Chapter 34:The heartbroken mistress urgently needs the master's comfort
In an instant, Sun Yu's words completely silenced Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Their previous aggressive expressions immediately turned into a blush of shame.
Putting themselves in the scenario Sun Yu described, Tang San admitted he couldn't have endured it.
After all, the few bronze coins he earned from blacksmithing were his only money to buy rice.
If he didn't even have money for rice, no matter how precocious he was, he would have starved to death without food.
Xiao Wu also looked at Sun Yu with a flushed face upon hearing this, unable to utter a single word.
She didn't even notice that Sun Yu had called her Xiao Wu instead of Xiao Wu Jie.
She prided herself on being Xiao Wu Jie of Notting Academy, and by all accounts, she should protect her younger brothers; yet, she had conspired against one of them in such a way, an act that truly made Xiao Wu feel ashamed!
The other work-study students in Dorm 7 also looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu with complex expressions after hearing Sun Yu's words.
They hadn't expected that Tang San, being from Saint Spirit Village, would not only fail to speak up for his fellow villagers but also attempt to force Sun Yu, who was helping a fellow villager seek justice, to apologize to that noodle shop owner.
Such behavior undoubtedly made them, still children, feel extreme disdain and dissatisfaction.
After all, they knew the price of the noodles at that shop.
Xiao Wu had mentioned it more than once in front of them.
"But, but you shouldn't bully the weak! They are ordinary people, but you are a Spirit Master. It's wrong for you to bully them… "
Seeing Tang San fall silent, Xiao Wu bit her lip and spoke up.
"Those four or five big men were going to beat my elder, Uncle Zhang. If I hadn't intervened, Uncle Zhang would have at least had his leg broken. Xiao Wu, if your father or mother were surrounded by several strong men about to be beaten, and you had the ability to help, would you rush in to help?!"
"I…"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu opened her mouth, her originally flushed face instantly turning pale.
Because she thought of her mother—wasn't her mother killed in exactly that way?
Hunted down and killed by people from Spirit Hall...
On second thought, it seemed Sun Yu was right…
If she had the strength, there was no doubt she would have unhesitatingly rushed in with Da Ming and Er Ming to help, because that was her mother!
Immediately, Xiao Wu's face turned deathly pale, as if she had fallen into some terrifying memory, her expression becoming incredibly dazed, and small pearls of tears welled up in her pink eyes, as if ready to fall at any moment.
Tang San saw his sister Xiao Wu's face turn pale from what was said and immediately grew anxious.
"Sun Yu, why are you talking to Xiao Wu like that? Xiao Wu is still a child!"
"Tang San, if Xiao Wu is a child, then am I not? Last year I called her Xiao Wu Jie for a whole year, and now she actually wants to harm the collective interests of our Saint Spirit Village.
Tang San, you also came from poverty, and you are also from Saint Spirit Village. Do you think this matter is right?! Shouldn't Xiao Wu Jie be protecting us? Why is she turning her back on us and making me apologize to the person who bullied us?"
Hearing this, Tang San's expression also froze, unsure of what to say.
By all accounts, Tang San couldn't think of any words to refute.
Then, his eyes tinged with purple, he stared at Sun Yu with a grim expression.
He hadn't expected that Sun Yu, who was always quiet and seemed not good with words, would speak so decisively and assertively!
He had been directly countered, leaving him utterly speechless.
"Things have come to this, Tang San. I don't think there's anything more for me to say to you all. Finally, I can only say that you have been out of touch with the common people for too long; you have forgotten your roots.
You might not know that six years ago, it was my grandfather who, against all opposition, allowed your father and you to live in Saint Spirit Village, helped you build a house, and took care of your business. Tang San, honestly, I can understand you not helping those fellow villagers who encounter difficulties but have nowhere to seek justice.
After all, you have your path to walk, and the villagers have theirs. The two are inherently parallel lines, perhaps never to intersect again!
But what you absolutely should not have done is to help the noodle shop owner, who sells a bowl of noodles for one silver coin, to deal with your own people with Xiao Wu.
And it was even done without the noodle shop owner asking you; you two voluntarily took on the responsibility. Honestly, I really can't understand why you and Xiao Wu would do that… "
After speaking, Sun Yu ignored them and continued to tidy his belongings, while Tang San, unable to bear the strange looks from those around him, quickly left Dorm 7 with a pale-faced Xiao Wu.
The atmosphere inside Dorm 7 also solidified with Tang San and Xiao Wu's departure.
However, this deathly silent atmosphere did not last long. After tidying his internal affairs, Sun Yu stood up and spoke to the members of Dorm 7.
"Let's go, brothers, to the cafeteria to eat. My treat! To celebrate me obtaining my first spirit ring!!"
"Alright, Yu Ge is generous!!"
"Yu Ge is generous!!"
The Dorm 7 residents, who had originally thought Sun Yu was in a bad mood and thus dared not approach him, had even lowered their own conversations significantly.
Therefore, upon seeing Sun Yu offer to treat them to a meal, they were both relieved and incredibly excited.
After all, they could also feel that being with Sun Yu was much more comfortable, without so many twists and turns.
When they were with Tang San and Xiao Wu, they always felt something was off…
However, after witnessing today's scene, they realized that it was because Tang San was an ungrateful and hypocritical fellow.
If Sun Yu and Tang San hadn't had this confrontation, they might not have felt this way, but after seeing what happened today, they increasingly felt that Tang San was not as well-behaved and sensible as he appeared on the surface.
Meanwhile, Sun Yu led the work-study students in a grand procession to the second floor of the cafeteria to order food! Tang San, on the other hand, was questioning life due to Sun Yu's words and planned to seek out Yu Xiaogang for a talk.
Upon arriving at Yu Xiaogang's residence, Yu Xiaogang looked at the disheartened Tang San and Xiao Wu and asked with curiosity.
"Little San, what's wrong with you two!? Why do you both look so out of sorts? Did you encounter any problems during cultivation?"
After confirming that Tang San was the son of Clear Sky Douluo, Yu Xiaogang became even more attentive to Tang San!
If Yu Xiaogang could currently use his family's resources, he might even use them to help Little San improve his strength.
Looking at his teacher's concerned expression, Tang San immediately recounted his conversation with Sun Yu in Dorm 7 to Yu Xiaogang in its entirety.
"Teacher, was I really wrong about this? Sun Yu even said I forgot my roots… I…"
Tang San murmured with a bewildered look in his eyes.
His heart was incredibly complex.
