They're going to have a fight before their performance!
With the way things are now, a beatdown seems unavoidable!
"You better think this through, Tang San. Don't you regret it later. I, Xue Ke, will not go easy on you, since you've already challenged me to a showdown. So, we'll do it your way."
Xue Ke said just this moment.
Those resolute eyes were fixed on Tang San.
Looks like a fight is inevitable today!
Xue Ke exuded a powerful aura of anger.
She isn't scared of a mere Soul Sage.
Though they're both Soul Sages, there is still a difference between the two.
One is from the Martial Soul Hall, and the other from Shrek Academy!
Currently, Tang San is considered a student of Moon Pavilion Academy—his second place of learning!
"Xiaosan, your performance is about to start. You seem off, is there something wrong?"
Yuehua asked.
As his aunt, of course she needed to pay close attention to Tang San's actions!
She could sense something was not right with Tang San.
Because Xue Ke was right in front of her, it wasn't hard to guess that the two must have had a conflict.
Tang San and Xue Ke looked at each other just as Yuehua noticed.
"There's nothing wrong with me!"
"I am discussing the performance with student Xue Ke. After all, this is the last graduation ceremony; of course, I want to have a thorough discussion with student Xue Ke."
"As the representative performer, I can't afford any mistakes. You agree, right, student Xue Ke?"
Tang San's gaze was fixed firmly on Xue Ke.
Originally, he didn't want to fall out over a trifle, but the other party was being utterly annoying.
So, Tang San felt some dissatisfaction within.
"Tss, make yourself clear, Tang San. Who's discussing the performance with you? I am declaring war on you. You're not even telling the truth to your own aunt. It looks like you really are one person to her face and another behind her back, even hiding the truth from your own family," Xue Ke said.
The onlookers shifted their attention to them.
Confusion was evident on everyone's faces.
Now they were all baffled.
The competition was about to begin.
Yet, Tang San and Xue Ke had picked this moment to kick up a fuss.
"Student Xue Ke, I am not being two-faced as you say. Don't take your words too far. There are no truths I need to hide," Tang San replied.
"I am usually very straightforward and never deceive anyone. But you, student Xue Ke, have always targeted me, blaming me for everything. I don't think that's very nice of you. We're classmates; why go out of your way to target me, particularly for a graduation ceremony performance?"
"I'm not wrong in saying this, am I?" Tang San said to her then.
Hearing this, Xue Ke's face hardened.
"Hiss—!"
Suddenly, Xue Ke's Soul Rings lit up!
"Are they really going to take it seriously? Today is supposed to be about attending the graduation, not watching them fight. I really don't get what all this nonsense is about; it's a complete waste of time," one of the onlookers said.
Even the crowd couldn't stand to watch anymore.
"You all need to quiet down. There's one minute left, and the performance is about to start. Get back to your places," a familiar voice suddenly commanded.
Yuehua spoke to the crowd with a stern face.
The situation was extremely awkward.
Xue Ke was taken aback!
It was blatantly obvious that Yuehua was speaking up for Tang San!
Xue Ke being a princess of Martial Soul Hall, it was surprising not to see Yuehua take a neutral stand but rather side with Tang San!
Anyone observing carefully could see it.
Yuehua wasn't impartial at all!
"Tang San, just you wait. After the performance, we can have it out then. That's a deal," Xue Ke grudgingly said.
In truth, Xue Ke was a well-behaved girl, but she insisted on opposing Tang San!
She never gave him face.
Even going as far as to tear down Tang San's dignity.
Not the slightest bit of face was given.
```
"Alright then! No problem, I'll be waiting for you."
Tang San immediately spoke up.
After that, the performers all returned to their seats.
Standing in another corner, Xue Qinghe silently watched them.
He had been secretly observing Xue Ke and the others.
Now was not yet his turn to speak.
All he was thinking about was ensuring his sister's safety.
If Tang San really dared to make a move, he would certainly not let him off easily.
"Everyone quiet down, the performance is about to start."
The host announced.
Soon the surroundings fell silent.
One by one, the performers walked to the stage and sat in their places.
What set Tang San apart from the others was that he sat alone in the center direction, becoming the most eye-catching one.
The music began to play!
And really, Tang San's mindset was stable and flawless; he truly was extraordinary!
But this familiar feeling, much like Aunt Yuehua's, came from the long-hidden Hao Tian Clan.
Xue Qinghe muttered to himself.
Tang San played a beautiful piece of music.
This reminded Xue Qinghe of the time when Yuehua also played the same song!
The melody and the playing technique were identical!
"Xiaosan, you performed very well today."
Yuehua slowly walked up to Tang San.
"I have long understood the painstaking effort my father went through, in both Slaughter City and Moon Pavilion, it was all for training the heart."
"Thank you, Aunt, you have indeed taken much trouble for me."
At this moment, Tang San thanked her.
Tang San still had some conscience, knowing to thank Yuehua.
"Tang San, only now have you truly settled your heart. It seems you still need to practice more to calm down. Sometimes you're too impetuous," she said.
"If you want to become stronger, you have to put in a lot more effort. Although today is the graduation ceremony, you can take it as an opportunity to train. But you can always live at Moon Pavilion, you can treat it like your home."
Tang San could stay as long as he wished!
The Dean was his aunt!
Yuehua!
Currently, no one dares to target Tang San. If anyone dares to have an issue with Tang San, it would only be Xue Ke, daring to be dissatisfied with him!
The two have always been on the edge of an unpleasant relationship!
The reason behind it was simple: Martial Soul Hall had always had a bad relationship with Tang Hao.
And they saw Tang Hao's family as enemies!
In their eyes, nothing else mattered!
Now things were good.
The graduation ceremony was over.
Tang San, you're done for!
Xue Ke muttered.
Xue Ke's gaze fixed directly on Tang San.
At this moment, Tang San had long forgotten about his agreement with Xue Ke.
They had agreed to see whose strength was more outstanding.
That menacing look stayed fixated on Tang San.
Tang San walked towards the exit.
As Xue Ke saw this, she immediately followed behind.
Were they going somewhere to fight?
Or perhaps Tang San already knew that Xue Ke would surely follow him.
It wasn't hard to notice that Tang San's expression was secretly smiling.
"Stop right there!!"
"Tang San, where are you going? Didn't we agree to have a friendly spar? Have you forgotten so soon?"
Xue Ke immediately called out.
How could he possibly forget.
