Douluo Continent: Invincible Since Being Forced into Marriage by a Goddess

He had clearly hidden far away in a remote place, yet somehow, she had still found him.

"Don't flatter yourself. I didn't come looking for you. If my children hadn't insisted on visiting Notting Academy, I never would have come here."

Liu Erlong's face was cold. For some reason, the more she saw this man she had once deeply loved refusing to face the feelings between them, the more disgusted she felt by him.

Yu Xiaogang was left speechless, unable to retort after Liu Erlong's rebuke.

Then, with a bitter expression, he said, "You... you even have children?"

Liu Erlong snorted. "These are my two children, Little Bei and Xiao Wu. Aren't they good-looking? Besides, don't you have a child too?"

Liu Erlong glanced at Tang San and thought to herself, Hmph, not as handsome as my son.

Su Bei was even more eager to stir up trouble. "With how weathered you look, even if someone stayed with you for a lifetime, they couldn't possibly have children as good-looking as Xiao Wu and me, could they? Mama Erlong, let's ignore this scumbag and go!"

Su Bei took Liu Erlong's hand and made as if to leave.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened with anger. This boy looked exceptionally spirited—how could he be so rude?

"You're just a child. What do you know? Stop talking nonsense," Yu Xiaogang said.

Su Bei pointed at Yu Xiaogang and said aggrievedly, "See? See? I hit the mark, and now he's getting worked up."

"How am I worked up? Where am I worked up? How am I a scumbag? My feelings are deeper than the stars, purer than the white moonlight!"

And that wasn't being worked up?

He'd been exposed, hadn't he?

Couldn't keep up the pretense anymore, could he?

Liu Erlong shouted, "Yu Xiaogang! You dare yell at my Little Bei? If Little Bei so much as gets a scrape, it breaks my heart. And you dare scold him!!!"

Yu Xiaogang said, "Erlong... you've changed... You used to be so gentle with me..."

Liu Erlong replied, "I'm only seeing you clearly now!"

"Xiao Wu, let them settle their own affairs. Let's sit over here."

"Come on, Big Brother, have another candied hawthorn skewer."

Su Bei and Xiao Wu sat on the chairs in the hall. In any case, Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang would most likely fall out.

Tang San, meanwhile, quietly stood by the door and waited.

Xiao Wu held the candied hawthorn skewer out in front of Su Bei and said with concern, "Big Brother, be careful when you bite it off. Don't let the wooden stick poke you~"

"Mm~"

Su Bei held it in his mouth. His little mouth could not fit it all at once, puffing out his cheeks and making him look utterly adorable.

Xiao Wu's face blossomed into a smile as she held out her palm. "Big Brother, if you can't keep it down, spit it out. I'll catch it."

Tang San thought, These two children are so close. If they weren't so young and didn't look like siblings, they'd seem more like childhood sweethearts.

That boy looks like the reincarnation of a celestial god of literature and martial arts. Even I, a man, can't help wanting to get close to him.

I never imagined there could be someone so beautiful in this world.

Tang San had already secretly glanced at Su Bei several times. Yet the more he looked, the more drawn in he became, until he unknowingly sat down across from them.

Feeling the atmosphere was awkward, he looked toward Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, who were talking in the hall, and took the initiative to ask, "What is the relationship between your mother and my teacher?"

They looked like enemies, yet also like very good friends.

As a martial arts fanatic and a bachelor for decades, how could Tang San possibly understand such matters of love?

Su Bei chewed up the candied hawthorn, and a wave of sourness rose in his mouth, making him smack his lips. "Tsk, so sour."

Xiao Wu nodded. "The fruit inside really is sour."

Then Xiao Wu was the first to speak up brightly. "Who cares what their relationship is? Big Brother said that strange uncle isn't a good person!"

Tang San said awkwardly, "That can't be true. Teacher just helped me out. He doesn't seem like a bad person."

"You can know a person's face, but not their heart!"

Imitating Su Bei's tone, Xiao Wu said, "Don't you even understand that? This world is very dangerous!"

"Xiao Wu, hurry up and eat your candied hawthorn. Talk less."

"Okay~"

Su Bei then said mysteriously to Tang San, "You're still young, so you don't have the experience to understand. Yu Xiaogang is very calculating. You can't handle him. If you want to find a good teacher, as long as your talent is high enough, you can find one anywhere."

Hearing that, Tang San fell into thought. This handsome boy carried an indescribable sense of maturity and security that made Tang San want very much to befriend him.
