Only Tang San could speak of being a simp so matter-of-factly.
Tang Hao's face turned green with rage, "Good! Good! Good!"
"You unfilial son! You're still so stubborn even now."
Tang San gritted his teeth, "Dad, don't you even believe your own son?"
"Bastard!"
Tang Hao pulled out a Willow Branch from somewhere and whipped it hard across Tang San's body.
"Unfilial son, do you know your mistake! Will you change!"
Tang San's face twisted in pain, but he didn't utter a sound.
He couldn't accept a life without Xiao Wu, and he certainly couldn't bear being separated from her.
Xiao Wu was such a wonderful girl; Tang San would never let her go.
"Dad... why..."
"Can't you just listen to me!"
At that moment, Tang San grit his teeth, a flicker of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
Seeing the ruthless glint in Tang San's eyes, Tang Hao felt terrible and slumped onto a chair.
"Sigh..."
"Xiao San, Xiao San, you must understand that I'm doing this for your own good."
"At this stage, you should focus on cultivation, not on matters of the heart."
"Matters of the heart won't affect me, Dad, you can rest assured."
"And... I'm devoted, not a simp," Tang San said firmly, his eyes resolute.
Unbeknownst to him, he was the clown.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Tang San, Tang Hao could only shake his head helplessly.
He knew that this bit of education wouldn't save the obstinate Tang San.
"Sigh..."
"Get lost, get lost! I don't want to see you anymore. Just looking at you annoys me."
Tang Hao suppressed the urge to hit Tang San, shouting at him.
He was afraid that if he looked at Tang San's face again, he wouldn't be able to stop himself from hitting him.
Tang San slowly stood up from the ground, gave Tang Hao a final look, and turned to leave without hesitation.
After this incident, a rift formed between father and son, a rift that would only grow wider with time.
If Tang San had the chance to pull the oxygen tube, he would do it without hesitation, giving Tang Hao a little shock.
What an ungrateful, disloyal son.
Watching Tang San's retreating figure, Tang Hao lowered his head and sighed.
"Sigh!"
He wasn't against Tang San pursuing Xiao Wu, it's just that his actions were really… unrefined.
After all, as a father, Tang Hao's beloved was also a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast! He also hoped his son would follow in his footsteps and marry a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, just like he did.
Too bad… Xiao Wu didn't seem to be into it!
"Ah Yin… I really owe you too much… even failed to educate my child…"
"I'm really a complete failure…"
Tang Hao's eyes were filled with disappointment as he picked up the wine flask and poured it into his mouth.
On the other side, Tang San left the house, standing still in place, at a loss.
He didn't know where he was going.
Just then, Old Jack walked over. "Tang San, why are you standing here?"
"Village Head... I was kicked out by my father."
"What?!" Old Jack was immediately furious. "Tang San, come with me. I'm going to have a word with Tang Hao."
"No matter what happens, you can't just kick a child out!"
Tang San shook his head. "It's alright, Village Head."
As the saying goes: a family's dirty laundry shouldn't be aired in public.
Tang San didn't want too many people to know about his affairs. He especially didn't want his story circulating around the village. He wouldn't be able to face anyone if that happened.
Just because of what he did at Notting Academy, one thing after another shocked Tang San's worldview.
"This…"
"Old Village Head, my father and I just had a quarrel, it's nothing."
Old Jack was silent for a moment. "Well, Tang San, you don't have a place to stay… If you don't mind, you can stay with me for a while." "Thank you, Old Village Head."
Notting Academy, Academic Affairs Office.
Seeing Su Yuntao coming to investigate, Director Su had a headache.
"Sir Enforcer, what brings you to our academy?"
Su Yuntao frowned. "What's the matter? You know perfectly well!"
"Tell me, where did Qingling go? Your academy should know, right?"
Director Su's eyelids twitched wildly. "Sir, our academy doesn't monitor the whereabouts of its students, so I don't know where Student Qingling went."
Su Yuntao looked at Director Su intently. "Is that so?"
"Of course, Sir. I wouldn't dare to lie to you."
"Hmph."
"Sir, regarding a genius like this, shouldn't the Spirit Hall..."
"That's none of your concern. Since you don't know where she is, I won't stay any longer."
"Farewell, Sir."
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Chen Qingling, Xiao Wu, and Ning Rongrong were soaking together in a warm, steaming bath.
"So warm..." Chen Qingling closed her eyes in enjoyment, not wanting to leave the bath at all; she wished she could stay there forever.
"Rongrong, you really live a good life."
Ning Rongrong playfully stuck out her tongue. "Really? Even you, Xiao Wu, think so? I think it's quite ordinary."
"Sister Qingling, look at her! Showing off right in front of us! It's infuriating!"
Xiao Wu pouted, her two rabbit ears turning red.
"Wow... calling her 'Sister Qingling' with every word, so sweet."
At this moment, Ning Rongrong leaned against Chen Qingling, a silly smile on her face.
"Then... should I also change how I address you? Should I call you Sister Qingling?"
Chen Qingling's forehead was covered in black lines. "Forget it, you're already used to calling me that."
"Sister Qingling~ Sister Qingling~"
Listening to the soft, coquettish voice, Chen Qingling couldn't take it anymore. "Stop, stop, stop."
"I still think it's better if you just call me Qingling, Rongrong. It feels so strange when you call me Sister Qingling."
Just then, Ning Rongrong caught a glimpse of Chen Qingling's chest.
"Oh my, I didn't expect you to have grown a little bit in the past six months! Not bad, not bad!"
Chen Qingling's face flushed red. "Rongrong, you..."
"What? You said it about me last time, so it's my turn this time."
Xiao Wu, always one to stir things up, came over. "Hehe, Sister Qingling has been worried about this for ages. She even took matters into her own hands..."
"Hard work pays off. You've finally made some progress~"
Faced with the teasing of the two girls, Chen Qingling's thin skin couldn't take it. Her face turned as red as a ripe apple, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"You... you two, stop it, it's so embarrassing."
"Hahaha."
In the bath, the three girls chatted and played, spending a full hour and a half washing before reluctantly putting on their clothes and leaving the bathroom.
At night, the cold wind rustled, blowing on Chen Qingling and the other two girls.
Chen Qingling slowly raised her hand, "The weather is getting colder."
"Yeah… the four seasons, finally it's going to be winter. The weather is unpredictable; it might be scorching hot yesterday, but today the cold wind is blowing."
"That's true, no wonder they give us a winter break."
"This year… I finally have like-minded friends, to watch the snow together."
Ning Rongrong's face was filled with a smile, a sweetly adorable smile.
This was a wish she had always dreamed of, and it was finally going to be realized this year.
It felt so good to have friends. She really wanted time to stop at this moment.
