Chapter 2 Tang San in Despair: Did He Offend His Brother-in-Law?
Seventh Dormitory.
The air was filled with a musty smell and the smell of a boy's sweat.
Tang San stood in the center of the dormitory, looking at Wang Sheng and the others who were lying on the ground groaning, and slowly withdrew his hand.
He wore a humble smile, but a glint of satisfaction flashed deep in his eyes.
The establishment of authority has been achieved.
In this unfamiliar little group, only fists matter.
Even among work-study students, there are different levels and grades.
Now that I've become the leader, I won't have to do all the miscellaneous tasks myself anymore, which will free up more time for me to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill.
Just then, a clear, sweet shout came from the doorway.
A beautifully sculpted little girl walked in.
Wang Sheng immediately introduced the rules of Dormitory 7.
Xiao Wu, always eager for a good show, didn't hesitate to strike, using her extremely tricky and flexible martial arts to catch Tang San off guard.
Although Tang San possessed the Purple Demon Eye and the Jade Hand, he was still suppressed by this little girl without using hidden weapons or risking his life.
"From now on, I'm the boss of Dormitory 7. Call me Sister Xiaowu!"
Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips, her rabbit ears swaying, making her look charming and cute.
Tang San rubbed his sore shoulders and looked at the energetic little girl in front of him. Instead of being angry, he felt a strange flutter in his heart.
With such incredible flexibility, if she can possess such skill at this age, her background is probably not simple.
At this moment, Wang Sheng awkwardly approached.
"Boss, oh no, Sister Xiaowu, you're amazing! Let me help you with your luggage. By the way, where are your bedding?"
Xiao Wu was stunned, staring at the empty bed frame, and blinked her big eyes.
"Bedding? Do we need to bring our own?"
Just then, a teacher in his thirties walked in from outside.
"A new work-study student? Step forward for a moment."
Tang San and Xiao Wu got up from their beds at the same time.
The teacher had an ordinary appearance, light green hair, and was carrying a quilt in his hands.
Which one is Tang San?
Tang San quickly stepped forward.
The teacher said, "My name is Mohen, you can call me Teacher Mo. Tang San, this is the bedding the master gave you."
Tang San took the bedding. Although the bedding wasn't fancy, a fresh, clean smell wafted out, indicating that it was all brand new.
There was also a pillow.
The master had clearly thought of everything for him.
Tang San's heart stirred.
He glanced at the brand-new bedding that the master had just given him, then looked at Xiao Wu, who looked embarrassed.
Tang San slowly made the bed, thinking about how to start the conversation and show his "gentlemanly demeanor".
He could feel Xiao Wu staring at the brand-new bedding in his hands.
This is a great opportunity to build a closer relationship.
It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow.
If I were to give her half right now, this little girl would be eternally grateful.
Having another powerful ally at Notting Academy is always beneficial.
"Crunch."
The dormitory door was pushed open again.
A tall, slender figure walked in, carrying a brand-new blue and white checkered quilt that exuded the warmth of sunshine.
It was Ye Liuyun.
He remained calm, as if he didn't see anyone in the room, and walked straight to the empty bed in the far corner.
As a reincarnated person, he already knew the conditions of the work-study student dormitory.
When Xiao Wu saw Ye Liuyun's blanket, her eyes lit up as if she had found some treasure. She immediately abandoned Tang San and skipped over to Ye Liuyun.
A sly glint shone in those pink eyes.
Of course she recognized Ye Liuyun.
On the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, it was this strange Blue Silver Grass Soul Beast that found her when she had just transformed into human form and suggested that they travel together.
In Xiao Wu's simple logic: I am the rabbit, and you are the grass.
Grass is rabbit food, so I naturally suppress you.
Moreover, since everyone is a spirit beast, in this dangerous human world, only one's own kind is trustworthy.
Xiao Wu confidently stretched out her hand and pointed to the bed that Ye Liuyun had just made.
"I want to sleep with you!"
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Tang San's foot, which had just taken half a step, awkwardly hung in the air.
Seeing Xiao Wu's affectionate, even slightly coquettish, manner toward Ye Liuyun, the sense of loss in his heart instantly transformed into an uncontrollable jealousy.
On what grounds?
How could this scheming and deceitful man, who even dared to deceive his teacher, win the girl's favor?
Jealousy, like a venomous snake, gnawed at Tang San's heart.
He recalled Yu Xiaogang's evaluation of Ye Liuyun, and suddenly felt more confident.
"This student."
