Chapter 36: Knowing Xiao Wu Is a Soul Beast, Yet Still Taking Her to Compete?
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The three girls stared at the light screen, their words getting stuck in their throats, unable to express any stance.
Especially since the light screen pointed out that back then, both Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were present, watching everything happen, yet they did not warn Xiao Wu.
Did that mean they also bore some responsibility?
Ning Rongrong felt a bit embarrassed, but upon careful thought, what the light screen said was not wrong.
Finally, Xiao Wu took the initiative to ask:
"Rongrong, Zhuqing."
"I want to know, was it really like what the light screen said back then?"
"Did Third Brother directly agree to Meng Yiran's challenge and even teach her techniques, giving her flying needles?"
"This…"
Ning Rongrong recalled the details from back then, and it really did seem that way.
Zhu Zhuqing responded first, "That's how it was."
"Xiao Wu, although saying this might affect your relationship, I also found it strange at the time."
"Meng Yiran proposed the challenge, but Tang San didn't need to agree. Her elders, the Dragon Serpent Couple, were already preparing to leave with her."
"If Tang San hadn't agreed, would the Dragon Serpent Couple really have stayed just because of a missing match to deal with us?"
"Not to mention, even if a fight broke out because of the challenge, Zhao Wuji could have held them off. If Tang San truly wanted to save you, he could have left first."
"The Dragon Serpent Couple might be able to defeat Zhao Wuji, but it wouldn't be easy. We wouldn't have been in danger."
"So the only possibility now is…"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xiao Wu and let out a helpless sigh.
"The only possibility is that Tang San wanted to absorb the soul ring from the start."
Hearing this, the emotions Xiao Wu had barely suppressed finally overflowed, tears streaming down even more intensely.
She continued asking, "Then, when Meng Yiran and the others left, did Third Brother really take the initiative to absorb the soul ring?"
"No one tried to persuade him?"
"Even if…"
Xiao Wu trembled, "Even if Third Brother was persuaded by others to absorb the soul ring first, then maybe…"
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both shook their heads.
At that time, everyone was focused on saving someone. Aside from Tang San, who cared about the Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring?
In the end, wasn't it Tang San who brought it up himself, and the others simply waited with him as he absorbed the soul ring?
Seeing their expressions, Xiao Wu finally understood everything.
"So that's how it is."
"So it turns out…"
"Heh…"
In extreme pain, Xiao Wu even let out a laugh she herself couldn't understand.
Perhaps that laughter was self-mockery, or perhaps it was a sense of helplessness toward reality.
Of course, Xiao Wu still hoped that Tang San could survive safely.
If Tang San had truly risked his life to save her, she would definitely have stopped him.
But if Tang San hadn't truly intended to save her, would Xiao Wu still wish for him not to save her? She would surely feel disappointed.
With her eyes closed, Xiao Wu covered her small face tightly with both hands. She had already cried to exhaustion and could no longer hold on much longer.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong exchanged a glance. In the end, all they could do was sigh, endless sighs.
Even in the light screen's comments section, the female characters were still discussing how hypocritical Tang San was.
They said that what he said and what he did simply did not match, making him utterly disgusting.
And the main Sharp Commentary content on the light screen still showed no sign of stopping, continuing to update.
...
On the light screen:
[This Titan Giant Ape incident reveals the thoughts of every Shrek member!]
[Oscar was thinking of taking advantage before dying, deliberately getting close to Ning Rongrong, and Ning Rongrong even thought he was deeply affectionate!]
[Tang San said he would definitely find Xiao Wu, but the moment he encountered a soul ring, he abandoned her first, and Xiao Wu was even moved to tears!]
[Alright, so to deal with female characters in Douluo Continent, you just need to act deeply affectionate, and you can deceive women into falling for you?]
[After that, no need to mention more—Tang San always maintained his love for Xiao Wu. Under normal circumstances, nothing would happen; Xiao Wu was his most important woman!]
[But as always, don't let anything happen! Once something does, when has Xiao Wu not been the one to suffer while Tang San benefits?]
[Later, by chance, they encountered Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Tang San obtained Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew and saw through Xiao Wu's identity as a Soul Beast, yet said nothing. That is still understandable!]
[But the key point is, afterward, Shrek Academy inherited Blue Tyrant Academy's resources and was qualified to participate in the "Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament"!]
[At this time, Tang San still didn't know that "Yearning Heartbroken Red" could conceal Xiao Wu's Soul Beast aura!]
[In other words, under such circumstances, Tang San knew that Xiao Wu might be discovered as a Soul Beast by high-level Soul Masters!]
[And then? They fought all the way to the finals and were about to go to Spirit City to compete!]
[At this moment, there were two choices. Xiao Wu is a Soul Beast; she should have avoided the finals for her own safety.
Or should Xiao Wu just endure it and win the championship first to get the soul bone?]
[Any normal person, if they truly loved someone, would definitely give up honor and soul bone, right? After all, the one in danger is their lover!]
[What did our Young Master Tang do? He chose to continue the competition, fully aware that Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast who might be exposed, yet still brought her to Spirit City!]
[What kind of place is Spirit City? The place with the most Titled Douluo!]
[Even during the competition, top Titled Douluo, Pope Bibi Dong, was right in front of them, less than twenty meters away!]
[And even so, Tang San still chose to bring Xiao Wu there!]
[Alright, alright, just like what his father did back then…]
[What a coincidence! Too much of a coincidence, right? How are father and son so similar in what they do?]
[Was Tang San careless or intentional?]
[Xiao Wu: "Intentional!"]
At this point, Song Ye, as the commentator, could only laugh.
Tang San had already seen that Xiao Wu was a Soul Beast. Knowing the conflict between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, knowing the value of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, he still brought her to compete.
Was the competition really that important?
Or did Tang San truly want the soul bone that badly?
As soon as this content came out, it nearly terrified all the female characters.
So hypocritical, truly hypocritical beyond anything they had ever seen!
How could this so-called Tang San be so disgustingly shameless? It was nauseating!
[Needle-Tailed Swift]: No, is this Tang San even a man? Didn't he say Xiao Wu is his true love? Then why bring his lover to such a dangerous place?"
[Bingbing is Polite]: Do you even need to ask? Look at what Tang San's father did. Doesn't that explain Tang San? Maybe after realizing Xiao Wu is a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, he became even more determined to reach the finals!
[Needle-Tailed Swift]: Oh? So you're saying he also wants the Soul Beast to willingly sacrifice itself like his father? Damn! What a scheme!
[Sea God's Most Loyal Believer]: Even I have to admit, the Tang family has produced hypocrites! If they want soul rings, they could hunt them themselves. Why resort to such disgusting methods!
