San panicked inside.
As his teacher's most obedient disciple, he naturally had to thoroughly complete every task his teacher assigned.
His teacher had told him to walk to Soto City, so he had to walk.
But now, he had come by carriage!
He had failed to complete his teacher's task, and if he lied to his teacher on top of that, it was something Tang San absolutely could not do.
Tang San explained why he had arrived in Soto City on the second day.
Upon hearing this, a hint of anger immediately appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.
"Xiao San, you have truly disappointed me. Once we reach the academy, run one hundred laps around the field. Let's see whether you dare do this again next time!"
"Yes, Teacher."
Tang San lowered his head and silently accepted his teacher's criticism.
Seeing Tang San behave so obediently, Yu Xiaogang immediately felt much better.
Exactly, that was how it should be!
Every word of Grandmaster Yu had to be carried out unconditionally!
