Chapter 19: Tang San Opposes Yu Xiaogang! Xiaogang Breaks Down!
"I… I…"
At that moment, how could Tang San have possibly imagined that Yu Xiaogang was actually a thief, someone doing something very similar to what he himself had done: stealing other people's achievements and using them to show off in front of others?
The probability of such a coincidence was extremely small. Naturally, Tang San had assumed the accusation was aimed at him.
After all, he had been only six years old back then, yet already knew so many miraculous hidden weapon techniques and various cultivation methods. Even a pig could tell that those things could not possibly have been created by a six-year-old child.
The only possible explanation was that they had been learned from somewhere else.
However, Tang San had never explained this to anyone. Since he never brought it up, others felt it was inappropriate to ask. Even his own father had never questioned him.
So, when Xiao Wu had mentioned theft and plagiarizing achievements two days ago, the only person Tang San thought of was himself.
He believed that Xiao Wu had guessed the origin of his techniques and hidden weapons, so she was indirectly scolding him, hinting at the truth.
That was why he had become so furious. This was the most sensitive reverse scale in his heart.
It even created a rift between the two of them.
Who could have imagined that, damn it, Xiao Wu had not been talking about him at all, but about that beast Yu Xiaogang!
Because of this misunderstanding, he had lashed out at Xiao Wu, losing his temper at the girl he loved!
All because of Yu Xiaogang!
After reading the letter, Tang San immediately realized that Yu Xiaogang was also someone who did shady, sneaky things. In fact, what he did was even worse than what Tang San himself did.
At least Tang San had left the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus behind in the Tang Sect in his previous life. But Yu Xiaogang plagiarized others' theories and even distorted them into something worse.
Thinking of this, and realizing that Xiao Wu's departure might also be related to his outburst at her, Tang San felt his blood surge violently. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
'Damn it!'
'I actually misunderstood Xiao Wu and thought she was talking about…'
'Damn it!'
'Xiao Wu! My Xiao Wu!!'
Tang San's feelings for Xiao Wu were admittedly somewhat selfish and controlling, but the intensity of that affection was undeniable. It was simply somewhat twisted.
So, his reaction was entirely normal.
As for the others present, they were all soul masters with excellent eyesight. They had carefully read the entire letter as well.
When they first saw the second sentence stating that the three girls were completely leaving Shrek Academy, everyone was shocked.
What was going on?
The three girls had been doing perfectly well at Shrek. Why would they suddenly leave?
The academy had instantly lost three important geniuses.
Moreover, as described later in the letter, Xiao Wu called Yu Xiaogang a person who deceived the public and stole fame and reputation. The students and teachers were even more shocked.
Especially since Xiao Wu had listed many theoretical issues, all of which directly targeted Yu Xiaogang and overturned his theories.
When the students read this part, their expressions became complicated. They began looking at Tang San and Yu Xiaogang with doubtful eyes.
Even Ma Hongjun, who had just squeezed into the crowd, could not help speaking up:
"Damn, Xiao Wu and the others actually withdrew from the academy."
"And the stuff she wrote here actually sounds pretty reasonable. It really feels like the Grandmaster's theories might not hold up."
Oscar looked utterly terrified.
"How could this happen? No wonder my Rongrong suddenly got angry and left!"
"Could it be because of the Grandmaster?"
"Did they discover that the Grandmaster's theories had problems and think Shrek wasn't good enough anymore, so they left?"
Dai Mubai also frowned gloomily and thought aloud:
"Wait. Two days ago, Zhuqing was already trying to persuade me."
"She didn't say it directly, but she kept hinting at it. It felt like she was belittling our academy and even hinted about taking me away."
"I didn't take it seriously and just casually refuted her. After all, I've been at Shrek for quite a while."
Hearing that, Oscar also reacted and hurriedly said,
"Right! Rongrong talked to me about it two days ago, too!"
"She practically said it outright, saying Shrek had problems and staying here would just waste our youth."
"I reacted the same way as you, Boss Dai. I felt like I belonged to Shrek, so I hinted that I wouldn't leave."
"Could it be because of this? They felt Shrek really wasn't good enough, and that the theories here had problems that would delay their future."
"So, the three of them left together?!"
When the conclusion reached this point, everyone turned to look at Yu Xiaogang simultaneously.
If their guess was correct, there was only one possible explanation.
Yu Xiaogang had forced them away.
Tang San suddenly recalled what had happened two days ago, along with the letter Xiao Wu wrote. He muttered in his heart:
'Combining what Mubai and Oscar said with the hints Xiao Wu gave me back then, she was actually talking about Teacher.'
'Could it be that they…'
Thinking of Xiao Wu, Tang San's expression unconsciously turned colder.
If anyone else had dared to slander his teacher, he would have killed them without hesitation.
But Xiao Wu was different.
Xiao Wu was the woman he loved most. In the original story, Tang San truly was willing to disregard his own life for Xiao Wu.
At the very least, Xiao Wu was far more important than Yu Xiaogang.
Thinking of this, Tang San stared fiercely at Yu Xiaogang.
Surrounded by everyone's gaze, Yu Xiaogang felt his heart tremble with fear and hurriedly spoke:
"What are you all talking about?"
"How could my theories possibly have problems? They must have misunderstood me!"
"My theories were all researched by myself. I'm the theoretical grandmaster of the soul master world. Even the current pope acknowledges me!"
"Are you seriously going to blame me just because a few girls left?!"
At this moment, Dai Mubai sneered from the side.
"Grandmaster, Xiao Wu made it very clear in this letter."
"The current pope is your ex-girlfriend. Of course, she would trust you."
"You didn't become a so-called Grandmaster because of that relationship, did you?"
"Yeah, I always thought it was strange…" Oscar frowned.
"Other than making us run laps every day, what kind of teaching have you actually given us?"
"Anyone can make people run laps. I can do that too. Does that make me a grandmaster?"
"Grandmaster, how do you explain what Boss Dai just said?"
Yu Xiaogang became shocked.
He stared at these people, unable to believe that they would blame him just because a few women had left.
How dare they!
Were these women more important than him, a theoretical grandmaster?!
His expression turned fierce as he retorted:
"Dai Mubai, you are slandering me!"
"Although Bibi Dong and I once had a relationship, my achievements have nothing to do with whether she is the pope or not!"
"My status was earned entirely through my theories!"
"Bullshit!" Dai Mubai mocked.
"Some of those theories you talk about, I've heard them in my family long ago."
"Back then, I didn't pay attention and thought it was just a coincidence. But looking at it now, it really might be plagiarism."
"So tell me, how do you explain the questions Xiao Wu raised in that letter about your theories and all those loopholes?"
"I…"
Yu Xiaogang was only rank 29, completely unable to withstand Dai Mubai's pressure. He subconsciously took a step back.
Having no way out, he targeted Xiao Wu instead.
"This is Xiao Wu insulting me!"
"She's just a little girl. Who knows where she heard all these slanders about me and blindly believed them!"
"I taught her for years, and now she dares to question me? I think this is blatant disloyalty and disrespect!"
"Are you really going to believe a little girl instead of me, the Grandmaster?!"
After saying this, he deliberately looked toward Tang San, expecting his disciple to speak up for him.
But the one thing he should not have done was to insult Xiao Wu.
After hearing this, Tang San's expression became even darker. Staring at Yu Xiaogang, he rebuked coldly:
"Teacher, whether you are being slandered or not, you must not speak about Xiao Wu like that."
"Others may not believe her, but I believe Xiao Wu."
