Chapter 207: The Hypocrisy of Tang San, His Double Standards Have Always Been Like This!
Indeed, Titan's words seemed to make sense on the surface.
Haotian Sect, Tang Hao, and Tang San were three separate groups and individuals.
Currently, they were not together, but to say that the Four Great Clans' hatred toward Haotian Sect and Tang Hao had nothing to do with Tang San was pure nonsense!
Not to mention anything else, Tang San had already acknowledged his ancestry in the live stream, so to claim that he had nothing to do with Haotian Sect was ridiculous!
Moreover, in Lin Yu's view, the most critical point was this:
Although Tang San hadn't officially joined Haotian Sect, how could he, as a child lacking love, not be influenced by Tang Hao!?
And as long as Tang San was influenced by Tang Hao, given that Tang Hao placed Haotian Sect almost as his first priority in life and had a servile attitude toward the sect, Tang San would undoubtedly be affected by Haotian Sect as well.
In that case, saying that the Four Great Clans' hatred toward Haotian Sect and Tang Hao had nothing to do with Tang San was nothing more than a conceptual deception!
It was just like in Lin Yu's past life, in a country called "Little Book," where they often claimed that the bad things that happened in the past, due to their country's actions, were unrelated to the present day. That was absurd!
Unfortunately, the people of Douluo Continent lacked the educational background that Lin Yu had in his past life, and they also didn't have access to the internet to broaden their knowledge, perspective, and thinking.
So, in the live stream, when facing Titan's conceptual deception, even though Niu Gao's expression turned dark and unpleasant, and he felt something was wrong with Titan's statement, he opened his mouth but didn't know how to counter it.
Considering that the one speaking was his old friend Titan, Niu Gao assumed that Titan probably wouldn't harm him.
So, Niu Gao didn't refute Titan's words.
However, just because Niu Gao in the live stream didn't argue didn't mean that Niu Gao outside the live stream wouldn't.
As the saying goes: "The person involved is confused, but the bystander sees clearly."
In the live stream, Niu Gao was momentarily caught off guard by his old friend's accusations and conceptual deception, but as a bystander, Niu Gao immediately realized that his friend's words were completely wrong.
Niu Gao didn't know the term "conceptual deception," but he knew that, given Tang Hao's blind loyalty to Haotian Sect, coupled with the father-son relationship between Tang Hao and Tang San, if the Four Great Clans submitted to Tang San, they would definitely meet an unfortunate end!
However, despite his anger, Niu Gao, trapped in the live stream, still subconsciously accepted Titan's words as correct.
Then, moving forward, Niu Gao thought that if anyone other than Titan had brought Tang San here, he would have thrown both of them out already!
But at this moment, Niu Gao still didn't accept Titan's words and wasn't willing to accept Tang San.
Yet, seeing that Niu Gao didn't agree, Titan, who had already led his entire clan to side with Tang San, was naturally furious. He immediately said that if Niu Gao wouldn't accept Tang San, then the Strength Clan would leave with Tang San.
This was a blatant power play!
If he wants to leave, let him!
In the live stream, watching his old friend betray their long-standing friendship for Tang San, and knowing that siding with Tang San would not end well, Niu Gao's anger flared. He shouted at the "Niu Gao" in the live stream, telling him that since Titan wanted to leave, he should take Tang San with him!
However, the Niu Gao in the live stream remained confused.
Seeing that his old friend Titan was defending Tang San so much, even though Niu Gao still didn't accept Tang San, he couldn't help but take a step forward instinctively, raising his right hand as if about to reach out.
Despite his stubborn nature, Niu Gao controlled himself and didn't try to stop them, but his actions were clearly noticed by Tang San, who read Niu Gao's true attitude.
Seeing the change in Niu Gao's expression, Tang San immediately seized the opportunity, holding onto Titan and turning to Niu Gao with what appeared to be sincerity, offering an apology on behalf of Haotian Sect and his father Tang Hao, hoping to make amends with the Four Great Clans.
His tone was sincere, but the sincerity... was completely fake!
Upon seeing this, Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh wryly.
Heh, the "bowing spirit" technique?
This Tang San really gives off a vibe like he's from "Little Book"!
For a moment, Lin Yu couldn't help but remember the events from the original timeline, where Tang San made two completely contradictory statements about the wrongs of Haotian Sect, depending on his strength.
Before going to Sea God Island, when his strength wasn't enough, Tang San, facing the elders of Haotian Sect, had openly stated that his father Tang Hao was wrong, even willing to bow and apologize for it.
But after returning from Sea God Island, his attitude changed completely!
When facing Haotian Sect again, Tang San now boldly claimed that the mistakes of the past were Haotian Sect's fault, for not protecting their disciples, making it Haotian Sect's mistake!
These two utterly contradictory statements were like the actions of a chameleon, fully displaying Tang San's hypocritical character. After all, with strength came the power to speak!
Once Lin Yu realized this, he immediately saw how Tang San's hypocrisy would continue throughout his life.
Such as plotting against the destined child Huo Yuhao, scheming against the imperial beast the Three-eyed Golden Lion, even scheming against his daughter Tang Wutong, and later as the God of Law, breaking the rules by intervening in Douluo Continent and using a child to threaten a mother.
This was completely unsurprising!
Because Tang San's character had always been like this—without power, he was hypocritically submissive, but once he had power, he acted like a king, the greatest in heaven and earth!
As Lin Yu mocked Tang San in his mind, the live stream continued.
In the live stream, after apologizing to Niu Gao, regardless of whether Niu Gao accepted it, Tang San seemed to brush off his bow as if everything had been forgiven. He stood up straight and said that although simple apologies didn't mean much, he and Titan had come this time to try and make amends with the Four Great Clans.
But his family had been severely wounded by Haotian Sect and Tang Hao in the past and still hadn't recovered, so it was clear that Niu Gao wouldn't accept just a bow to erase everything.
Seeing Tang San finish bowing and stand upright with a calm expression, Niu Gao coldly sneered and directly stated that everything in the past had nothing to do with Tang San, and his Imperial Clan was doing fine, and didn't need any help from him.
Afterward, Niu Gao coldly turned away, crossing his arms and preparing to leave.
However, behind him, Tang San once again called out to Niu Gao, seemingly sincerely offering another chance for him to stay and participate in the Four Great Clans' gathering.
But seeing this, Lin Yu felt even more disdain.
More empty words!
Clearly, after taking all the Immortal-grade spirit herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, Tang San could have offered Niu Gao a suitable herb for his clan as compensation, but he refused to do so. He truly was the epitome of hypocrisy!
