Chapter 196 Sun Yu, we were classmates once, it's too heartless for you to say that
Just as Ning Rongrong and Tang San were filled with shock at the news, Xiao Wu reacted first, rushing towards Sun Yu with an excited expression.
She opened her arms, intending to hook them around Sun Yu's shoulders.
However, as soon as Xiao Wu's hand reached out, she felt her arm being grabbed by another hand.
Immediately following that, a surge of spirit power came, pushing her body flying outwards.
"Xiao Wu!"
Tang San's expression changed to one of alarm when he saw Xiao Wu being sent flying; he quickly got up and embraced the flying Xiao Wu…
After confirming Xiao Wu was alright, he looked with an angry expression at the person who had just made the move.
It was a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a dark green long dress.
"Xiao Wu didn't do it on purpose; isn't your move a bit too heavy-handed, Your Excellency?!"
Tang San said with an angry expression.
"Hmph, if she already has a man, why is she still approaching others so casually?! Such a slut, I'll slap every one I see!"
Dugu Yan, standing beside Sun Yu, casually waved her hand, her face full of disdain.
"You…"
"You poisonous woman, who are you calling a slut? I'm Little San's Sister Xiao Wu! Back at Notting Academy, I was the one who protected him from being bullied by older students.
What you're doing is making Sun Yu ungrateful!"
Xiao Wu, upon hearing Dugu Yan call her a slut, immediately jumped up, speaking with a face full of fury.
At Xiao Wu's words, Dugu Yan's expression stiffened; she turned to look at Sun Yu.
If that were truly the case, then it would indeed be a major misunderstanding…
Fortunately, Sun Yu's subsequent words restored Dugu Yan's composure, and at the same time, her gaze towards Tang San and Xiao Wu became even more dangerous.
"Xiao Wu, I remember telling you when I left Notting Academy that we were even, so all our past affection has vanished, just like when I was forced to leave Notting Academy by Yu Xiaogang!"
Listening to Sun Yu's words, Xiao Wu's expression also stiffened.
Even as naive as she was now, she surely knew how much it would hurt Sun Yu that Tang San and Grandmaster had conspired to drive him away.
Sun Yu, from a seven-year-old child who was driven away, grew into the youngest baron in history.
The painful experiences he must have gone through were unimaginable to Xiao Wu.
Just as the situation became slightly silent, Sun Yu continued to speak.
"Tang San, Xiao Wu, if you're here to buy things, you're welcome, but if you're here to talk about our past friendship as classmates, I'm sorry, I don't have time for that… If you're not buying anything, please feel free to leave!"
Listening to Sun Yu's words, Xiao Wu said with tightly furrowed brows,
"No, Sun Yu, you don't have to be so heartless. It was indeed Grandmaster and Little San's fault for driving you out of the academy back then, but aren't you doing well now? Nothing bad happened to you; instead, you've become some Baron Frost Ember, haven't you?! Why are you still dwelling on these things?!
The three of us are classmates after all! It's rare to see each other again, and you're not inviting us to a good meal to reminisce about the past; instead, you're in such a hurry to kick us out. You're too heartless, aren't you? If I remember correctly, you and Little San are from the same village, right?! Don't you care about the kinship of your fellow villagers?"
Although the difficulties of Sun Yu's path to becoming a baron were unimaginable to Xiao Wu, she could imagine how comfortable Sun Yu's life would be after becoming a baron.
As for the past, that was none of her business; why would she care about that…
And when Sun Yu heard Xiao Wu's words, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
No, is Xiao Wu's thought process really that unique and saintly?!
When you pressured me so much back then, why didn't you think that I was your classmate?!
Why didn't you think that Tang San and I were from the same village?!
Now that you see I've become successful, you're here saying these pleasantries?!
But where were you then?!
When I was driven away, I didn't see you, Xiao Wu, stand up and say a word to help me…
Thinking of this, Sun Yu shook his head helplessly.
"Xiao Wu, oh Xiao Wu, you also know that Tang San and I are from the same village, right? But back then, when I was fighting for fair wages for the villagers of Saint Spirit Village, it was you and Tang San who helped the noodle shop owner who exploited our Saint Spirit Village villagers.
Since you're so warm-hearted, why didn't I see you stand up for the Saint Spirit Village villagers then?! Aren't you Sister Xiao Wu!? If you can stand up for the noodle shop owner, why can't you stand up for Little San's village?!
If I remember correctly, when you and Tang San returned to the village together, my grandfather enthusiastically entertained you; seeing that you had no food, he even invited you and Tang San home for a meal!
Yet, not only did you not help at all, but when I was driven out of the academy by Yu Xiaogang, I didn't even see you stand up and say a few words to help me?! Why didn't I see you tell Yu Xiaogang to give me a break, considering that Tang San and I were both from Saint Spirit Village then?!
No, you two didn't pay any attention to my small self at all back then, and I knew very well that I was different from you; I wasn't worthy of playing with geniuses like you.
So I didn't bother you much; I always lived my own life, even though my grandfather repeatedly told me to get closer to Little San, I didn't comply, because I knew that a mere waste with innate spirit power level one like me wasn't worthy of playing with you innate full spirit power users!
But in the end, I merely fought for the wages that rightfully belonged to the Saint Spirit Village villagers, and you and Tang San jointly questioned me. Afterwards, you two, unable to stomach it, even made Yu Xiaogang go find the dean to kick me out of the academy…
Xiao Wu, Tang San, tell me, what's so good about such memories?! Tang San, I ask you, will you recall your days before Spirit awakening, when you were hungry and cold?! Xiao Wu, will you recall your hard days before coming to Notting Academy?!"
"…"
Listening to Sun Yu's calm description, everyone present looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu with puzzled expressions.
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and the members of the Royal Fight Team who had originally been watching with a 'let's see what happens' attitude now all glared at Tang San and Xiao Wu with angry faces.
They hadn't expected that the cause and effect of Sun Yu being driven out of the academy back then were because of such circumstances.
And Ning Rongrong's expression was also complicated as she looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Even she hadn't expected that the past experiences of Sun Yu, Tang San, and Xiao Wu were so complicated…
At the same time, Ning Rongrong unconsciously felt a hint of admiration for Sun Yu's growth history…
Before, she wouldn't have thought much of it.
However, after she left home this time, she realized that life on the continent was not easy…
And human relations were not as simple as she had thought then…
On the other side, listening to Sun Yu's calm description, and feeling the strange looks coming from all around, even the thick-skinned Xiao Wu's face turned beet red.
Her face was extremely awkward.
She didn't even dare to say another word, quickly pulling Tang San and walking towards the outside.
"Hey, wait for me…"
Ning Rongrong saw Tang San and the others leaving and quickly chased after them, intending to ask about Sun Yu's past.
