At the thought of this.
Tang San could no longer remain so brazen. He suddenly felt somewhat nervous.
"What? You did something like that, and you still have the nerve to be angry?"
He pretended to maintain his composure.
But he began recounting what had happened at the time.
"Do you know that while you were helping Feng Yang do that, I was absorbing a Soul Ring? The moment I saw it, my Dao Heart was thrown into complete chaos!"
"Ah?!" Xiao Wu froze.
"Do you know how many years my third-year Soul Ring ended up being?" Tang San gritted his teeth resentfully, expressing his fury.
"H-how many years?" Xiao Wu asked guiltily.
"Only eight years!!"
Tang San roared in a low voice.
His face was filled with utter grief and sorrow!
Xiao Wu was truly dumbfounded now.
"E-eight years? Wouldn't that be a White Soul Ring?"
"That's right! It's all because of you!"
"."
Xiao Wu felt boundless guilt in her heart.
For a moment, she was overwhelmed with remorse as well.
"I'm sorry, Third Brother. I really..."
"You not only betrayed me physically, but mentally too. That caused my Third Soul Ring to be only eight years old. Do you think a simple apology is enough? Do you think that'll make me forgive you?"
Tang San continued applying pressure.
"T-then tell me, what can I do to make it up to you? What can make you feel a little better?" Xiao Wu asked timidly.
As though he had been waiting for those words for a long time.
Looking at the sweet and adorable Xiao Wu before him.
The corners of his lips could not help curling up with a hint of evil.
"Come eat it. That'll make me feel a little better."
Boom!
It was as though Xiao Wu had been struck by five bolts of lightning. She stood rooted to the spot, her eyes wide as she stared blankly at Tang San.
"Y-you... how can you do this?"
Her voice carried disbelief and a trace of sorrow.
Seeing Xiao Wu actually refuse him.
The contrast with how much she had enjoyed herself while serving Feng Yang back then was stark.
Tang San immediately felt a tremendous imbalance in his heart!
He lost his mind and furiously spat out.
"Xiao Wu, you bitch! You were willing to do it for Feng Yang, but not for me, is that it?"
Boom—!!
Xiao Wu's little head exploded once more!
She had never imagined that Tang San would curse at her like this.
He had actually shouted those three vicious words, "you bitch," straight at her.
She could not help crying in grievance, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face.
Her heart ached to the core!
She felt despair!
"Am I wrong?"
Seeing her like this only made Tang San angrier.
He remained aggressive and unrelenting.
"You acted like a slut in front of Feng Yang. Why are you pretending to be chaste in front of me?"
It had collapsed!
Completely collapsed!
Every vicious sentence stabbed fiercely into Xiao Wu's heart.
It hurt even more than the slaps Feng Yang had given her!
Xiao Wu!
Was completely despairing!
"Yes! Everything you said is right!"
She wiped away her tears, pretending to be strong.
She no longer wanted to explain herself.
She ran straight toward her room.
"."
It had indeed felt good to vent those words at Xiao Wu just now.
But when he watched Xiao Wu run away like that.
Tang San immediately felt miserable, his heart aching terribly.
Xiao Wu cried beneath her blankets the entire night.
Heartbroken beyond measure.
After all the years of feelings she had shared with Tang San.
She had never imagined Tang San was this kind of person.
He did not understand her at all.
It was one thing for Feng Yang to bully her, but even Tang San bullied her like that. Did they really think she was so cheap?
Fine!
The next day.
Though her eyes were red from crying, Xiao Wu appeared full of energy.
When she saw Feng Yang enter the cafeteria.
"Teacher Feng Yang."
She immediately went up to him.
Bouncing about like a cheerful little rabbit.
"You're here."
She took Feng Yang's hand on her own initiative.
"Teacher Feng Yang, please sit. What would you like to eat? I'll get it for you."
"."
"."
"."
This scene left Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and the others utterly dumbfounded.
Feng Yang was deeply surprised as well.
Tang San was here too. Was she being so proactive because the two of them had fought, and she was deliberately putting on a show?
"Mm, just get me whatever."
"Sure."
After responding.
He also glanced at Tang San.
At that moment.
Almost everyone turned to look at Tang San sitting there, as though by unspoken agreement.
Ma Hongjun could not figure it out either.
"Third Brother, Third Brother, what happened between you and Xiao Wu?" he asked at an inappropriate moment.
Tang San's face darkened.
His heart was in unbearable pain!
His mood was simply at rock bottom.
He could not be bothered to acknowledge him at all.
Dai Mubai promptly pulled Ma Hongjun over.
"Don't ask, Fatty."
"Exactly." Oscar chimed in. "Can't you tell they had a fight?"
Xiao Wu carried over an egg, several slices of vegetables, and a piece of bread, placing them in front of Feng Yang.
"Teacher Feng Yang, if you want anything else, just tell me."
"Alright."
"Then I'll massage your shoulders."
As she spoke.
She walked behind Feng Yang and gently kneaded his shoulders with her small hands.
Tang San gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in fury, filled with hatred yet utterly helpless.
However, Ning Rongrong could not stand it any longer.
"Xiao Wu, why are you suddenly trying so hard to please my master?"
"Teacher Feng Yang is your master, but he's my teacher too. What's wrong with showing him some respect?" Xiao Wu said seriously.
Ning Rongrong was rendered speechless by that.
Feng Yang saw through it but chose not to say anything.
When the snipe and clam fought, the fisherman profited.
Still, those little hands felt quite comfortable.
That slutty traitor!! Tang San could not help cursing inwardly.
"Teacher Feng Yang, are you done eating? Let me help you."
Xiao Wu, who had been massaging Feng Yang's shoulders from behind, saw him pick up a napkin to wipe his lips. She hurriedly reached out and took the napkin, then gently dabbed at the corners of Feng Yang's mouth with great care.
"."
"."
"."
This scene.
Made Oscar and Ma Hongjun incredibly envious.
Ma Hongjun in particular, seeing Xiao Wu being so bold, desperately wanted to go after her and see whether there might be a chance.
"Alright, everyone, spend forty minutes reading the Martial Soul and Soul Beast books, then get ready to go running," Feng Yang said.
Running had always been part of their training.
It was of no use for Soul Power.
But it was still very useful when it came to terrain and environments during long journeys.
Of course, that was another matter entirely if one could fly and had plenty of Soul Power.
Everyone picked up their books one after another.
Learning about some of the Martial Souls that had appeared and the known characteristics of Soul Beasts would at least give them some understanding if they encountered them in the future.
They read from seven twenty until eight o'clock.
Then everyone went out to run on time. They usually ran for two hours straight, until ten o'clock, though they could rest along the way.
