Tang San Kills Someone (Revised)

An anxious shout rang out. Xiao Wu looked up; Tang San and the others had arrived.

"Brother!" she called. Before long, the six from Shrek pushed through the crowd one after another and reached her. Seeing Xiao Wu sprawled on the ground, Tang San's heart ached. His brows knitted tightly. "Who was it? Who hurt you?"

Ning Rongrong stepped forward to help Xiao Wu up, paying no attention to Tang Yue standing before them. Only Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly at Tang Yue, no longer hearing anything Tang San and the others were saying.

"Xiao Yue..."

She murmured the name, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing.

Oscar, standing beside her, heard her words and looked at Tang Yue too. That single glance left him stunned. "Little San! It's Xiao Yue!"

Oscar's words instantly extinguished the raging flames that had just ignited in Tang San's heart. He raised his head in disbelief, meeting Tang Yue's beautiful eyes as she watched the spectacle with amusement.

Ever since Tang Yue had awakened the Heart of Goodness, her entire bearing had changed considerably. She always gave people a soothing feeling, as though they could find a little solace in her after a failure.

After her First Martial Soul changed, her right pupil had gradually turned pink, though it was difficult to notice without looking closely.

"X-Xiao Yue?!"

Tang San was stunned. Tang Yue, whom he had searched for so long, was actually in Heaven Dou City!

"Hmm, Xiao Yue'er, do you know them?"

Guang Ling folded his arms and stepped back behind Tang Yue. He was no fool. Even if that little rabbit had mistaken her for someone else earlier, what about now? Surely all seven of them couldn't have made the same mistake?

"I don't know them," Tang Yue said with a bright smile. Tang San and the others' expressions were truly spectacular. Still, she hadn't expected to run into them so soon. She had originally wanted to scare them a little later.

"You don't?" Guang Ling asked suspiciously. "But judging by their expressions, they seem to know you!"

"Xiao Yue, you're not dead! Thank goodness!"

Without another word, Tang San left Xiao Wu behind and strode toward Tang Yue. He wanted to embrace her, but Guang Ling reached out to stop him. "Where did you crawl out from, you little brat? You think you can just hug my little Yue?"

His voice was icy. Tang San felt a biting chill emanating from the man behind Tang Yue, and his brows furrowed tightly. This aura belonged to the person who had just hurt Xiao Wu!

His gaze turned cold. Tang San pulled the Godly Zhuge Crossbow from the Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night and fired at Guang Ling as fast as he could!

Guang Ling tilted his head and dodged. To him, that speed was beneath notice.

But with him out of the way, the onlookers behind him were doomed!

"Ah!"

The Restaurant Waiter was struck by a bolt and died on the spot!

"Ah! Murder! Murder!"

For a moment, the street became a crush of people as everyone fled in every direction.

"How could this happen?!"

Guang Ling whipped his head around, momentarily speechless. He had never imagined that such a tiny, slender bolt could kill someone outright!

"Tang San, what are you doing?!" Zhu Zhuqing roared. With so many civilians here, he had actually dared to use the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. Had he gone mad?!

Dai Mubai and the others hadn't expected Tang San to act so impulsively either, and they froze in shock. Though they usually talked as if they were mighty and noble, they were really only champions of big talk. When it came to actually killing someone, they still lacked the nerve.

"It's his fault!" Knowing Tang San had caused trouble, Xiao Wu hurriedly shifted the blame onto Guang Ling. She pointed at him. "It was him! He wanted to frame my brother!"

With things already at this point, Dai Mubai and the others could only follow Xiao Wu's lead. "That's right! It was him! He deliberately dodged Little San's hidden weapon to kill someone with a borrowed blade!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Guang Ling could only marvel at how shameless these little brats were.

If he, a Titled Douluo, wanted to kill someone, would he need to borrow another person's blade?

This was absurdity's mother opening the door for absurdity-it had truly come home.

Watching them frantically sling mud at Guang Ling, Zhu Zhuqing's heart turned to ashes. Ning Rongrong also found it somewhat hard to understand, but the Godly Zhuge Crossbow was a valuable asset to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If she could take this opportunity to protect Tang San, then ask him for its manufacturing method, that seemed like a decent choice too.

Tang San hadn't expected Guang Ling to dodge outright, causing the Godly Zhuge Crossbow to kill a civilian. Although he felt guilty, once he thought about how they had bullied Xiao Wu, he decided that waiter wasn't a good person either. He would count it as carrying out justice on Heaven's behalf!

