Yu Xiaogang was utterly depressed.
However, he couldn't show it.
After all, the heavenly curtain's image was still focused on them.
He didn't want his exasperated appearance to be seen by the Douluo Continent's onlookers again.
Yes, he was starting to learn his lesson.
After suffering several losses, he began to maintain his persona in front of the heavenly curtain.
Now, he sought no merit, only to avoid mistakes.
After all, being denounced by the entire population of the Douluo Continent was not something everyone could endure.
So this time, he was determined to lower his head, feign deafness and dumbness, and act like he was invisible.
It was a pity that he couldn't maintain his transparent act for long before he broke, speaking up to remind them again.
It wasn't that he wanted to meddle; it was truly because Tang Hao's current idea was too similar to his own previous one.
Now, after calming down, his first reaction was to try and prove himself by asking questions to the heavenly curtain.
"Based on my previous experience, let's not try to prove ourselves. Some things just get worse the more you explain them… It's better to just ask a few random questions and muddle through."
Heaven was his witness, Yu Xiaogang said this truly from the bottom of his heart, considering Tang Hao.
He didn't want Tang Hao to follow his old path and repeat his mistakes.
However, hearing him say this, Tang Hao became agitated, immediately glaring at him and cutting ties with Yu Xiaogang in a righteous manner, saying,
"What do you mean 'the more you explain, the worse it gets'? That's because you were already 'black' to begin with, alright?!"
"Do you think I'm like you?"
Tang Hao's expression was furious.
That one sentence choked Yu Xiaogang terribly.
His face turned green then pale, changing wildly as if it were a dye shop.
But due to Tang Hao's intimidating presence,
Yu Xiaogang didn't dare to say anything more.
After a humph, he could only remain silent.
Actually, it wasn't just Yu Xiaogang; the rest of the people also wanted to offer a few words of advice.
But upon seeing Yu Xiaogang's current predicament,
Everyone obediently shut their mouths and acted like mutes.
No one wanted to provoke Tang Hao at this moment.
Only Tang San spoke up, asking Tang Hao again,
"Dad, have you thought about what question you're going to ask the heavenly curtain next?"
"Of course."
"Didn't I just tell you?"
"Even in a parallel World, your mother Ah Yin would never leave us. She would still choose to be with me in the end."
"You don't believe me? I'll prove it to you now!"
Tang Hao was full of confidence.
After saying this, without waiting for Tang San to say anything more, he immediately began questioning the heavenly curtain.
It was just a pity.
Things did not go as Tang Hao had expected.
Hearing his question, the heavenly curtain responded without hesitation, giving a negative answer.
It even explicitly stated that Ah Yin and Yu Chen lived very happily together in the end.
Seeing the heavenly curtain's swift and decisive rejection,
Tang Hao naturally broke down.
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
"Ah Yin is a 100,000-year Spirit Beast. Besides me, who could resist the temptation of a spirit ring and choose to be with her? Besides, Bibi Dong is still around. How could the people of Spirit Hall just watch a 100,000-year Spirit Beast wander around in front of them and not be tempted?"
His words this time, besides the surprise, finally made him understand the good intentions of Tang San and Yu Xiaogang earlier.
However, at this point, trying to muddle through under everyone's watchful eyes was not so easy to do.
In his anxiety, he thought of his own son, putting on the act of a filial son in front of everyone.
Inspiration struck.
He instantly had an idea.
When he spoke again, he immediately put on a deeply affectionate expression and asked the heavenly curtain again.
He wanted to know if he was truly the person who loved and cherished Ah Yin the most in the World.
It had to be said, his question was truly ingenious.
He not only learned his lesson by not trying to compare himself to the parallel World's Yu Chen, thus avoiding direct competition with this powerful opponent.
He also cleverly shifted the focus of the question.
As long as the heavenly curtain gave an affirmative answer, combined with his decade of daily drinking and despondency,
It would instantly establish his persona as a doting and devoted husband.
With this preconceived notion,
When they then saw Ah Yin and Yu Chen together in the parallel World,
People would no longer think that Tang Hao was the problem.
They wouldn't think that Tang Hao was far inferior to Yu Chen.
Instead, they would place the main issue on Ah Yin.
They would envy her for being pursued by two such excellent men and even regret her giving up a devoted man like Tang Hao for Yu Chen.
After all, no matter what, Tang Hao was truly a one-woman man for life.
As for Yu Chen, just from the tokens of love, there were already 2-3 women confirmed to have connections with him.
No matter how you tried to spin it,
In terms of devotion,
Tang Hao absolutely crushed Yu Chen.
Tang San naturally thought of this too.
So after hearing these words, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
He sincerely praised his father, saying,
"Dad, that's a good question! A tricky angle."
"Of course."
Tang Hao was smug.
However, before he could turn around and boast a bit more,
The heavenly curtain surprisingly gave a negative answer again.
It clearly stated that Tang Hao's truest love was not Ah Yin.
Seeing this answer, before Tang Hao could even speak,
The Shrek Seven Devils couldn't hold back and questioned further.
They felt that this time, the heavenly curtain seemed to be deliberately slandering him.
For Ah Yin, Tang Hao lived in seclusion for so many years, willing to turn against Spirit Hall, leave the Clear Sky Sect, and even voluntarily give up the position of Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.
If someone said he didn't love her, no one would believe it.
So this time, not only the Shrek Seven Devils, but also many informed people on the Douluo Continent reacted the same way.
For the first time, they openly questioned the authority and rationality of the heavenly curtain.
Seeing so many people stand up for him,
Tang Hao couldn't help but feel a little touched.
However, before he could speak and say anything more,
Above the heavenly curtain, light flowed, and there was another change.
It surprisingly and rarely began to actively explain to the people of the Douluo Continent.
...
[The heavenly curtain is not questioning Tang Hao's love for Ah Yin, but merely stating the truth.]
[Because the lucky audience member just asked if Tang Hao's truest love was Ah Yin, not whether Tang Hao had affection for Ah Yin. These two questions have different answers.]
[Tang Hao naturally likes Ah Yin, but his truest love is not Ah Yin, but himself.]
[For more than ten years after Ah Yin's death, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol, and even his life needed to be taken care of by his own son. Is this love for Ah Yin? To love her, is this how you treat her offspring?]
...
Just a few simple sentences instantly silenced the previously incessant discussions, causing everyone to fall into deep thought.
While they were deep in thought,
Tang Hao, upon seeing this, became anxious and finally could not bear it, pointing at the heavenly curtain and cursing loudly.
He felt that the heavenly curtain was blatantly and intentionally targeting him.
Hearing him say this, Tang San's face next to him turned pale.
After calming down, he finally realized his recent verbal mistake.
However, it was too late to say anything now.
Above the heavenly curtain, terrifying light was already flowing this time.
It was clear that a related punishment was already brewing.
However, this time, the punishment for Tang Hao also greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.
