Chapter 57
Not Bowing Down for 5 Dou of Rice? But what if it were 5 Shi of Rice?
Chapter 57 Not Bowing Down for Five Pecks of Rice? But what if it were five hundred bushels of rice?
No sooner had Lan Minghua left Shrek Academy than Flander hurriedly found Tang San.
At this moment, Yu Xiaogang and Tang San were still in shock, watching Lan Minghua and his group leave, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
"This... how is this possible? A Title Douluo would actually become the disciple of another Title Douluo!" Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.
In his mind, Title Douluo were already the pinnacle of existence on the continent.
How could I possibly condescend to become a disciple of another Title Douluo?
Moreover, Dugu Bo is a well-established Title Douluo with a distinguished reputation.
Such an arrogant person actually addressed a group of teenagers as senior brothers and sisters with genuine sincerity.
That scene completely overturned his understanding.
Tang San's expression was equally unpleasant, and he had a vague feeling that he was being targeted.
He had originally planned to befriend Dugu Bo and use his poison to create powerful hidden weapons.
Unexpectedly, the plan was aborted before it could be implemented.
Just as the two were in shock, Flander suddenly appeared in front of them with a "whoosh".
Yu Xiaogang was startled and couldn't help but exclaim, "Flander, when are you going to get rid of this elusive habit of yours?"
Flander's lips twitched, and he quickly reached out to cover Yu Xiaogang's mouth, lowering his voice like a thief.
"Shh, keep your voice down! Xiao Gang, are you trying to kill me so you can inherit my Shrek Academy?"
Yu Xiaogang looked bewildered and asked, puzzled, "Flander, aren't you the dean of Shrek Academy? Why are you acting like a thief in your own home?"
Flander didn't explain, but pulled Yu Xiaogang into the room, saying in a low voice.
"Xiao Gang, don't speak. Tang San, Xiao Wu, don't ask any questions either, come in with me."
As he spoke, he cautiously used his martial spirit to sense his surroundings, confirming that no one was watching them.
As for Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun, they were kicked out of the team by Tang San after they attacked Yu Xiaogang.
After confirming that no one was watching, Flander quickly pulled Yu Xiaogang into the room.
However, they did not know that Wu Song had quietly appeared on the roof of the room and was drinking wine in large gulps.
Looking at Flanders and his group in the room, a hint of mockery appeared on his lips.
Inside the room, Yu Xiaogang broke free from Flander's restraints and said with a look of disgust, "Flander, what on earth are you up to? Why are you acting so sneaky in your own home?"
Tang San and Xiao Wu were also full of doubt, not understanding why Flander had rushed to find them as soon as Lan Minghua left.
Flander put a finger to his lips, gesturing for them to be quiet: "Shh, just listen to me."
Seeing Flander's serious expression, Yu Xiaogang realized that things were not simple, so he quieted down.
Flander breathed a sigh of relief, and without hesitation, pulled a letter from his pocket and handed it to Tang San.
"Tang San, this is a letter from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Take a look while Lan Minghua is away from the academy."
Tang San was very surprised. Why would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School write him a letter?
It seems like they don't have much interaction.
Despite his doubts, he quickly opened the letter.
Although Yu Xiaogang felt it was impolite to lean in and look directly, he couldn't resist his curiosity and leaned in.
Seeing this, Tang San simply read the contents of the letter aloud.
"Tang San, you must be puzzled when you see this letter, wondering why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, whom you have no connection with, would send you a letter. But don't worry, keep reading and you will understand."
"The three sects are closely connected. When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect encountered a calamity, the Clear Sky Sect chose to lend a helping hand. In order to promote the relationship between the two sects, your father, Tang Hao, agreed to let you marry Rongrong. To be more precise, you will be marrying into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Upon reading this, Tang San was instantly enraged.
As a man, how could he be expected to marry into the family?
In both his past lives, he had never suffered such humiliation!
When Xiao Wu heard that Tang San was going to marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, her pupils suddenly contracted.
Her feelings for Tang San had long surpassed those of siblings; they were deep love.
Seeing that the man she admired was about to be taken away, she quickly stepped forward, grabbed Tang San's hand, and asked anxiously, "Little San, you won't agree to this, right?"
Tang San was about to give a confident reply when he suddenly saw the name "Tang Hao" mentioned in the letter and exclaimed in surprise.
"Tang Hao? My father is still alive?!"
That night, Tang San thought that Tang Hao had died at the hands of Lan Minghua.
After all, Tang Hao was so badly injured that the chances of him surviving were extremely slim.
I never expected that he would still be alive!
A surge of joy welled up in Tang San's heart.
He did not answer Xiaowu immediately, but continued to read the contents of the letter.
"You might be annoyed to see this. But this is your father's and the Haotian Sect's decision. Moreover, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not mistreat you after you marry into the family."
The latest novel is first published here!
On the contrary, as one of the wealthiest forces on the continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will spare no effort to help you grow.
With the full support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, your powerful hidden weapons will have the opportunity to flourish across the continent.
Tang San paused here, pondering to himself.
It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!
The plan to befriend Dugu Bo had just fallen through, but now the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has taken the initiative to extend an olive branch.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the richest sect. With its support, what kind of material can't we get?"
The Tang Clan's powerful hidden weapons all require precious materials. With the help of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I am confident I can recreate them on the continent!
Tang San's hope was rekindled, and he imagined himself defeating Lan Minghua with Tang Clan hidden weapons.
Seeing that Tang San hadn't answered yet, Xiao Wu pouted in dissatisfaction, grabbed his hand, and asked angrily, "Little San, you still haven't answered me!"
Tang San was speechless for a moment, his gaze wandering, unsure how to respond.
He had long harbored other feelings for Xiao Wu, but he had never shown them.
Now, the price offered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is too tempting, and he has long forgotten the humiliation of marrying into the family.
Suddenly, he thought of an excuse and immediately said, "Xiao Wu, you know I'm not the kind of person who would bow down for a pittance. But this is Father's decision, and I can't go against it."
Tang San would certainly not bow down for five pecks of rice, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's offer was at least five hundred shi of rice.
Xiao Wu pouted, clearly dissatisfied with Tang San's answer.
Seeing this, Tang San quickly said, "Xiao Wu, don't worry. No matter what happens, you will always be my sister. Anyone who wants to harm you will have to step over my dead body first."
As expected of someone with a love-struck mind, Xiao Wu fell for him instantly upon hearing those words.
"Mmm, I knew you were the best to me, Xiao San. How could Xiao San possibly like that little devil Ning Rongrong!"
Tang San breathed a sigh of relief; Xiao Wu was still so easy to fool.
He wasn't actually after Ning Rongrong's body, but he was after the resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Yu Xiaogang saw through everything, but he didn't expose it.
After all, he had done similar things before.
He seduced the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and used her identity to access a vast amount of information about the Spirit Hall.
Tang San is now using his status as a son-in-law to openly enjoy the resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Little did they know, their words were all overheard by Wu Song on the roof.
At the same time, those forces that received news of Lan Minghua's departure from Shrek Academy began to take action.
