Tang San's Fury, Tang Hao's Weariness

The night deepened.

Dark clouds obscured the bright moon.

In Shrek Academy, lights that had long been extinguished lit up again in several places.

In Flender's dean's office, the original Shrek Six Monsters, led by Tang San, had gathered.

Flender sat there with a grave expression. Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, and the other core members were also present.

No one could relax at a time like this. The entire office was shrouded in a stifling atmosphere.

Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, his hands clenched tightly together, his knuckles creaking without pause.

Xiao Wu had been taken!

Xiao Wu had actually been taken!

And her arms and legs had even been broken?!

Aaargh...

A beastlike growl escaped Tang San's throat.

He had been awakened in the middle of the night and suddenly learned of this. It felt as though the sky were falling.

Ning Rongrong sat to one side. Her knee was injured, and she could not stand at all.

Gone was the domineering air she had shown before Ye Qingtian. Seeing Tang San looking ready to devour someone, she instinctively lost momentum.

"Third Brother... Third Brother, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have acted rashly!"

"I'm sorry, Third Brother. I bear an inescapable responsibility for what happened to Xiao Wu. If she hadn't been trying to avenge me, she wouldn't have gone with us in the middle of the night to trouble that guy."

"If... if none of this had happened, Xiao Wu definitely wouldn't have been taken away, and her limbs definitely wouldn't have been broken by them!"

Ning Rongrong shrank her neck. Tang San was terrifying right now, and even her voice sounded weak.

It would have been better if she had kept quiet. The moment she spoke, Tang San snapped out of his overwhelming fury.

"Sorry? What use is sorry now?"

"Didn't you hear what I said during the day? Didn't you hear what Teacher said either?"

"Regarding those two people from earlier, what did we say? Put it aside for now, put it aside for now! Who told you to take it upon yourselves to retaliate? Huh?"

"We're a team! You went off on your own, acting independently, and now our companion has been taken and subjected to inhuman torture. Do you even still see us as a team?!"

Tang San exploded, berating her in a rapid barrage.

He did not care whether Ning Rongrong was a girl. Right now, he was like a wild beast, crazily demanding answers.

Ning Rongrong felt utterly wronged. She did not dare meet Tang San's gaze, shrinking her neck like a wilted eggplant.

Oscar's heart ached for her, and he said softly, "Xiao San, what happened with Rongrong actually wasn't—"

"Wasn't what? Are you trying to make excuses for Rongrong even now?"

Tang San immediately turned on Oscar. "What did I just say? We're all a team. Who gave them permission to act alone?"

Oscar: "..."

Tang San was burning with rage, and Oscar immediately fell silent. All at once, he felt rather uncomfortable with Tang San's behavior.

You, Tang San, had the nerve to say that? There had been plenty of times when you acted alone in the past, hadn't there?

You were only flying into a rage now because you saw that Xiao Wu had been taken!

When you berated Rongrong, did you ever consider how I felt?

Oscar felt uneasy, but he forcibly suppressed his displeasure.

"Enough, Xiao San!"

"Everyone calm down and listen to me first!"

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang suddenly spoke.

As soon as he spoke, everyone in the office turned their eyes toward him.

"Don't take any action tonight. Tomorrow, I'll see whether I can resolve this matter."

"Ah, I truly don't want to use that identity."

Yu Xiaogang sighed faintly.

At the mention of helping Tang San resolve this matter, his eyes held a trace of complexity.

Yet beneath that complexity was the certainty that he would most likely be able to settle it.

"Teacher, that identity you mentioned... what identity?" Tang San pressed.

Yu Xiaogang said, "I am one of Spirit Hall's elders. Although it is only an honorary position, it is still somewhat useful in the Soul Master World."

"So after daybreak, I'll try using that status. I imagine the other side will give me some face."

Upon hearing that,

Tang San's eyes lit up.

Yu Xiaogang's sudden assurance gave him a powerful sense of relief.

Seeing Yu Xiaogang take the initiative to resolve the matter, Flender followed up and said:

"Xiaogang, since you've decided to do this, I'll make a trip to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect on Rongrong's behalf!"

"Once I inform the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, we'll deal with it together after Sect Master Ning and the others arrive!"

Yu Xiaogang hummed in acknowledgment and did not reject Flender's suggestion.

With the arrangements temporarily made, Yu Xiaogang indicated for Tang San and the others to return and rest first.

After returning to his quarters, Tang San's anger had not subsided much.

Xiao Wu had been taken. No matter what, he could not calm himself down. It felt as unbearable as having his balls snatched by a monkey.

"Xiao Wu, you mustn't let anything happen to you!"

"After daybreak, Teacher and I will go save you!"

Deep in the night.

Tang Hao stood atop a large tree like a ghost.

Tang San's murmurs inside his bedroom all reached his ears, and everything that had happened in the office earlier had also entered his sight.

"I only just returned, and something like this happened?"

"When did Heaven Dou City gain someone like this, someone capable of disregarding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's two Titled Douluo?"

"Could Xiao Wu have been exposed? But from what I just heard, it doesn't seem like it. What exactly is going on?"

Tang Hao muttered to himself.

Confusion flickered in his deep eyes.

After pondering for a long time, he wanted to go see Tang San, but ultimately suppressed the thought.

"Forget it. I'll continue watching from the shadows for now."

"With Grandmaster here, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as well, this matter should still be resolvable."

Tang Hao let out a heavy sigh.

Having decided on his next course of action, he leaned against the tree and silently sat down.

A wave of exhaustion suddenly swept through his entire body.

He had only just returned and already encountered something like this. Heaven truly did not want to let him have any peace!

"I'll rest for now. Tomorrow, I'll follow them in secret and see what exactly is happening!"

"I hope all my worries are unnecessary. If the other side is deliberately causing trouble and Xiao Wu cannot be rescued, Xiao San definitely won't let it go!"

"When that time comes, I may have no choice but to act!"

Tang Hao muttered wearily. He did not want to expose himself to the public so soon.

But when he considered Tang San's situation, he ultimately could not completely calm his heart.

A sharp glint slowly flashed through the depths of his eyes:

"We'll take it one step at a time. Perhaps this is Heaven's arrangement as well. The Clear Sky Hammer has reached the time to return to the Soul Master World."

"Let's see who it is. If I truly have to act, there will be nothing to fear. After all, in this Soul Master World, there is still no one against whom I would not dare make a move!"
