"Slander!"
"This is outright slander!"
"How could I possibly harbor such thoughts?"
"Rongrong, I really didn't expect you to see me this way. Your words have truly disappointed me. Regardless, we've been friends for so many years. Isn't it a bit too malicious to use such thoughts to speculate about your friend?"
Tang San spoke, his words filled with heartfelt anguish this time.
He even immediately put a big hat on Ning Rongrong.
Hearing him say this, before Ning Rongrong could respond, the Seventh Elder on the side immediately took over the conversation.
"That's hard to say. As the old saying goes, you know a person's face but not their heart. Who knows what you're truly thinking deep inside? After all, this isn't just anything; it's something that truly concerns your own vital interests.
How about this, why don't you ask the heavenly curtain and see what it says?
Whether or not you'll take the Spirit Bone, wouldn't that reveal the truth?"
Now that his emotions had calmed down, the Seventh Elder was no longer in a hurry.
Especially with the appearance of the heavenly curtain, it made him determined to change his strategy. Instead of acting directly, he wanted to win by attacking the heart. Only by doing so could he completely ruin the reputations of Tang Hao and his son.
And only then would his forced snatch Spirit Bone appear undeniably correct.
With this thought, he was only making his first attempt, but he never expected the effect to be surprisingly good.
Hearing his words, Tang Hao, who had just been full of shared indignation, immediately turned pale. As for Tang San, the person involved, there was even less to say.
At this moment, he was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, immediately jumping up and scolding the Seventh Elder, "Shut up, Seventh Elder, what right do you have to speak here? Don't mislead others here, okay?"
Seeing her like this, the Seventh Elder naturally smiled even more, saying, "How can this be called misleading others? Anyway, Ning Rongrong still has two chances to ask questions. She's already used one, so what's the big deal about using another?"
"That's not how it works..."
Tang San spoke, still wanting to explain something.
It was just a pity that Ning Rongrong was more decisive than the two of them at this moment.
She didn't feel that these so-called three questions were very precious at all.
When her princess temper flared up, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's ancestral lavishness and a spendthrift attitude also surged forth.
She looked completely uninterested in listening to them argue.
Then she looked up and actually asked the heavenly curtain another related question.
Of course, this time when she asked, she also used some technique, subtly phrasing her words. She didn't directly ask if Tang San would truly return the Spirit Bone to its original owner after Tang Hao's death, but rather indirectly asked about Tang San's attitude towards promises, if it would truly remain unchanged as he claimed.
Hearing her ask this, Tang San's face turned a bit pale.
However, in the next instant, the answer given on the heavenly curtain stunned everyone present.
Because this time, facing the crowd's question, the heavenly curtain uncharacteristically did not give a definite reply.
Instead, it very simply gave the answer of "Don't know."
It was easy for it to answer.
And this time, seeing the clear "Don't know" displayed by the heavenly curtain, the common people of the Douluo Continent were naturally astonished.
"Don't know!?"
"No, what does 'don't know' mean? Is there something in this World that the heavenly curtain doesn't know??"
"I thought this heavenly curtain was omniscient and omnipotent, damn it."
No one expected the heavenly curtain to give such an answer this time.
So, for a moment, everyone was stunned.
The heavenly curtain seemed to have anticipated what everyone was complaining and saying at this moment.
As a result, before everyone could finish speaking, it had already spoken, adding an explanation.
It clearly stated that it was not that the heavenly curtain could not predict the future, but that it could not give an accurate answer.
...
[After all, humans are very complex creatures.
Except for extreme hypocrites like Yu Xiaogang,
most people in this life cannot be accurately summarized in a single sentence.]
...
The heavenly curtain gave its solemn reply.
Hearing its supplementary reply, the previously perplexed crowd's expressions gradually calmed down.
Of course, not everyone could regain their composure.
At least Yu Xiaogang, upon seeing this, widened his eyes.
...
??!
No...
Speak as you will, but why mention me? What does this have to do with me, really? What does "extreme double standards" mean? Am I as outrageous as the heavenly curtain says?
...
It's no exaggeration. This time, Yu Xiaogang truly felt as if tens of thousands of alpacas were galloping through his heart.
A World where only Yu Xiaogang gets hurt was achieved again!
Compared to his teacher Yu Xiaogang's current depression and displeasure, Tang San's original hanging heart finally returned to his chest.
He even felt a bit of secret joy about it.
Although the heavenly curtain did not give any accurate answer this time, "don't know" was already an excellent answer.
It was much better than being confirmed.
With this answer, at least his persona in the Douluo Continent and in front of the Shrek Seven Devils hadn't completely collapsed.
Thinking this, he coughed twice, intending to take the opportunity to say a few more words.
However, this time, the words were on the tip of his tongue, and before he could speak and add anything, a new line of small characters immediately appeared on the heavenly curtain.
It clearly appeared before all the onlookers in the Douluo Continent.
[However, although a unified judgment cannot be made, Tang San's attitude towards the Clear Sky Sect will indeed differ in the future, not remaining consistent in word and deed as he claimed from beginning to end.
If not for the influence of the heavenly curtain, Tang San would return to the Clear Sky Sect for the first time when he is Level 59! At this time, he will be humble, respectful, and polite, showing no signs of resistance even when facing the aggressive Elders, instead bowing and apologizing proactively.
In contrast, his attitude when returning to the Clear Sky Sect at Level 97...]
Although the text was not extensive, upon seeing these words appear, the smile on Tang San's face instantly stiffened.
This time, he felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over him, chilling him from head to toe.
A familiar and extremely ominous feeling surged into his heart.
As expected, in the next instant, it wasn't just text. The light screen then directly Interception two scenes and displayed them in front of everyone, clearly making a comparison.
The first scene was Tang San at Level 59.
At this moment, he returned to the Clear Sky Sect. Facing Sect Master Tang Xiao, his expression was humble, his eyes even filled with sorrow and shame. He lowered his head and whispered softly, "A son repays his father's debts, Sect Master. I am willing to bear all responsibility for my father!"
