Chapter 191 Gangzi's Scheme, Disgusting, Utterly Disgusting

Putting everything else aside, the way these people are treating Dai Mubai right now is very strange. Han Li doesn't believe for a second that Qian Renxue isn't behind this.

You should know that what he originally understood was that Zhu Zhuqing had voluntarily separated herself from the small group of people, but judging from the current situation, it was Dai Mubai who was isolated.

The situation at the scene revealed a lot. Even Dai Mubai's three original "good brothers" did not approach him at this time, and Ning Rongrong was even more provocative.

Tsk, Qian Renxue wants the horse to run but doesn't want to feed it. Dai Mubai is clearly just a tool, the kind that's used and then discarded.

But Dai Mubai had no other choice at this moment. Putting everything else aside, the current group was the best team he could find. If he gave up this opportunity and lost Qian Renxue's support, his fate would not be hard to imagine.

This seemingly fragile bait has now become the reason why Dai Mubai is stuck with it. He clearly harbors great resentment towards Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, but he can only endure it.

Can this team really make it to the Soul Master finals? This was the first time Han Li had this thought.

Forget it, do whatever you want. Han Li never considered them as opponents anyway; they were just too weak.

Just as he had this thought, he saw Yu Xiaogang wave to Tang San and walk towards the other side of the training ground.

After greeting Xiao Wu, Tang San followed.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang with some confusion, wondering why his teacher had asked him to come out alone.

"Hey, there's something I, as your teacher, have to remind you of."

Yu Xiaogang's expression turned serious, and Tang San's expression also became earnest.

"You've probably noticed it too, right? Since you came to Tiandou City, your team's problems have been getting bigger and bigger."

Yu Xiaogang wore a look of pity for Tang San's lack of ambition, as if waiting for Tang San to respond.

"Teacher, I understand the situation you're describing, but there's nothing I can do about it."

Tang San replied with a wry smile. He was quite good at reading people, but he was under a lot of pressure after his teammates revealed their identities one after another.

Although he was confident that he would not be weaker than the forces behind these people in the future, his current strength was clearly insufficient, and the best choice was not to easily antagonize them.

As a disciple of the Tang Clan, you'd be better at killing someone, or even just knocking out a part on the spot, than handling this kind of situation.

"Xiao San, you know that the most important thing for a team is cohesion. Without cohesion, even if it is strong, it will be vulnerable."

"Previously, the coach always built this team around you, but now..."

At this point, Yu Xiaogang glanced at the few people standing scattered in the room, and instead of continuing, he let out a heavy sigh.

Tang San couldn't help but turn around and glance at the scene. He saw Xiao Wu talking to Ning Rongrong. When she saw him looking over, she smiled at him and waved. Tang San smiled back.

Then, he turned around and saw his teacher looking downcast, and quickly said to comfort her, "Teacher, don't worry, I'll find a way."

"There are solutions, and the crux of the problem is obvious, but can they be solved? And who will solve them?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, who cared about him a lot, and while feeling very gratified, he complained.

"So you have a solution, teacher. Tell me, I'll try to solve it, okay?"

When Tang San heard that his teacher had a solution, his eyes lit up. Interpersonal skills were a problem for him, but if there was a ready-made solution, it wouldn't be difficult for him to implement it.

"Heh, that's not something that's hard to see."

Yu Xiaogang felt a warmth in his heart and was very satisfied with Tang San's performance. His disciple couldn't possibly not see through this, but his willingness to behave like this in front of him clearly showed his respect for his teacher.

You've got a good heart, mistress.

"The crux of the problem is actually quite obvious; the hidden dangers already existed before we came to Tiandou City."

Yu Xiaogang maintained his style of leaving things unsaid.

Tang San frowned slightly and lowered his voice: "Teacher, do you mean Zhu Qing?"

"That's right, you're very perceptive. You're a mistress, no wonder you're my apprentice."

Yu Xiaogang put his hands behind his back and watched Tang San's performance with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Han Li, who had been watching the conversation between the master and disciple the whole time, was almost laughing his head off.

He pinched his thigh hard, using the "Penny Tai concert" technique to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

He truly never expected to witness such a "phoenix and dragon" exchange. So all these years of conversations between you two, master and disciple, have been based entirely on your imaginations?

Tang San was not good at communicating, and Yu Xiaogang filled in the blanks in his mind the whole time. Most importantly, the two of them were miraculously on the same wavelength, which Han Li was willing to call the strongest.

Forcibly suppressing his laughter, Han Li looked at the two of them again.

