"You!"
Tang San clenched his fists, but he didn't dare to really attack Shen Fan.
"There's one thing I don't quite understand."
"Since you believe that the subsidies Spirit Hall gives to Spirit Masters are ill-gotten, then why do you accept them with such peace of mind?"
Shen Fan continued to dig a pit for Tang San.
"When I first went to collect the subsidies, I didn't know how these Spirit Hall subsidies came about."
Tang San's voice was very cold.
"Then you should know how these Spirit Hall subsidies came about later, right?"
"I ask you."
"When you found out how these Spirit Hall subsidies came about, did you return all the subsidies you received from Spirit Hall over the years to the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire?"
After speaking, Shen Fan paused for a few seconds, and seeing that Tang San remained silent, he couldn't help but sneer, "Heh, it seems not."
"You keep saying that Spirit Hall's act of forcing Heaven Dou and Star Luo to provide money for subsidies to rogue Spirit Masters is wrong, but when it's your turn to set an example, you just play dead?"
"So, you just shout slogans loudly, but you don't do anything practical, right?"
Shen Fan looked at the livid Tang San with disdain and continued to retort.
"Of course."
"If it were only these things, at most it could only be said that you are a piece of trash."
"But when you became rich with five million gold coins, you actually turned around and said that Spirit Hall was wrong for distributing subsidies to rogue Spirit Masters, wanting to overturn the dining table of other rogue Spirit Masters who needed subsidy assistance."
"Can I understand this as, now that you no longer need to receive subsidies from Spirit Hall, you feel that Spirit Hall's wrongful act of forcing Heaven Dou and Star Luo to provide money for subsidies no longer needs to exist?"
"Can I understand this even further as, you are an extremely selfish person, only caring about yourself, completely self-centered, believing that money in your hands is right, but in others' hands is wrong?"
Shen Fan just wanted to expose Tang San's hypocritical face.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm just saying that the process of Spirit Hall distributing Spirit Master subsidies was wrong, Spirit Hall shouldn't have forced Heaven Dou and Star Luo to pay, when did I ever say that Spirit Hall shouldn't continue to distribute subsidies?"
Tang San certainly didn't dare to admit these things now, otherwise, if someone in the carriage with a loose tongue spread it, he would definitely be in deep trouble.
This could be seen from the strange looks Ma Hongjun and Oscar, who usually played with him, gave him as soon as Shen Fan finished speaking.
"Although you didn't explicitly say it, what you implied in your words was exactly that meaning."
"The Crown Prince just clearly stated that if Spirit Hall hadn't forcibly demanded that the Heaven Dou Empire allocate a portion of money to subsidize rogue Spirit Masters, the Heaven Dou Empire would not have given any subsidies to rogue Spirit Masters at all."
"I believe the Star Luo Empire is the same on this point."
"Now you're saying that Spirit Hall's act of forcing Heaven Dou and Star Luo to pay is wrong, and you don't want Spirit Hall to do that, isn't that overturning the dining table of rogue Spirit Master subsidies?"
"What?"
"Do you mean to say that all Spirit Master subsidies should be paid by Spirit Hall alone?"
"Why?"
"To be blunt."
"Don't let Spirit Hall kindly use its own money to distribute subsidies to rogue Spirit Masters on the Heaven Dou and Star Luo side, only to raise a group of ungrateful people."
"Just like you, Tang San, taking the benefits and subsidies Spirit Hall fought for you from the Empires, not only do you not express any gratitude, but you also badmouth Spirit Hall behind its back."
Seeing that no matter what Shen Fan said, it would eventually circle back to him, Tang San finally couldn't help but interrupt Shen Fan.
"Enough."
"Isn't it just about Spirit Master subsidies?"
"You've been rambling on and on, is there no end to it?"
Tang San was furious.
"Honestly."
"No end."
Shen Fan shook his head with an innocent expression.
"You!"
Tang San was so angry he clutched his chest.
Douluo 1 Shui Yueer: "Haha."
"Shen Fan's innocent little expression looks quite cute."
"It's just hard on Tang San."
"Looking at Tang San, he's about to be angered into a serious illness."
Duoluo II Tang Ya Livestream: "It's best if he's directly angered to death."
Douluo Er Ma Xiaotao Livestream: "If he's directly angered to death, wouldn't that be too easy for him?"
"I strongly support Shen Fan's approach; for trash like Tang San, he should be slowly tormented until he has nothing, scorned by everyone, and then, in his despair, sent on his way."
Shen Fan, of course, was unaware of the lively atmosphere in the livestream. At this moment, seeing Tang San clutching his chest, only gasping for breath and not speaking, his eyes darted, and he spoke again.
"Tang San."
"If you don't want to discuss the first round, that's fine."
"How about we start the second round now?"
"Don't worry, this second round isn't about Spirit Master subsidies."
Shen Fan's expression was mischievous as he spoke.
"There's a second round?"
Tang San's eyes almost popped out.
He didn't understand, he just retorted Spirit Hall a few times because of his parents' matters, how did it escalate to this point?
"Sigh."
"Shen Gongzi."
"Could you give me some face and let this matter go?"
"Another day, I will prepare a table of fine wine and delicacies at Moon Pavilion to thank you properly."
At this moment, Tang Yuehua stood up and bowed to Shen Fan.
No matter what she thought in her heart, Tang San was, after all, half her second brother's son, and if something really happened, she certainly couldn't remain indifferent.
Moreover, if she truly stood by and watched Tang San being rebutted without a word, Shen Fan would also become suspicious.
"Another day?"
"Alright."
"Since Pavilion Master Tang has spoken, of course I must give her face."
Rebutting Tang San could be done anytime; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, no need to rush. But having Tang Yuehua owe him a favor was rare, so Shen Fan certainly wouldn't miss it.
"Then thank you, Shen Gongzi."
Tang Yuehua bowed again, then pulled Tang San aside and began to speak softly to him.
Douluo 1 Shui Yueer: "Are these two 'another day' referring to the same meaning?"
Douluo I Ning Rongrong Livestream: "I don't think so."
"One is another day, the other is another day."
Douluo Continent One, Tang Yuehua Livestream: "..."
Douluo I Xue Ke Livestream: "Aunt Yuehua."
"I also felt that when Shen Fan said those two words, it was a bit…"
"In short, be careful."
Douluo Continent One, Tang Yuehua Livestream: "Sigh."
In the time that followed, as Tang San was pulled aside by Tang Yuehua to talk, the atmosphere in the carriage became lively again. Shen Fan also took the opportunity to sit next to Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) and chatted idly with her.
