In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 278 Tang San is repeatedly mocked by Xiao Wu

After all, this was still at Notting Academy, and perhaps because it was lunchtime, the senior students didn't continue their mockery. They simply went up the stairs to the second floor.

As Xiao Wu watched their figures gradually disappear from sight, her temper flared up instantly.

As a dignified young dancer, how could she tolerate others mocking or gossiping at her and then calmly walking away? She immediately turned to chase after them.

Just then, as expected, our third sister, who strictly adheres to the "Tang Clan Rules," stopped her, saying with a mature and amiable expression:

"Never mind, we came here to eat."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with a disdainful gaze, and, along with her pent-up anger, cursed at him:

"Why are you so timid? You're like a green-haired turtle. Why weren't you this friendly when you were making things difficult for me and Yuhao at the entrance of Dormitory 7?"

"In my opinion, you're nothing but a cowardly bully who preys on the weak, a hypocrite!"

Xiao Wu's words seemed to strike a nerve with Tang San. His eyes immediately turned bloodshot and he began to pant heavily, but he quickly forced himself to calm down.

He was not wrong; he was clearly right.

Tang San thought to himself.

He simply disdained to argue with those little brats. Xiao Wu's inability to understand him only shows that she is still "young" and innocent, so it's no wonder she's not to blame...

It has to be said that Tang San never considered that, as a child on the surface, he only needed to act according to the natural behavior of someone his age. Insisting on acting like a mature person, trying to appear magnanimous by not being petty, only led to unnecessary unhappiness.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang appeared on the first floor of the cafeteria. Tang San paused for a moment and then walked towards him.

"Teacher, you've come to eat too."

Yu Xiaogang nodded and casually asked, "Is everything packed?"

Tang San nodded: "Thank you for the bedding, teacher."

Yu Xiaogang felt somewhat gratified upon seeing this, thinking that a young genius of this age was indeed not hard to fool, just like how he had treated his eldest disciple who was initially somewhat unruly. He only needed to give him a little bit of heartwarming help in his daily life to make him grateful to him.

Although the help he gave to his eldest disciple, whose family was quite wealthy, was barely anything, the disciple was very loyal and valued his kindness, always considering it a small gift but a great sentiment, and never looked down on him.

Looking at Tang San again, Yu Xiaogang realized that he came from a poor background. With the occasional small acts of kindness and comforting words she gave him, winning over his heart was a piece of cake.

Yu Xiaogang was once again satisfied with her own wisdom, but also felt a little regretful.

It's a pity, a real pity. He himself wasn't some kind of top expert. Otherwise, with his unparalleled strength and "unrivaled" wisdom, he thought dominating the continent would be incredibly easy.

Yu Xiaogang then patted Tang San on the shoulder and said, "Come with me to the second floor for dinner, and then I'll show you my place."

Tang San naturally shook his head at this.

"No, teacher, I'd rather eat with my roommates."

Just kidding. If things were normal, it would be fine, but now that so many things have changed, the first one to be affected is Huo Yuhao, who is always around his (self-proclaimed) lover Xiao Wu. How could he possibly walk away now and give the two of them space to communicate and deepen their relationship?

After all, he wasn't stupid. Although today was also his first meeting with Xiao Wu, even if he didn't want to admit it, he could clearly see that Xiao Wu was closer to Huo Yuhao, who had met her before him, and her attitude towards him seemed to be less than that towards Wang Sheng and the other ordinary work-study students.

Hearing Tang San's answer, Yu Xiaogang didn't insist. She nodded and said, "Okay, you did the right thing. Go ahead. Wait for me at the cafeteria entrance after you finish eating." After saying that, she walked towards the second floor.

Huo Yuhao watched this scene silently from behind, thinking to himself, "Is that the legendary teacher of Tang San, the future famous master, and also the ancestor of Elder Mu... Yu Xiaogang?"

It doesn't seem like it's that impressive.

He shook his head, dismissing the thought, realizing that Yu Xiaogang must have some special qualities that he hadn't noticed. After all, true masters don't reveal their abilities. If Yu Xiaogang really didn't have any skills, how could he be Tang San's teacher?

As he pondered this, Huo Yuhao's gaze darkened slightly, as if he were thinking of something again.

Just then, Wang Sheng walked up to Tang San and asked, "Do you know Master Tang?"

Upon seeing this, Tang San's eyes flashed with a strange light, but he still nodded.

"He is my teacher."

Wang Sheng then said with a strange expression, "No way, you actually became a disciple of the great master?"

"His strength isn't that great. In our academy, Master is just a guest figure. It's said that he only stayed in the academy because of his good relationship with the dean. To put it bluntly, he's just a freeloader. I heard that Master is almost fifty years old and still hasn't broken through to the Great Soul Master realm, and his martial soul is only level twenty-nine. I'm afraid he'll never break through again in his lifetime."

Hearing this, Tang San couldn't help but nod in agreement. Yu Xiaogang was indeed a good-for-nothing... As for openly admitting it, he certainly wouldn't.

He glanced discreetly at Xiao Wu, who was standing not far behind him, thinking that it was time to show his character. He wanted Xiao Wu to know how noble, pure, and righteous he, Tang San, was compared to Huo Yuhao, that guy who looked like a blockhead.

Tang San raised his head and looked at Wang Sheng seriously.

"If you don't want to spar with me again, please don't make unwarranted comments about my teacher. This is the first time, and I hope it's the last. Thank you for your kindness, but I think you don't need to treat me!"

After saying that, Tang San turned around and walked out of the cafeteria with an air of nonchalance.

As his body passed by Xiao Wu, Huo Yuhao, and the other work-study students, his ears perked up, and he glanced back, wanting to investigate them, and more importantly, Xiao Wu's reaction to his actions.

She must think she's very tall and mighty...

Tang San couldn't help but smile to himself.

However, at this moment, he first heard Wang Sheng's complaints.

"This is ridiculous... Is this kid crazy?"

A "well" character suddenly appeared on Tang San's forehead.

You have already chosen the path to your death!

Before he could react, Xiao Wu's mocking words followed.

"Wang Sheng, you're right. According to what you've said, Tang San, as a genius, taking a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat and drink for free as his teacher, does seem to have some serious illness."
