"Heh heh, sweet talk. No wonder you could fool Xiao Wu and the others."
Liu Erlong might not always appreciate flattery, but what Xu Yunhan said was different.
The brilliant smile on her face was proof enough.
The two sat together, chatting happily.
Liu Erlong simply found chatting with Xu Yunhan very comfortable. Xu Yunhan was also a good talker, especially with women. In his previous life as emperor, he had dealt with the women in his harem quite a bit.
A few hours later, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, and Jiang Zhu appeared reluctantly. They had bought many things but still felt there was so much more they hadn't purchased.
"It's noon. Let's find a place for lunch, then continue this afternoon."
Liu Erlong led the group to a nearby specialty restaurant; she was treating.
After the meal, the group strolled along some of the most bustling streets.
By the time they returned to Shrek Academy, it was almost dark.
"Erlong, you took them out to play?"
Not long after entering the academy, they ran into Flender.
"Yes. They wanted to go out today since it's their day off, and I didn't feel at ease, so I went with them."
Liu Erlong said, "Was everything alright at the academy today?"
"Everything's fine. All's well," Flender said with a smile.
Seeing this, Xu Yunhan and the others bid farewell to Flender and Liu Erlong.
The two of them walked through the academy grounds.
"Erlong, it's been a long time since we've walked together like this."
Flender sighed, recalling events from many years ago.
"Indeed, so many years have passed in a blink."
Liu Erlong knew that Flender had always liked her, but she simply didn't feel the same way about him. First there was Yu Xiaogang, and now Xu Yunhan; she just had no feelings for Flender.
However, treating Flender as a friend was quite nice.
"I still remember when we first met..."
Flender recounted past events, but deliberately avoided mentioning Yu Xiaogang.
The two strolled, reminiscing about the past, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
They didn't notice that not far away, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San, who were passing by, happened to see them.
"Does Erlong have feelings for Flender now?" For some reason, Yu Xiaogang suspected this, and he felt a bit jealous, a little uncomfortable.
He could refuse to accept Liu Erlong, but he couldn't accept Liu Erlong liking someone else, let alone that person being Flender.
All of this, Tang San saw, and he particularly understood Yu Xiaogang's feelings at that moment.
He had also noticed that Liu Erlong had gradually distanced herself from Yu Xiaogang recently. He had suspected Liu Erlong had developed feelings for Xu Yunhan, but now he felt Flender was a more likely suspect.
There was no helping it; the age gap between Xu Yunhan and Liu Erlong was large, so Tang San leaned more towards Flender and Liu Erlong.
"Teacher, can you tell me about you and Teacher Liu Erlong?"
Tang San had always been curious, but Yu Xiaogang had never spoken about it. He hadn't asked before, but now he couldn't help but ask.
"You want to know?"
Yu Xiaogang looked somewhat weary. "Come on. Have a drink with me, and I'll tell you slowly."
He took Tang San to his residence, brought out wine and appetizers, and the master and disciple began to drink.
After a few cups, Yu Xiaogang spoke, "Erlong and I have known each other for over twenty years. Back then... we were actually about to get married, but then fate played a cruel joke on us. Heh heh, do you know, Erlong turned out to be my uncle's illegitimate daughter; she's my cousin!"
Tang San listened, dumbfounded.
Such a coincidence.
It was indeed a tragedy.
However, Tang San's views and ideas were different, and he advised, "Teacher, since you and Teacher Liu Erlong love each other, why should you care about what others think?"
This kid has no morals!
Is he a pervert?
Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, surprised by his perspective, and shook his head. "You don't understand! Erlong is my cousin; we can't be together."
Tang San didn't think so. In his opinion, no matter the relationship, if you like someone, you should be together.
He thought for a moment and offered a new suggestion: "Teacher, if you mind those worldly views, you can maintain a pure relationship with Teacher Liu Erlong, becoming spiritual spouses."
He thought, Let them become spiritual spouses first. When the time is right, the rest will naturally follow.
Could Yu Xiaogang understand? He understood in his heart, but he both wanted Liu Erlong and didn't want to be condemned by worldly views, so he felt that what Tang San said was a method.
Especially now that Liu Erlong showed signs of distancing herself from him, Yu Xiaogang grew anxious. "Xiao San, perhaps you are right. I will seriously consider it."
"Teacher, no matter what decision you make, I will support you." Tang San said with a sincere expression.
Yu Xiaogang nodded, then thought of Xiao Wu's situation, feeling that he and his disciple were truly sympathetic in their plights.
So he encouraged Tang San, "Xiao San, there's no need to rush about Xiao Wu. No matter how fast Xu Yunhan cultivates now, he will at most only be a Titled Douluo in the future. But you are different; you have twin martial spirits, which means you'll be equivalent to two Titled Douluo in the future. Moreover, the spirit ring lifespan of your second martial spirit will exceed fifty thousand years. At that time, you might be the strongest existence on the Douluo Continent. Then, what would you not be able to obtain? Be patient; your current endurance is for a better future!"
Yu Xiaogang was still waiting for Tang San to become powerful enough to help him get revenge on Spirit Hall, to make Bibi Dong regret it, and make her submit to his feet!
"Teacher, I understand!"
Tang San clenched his fists. Now was his time to endure hardship and bide his time. He had to be patient.
The patience and pain he endured now, he would return a hundredfold to Xu Yunhan in the future!
Master and disciple drank until midnight.
Tang San insisted on returning to his dorm to rest, and Yu Xiaogang couldn't stop him.
On the way back to his dorm, he happened to pass by Xiao Wu's dorm.
Tang San, with a slightly fuzzy head, used his mental power to probe the situation in Xiao Wu's dorm. He found that only Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were sleeping; Xiao Wu was nowhere to be seen.
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang San's mood worsened, and he couldn't help but use his mental power to probe Xu Yunhan's dorm.
Xu Yunhan sensed someone's mental power snooping and probed back, discovering it was Tang San.
He didn't make a move, not wanting Tang San to know his mental power was strong, and at the same time, he put away his mental power shield.
If Tang San wanted to snoop, let him see.
This, on the contrary, excited Xu Yunhan even more.
"Brother Yun Han~"
Feeling Xu Yunhan suddenly become even more vigorous, Xiao Wu was very happy.
Tang San's mental power probe happened to witness this scene, which immediately filled him with burning rage, overwhelming him.
Pfft!
A large mouthful of fresh blood gushed from Tang San's mouth, his face deathly pale.
Fortunately, it was the middle of the night; there was no one around, and he couldn't be seen.
"Xu Yunhan!"
Tang San didn't hate Xiao Wu; he only hated Xu Yunhan, vowing to dismember Xu Yunhan into ten thousand pieces in the future!
Pfft!
The more he thought, the angrier he got, and Tang San continuously spat out several mouthfuls of blood!
Endure!
Tang San clenched his fists, forcing himself not to act impulsively. He couldn't beat Xu Yunhan; he had to endure.
After spitting out a few more mouthfuls of blood, Tang San finally held back, then pretended as if he had seen nothing and returned to his own dorm.
Xu Yunhan watched the entire process. When he saw Tang San continuously spitting blood, he was very pleased and became even more aggressive towards Xiao Wu, giving Xiao Wu more pleasure.
