Chapter 68: In contrast, poor Tang San
Just as Su Yuntao felt sad and disappointed when he saw that Si Si's face was full of yearning and expectation for that Spirit King senior, completely ignoring him.
A slightly tired voice began to sound from behind Su Yuntao.
Hearing this voice, Su Yuntao subconsciously turned his head to look, and the first thing that caught his eye was a young man dressed in coarse, patched clothes.
After seeing the young man's appearance clearly, Su Yuntao subconsciously frowned, but he quickly relaxed, and after briefly adjusting his mood, he spoke to the young man with a gentle smile.
"Oh, so it's Tang San. What, are you still here to collect the subsidy today?"
"Yes, Spirit Master Su Yuntao, besides collecting my own subsidy, I also picked up my teacher's subsidy for him!"
Tang San replied respectfully.
"Hmm, good child. It's truly the Grandmaster's luck to have such an obedient and sensible disciple like you, Little San. How is your strength now?! Also, how are Grandmaster's injuries now?! Is he better?"
Listening to Su Yuntao's concerned words, a hint of helplessness and pain flashed across Tang San's face, but he still forced himself to smile.
"Spirit Master Su Yuntao, thank you for your praise. And it is my luck to be able to become my teacher's disciple. My teacher has taught me many things! I have benefited greatly. As for my teacher, his condition is still the same, neither good nor bad.
My teacher's injuries have healed quite a bit. All the burned areas have grown new flesh, and he can also get out of bed and walk. Aside from being a bit low on energy and temporarily unable to do overly strenuous exercise, as well as needing my help with changing dressings and temporarily avoiding water, he's basically no different from before!
As for me, my spirit power has recently broken through to level twenty. My teacher said that in a couple of days, he will have the Dean take me to the Hunting Soul Forest to acquire my second spirit ring!"
Looking at Tang San's tired eyes and slightly helpless tone, Su Yuntao couldn't help but show a hint of pity on his face.
How could such a good child with innate full spirit power encounter such a useless teacher?
It was bad enough that he was useless himself, but now he was also seriously injured and needed a child to take care of him.
Look at what Yu Xiaogang, that good-for-nothing, had done to Tang San.
Not only was the youthful vigor that a young person should have completely absent from Tang San.
Even Tang San's spirit power was dragged down by that good-for-nothing, Yu Xiaogang.
It actually took a full two years to break through from level ten to level twenty.
With Tang San's innate full spirit power level of talent, logically speaking, he should have reached level twenty much earlier!
Perhaps it was because he now had to both take care of Yu Xiaogang and cultivate, which severely slowed down Tang San's own cultivation progress.
Thinking of this, Su Yuntao opened his mouth multiple times, wanting to advise Tang San, but the words were on the tip of his tongue and he just couldn't say them.
Finally, he could only sigh heavily and swallow the words that were about to come out.
After a moment of disappointment, Tang San suddenly remembered the purpose of his visit to Su Yuntao and continued to ask.
"By the way, Spirit Master Su Yuntao, you just said that a Spirit King came to Saint Spirit Village. What exactly is going on?"
Upon hearing this, the pity in Su Yuntao's eyes grew even stronger.
After all, it was fine if Tang San didn't ask, but now that he did, Su Yuntao suddenly felt that Tang San was even more pitiful!
Although Sun Yu only had innate spirit power level one, at least he found a Spirit King level teacher.
In contrast, Tang San, whose strength and talent far surpassed Sun Yu, not only found a useless Grandmaster as a teacher.
Now, he even had to use his own cultivation time to help that good-for-nothing.
Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, Su Yuntao looked at Tang San and said.
"You're talking about this, you still remember Sun Yu, right? The Sun Yu who awakened his Spirit with you, who awakened the Iron Rod Spirit. The Spirit King who went to Saint Spirit Village is Sun Yu's teacher. He was passing through Nuoding City this time and happened to be brought back to the village as a guest by Sun Yu, who was home for the holidays..."
"That Spirit King who went to Saint Spirit Village is Sun Yu's teacher?!"
Tang San, who had been calm, immediately frowned upon hearing this.
A hint of jealousy and envy spontaneously arose in his heart!
A Spirit King, that's a Spirit King. The Dean of Notting Academy is only a Spirit Ancestor.
How could Sun Yu, a good-for-nothing who would find it difficult to break through to Spirit Grandmaster in his lifetime, find a Spirit King as a teacher?!
No, this is impossible....
Therefore, Tang San opened his mouth, his face bitter and full of disbelief, and continued to ask.
"Spirit Master Su Yuntao, are you mistaken? How could Sun Yu possibly become a Spirit King's disciple? My teacher said that Sun Yu's strength would be difficult to break through level twenty in his lifetime. How could a Spirit King possibly take him as a disciple?"
Looking at Tang San, whose expression was not quite right at the moment, Su Yuntao knew that Tang San's heart was already unbalanced.
"Whether he took him as a disciple or not, I don't know, but that Spirit King is indeed a teacher at the academy Sun Yu is currently attending. If he hadn't taken him as a disciple, that teacher wouldn't have needed to return to the village with Sun Yu, after all, you also know that Saint Spirit Village doesn't have the capital to entertain a Spirit King...."
Listening to Su Yuntao's explanation, the expression on Tang San's face became even more complicated.
Yes, if that Spirit King wasn't Sun Yu's teacher, then why would he follow Sun Yu back to Saint Spirit Village?!
Just like now, if I wanted to invite the Dean back to Saint Spirit Village, without my teacher showing up!
Would the Dean, a Spirit Ancestor, casually return to the village with me as a guest?!
Therefore, the situation was very clear: that Spirit King, even if not Sun Yu's teacher, had a very good relationship with Sun Yu...
Su Yuntao looked at the crestfallen Tang San at this moment, and for a while, he didn't know what to say. After a moment of silence, he spoke.
"Little San, let's go. I'll take you to collect the subsidy..."
"Oh, okay, thank you, Spirit Master Su Yuntao!"
With Su Yuntao's help, Tang San left Spirit Hall with his and Yu Xiaogang's subsidies.
He walked dejectedly towards Notting Academy.
When Su Yuntao returned to Si Si's side, intending to show some attentiveness, Si Si spoke with a look of disgust.
"Go wash your hands quickly. Didn't you smell that strong odor on Tang San? It's disgusting..."
Su Yuntao looked at the disgusted expression on Si Si's face, then awkwardly rubbed his hands and said.
"Si Si, Little San is actually quite a good child. He's like this mainly because he's taking care of his teacher!"
Because he was personally taking care of Yu Xiaogang, who couldn't bathe, Tang San also involuntarily picked up a mixed odor dominated by medicine, supplemented by sweat, and permeated with a fishy stench....
Listening to Su Yuntao's explanation, Si Si snorted disdainfully.
"Hmph, good child my foot. If Tang San were truly a good child, he should have helped when Sun Yu stood up for Saint Spirit Village a year ago, instead of using his connections to kick Sun Yu out of the academy. A brat who doesn't even care about his own roots, how can he be called a good child?"
