Meanwhile, within the Sky Screen, Qian Renxue asked curiously, "Tang Hao schemed against Ah Yin? How did he do that?"
"Since the book never directly depicted this part of the plot, these are all just readers' speculations." Jiang Yan first stacked some armor on himself.
Then he began, "They speculate that Tang Hao approached Ah Yin in the first place for that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."
"Otherwise, why did Spirit Hall's people happen to find them when Tang Hao was at level eighty-nine, just one level short? Didn't that give Ah Yin the perfect opportunity to sacrifice herself?"
"Besides, you saw earlier how Tang Hao treated Tang San and reacted to his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Was that how a father should react?"
"Think about it. If Tang San hadn't awakened Twin Martial Souls, if he hadn't awakened the Clear Sky Hammer, would Tang Hao really have treated Tang San as his son?" Jiang Yan asked.
"Judging by Tang Hao's behavior in yesterday's animation, I don't think he would have," Ye Guyi said.
"Even before Tang San awakened his Martial Soul, Tang Hao treated him like that. Was that how a father should treat his son?" Ye Guyi demanded.
"True." Leng Yaozhu agreed with Ye Guyi.
At that moment, Jiang Yan discovered that this single conspiracy theory had actually earned him more Shock Points from them than spoilers about the original story!
"Looks like I can show them more of these conspiracy theories in the future," Jiang Yan muttered to himself.
At the same time, everyone in the Sky Screen Livestream Room began discussing the matter.
[Meng Hongchen: You know what? Seriously, I think this is very likely. Tang Hao's attitude says it all.]
[Xu Xiaoyan: Exactly. Awaken Blue Silver Grass, and you're trash. Awaken the Clear Sky Hammer, and you're my son.]
[Xie Xie: Eating melons, eating melons.]
In an instant, the livestream room bustled with activity again.
[Tang Hao: What are you talking about? I've been utterly devoted to Ah Yin. What gives you the right to spread rumors about me?]
[Qian Daoliu: ?]
[Qian Daoliu: Didn't you go off to fight? You finished that quickly?]
[Qiangu Dongfeng: Hahahaha, I'm dying here. He probably got beaten black and blue!]
[Tang Hao: Are you looking to die?]
[Qiangu Dongfeng: ? What, you want to have a go at me?]
[Tang Hao: Then let's have a go! You think I'm afraid of you?]
Meanwhile, in the Modern Era, the animation continued playing.
By then, Tang Hao had already frightened Zhao Wuji out of his wits.
"May I ask which senior has graced us with his presence? Please stop toying with me," Zhao Wuji said, trembling with fear.
At that moment, in the Peerless Tang Sect era, Heavenly Fiend Douluo Huang Jinxu, a Guardian Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, snarked in the Sky Screen Livestream Room.
[Huang Jinxu: Isn't that change of face a little too fast? Weren't you acting all arrogant just now?]
[Zhao Wuji: What's that supposed to mean? If you met someone stronger than you, wouldn't you change your tune?]
[Huang Jinxu: How many people stronger than me could there be?]
[Huang Jinxu: Even if I met someone stronger, I'd never change my tune and beg for mercy!]
In the animation, Tang Hao looked at Zhao Wuji and said mildly, "When you bullied those children during the day, did you think I was easy to bully too?"
"I've discovered that bullying people feels rather good. Let me bully you a little too."
"Of course, you can also consider this me using my strength to bully the weak!"
By the time Zhao Wuji heard this, sweat was pouring down his back.
Just then, Tang Hao noticed Flender hiding in the shadows and said mildly,
"Since you're here, come out. What difference does one or two make?"
Hearing this, Flender stopped hiding, appeared beside Zhao Wuji, and released his Martial Soul.
"A Cat Owl Martial Soul, level seventy-eight. As expected of Flender, the main combatant of the Golden Iron Triangle back then."
"This Shrek Academy belongs to you, doesn't it?" Tang Hao said mildly.
Seeing that Tang Hao actually remembered him, Flender steeled himself and said,
"Yes, Your Eminence. I don't know how Zhao Wuji has offended you, Your Eminence, but could you perhaps give me a little face?"
"Cut the crap and stand aside, or I'll beat you up too!" Tang Hao said.
Within the Sky Screen, hearing the name Golden Iron Triangle gave Ye Guyi another question.
"Is this Golden Iron Triangle a group? Who else is in it besides Flender?" Ye Guyi asked.
"What Golden Iron Triangle? It was clearly a golden love triangle," Jiang Yan teased.
"A golden love triangle?" Jiang Yan's words immediately piqued Qian Renxue's interest.
At that moment, outside the Sky Screen, in Shrek Academy during the Spirit Hall era, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong suddenly felt that things were about to go terribly wrong.
Jiang Yan said within the Sky Screen, "The Golden Iron Triangle consisted of Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and Liu Erlong, and the three of them were in a love triangle."
"And love triangles like this have existed throughout every era of Shrek Academy. For example, Yu Xiaogang and Flender both liked Liu Erlong."
"Then, ten thousand years later, there were Yan Shaozhe, Qian Duoduo, and Xian Lin'er of Shrek Academy. Their relationship was even more complicated."
"Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er were each other's first loves. After they broke up, Xian Lin'er married Qian Duoduo out of spite. The two were husband and wife in name only, never having consummated their marriage."
At that moment, outside the Sky Screen, in Shrek Academy during the Peerless Tang Sect era, Xian Lin'er and Qian Duoduo, the dean and vice dean of the Soul Tool Department, felt utterly numb!
Especially Qian Duoduo-quite a few people in the Sky Screen Livestream Room had already begun trolling.
[Du Busi: Oh? So this Qian Duoduo is just a substitute?]
[Qiangu Dongfeng: Isn't he just? Shrek Academy has so many juicy melons!]
[Meng Hongchen: Hahahaha, this is killing me!]
Seeing these messages, Qian Duoduo found the same question rising in his heart. Was he really just a substitute?
But when Qian Duoduo wanted to talk to Xian Lin'er, he couldn't bring himself to open his mouth...
Meanwhile, having brought up the love triangles of the Peerless era, Jiang Yan had to expose Shrek Academy's biggest love triangle in full.
"If we're talking about the most serious love triangle ten thousand years later, it has to be Mu En's."
"Back then, Mu En and Long Xiaoyao both fell in love with Ye Xishui. Then Ye Xishui followed the arrangements and accepted Mu En's confession of love. This enraged Long Xiaoyao, leaving him so devastated that he departed alone."
"A year later, Long Xiaoyao returned and challenged Mu En at Shrek Academy. That night, all three of them got roaring drunk, and Ye Xishui deliberately mistook Long Xiaoyao for Mu En and slept with Long Xiaoyao."
"That was how Ye Xishui came to be pregnant with Long Xiaoyao's child."
As soon as these words were spoken, outside the Sky Screen, within the Holy Spirit Cult during the Peerless Tang Sect era, Long Xiaoyao looked at Ye Xishui in agitation, his eyes brimming with tears. "Xishui, you did it deliberately that night?"
"Why should I tell you?" Ye Xishui gave no answer, merely speaking mildly.
Meanwhile, within Shrek Academy, Mu En's Dao heart shattered completely.
"That night, Xishui... she did it deliberately? No! That's impossible!"
