Chapter 96 Tang San Questions Life
Tang Hao was being pointed at and insulted with the word "bastard" repeatedly.
He was inwardly furious, but remained silent.
Tang Xiao, the eldest brother, was so angry that his face turned ashen.
"Shut up! You're not allowed to talk about my father like that."
The filial Tang San could no longer bear it. As a son, he could not tolerate others insulting his father like that.
The Seventh Elder was slightly taken aback, looked Tang San up and down, and then revealed a deep look of disgust.
"Get out of here, you little bastard. This is none of your business."
Hearing the Seventh Elder curse him with "bastard" and "mongrel" repeatedly, Tang San was so angry he almost exploded on the spot.
"Who are you calling a bastard?"
"So what if I told you? Aren't you just a bastard born from Tang Hao and that beast? You little bastard."
My eldest son was attacked and killed by the Spirit Hall while he was out shopping. Do you know why? It was because of that wretched child, Tang Hao. That wretched child provoked the Spirit Hall and implicated the sect.
The Seventh Elder glared at Tang San with disgust and anger, spitting all over Tang San's face as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Tang San became even more furious. "It was the Spirit Hall that killed your son, not my father. Instead of seeking revenge against them, you're pushing all the blame onto my father."
What are you running away from? What are you afraid of? Or are you just a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong, only good at bullying your own kind?
Tang San's words seemed to have touched a nerve with the Seventh Elder.
The latter immediately started hurling insults at Tang San like a shrew, calling him a bastard and using the most vile and vulgar language imaginable.
"You bastard..."
Tang San was unwilling to be scolded like a grandson, so he immediately argued back with the Seventh Elder.
At this moment, the two were in no different from shrewish women cursing in the street, with all sorts of foul language gushing out of their mouths.
"Enough, all of you shut up."
Seventh Brother, look at yourself! Control your emotions, or get out of here.
At this moment, the second elder, who was the most senior, couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted angrily, interrupting the two women's shrewish cursing.
These are all people of status; such vulgar and uncouth insults are utterly disrespectful.
"Shut up, you little brat." Tang Hao also shouted in a low voice, stopping Tang San, who was spewing filth, from continuing his cursing.
After calming both sides down, the Second Elder looked at Tang Hao and asked, "What are your plans now that you're back? How would you like us to help you?"
After the Second Elder finished speaking, something unexpected happened to everyone.
Tang Hao faced the Second Elder, then suddenly bent his knees and knelt down with a thud, touching the ground with his head.
He kowtowed three times in a row, duangduangduang.
"Second Elder, Tang Hao knows his crime, but the crime is solely mine and has nothing to do with Xiao San. Xiao San is innocent. I beg the Second Elder to have mercy and allow Xiao San to be recognized as a member of the clan."
After saying that, Tang Hao again
He kowtowed several times, one after another.
With tears in his eyes, Tang San also knelt down.
But he was kneeling before the Seventh Elder.
"Seventh Elder, I apologize on behalf of my father for the mistakes he made back then. I'm sorry."
But your real enemy isn't us, father and son, but the Spirit Hall, don't you think?
Tang San spoke with a sincere expression, and following Tang Hao's example, he kowtowed several times in succession.
Unexpectedly, the Seventh Elder was completely unmoved and sneered, "Does this make up for my grief over losing my son? Can it bring my son back to life?"
Moreover, Tang Hao has caused trouble, and it doesn't just affect me alone, but the entire sect. If he truly knows he's wrong, then he should commit suicide to atone for his mistake.”
Tang San completely ignored the Seventh Elder's words, letting them go in one ear and out the other.
He suddenly stood up, his gaze sharpening abruptly. "I believe that what happened back then shouldn't be entirely blamed on my father, but he was indeed at fault, implicating the sect. Therefore, I apologize to you."
But you insulted my mother before.
I must get an explanation for this.
Seventh Elder, I challenge you, even if it means death.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. No, a Soul Master challenging a Title Douluo? That's really reckless!
"Little San, stop talking nonsense." Tang Hao's face changed color. You're just a minor Soul Master with trash Soul Rings. What kind of challenge are you? What are you, a Title Douluo? A cabbage?
Tang San, his dark face raised, stubbornly said, "Dad, I know very well what I'm saying..."
Halfway through his sentence, Tang Hao raised his rough, fan-like hand and slapped Tang San hard across the dark face.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still. Tang San's body involuntarily spun around before crashing heavily to the cold ground. His cheeks instantly swelled up, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
Tang San's face was swollen, his eyes were full of grievance, and tears were welling up in his eyes, but he held them back from falling.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he remained silent, like a wounded puppy curled up in a corner, licking its wounds alone.
"Shut up! How have I raised you? Is this how you talk to your elders? Don't you have any manners at all?"
On the surface, this was a lesson for Tang San, but in reality, it was to save his life.
We can't really let Tang San challenge a Title Douluo, can we?
What if I get beaten so badly I poop out? Oh wait, what if I get beaten into serious trouble?
Sitting at the head of the table, Tang Xiao was extremely annoyed and frustrated, but he could only bite the bullet and try to ease the tense atmosphere.
"Alright, everyone, say less. The child is still young and doesn't understand. Seventh Elder, please don't hold it against him."
The Seventh Elder glanced disdainfully at Tang San, whose head was swollen like a pig's and whose eyes were brimming with tears. He didn't mention the challenge. He couldn't really bully the weak, or his lifelong reputation would become a joke.
"Ahem!"
With a dry cough, everyone fell silent.
As everyone knows, this is an old tradition: the leader always comes out last to make the final decision, in order to demonstrate their competence.
It's also a way of telling others, "I'm about to speak, so please be quiet."
Everyone looked at the Second Elder, wondering what this highly respected elder had to say.
The Second Elder looked at Tang Xiao and said in a deep voice, "Sect Master, the child is innocent. We really cannot blame Tang Hao for his mistakes..."
Blah blah blah...
After rambling on for a while, the gist of it is that Tang San can return to the Clear Sky Sect, but Tang Hao cannot.
Tang Xiao was very pleased; the Second Elder was indeed the most reasonable of the elders.
And so, Tang San successfully returned to his ancestral home.
Tang Hao remained in the Haotian Sect without any clear explanation; no one drove him away, but no one welcomed him either.
Most people didn't give Tang Hao a friendly look.
Life that followed was not pleasant either.
Because, very quickly, Tang San's reputation as a good-for-nothing spread throughout the Clear Sky Hammer community and became widely known.
Just like back at Notting College, everyone was laughing at him behind his back.
Another group of people, affected by the Tang Hao incident years ago, lost loved ones and were even more hostile towards Tang San.
They wouldn't let go of the fact that Tang San was a bastard born from Tang Hao and a soul beast, and they acted as if they wished Tang San dead.
Tang San never expected that his own people would treat him like this. Are they really from the same clan?
[P.S.: I guess this counts as a super update, hehe]
