Douluo: Yu Hao Pan Tang San

Chapter 166, Section 184: When Xiao Wu Learned Tang San's Father's Name
Yu Xiaogang quickly noticed that Tang San wasn't focusing on cultivation; he was spending most of his time hanging out with Xiao Wu.

Tang San's lack of effort in cultivation directly impacted Yu Xiaogang's own interests. He cursed inwardly: "That bitch is ruining my disciple."

At Notting City Academy, work-study students are generally considered to be born of "mud-blooded" individuals. These are the people Yu Xiaogang despises and envies the most (why am I, born into nobility, a useless person with a reversed martial soul, while you mud-blooded people can evolve powerful martial souls through mutation). Therefore, in Yu Xiaogang's eyes, Xiao Wu's behavior is that of a scheming boy trying to seduce Tang San while he is still young, hoping to ride on his coattails and become his wife.

Several times, Yu Xiaogang advised Tang San to focus his energy on cultivation and not waste it on women. However, Tang San ignored Yu Xiaogang's advice and continued to happily linger around Xiao Wu.

Helpless, Yu Xiaogang secretly met with Xiao Wu. With his hands behind his back, he said in a condescending tone, "This classmate, Tang San's future heights are beyond your imagination, and his background is not something you can touch. You are not worthy of him. For your own good and for his own good, please don't delay his cultivation. Please stay away from him, okay?"

Little Rabbit's ears drooped, and she said softly, "I understand, Master."

"Good that you understand." Yu Xiaogang nodded arrogantly. Although Xiao Wu's soul power was innately full, making her a rare genius, the Soft Bone Rabbit was still a trash martial soul. Moreover, Xiao Wu didn't have a second martial soul to back her up, so her future achievements wouldn't be higher than Tang San's. He originally thought he would have to use a lot of words, but he didn't expect Xiao Wu to be so understanding.

After a slap, he offered a sweet treat. So, Yu Xiaogang gave the best reward he could: "If you do as I say and stay away from mistresses, I won't mind adding you to my list of disciples. When necessary, I'll give you some key guidance. I believe that with the guidance of me, the number one theoretical master in the Soul Master world, you'll avoid some detours in the Soul Master field."

"Thank you very much, Master," Xiao Wu said.

Then, Xiao Wu really did distance herself from Tang San as Yu Xiaogang had requested.

Tang San also noticed Xiao Wu's change and started looking for problems within himself, but he still couldn't understand why his little sister Xiao Wu was distancing herself from him.

Finally, one day, Tang San couldn't help but call out to Xiao Wu and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, why are you distancing yourself from me? What did I do wrong? Tell me, and I will definitely change."

Xiao Wu said guiltily, "Ah San, this isn't your fault, it's Xiao Wu's fault. Your teacher reminded Xiao Wu not to let it affect your cultivation, so..."

"What—" Tang San's eyes immediately turned red, and he was panting heavily.

Gangzi, this good-for-nothing is starting to give me advice on important matters in my life. Where do you get the nerve? What right do you have?

Tang San immediately turned around and went to find Yu Xiaogang.

"If you want this to be the last time I call you teacher, then go ahead and interfere in my affairs with Xiao Wu, Gangzi—" Tang San warned with disgust.

“Mistress—” Yu Xiaogang said with heartache, “I’m doing this all for your own good. Why can’t you understand my good intentions?”

“I don’t need your pretentious concern for me, Gangzi—” Tang San said bluntly, “Remember, you are just my nominal teacher. We are far from being able to interfere in my important life matters. Remember your place and know your place.”

After saying that, Tang San turned his face away and rushed out, leaving Yu Xiaogang heartbroken behind him.

“Little San, you’ve even started calling me Gangzi. Have you stopped respecting your teacher?”

Afterwards, Yu Xiaogang indeed stopped interfering in the matters between Xiao Wu and Tang San. Tang San thought his warning had worked, making Yu Xiaogang understand his true role. But who is our Gangzi? Tang San is a man with innate full soul power and twin martial souls, the Clear Sky Hammer. How could Yu Xiaogang be satisfied with just being a superficial master and disciple?

Tang San's warning not only failed to make Yu Xiaogang understand his identity and position, but on the contrary, it made Yu Xiaogang feel even more insecure.

So, Yu Xiaogang also began to use his own methods.

He would tell everyone that Tang San was his highly trained disciple, that he was the one who led Tang San into the sect, and that he would act like a close master and disciple in front of outsiders. He would ask Tang San to come to his place for tutoring every day, but Tang San was unwilling to go, so Yu Xiaogang would come to his door in person to tutor Tang San.

Yu Xiaogang has a wealth of knowledge, making him suitable as an introductory teacher in the field of Soul Masters. However, Tang San had already learned it once in his previous life, and now he has to listen to Yu Xiaogang repeat it all again in this life, which is simply torture.

The key issue is that Tang San doesn't have a solution yet. He's someone who likes to create a persona for himself, and respecting his teachers is one of his personas. He's unlikely to turn against Yu Xiaogang in front of outsiders until he's about to kick Yu Xiaogang out of the way.

Thus, Tang San became known throughout the entire Notting City Soul Master Academy as Yu Xiaogang's top disciple.

The first semester's vacation arrived, and Tang San couldn't wait to invite Xiao Wu to his home, which Xiao Wu naturally agreed to.

Tang San was very happy. He still remembered his past life. It was because of this incident that he made a promise to Xiao Wu that moved heaven and earth. It was from this incident that he and Xiao Wu established their relationship, and then gradually went from being siblings to husband and wife.

However, Tang San was unaware that this trip would be the beginning of his nightmare.

After Tang San brought Xiao Wu back to Holy Soul Village, Tang Hao was no longer home. Although he knew where his father had gone, he still asked Old Jack as usual.

Old Jack said, "That drunkard Tang Hao, I don't know where he went, but he left you a note." After saying that, he handed the note to Tang San.

The contents of the note are not important; what is truly important is "Tang Hao".

Upon hearing the name Tang Hao, Xiao Wu immediately became alert, and her rabbit eyes turned red.

Xiao Wu clearly remembers that the enemy who killed her mother was named Tang Hao.

While Tang San was reading the note and Old Jack went out, Xiao Wu took the opportunity to slip out and approach Old Jack, where she began to ask him about Tang San's father.

"Little girl, you want to ask about Tang Hao, it's not because you've taken a fancy to his mistress, is it?" Old Jack said.

Xiao Wu blushed and acted coy, but Old Jack immediately seemed to see through everything:
"I knew your relationship was special; Tang San's father is one of them."
