A loving teacher and a filial disciple

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang lay sprawled on the ground, his head pressed tightly against the earth in a sultry pose.

Ye Fan decided he would call him Big Pervert Gang from now on.

As Tang San applied medicine to Yu Xiaogang, his heart brimmed with disgust.

He felt as though a demon was watching him constantly.

When he gazed into the abyss, the abyss gazed back at him.

He seemed to understand why physicians were so scarce.

If a Yu Xiaogang showed up at the clinic every day, even his Purple Demon Eye would go blind.

For the first time, he regretted secretly learning the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record...

He could see far too clearly!!!

Yu Xiaogang's face was utterly lackluster.

He kept comforting himself inwardly.

It's only natural for a disciple to look after his teacher. So what if he's seen everything? We're both men... No one else will ever know about this...

Only then did he breathe a little easier.

Once he relaxed, other parts of him relaxed too.

The sight made Tang San unleash another torrent of curses inwardly.

Just then, Ye Fan ran around to the front of Yu Xiaogang and crouched down, a smile playing on his lips.

With concern written all over his face, he advised him.

"Grandmaster, once you get back, don't sit around for too long. Remember to exercise more, eat less chili, and drink plenty of hot water."

Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened at those words.

It's not like I have hemorrhoids!!

Hmph.

Sure enough, even half a sentence is too much when talking to this kid with no eye for talent.

At the end of the day, it's all this fellow's fault that I'm in this state!

Yu Xiaogang simply turned his head aside and ignored Ye Fan.

Still, he had not come away entirely empty-handed.

As Yu Xiaogang recalled the scene from earlier, inspiration suddenly flooded his mind.

Sanpao's farts can actually be ignited by flames? And they're quite powerful, too.

Previously, Yu Xiaogang had only known how to make Sanpao's farts stink more. He had never known they had this hidden use.

Hmph, that kid did give me a little inspiration.

But how do I avoid this side effect?

Holding up the back of his clothes with two fingers, he felt his burning backside, and a wave of lingering fear washed over him.

If that spot kept getting burned, he could forget about using the toilet for the rest of his life.

He had to think of a safer way.

Heh, once I figure this move out, let's see who still dares look down on me!

Wouldn't this be a self-created soul skill?!

He put Ye Fan out of his mind entirely, completely forgetting that this move had only come about because of Ye Fan.

Of course, Ye Fan did not care in the slightest that Yu Xiaogang was stealing his technique.

If he cared, he would not have done it in the first place.

In the original story, Yu Xiaogang had developed a fusion for the Shrek Seven Monsters after seeing the Blue Sunshine Academy's Seven-in-One Fusion Skill just once.

Clearly, his brain still worked quite well.

But then again...

Once this thing was developed, whose it would ultimately become remained to be seen.

After finishing applying medicine to Yu Xiaogang, Tang San ran to the nearby river and washed his hands three times, washing his eyes along with them.

Ye Fan, meanwhile, scurried over to Tang San with a mischievous air to twist the knife some more, his face full of emotion.

"I really envy you, Tang San. You've managed to grow so close to your teacher so quickly.

"Applying medicine to each other-a loving teacher and a filial disciple... It's so touching to watch."

Tang San's expression darkened at those words.

As if this bastard would be touched. Let's see how you feel with that thing staring at you the whole time!

He did not take the bait and changed the subject instead.

"Ye Fan, have you two found suitable soul rings yet?"

Ye Fan spread his hands.

"Xiao Wu has already finished absorbing her soul ring.

"A rabbit was drawn to her while she was using the toilet, so she killed it while she was at it.

"But me... I wasn't so lucky. I spotted you two while looking for a soul ring, and you know how that turned out."

At Ye Fan's words, Xiao Wu's face instantly flushed red.

This bastard! Isn't that way too easy to misunderstand?!!!

What does he mean, a rabbit was drawn to me while I was using the toilet!?

How could he say it so casually...

She kicked Ye Fan in the shin, making him grimace in pain.

This silly rabbit really is strong.

Xiao Wu huffed and turned her head away.

She did not want to bother with any of them.

Not one of them is any good!

What!?

Tang San was shocked by those words, and even Yu Xiaogang found them somewhat unbelievable.

But then disdain crept into his expression.

"Hmph, if she could kill it alone, it was presumably only a soul beast of around ten years. Absorbing a soul ring like that is simply a waste of her talent.

"If she had a good teacher guiding her, this would never have happened.

"Even if her first soul ring wasn't a good choice, there may still be a chance to turn things around later..."

Everyone clearly heard the mockery in Yu Xiaogang's tone.

He had all but named Ye Fan outright and accused him of leading his student astray.

His gaze settled on Xiao Wu with a hint of anticipation.

With Yu Xiaogang staring at her like that...

A wave of revulsion rose in Xiao Wu's heart, and she hurriedly ducked behind Ye Fan.

Seeing this, Ye Fan's inner voice rang out in Tang San's and Xiao Wu's minds at the same time.

*[Heh, is this Gangzi hoping to make Xiao Wu kowtow and acknowledge him as her father too?*

Too bad Xiao Wu didn't absorb some ten-year soul beast. How can he get so carried away with his own fantasies?

*Could it be... his backside is connected to his brain, and both got fried together?]*

"Pfft."

Hearing Ye Fan's thoughts, Xiao Wu let out an almost imperceptible laugh.

She agreed!

Tang San, however, frowned.

What nonsense is Yu Xiaogang spouting?

Xiao Wu hasn't even said anything, yet he has such a nasty idea, assuming she absorbed a ten-year soul ring?

I could stomp ten stalks of ten-year Blue Silver Grass to death with one foot!

Damn it, why on earth did I take this fellow as my teacher?!

The injunction to respect one's teacher and honor his teachings weighed heavily on Tang San's conscience, preventing him from immediately stepping forward to defend Xiao Wu's dignity...

Even if he wants to take her as a disciple, he can't talk about Xiao Wu so carelessly.

"Xiao Wu, this Grandmaster says you absorbed a ten-year soul beast. Aren't you going to argue?"

Ye Fan looked as though he was enjoying the show.

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes.

She had no liking for this Yu Xiaogang either.

She certainly did not want to share a teacher with that Tang San.

What if she ended up being targeted again?

"The soul ring is on me. What's it got to do with him? He can think whatever he likes.

"If he has time to wonder what kind of soul ring I have, he'd be better off changing his pants."

With her hands on her hips, Xiao Wu stuck her tongue out at Yu Xiaogang, paying no attention to his doubts.

"You!"

At the sight of Xiao Wu behaving like this, Yu Xiaogang's cheeks twitched twice more.

Another one with no eye for talent!

Besides, who would bring an extra pair of pants all the way out here!?

Tang San could no longer bear watching and hurriedly stepped in front of Yu Xiaogang.

"Teacher, since they don't want to tell us, we shouldn't pry into their private affairs."

His words seemed to preserve Yu Xiaogang's dignity, but in truth, they reminded him that this was Xiao Wu's choice.

Yu Xiaogang gave a soft huff, turned around, and leaned against the rock face to keep the soiled part hidden.

His gaze rapidly swept through the woods, searching for something that could conceal his disgrace.

Just then, Ye Fan turned to look at Xiao Wu.
