Chapter 2: Addressing Titles at Work

Chapter 2: Addressing Titles at Work

As everyone knew, Tang Ya was the current leader of the Tang Sect. However, the Tang Sect was a rather peculiar organization. Back when he read Absolute Tang Sect, he already felt that the sect's members were stuck in an outdated "ancestral teachings cannot be changed" mindset, spending their days obsessing over hidden weapons.

Even when the Sun Moon Empire arrived and everyone realized that soul tools were far superior to hidden weapons when hidden weapons were utterly crushed in the market by soul tools the Tang Sect still insisted on making hidden weapons every day.

It wasn't until Tang Ya took charge that things started to change. She realized that the best course of action was to integrate soul tools with hidden weapons.

And the most absurd part? In the original story, Bei Bei once mentioned that Tang San's martial soul was the Blue Silver Emperor. Yet, in order to commemorate Tang San, every leader of the Tang Sect after him had a Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

Wasn't that complete nonsense? They knew Tang San had the Blue Silver Emperor, yet they still made soul masters with ordinary Blue Silver Grass the leaders of the Tang Sect?

The difference between an ordinary Blue Silver Grass martial soul and the Blue Silver Emperor was massive.

So, many people with Blue Silver Grass martial souls really were, as Blind Douluo Su Yuntao once said, useless soul masters.

At that moment, Tang Ya stepped forward, her eyes lighting up with delight as she looked at the grilled fish in Huo Yuhao's hands. "Little brother, could you sell me some grilled fish? It smells so good it must be delicious!"

Her gaze was fixed intently on the grilled fish, as if she couldn't tear her eyes away. Huo Yuhao felt that if Tang Ya didn't get to eat the fish soon, she might start drooling.

He had to admit, Huo hanger style grilled fish was strong. Even in Shrek City, where merchants were everywhere, Huo hanger style grilled fish still ranked among the top selling foods. In fact, in the original story, when Huo Yuhao was still weak in the early stages, he gained initial recognition by selling grilled fish.

Huo Yuhao kept his age and character setting in mind, so he acted accordingly. A slight blush appeared on his face as he played the part of a young boy. "Big sister, I'll treat you to some!"

"Really? Then I won't hold back!" Tang Ya happily stepped forward, picked up a grilled fish, and began devouring it. After finishing, she looked at him in amazement. "Little brother, your grilled fish is amazing! Even in Shrek City, I've never had grilled fish this good! I feel like if you went to Shrek City to sell grilled fish, you'd make a fortune!"

Beside her, Bei Bei smiled. "Xiao Ya, you're misleading this little brother. The competition in Shrek City is fierce. If he blindly enters the market, he might end up losing money instead."

Tang Ya pouted. "You'll understand once you taste it this grilled fish is incredible. Also, what do you call me when we're outside?"

"My mistake, Teacher Xiao Ya." Bei Bei immediately gave in, a hint of flattery in his smile.

Watching this exchange, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but complain internally. Oh, so you use titles while working, huh?

Calling her 'Teacher' outside, but when you two are alone…? Am I also part of your little roleplay?

"Hmph, that's more like it," Tang Ya said, handing a skewer of grilled fish to Bei Bei. "Here, try it."

Bei Bei took the fish and started eating.

Soon, his eyes lit up in surprise. "Not bad, not bad! Little brother, where did you learn to cook like this?"

"I learned from my mother," Huo Yuhao replied, an image of Huo Yun'er flashing in his mind.

"I see." Bei Bei nodded, then introduced himself. "Little brother, my name is Bei Bei, and she is Tang Ya. What's your name?"

"Big brother, my name is Huo Yuhao," Huo Yuhao replied.

"Huo Yuhao…" Bei Bei pondered for a moment before engaging Huo Yuhao in conversation. Huo Yuhao casually responded while eating his fish, and Tang Ya occasionally joined in. After a short while, Huo Yuhao stood up and bid them farewell.

He hadn't forgotten that his main goal in coming to the Great Star Dou Forest was to find Brother Tianmeng and Electrolux. Both of them were extremely important to him.

In the early stages, Brother Tianmeng played a crucial role. Although Huo Yuhao had the Spirit Eyes martial soul, his innate soul power was only at rank one. If not for Brother Tianmeng rewriting his fate at the start, Huo Yuhao's path would have been extremely difficult.

Brother Tianmeng could also help him capture the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, allowing him to gain a second martial soul.

Without Brother Tianmeng's assistance, Huo Yuhao wouldn't even have had the chance to meet the Ice Empress. After all, she was one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Extreme North!

Of course, the Ice Empress also became one of Huo Yuhao's hacks later on.

Huo hanger, Huo hanger without hacks, how could he be called Huo hanger?

But there was something about Absolute Tang Sect that had always frustrated him Huo Yuhao's setup was actually far more luxurious than Tang San's had been back in the day.

Yet, in the end, Huo Yuhao only became the God of Emotions. The God of Emotions was strong, yes, but it was just a first level god. It wasn't even close to being a match for the Asura God at most, it could serve as Asura God Tang San's assistant.

"But luckily, I know the plot. There's no way I'm becoming Tang San's dog in this life! I need to figure out a way to get a stronger god position. Otherwise, being suppressed by Asura Tang San would be unbearable."

With that thought, he continued forward, step by step, into the Great Star Dou Forest. He was about to face the Wind Baboon.

According to his memories, Brother Tianmeng had appeared near that very Wind Baboon the one that had nearly killed a god!

So, even though it was risky, he had to go there if he wanted to meet Brother Tianmeng.

Behind him, Tang Ya said, "Bei Bei, I want to recruit Yuhao into the Tang Sect. Should we follow him now? I can sense that he has soul power, which means he can become a soul master!"

Bei Bei smiled bitterly at her words. The current Tang Sect had already declined; it was nothing like it had been ten thousand years ago. So, usually, they couldn't recruit people with exceptional talent.

To most outsiders, the Tang Sect was outdated.

For many people, the most attractive thing about the Tang Sect was its annual recommendation slot for Shrek Academy.

That slot was highly valuable to certain individuals.

However, joining the Tang Sect was a lifelong commitment. Once someone joined, they couldn't leave. And if they did leave, they had to return everything they learned from the Tang Sect. Because of this, very few people were willing to bind themselves to the sect just for an admission slot.

After all, the Tang Sect had even lost its foundational headquarters to the Ironblood Sect. No matter how glorious its past was, that didn't change the fact that it was now in decline.

"No matter what, we ate his grilled fish for free. We should follow him to make sure he doesn't get hurt by the soul beasts in the Great Star Dou Forest.

"And as for recruiting him into the Tang Sect… you've already made up your mind, haven't you?" Bei Bei sighed.

"So you're agreeing?"

"Oh, great Teacher Xiao Ya, you are the leader of the Tang Sect. I'm just the senior disciple. If the leader has a plan, what can I possibly say?" Bei Bei let out a long sigh before leading Tang Ya in the direction Huo Yuhao had gone.
