Chapter 284: Xue'er Is Here to Play with You
If Zhao Ling were a descendant of Qian Renxue, Tang San could understand why the other party would seek revenge. After all, he had completely destroyed the Spirit Hall, leaving Qian Renxue behind as a mere shadow of herself.
Reflecting on the events with Qian Renxue in the illusion, Tang San felt conflicted.
Now, however, he believed that if he had known sooner that her descendants would travel back in time to exact revenge—and set such a huge trap for him—he would have acted quite differently.
Tang San would undoubtedly have killed Qian Renxue without hesitation, ensuring no potential danger remained.
If Zhao Ling knew that, in Tang San's estimation, he had become Qian Renxue's descendant, he would undoubtedly slap him across the face.
"You're my descendant. I am your mother's husband now. You should call me 'father.' Please stop making these random guesses; you've lowered my lineage so much. How am I supposed to date my Xue'er in the future?"
Yu Xiaogang and Master Tang San both frowned.
They certainly didn't want Zhao Ling harboring deep-seated hatred against them, as any profound resentment would surely complicate their future lives.
"Hey, if this keeps up, I don't know how long we can stay at Notting Junior Soul Master Academy," Yu Xiaogang sighed heavily, feeling a headache coming on.
"Let's take it one step at a time. If we can't stay here, we'll go to Dean Flanders for help," Tang San replied without hesitation.
"Dean Flanders? Who is that?" Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, surprised that he hadn't heard of any of the individuals his disciple referred to.
"Huh? Teacher, you don't know him? He's your sworn brother, along with your mistress."
Tang San was puzzled. It was one thing for his teacher and mistress to be unaware of him, but how could even Dean Flanders escape his teacher's memory?
"What? Sworn brother? Master has a sworn brother???"
This time, Yu Xiaogang was taken aback. What was happening? Had his life contained so many unknowns?
"Pa…" Tang San lightly slapped himself on the forehead and said to his teacher, "Teacher, it seems you missed many things and people during those five years you were locked in that dungeon."
"Isn't that right? If the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family hadn't been inexplicably bombed that day, my father and uncle wouldn't have had the chance to close the dungeon door where I was trapped. I'd probably still be locked up for at least another ten years."
Yu Xiaogang sighed, a note of distress in his voice.
"Even if I hadn't been locked up for ten years, I would have still had to marry my eldest sister-in-law. What a huge deal! Now I've heard that after the bombing of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, the entire sect vanished. I don't even know what became of my family…"
Yu Xiaogang shrugged helplessly, clearly moved by Tang San's grievances.
"Teacher, your father was really cruel to you. You can't blame yourself for your brother becoming a fool. Wasn't it all Zhao Ling's fault? He couldn't get revenge on Zhao Ling but instead blamed you—that's cowardice in itself."
Tang San snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Yu Yuanzhen.
That old man had locked up his teacher for five years—five years! How many five-year stretches must one waste?
Had his teacher not escaped, he would have been imprisoned even longer. How could he not stand up for him?
Yu Xiaogang felt a warm glow hearing Tang San defend him.
This disciple was truly a good one; he cared more for him than his own father, second uncle, or the elders. Unlike his father and uncle, who always deemed him a waste and blamed him for his brother's foolishness.
"Xiao San, I'm very glad to hear that. Are you hungry? I'll go to the cafeteria and buy you some food."
Yu Xiaogang gently touched Tang San's shoulder and turned to leave the ward.
After he departed, Tang San's expression gradually darkened as he glanced at Zhuge Shennu.

The scene then shifts back to Zhao Ling's mansion. At this moment, he sat playing chess alone while his beauties had gone to work at Lan Ba Academy.
Originally, Zhao Ling thought that Ayin, Arou, and Liu Erlong had been pregnant for about ten years, following Dong'er's 16-year schedule; they still had about five or six more years to go.
However, they shouldn't be going to college every day now—it would be better for them to stay home and rest.
But they felt uneasy staying at home with Zhao Ling; they didn't dare to relax around him.
Given his intense personality, they couldn't assure themselves that he wouldn't behave strangely.
The best way to escape from their husband's antics was to head to college. Most importantly, each of them held high-ranking positions at the academy.
As long as they organized their work daily, their subordinates would take care of the rest.
After all, salaries at Blue Bully Academy were incredibly high—double that of Tiandou Royal Academy.
Who wouldn't work hard for that kind of money?
Leaders at the academy basically just lounged around, sometimes playing cards or Mahjong together. College life without the husband's constant nagging was incredibly enjoyable.
Zhao Ling found himself speechless. Did they truly believe he was a beast? Was this some kind of joke?
Did they think he didn't know they weren't suitable for intimacy right now? He hadn't dared touch them since the eighth year of their pregnancy!
As for the others, there was no chance they would stay home either; they feared Zhao Ling's lustful obsession might lead to something awkward.
Therefore, Zhao Ling was left alone at home. Just when he was about to lose his mind from boredom, there came a knock at the door.
Confused, Zhao Ling stood up and walked quickly to the entrance and opened it.
A gentle, handsome young man stood outside.
Upon seeing Zhao Ling, the young man respectfully bowed, clasping his fists together. "Qinghe greets foster father."
However, when he said "godfather," the boy's expression grew unnaturally stiff, as though he'd just bitten into something unpleasant.
Zhao Ling found the boy's awkward demeanor amusing.
A gentle smile spread across his face. "Well, Qinghe, come in."
The boy nodded and entered, moving with the graceful gait of a tiger or dragon.
Zhao Ling glanced back at the door and noticed someone else following, so he closed it behind them.
As the door shut, the boy's appearance instantly transformed into a stunning girl with long golden hair. She walked straight into Zhao Ling's arms and playfully reached up on tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek.
"Brother Ling, Xue'er is here to play with you."
