"Truly, a tree without bark will surely die, a person without shame is invincible. Even Su Hao has the nerve to call himself friendly, yue~"
Meng Yiran looked at Tang Hao and Little San with disdain.
As soon as Su Hao's name was mentioned, Tang Hao felt uncomfortable, looking a bit awkward:
"Little girl, don't hold grudges so much. It was an accident back then."
"Hmph." Meng Yiran crossed her arms and snorted, maintaining her bad attitude.
Teacher Su also said coldly:
"Regardless of whether you're causing trouble or not, the Peach Garden doesn't welcome you. Get off."
"Hey, hey, hey, Dean Su, we came with sincerity. Is there really a need to be so heartless? Our Little San speaks very highly of you. There were indeed some conflicts between us and Peach Garden Academy in the past, but they were minor conflicts. It wasn't to the extent of being lifelong enemies, was it?"
Tang Hao rubbed his right shoulder. He was the one who got injured back then, and Peach Garden Academy didn't suffer any losses.
"Minor conflicts? Not to mention you attacking Teacher Su, you almost imprisoned and killed our Senior Sister Xiao Wu. You call that a minor conflict? Aren't you too shameless?!" Meng Yiran pouted.
Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er, Yu Hairou, Qiu Ruoshui, and other Disciples' eyes immediately sharpened, as if they had changed into different people, staring at Tang Hao and Tang San:
"We originally thought you just had some disagreements with the Academy, but we didn't expect you almost killed Senior Sister Xiao Wu? We don't want to get too close to people who bully our Senior Sister! Please leave the Peach Garden!"
"Little girl, you can't just say whatever you want. What killing? We never had any murderous intent towards Xiao Wu. Back then, I was raising Xiao Wu to be my daughter-in-law, so why would I kill her?"
"Tch, I'll believe it when pigs fly."
Shui Yueer said angrily. If it weren't for the Bibi Dong incident, which made them all realize that Senior Sister Xiao Wu was actually a 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast who had taken human form, they might have actually believed Tang Hao's nonsense.
"If Zhuqing hadn't injured Tang San with the Ghost Shuttle of the Other Shore back then, avenging Xiao Wu's leg injury, if you dared to show your face in front of me today, I would personally vent my anger for my Disciple."
"If Clear Sky Douluo wishes to test the power of my Peach Blossom Branch, then please do so."
Su Ran's hand produced a Peach Blossom Branch emitting a faint peach-red golden light, and he made a 'please' gesture towards Tang Hao.
Perceiving the unfathomable and peerless Qi field on Su Ran's body, Tang Hao swallowed, then turned and pulled Tang San, preparing to leave:
"Since Dean Su doesn't welcome this Douluo, then so be it."
"Eh?"
Tang San looked back at Su Ran. Several years had passed, and although he had been rejected many times, he still wanted to join Peach Garden Academy and see how big the gap still was between him and the Taoyuan students. He was always interested in exquisite Hidden Weapons and unique skills; otherwise, he wouldn't have secretly learned the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
"Teacher Su, then we'll see you on Sea God Island. I still hope you can give me a chance to become your Disciple. I will definitely study hard and become an excellent student in the Academy!"
"Little San, let's go. Since they have no intention of befriending us, why should we, the Disciples of the Clear Sky Sect, humble ourselves? Even if you're not a student of Peach Garden Academy, you still have the chance to become a top-tier powerhouse. By then, they'll realize who was short-sighted."
Tang Hao leaped with Tang San, landing on the shore of Purple Pearl Island.
Upon hearing this, Su Ran merely smiled faintly. It seemed that Tang Hao and Tang San held a great deal of resentment about his refusal to take Disciples and were still aiming to surpass Taoyuan Disciples to this day.
Since that was the case, he would completely shatter their confidence.
"Tang San, since you wish so much to enroll in Peach Garden, then I will give you a chance."
"Since you are going to Sea God Island, if you can surpass my Disciples in the Sea God's Legacy trial, then I will accept you as my Disciple. Otherwise, you must never mention this matter again. If you violate this, think about your teacher's fate."
