Tang Xiao wasn't in a hurry to take Tang San away; instead, he chatted idly with Li Qing and others.
During this conversation, Li Qing suggested that Tang Xiao bring another Title Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect to the finals.
The reason was fear that Bibi Dong might go mad, and having more Title Douluo would make Spirit Hall more restrained.
Tang Xiao readily agreed because that was his original plan; after all, the Clear Sky Sect now had more than two Title Douluo, so even if two went, there would still be people to guard the Sect.
"Young Master, your spicy Soft Bones Rabbit is ready."
At this moment, the cook brought a large plate of spicy Soft Bones Rabbit to the living room, which made Li Qing pause.
Were they going to eat Tang San's lover in front of him?
"Sky Roar Douluo, Little San, come and try it together.
This is a rare delicacy."
It's better to share joy than to enjoy it alone.
Since they were already here, he couldn't let them leave empty-handed.
Let them all savor the exquisite taste of Tang San's wife.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiao immediately became interested, took out his chopsticks, and picked up a piece of rabbit meat to put in his mouth.
He had eaten Soft Bones Rabbit before, but he had never tasted meat so tender.
Most importantly, the rabbit meat contained a significant amount of spirit power, clearly not from an ordinary Soft Bones Rabbit.
Tang Xiao looked at Li Qing and asked, "This Soft Bones Rabbit must be quite old, right?"
Li Qing just nodded without further explanation.
Tang Xiao picked up another piece and said, "To still retain such rich spirit power after cooking, it must be at least seventy to eighty thousand years old.
It truly is a rare delicacy."
When Tang San heard that it contained spirit power, he immediately forgot about Xiao Wu, picked up his chopsticks, and devoured a piece.
"Hmm?"
Feeling the spirit power contained within the rabbit meat, his eyes instantly lit up, and he even forgot the etiquette Tang Yuehua had taught him, devouring several pieces in a row.
"Little San!"
Unable to watch any longer, Tang Xiao couldn't help but let out a low growl.
It was indeed a good thing, but it wasn't worth being so impolite.
After all, how much spirit power could he gain even if he finished the entire plate?
Li Qing looked at Tang San with a half-smile.
If he knew that what he was eagerly devouring was the lover he was searching for, what would he think?
He probably wouldn't break down into schizophrenia, right?
"Uh—
Tang San finally reacted, his expression slightly awkward as he looked at everyone.
"No problem, everyone, please try it together."
Li Qing waved his hand indifferently, then invited everyone to join in.
Xiao Wu's true form wasn't very large, so it was impossible for everyone to eat their fill, especially with so many people.
They could only get a taste, and among them, Tang San ate the most.
After finishing the spicy Soft Bones Rabbit, Tang Xiao and Tang San took their leave.
"Uncle, Li Qing must have seen Xiao Wu, maybe Xiao Wu is in the Dugu Residence."
Tang San said, looking at Tang Xiao with anticipation, hoping he could help him find Xiao Wu.
Tang Xiao, however, did not answer directly but countered, "Then what? Are you going to sneak into the Dugu Residence to look for her?"
"This—"
Tang San was speechless instantly.
There were two Title Douluo in the Dugu Residence.
Even if he was an assassin in his previous life, it would be difficult to get out unscathed if he infiltrated the residence.
He was thinking of having his uncle sneak in to help him search.
Tang Xiao couldn't help but shake his head, earnestly advising, "Little San, to be honest, you truly disappoint me.
Your temperament simply doesn't match your talent."
"What you need to do now is constantly improve yourself, not get distracted looking for some Xiao Wu."
"I know Xiao Wu is very important to you, but without enough strength, what if you find her?
Do you have the ability to bring her out of the Dugu Residence?"
"This is a World where strength is respected; everything is built on the foundation of strength."
"Imagine, if your strength were sufficient, and you discovered Xiao Wu might be in the Dugu Residence, even if you forcefully searched the entire Dugu Residence, what could they do to you?"
"Without enough strength, and without self-awareness, how high do you think your future achievements can be?"
"To say something you might not like to hear, with your temperament, if it weren't for the Sect still having some reputation, do you think you would have walked out of Heaven on Earth alive back then?"
Tang San clenched his fists, saying nothing.
Tang Xiao, however, continued to press the point, "Li Qing's talent is not as good as yours, nor is his background, yet he has come this far.
Do you think he relied only on luck?"
"Let's not talk about talent, after all, that thing has a lot of luck involved."
"He was able to enter Heaven Dou Royal Academy on his own, establish a connection with Dugu Bo, win over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, take in the Breaking Clan, and marry into the Ye family."
"Can you do that? You can't, you can't even do the first point."
"Take the matter of you wanting to win over your father's old subordinates, for example.
If you truly wanted to win them over, you should have gone to their homes to apologize on behalf of your father, not arrange a meeting from a high and mighty position."
"The moment you put on airs as a Clear Sky Sect disciple, the outcome was already sealed."
"Because your father could still use 'unable to protect himself' as an excuse, but the Sect truly owed them.
Your only chance was to win them over in your father's name."
"The Sect background not only failed to become your aid but instead made you develop undue arrogance."
"If you didn't have this arrogance, if your ability to handle people were stronger, would I still need to step in to help you solve the matter of joining the first team?"
"If you can't even get along with Dai Mubai and the others, what's the point of joining the first team?"
"If it's just to participate in the competition, given your age, you could wait another five years.
With your and Dai Mubai's talents, winning the championship then wouldn't be difficult."
"Why be so impatient?"
Tang Xiao spoke a lot, and his words were harsh; he could be said to have belittled Tang San to nothing, but Tang San did not appreciate it, even though everything the other party said was true.
Who was he?
A peerless genius of the Tang Sect, how could he be the good-for-nothing in the other party's mouth who couldn't do anything right?
If he didn't want to help, then so be it, but he still spouted so much nonsense.
In the end, wasn't he just afraid of Dugu Bo and the others?
The Clear Sky Sect you lead isn't that great either.
You talk so nicely, but why don't you actually stand up for yourself?
Watching his own brother get beheaded is one thing; after all, Spirit Hall has so many years of heritage that it can't be caught up to in just a few years.
You can't even suppress Dugu Bo and them, and the position as the head of the Upper Three Sects is almost lost, yet you still have the nerve to lecture me.
"I understand, Uncle."
Although Tang San was unconvinced deep down, he also knew a fact: without the Clear Sky Sect, he was indeed nothing, so he naturally wouldn't express his true feelings.
Just wait, when I grow up, you'll know who was right and who was wrong.
Tang Xiao shook his head helplessly, because even though Tang San said he understood, he knew that the other party hadn't taken his words to heart at all.
This child is far inferior to his father; what a pity for that talent.
Forget it, everyone has their own fate; anyway, the twin spirits conflict cannot be resolved, so his expectations cannot be too high, after all, it's uncertain if he will even live to see that day.
