"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with those celestial medicines?"
Yu Xiaogang was startled, and everyone else tensed up as well.
Although they had only spent a few days together, they all roughly understood the character of this Grandmaster and knew that he would never speak without reason.
Since that's the case, there must be a reason, and the problem most likely lies with those rare and precious medicinal herbs.
"What's wrong? Heh..."
With a cold laugh, Wang Hao said, "The reason those precious medicines are called celestial grade is because they have absorbed some God Level energy."
In ancient times, two of the Nine Great Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan, the ice and the fire dragon kings, perished, and their bodies merged together to form the treasure land of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Many powerful beings have their eyes on that treasure land.
So all the precious medicines there have owners. Your medicines are ill-gotten; you stole them while their owners were away, and now you're openly using them. You're truly courting death."
Wang Hao was furious just thinking about it. He had painstakingly awakened the intelligence of those precious medicinal herbs, and they were almost ready to be fully developed, but in the end, they were all wiped out.
He roughly understood what was going on; it must be that Tang San had the bloodline of that spendthrift woman Ah Yin, which caused Ah Yin to instinctively release the array's restrictions.
Otherwise, with the powerful array he set up around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, even gods from the Divine Realm wouldn't be able to break it, let alone the native creatures of the Douluo Continent.
Just thinking about this made Wang Hao want to hang up Ah Yin, that spendthrift woman, and give her a good beating.
"Hmph! That's alarmist talk. I've already crushed that vicious weed. Let's see who dares to cause trouble now."
With a cold snort, Tang Hao's face showed disdain.
He admitted that the venomous plant from back then was very powerful, but it was already dead, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Ignorance!"
Wang Hao uttered a two-word evaluation indifferently, and before Tang Hao could get angry, he sneered, "You don't actually think that the appearance of that Nineleaf Sword Grass was just a coincidence, do you?"
"The waters of our Douluo Star run deep! And what's so great about taking advantage of someone who's on the verge of death, a powerful being who's seriously injured?"
He doesn't mind using deception to solve problems, and he'd rather deceive everyone completely.
"What do you mean?"
Tang Hao frowned, a sense of unease creeping into his heart. He immediately questioned Wang Hao, his tone even carrying a hint of murderous intent.
After all, it concerns his own son, so he can't afford to be careless.
"Tang Kid Hao, you brat, I've put up with you for far too long!"
"As the saying goes, things shouldn't happen more than three times. Since that day at the Shrek Academy gate, this is the third time you've shown murderous intent towards Grandmaster. Do you really think we're made of clay?"
The Demon Subduing Douluo brothers were enraged and summoned their Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul again, wanting to fight Tang Hao.
Before they came out, they were repeatedly instructed to protect the Grandmaster, but now they were being threatened repeatedly by a junior like Tang Hao. How could they tolerate this?
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger. His Majesty Tang Hao is only concerned for his son. I hope the three Your Majesties can understand!"
Flender and the others quickly stepped in to mediate, bracing themselves against the escalating tensions between the two sides.
There was no way around it; both sides were big shots. Once a real fight broke out, he didn't know if the other side would be alright, but his Shrek Academy would definitely be razed to the ground.
Therefore, he is the one who least wants the two sides to go to war.
Tang Hao took a deep look at Wang Hao, who was wearing a mask and completely covered up, and knew that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he withdrew his killing intent.
However, he kept this matter in mind and began investigating it later.
" Grandmaster, I apologize for our Buzhou hospitality."
Flender, relieved, apologized to Wang Hao again, acknowledging that they were indeed in the wrong.
They've always been very considerate since they arrived at the Shrek Academy, but Tang Hao on their side has repeatedly shown murderous intent towards them, which is indeed very Earthly Dao.
"It's alright!"
Waving his hand to indicate that he didn't take it to heart, Wang Hao looked at Hu Liena and Tang San, who were walking back slowly, and smiled, "Finished fighting? Any gains?"
"His eye-training technique is indeed unique, and his footwork is also very interesting. However, I have already Insight its secrets. Give me some time, and I can integrate it into my Body Refinement."
Hu Liena obediently walked back behind Wang Hao, a smile on her face, clearly having gained quite a bit.
Tang San scoffed at Hu Liena's words. The Purple Demon Eye and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track were the highest-level techniques of their Tang Sect. He acknowledged that Hu Liena's mental cultivation was not weak, but that was all.
To think that one could Insight the secrets of the Purple Demon Eye and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track with just one battle is nothing short of a pipe dream.
Hu Liena noticed the disdain on Wang Hao's face, but she remained silent and didn't bother to explain.
How could a mere Tang San possibly fathom her true strength? In fact, if it weren't for her desire to Insight the mysteries of the Purple Demon Eye and the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, she could have ended the battle in an instant.
After all, Tang San's current strength was insufficient to withstand the illusion techniques she unleashed at full power.
"It's good that we've learned something!"
Wang Hao was quite satisfied with Hu Liena, especially after he had trained her, she was perfect in every way.
Glancing at the blood trickling from the corners of Flender and the others' mouths, Wang Hao asked in confusion, "Do you have any old injuries?"
Although Flender and his group of four forcefully intervened in the aura eruption between Tang Hao and the Demon Subduing Douluo, they would have been under considerable pressure, but given the opponent's cultivation level as a Soul Douluo, there's no reason for them to be injured!
Then there can only be one explanation!
The opponents all had old injuries, which were aggravated by the pressure from the previous aura.
"Your Majesty, the three of us recently had a misunderstanding with Poison Douluo because of Xiao San mistress, and we were poisoned by him. However, the poison has been removed since then, and we only have some internal injuries that have not yet fully healed."
