198: Tang Zihan's identity
"Principal, has something happened to Teacher Tang?"
Shi Qianying also noticed Wang Gang's unusual reaction and quickly asked.
Hearing this, Wang Gang took a deep breath and sighed, saying,
"This is a long story; let me tell you slowly."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan and Shi Qianying exchanged glances and nodded in understanding.
Even Fang Yang and Kuang Qing, who were nearby, had their curiosity piqued by Wang Gang's words.
Thus, under the gaze of the four, Wang Gang recounted everything from Tang Zihan's arrival at Tianyang No. 1 High School to teach, to the recent events.
Wang Gang focused on the key points, speaking quickly, and explained the whole story clearly in less than two minutes.
"No wonder Teacher Tang possesses an A-grade Beast Taming Talent; it turns out she's also a Disciple of a powerful Family."
"However, what I didn't expect was that Teacher Tang actually left school halfway through university to escape her Family's arranged marriage, coming to a small place like Tianyang City to teach."
After listening to Wang Gang's narration, Su Yuan thought to himself.
However, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Because according to Wang Gang, Tang Zihan was forcibly taken away by members of the Tang Family three days ago.
They even had a conflict with Tang Zihan, injuring her.
Thinking of this, Su Yuan couldn't help but worry about Tang Zihan.
Tang Zihan, unwilling to accept her Family's arranged marriage, fled, only to be forcibly captured and taken away by her Family. The consequences were imaginable.
The other party had shown him the grace of imparting knowledge and dispelling doubts. If he had the ability, he still wanted to help the other party escape from suffering.
"Principal, what is the influence of the Tang Family of Modu?"
Modu, like Shangjing, is one of the two top major cities in Daxia.
Furthermore, because Modu is located by the sea, it has to face countless Vicious Beasts from the ocean.
The beast taming resources in the outer areas of Modu are richer than those in Shangjing, and in terms of overall strength, Modu is even stronger than Shangjing.
Presumably, the Tang Family, being able to hold a place in Modu, must have considerable strength.
"The Tang Family of Modu has considerable influence; the Family has several Emperor-Level Beastmasters presiding over it."
"Su Yuan, with our current abilities, even if we wanted to resolve Teacher Tang's trouble, we wouldn't have the strength."
"Although I am also deeply saddened by this matter, I still have to advise you not to act impulsively."
Hearing Su Yuan's question, Wang Gang said solemnly to Su Yuan.
"A Family with Emperor-Level Beastmaster Experts presiding over it."
Hearing Wang Gang's words, Su Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Principal Wang is right; I know the Tang Family of Modu quite well."
"My Fang Family of Shangjing has a lot of dealings with the Tang Family of Modu in the beast taming business."
"The Tang Family of Modu is a major Family whose influence is no less than that of my Fang Family of Shangjing."
"I also know the Second Young Miss of the Tang Family; she's only two years older than me."
"I also heard about the Second Young Miss of the Tang Family running away from her marriage; I was still in my third year of high school when it happened."
"At that time, due to the Second Young Miss of the Tang Family running away from her marriage, the Shangjing Li Family and the Tang Family of Modu caused a huge uproar."
"After this incident, the major Families in Shangjing, Modu, and several other major cities in Daxia all regarded this matter as a laughingstock for after-dinner talks. The Shangjing Li Family and the Tang Family of Modu became the laughingstock of various Families for a time."
"I didn't expect such a coincidence; that Second Young Miss of the Tang Family is actually Qianying's teacher."
"The Second Young Miss of the Tang Family's elopement disgraced the Tang Family and the Shangjing Li Family. I reckon her life won't be easy now that she's been caught and brought back."
At this moment, Fang Yang, who had been listening nearby, also spoke with a sigh after understanding the whole story.
Apparently, Fang Yang was more aware of Tang Zihan's elopement back then than Wang Gang.
For example, Wang Gang only knew that Tang Zihan came from the Tang Family of Modu and fled her Family's arranged marriage, which is why she hid and taught at Tianyang No. 1 High School, but he didn't know that her betrothed was a member of the Shangjing Li Family.
"Shangjing Li Family, what is their influence?"
Hearing Fang Yang's words, Su Yuan's gaze finally fell on him, and his eyes became a bit more serious as he looked at the other party.
"Heh, so you, Young Master, have a time when you ask me!"
Seeing Su Yuan look at him, Fang Yang sneered inwardly but did not answer Su Yuan's question immediately.
He even pretended not to hear Su Yuan's voice.
This attitude made Su Yuan frown.
Not only Su Yuan, but Shi Qianying, Wang Gang, and Kuang Qing all reacted similarly.
Seeing Fang Yang ignoring Su Yuan, Kuang Qing, who was beside Su Yuan, spoke up.
"Young Friend Su Yuan, the Shangjing Li Family is merely a Family with two Emperor-level Beastmasters."
"As for the Tang Family of Modu and the Fang Family of Shangjing, their strongest members are only Royal Tier Peak, which is not worth mentioning in front of an Emperor-level Beastmaster."
"In my opinion, the arranged marriage that the Tang Family of Modu set up for their Second Young Miss was mostly to cling to the Shangjing Li Family."
"To put it bluntly, it's selling their daughter for glory."
After speaking, Kuang Qing also showed a look of disdain and snorted coldly.
He despised Families that engaged in such behavior the most.
Even if such Families were powerful, Kuang Qing, as a Royal Level Two Beastmaster, couldn't make much of a ripple in front of the Tang Family of Modu, but he still looked down on such a Family from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, he was backed by the Shangguan Family, which was the top wealthy Family in Daxia.
Even compared to the Shangjing Li Family, the Shangguan Family was far superior.
In the Shangguan Family, the number of Emperor-level Beastmasters presiding was not only more than that of the Shangjing Li Family, but the strength of their strongest Emperor-level Beastmaster was also considerably greater.
It was precisely because of this that he would say the words "not worth mentioning" when facing the Tang Family of Modu, which didn't even have an Emperor-level Beastmaster.
However, Kuang Qing's words caused Fang Yang's expression to change dramatically.
Because in Kuang Qing's recent words, he had also included his Fang Family of Shangjing.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen anyone dare to say that his Fang Family of Shangjing was not worth mentioning in front of a member of his Fang Family of Shangjing.
Although what Kuang Qing had just said, that in front of an Emperor-level Beastmaster, the two Families were not worth mentioning, was the truth.
But as Fang Yang's anger flared, his rationality also diminished a few points, and he immediately yelled at Kuang Qing,
"The Fang Family of Shangjing is not worth mentioning? Your Excellency, what big words!"
"Who are you, to be here criticizing my Fang Family of Shangjing!"
As Fang Yang's angry roar erupted, the expressions of Wang Gang and Shi Qianying immediately changed.
"Young Master Fang Yang, this friend of Su Yuan's merely made a slip of the tongue and had no intention of slandering the Fang Family; please..."
Wang Gang even quickly stepped forward to mediate.
"Heh, who am I?"
But before he could finish speaking, a sudden, furious, mocking laugh interrupted him.
