Chapter 47: Tang San Nearly Loses Composure Upon Seeing a Beauty, You Xing Worries About Misguided Teachings

Xiao Wu, seeing Tang San's anger, cutely stuck out her tongue, "Sorry, I thought... he was threatening you. Oh, were you acknowledging him as your teacher? Haha, I've never seen someone kneel when taking a teacher."

"You—"

Tang San widened his eyes.

Not because Xiao Wu's words angered him more, but because when he turned and saw the young girl who had kicked his teacher, he was struck by her charming appearance.

Growing up in a remote valley, he'd never held a girl's hand or even spoken to one. In his past life, he only knew of the opposite gender through books, and in this life, his father Tang Hao was a miserable old bachelor. When had he ever seen such a pretty and cute girl!?

The original story hinted that Xiao Wu was an absolute beauty. Even at six, one could glimpse her future allure.

For Tang San, who had a bit of a penchant for lolis, Xiao Wu's playful cuteness was a direct hit.

His speechlessness was pure nerves. (In the original, Tang San was nervous speaking to Xiao Wu; this isn't me slandering him!)

Of course, the pure-hearted Tang San would never think he had inappropriate feelings for a young girl. He simply attributed his reaction to a lack of experience with the opposite gender.

He didn't realize that as a man with a psychological age over thirty, seeing a six-year-old girl as a woman was odd.

At this moment, he forgot his anger. Upon hearing Xiao Wu's explanation, understanding she was just concerned and acted impulsively, he thought she was a kind-hearted girl at her core, despite her mistake.

"Do you, young girl, always act without thinking?"

Just as Tang San's impression of Xiao Wu improved, Yu Xiaogang, rubbing his head in anger, stood up unsteadily and scolded Xiao Wu.

"Teacher!"

Seeing this, Tang San quickly slid forward to support Yu Xiaogang, his face full of concern, "Are you alright?"

Seeing his disciple's worry warmed Yu Xiaogang's heart, but having been humiliated right after being acknowledged as a teacher made him even angrier at Xiao Wu. He sourly remarked, "I'm fine. Xiao San, remember, never learn from such people—unruly, reckless. Always think thrice before acting!"

"Yes, Teacher, I under—"

"I already said she didn't mean it!"

Xiao Wu, hearing Yu Xiaogang's words directed at her, grew furious, glaring at him fiercely before turning away, grumbling, "If not for your misleading behavior..."

Both Tang San and Yu Xiaogang, with their keen hearing, caught every word.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened as he approached Xiao Wu, scolding, "Such an unreasonable girl, injuring me and then acting righteously? How did your parents raise you? I demand an apology!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's comments about her deceased parents, Xiao Wu grew red with anger, even if she was in the wrong.

However, before she could react, You Chen, who had been quietly observing, stepped forward.

He addressed Tang San, a boy with a simple appearance, just an ordinary farm child, "Young brother, did you just acknowledge this man as your teacher?"

Despite You Chen maintaining an emotionless ice-cold demeanor, Yu Xiaogang guessed his intention and his face grew darker.

Fearing the loss of a hard-won genius disciple, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward, feigning anger, "You and this unruly girl are clearly troublemakers. Xiao San, don't get involved with these bad influences. Let's go register now."

In truth, Yu Xiaogang's inherent arrogance wouldn't typically make him so agitated and flustered. Normally, he'd maintain a "let them ridicule me, what do I care" attitude.

But You Xing's appearance gave him a familiar sensation, inexplicably unsettling.

Tang San, unaware of Yu Xiaogang's unease, only heard his teacher's evaluation of You Chen and frowned, disliking this boy who accompanied Xiao Wu.

He detected the subtle disdain in You Chen's words towards Yu Xiaogang.

Wanting to defend his teacher's honor, Tang San stared at You Chen, "Yes, is there a problem with that?"

You Chen, maintaining You Xing's icy persona, responded, "I don't know how he deceived you, but this guy's name is Yu Xiaogang. He's notorious for doing nothing at Nordin City Junior Academy, just freeloading. He claims to be a theoretical master, yet his only work, 'The Ten Core Competencies of Martial Spirits,' was debunked by a 12-year-old upon release. Simply put—he's a well-known fraud in the soul master world."

Tang San's eyes widened.

Not in shock at the "truth," but in anger at You Chen's "slander"!

A teacher who could identify his twin martial spirits and deduce the other was extremely powerful couldn't possibly be a fraud!

Someone must be jealous of the teacher's abilities and is slandering his reputation!

Hearing You Chen's words didn't make Tang San doubt Yu Xiaogang; instead, he felt a sense of shared suffering.

A teacher unfairly treated in the theoretical world and himself, a genius denied access to the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record—they were truly kindred spirits!

"Shut up!"

Tang San, reaching this conclusion, glared at You Chen, "What evidence do you have for these claims!? It's just hearsay! Take back what you said about my teacher! Apologize on your knees, or I'll make you pay for insulting him!"

Xiao Wu, seeing You Chen stand up for her, felt touched by her "cold-faced but warm-hearted" little junior brother, who stood up without hesitation when his senior sister was bullied.

However, seeing Tang San glare at You Chen, as if he were a murderer, she thought—

'Does this guy have some serious issues?'

Xiao Wu gave Tang San a strange look, saying, "Hey, my junior brother is kindly warning you. Even if you don't appreciate it, why act crazy?"
