Brother San, the Essence of Humanity's Unwarranted Confidence

Sure enough, Bai Yu glanced at the Gatekeeper, then said to Boss Xiao with a half-smile:

"Boss Xiao, isn't it a bit of a waste of time for people like us to argue with a minion like this?"

Boss Xiao nodded in deep agreement and waved to his henchmen beside him.

"True enough. You two, deal with him. If I still see this guy guarding the gate tomorrow, you can both get lost!"

The two henchmen nodded frantically. Upon hearing this, the Gatekeeper's face went pale, and he hurriedly begged:

"Boss Xiao, Young Masters, I have elderly parents above me and children below me. I only earn enough to get by from guarding the academy gate. You can't be so heartless!"

Bai Yu laughed. He had even gone to Boss Xiao to plead for mercy? He deserved it!

Bai Yu was not a petty person. He and Boss Xiao could chat now and then. If the Gatekeeper had been a little more polite back then, Bai Yu might even have put in a word with Boss Xiao and asked City Lord Xiao to give him a promotion.

Yet now that he was pleading and claiming his family was struggling, Bai Yu could not help but laugh.

If his family was struggling, he should have known to keep his head down. Instead, he had looked down on Old Jack because of his shabby clothes. Did he not deserve retribution?

Bai Yu only bullied the tough, never the weak!

Seeing that Bai Yu remained unmoved, Boss Xiao ignored the Gatekeeper's pleas as well. He entered the academy with Bai Yu, and the two exchanged pleasantries along the way, as though they had been friends for years.

"By the way, Boss Xiao, about our fight last time..."

"Hey, are you worried I hold a grudge? My heart may not be big, but it's not that small. Besides, I'm about to graduate. I stopped caring long ago about being the boss or not."

Bai Yu smiled faintly.

"True. Being the boss is nothing but an empty title. Look at our Seventh Dormitory—we have a guy named Tang San. He's that blue-haired fellow who farted last time. He isn't the boss of the Seventh Dormitory, but he farts every day, and there's nothing we can do about him!"

Bai Yu deliberately sighed. Boss Xiao frowned upon hearing that.

"Farts? That's disgusting. Why haven't you thrown him out?"

Bai Yu gave a bitter smile.

"It's fine if you usually ignore him, but the moment you have a conflict with him, one fart from him can stink up the entire dormitory. How are you supposed to throw him out?"

Boss Xiao was dumbfounded.

What kind of Fart King was that?

He patted Bai Yu on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, brother. I get what you mean. From now on, I'll have people go cause trouble for him every day. I'll make sure he gets beaten so badly that he won't dare let out a single fart!"

Bai Yu smiled faintly. I never said that. You did!

Tang San would have plenty to suffer through from now on. All Bai Yu had to do was revise the narration. With those three free chances every day, he could save up at least 3 Points a day. In ten days, that would be 30 Points; in a hundred days, 300 Points.

After chatting for a while longer, Bai Yu parted ways with Boss Xiao and returned to the Seventh Dormitory. He happened to run into Tang San walking over with a gloomy face, and Bai Yu promptly put on a concerned expression.

"Little San, what happened?"

Under the passive effect of the Human Emperor Banner, Tang San immediately began pouring out his troubles to Bai Yu.

"Sigh, Xiao Yu, my teacher has disappeared. I just went to see the Dean, hoping he could help me find my teacher, but the Dean said there was nothing he could do."

As he spoke, Tang San clenched his fists and said in a low voice:

"The Dean has been my teacher's friend for many years. He must have a way to find my teacher. He simply doesn't want to tell me!"

He has invited his own death!

Bai Yu patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Little San, relax. Maybe Master will be back soon?"

Tang San was left speechless.

Yu Xiaogang owed ten thousand Gold Soul Coins. Could he repay them?

Based on Tang San's understanding of Yu Xiaogang, he probably could not.

Then could he even come back? Hopefully, he had not fled the country!

Tang San said sullenly:

"But I need to Hunt for a Soul Ring too. If my teacher doesn't return, I don't know how long I'll have to wait."

Bai Yu's eyes shifted, and he adopted a solemn tone.

