Hearing Tang Hao's words.
Facing his idol, the man who dared to beat the Pope to death, Yu Xiaogang immediately lowered his stance and offered his respect, speaking respectfully: "Please, Your Excellency, speak. Yu Xiaogang will certainly tell you everything he knows!"
Tang Hao nodded slightly. His turbid eyes, like stagnant water, were dark and somber as he slowly began, "Why did that little brat Ye Qiu's cultivation suddenly increase so much?"
"..."
Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered. He recounted Ye Qiu's explanation in its entirety.
"Is that so...?"
Tang Hao's eyes revealed a hint of surprise as he turned to the side, looking down at Yu Xiaogang.
"What do you think, as the Grandmaster?"
"It's probably the truth."
Yu Xiaogang didn't dare to delay and truthfully relayed his and Tang San's judgments.
Tang Hao frowned and nodded. When he spoke again, his voice became colder.
"Another question."
Yu Xiaogang's body trembled.
He immediately felt a lot of pressure, and Tang Hao's questioning voice rang in his ears.
"Why, under your tutelage, is Xiao San's cultivation lagging behind that little brat by quite a bit? When he has already broken through to Soul Elder, Xiao San is still far behind."
Yu Xiaogang's expression turned panicked. He understood that Tang Hao was doubting his, the Grandmaster's, abilities. He hurriedly explained, "Your Excellency, regarding this matter, Xiao San once mentioned that it's all because of Ye Qiu's unique Martial Soul..."
"..."
Several days passed.
Ye Qiu was quite satisfied with his life these days. He spent his time playing with his little rabbit, and he had his beautiful wife to warm his bed, a lovely woman as a pillow.
He diligently cultivated every day and occasionally found time to spar with Tang San, or rather, to bully him. With Ye Qiu's current combat strength, even if Tang San pulled out the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, it wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Ever since he learned that Tang San had feelings for Xiao Wu, Ye Qiu would, intentionally or unintentionally, aim for Tang San's waist during their sparring sessions.
Notting Academy.
It was currently class time.
Ye Qiu was alone, taking a walk in the garden of Notting Academy.
Xiao Wu stuck to him like glue every day. Ye Qiu had to skip some tedious theory classes and come out for a walk to relax. Actually, this time, it was because Xiao Wu was getting handsy with him during class, and the single dog teacher couldn't take it anymore and kicked Ye Qiu out.
"Yahoo!"
Ye Qiu ran, jumped, and let out a strange cry to vent his frustration, kicking a stone on the ground.
Those single, menopausal teachers really weren't to be trifled with!
In an instant... Ye Qiu's hairs stood on end, and he immediately became alert.
"Ye Qiu!"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice entered Ye Qiu's ears, as if it had crossed the distance and sounded directly beside him, clear and distinct.
"Who, who's calling me?! That's an awful way to call someone!"
Ye Qiu shook his head, looking around but not seeing anyone. However, Tang Hao's surging Soul Power was incredibly conspicuous in Ye Qiu's eyes!
"Ye Qiu."
The voice sounded again, now with a hint of authority. "Damn it! Who's the idiot? If you're human, don't act like a dog. If you're a dog, bark twice!"
Ye Qiu remained calm, but his words were a bit angry, the laziness in his eyes only superficial. Deep within, a faint light flickered.
The voice spoke again, directing Ye Qiu, and now seemed a little impatient.
"I'm behind you!"
Behind him?!
Ye Qiu seemed to have just realized, and quickly turned around. A figure stood beneath the lush trees, causing Ye Qiu's pupils to shrink.
Black, tattered robes and messy, unkempt hair. The sunlight fell on Tang Hao's face, revealing a look of profound experience, with little light in his eyes.
Who else could it be but Tang Hao?
"Uncle Hao?!"
Ye Qiu was stunned, his body stiffening. He stared at Tang Hao with a strange expression. Without time to think much, he quickly reacted, his surprise turning to curiosity as he ran up to Tang Hao. It was as if only after getting closer that he could confirm it, his face filled with joy.
"Uncle Hao, it's really you! What are you doing here? Are you here to see San'er? He missed you so much after you left. He even took on a foster father, ah… no, a teacher, to replace you."
Ye Qiu got close and babbled on, feeling a bit uncomfortable all over, afraid to breathe. How could Uncle Hao be so stinky?! The smell of alcohol and sweat mixed together, souring to the point of disgust.
What a heady, stinky man!
Ye Qiu's originally cheerful smile couldn't help but become forced after getting closer.
Tang Hao lowered his head, his cloudy gaze scrutinizing Ye Qiu, noticing the 'faltering' smile on his face.
"Uncle Hao?"
Ye Qiu tilted his head, looking at him as if he were ready to be slaughtered.
Tang Hao nodded slightly, then shook his head. His thick lips parted, and a hoarse voice grated on the ears. "I am indeed here to see him, but I don't plan to meet up with San yet."
"Huh? Why is that?" Ye Qiu looked at Tang Hao, puzzled. Then he looked anxious, as if trying to bring the father and son together, and said urgently, "Uncle Hao, you're not angry that San has taken on a dry father, are you? San misses you very much. You don't know how lonely he's been in Holy Soul Village. Luckily, I'm here to keep him company."
"Yes, luckily you're here to keep him company."
Tang Hao nodded, and then he grabbed Ye Qiu by the back of the neck and lifted him up.
"Ah? Wait... Uncle Hao, what are you doing? Don't mess with me! I'm a respected Soul Master now, be careful or I'll deal with you." Ye Qiu's feet were off the ground, and he flailed his limbs, but he didn't use any soul power. He shouted, "Don't think I'm letting you lift me up! I'm just letting you!"
Seeing Ye Qiu's comical and nonsensical appearance, Tang Hao's expression relaxed a lot. He sneered, "Nothing much. I just want to ask you about how San has been doing these past few years."
Ye Qiu looked at him with a face full of resentment. "Uncle Hao, even if it's like this, you don't have to lift me up, right? Can't we just chat properly?"
"It's not convenient here." Tang Hao chuckled, then lifted Ye Qiu and dashed towards Notting Academy.
"Wow, Uncle Hao, you can actually fly!" Ye Qiu looked at the buildings below, his face showing a look of shock. "Uncle Hao, you're also a Soul Master?!"
"Quiet!"
Tang Hao let out a low growl, holding Ye Qiu, and his speed suddenly increased, like a streak of light, streaking across the sky above Notting City.
"Woah! Flying Uncle Hao, slow down!"
"It's too fast, my little body can't handle it, I'm going to break, wuuu~"
Ye Qiu, still complaining, felt the strong wind blowing towards him, constantly entering his mouth.
The cries wouldn't stop.
In his heart, he already understood Tang Hao's true objective.
It wasn't about wanting to know if Tang San was doing well; it was clearly about wanting the celestial herbs.