"A few years ago, I took the Little Monster to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Ring. Unexpectedly, the Titan Giant Ape, the Soul Beast in the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, rushed out. In order to buy time for the Little Monster to escape, I fought the Titan Giant Ape head-on."
Flender and Zhao Wuji did not hide anything from each other, explaining the origin of their injuries, and even showing a hint of pride on their faces.
For a teacher, to be injured while protecting their students is an honor, even at the cost of death.
"Is this how you raise your son?"
With a slight frown, Wang Hao looked coldly at Tang Hao and his son Tang San.
How I raise my son is none of your business.
Already feeling annoyed, Tang Hao immediately retorted.
"I remember there are some inferior precious herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that are very effective in healing internal injuries. Since you stole all the precious herbs, why didn't you share one with your teachers to help them heal?"
You must understand that they were all injured for you. If these hidden internal injuries are not healed as soon as possible, they will never have a chance to become Titled Douluo.
Or rather, you only acknowledge Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang as your teacher, and you don't recognize anyone else?"
Too lazy to pay attention to Tang Hao, Wang Hao turned his gaze to Tang San, and his evaluation of this so-called protagonist of destiny dropped a notch.
He knew all the precious medicines in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well like the back of his hand. Some of these medicines were simply incapable of developing sentience, and it was better for people to take them. Among these medicines, there were quite a few that could heal the injuries of Flender and the other three.
After hearing Wang Hao's words, Flender, Liu Erlong, and Zhao Wuji glanced at Tang San, their expressions turning somber.
They all knew that Tang San had acquired many precious medicinal herbs, and that he had given them away to many people, including a celestial-grade medicinal herb to Yu Xiaogang Tang San.
Although as a teacher, one should not expect anything in return from students and disciples, such differential treatment inevitably leaves one feeling somewhat disappointed and disheartened.
Faced with Wang Hao's questioning, Tang San, who was usually calm and composed, felt flustered for the first time and dared not look at Flender and the other two.
"Those precious medicines are only truly effective when taken by younger children. Even if older people like us take them, they won't have much effect. So they should be left for the younger generation."
Seeing his son's predicament, Tang Hao immediately stepped in to help him out, while his gaze towards Wang Hao became even more hostile.
In his view, this person was saying this to sow discord, and such a malicious person was truly hateful.
"This is the main reason why I am unwilling to deal with aristocratic families, clans, and imperial nobles. They often use profit as the standard of measurement, but it is wrong to measure things in this way."
Shaking his head slightly, Wang Hao looked at Tang San again and said earnestly, " Tang San, as an elder, I want to teach you a lesson today."
We cultivators cultivate our true selves and original hearts. We shouldn't be too calculating in everything, because that will cloud our true nature and make it difficult to reach the true peak.
This time, Tang Hao did not refute Wang Hao's words. Instead, he seemed thoughtful, and the hostility in his eyes subsided.
"Senior, do you... know my mother?"
Tang San glanced back and forth between his father and Wang Hao, then asked in confusion.
He could sense that the mysterious Grandmaster from the Spirit Hall meant well, but what puzzled him even more was the way the Grandmaster looked at him—as if he were a junior.
It's quite obvious that the other person might be related to my parents, but judging from the way they interact with my father, the two of them probably don't know each other. Therefore, the other person must know my mother.
"Your mother! We're acquaintances, aren't we?"
Thinking back to Ah Yin, that spendthrift woman, Wang Hao's feelings were quite complicated. He really wanted to hang that woman up and give her a good beating!
That woman was the most useless female protagonist he'd ever encountered in all the dungeon worlds he'd experienced!
However, this complicated tone made everyone present look strange. Flender and the others subconsciously looked up at the top of Tang Hao's head, as if they could see a green light.
"Hmph! Show some respect, my wife has nothing to do with you!"
Noticing the strange looks from everyone, Tang Hao's face darkened, and he immediately let out a cold snort, his gaze towards Wang Hao once again filled with hostility.
"Whether or not there's a relationship is not for you to decide. Besides, I knew the Xiao San's mother before you did!"
Wang Hao glanced sideways at Tang Hao; he had long been quite annoyed with him.
He had wanted to kill Ah Yin when Ah Yin was forced to his death by the Abyssal Sage King; such a useless man was just a waste of air.
If it weren't for that spendthrift woman Ah Yin protecting him last time, he would have already used the Nineleaf Sword Grass's body to annihilate it.
It would have been better if he hadn't said it; the moment he did, Flender and the others' expressions became even more bizarre. Tang San looked at his father, then at Wang Hao, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
He really couldn't get involved in the affairs of the previous generation, but it seemed that this mysterious Grandmaster from the Spirit Hall was one of his mother's former suitors.
Fortunately, he had the Clear Sky Hammer among his three Martial Soul, which was enough to prove that his mother was loyal to his father; otherwise, it would have been a major disaster.
This misunderstanding arose because Wang Hao hadn't paid attention to some trivial matters and didn't know that Tang San's mother was Tang Yuehua, not the spendthrift Ah Yin he thought she was.
But this is too much of a coincidence, considering that Ah Yin once transferred a large amount of her own power into Tang Yuehua's body, especially during her pregnancy when she transferred her own power through Tang Yuehua's body into Tang San's body, who was in the womb.
This gave Tang San a large amount of Ah Yin's original power, as well as information that Bibi Dong had shown him about Ah Yin's pregnancy. It was because of this that Wang Hao admitted his mistake.
Furthermore, in the original course of fate, Tang San was the son of that woman, Ah Yin.
A series of misunderstandings combined led to Wang Hao making such a big blunder.
