Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo also looked utterly bewildered.
Hadn't she been adamant about killing Tang San earlier? Why wasn't she killing him now?
"Your Holiness, do we not need to hunt down Tang San?"
Bibi Dong said calmly, "No. Tang Hao should be with Tang San now. Going there would do you no good."
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo couldn't help muttering inwardly. Could it be because of Yu Xiaogang?
The modern world.
The television kept playing.
On-screen, Yu Xiaogang took Tang San to the academic affairs office to register.
As soon as they entered the office, Yu Xiaogang's eyes darted evasively, and he tossed out a remark:
"These teachers will help you register. I have something to attend to, so I'll leave first. I'll find you later."
Tang San obediently said, "Goodbye, Teacher!"
Everyone was astonished to hear Tang San's words. Tang San actually called Yu Xiaogang his teacher.
The teachers reminded Tang San again that he couldn't just casually accept someone as his master.
But Tang San paid them no mind. As he saw it, they simply failed to recognize a true dragon.
After he left the academic affairs office, mocking remarks came one after another.
"I remember Grandmaster had something called the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul."
"What a ridiculous notion!"
"Although no one can prove he's right, no one can prove his theories wrong either."
"Grandmaster is quite a famous figure in the Martial Soul world."
"A famous clown, more like. Everyone knows he's a joke."
Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help thinking:
He could tell I had Twin Martial Souls from a single certificate, and he's just a joke? Who's really the joke here?
In the living room.
Tang Wutong's toes were practically digging into the floor.
She swept her gaze over Qian Renxue's and Gu Yuena's reactions. They were clearly both holding back laughter.
"What's so funny?"
Qian Renxue said seriously, "Yes, there's nothing funny. Someone just became a joke, that's all."
Gu Yuena couldn't help nodding too. "I really admire his confidence."
Lin Hao wore a half-smile.
"Compared to Tang San, I think Yu Xiaogang is even more laughable."
"How could Yu Xiaogang be so thick-skinned? He knew he'd be mocked, yet he left Tang San alone in the academic affairs office."
Hearing this, Tang Wutong froze too.
That was right. They had gone together in the first place. What could Yu Xiaogang possibly have needed to do?
He had only just accepted a disciple. Could he really not spare that little bit of time?
He was clearly just afraid of being mocked.
The Douluo I world.
Shrek Academy.
Seeing the images on the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang flushed scarlet and panted like an ox.
"This Sky Screen is clearly slandering me on purpose..."
He hadn't expected this damned Sky Screen to expose this scene too, ruining his lifelong reputation.
"Little San, your teacher had something to do then. I needed to prepare supplies for obtaining your Soul Ring."
Hearing this only made Tang San angrier.
What supplies did you even prepare?
But Yu Xiaogang was his teacher, after all, so he softened his tone.
"Teacher, there's no need to say more. Little San understands."
By now, Ning Rongrong, the Little Demoness, could no longer hold back her laughter. She said:
"I never imagined Grandmaster had it so rough even at a junior Soul Master Academy. No wonder all he does every day is make us run."
"Maybe he's taking his anger out on us now because of how he was treated back then."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened as he glared furiously.
"You, you, you..."
"Ning Rongrong, how dare you!"
Ning Rongrong found it funny. "Me, what? What did I do now?"
The others didn't know whether to laugh or cry either, but everyone had a scale in their heart. After all, Tang San really had been mocked by everyone there.
Grandmaster really lacked a sense of responsibility.
Elsewhere, at Spirit Hall.
After watching the Sky Screen, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo couldn't help looking at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's face was burning too.
She hadn't expected Yu Xiaogang to be this thick-skinned either.
Was this the same spirited, ambitious Yu Xiaogang she held in her heart?
The Douluo II world.
Shrek Academy.
Everyone had originally taken pride in Shrek, especially revering Yu Xiaogang, who had trained seven gods.
But the Sky Screen's revelations stripped Yu Xiaogang of his halo as a theoretical grandmaster.
Upon discovering that Yu Xiaogang was essentially a con man, many students became utterly furious.
"To think I once idolized Yu Xiaogang. I must have been blind."
Some students who couldn't stomach it promptly spat on Yu Xiaogang's statue.
Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, happened to pass by and seized this student on the spot.
His face filled with anger, he asked, "Why did you do that?"
The student said fearlessly:
"Pah! Does Yu Xiaogang even deserve a statue at our Shrek Academy?"
"What does he know about Shrek? Those who dare not stir up trouble are mediocrities. By spitting on Yu Xiaogang, I'm putting our Shrek Academy's principles into practice."