A faint, clear, youthful voice came, making Tang San, who had just landed, tremble all over. He quickly turned back and cupped his hands towards the Peach Garden:
"Thank you, Teacher Su! This Disciple will do his best! I will not disappoint Teacher Su!"
When Tang San looked up, he realized that tears had welled up in his eyes.
Who could understand how long he had waited for this opportunity?!
He truly wanted to go to Peach Garden Academy, to see the teaching atmosphere there, and to learn the legendary Hidden Weapons of Hell.
"Little San, are you ready?" Tang Hao looked at Tang San worriedly. He only heard 'opportunity' and didn't catch the warning in Su Ran's tone. If Little San didn't win and still insisted on becoming a Disciple later, he might end up like Yu Xiaogang. He didn't want his only son to have his tongue cut out and legs broken.
"I will definitely surpass them."
"But, Father, what is the Sea God's Legacy trial?"
Tang San didn't yet understand the matter of the Legacy trial.
Even Tang Hao frowned and shook his head:
"Regarding the Legacy trial, I only heard my grandfather mention it once, that is, your great-grandfather. It is said to be a test for deities to find their successors. As for how it's specifically assessed, I'm not sure."
"Anyway, since Grandfather also went to Sea God Island, he must understand it. You'll naturally understand when we get to Sea God Island."
"Good!"
Tang San nodded, hope igniting in his eyes.
"Teacher, you're not really going to accept Tang San as a Disciple, are you?"
"If what Senior Sister Xiao Wu experienced is true, I don't welcome him..."
Shui Yueer mumbled to Su Ran while holding the antler of the Water-Repelling Golden-Eyed Beast.
"Therefore, in this assessment, you also need to go all out, otherwise, with Tang San's Aptitude, if he enters the Academy to study, I'm afraid he will dominate and surpass you all."
Su Ran said, and with one sentence, he ignited the competitive spirit of his Disciples.
"Then we won't give him that chance!"
"But, Teacher, you're the one who gave him this chance, so why do we have to make up for it? Isn't this tricking students? That's not a good teacher!"
"No, if we have to make up for it, that's fine, but if our assessment scores are better than Tang San's, Teacher, you have to give us a reward. Hmm... just kiss me! The 'bo~' kind of kiss!"
Shui Yueer raised her hand and said.
As soon as Shui Yueer made this suggestion, Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, and the others' eyes lit up, and they all agreed.
Even Shui Bing'er's cold face flushed slightly: "I think Yue'er is right. If students perform well, the teacher should give a reward."
"Mm!!!"
Xue Wu, Qiu Ruoshui, Yu Hairou, and the other beautiful students also nodded vigorously, looking at Teacher Su Ran expectantly:
"Teacher, students also need encouragement from Teacher~"
"A kiss and a hug can also bring the teacher and students closer and deepen their feelings. There's nothing wrong with it~"
"This..."
Su Ran felt the students' enthusiasm and was at a loss for a moment.
A kiss and a hug as a reward actually had no value at all. They could have asked for much better rewards, such as immortal flowers and Spirit Bones, or even for him to personally accompany them to hunt for their future spirit ring.
Yet, it was just a kiss that a young girl yearned for. Alas, these girls were truly a headache.
"Alright..." Su Ran sighed and nodded.
Seeing Teacher Su nod, Shui Yueer's face immediately broke into a brilliant smile, and she happily jumped on the deck:
"Yay! Teacher agreed! Teacher's kiss!"
"That's great!"
Conquering Teacher starts with a kiss and a hug!
Tang San, face our attack! We will definitely not lose!
Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, Meng Yiran, and Xue Wu all raised their fighting spirit!
Seeing the students suddenly become so excited, Su Ran was a bit confused:
These girls, isn't it just a kiss and a hug? Is there any need to be so happy?
Could it be that the best way to make students study hard and make progress is just a hug from the teacher?
Teaching and educating people is so simple after all!
"I am Zi Zhenzhu, seeking an audience with Sir!" Just then, a woman's voice came from outside the Peach Garden again.
