Chương 21: Chapter 20 Full of Tricks_1
Tang San frowned as he looked at Xu Ran.
By now, he had clarified the relationship between Xu Ran and Xiaowu.
Xiaowu might come from some major power, with an extraordinary identity. And Xu Ran was also from this major power. That's why Xiaowu trusted Xu Ran so much. Moreover, the most critical point was that this Xu Ran also harbored lustful thoughts toward Xiaowu.
Xu Ran even tricked him, making him misunderstand Xiaowu, and had Xiaowu send him a green hat to sabotage their relationship. Having figured all this out, Tang San revealed a hint of a smile. Fortunately, he had awakened early; otherwise, he really might have fallen for Xu Ran's tricks. If a rift were to form between him and Xiaowu, Xu Ran would take advantage of the situation.
But now, why is Xu Ran asking about his father, Tang Hao? Tang San fell into deep contemplation once more. Xu Ran's schemes were too many, and he had almost misunderstood Xiaowu three times. Now, by asking about his father, was he laying another trap?
"Xu Ran, what exactly do you want?" Tang San's brow furrowed, and as he glanced at Xiaowu beside him, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of heartache. He wished he could step forward and give Xu Ran a good beating. His relationship with Xiaowu was so good, yet Xu Ran was trying to destroy it. Was that even human?
It's not like there aren't any beautiful girls under the heavens. Why did he have to cuckhold him?
By now, he harbored no negative emotions toward Xiaowu; even he was almost tricked by Xu Ran, so how could Xiaowu not be deceived by Xu Ran? It was their first meeting, and he had been led around by the nose. Xiaowu was familiar with Xu Ran, so it was perfectly normal for her to be swayed by his beguiling words.
"Your father is a good-for-nothing, hiding in Saint Soul Village and forging iron his entire life. And you're even more worthless, not even daring to acknowledge your own origins," Xu Ran said, clearly seeing the anger in Tang San's eyes.
Origins?
Tang San was startled, and suddenly understood Xu Ran's purpose. He wanted Xiaowu to know how ordinary and common his background was, so that she would scorn him and then leave him.
At that thought, Tang San laughed.
He laughed because Xu Ran didn't understand Xiaowu.
What use were Xu Ran's countless schemes and machinations?
He didn't understand Xiaowu. Wasn't it Tang San who had been by Xiaowu's side all these six years? Xu Ran couldn't even comprehend Xiaowu's thoughts.
How could Xiaowu be that kind of person?
If Xiaowu were someone who coveted fame and wealth, she wouldn't have abandoned the resources of a major power to come to a little place like Nuoding Academy.
"Yes, my father is Tang Hao. Although I come from an ordinary background and a poor family, so what? I will try my best to become stronger, and when I become a powerful person, I will naturally possess those things. 'Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west,' do not bully the young for being poor," Tang San's eyes lifted, looking at Xu Ran. His back was straight, and when he spoke the saying about not bullying the young, his gaze brimmed with a piercing light.
What Xiaowu liked was a person's character, not their family background or identity. Although he came from humble origins, this outstanding performance could strongly attract Xiaowu's attention. Xu Ran's dream of using plots and schemes to steal Xiaowu away from him was simply delusional. Because what Xiaowu hated most were those who engaged in conspiracies and tricks.
Such people, how shameless? How could Xiaowu possibly fancy someone like that?
Tang San lost in his thoughts, a smile spread across his face. Right now, he was completely unaware of Xiaowu's dimmed gaze at this moment.
And Xu Ran was almost laughing so hard that he could have snorted like a pig. Did Tang San really think he was Xiao Yan from next door? Putting on airs here. Although Xu Ran considered himself a villain too, Tang San wanted to take him down? In his dreams.
"Xu Ran, are you trying to trick me again?" Tang San was somewhat dumbfounded as he suddenly realized that Xiaowu's eyes, looking at him now, seemed to have changed. They had become different. They were no longer tender and affectionate, but rather as if she was looking at a stranger.
His heart skipped a beat, then was engulfed by towering rage. He couldn't understand what had gone wrong. What the hell had that shameless Xu Ran said to Xiaowu? Why had Xiaowu changed like this?
Unable to restrain himself, Tang San grabbed Xu Ran by the sleeve, his aura pressing down on Xu Ran.
A dragon has reverse scales, touching them means death. And Xiaowu was Tang San's reverse scale. Xu Ran, by leading Xiaowu astray and undermining their relationship, had crossed Tang San's bottom line.
"How have I tried to trick you? If you're innocent in your heart, how could I have tricked you?" Xu Ran said indifferently, kicking Tang San away with the flick of a foot. Tang San's strength had not yet reached that of a Soul Elder, how could he stand against him? Especially after gaining the Kylin Bloodline, his physique had greatly improved. With just the strength of his body, he could match a Soul Elder.
And Tang San's current Martial Soul was merely Blue Silver Grass, which, even with the bloodline of the Bluesilver Emperor, was pathetically weak.
"How can you be so strong?" Tang San exclaimed in shock as he looked at Xu Ran. Xu Ran seemed to be about his age, yet his strength was unfathomable. Neither had unleashed their Martial Soul. But he had Tang Sect's Secret Skills, and yet he was still kicked away.
He hadn't even had time to react in the slightest.
The speed of that kick was clearly to the extreme.
"A mere Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul, it's basically trash. Could I not be your match?" Xu Ran sneered dismissively, finding Tang San somewhat laughable. In this world, Tang San was no longer the top cheater. What of Tang Sect's Secret Skills? What of Twin Martial Souls? In front of him, they were but a joke.
"You..." Anger began to stir in Tang San's chest. He was a genius with Twin Martial Souls, yet he was being despised so. The Blue Silver Grass was only his facade, after all. What did Xu Ran know? Once he became a Titled Douluo and filled all his soul rings of the Hao Tian Hammer, he would stand at the very top of the Continent.
"Enough, both of you stop arguing." Xiaowu said, feeling a sense of despair in her heart. But when Tang San personally admitted his father was Tang Hao, her heart sunk once more. Previously, she was not sure that Tang Hao was Tang San's father, as Tang San had never told her about his family, nor had she asked. But now, with Tang San revealing it himself, could there be any doubt?
Perhaps Tang San had come to Notting City as a Part-Time Student under Tang Hao's guidance. With a Titled Douluo as his father, yet calmly becoming a Part-Time Student. Hehe, for her soul ring and soul bone, Tang San really was willing.
To forego wealth and honor without enjoying it, to pose as a penniless Part-Time Student. Even when he first arrived at Nuoding Academy, he wore patched-up clothes to lower her guard.
Tang Hao and Tang San really had a good plan.
But then again, what on earth could be more important than a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and a soul bone? Tang San was a genius, and if he killed her to take her soul ring and soul bone, who knows how powerful he'd become in the future.
"Brother, this is the last time I'll call you brother. If you truly have a clear conscience, then put on this hat. Otherwise, let's just make a clean break now." Xiaowu took a deep breath, and when her beautiful eyes looked towards Tang San, they had already turned somewhat icy.