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's praise, Tang San was a little embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down.

"But, teacher, Zhu Zhuqing is completely unwilling to communicate with us outside of training and battles. Moreover, apart from her unwillingness to try the Martial Soul Fusion Technique with Boss Dai, she performs exceptionally well in all other aspects and cultivates very diligently."

Putting aside the matter of the spirit fusion skill, Tang San was actually very satisfied with Zhu Zhuqing. Whether in training or in battle, she could absolutely follow his command, which alone made her much better than others.

"But she has the worst talent, and don't forget her status. Even if their problems are resolved in the future, she will still just be Dai Mubai's appendage."

Yu Xiaogang shook his head and gave Tang San a heartfelt reminder.

"Helping Dai Mubai complete the Martial Soul Fusion Technique is what she should be doing, but now she's giving up her greatest advantage. No matter how well she does in other aspects, it can't make up for this biggest flaw."

"If you can complete the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the improvement for the entire team will be enormous. Only in this way can you stand on a higher stage. Are you prepared to give up?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San, who was bowing his head in shame, with a hint of disappointment, knowing that Tang San had taken his words to heart.

Then, seizing the opportunity, he continued, "As you probably know, the winner of this All-Land Soul Master Tournament will receive three soul bones. As the core, you will definitely be able to obtain one, which will greatly help improve your strength."

"And then, your name will be mentioned by everyone, and your father will naturally find out. Don't you want to see your father again?"

As he said this, Yu Xiaogang looked around nervously, then quickly straightened his back.

He didn't know if Tang Hao was in the shadows, but even if he was, he could confidently say that it was all for Tang San.

After hearing his words, Tang San, who had been keeping his head down, clenched his fists, raised his head, and revealed a serious expression.

"Teacher, I'll listen to you."

He missed Tang Hao. He hadn't heard from his father for several years and wondered how he was doing.

Moreover, what the teacher said made sense, and this was a good opportunity for him to clear his teacher's name. He had always remembered the care and concern his teacher had shown him over the years, and it was time to repay him.

"But, teacher, what about Ning Rongrong?"

Having just expressed his stance, Tang San frowned again.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong have a pretty good relationship right now. If Zhu Zhuqing's problems need to be dealt with, Ning Rongrong will definitely get involved. If Ning Rongrong makes a scene, the situation will be difficult to manage.

"Ning Rongrong, you don't need to worry about her, your..."

Yu Xiaogang paused for a moment before continuing, "Don't worry about her. Let her make a scene, as long as she can provide assistance. Don't worry, I can guarantee that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School won't interfere in this matter."

Yu Xiaogang had a confident expression, seemingly not worried about Ning Rongrong at all.

"That's good. I'll talk to Fatty and Xiao Ao later; it shouldn't be a problem."

Tang San breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the master had a plan in place.

To be honest, he disliked Ning Rongrong, especially after arriving in Tiandou City. She reverted to her arrogant self and showed no respect for her teacher.

But her support was indeed very effective, and given her status, Tang San had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, with the master's words preceding him, Tang San subconsciously ignored her feelings.

He already had a good relationship with Dai Mubai and didn't think there was anything wrong with Dai Mubai. Now, after listening to his teacher's words, he did feel that Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat unaware of her own identity.

Her strengths cannot overshadow her biggest weakness. If she can complete the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the team's strength will increase dramatically, and both he and his teacher's wishes will be fulfilled. This is a good thing and beneficial to everyone.

Moreover, if they win, Zhu Zhuqing will not only survive but also become an imperial concubine, which will benefit her as well. It's time to persuade her.

"Teacher, how about I go talk to Fatty and the others, as well as Boss Dai, now?"

Tang San made a decision and consulted Yu Xiaogang.

"Yes, go ahead, it's better to resolve this as soon as possible. Remember what I said, if this problem isn't resolved, even if you continue training, the results won't be very good."

Yu Xiaogang gave him a very serious piece of advice and gave him an encouraging look.

"I understand, teacher. I won't let you down."

Tang San bowed respectfully and walked towards the three boys in the arena, mentally organizing what he was going to say.

In the shadows, Han Li's eyes flickered, his expression somewhat cold, as he cast a pitying glance at Zhu Zhuqing, who was sitting cross-legged cultivating to recover her soul power and physical strength.

Disgusting, absolutely disgusting—that was his feeling after listening to their entire conversation.

Even though he considered himself not a good person and a hypocrite, he was still disgusted after hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.