Tang San stepped forward, standing between Xiao Wu and Ye Liuyun, looking at Xiao Wu with an upright and righteous expression:
"Xiao Wu, you can know a person's face but not their heart. Some people may seem honest on the surface, but they are actually very cunning."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Liuyun, who was tidying up his pillow. His voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear, indicating that he intended to expose Ye Liuyun's secret directly.
"Just now at the Academic Affairs Office, the master asserted that he has twin martial souls, clearly intending to give him some guidance."
"But in order to hide his abilities and to guard against his fellow disciples, he actually lied in public and refused to admit it."
"A person who dares to deceive even his teachers and superiors has a questionable character."
"Xiao Wu, you're new here, don't be fooled by appearances."
"My blanket is quite large. If you don't mind, we can…"
Tang San hadn't finished speaking.
Xiao Wu looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"You're lying to me?"
Xiao Wu pointed at Ye Liuyun, then at herself, with a strange look on her face.
"He's my cousin, we're from the same village, we know each other inside and out. You think he's lying to me?"
"and..."
Xiao Wu tilted her head, her eyes becoming somewhat sharp.
"You're saying he has twin martial souls? His martial soul is Blue Silver Grass. I'm from that village too, how come I didn't know he had a second martial soul?"
"That so-called master, he hasn't even seen it, yet he's already accusing people of lying. I think that master is the fraudster."
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with disdain; she and Ye Liuyun were both 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
Where did the second martial soul come from?
They were all fellow villagers from the Star Dou Forest.
When fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears.
She doesn't trust Ye Liuyun, who is also a soul beast, so why would she trust humans?
boom!
Tang San's mind went blank.
Cousin...cousin?
From the same village?
Does that mean... these two are relatives?
The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, so what am I?
Speaking ill of someone in front of their brother-in-law, and even trying to seduce their cousin?
Even with Tang San's temperament from two lifetimes, his face turned a deep purplish-red, and he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
This is more than just embarrassing; it's socially fatal.
"I...this..."
Tang San stammered, and the righteous aura he had just displayed instantly vanished.
He could only slink back to his bed, pretending to tidy up his things, but in reality, he was keeping his ears perked up, afraid that Ye Liuyun would make a sarcastic remark at this moment.
However.
Ye Liuyun merely glanced at Tang San indifferently.
There was no anger or mockery in those eyes.
It's like looking at a pile of dog poop on the side of the road.
Since we've already avoided it, it's not worth taking another look.
"Go to sleep if you want, but don't cross the line."
Ye Liuyun lifted a corner of the blanket, his voice indifferent.
"Hehe, I knew my cousin was the best!"
Xiao Wu cheered and pounced onto the bed, giving Tang San a defiant glare in the distance.
Ye Liuyun leaned against the wall, closing his eyes to rest.
He did not resist Xiao Wu's closeness.
This is not because of feelings, but because of interests.
This silly rabbit is his best shield right now.
His true form is a Blue Silver Grass with 800,000 years of cultivation, which has long since undergone a transformation.
Even if they are stronger and better at concealing their abilities.
Even if a Title Douluo investigates thoroughly, there is still a risk of being exposed.
But Xiao Wu is different. She is a 100,000-year-old soul beast with a purer aura. She is also weak, and her ability to conceal her aura is no match for his, making her more likely to attract attention.
and...
Ye Liuyun's thoughts drifted to the darkness outside the window.
There, a faint but powerful aura was probing.
Tang Hao.
This titled Douluo, who only ever hides in the shadows and spies on his son, is probably watching this place right now.
Tang San and Tang Hao are not currently using the Ten-Year Soul Ring.
Furthermore, Tang San has feelings for Xiao Wu, and Tang Hao currently has no reason to harm them.
Rather than wandering around and running into other Title Douluos, it's better to choose one whose general direction you know.
Moreover, his true form is Blue Silver Grass.
If Tang Hao really wants to take action against him, then he shouldn't blame Tang Hao for randomly claiming relatives.
At that time, all he needs to do is put on a pitiful yet angry expression and ask:
"I came to the human world to find my long-lost sister, Ah Yin. I don't know which bastard tricked my innocent and kind sister with sweet words, leaving her still missing, her fate unknown..."
The weighty labels of "heartless man" and "killed his sister" were enough to instantly break Tang Hao, who was consumed by guilt, causing him to kneel down and call him "ancestor" on the spot.
Tang San, oh Tang San.
Do you think I'm your competitor?
No.
I could be your "uncle" whom you've never met, an ancestor whom even your father would worship, or a nightmare you can never escape in this lifetime.