"Xiao Yue, he's dangerous! Quick, come to your brother!" Seeing Tang Yue still beside Guang Ling, Tang San couldn't help worrying about this sister who had "returned from the dead." He reached toward her, his eyes fixed on Guang Ling. He knew he was no match for Guang Ling, but he had to take Tang Yue away!

Looking at Tang San, who radiated killing intent, Tang Yue couldn't help laughing softly. "I don't know you. Why should I go with you? Besides, you're nothing but a murderer!"

"Tang Yue!" Xiao Wu cried angrily. "My brother went without food or drink for a month because of you! How could you say that about him?!"

"Brother! She isn't Tang Yue! Tang Yue would never say something like that!"

The girl before him looked almost exactly like Tang Yue. Tang San would never believe she wasn't Tang Yue, but aside from her appearance, what else about her resembled his sister?

It seemed that apart from her looks, there was nothing.

"Xiao Yue'er, should we arrest them all and send them to prison? I've been sick of the sight of them for a while now."

Guang Ling communicated through voice transmission and sent out a carrier pigeon to notify the Spirit City Branch Hall in Heaven Dou City, asking them to come clean up this mess.

As for Tang San and the others, as long as Tang Yue agreed, he would tie them all up and throw them into prison for some reform.

"Grandpa Guang Ling, there's no need to bother with them. Justice lives in people's hearts. What we should do now is calm the civilians down first. Heaven Dou City is the central city of the Heaven Dou Empire, so someone will naturally come to hold the murderer accountable. Let's leave first."

Tang Yue didn't want to act against them directly yet. There were some things she wanted to confirm, and she still needed them alive.

"All right, since you want to let them off, we'll let them off." Guang Ling wasn't particularly interested in arguing with a bunch of juniors either. If he really started fighting, it would become a matter of him bullying children. Rather than complicating things further, he might as well let matters take their course. "Then shall we go, Xiao Yue'er?"

"Yes."

Tang Yue nodded, not sparing Tang San so much as a glance. Guang Ling spread his ice wings, scooped her into his arms, and the two flew out of Heaven Dou City.

Zhu Zhuqing watched Tang Yue's retreating figure. She had wanted to say something, but after glancing at Tang San and the others, she fell silent. Perhaps they didn't particularly care whether that person was Tang Yue after all.

In Tang San's eyes, Tang Yue had always been a timid, adorable little sister. The way she had behaved just now was indeed very different from the Tang Yue he remembered. Could she really not be Tang Yue?

Someone had died on the streets of Heaven Dou City, and the Soul Masters from the Spirit City Branch Hall soon arrived at the scene. To avoid further trouble, Dai Mubai and the others immediately took Tang San out of Heaven Dou City. Now that they had caused trouble there, Headmaster Flender would have to wipe their backsides for them.

"This is outrageous!"

After hearing Dai Mubai's account, Flender slammed the table and stood. Dai Mubai had embellished the facts considerably, causing Flender, who had always fiercely protected his own, to burst into curses. "A mighty Titled Douluo actually bullied a group of children like that! All his cultivation was wasted on him!"

"Exactly, Headmaster. But someone really did die in Heaven Dou City. According to the civilians present, Little San was the one who did it. Even if he didn't mean to kill that waiter, they still can't escape responsibility. What do you think we should do?"

Several days had passed since the incident, and Zhao Wuji had also gone to Heaven Dou City to look into it. Although he trusted his students unconditionally, the civilians wouldn't simply make things up either. This was very unfavorable for them.

"What was that Titled Douluo's background?" Flender asked with a frown. If possible, pinning the blame on another sect wasn't out of the question.

"They say..." Zhao Wuji hesitated.

"They say what? Spit it out!" Flender urged.

Zhao Wuji's expression looked grim. "They say he's from Spirit Hall!"

"What?!" Flender was stunned. He sucked in a cold breath and sank heavily into his chair. "How could he be from Spirit Hall..."

Spirit Hall was powerful. Even if they wanted to sling this mud at Spirit Hall, they might not be able to make it stick. Knowing there was nothing he could do, Flender could only give up.

For many days afterward, everyone at Shrek Academy hid away in the mountain gullies. Portraits of Tang San and Xiao Wu covered the streets of Heaven Dou City, so naturally, neither of them could go out again.

In the shadows, a grayish-brown figure had been observing everything all along. Seeing this final outcome, he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. "Spirit Hall, you and I cannot exist under the same sky!"
