Being Expelled from Spirit Hall Was a Good Thing!

Tang San sprinted all the way back to Holy Soul Village. His years of experience at Spirit Hall had only made his longing to return home grow with each passing day.

With me gone all these years and no longer being an eyesore, Father probably didn't drown himself in misery every day anymore, right? Tang San hoped even more that Tang Hao had managed to pull himself together.

Tang Hao had planned to get some sleep that night, then look for his son Tang San once he sobered up and his mind was clear the next day.

A rapid knocking shattered Tang Hao's formerly peaceful life.

Knock, knock, knock—

"Dad, I'm back from Spirit Hall!"

"Xiao San, why are you back? Spirit Hall didn't do anything to you, did they?"

"If they really dared to hurt you, your old man would drink himself into a fight to the death with them!"

The father and son, who had not seen each other in a long time, embraced on the spot.

"I missed you so much!" Tears ran down both father and son's faces despite themselves.

"Joining Shrek Academy might be the right path." Tang Hao looked serious, with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"Actually, joining Spirit Hall back then really was an accident."

"But after going to Spirit Hall, I also looked into clues and information about Mother."

"What?"

Tang Hao quickly understood why Spirit Hall had driven Xiao San out.

It was because Tang San had kept investigating matters related to his mother, Ah Yin!

"No! This time, being expelled from Spirit Hall was merely the fuse. The most important reason was that you kept investigating your mother's affairs, and they took this chance to drive you out."

"They were also using it to warn me! Spirit Hall has begun sending me threats through you!"

"Looks like the people of Spirit Hall still refuse to let Xiao San and me go!"

"Don't worry. If they insist on making a move against you, I'll do everything in my power to protect you, my son!"

Tang San began preparing dinner for Tang Hao, just as he had in the past.

Everything seemed to have returned to how it had been at the very beginning. Nothing had changed.

The next day, outside Shrek Academy.

Tang Hao had Tang San go into Shrek Academy first. If those academy students looked down on Tang San, he planned to step in and beat them until they submitted!

At the entrance to Shrek Academy, Tang San called out that he wanted to see Headmaster Flender about something.

"Headmaster, I'm back! Headmaster Flender, I want to join Shrek Academy today!"

The voice swiftly reached Flender's ears.

After Yu Xiaogang left Yang Feng, he did not care in the slightest and instead began paying attention to the others in the group, staring at them.

Flender looked at Tang San, who had previously provoked his academy, and was extremely angry inside.

However, given his status as headmaster, he could not kick someone while he was down.

So, he agreed to let Tang San temporarily join the academy as a student.

Flender felt that something was off about Tang San today. It was as though he had found a new backer behind him and had yet to reveal his trump card.

He could only agree for now, not daring to act rashly or do anything excessive.

"How could a Spirit Hall student join our Shrek Academy?"

"After all, our academy's resources truly can't compare to the help Spirit Hall can provide. Coming to Shrek Academy would only delay your development."

Flender intended to exchange a few pleasantries first, lowering Tang San's guard so that he would reveal his true purpose for coming here.

Tang San understood the implication in Flender's words and spoke bluntly.

"Ever since Shrek Academy deliberately lost to me last time, Spirit Hall expelled me. I'm no longer a student there."

"I want to join Shrek Academy now. Could you let bygones be bygones and agree to my request?"

"What? Tang San wants to join Shrek Academy!" A faint sense of unease arose in Xiao Wu's heart.

Xiao Wu suddenly recalled the contents of the diary in her mind. In the future, she intended to avoid Tang San as much as possible and not have any unnecessary contact with him.

Xiao Wu leaned against Yang Feng's shoulder, seeking a sense of security.

"Yang! Whenever I see that blue-haired guy, I feel unsafe! You have to protect me more from now on!"

Yang Feng looked at Xiao Wu indulgently. "Wu, don't worry! If anyone wants to kill you, even if I can't beat them—"

"I'll make them step over my corpse before they can hurt you."

As he said this, Yang Feng was somewhat unable to keep himself together, but those words were indeed commonly used on Xiao Wu.

"What nonsense are you talking about, Yang? We'll always be together."

Because those were all lines Tang San had said in the original story!

When the people in the academy saw Tang San return to Shrek Academy, they looked at him strangely.

"Hello, everyone! We can still get along for now, right?"

"Before, I took some detours in life and did some inappropriate things in Spirit Hall. I hope you can let bygones be bygones!"

Although Tang San said this, no matter how unwilling the surrounding students were, they still put on a welcoming appearance.

The academy students welcomed Tang San because his father had come to the academy with him.

If they still treated him as they had before, who knew whether Spirit Hall would dare to raze Shrek Academy to the ground.

After all, his father Tang Hao truly had the ability to reduce Shrek Academy to ashes.

Tang Hao's figure appeared behind Tang San.

"I'm sorry about what happened with Spirit Hall before!" Tang Hao bent deeply at the waist and bowed to the academy headmaster.

That also completely settled what had happened before.

"Where is the person in your academy called Yang Feng?" A strange change suddenly appeared on Tang Hao's formerly calm face.

No one could discern the emotional changes in his heart from his face. He looked utterly grim.

Yang Feng let out a breath and slowly stepped forward.

"I'm Yang Feng from the academy. May I ask what you need from me?"

Tang Hao looked at Yang Feng with some agitation. "You were the one who defeated my son when he was being arrogant and complacent some time ago."

"That caused Xiao San to be expelled from that place, Spirit Hall. What do you have to say about that?"

Yang Feng nodded, ready at any moment to summon his Martial Soul and block Tang Hao's Clear Sky Hammer.

To his surprise, Tang Hao merely gave Yang Feng an emotional hug the next moment.

"Thank you so much! You helped bring our Xiao San back from the wrong path."

"If you ever need help in the future, I can—"

"Of course, if Xiao San gives you trouble, I'll help teach him a lesson. No, I'll properly educate my son."

Tang Hao smiled as he watched Tang San successfully join Shrek Academy, then finally left with peace of mind.
