Holy Soul Village.
Tang Hao watched Tang San as he walked away, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
"Sigh..."
"He's still Ah Yin's child, her bloodline. I can't just leave him to his own devices."
Thinking about how his rebellious son, Tang San, had infuriated him repeatedly during this break, Tang Hao felt helpless.
He really couldn't understand it.
What kind of charm did Xiao Wu possess?
Enough to completely captivate his son's soul? Even to the point of severing their relationship!
But to be fair, it was very much in line with the Tang family style. The women they chose were all hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
"This unfilial son really makes me worry."
I thought I'd only need to watch for a little while, but it seems like it'll be a long, long time.
Tang Hao followed behind Tang San, carrying a wine pot.
"Xiao Wu..."
Xiao Wu forced a smile. "Sister Qingling, I'm fine. Everyone has things on their mind."
Chen Qingling looked at her with concern and opened her arms, embracing Xiao Wu.
"Mmm..."
"You can always talk to me about anything that's on your mind. I'm here to listen."
Arriving at the gates of Notting Academy, Chen Qingling, as usual, took Xiao Wu's hand.
After paying the driver and getting out of the carriage, they walked into the familiar yet foreign academy.
Seeing the two of them return, Wang Sheng's eyes lit up. "Sister Qingling! Sister Xiao Wu!"
Xiao Wu chuckled, looking at Wang Sheng bundled up in thick clothes.
"Seriously, you're already a Spirit Master? And you're still cold?"
Wang Sheng gave a wry smile. "Ugh, it's not my fault. My parents forced me to wear this. They aren't Spirit Masters and don't understand the nuances."
"So, they just made me wear this. It's all my parents' good intentions, and I don't want to hurt their feelings."
"When I become an outstanding Soul Master, I must take good care of my parents and repay them for raising me."
Look at Wang Sheng, how upright his values are! And then look at Tang San?
Whether he'll be filial or not is another matter, but he's already acting like a great son.
Bang!
At that moment, Tang San pushed open the door with a gloomy expression, carrying his luggage back to his bed.
Suddenly, the cheerful atmosphere was ruined by Tang San.
Wang Sheng frowned. "Tang San, is it necessary to make so much noise when you enter the dormitory? Don't you know how to be quiet? Don't you know you'll disturb people?"
Tang San's eyes were cold, and he retorted without any politeness, "Get lost. I'm not interested in chatting with you. It's not your dormitory alone, I can do whatever I want."
"You..." Wang Sheng hesitated, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Xiao Wu, who already had a bad relationship with Tang San, was like a rabbit whose fur had been blown up.
"You really are a cold, heartless, and selfish guy!"
"You only think of yourself and don't care about the people in the dorm at all."
Tang San was rendered speechless by the criticism. Meeting Xiao Wu's eyes, which were filled with loathing, he lowered his proud head.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it just now, Xiao Wu, don't be angry."
"Blame my terrible family."
Chen Qingling's big eyes were filled with disbelief. She never expected that someone would curse their own family? This…this isn't right! No matter how bad the family environment was, you shouldn't say that, right? What did you think of your family?
Tang Hao, who was secretly protecting Tang San, almost lost it and was about to appear. He almost pulled out the Seven Wolf spirit from his waist to give Tang San a good lesson.
"Is that even human language?"
A rotten family? He was called rotten himself, wasn't he? And Ah Yin, whom he had never even met, was also being insulted.
What a complete animal!
Oh no, even calling him an animal would be an insult to animals; at least animals know how to be grateful better than Tang San does.
"You're simply... beyond help..." Chen Qingling shook her head, not bothering to argue with Tang San anymore.
There was absolutely no need to waste words on someone like him; he didn't deserve to hear them.
Xiao Wu's eyes were full of contempt, and her impression of Tang San worsened.
The more you dislike someone, the easier it is to see their flaws.
And the looks the other work-study students in the dorm gave Tang San changed as well.
Tang San, already not very likable, became even less so at that moment.
Seeing the scene, Tang San's heart immediately skipped a beat, clearly realizing his words had been a bit too much.
"That... you guys..."
"Listen, I didn't mean it like that..."
However, Tang San's attempts at explanation didn't attract anyone's attention; everyone avoided looking at him.
If they weren't in the same dormitory, they would have wanted to stay far away from Tang San.
"You..."
Tang San looked at the people deliberately distancing themselves from him, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He originally wanted to swear, but considering Xiao Wu was present, he gave up.
His image was already bad enough; he couldn't make it worse, or he'd truly have no way to rebuild his relationship with Xiao Wu.
Tang San returned to his bed, dejected, occasionally glancing in Xiao Wu's direction.
Seeing Xiao Wu and Chen Qingling chatting and laughing together, Tang San was envious and jealous.
Why! Why were their relationship so good, always laughing and talking!
And himself… always the one getting hurt? Had he really made a mistake? A mistake? This question constantly bothered Tang San. He felt he wasn't wrong; they were clearly the ones at fault! Tang San once again blamed everything on Chen Qingling.
Without her, everything would have gone in a positive direction!
It was all her fault!!! The seeds of hatred took root in Tang San's heart, destined to grow strong one day.
Dong dong dong.
The door to the work-study student dormitory opened, and the dormitory manager, a middle-aged woman, looked around. "Has Student Chen Qingling arrived yet?"
"I'm here." Chen Qingling, who had been on her bed, immediately got up and went to the door.
"Good, I'm glad you're here. Director Su asked me to inform you to go to the Academic Affairs Office."
"Oh, thank you, Dorm Manager." Chen Qingling walked to the Academic Affairs Office with a light step.
"Student Qingling, you're here..." Director Su saw Chen Qingling's arrival and quickly stood up to greet her, without any airs of a leader.
"Director Su, did you need something?"
"Yes, something concerning you."
"Me?" Chen Qingling felt slightly puzzled. What could it be about her? She had just come back, and hadn't caused any trouble? What could it be?
"It's like this, Student Qingling, your talent is exceptional, and the Spirit Hall is keeping a close eye on you."
"Director Su, you're talking about this? I know, it's not a big deal, right?"
Chen Qingling blinked her innocent eyes, unaware that the world could be a dark place; it was just something she hadn't encountered yet.
Director Su shook his head. "You don't understand. Talents like you, Student Qingling, who don't join the Spirit Hall, can't be used by the Spirit Hall."
"The Spirit Hall might resort to underhanded tactics against you."
"Ah?! Underhanded tactics?"
"The Spirit Hall… such a powerful force wouldn't do something like that…"
After hearing Director Su's words, Chen Qingling found it hard to believe.
Until he saw Director Su's stern face, he realized that things were probably real.
"Then… then I…"
Director Su waved his hand, "You don't need to worry about your safety for now. As long as you're in the academy, the Spirit Hall won't interfere."
