Not Allowing Anyone to Slander the Tang Sect

"Teacher Xiao Ya, Bai Ran comes from a reclusive family, so it isn't convenient for him to reveal much."

A reclusive family?

In a sense, the Clear Sky Sect did count as one. After all, the direct disciples of the Clear Sky Sect all bore the surname Tang.

"So that's how it is."

Since it was inconvenient, Tang Ya did not press further.

At the same time, her gaze turned somewhat heated as she looked at Huo Yuhao.

"Little Yuhao, are we having grilled fish tonight?"

The reason Tang Ya had valued Huo Yuhao and accepted him into the Tang Sect was not only because of the Tang Sect's own decline. Huo Yuhao's skill at grilling fish was also a definite bonus.

One of Tang Ya's favorite foods was grilled fish.

Yet of all the grilled fish she had eaten before, the most delicious was undoubtedly the fish Huo Yuhao grilled himself.

But now, aside from a grill, where were the fish?

Why were there no fish in sight?

Could they be stored in a soul tool?

Replica Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night was a soul tool modeled after Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night.

The original Twenty-Four Bridge Moonlit Night could not store living creatures. As an imitation, how could it possibly possess a function the original lacked?

If live fish were placed inside, or even if cleaned fish were stored there, they would become stale within a few hours.

No matter how skilled Huo Yuhao was at grilling fish, if the ingredients were not fresh enough, he still could not make delicious grilled fish.

"Teacher Xiao Ya, I prepared them long ago."

As Huo Yuhao spoke, he walked to the edge of Sea God Lake and pulled up the net he had cast earlier.

Inside were seven or eight lively, fresh fish.

"Huh? Little Yuhao, did you catch these fish from Sea God Lake?

But if I remember correctly, Sea God Lake only has ornamental fish, right?"

"Well, Teacher Xiao Ya, I bought these beforehand and temporarily raised them in Sea God Lake."

If there had only been three or four fish, Huo Yuhao's fishing skills would have been enough to catch them in an afternoon.

But seven or eight of them? If he had not bought them from the cafeteria uncle, Huo Yuhao would never have caught so many even if he fished himself to death.

Not to mention that Sea God Lake did not have this kind of edible fresh fish at all.

If it did, the other students would have long since fished them all out.

"So that's how it is."

After that, Huo Yuhao and Tang Ya chatted and laughed together, while Beibei occasionally chimed in.

As for Bai Ran, his "close roommate" status made him seem somewhat out of place at this Tang Sect gathering.

"Junior, I didn't expect you to already be a Soul Elder at such a young age. When you have time, how about sparring with your senior?"

Beibei noticed Bai Ran sitting silently in the corner and quickly went over to strike up a conversation. At the same time, he took out a bottle of water from his storage ring and handed it to him.

On the surface, Bai Ran appeared quiet and reserved.

In reality, Bai Ran was having a lively conversation with Tang Wutong inside him.

Thus, when Beibei suddenly interrupted them, Bai Ran did not mind much, but Tang Wutong was furious.

If her elder father had not instructed her before coming to Shrek that she was not allowed to come out casually, Tang Wutong would already have taken out her bean-paste-bun-sized fist and fiercely punched Beibei.

Tang Wutong: Wait, other than Haki Bai, I can't touch anyone.

Hmph~ Sparring? Fine. Next time this auntie possesses Haki Bai, I'll beat you to death.

"Senior Beibei, I've heard of your accomplishments. With a martial soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, you should have your own family backing. Why would you join an insignificant faction like the Tang Sect, which has been in decline for years?"

Bai Ran spoke in a voice only he and Beibei could hear.

After all, if Tang Ya and Huo Yuhao nearby heard those words—

It would be one thing if Tang Ya got upset, but it would be bad if Huo Yuhao got worked up.

After all, without the Tang Sect, Huo Yuhao would not have been able to enter Shrek Academy.

No one was allowed to disparage the Tang Sect, not even Bai Ran, the roommate he would be living with for many years to come.
