Even Rocks have heart

Zhongli and Paimon quietly left the small village and once again set off on their journey back. As for the boy named Wang Chen, the gears of fate began to turn...

In Heaven Dou City, in the boys' dormitory of Blue Tyrant Academy.

At this moment, Tang San was sitting on a stool by the window, gazing outside, lost in thought.

After a while, Tang San murmured, "Could it be him?"

The only person who could be called 'sir' by Dugu Bo, aside from the one he met when entering the city, Tang San could not think of a second person.

"If it really is him, then..."

"How did he manage to save Dugu Bo?"

For someone in Dugu Bo's condition, saving him is akin to snatching a person from the clutches of the King of Hell!

Unless there is a legendary immortal herb, there is only a seventy to eighty percent chance of saving Dugu Bo.

This was the reason Tang San couldn't figure it out.

Immortal herb?

Stop joking, how could this world possibly have such divine items?

Even if there was an immortal herb, using it to heal others?

What a waste of a treasure!

Dugu Bo didn't trouble Tang San. After a moment of silence, he quietly left.

After he left, Tang San did not cultivate but sat by the window, lost in thought.

For some reason, he felt a bit lost, as if he had lost something, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

He was also somewhat confused because of the matter of Dugu Bo's poison being cured.

There is actually someone in this world who can cure Dugu Bo's poison?

If Dugu Bo's poison can be cured, then Dugu Yan's poison is even less of a problem.

"Xiao San, what's going on with you?"

At this moment, a voice rang out, pulling Tang San back from his thoughts.

He looked at the person by the window and said, "Brother Dai, I'm fine, just thinking about some problems."

The person was Dai Mubai, and there was no issue with the address here.

After all, in the early stages, it was "Brother Dai," in the middle stages "Mubai," and in the later stages "Dai Mubai"...

"I didn't expect you to have troubles as well."

Dai Mubai sighed and jumped directly from the window into the room.

For him, a Soul Master, this was not difficult.

Tang San smiled bitterly. Despite his genius, he also had many troubles.

"Brother Dai, why do you look so worried? Weren't you and Fatty going to the Spirit Arena for some fights?"

"Sigh~"

Hearing this, Dai Mubai sighed, found a place to sit, and said, "Xiao San, you don't understand my troubles!"

"You have Xiao Wu, who is wholeheartedly with you..."

"Brother Dai, Xiao Wu is just my sister."

Tang San quickly retorted.

As he said this, his tone was somewhat uncertain.

"Ah, right, right... sister, sister!"

"A sister is still a sister. We are men; what's there we can't say?"

"This..."

Seeing Tang San's hesitant expression, Dai Mubai continued, "Xiao San, you say Xiao Wu is just your sister, but a sister will get married someday, right?"

"Think about it, if Xiao Wu were in another man's arms..."

"I'll kill him!"

Tang San instinctively slammed the table and stood up, saying angrily.

This murderous look really startled Dai Mubai. When he came back to his senses, he looked at Tang San with a smile.

After Tang San came to his senses, he and Dai Mubai looked at each other, speechless.

How was this different from confessing without being pressed?

After a while, Tang San sighed and said, "Brother Dai, let's talk about your problems instead."

At this moment, Tang San also understood his feelings. His feelings for Xiao Wu probably went beyond that kind of sibling affection.

It was uncertain whether Xiao Wu had always seen him as an older brother. If she didn't...

Hearing this, the smile on Dai Mubai's face froze and gradually disappeared.

The happier he had been just now, the sadder he was now.

"Xiao San, you should know something about my relationship with Zhuqing, right?"

"Yes."

It's been so long; it would be strange if he didn't know by now.

Because of this, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had a big argument back in Sotou City, and Ning Rongrong even stood up for Zhu Zhuqing.

Although this happened a long time ago, Tang San still remembered it.

Later, due to Dai Mubai's heroic actions in the Star Dou Forest, Ning Rongrong's perception of him improved a lot, which helped repair their broken relationship a bit.

"Brother is suffering!"

"She is clearly my fiancée, yet she ignores me!"

"According to logic, we should be able to use the Martial Soul Fusion skill together, but that requires mutual understanding..."

"She doesn't understand me and is unwilling to accept me, completely closing off her heart, which is why we can't release the Martial Soul Fusion skill now..."

Hearing this, Tang San was stunned, his face full of confusion.

"Martial Soul Fusion skill?"

Wow, there was such a thing?

Suddenly, Tang San seemed to realize something and understood.

"No wonder, no wonder the teacher looks at you and Zhu Zhuqing strangely."

Given Yu Xiaogang's status, how could he not know the situation between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing?

This was also why he felt strange.

The Hell White Tiger, renowned throughout the continent!

How could he not have heard of it?

Dai Mubai was taken aback, his eyelids twitching.

"Xiao San, is your focus off? I'm talking about Zhuqing ignoring me!"

Tang San: "..."

"I used to be a bit of a scoundrel, but I've changed. When she arrived, I cut off contact with all those other women!"

"Even after all this, she still hasn't looked at me directly!"

"My actions in the Star Dou Forest should have moved even a stone, right?"

Hearing this, Tang San nodded instinctively.

Dai Mubai might have been a bit of a playboy, but he truly stepped up when it mattered!

This was why, even after offending two Title Douluo upon arriving in Heaven Dou City, no one suggested abandoning him.

Dai Mubai was genuinely good as a friend and a brother.

Tang San, having been an assassin in his past life, had only just begun to understand his feelings in this life. How could he comprehend the pain of the other party?

Since Dai Mubai was someone he "acknowledged," Tang San naturally sided with him.

"Even a rock has a heart; Zhu Zhuqing doesn't!"

Dai Mubai said painfully, genuinely feeling helpless.

"Brother Dai, if Zhu Zhuqing doesn't like you, why cling to her?"

"Love can't be forced, right?"

"Do you think I want to? Seeing her cold face makes me lose interest."

"???"

"I have reasons I must be with her."

"Moreover, parental orders and the matchmaker's words aren't something we can refuse."

"Even if she's unwilling now, she will be in the future."

"What's your situation now then?"

"Time waits for no one..."

"For some reason, I always feel that her purpose in seeking me out is to die together with me..."
