Chapter 113

"Thank you, Dacheng."

Yu Xiaogang patted Dacheng's shoulder with his only arm, "It's all thanks to you."

"Sigh," Dacheng let out a sigh.

"Xiaogang, let me give you a piece of advice as a friend: take it easy from now on. If there's a next time, I won't be able to help you."

Yu Xiaogang's expression changed instantly.

"What do you mean by that? Are you trying to draw a line between us?"

"Have you forgotten how things were when I saved you back then?"

Dacheng didn't get flustered or angry like Yu Xiaogang; instead, he remained very calm.

"Xiaogang, of course I remember. I will never forget that you saved me in this lifetime. When it was freezing cold, you showed me the way home and even gave me a piece of dry, unleavened flatbread."

"But you also have to consider how I've treated you all these years. It's not quite 'repaying a drop of water with a gushing spring,' but it's close. I provided for your food and drink for ten years, then you went to Notting City, and then you came back to find me. Every time you asked for my help, my attitude toward you never changed in the slightest."

"This time, I really couldn't take it anymore. Your situation was too big; I had to throw in more than half of Yichun Courtyard just to finally get you out. Otherwise, the grass would already be growing on your grave!"

Yu Xiaogang's face grew increasingly gloomy.

"So, you're blaming me?"

"Did I ask you to save me?"

Did he, the dignified Grandmaster, need someone else to save him?

With that one sentence, Dacheng was completely stunned.

"From now on, we are even!"

After dropping that line, Yu Xiaogang turned and walked away.

"Sigh."

Dacheng sighed and instructed his people to put in some effort for the Lanba Academy side, so that Yu Xiaogang wouldn't have too much trouble when looking for Tang San, and also to go easy on him if Yu Xiaogang wanted to become a teacher there.

He might be heartless, but he couldn't be unrighteous.

Yu Xiaogang walked on his two legs, asking around in Heaven Dou City, and finally found Lanba Academy.

Although the gate tower, carved from white marble and over ten meters high, couldn't be called magnificent,

it was quite imposing. On the gate tower were eight gold-stamped characters:

Lanba Advanced Soul Master Academy.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."

Yu Xiaogang immediately found the reception desk next to the guard post and explained his purpose.

Dacheng, the owner of Yichun Courtyard, had long since had people handle everything regarding Yu Xiaogang's affairs.

"So it's the Grandmaster! It is truly an honor for our Lanba Academy that the Grandmaster could come here."

"You're looking for Tang San, right? I will have someone bring Tang San over immediately. Grandmaster, please wait here for a moment."

The receptionist guard smiled and took out a soft animal-skin chair that had been prepared in advance,

while also bringing out the prepared tea, which was at the perfect temperature.

"Go ahead."

Yu Xiaogang picked up the teacup, very satisfied with his current treatment; this was the respect a Grandmaster deserved.

Those detestable people from the Heaven Dou City Guard didn't know how to show respect at all.

They even beat him harder after he took out the Pope Token, claiming he had stolen it, and forcibly snatched the Pope Token away.

Tang San and Liu Erlong were currently in the woods behind Lanba Academy discussing life.

A teacher quickly approached and said that Tang San's foster father had come to find him.

"Foster father is here!"

Tang San's face was instantly filled with joy.

"I didn't expect foster father to come find me after a month. If he hadn't come, I would have thought he'd been arrested."

Liu Erlong cast her gaze toward Tang San.

"Xiao San, then you should hurry over. Don't keep him waiting too anxiously."

Tang San understood what Liu Erlong meant.

"Sister, don't worry. Once I find my foster father, I'll tell him about you. Sister is so beautiful and treats me so well; under Sister's guidance, my soul power has even broken through to level 32."

Liu Erlong felt a warmth in her heart. "Go, I'll be waiting for you."

Tang San nodded and followed the teacher who had come to report the news, walking quickly toward the main gate of Lanba Academy.

"Foster father!"

When he saw Yu Xiaogang's figure, he excitedly took two steps in one, hurrying forward.

"Foster father, you've finally come to find me."

"I stayed with an old friend for a while. It looks like you've found a pretty good academy."

Tang San chuckled; being praised by his foster father was a very happy thing.

"Foster father, I have good news to tell you: I've made a girlfriend."

Yu Xiaogang gently patted Tang San's shoulder.

"If you've made one, then so be it. But you must be careful not to let it delay your cultivation. At this time, you should still prioritize cultivation."

He was also somewhat expectant; what kind of taste did his foster son have?

He had to take a good look at what kind of woman she was and whether she would meet his standards.

"When do you plan to let foster father meet this little girlfriend of yours?"

Tang San thought for a moment. "There's no time like the present; let's do it today."

"Foster father, there's a coffee shop right outside Lanba Academy. You can wait inside, and I'll bring my girlfriend to see you. How about that?"

Yu Xiaogang nodded gently.

"That's fine."

Tang San quickly returned to the quiet woods inside Lanba Academy. At this moment, Liu Erlong was very nervous,

sitting down one moment and standing up the next.

She had never had such feelings before.

A fifty-year-old maiden's heart was fluttering.

She kept guessing in her heart,

"I wonder how Xiao San will introduce me to his foster father?"

Tang San ran back quickly. "Erlong, we're going to take you to see my foster father in a little while!"

Liu Erlong was instantly startled. "So soon!"

"Your foster father just found out, and you're taking me to see him already? Did you tell your foster father about my situation in detail?"

In her heart, she was both looking forward to meeting Tang San's foster father and somewhat afraid.

An ugly daughter-in-law meeting her father-in-law.

"No need to say anything; Erlong, you are very good, absolutely perfect."

"We'll be ready to go in a moment."

Liu Erlong dropped that line and, without waiting for Tang San to object, quickly entered the wooden house.

"Then I'll hurry up and get dressed."

Half an hour later,

Tang San held Liu Erlong's hand and walked slowly toward the coffee shop.

Liu Erlong had dressed herself very exquisitely, while also trying hard to make herself look younger, appearing just like a twenty-year-old girl.

Her soul power level was very high.

Traces of time.

"Xiao San, won't your foster father look down on me? I'm so old; you have to know, in an ordinary family, at my age, I could be your grandmother."

Liu Erlong's little heart was thumping; she had never been this nervous before.

"You also said 'ordinary family'; we are Soul Masters, it's different."

"Don't worry."

Tang San signaled for Liu Erlong to relax.

"My foster father is very easy to talk to."

He stood on his tiptoes and kissed Liu Erlong gently on the mouth.

"And I will also speak up for you."

Tang San held Liu Erlong's hand.

"My foster father will definitely like you."
