"Who did you meet?"
When Yu Xiaogang heard Liu Erlong's words, he was momentarily stunned. Then he recalled that he had indeed gone to meet Tang Hao, the Hao Tian Douluo, so her question wasn't wrong.
But what puzzled Yu Xiaogang was how Liu Erlong knew about his meeting with the Hao Tian Douluo Tang Hao.
And had she told anyone else?
After all, this was Spirit City, and Tang Hao harbored a blood feud with the Spirit Hall. His identity absolutely couldn't be exposed, otherwise, Tang Hao might use his immense strength to escape with his son Tang San.
And as for himself, Flender, Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai… they would surely meet a grim fate.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang immediately tensed up. He no longer cared why Liu Erlong was so angry and urgently asked, "Erlong, you know? Did Flender tell you?"
"Have you told anyone else about this? His identity must not be exposed; you should understand."
Under normal circumstances, even though Liu Erlong had a fiery temper, she might have been able to discern the hidden meaning in Yu Xiaogang's words, realizing that things weren't as she thought.
But at this moment, Liu Erlong's rage had shattered her emotional defenses, and the Rakshasa divine power had completely overwhelmed her reason.
Thus, in her ears, Yu Xiaogang's words took on an entirely different meaning…
"He actually admitted to seeing 'that person' right in front of me, and he's so anxious to ask if I've told anyone else…"
"Is he worried that his affair with Bibi Dong will be exposed, making things difficult for her?!"
"Ho… hoho…"
At this thought, Liu Erlong suddenly let out a low laugh, chilling and sorrowful. "You admit it, Yu Xiaogang. You actually just admitted it?"
"You were supposed to marry me, yet now you secretly go to see her behind my back?"
"What do you take me, Liu Erlong, for?"
Yu Xiaogang was utterly confused by Liu Erlong's sudden accusation. "Erlong, what are you talking about? What do you mean by taking you for what?"
"I'm talking about serious matters here! This is life and death, you…"
"Serious matters? Oh, such serious matters!"
Liu Erlong abruptly cut him off, the red glow in her eyes almost becoming tangible. "Leaving early every day and only returning now… Is this your 'serious matter'?"
"Yu Xiaogang, I truly must have been blind!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's seemingly "bewildered and innocent" expression, Liu Erlong felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Boundless grievances and jealousy consumed her last shred of reason.
After all, she had gone to great lengths to find opportunities to help him break through…
Yet the result was that he still hadn't severed ties with Bibi Dong?!
"And I… I've been constantly thinking about your soul power bottleneck!"
At this moment, Liu Erlong's voice trembled, on the verge of tears, but suppressed by extreme anger.
She suddenly pulled out an exquisite small jade bottle from her bosom and hurled it at Yu Xiaogang with all her strength!
Yu Xiaogang instinctively caught it.
"This is a Soul-Forming Pill! It's said to reshape the soul and aid in breakthroughs. I went through great efforts to obtain it, and… and…"
Liu Erlong's voice choked up, unable to continue. Her words turned into a hysterical scream: "And you? Yu Xiaogang! How dare you secretly go to see that wretch! You're despicable!"
"From now on, we are completely done!"
"I, Liu Erlong, sever all ties with you, Yu Xiaogang!"
With that, Liu Erlong's soul power erupted fiercely, the overwhelming force pushing nearby furniture aside.
She resolutely turned around and rushed out of the Seven Treasures Hotel, disappearing into the bustling streets.
"Erlong! Erlong! What's wrong with you?!"
Only after Liu Erlong left did Yu Xiaogang snap out of his shock, anxiously shouting and running after her.
Liu Erlong was a Soul Sage, while Yu Xiaogang was merely a Level 29 Soul Grandmaster. In her fury, Liu Erlong held nothing back. By the time Yu Xiaogang reached the entrance, she had already vanished without a trace.
Looking at the crowded street, now devoid of Liu Erlong, holding the still warm jade bottle in his hand, Yu Xiaogang stood there, his face filled with confusion and helplessness.
He couldn't understand why Liu Erlong was so furious.
He had merely gone to see Tang Hao to discuss how to deal with Dai Chengfeng, and yet Liu Erlong was this angry?
She even said she wanted to sever ties with him?!
"Wretch?"
For a moment, Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, looking at the Soul-Forming Pill. "There must be some misunderstanding… No, there definitely is a misunderstanding…"
Just as Yu Xiaogang pondered how to find Liu Erlong and clear up the misunderstanding, a slightly surprised and delighted voice rang out beside him:
"Uncle? Why are you here? Aren't you at Shrek Academy?"
Hearing the voice, Yu Xiaogang instinctively felt it was familiar.
When he turned to look, he saw his nephew, Yu Tianheng, rushing over from a short distance away, a look of joy on his face.
"Tianheng?"
Seeing that it was Yu Tianheng, Yu Xiaogang was also somewhat surprised. "You're not in Tian Dou City? You're also in Spirit City?"
Yu Tianheng had already reached Yu Xiaogang by now. Hearing his uncle's question, he quickly nodded. "I left the Tian Dou Academy dormitory and came to Spirit City to find Aunt Erlong, while also bringing my teammates for training."
"Uncle, what about you? What brings you to Spirit City?"
"To find Aunt Erlong?"
Yu Xiaogang was eager to find Liu Erlong and explain the misunderstanding. Upon hearing Yu Tianheng's words, he hastily grabbed Yu Tianheng's arm:
"Tianheng, do you know where Erlong is now? I have urgent business with her!"
"Where is Aunt Erlong?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng's face darkened instantly. The image of that devilish figure, Dai Chengfeng, immediately flashed in his mind. Clenching his teeth, he reluctantly replied:
"Aunt Erlong… might have returned to the family's secondary residence… to see that… Dai Chengfeng…"
"To see Dai Chengfeng?"
Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, thinking of his enemy Dai Chengfeng. Confused, he asked, "Why would Erlong go to see Dai Chengfeng?"
Yu Tianheng fell silent, unwilling to mention the humiliating intimacy between Liu Erlong and Dai Chengfeng.
"Tianheng, speak! Why is Erlong seeing Dai Chengfeng?"
"This…"
Yu Tianheng's gaze wandered, hesitating.
Seeing Yu Tianheng's reluctance but Yu Xiaogang's pressing urgency, Yu Feng behind them couldn't resist chiming in, his tone laced with gossip: "Master, don't you even know yet?"
"Aren't you part of the Golden Iron Triangle? Didn't Principal Liu tell you about such a big matter?"
"What big matter?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Feng, a strange unease rising inexplicably in his heart.
