He held out his hand. "Hello, I'm Tang San. I came from Holy Soul Village to study at Notting Academy."
"My name is Su Bei, and this is my younger sister, Xiao Wu. We came to Notting Academy to have fun, but we didn't expect to run into that scumbag Yu Xiaogang." Su Bei spoke blandly.
Xiao Wu added, "Hmph, the kind of sister who can be together with him!"
For some reason, Xiao Wu always sensed an unpleasant aura coming from this boy, like Blue Silver Grass?
Su Bei was bursting with joy inside. The original female lead was flirting with the current male lead right in front of the original male lead. Was this even allowed?
"Haha."
Tang San gave an awkward smile. "No wonder you two seem so close."
I've been in this world for more than six years now, cooped up in Holy Soul Village, taking care of my depressed father and devoting myself to cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill. I still don't know much about the world outside.
That peerlessly handsome boy before me seems to know a great deal about these matters. It would be wonderful if I could become friends with him.
With that in mind, Tang San asked, "Did your mother have some grudge against the teacher? Can you tell me about it?"
"It's a long story."
Su Bei turned to Xiao Wu and coughed twice. "Xiao Wu, I'm a little thirsty. Could you get me a cup of water?"
Xiao Wu rose, carrying a faint fragrance with her as she left. "Then wait here, Brother."
Only then did Su Bei reveal Yu Xiaogang's dirty deeds to Tang San. If Xiao Wu were present, she would definitely become suspicious. He simply knew far too much!
Then Su Bei began exposing Yu Xiaogang's dark history:
"Yu Xiaogang was originally the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He and Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden were in love, but because he possessed a mutated Martial Soul—a useless Martial Soul—he would find it difficult to ever break through to the Soul Elder realm. A genius girl paired with a mediocrity; their love faced immense obstacles. Yet instead of overcoming those obstacles, he chose to leave."
"Later, he used the resources and knowledge he had accumulated over many years of study at Spirit Hall to compile theories, which he touted as his own Martial Soul core competitiveness. Some of those theories are true and some are false; they cannot be fully trusted, but neither can they be completely dismissed."
"But do you think he would give up everything for love?"
"If that were the case, I'd think a little more highly of him."
"In the end, he traveled the world and enjoyed the scenery. That was how he met my godmother and fell for her. They nearly reached the point of marrying, but then someone revealed that they were cousins. Such a matter harms the woman the most, yet that guy just ran away on his own!"
"You heard me right. He ran away again!"
"And you call such a coward your teacher."
Disdain gleamed in Su Bei's deep, starry eyes.
Seriously, if you're going to be a scumbag, at least do it thoroughly. Forget everything else and just take her. But instead, he left things hanging, ran away halfway through, and offended everyone involved. That was his problem.
Tang San stared in astonishment. "He's actually that kind of person?"
"If it were me, even if I died, I would never give up the one I loved."
Tang San's gaze was firm. At that moment, he already felt that the man called Grandmaster was no longer qualified to be his teacher. That was the pride of a Tang Sect genius.
Su Bei did not deny that. Tang San truly was devoted in matters of love, worthy of admiration.
But unfortunately, Xiao Wu is mine now. Go cool off somewhere else, or find someone else decent enough to settle for. You aren't even handsome, so don't even think about laying a hand on my goddesses. Otherwise, I'll destroy you!
Seeing Tang San's reaction, Su Bei nodded in satisfaction as his scheming thoughts began to rise and fill his mind.
To be honest, Yu Xiaogang's rise in the original story had relied entirely on Tang San. Since Liu Erlong had forcibly acknowledged him as her godson, he naturally had to save her from this disaster.
That meant cutting off Yu Xiaogang's path to survival.
Su Bei sat beside Tang San and patted his shoulder. "And do you think he helped you out just now out of kindness?"
"Wasn't it?"
Tang San caught the faint fragrance drifting from Su Bei's body. His face was only a few centimeters away from that intoxicatingly handsome face, and his cheeks instantly flushed red as an unfamiliar feeling rose within him.
He's even prettier than a girl!
"Naive!"
Su Bei did not notice Tang San's change and continued, "He heard the gatekeeper say that your Blue Silver Grass possessed Innate Full Soul Power, so he has other intentions toward you!"
"Blue Silver Grass is a useless Martial Soul, isn't it? Even with Innate Full Soul Power, it probably wouldn't be anything particularly remarkable."
Tang San pursed his lips and sighed. He clenched his left hand tightly. Fortunately, he had another Martial Soul, and judging from the anxious look on his father's face back then—
That little hammer definitely wasn't ordinary!