Hearing this, Yan Shaozhe had no answer. His head ached. What kind of nonsense was this?
Ever since the rise of the Sun Moon Royal Academy's Soul Tools, Shrek Academy's standing had begun to decline.
Now the Sky Screen had even laid bare Sea God Tang San's and Yu Xiaogang's pasts. Their rivals at the Sun Moon Royal Academy were probably laughing themselves silly, weren't they?
The modern world.
The television kept playing.
That toe-curlingly awkward plot finally passed. Watching Tang San report to Dorm Seven, Tang Wutong couldn't help perking up again.
"Dad really is Dad. He easily subdued Wang Sheng, the dorm's former boss."
Everyone: "..."
Was beating some small fry really worth getting this excited about?
After Tang San arrived, Xiao Wu also came to report to Dorm Seven.
After a spar, Tang San narrowly lost, and Xiao Wu became the dorm's boss. Everyone called her Sister Xiao Wu.
Tang Wutong let out a long breath.
"At last, a normal storyline."
"I want to watch Mom and Dad being all sweet, with pink bubbles floating around them!"
"Dad told me back then that he and Mom had such pure love when they were little."
Lin Hao couldn't help finding it funny.
"Pure love?"
"Another iconic scene is coming up. Do you want to turn on the bullet comments? They'll obstruct the view a little, though."
Qian Renxue asked in confusion, "What are bullet comments?"
Tang Wutong huffed. "They must be something exciting, like shells fired from a Soul Cannon."
Gu Yuena imagined it. "Could the people in the picture come out?"
Hearing the three women's analyses, Lin Hao felt black lines forming over his forehead. He said:
"It's nothing that dramatic. Just silly netizens' snarky comments."
Although the three women didn't understand, they nodded anyway.
Lin Hao turned on the bullet comments.
The story then reached the part where they laid out their bedding.
Since Xiao Wu hadn't brought a quilt, the others either had bedding that was too small or clutched their quilts tightly.
Only Tang San had a large, wide quilt, and he wasn't on guard at all.
Tilting her head, Xiao Wu walked over to Tang San and blinked her big eyes. "Little San, let's sleep together!"
Tang San flushed scarlet. "That wouldn't be appropriate, would it? Men and women shouldn't have physical contact."
Xiao Wu planted her hands on her hips. "I don't mind, so what are you worrying about? Just push two beds together and put our bundles in the middle. As long as we don't cross the line, it'll be fine!"
Seeing this, Tang Wutong was dumbfounded.
When Mom and Dad told her about it, their first meeting had supposedly been the beginning of a pure romance.
What was this about sharing a quilt at such a young age?
What on earth was going on?
[Classic rogue rabbit.]
[Boys must protect themselves when they're out in the world.]
[A dividing line? A rabbit's mouth is a lying devil. Let's see whether you cross that line tonight.]
[...]
Meanwhile, Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena couldn't help bursting into laughter at the bullet comments.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Qian Renxue finally lost her composure. "What do they mean, a hundred-thousand-year-old rabbit nibbling tender grass?"
Gu Yuena was laughing helplessly too.
Tang Wutong couldn't help frowning. "My mom isn't a rogue rabbit! She's a Soft Bone Rabbit!"
Lin Hao quipped:
"She asked someone to share a bed the moment she arrived. If that isn't a rogue rabbit, what is?"
"Xiao Wu is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who took human form. Even if you add Tang San's age from his previous life, Xiao Wu is still an old rabbit nibbling tender grass."
Hearing this, Tang Wutong instantly lost her composure.
She hadn't thought of that before, but with Lin Hao putting it that way, she could hardly look at her mom and dad at this point in their lives.
He glanced at Gu Yuena, who was laughing helplessly, and couldn't help saying:
"Don't you laugh either. You're not much better."
Gu Yuena froze. How am I involved in this?
She was about to ask what he meant.
A voice came from outside the door:
"Hello, your McDonald's is here?"
Lin Hao's eyes lit up. That hundred-yuan tip had certainly paid off. The delivery guy was incredibly efficient.
When Lin Hao came in from outside carrying bags large and small.
All their earlier emotions were swept away.
The wafting aroma of fried chicken made Tang Wutong's stomach let out a humiliating growl.
Qian Renxue also swallowed instinctively.
Even Gu Yuena, who had been somewhat aloof, now had a faint blush on her face.
Although she also wanted to know what Lin Hao had meant just now.
When it came to chowing down, nothing was more important.
