Ask Teacher Xiao Ya?
That was obviously inappropriate.
Setting aside how deep Bai Ran's ties to the Tang Sect ran,
the Tang Sect now existed in name only.
What if he believed he was the rightful successor and tried to take the position of Tang Sect Master from Teacher Xiao Ya?
Bai Ran might be a good person, but that didn't mean his fiancée or the forces behind him were good people too.
Take the White Tiger Duke's Estate. It looked splendid on the outside, but all kinds of sordid things went on within. Huo Yuhao didn't even want to talk about them.
"Let's go back, Xiao Xiao."
"Class monitor, don't you want to get to the bottom of this?"
"There's no need. If Bai Ran wants to tell us, we'll find out someday.
If he doesn't, there's no need to force him."
If that upset Bai Ran and damaged their friendship, it would be a terrible outcome.
"You're right.
It's getting late. Let's go back to sleep, class monitor."
Xiao Xiao was happy to see her friend doing well.
As long as tonight didn't affect the upcoming match, Haki Bai could do whatever she liked.

Elsewhere, Bai Ran carried a huge pile of things into a hotel with Tang Wutong and booked a room with a king-size bed.
The size of the bed didn't really matter. What mattered was having a big table.
Otherwise, there would be nowhere to put all that food and drink.
"Little Seven, take it easy."
"I know."
"You say you know, but could you wipe the drool from your mouth first?"
"I can't.
