Chapter 102 Liu Erlong: Yu Xiaogang, you piece of trash, get out!
This wasn't an interrogation; it was Bibi Dong trying to piece together a truth she didn't want to believe.
She always thought that Yu Xiaogang chose to run away because he was insecure, because he couldn't break through level 30, and because he felt unworthy of her, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.
She kept comforting herself with this, telling herself that the man had his reasons.
But reality has now shown her that after that man left her, he immediately found "true love" and even disregarded morality for this love.
If their blood relationship hadn't been exposed on the spot, they would probably have children running all over the place by now.
Then what about Bibi Dong's twenty years of arduous waiting?
A complete joke?
...
Blue Tyrant Academy, wooden cabin in the back mountain.
The night was as still as water, and the full moon hung high in the sky.
The environment here is serene, and the air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers, which Liu Erlong specially planted for Yu Xiaogang.
Normally, this is Liu Erlong's forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter except for Lu Ming.
But tonight, a thin figure walked slowly with his hands behind his back.
Yu Xiaogang was dressed in a faded cloth shirt, his face bearing his signature stiff expression, yet his eyes revealed a strange confidence and a sense of vicissitude.
He looked up at the full moon in the sky and sighed softly.
Today is the day of the full moon.
It was also the day he and Bibi Dong pledged their love, and the day he made a vow in Coconut Grove City.
But all of that is in the past.
Now, he has someone by his side who is even more worthy of his appreciation.
Although he and Liu Erlong were bound by blood, he felt that they were compatible on a spiritual level.
For the past twenty years, he has been hiding and running away.
But when he arrived in Tiandou City and saw the academy that Liu Erlong had built for him, and the garden full of flowers and plants, his closed heart finally softened.
"Never mind."
"I'm over fifty years old, how long am I going to keep running away?"
Yu Xiaogang said to himself.
He made his decision.
Tonight, on this night of the full moon, he will open his heart to Erlong.
Even if they can't be a real couple, even if they can only be spiritual companions, he is willing to give Erlong an explanation and stop her from waiting in vain.
This is a blessing, and also a redemption.
Yu Xiaogang straightened his collar, walked to the door of the wooden house, and knocked on the door.
"Erlong, it's me."
His voice was deep and slightly hoarse, which he thought was very magnetic.
Inside the wooden house.
Liu Erlong had just sent that message and was sitting at the table, holding a communication token in his hand.
Upon hearing the knock, a flash of disgust crossed her eyes.
In the past, upon hearing this voice, she would have been overjoyed and would have rushed out to greet it like a little girl.
But now, after the chat group's baptism, after Lu Ming's repeated analyses, and after Bibi Dong's remarks in the group,
She suddenly found the sound outside the door to be extremely jarring.
"Come in."
Liu Erlong said coldly.
The door was pushed open, and Yu Xiaogang walked in.
He glanced at Liu Erlong sitting at the table and saw that she was calm and not as excited as usual, which made him even more certain.
Erlong is blaming him.
I resent that he's been hiding for so many years.
That's normal. After all, she's a woman, and it's understandable that she might have a little temper.
"Erlong, the moonlight is beautiful tonight."
Yu Xiaogang walked to the window by himself, turned his back to Liu Erlong, looked at the moon outside the window, and said in a deep tone:
"The lantern festival in Tiandou City is very lively. I would like to... invite you to go for a walk together."
After saying that, he tilted his head slightly, waiting for Liu Erlong's surprised response.
In his view, this was a step he had taken voluntarily, a moment that Liu Erlong had longed for.
However, the expected cheers did not come from behind.
There was only a deathly silence.
Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly, turned around, and looked at Liu Erlong.
"Erlong? Didn't you hear what I said?"
Liu Erlong remained seated in the chair, not even standing up, and looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a stranger.
There was no adoration or worship in those eyes, only scrutiny.
It's as if they want to peel off his skin to see what kind of straw is inside.
"Yu Xiaogang".
Liu Erlong finally spoke, addressing him by his name.
"Do you think that I should rush to you with tears of gratitude just by snapping my fingers?"
Yu Xiaogang was stunned.
He had never heard Liu Erlong speak to him in such a tone before.
In the past, Liu Erlong was always gentle and obedient in front of him, and even when she was rejected, she would plead with tears in her eyes.
"Erlong, what's wrong?"
Yu Xiaogang subconsciously adopted the air of a master and said in a deep voice:
"I know you harbor resentment. I've wronged you over the past twenty years. But I've come to terms with it now. I'm not leaving. I'm willing to stay and be with you. Isn't this what you've always wanted?"
"Come with me?"
Liu Erlong suddenly laughed, his laughter full of sarcasm.
"Why should you stay with me?"
"With your pathetic level 29 soul power?"
"Or is it based on those plagiarized theories you stole from the Spirit Hall?"
This series of rhetorical questions was like a series of heavy hammer blows, slamming hard into Yu Xiaogang's fragile self-esteem.
Yu Xiaogang's face instantly turned a deep liver color.
"What...what nonsense are you talking about!"
"My theory is invincible! It's the most advanced knowledge in the Martial Soul world! What is plagiarism? That's research! That's induction!"
He couldn't stand being called a good-for-nothing, and he couldn't stand anyone questioning his theories.
This is his lifeline.
Liu Erlong stood up and walked step by step to Yu Xiaogang.
She was tall and had a stunning figure that was clearly visible in her tight-fitting clothes, but the aura she exuded at that moment made Yu Xiaogang subconsciously take a half step back.
"Research? Summarization?"
Liu Erlong sneered.
"If Bibi Dong hadn't shown you the Spirit Hall's collection of books, what conclusions could you have drawn?"
"Yu Xiaogang, you should have some shame."
"I used to love you, so I could pretend to be stupid for you, and I could imprison myself for you."
"But now, I'm awake."
"I, Liu Erlong, am a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City, and a Soul Saint-level expert."
"Why should I like a coward who only knows how to run away, has no responsibility, and doesn't even spare his own cousin?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened, and his finger trembled as he pointed at Liu Erlong.
"You...you actually said that about me..."
"You think I spoke harshly?"
A hint of impatience flashed in Liu Erlong's eyes.
"Then get lost."
"Take your bullshit theories and get out of my sight."
"From now on, you are not welcome here."
Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded.
He had imagined countless scenarios of their reunion, but none of them were like this.
He originally came to bestow favors, to become a saint who turned over a new leaf.
Instead, he was called a good-for-nothing and a coward, and was kicked out.
