Tang San said seriously, "Teacher, in my heart, you are just like my father. If I don't care about you, who else can I care about?"
Yu Xiaogang laughed heartily again, his expression relaxed and joyful; he was clearly very happy to be coaxed by Tang San's words.
The thing he was most proud of in his life was teaching a Genius Disciple like Tang San.
"Good Little San, Teacher will surely exhaust all his lifelong learning to Cultivate you."
Tang San said solemnly, "It is this Disciple's honor to be cultivated by Teacher. I will never fail your expectations."
Yu Xiaogang nodded repeatedly.
The master and Disciple then spoke for a few more moments before Yu Xiaogang asked, "By the way, Little San, is there a reason you came today?"
Tang San nodded slightly and then said, "Teacher, do you know what happened today?"
Yu Xiaogang looked curious.
"What happened?"
Tang San said in a deep voice, "The teams that participated in the Soul Master Tournament have returned!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's expression instantly froze, and a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.
Clearly, he couldn't help but think of Yang Yuan just now.
But after suffering several setbacks at Yang Yuan's hands, Yu Xiaogang had learned his lesson. He knew that from now on, until Tang San fully grew up, he could no longer provoke Yang Yuan.
Otherwise, while he was lucky enough to escape with his life this time, there was no telling about the next.
So he snorted coldly and said indifferently, "Little San, there's no need to pay them any mind. Let those petty people have their way for a while."
"So what if Yang Yuan is strong now? Teacher will always believe in you. If you aren't his match now, then wait another thirty, forty, or fifty years. Teacher believes that one day you will reach his current height."
Clearly, while Yu Xiaogang remained defiant and full of resentment toward Yang Yuan, he had no choice but to acknowledge his talent and strength.
Therefore, even though he was full of confidence in Tang San, he only dared to say that in thirty, forty, or even fifty years, Tang San might have a chance to reach Yang Yuan's current height.
As for whether he could surpass Yang Yuan, Yu Xiaogang no longer dared to hope for it.
If he could surpass him, that would naturally be better. With Little San's personality, he would surely kill Yang Yuan to avenge himself and Tang Hao.
If he couldn't, Tang San's talent would still be enough to make a name for himself across the continent and help wash away Yu Xiaogang's reputation as trash.
This was the wishful thinking Yu Xiaogang had in his heart.
However, before that, Yu Xiaogang hoped Tang San would maintain his restraint.
Tang San nodded seriously and said, "Don't worry, Teacher. I'm not that impulsive. I know that with my current strength, I'm far from being Yang Yuan's match."
"The boy is worth teaching."
Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction.
Tang San continued, "Teacher, actually, I have one more thing to tell you today."
"What is it?"
"I plan to leave for a while," Tang San said truthfully.
Yu Xiaogang was startled.
"Leave?"
"Where do you plan to go?"
Tang San immediately explained, "Before Dad was killed, he told me about several Opportunities. If I can obtain these Opportunities, my strength will surely advance by leaps and bounds."
"There's such a thing?" Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.
Since these were Tang Hao's final words, they must be extremely important Opportunities.
But then, he still said worriedly, "Is it dangerous? Do you want Teacher, Erlong, and Flender to go with you?"
Tang San shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Teacher, there's no danger."
Yu Xiaogang then nodded in satisfaction.
"That's good. When do you plan to leave?"
A sharp light flashed in Tang San's eyes.
"I'm leaving today."
Yu Xiaogang was surprised.
"Leaving so urgently?"
Tang San said in a deep voice, "Teacher, time waits for no one. Yang Yuan's talent was already above mine. If I don't strive to catch up now, I'm afraid I'll never be able to surpass him in this lifetime, let alone avenge you and Dad."
By now, even Tang San could no longer deceive himself into thinking that his twin spirits made his talent higher than Yang Yuan's.
After all, even Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong, who also possessed twin spirits, had fallen at his hands.
Fortunately, Tang San still had a trump card.
Besides his twin spirits, he also had Tang Sect Hidden Weapons!!
If one day he could Cultivate his spirit power to the level of a Rank 99 super Douluo and then forge the number one ranked Tang Sect Hidden Weapon, the Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus...
Then, he might have a chance to kill Yang Yuan and avenge his teacher and father.
Seeing the determined look in Tang San's eyes, Yu Xiaogang said in a deep voice, "Little San, go. Teacher supports your choice, but while you're out, you must take good care of yourself. Life is the priority, do you understand?"
Seeing how much Yu Xiaogang cared for him, Tang San was also filled with emotion.
"Teacher, I have remembered all your teachings. You must take care of yourself as well!"
"Little San~"
"Teacher~"
The two looked at each other affectionately—what a scene of deep master-Disciple bond!
...Heaven Dou Academy.
After the palace banquet ended, everyone from Heaven Dou Academy returned.
Upon returning to the academy, Dugu Yan immediately pulled Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong into her dormitory.
"Sister Yanzi, seeing how flustered you are, did something happen?"
Ning Rongrong asked curiously, and Ye Lingling also looked at her.
Dugu Yan took a deep breath and said, "My intuition tells me that His Highness the Crown Prince might have ill intentions toward Xiao Yuan."
"What?" Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling exclaimed.
"How is that possible? With Xiao Yuan's strength, the Crown Prince would be eager to win him over. Why would he have ill intentions toward him?"
"And even if the Crown Prince really wanted to have ill intentions toward Xiao Yuan, he doesn't have the ability to do so."
Ye Lingling said with a frown.
"I also can't think of any reason for the Crown Prince to have ill intentions toward Brother Xiao Yuan. Sister Yanzi, could you be overthinking things?" Ning Rongrong also shook her head.
Seeing their skeptical expressions, Dugu Yan explained irritably, "The reason I say the Crown Prince has ill intentions toward Little Brother Xiao Yuan is that I suspect he's taken a liking to him."
The two girls were stunned and asked instinctively, "What do you mean?"
"Literally. I suspect the Crown Prince doesn't like women, but likes men."
Dugu Yan's clear explanation immediately shocked Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong so much that they covered their mouths, their eyes full of shock, as if they had heard something unbelievable.
"The Crown Prince... likes men?"
"This... how is this possible!!"
Ye Lingling couldn't help but swallow, her voice stuttering.
Ning Rongrong also suddenly realized.
"Now that Sister Yanzi mentions it, Brother Qinghe seems to have never chosen a Crown Princess all these years."
"Could he really like men?"
The Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire actually likes men—this is too explosive!
Dugu Yan sighed, "I don't want it to be true either, but the way he looked at Little Brother Xiao Yuan was just too off. It's exactly the same way you two look at him, which forced me to believe this fact. That's why I want Xiao Yuan to have less contact with him."
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling both shuddered and said in unison, "You're right. We can't let Xiao Yuan (Brother) be influenced by him."
After their conversation, the three girls immediately formed the Guardian Alliance.