"Little San! You need to pull yourself together. Maybe Master is deliberately using this opportunity to test your character? The Dean has been Master's friend for many years. Perhaps Master asked him to secretly observe you? Wait patiently, and the clouds will eventually part!"

Tang San stared blankly at Bai Yu. That made so much sense!

Right. Teacher may simply be testing my character, seeing whether I can wait patiently. What are ten thousand Gold Soul Coins to Teacher? I can't lose faith in him over this.

"Xiao Yu, thank you!"

At that moment, several sixth-year Senior Students passed by. They suddenly changed direction and walked straight toward Tang San.

"Well, if it isn't Tang San Pao? I heard your teacher is called Luo San Pao. Doesn't that make you Tang San Pao?"

"That day, you farted and stank up Liu Xuan, then Liu Xuan beat you badly. Do you still dare fart now?"

Tang San looked at them coldly and asked:

"You're Boss Xiao's people? You lost that day, and now you want to stir up trouble again?"

"Hahaha, lost? Even if we lost, we didn't lose to you. We just can't stand you, you Fart King. If you've got the guts, fight us again!"

"Yeah, fight us! One-on-one, and Bai Yu can't step in!"

Tang San looked at Bai Yu. Bai Yu nodded at him, signaling for him to rest easy.

Although Tang San's unwarranted confidence was beyond what ordinary people could match, Bai Yu still had to occasionally let him taste a little sweetness and give him a small win.

Everyone who ran a gambling house knew that you could not let your customers keep losing. You had to let them make a little money every now and then, or they would all leave, and the gambling house could not stay open.

And with Tang San's logic, as long as he won a few small rounds, he could use his own Ah Q spirit to turn himself into Qin Shi Huang touching an electric gate and feel like he had won big.

Having received Bai Yu's support, Tang San immediately looked at his opponents.

"Come on. Which one of you is first?"

One boy stepped forward and was about to introduce himself, but Tang San said coldly:

"No need. I can't be bothered to listen!"

With that, Tang San charged at his opponent without even summoning the Clear Sky Dog.

His opponent flew into a rage.

"Fine, fine, fine! You won't even use your spirit? I'll beat you to death today!"

As he spoke, he summoned his Beast Spirit, which appeared to be a horse.

However, just as the horse appeared and raised its head to neigh, Tang San suddenly flicked out two pebbles. One struck his opponent in the lower abdomen, while the other hit his knee. His opponent screamed and dropped to one knee from the pain.

Tang San took the opportunity to rush in. With a flying knee, he drove upward into his opponent's face, sending him flying before he crashed to the ground unconscious.

That felt good!

Tang San rose to his feet. Though his expression remained calm and detached, he kept shouting in his heart, So good, so good, so good, so good!

The others flew into a rage.

"Tang San! How could you be so vicious? Aren't you worried about disfiguring him?!"

Tang San looked at them disdainfully. When you came looking for trouble last time, you had already invited your own deaths in my eyes. And now you still dare cause trouble? Then you deserve to be beaten senseless by me!

Disfigured? Can that compare to the face I lost?

The thought of the humiliation he had suffered before made Tang San even angrier. He roared:

"You lot, come at me together!"

The group opposite exchanged looks, all of them enraged by Tang San's arrogance. They actually attacked him together!

Tang San used the same old method. He struck first with Hidden Weapons, robbing them of their ability to move, then swiftly sent every one of them flying.

"Humph!"

Tang San rubbed his nose, his face full of smug satisfaction.

I knew it. I was just not in good shape before. Otherwise, I would have dealt with Boss Xiao and the rest of them all at once!

"You pieces of trash dare contend with me, Tang San? I, Tang San, am a genius seen once in a century. Being classmates with me is your honor, yet you failed to recognize greatness and have invited your own deaths!"

Bai Yu watched from a distance and suddenly fell silent.

Right. With how shameless Tang San is, would he even fear this kind of blow?

I was worried he would not be able to handle the setbacks, give up on himself, and stop cultivating, which would affect my ability to push the plot forward. Was I overthinking it?

Just then, Boss Xiao hurried over.
