Chapter 338: Chapter 336: Tang San Laughs to Death, Is Xu Ran Digging His Own Grave?_1
"Tang San, you said all your hidden weapons were researched with your own sweat and solitary effort, but do you have any evidence?"
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi also looked at Tang San with suspicion.
Previously, he couldn't understand why Tang San was so formidable, mastering such exquisite things at a young age. Now it seemed he sort of understood; it was because these were originally Xu Ran's research, which Tang San had completely plagiarized.
"Evidence? This is originally my work, what evidence is needed?" Tang San's chest heaved, his heartbeat quickened, and he was directly angered into laughter. Even if he had stolen the hidden weapons of the Tang Sect, they were still items of the Tang Sect. So what was Xu Ran trying to do now, rob him?
"Tang San, you were born into poverty, living in Saint Soul Village, unable to afford even a decent piece of clothing. Even after becoming a Soul Master, you could barely make ends meet with the stipend provided by the Martial Soul Hall."
"And to successfully research hidden weapons, one must go through countless experiments, countless failures before slowly finding the way. Where did you get the money to support your research on hidden weapons?" Xu Ran said loudly. Tang San's explanation had no persuasiveness at all.
Unless Tang San claimed he was reborn in Soul Land, Ning Fengzhi and the others might still believe him. But even that wasn't certain, after all, the idea of reincarnation was too fantastical.
Besides, Tang San would never dare to reveal it, as the secret of his rebirth was his biggest trump card.
"Exactly, Tang San, even if you say you can research hidden weapons, and that you're a genius who began studying from birth, where did your money come from?" Ning Rongrong said, clinging to Xu Ran and loudly berating him, quite protective of her husband.
The moment she heard that Xu Ran's painstaking research had been outright stolen by Tang San, who also adamantly denied it, she was furious.
Is there anyone more shameful than Tang San?
He stole someone's work and yet brazenly claimed it as his own.
Initially, Xu Ran had not taken these hidden weapons seriously; if Tang San had stolen them, so be it. But he never expected Tang San to be so shameless, stealing Xu Ran's designs for hidden weapons and then turning against Xu Ran and her. This behavior wasn't just shameless.
Tang San, simply despicable, couldn't be more different from Xu Ran.
Xu Ran was indeed the most outstanding, the most righteous and good-hearted being, while Tang San was the embodiment of evil and pettiness. Compared side by side, they were the extremes of good and bad.
"I'm so pissed off…"
Confronted with such questioning by Ning Rongrong, Tang San was completely flustered.
How could he not explain himself?
Clearly these hidden weapons were his, and even if he had learned them from the Tang Sect, it had nothing to do with Xu Ran. But now, with Xu Ran setting the narrative, he just couldn't clear things up.
The deep mastery he had over hidden weapons was all because in his past life he had studied extensively in the Tang Sect, becoming extremely proficient with the Tang Sect's hidden weapons. His mastery had nothing to do with this world. But how could he explain now? Should he say that all his expertise in hidden weapons was the result of his lifelong diligence in his past life?
Who would believe such words?
He couldn't reveal that either, for everything about his previous life was his greatest secret and ace up his sleeve.
"Tang San, have you still not admitted it even now? I'll give you plenty of time to think of a perfect explanation," Xu Ran said mockingly, finding a place to sit and quietly watching Tang San's performance.
Ning Rongrong stood dutifully behind Xu Ran, demurely massaging his shoulders. Her long hair fell across her cheeks, trailing onto her litchi-smooth skin, quite enticing. Her outerwear and pants were both pink, making her all the more adorable.
Seeing this scene, Ning Fengzhi could only shake his head—the wilfulness of a grown daughter. But fortunately, the betrothal gifts from Xu Ran were quite generous. Rongrong wouldn't be at a loss following Xu Ran.
"Tang San, have you thought this through?" Xu Ran shook his leg, took out an apple, and began munching on it leisurely as he looked at Tang San indifferently. He knew that Tang San, even with his eloquent tongue, definitely couldn't explain the origin of the hidden weapon in his hand.
"Xu Ran, what do you want? You don't know how to make hidden weapons. How could you possibly steal your so-called 'research achievements'?"
"I can make hidden weapons, can you? If not, what gives you the right to say I stole your stuff?"
Suddenly, Tang San was ecstatic, all traces of gloom on his face disappeared, replaced by an intense excitement!
He was about to laugh like a fool!
This time he would give Xu Ran a good pitfall to fall into!
Just now, he had been caught up in Xu Ran's way of thinking, struggling with how to explain the origin of his hidden weapon. Why should he even bother explaining? Hadn't Xu Ran said that all his, Tang San's, hidden weapons were stolen from him? So all he had to do was prove his skills in making hidden weapons were better than Xu Ran's, right?
Haha, Xu Ran was digging his own grave!
With Tang San's years of studying hidden weapons, what could Xu Ran possibly have to compare with him?
It was hysterical!
"Xu Ran, if you've got the guts, let's have a contest in the craftsmanship of hidden weapons?" Tang San said with a smiling face, glancing at Ning Rongrong behind Xu Ran. Xu Ran, that rich dog, had women around him that were all beautiful, and they were all hopelessly devoted to him, serving him so well.
What luxury!
If his Xiaowu hadn't been taken away by Xu Ran, perhaps he would have already been living such a blissful and satisfying life. Xu Ran had ruined his whole life.
Thinking of his Precious Xiao Wu still living in dire straits and often being ruthlessly trodden by Xu Ran, he couldn't remain calm.
He didn't believe that Xu Ran wouldn't show any weaknesses, and when Xu Ran did, he would expose his evil deeds.
But Tang San was wishful thinking. Even if Xiaowu knew that Xu Ran had been deceiving her all along, intentionally making her hate him, she would continue to love Xu Ran just the same. After all, it had been so many days, and she had already developed a physiological dependence.
Could Xu Ran go on for three days and nights, and could anyone else do the same?
Even though it sometimes hurt to death, the pain and the ecstatic feeling of wanting to ascend to heaven happened at the same time. Otherwise, how would one explain the phrase 'the agony and the ecstasy'?
Moreover, Er Long had noticed last time and had asked Xu Ran if he had intentionally set up Brock and destroyed Brock's Martial Soul. Xu Ran admitted it honestly, but Er Long didn't dislike Xu Ran in the slightest, merely coquettishly saying, "You're so bad."
After that incident, even if the man was a bit bad, it would appear as a special trait of personal charm in their eyes. So Tang San should stop dreaming; Xiaowu was already well acquainted with Xu Ran's size.
If she really switched men, Xiaowu would only feel an empty void, from a stick to chopsticks, who could handle it?
"Fine. I'm glad to hear that."
"You first. I'll let you make it for half an hour first, then I'll start."
Xu Ran said, seeing the joyous smile on Tang San's face, he couldn't bear to crush his spirits. Did Tang San think the 'hidden weapon mastery' he had just maxed out was for show?
