Addressing Each Other by Title at Work

As everyone knew, Tang Ya was the current Tang Sect Master.

However, the Tang Sect was a very strange sect. After all, when he had read Peerless Tang Sect, he had felt that the people of this sect seemed to possess a mindset of "the ancestral laws must not be changed." All they did every day was tinker with hidden weapons.

Even after the Sun Moon Empire emerged, when everyone else realized that Soul Tools were far more profitable than hidden weapons, and hidden weapons had been utterly crushed in the market by Soul Tools, the Tang Sect still spent every day making hidden weapons.

It was only when Tang Ya came along that their ideas changed somewhat. She felt it would be best to combine Soul Tools with hidden weapons.

And the most outrageous part was that Bei Bei had said in the original story that Tang San possessed the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, yet in order to commemorate Tang San, every generation of Tang Sect Masters had possessed the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Wasn't that complete nonsense? You all knew Tang San had the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul, yet you still made Soul Masters with Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls the Tang Sect Master?

The gap between an ordinary Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul was actually enormous.

Therefore, many people with Blue Silver Grass Martial Souls truly were useless Soul Masters, just as Blind Douluo Su Yuntao had assessed.

At that moment, Tang Ya stepped forward. She looked delightedly at the grilled fish in Huo Yuhao's hands and said, "Little brother, could you sell us some grilled fish? It smells so wonderful. It must be delicious, right?"

Her eyes were fixed straight on the grilled fish, as though she could not look away. Huo Yuhao felt that if Tang Ya did not get to eat any grilled fish soon, she might start drooling.

It had to be said that Huo Gua-version grilled fish was indeed formidable. Even in Shrek City, where merchants were everywhere, Huo Gua-version grilled fish still ranked among the best-selling items. In the original story, when Huo Gua had still been weak in the early stages, he had made a name for himself by selling grilled fish.

Huo Yuhao kept his age and current persona firmly in mind, so he behaved in a manner fitting his age at times like this. A blush appeared on his face as he started acting cute. "Big sister, I'll treat you."

"Really? Then I won't stand on ceremony." Tang Ya walked forward in surprise, picked up a grilled fish, and began devouring it. After quickly finishing it, she said in astonishment, "Little brother, your grilled fish smells amazing! Even in Shrek City, I've never eaten grilled fish this delicious! I think that if you were willing to sell grilled fish in Shrek City, you'd definitely make a lot of money."

Bei Bei smiled from the side. "Xiao Ya, you're misleading this little brother. The competition among merchants in Shrek City is far too fierce. If he rashly enters Shrek City to sell grilled fish, he could very well lose money."

Tang Ya curled her lips. "You'll know once you taste it. This grilled fish is really delicious. Also, what did you call me outside?"

"I was wrong, Teacher Xiao Ya." Bei Bei immediately yielded, revealing a somewhat ingratiating smile.

Seeing this scene, Huo Yuhao secretly complained in his heart, Well, well, well. Addressing each other by title at work, huh.

You call her Teacher when you're outside, so what about when the two of you are alone? Don't tell me I'm part of your play too?

"Hmph, that's more like it." Tang Ya picked up a skewer of grilled fish and handed it to Bei Bei. "Here, have a taste."

Bei Bei accepted the grilled fish and began tasting it.

Very quickly, Bei Bei too experienced the deliciousness of the grilled fish. His eyes immediately lit up. "Not bad, not bad. Little brother, where did you learn to make grilled fish like this?"

"I learned it from my mother." Huo Yun'er's figure appeared in Huo Yuhao's mind.

"I see." Bei Bei nodded, then began introducing himself. "Little brother, my name is Bei Bei, and she is Tang Ya. What is your name?"

"Big brother, my name is Huo Yuhao," Huo Yuhao said.

"Huo Yuhao..." Bei Bei pondered for a moment before starting a conversation with Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao ate grilled fish while dealing with him, while Tang Ya occasionally chimed in from the side. Before long, Huo Yuhao stood up and bid the two farewell.

He had not forgotten that his main purpose in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest was to find Brother Sky Dream and Electrolux. After all, both were extremely important to Huo Yuhao.

In the early stages, Brother Sky Dream had played no small role. Although Huo Yuhao possessed the Spirit Eye Martial Soul, he had only one level of Innate Soul Power. If Brother Sky Dream had not defied fate for him right from the start, Huo Yuhao's path would have been very difficult.

Furthermore, Brother Sky Dream could help Huo Yuhao capture the Ice Empress, allowing him to create a second Martial Soul.

Without Brother Sky Dream's help, Huo Yuhao likely would not even have had the chance to meet the Ice Empress. After all, she was one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North!

Of course, the Ice Empress later became one of Huo Yuhao's cheats as well.

Huo Gua, Huo Gua—without cheats, how could he be called Huo Gua?

However, there was one thing in Peerless Tang Sect that he found rather hard to accept: Huo Yuhao's lineup was actually far more luxurious than Tang San's had been back then.

Yet in the end, Huo Yuhao had only obtained the position of God of Emotion. Though the God of Emotion was quite powerful, he was merely a First Level God and was no match for the Asura God. At most, he could serve as an assistant to Tang San, the Asura God.

"Still, it's fortunate that I know the plot. There's no way I'll be Tang San's dog in this life! I'll have to find a way to obtain a stronger godhood in the future. Otherwise, being suppressed by Asura Tang San would be far too stifling."

He took step after step into the Star Dou Great Forest, intending to settle the score with the Wind Baboon.

According to his memories, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had appeared near that Wind Baboon that had nearly killed a god.

Therefore, even though this carried a certain degree of risk, he had to go for the sake of finding Brother Sky Dream.

Behind him.

Tang Ya said, "Bei Bei, I want to recruit Yuhao into the Tang Sect. Why don't we catch up to him now? I can sense that he possesses soul power, which means he can become a Soul Master!"

Upon hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Bei Bei's face. The current Tang Sect had already declined and was utterly incomparable to the Tang Sect of ten thousand years ago. Thus, under normal circumstances, they could not recruit particularly talented people into the Tang Sect.

After all, much of what the Tang Sect possessed was already seen by outsiders as outdated.

For most people, the Tang Sect's most attractive feature was still its one annual exemption slot for Shrek Academy.

That exemption slot was indeed highly appealing to some people.

However, because joining the Tang Sect meant one could not withdraw, and withdrawing meant returning all Tang Sect Secret Techniques, few people were willing to bind themselves to the Tang Sect just for such a slot.

After all, the Tang Sect's very sect grounds had now been seized by the Iron Blood Sect. No matter how glorious the Tang Sect had once been, it could not conceal its current state of decline.

"No matter what, we ate his grilled fish for free, so let's follow him and prevent him from being harmed by the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Besides, whether to recruit him into the Tang Sect is something you had already decided in your heart, isn't it?" Bei Bei said helplessly.

"You agreed?"

"Great Teacher Xiao Ya, you are the Sect Master, while I am merely the Tang Sect Senior Apprentice-Brother. If the Sect Master has an idea, what more can I, the senior apprentice-brother, say?" Bei Bei sighed, then followed after Huo Yuhao with Tang Ya.
