Part 3 - Tang San's Father

For several days, Su Fan feels that someone has been spying on him and Xiao Wu. Because of this, he decides to investigate the matter. He removes the bandage from his left eye, revealing a 6-tomoe Rinnegan. Su Fan then activates his eye's ability and opens a portal out of the academy.

After arriving at a secluded corner of the city where no one is around, Su Fan begins his mission. He starts by searching from the academy to various corners of the city. With the help of his Sharingan, Su Fan can easily identify soul masters with just one glance. Not long after, he is shocked by his discovery.

"I just remembered Tang San's father!"

The one spying on them is Haotian Douluo. After realizing this, Su Fan immediately leaves using his Rinnegan's ability. Meanwhile, Tang Hao, Tang San's father, senses that someone has just been watching him. However when he looks around he finds nothing at all.

"Was it just my imagination? It seems like my instincts are getting dull."

Su Fan, who has just arrived in his room, sees Xiao Wu already lying in bed. She watches as Su Fan steps out of the portal, revealing his left eye to her for the first time.

"Su Fan?!"

Without wasting time, Su Fan walks over and holds her shoulders.

"Xiao Wu, you haven't done anything bad to Tang San, have you?"

Hearing Su Fan's question, Xiao Wu can only scratch her cheek.

"Actually..."

"Xiao Wu, it's better if you apologize tomorrow and try to befriend him."

Hearing Su Fan's request, Xiao Wu becomes angry.

"Why should I apologize to that ugly guy? You didn't see how arrogant he was yesterday."

"Xiao Wu, he is the son of a Titled Douluo."

"What did you say?!"

Xiao Wu immediately trembles upon hearing Su Fan's words. Her body turns cold. Seeing Xiao Wu become so weak, Su Fan sits beside her and lets her lean on his shoulder.

"Xiao Wu, do you trust me?"

Xiao Wu looks into Su Fan's eyes, and for a moment, they gaze at each other. Finally, she nods.

"Xiao Wu, I have known your true identity since we first met."

"Su Fan, I..."

Su Fan places his index finger on Xiao Wu's lips.

"I don't care whether you're a spirit beast or not. That's why I will help you deal with this. You have two choices."

"Su Fan, what are my options?"

"First, get along with Tang San. With his mother's background, I believe Tang Hao won't harm you because Tang San's mother was also a spirit beast."

Hearing Su Fan's explanation, Xiao Wu feels slightly relieved.

'I might remind him of his wife.'

"Then what's the second option?"

"I will take you back home using my eye's power. As you saw earlier, I can create portals to anywhere I want. But this option is risky because I might pass out after making a long-distance portal and cannot accompany you in there. And since I have never been to the Star Dou Forest myself, the portal might appear randomly there."

After explaining, Su Fan waits for Xiao Wu's answer. Thinking about her mother's unfulfilled revenge, Xiao Wu clenches her fists.

"I choose the first option!"

Six Years Later, Fasno Province, Heaven Dou Empire, Soto City

With Su Fan's help, Xiao Wu and Tang San's relationship has improved. As Tang San gets to know Xiao Wu better, he unknowingly develops feelings for her. His affection grows, and he expresses it by generously giving her many things. However, Xiao Wu dislikes Tang San's generosity because in her eyes he is two-faced. She has seen him display this behavior multiple times which makes her despise him. Still she doesn't openly show her dislike because she knows Tang Hao could be watching at any time.

On the other hand, her affection for Su Fan continues to grow. The main reason is that Su Fan possesses all the qualities a woman could want—handsome and strong. To express her feelings, Xiao Wu often teases Su Fan with bold actions. Su Fan can only shake his head at her behavior.

Tang San meanwhile is not oblivious to the closeness between Su Fan and Xiao Wu. However he remains determined to win Xiao Wu's heart believing that Su Fan's indifferent attitude toward Xiao Wu means he still has a chance.

Currently, the three of them are strolling through the streets of Soto City. Su Fan, who once had a cute face, has now grown into a handsome young man. His outfit is changed to when he was in Hebi team. His cold and cool aura makes him seem unapproachable, yet people still admire his looks especially girl when they see Su Fan appearance. All of the girl is looking at his fully displayed smooth and perfect shape of his chest and a little part of his irresistible abs which make a lot girl becomes a nympho on the spot.

Xiao Wu has now grown into a more beautiful young woman. Her feminine features have started to develop, and her long, slender legs give her an elegant and tall appearance.

Tang San, on the other hand, has grown to be half a head taller than Xiao Wu but still a head shorter than Su Fan. As they walk together, it becomes clear that Tang San looks like a third wheel because Su Fan's presence makes him seem out of place next to Xiao Wu.

"Tang San, you really should thank Brother Fan. Otherwise, I wouldn't even want to go with you to enroll in that strange academy."

Tang San nods at both of them.

"Then, thank you for coming with me, especially you, Su Fan."

"It's no problem. I just hope the academy your teacher recommended isn't below my expectations."

"Don't worry, Su Fan. My teacher's choice won't disappoint you."

Su Fan just exhale knowing the that the academy will be out of standard. The three of them continue exploring the city until they come across a three-story red building. This building catches Xiao Wu's attention, and she pulls on Su Fan's sleeve.

"Brother Fan, that hotel is so beautiful! I really like its color. How about we rest there?"

However, when Su Fan sees the hotel's emblem—a rose—he becomes skeptical because he is sure this is not an ordinary hotel. While Su Fan is still thinking, Tang San takes the initiative to speak.

"Su Fan, Xiao Wu seems to want to stay here. Even if it's expensive, we're only staying for one night."

'Damn it, is this kid calling me stingy? Does he really not realize that this isn't an ordinary hotel?'

Seeing that he has been outvoted, Su Fan decides to nod in agreement, and the three of them walk into the hotel.
