Chapter 28: The "Anti-Grandmaster Sect" Is Established — First Sect Leader Xiao Wu
Even after waking up, Yu Xiaogang still could not believe what had just happened.
As someone who cherished his reputation and was desperate to prove himself, Yu Xiaogang could not accept the world knowing that he had become a eunuch.
"Teacher, the matter of you becoming a eunuch has indeed spread throughout Nuoding Academy. And even in Nuoding City, the news is gradually spreading."
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang still refused to accept reality, Tang San could understand. After all, his teacher's dignity as a man was gone.
If this happened to anyone, they would find it impossible to accept for a while.
However, Tang San still hoped Yu Xiaogang would pull himself together and properly teach him theoretical knowledge.
Now that Teacher Yu Xiaogang had become a eunuch, only by guiding him to become a top powerhouse on the continent would there be a chance to wash away this humiliation.
"How is that possible?"
"Xiao San, wasn't this something only the two of us knew?"
"How does the entire Nuoding Academy know about it today? How did this happen?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San felt a little nervous inside. Besides the two of them, Xiao Wu also knew about Yu Xiaogang becoming a eunuch.
But he couldn't possibly tell Yu Xiaogang that he himself had leaked the secret.
If he did, wouldn't his image of being pure, trustworthy, and faithful to his promises be completely ruined?
"Teacher, I think it's because the way you walked yesterday looked very strange, and others at Nuoding Academy guessed it."
"That's why the matter of you becoming a eunuch became widely known."
Tang San quickly voiced his speculation.
This definitely wasn't his fault. How could Tang San be at fault? He had only accidentally mentioned the information to Xiao Wu.
And it certainly couldn't be Xiao Wu's fault either. Xiao Wu was so cute — how could she possibly be wrong?
Seeing Yu Xiaogang looking dejected, Tang San continued to comfort him:
"Teacher, you must pull yourself together now."
"If you stay discouraged, your reputation will truly be ruined."
"The most important thing now is to use your theoretical knowledge to nurture me. Only then can you prove yourself."
Hearing this, the confusion in Yu Xiaogang's eyes gradually turned into determination. He still could not fall into despair — he still had to teach Xiao San and help him become the strongest powerhouse on the continent.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang regain his fighting spirit, Tang San nodded in satisfaction.
At the same time…
Lin Chen had just gotten out of bed and was walking toward the academy cafeteria when he heard students discussing Yu Xiaogang becoming a eunuch.
"Hm? That fast?"
Lin Chen was quite puzzled. Yu Xiaogang had only become a eunuch yesterday — how had the entire school learned about it today?
But then again, even he had noticed yesterday that Yu Xiaogang's vital area had been injured. The experienced people in the academy would naturally notice as well.
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's reputation at Nuoding Academy had never been good. Once news of this spread, there was no need for anyone to fan the flames — simply waiting would produce an enormous reaction.
This was Yu Xiaogang's image at Nuoding Academy:
Freeloading, hypocritical, incompetent despite high ambitions, and excessively self-important…

[Carrot Lover: Sisters, I did something big yesterday.]
[Carrot Lover: I guarantee you'll feel great for the whole day after hearing it.]
[I Am a Little Princess: Hm? Xiao Wu, what big thing did you secretly do yesterday? Hurry and tell us.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: Curious.]
[I Sleep Every Day: Curious.]
[Carrot Lover: Here's what happened — since Yu Xiaogang became a eunuch, I spread the news about it around our academy.]
[Carrot Lover: Now everyone in our academy knows about Yu Xiaogang becoming a eunuch, and soon the entire city will know as well.]
[Carrot Lover: I just heard that Yu Xiaogang fainted from anger while walking around today. Don't you think I did something big?]
[A Little Fox: Well done, Xiao Wu.]
[A Little Fox: Now that Yu Xiaogang — that scumbag who deceived Her Holiness the Pope's feelings — has completely lost his reputation, I feel satisfied.]
[I Am a Little Princess: Exactly. Someone like Yu Xiaogang deserves to be severely punished. We're eliminating harm for the people.]
[I Have No Mother: Yu Xiaogang deceived the world, stole the theoretical knowledge of past Spirit Hall sages, and repackaged it as his own. Despicable and shameless. His ruined reputation now is simply karmic retribution.]
Seeing the "great deed" Xiao Wu had accomplished, the women all applauded and praised her.
Didn't Yu Xiaogang care deeply about his reputation and constantly try to prove himself?
Now that the eunuch incident had been exposed, even if Yu Xiaogang successfully proved his theories in the future, the matter of him becoming a eunuch would still be passed down through the ages, permanently nailing him to the pillar of shame.
[Pope of Spirit Hall: Xiao Wu, you little rabbit — you've gone too far!]
[Pope of Spirit Hall: And the rest of you have gone too far as well. Even if Xiaogang made mistakes, it shouldn't have come to this. He has already lost everything — even his dignity as a man — yet you still refuse to let him go.]
[Pope of Spirit Hall: Where is your conscience? Has a dog eaten it?]
Spirit City — Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong sat upon the Pope's throne, her hand gripping the Pope's scepter, trembling slightly, her face filled with anger.
Now her Xiaogang's reputation was completely ruined, and the matter of him becoming a eunuch would be forever nailed to the pillar of shame.
Even if Yu Xiaogang proved his theories in the future, it would be useless.
"If it weren't for the diary copy, I'd go stew that rabbit right now."
Bibi Dong was furious. Xiao Wu, that hundred-thousand-year soul beast, never did anything decent — every day either humiliating her Xiaogang or tormenting him.
"Still… Xiaogang, can't you show some backbone for once?"
But when thinking about Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong felt frustrated at his weakness. Looking back now, she realized she had rarely seen Yu Xiaogang act resolutely.
He was either already on a cowardly path or about to walk one.
The most confident he had ever seemed was probably when he stood before her, Bibi Dong, with self-assurance.
But upon seeing her beastly teacher, Qian Xunji, he became timid and fearful, unable even to speak clearly.
Now, Bibi Dong felt increasingly disappointed in Yu Xiaogang. He was no longer the confident, hardworking, and knowledgeable scholar she remembered.
[I Am a Little Princess: Why would we need a conscience when dealing with Yu Xiaogang? We're using evil to control evil.]
[I Am a Little Princess: Not only will we ruin Yu Xiaogang's reputation now, but we'll also establish the Anti-Grandmaster Sect to completely condemn this hypocritical scum.]
[I Am a Little Princess: Sisters, whoever wants to join the Anti-Grandmaster Sect, speak up.]
[A Cat Longing for Freedom: Me, me — count me in.]
[Yan Will Come Back: How could I miss something like this? Add me too.]
[Green Grass: I also want to join the Anti-Grandmaster Sect. Yu Xiaogang, the scum of the continent, deserves punishment.]
...
[Carrot Lover: Count me in, too — and I want to be the sect leader. I just made a great contribution.]
[I Am a Little Princess: Alright, Xiao Wu — you'll be the first sect leader for now. If anyone in the sect makes an even greater contribution in the future, they can take over the position.]
