He really wanted to go out right now and say goodbye to Xiao Wu.
But he was also afraid that Xiao Wu would look at him with strange eyes.
In the end, he gave up anyway.
He didn't want to see that kind of look in Xiao Wu's eyes.
He would just have to become stronger in the future and appear before Xiao Wu in the posture of a strong person, which might perhaps change the image he held in Xiao Wu's heart.
Tang San packed his things and arrived at the academy gates.
Yu Xiaogang was already there waiting.
"Let's go, Little San."
"The Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy is too small after all, and it cannot hold geniuses like us. Let's find another place; we'll definitely be able to make a name for ourselves across the continent in the future."
Tang San's mouth twitched. No, how could Gangzi even say something like that with a straight face?
Tang San considered himself a genius, which was true, but for Yu Xiaogang to also classify himself as a genius, wasn't that just a bit too shameless?
Reaching rank twenty-nine at fifty years old, did he even have the face to call himself a genius?
The two of them walked toward the city gates.
As a result, when passing by an ironmongery, Tang San suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Wait, Teacher, why are we taking this route?!"
He had been lost in thought just now and hadn't even noticed, only to be led right here by Yu Xiaogang.
If not for the fact that Yu Xiaogang was currently crippled just like him, he would have suspected that Yu Xiaogang was in cahoots with someone and plotting to harm him.
Yu Xiaogang looked blank and bewildered: "What's wrong? Little San, is there something wrong with this road?"
"This road is the closest path out of the city."
Without even waiting for Tang San to explain.
A sudden roar made Yu Xiaogang understand.
"Stop right there, you two bastards! How dare you run into my territory!"
Tang San didn't say a second word and simply bolted.
"Little San, why didn't you say so earlier!" Seeing the Blacksmith Shop Owner chasing after him while brandishing a heavy hammer, Yu Xiaogang's face turned white with fright.
Tang San couldn't care about all that now. He urged anxiously, "Teacher, stop talking nonsense, run!"
"Little San, wait for me! I still have an injury on my waist, I can't run fast!" After running for a short while, Yu Xiaogang was already completely out of breath.
Without looking back, Tang San shouted, "Teacher, hurry up! If you get caught, I won't be able to save you."
Yu Xiaogang glanced behind him, gritted his teeth, and quickened his pace.
Even with his injuries, he couldn't afford to stop now.
On the street, one small figure and one large figure ran in front.
Behind them, the Blacksmith Shop Owner led several employees in hot pursuit.
"Hey, Su Mo, is that Tang San? What's wrong with them? Why are people chasing them?" Xiao Wu asked vaguely with her mouth stuffed full of tanghulu.
Su Mo looked at Tang San's retreating back: "What else could it be? It's definitely because of that peeping at bathing business."
With a look of utter disgust, Xiao Wu said, "That guy totally brought this on himself."
"Alright, he's been expelled anyway, so we probably won't see him around anymore." Su Mo rubbed Xiao Wu's round head.
Of course, not necessarily.
Who knew, maybe after this incident, Yu Xiaogang would directly take Tang San to Shrek Academy?
Speaking of which, Su Mo was also hesitating about whether or not to go to Shrek later on.
He genuinely wanted to go and see if Zhu Zhuqing was really that well-endowed.
Well, he had to go.
He couldn't just skip it just because Tang San was there, right?
Wouldn't that imply that he was afraid of Tang San?
Besides, going there didn't necessarily mean he had to join Shrek.
Given the special nature of his martial soul, there wasn't really anything he needed to learn anyway.
He could even skip going to school entirely and it wouldn't be a problem.
However, the original work had so many beauties; if he didn't go check them out, wouldn't it mean he had transmigrated for nothing?
Fine, Su Mo admitted it-he just had his eyes on those fine bodies.
"Su Mo, try this. It's super delicious, and eating it doesn't give you acid reflux."
Xiao Wu stuffed a baozi into her mouth and then handed another one to Su Mo.
Su Mo took the baozi, took a bite, and honestly, it really was quite delicious.
In the end, the Blacksmith Shop Owner still failed to catch up to Tang San and the others.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang didn't stop running the entire way.
They only breathed a sigh of relief once they were out of the city.
Leaning against a tree, Yu Xiaogang panted heavily from exhaustion: "Little San, I feel like the feng shui of this Nuoding City isn't very good. Let's find another place instead..."
Tang San fell into deep thought. He actually felt that Yu Xiaogang's words made a lot of sense.
Anyway, he just felt that his luck had been exceptionally bad lately.
His gaze swept over Yu Xiaogang without leaving a trace; he just didn't know if it was Yu Xiaogang's problem or Nuoding City's problem.
"Teacher, I'd like to return to Holy Soul Village first."
Tang San felt rather depressed inside. Returning this way, he didn't even know how to explain things to his old man.
Should he say that he got expelled for peeping at someone bathing?
Even though his old man was a drunkard who generally didn't care about anything, he was still afraid that Tang Hao might fly into a rage and break his legs.
Even so, he still had to go back.
That place was, after all, his home.
Yu Xiaogang nodded: "No problem, Teacher will accompany you."
He also wanted to see if he could enlist Tang Hao's help to find a better place to settle.
Yu Xiaogang hadn't even considered how he was going to explain why Tang San had ended up getting expelled while following him.
Tang San looked back at Nuoding City and couldn't help feeling somewhat desolate.
He had finally entered the academy, and finally met a girl he liked.
Yet starting from today, everything had changed.
"Let's go, stop thinking about it. Trust Teacher, I will definitely cultivate you into the most powerful Soul Master in the entire continent."
Yu Xiaogang was very confident in himself; a genius like Tang San could only become the strongest under his guidance.
He, Yu Xiaogang, swore that he would definitely train someone into a god.
Meanwhile, Tang Hao walked into Nuoding City covered in injuries.
He had just wanted to find a place to rest for a bit.
As a result, he overheard people discussing something on the street.
"Hey, did you guys hear?"
"About what?"
"The thing at the Nuoding Junior Soul Master Academy, you guys don't know about such a huge commotion?"
"What happened? Spill the details!"
Nearby, Tang Hao came to a halt.
Wasn't his own son in that very academy?
He was also quite curious as to what on earth had happened.
"What else could it happen? It's just that some student peeked at someone taking a bath and got cornered at the academy gates by the victim's family, demanding that the student marry his daughter in the future."
"Oh, isn't that pretty good? They're even making the other party marry his daughter, so that student isn't getting the short end of the stick, right?"
"Pfft, what do you know? You know the East City Blacksmith Shop, right? Have you ever seen the blacksmith shop owner's daughter?"
"Uh... you don't mean..."
"That's right."
"Well, if it's the blacksmith's daughter, that student really has a unique taste."
"Your info is completely outdated. The latest news is that that student and his teacher went together to peek at someone bathing."
"Now they've both been expelled from the academy."
"What the fuck, really? Does anyone know what that student and teacher are called?"
"Seems like one is called Tang San, and what's-his-name, Yu Xiaogang?"
Hearing this sentence, Tang Hao's entire mind went blank.
He grabbed a passerby and asked, "Wait, what did you just say? What's that student's name?"
The person was startled and, seeing Tang Hao's fierce and murderous expression, stammered, "H-His name is Tang San."
Tang Hao was completely dumbfounded. Seeing that Tang Hao didn't react, the person hurriedly ran off.
Tang Hao found it hard to believe what he had just heard.
His own son got expelled because he peeked at someone bathing?!
No, he had only gone out for a bit, and his son got expelled?
