In the hotel's top-floor room.
The group watched the projected image cast by Su Yan; seeing Tang San fleeing in utter disarray on the screen, their expressions turned rather strange.
Ridiculous!
This Scarface was truly fierce, actually scaring Tang San away directly.
Then again,
who wouldn't take to their heels if they ran into something like this?
Light Feather Douluo suddenly spoke up and suggested, "Why don't we just do Tang San as well..."
"Cough, cough, cough!!"
The moment Light Feather Douluo said this, the crowd around him instantly choked.
Absurd.
Truly absurd.
Is this old fellow trying to follow in Chrysanthemum Douluo's footsteps?
Chrysanthemum Douluo also looked toward Su Yan at this moment.
Su Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said,
"His crimes don't warrant such punishment."
"Tang San isn't like Yu Xiaogang. At least the Tang San of our Douluo 1 World is different from Yu Xiaogang, so we won't use those moves meant for Yu Xiaogang on him."
Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded and said, "Then we won't have Scarface target him. I'll arrange for someone to lure Tang San away in Tang Hao's name shortly."
"That way, Yu Xiaogang will be completely in Scarface's grasp for the next few days."
Su Yan nodded, then turned to Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the others, asking,
"You guys aren't planning to head back? Are you planning to stay and watch the upcoming show together too?"
Hearing Su Yan's words, Qian Daoliu and his group exchanged looks and said with straight faces,
"Well, since we're already here."
"Since we're already here, we might as well watch... I mean, learn a bit."
"Ah, right, right, right! We have no interest in these shows; we simply admire Chrysanthemum Douluo's talent and stayed behind to learn."
"Exactly!"
Everyone in the Group Chat was dumbfounded at this moment as well.
[Dugu Yan: I literally got goosebumps all over!]
[Ning Rongrong: That scared me. I thought Tang San was going to be ruined as well!]
[Zhu Zhuqing: I feel like it's only because Su Yan is here today. If it were just Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others, Tang San might really have been dragged into it.]
[Bai Chenxiang: I can't take this anymore, guys.]
[Ma Xiaotao: Hahaha!!]
[Wang Dong'er: Then Su Yan, if the Tang San of Douluo 1 doesn't deserve this, can we arrange it for the Tang San of Douluo 2?]
[Everyone:???]
...
Late at night.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the sharp sound of whistling air rang out as an arrow shot in through the window.
Tang San woke up with a start from his sleep and shouted in alarm,
"Who is it?"
The room was dead silent; there was only an additional arrow, with a rolled-up white slip of paper tied to it.
Tang San felt a jolt in his heart. As if thinking of something, he hastily untied the rolled slip from the arrow and opened it to examine it.
"Xiao San, come quickly to Shrek in Soto City."
There was no name signed at the bottom of the slip, but a hammer was drawn there.
Seeing this familiar form of address, Tang San felt a surge of joy.
Could it be Father?
Tang San then took out paper and brush, left a letter for Yu Xiaogang in the hotel, and immediately set out for Soto City.
Although Yu Xiaogang was still unconscious, with Scarface taking care of him, there shouldn't be any problem.
Furthermore, compared to news of Tang San's biological father, Tang Hao, Yu Xiaogang's safety was clearly negligible.
Early morning.
The first rays of sunlight brought warmth.
Yu Xiaogang lay on the bed and slowly woke up, feeling only a splitting headache and complete weakness throughout his body.
He was sick.
He had indeed fallen ill.
A mere Level 29 Soul Grandmaster who had been drenched in the winter rain for so long—how could he possibly withstand it!
However,
when Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes, the person he saw wasn't his good discipleTang San, but Brother Scarface, who had tormented him countless times in his nightmares.
Yet right now, Brother Scarface was slumped beside his bed, fast asleep; it was easy to tell that Brother Scarface had kept watch by his side all night.
"You..."
The moment Yu Xiaogang made a sound, Brother Scarface woke straight up and said with deep concern,
"Xiaogang, you're awake."
"You're so foolish. The rain was so heavy last night, and you were drenched all over."
As Brother Scarface spoke, he felt Yu Xiaogang's forehead. "You're burning up. You really did get sick. Xiaogang, wait here, I'll go have someone buy medicine for you right away."
Before Yu Xiaogang could even tell him to leave, he saw Brother Scarface hurriedly run out.
Shortly afterward,
Brother Scarface returned carrying a bowl of medicine, stepping forward to personally feed it to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang could bear it no longer and shoved Brother Scarface's arm away.
Crash!
The medicine bowl shattered on the floor.
"Enough!"
"What on earth do you want? You..."
Brother Scarface spoke with an earnest expression, "Xiaogang, I know you hate me. I really didn't mean to disturb your life."
"I only saw you and wanted to find you to apologize. I didn't realize you didn't know about Ah Jie's matter."
"But I promise you, as soon as you recover in a couple of days, I will vanish from your world immediately and never appear again."
Hearing Brother Scarface's words, Yu Xiaogang closed his eyes in despair.
"You... Where is Xiao San?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's question, Brother Scarface pulled out a letter from his robe and said,
"That disciple of yours seemed to have some urgent matter and left. This is the letter he left for you."
"Left?"
Yu Xiaogang took the letter handed over by Brother Scarface and looked at it, his brows instantly knitting together.
A message from Tang Hao to Tang San?
This?
Why did something feel off?
He had entrusted his father, Yu Yuanzhen, to search for over a month without finding any clues, so how could news suddenly appear now?
Brother Scarface stood up at this moment and said,
"Xiaogang, I'll go ladle another bowl of medicine for you. As long as you recover soon, everything will be fine."
"Xiaogang, drink your medicine~"
Looking at Brother Scarface, who was acting as gentle as Brother Jie once had, Yu Xiaogang was momentarily dazed.
It was as if the person feeding him medicine before his eyes was not the ferocious Scarface, but his Brother Jie returned.
"Why... why are you suddenly treating me so well?" Yu Xiaogang couldn't help asking.
Brother Scarface looked at Yu Xiaogang and replied, "Have you forgotten that the reason I'm alive today is because you saved me?"
Hearing Scarface's words, Yu Xiaogang recalled the past.
Back when Brother Jie came to the Heavenly Prison to rescue him, he had originally intended to kill Scarface and Shorty directly, but Yu Xiaogang stopped Brother Jie, saving the two of them.
Yu Xiaogang suddenly understood everything, and Brother Scarface's actions no longer seemed puzzling.
On the other side.
In the hotel's top-floor room.
Although Su Yan had left yesterday with Qian Renxue and the others, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and their group had stayed here the entire time, keeping Chrysanthemum Douluo company while keeping watch on Yu Xiaogang and the others.
As the saying goes: yesterday you ignored my perverted side, but today I'm far out of your league.
This was truly an accurate portrayal of Chrysanthemum Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and the rest right now!
Su Yan's projected image remained visible throughout.
Seeing the conversation between Yu Xiaogang and Scarface on screen, Golden Crocodile and the others also looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo in complete shock and said,
"Holy crap?"
"Yue Guan, you actually started setting up this plot so early on?"
"Good grief, back when Brother Jie was going to kill Scarface, Yu Xiaogang stopped him. So you were waiting for this all along?"
"You truly are a pervert through and through!"
