"Huh, how did he know?" Ling Yun was startled, then realized.
"Oh, right. After devouring Tang San that day, Ling Yun didn't clear away the bowls, chopsticks, and leftover food on the table."
As long as Tang Hao wasn't stupid, he would definitely know that Tang San had returned to Saint Spirit Village.
Ling Yun nodded decisively and answered directly.
"He did go back because I told him that you had visited the Academy. He couldn't understand why, as a father, you went to the Academy but could bear not to see him."
"So he didn't even eat dinner that day and returned to Saint Spirit Village overnight, but still couldn't see you."
Tang Hao's brows furrowed after hearing this. He always felt that the Master in front of him wasn't telling the truth, especially after hearing Old Village Chief Jack say that someone named Yu Xiaogang wanted to devour his son.
So he was somewhat wary of Yu Xiaogang. He released his perception to investigate Puppet Yu Xiaogang.
After probing for a while, Tang Hao did not perceive any abnormality in Puppet Yu Xiaogang, which made him retract his perception ability.
Ling Yun sneered inwardly. With Tang Hao's strength, he wanted to discern the identity of Puppet Yu Xiaogang? A fool's dream!
Not to mention that Puppet Yu Xiaogang was actually formed from Yu Xiaogang's original body, with no difference from the original, making it impossible for others to detect any abnormality.
Even if it was Yu Xiaogang disguised by Ling Yun using the Mimicry skill, he still wouldn't be able to detect it, unless one day Tang Hao could advance to the level of a God King.
Ling Yun frowned, showing a displeased expression.
"Your Excellency, Hao Tian, I admit that my Yu Xiaogang's strength is weak and doesn't meet your standards."
"But you don't need to use your perception to test me, do you? If you don't want your son to follow this useless person."
"You can take him to Heaven Dou Royal and let him enter Tiandou Royal Academy to study. I'm sure the teachers at Tiandou Royal Academy should meet your standards."
Seeing Ling Yun's displeased expression, Tang Hao let out a heavy sigh of relief.
"Master, there's no need to be so unhappy. You should know I didn't mean that."
"Since there's nothing, I'll leave first. I'll go see Little San later, lest he says I came to the Academy and didn't see him."
With that said, Tang Hao turned and left Puppet Yu Xiaogang's office.
Ling Yun sneered inwardly, and his mental force withdrew from Puppet Yu Xiaogang's body, returning to his own body.
However, Ling Yun remained lie on the desk, not getting up, so as not to alert the enemy.
It wasn't until the teacher, who was currently giving a lesson, brought up a relatively difficult question that no one in the class knew the answer to, that the teacher knocked on his desk.
Ling Yun lazily stood up from his desk, glanced at the question on the blackboard, and then slowly walked to the front of the podium.
He picked up a piece of chalk, unhurriedly wrote the answer and the thought process on the blackboard, then returned to his own desk and lay down to continue sleeping.
The teacher was already used to Ling Yun's behavior and explained the relevant knowledge points to the other students.
Next were other classes. Whenever the teachers talked about key and difficult points, and all the other students were completely stumped,
Ling Yun's desk would be knocked, and then Ling Yun would go up, take the chalk, write the answers freely on the blackboard, and then return to his desk to continue lying down.
Tang Hao, observing all of this from the shadows, didn't know whether to be angry or happy.
However, because of this, he also confirmed that Puppet Yu Xiaogang had not lied.
"It seems it's really as Master said, Little San studies with him until very late every night, which is why he's not energetic during the day."
The afternoon dismissal bell rang, and as soon as the teacher said class was dismissed, Ling Yun, like a spring, immediately became energetic.
He came to Xiao Wu's side, leaned his ear close to hers, and whispered to her.
"That fellow Tang Hao will meet us later. Remember not to let personal emotions get in the way, and don't be afraid."
"Just pretend you're seeing a stranger. Remember not to bear any resentment towards him, otherwise, he'll easily detect it."
Xiao Wu also nodded repeatedly. She now knew that Tang Hao's strength was at the Titled Douluo level.
If Tang Hao were to detect it, it would likely cause no small trouble, and what worried her even more was Tang San's great-grandfather, that 99th-level peak Douluo powerhouse.
After the two communicated, Ling Yun led Xiao Wu out of the classroom, trotting towards the cafeteria.
However, just halfway there, Tang Hao appeared, his eyes fixed on Ling Yun and Xiao Wu's clasped hands.
Ling Yun feigned surprise and stammered,
"Fa-father, why are you here?"
He quickly looked at Xiao Wu and introduced her.
"Xiao Wu, this is my father. You can call him Uncle."
Xiao Wu nodded obediently, bowed to Tang Hao, and sweetly called out,
"Hello, Uncle, I am Tang San's classmate…"
Being called 'Uncle' by a Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beast made Tang Hao's old face feel a bit awkward.
He nodded, showing a kind expression.
"Hmm, hello, little classmate. Can you please step aside for a moment? Little San and I have something to say."
Xiao Wu nodded and was about to leave to avoid suspicion. Ling Yun also directly let go of her, lest Tang Hao become suspicious and potentially harm Xiao Wu if they turned hostile.
After Xiao Wu left, Tang Hao glared at Ling Yun with a stern face.
"Little San, I, your father, never expected that you, who usually seem so honest and well-behaved, would hook up with a girl as soon as you arrived at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy."
Facing Tang Hao's questioning, Ling Yun shrugged and replied without thinking.
"What can I do? Who made me want a younger sister ever since I was little? But my mother died early, so my wish for a younger sister couldn't be realized at all."
"After coming to Nouding Academy, I met this little girl, and we got along very well, so I recognized her as my younger sister. There shouldn't be anything strange about that, right?"
Tang Hao rolled his eyes and cursed inwardly.
"You little brat, if you recognized an ordinary little girl as your sister, I wouldn't say much."
"But you, little brat, recognized a Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Beast as your sister. Are you serious?"
Tang Hao thought this in his heart, but he certainly couldn't say it directly, otherwise, he would scare his son.
"I don't care if you recognize her as your sister or your older sister, but you are not allowed to have early relationships."
"You're only 6 years old now, where do you get all these complicated thoughts? Understand?"
"Okay, understood, Father."
Ling Yun pouted unhappily. Did Tang Hao's family live by the sea? Why was he so nosy?
After resolving the issue of his son's early romance, Tang Hao's expression became serious again.
"Little San, a few days ago you suddenly ran home and found Old Village Chief Jack saying that Master wanted to devour you and control you with puppetry. What did that mean?"
"Don't worry, tell your father, and I will definitely help you get justice!"
