Tang San organized his thoughts, then said in a forced, joking manner, "Su Yan, you ordered such a lavish meal for Xiao Wu, but why is there a monkey at the table? What I mean is, isn't this a bit wasteful?"
Su Yan looked at Tang San, a strange expression in his eyes. Buddy, he thought. Is there a possibility that Xiao Wu is actually treating? And is there a possibility that I'm only getting to eat eight dishes because I'm riding on the Little Monkey's popularity?
Xiao Wu immediately understood Tang San's meaning, slammed her chopsticks on the table, put her hands on her hips, and glared at Tang San angrily.
"Tang San!" she demanded. "What did Little San ever do to you? Why do you always like to target him?"
Damn it! As soon San heard Xiao Wu's way of addressing a monkey, he felt like exploding! She calls me Tang San, but calls a Little Monkey Little San? Such an intimate address. Am I, Tang San, not even as good as a Little Monkey? Am I, Tang San, not even as good as Su Yan's Spirit?
Facing Xiao Wu's sharp questioning, Tang San replied somewhat righteously: "I'm not targeting it. I just think this meal isn't cheap, and giving it to a useless Spirit is a bit wasteful."
Su Yan felt like laughing inside. As a Spirit Beast, especially one with no family in the human world, Xiao Wu was naturally closest to the Little Monkey. Yet, Tang San constantly believed Xiao Wu was close to him, and he always used the Little Monkey as a way to attack Su Yan. Didn't he realize he was hitting the bullseye every time? Who tries to win a girlfriend by calling her younger brother a 'shark arm' before even succeeding?
Su Yan said with a serious expression, "Tang San, I don't agree with what you said! Your teacher, Yu Xiaogang, once famously said, 'There are no useless Spirits, only useless Spirit Masters.' My Little Monkey is not a useless Spirit!"
Xiao Wu, hearing Su Yan's words, looked at him and nodded in affirmation. She liked Su Yan; he was such a kind person who treated Spirit Beasts well.
This thoroughly choked Tang San; he even wanted to sentence Yu Xiaogang to a path of death. What kind of nonsense was that? Isn't a useless Spirit just a useless Spirit? When you said that, Teacher, was your brain kicked by a donkey?
"Hmph," Xiao Wu snorted coldly and continued to sit down and eat. This meal cost her a lot of money; she couldn't waste it just because she was angry with Tang San.
The Little Monkey, at that moment, very sensibly picked up a piece of green vegetable for Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu instantly brightened up and said with a smile, "Thank you, Little San."
Tang San watched from the side, his heart filled with an overwhelming Life Qi (anger)! He couldn't understand! He really couldn't understand! Even if a useless Spirit mutated and looked like a Spirit Beast, so what? What on earth was Xiao Wu thinking? Damn it. Evil Spirit. You also have a path to death!
Su Yan was eating happily when he glanced over and saw Tang San, half-dead with rage but not daring to act out because of Xiao Wu. He couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Pfft!"
This mouthful of rice sprayed all over Tang San's face, making him even angrier.
"Su Yan!"
Tang San stood up furiously, glaring at Su Yan and suppressing the urge to use Hidden Weapons to kill him. Su Yan truly has a death wish!
The Little Monkey sensed Tang San's malice, turned its head, and glared fiercely at him. If it weren't for having to obey its Master, it would have taken out its iron rod and smashed Tang San's head open.
Su Yan laughed awkwardly and said: "Sorry. I just suddenly remembered something funny. Tang San, do you know who is paying for this meal?"
Tang San, who was originally furious, was a bit confused when he heard Su Yan say this, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Su Yan looked at Xiao Wu and replied to Tang San: "Xiao Wu is paying for this meal."
"What!"
Tang San became even angrier now, looking at Xiao Wu with some disbelief, then at the table of lavish dishes. He couldn't accept it! Such a lavish meal actually cost Xiao Wu money? He himself wouldn't even bear to eat a single Carrot from Xiao Wu's savings! How could this scoundrel Su Yan stand up and trample on her generosity?
Damn it! You really deserve to die!
"Su Yan, are you even a man? How can you let Xiao Wu treat you to a meal and spend so much of her money?"
Su Yan looked at Tang San, put on a troubled expression, and said, "She insisted on treating."
He looked quite innocent, as if Xiao Wu had forced him to eat, which almost made Tang San die of rage.
"You…" Tang San's expression instantly darkened, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. "She insisted, and you accepted?"
"Didn't I tell you that Xiao Wu likes to eat Carrots, and she needs to save her money to buy Carrots? Didn't I tell you that?" Tang San was utterly annoyed. She wanted it, and you gave it to her? You scoundrel, don't you know how to refuse? Xiao Wu is going to run out of money for Carrots; don't you feel sorry for her?
Su Yan stood up, looked at Tang San with a strange look in his eyes, and deliberately said, "She insisted, oh no! She insisted on treating, and I had no choice but to accept." The three divine techniques from the novice gift pack gave him enough confidence, and his spirit power had also increased by several levels. In every aspect, the current Tang San was nothing.
You bullied me before the Taijun arrived, and you still bully me after the Taijun arrived? Then the Taijun came for nothing.
Xiao Wu also stood up at that moment, retorted to Tang San in an ill-tempered manner: "Tang San, are you full and have nothing better to do? What does it have to do with you if I spend my own money?"
This made Tang San even angrier! Su Yan, you are definitely on a path to death.
Yu Xiaogang's Intervention
Suddenly, a voice came from the stairwell. "What are you doing?"
Yu Xiaogang walked over from the stairs. He could tell that the three of them were having a conflict. He focused his gaze on Su Yan, with a hint of disgust in his tone: "Su Yan, hurry up and apologize to Little San!"
"Uh?" Su Yan frowned, looking at Yu Xiaogang, and said unhappily: "Yu Xiaogang, is it polite of you to ask me to apologize without knowing the full story?"
Yu Xiaogang replied coldly: "This matter doesn't need right or wrong. Setting aside the facts."
"Su Yan, don't forget you're a useless Spirit Master. If it weren't for you and Little San being from the same hometown all these years, if Little San hadn't looked after you, could you have stayed safe in the Academy without being bullied?"
Su Yan was almost amused to the point of anger. "Heh! Truly Heaven-Defying words."
Xiao Wu said with a speechless expression, "Yu Xiaogang, Su Yan has such good popularity in the Academy, who would want to bully him?"
Yu Xiaogang, however, persisted: "That's because of Tang San's connection. In short, Su Yan, you apologize to Tang San, and this matter will be over."
"Tch!" Xiao Wu was even more speechless, saying, "Clearly, Tang San has fewer friends in the Academy than Su Yan."
Su Yan glanced at Tang San, then looked at Yu Xiaogang and asked: "What if I don't apologize today?"
One Tang San at level 28, one Yu Xiaogang at level 29. Su Yan could take on both Master and Disciple together and blast them with one hand!
Yu Xiaogang saw that Su Yan was so insensible and became somewhat annoyed, his gaze even more disgusted: "Little San is a Genius, and you are just a useless Spirit Master with no hope of becoming a high-level Spirit Master. You will still need Little San to look after you in the future. Are you sure you want to have a conflict with Little San?"
Su Yan sneered: "You need to be clear. Xiao Wu and I were eating; Tang San came to cause trouble, and I'm not trying to have a conflict with him."
"Secondly, in these six years at Nuoding Academy, Tang San has never stood up for me. Even if you said Xiao Wu covered for me, I'd admit it, but Tang San did not."
"Good. Don't regret it!" Yu Xiaogang gave Su Yan a cold glance, then focused his gaze on Tang San and said: "Little San, let's go."
