Chapter 93 Parting with Yu Yuanzhen
"Where did you go? I haven't seen you for ages!"
Upon returning to Yu Yuanzhen's side, Yu Xiaogang immediately heard Yu Yuanzhen's resentful words.
Looking up at the other person, he saw Yu Yuanzhen looking ravaged, staring at him with resentful eyes.
"Pfft! Father, what's wrong with you?"
Yu Xiaogang almost couldn't help but laugh; his father's expression was just too funny.
["What else is wrong? You went to hide away and enjoy some peace and quiet, leaving me here all alone."]
"Those who want to understand you will only come to me."
[Yu Yuanzhen said angrily.]
"Then why don't you find somewhere to hide too?"
Yu Xiaogang looked at Yu Yuanzhen with confusion, not understanding why he couldn't figure out such a simple thing.
"You make it sound so easy. I'm not like you. My friends are all over the Douluo Continent."
"Furthermore, as the sect leader of one of the three upper sects, I also need to maintain the sect's network of connections."
[Yu Yuanzhen said.]
"Ew, this is so troublesome? It seems I definitely can't become a member of the sect's management in the future, especially the sect leader."
Yu Xiaogang looked visibly resistant.
"Hey, you little brat, you've got some wild ideas. Don't worry, I'll definitely keep my position as sect leader for you. Once you've grown stronger, I'll immediately step down!"
Yu Yuanzhen was furious at Yu Xiaogang's resistant attitude.
[This is the position of sect leader of one of the top three sects, and you're already complaining about it?]
Despite this, Yu Yuanzhen was very satisfied with the confidence that Yu Xiaogang displayed.
[To refuse to become a member of management, or even a sect leader, requires the right to do so.]
However, what Yu Yuanzhen didn't know was that Yu Xiaogang's refusal was genuine.
Through his conversation with Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang realized that Bibi Dong had always strived to become the disciple of a Title Douluo.
I will strive to live up to my father's expectations and make everyone feel that I am worthy of this position.
I've already accomplished half of it; the other half will take time to complete.
Under these circumstances, setting aside his identity as the son of a Title Douluo, what should he do based on his own identity?
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a moment. Although he hadn't decided on the specifics of what he would do, becoming the head of a sect was definitely not something he envisioned.
[After returning to his father's side and exchanging views with several groups of people, the banquet finally came to an end.]
After the banquet, the father and son returned to their residence. Yu Xiaogang took off his formal attire, changed into his everyday clothes, and collapsed onto the soft bed. The comfort enveloped his entire body, making him unwilling to move for a long time.
Although Yu Yuanzhen wasn't as dramatic as Yu Xiaogang, his posture—lying motionless on the bed like Yu Xiaogang—made it clear that he too was relieved.
In the following days, Yu Yuanzhen took Yu Xiaogang to the auction and treasure appreciation event held by the Spirit Hall.
The reason this auction attracted so many people is because the Spirit Hall announced that spirit bones would be auctioned.
Therefore, representatives from all sides sent people to participate in the auction.
[Because it was his first time attending an auction, Yu Xiaogang kept glancing at the crowd below through the window of his private box.]
[Many of the people here are people Yu Xiaogang knew.]
[That middle-aged man with completely green hair and beard is none other than Dugu Bo, the renowned owner of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul.]
For example, the four middle-aged men sitting together over there are the sect leaders of the four affiliated sects of the Clear Sky Sect.
[For example, on the other side, there are several people dressed in very distinctive clothing; they are from the five elemental academies.]
In short, the auction allowed Yu Xiaogang to recognize many of the powerful figures from the Douluo Continent.
The auction was also quite exciting, with a group of people bidding fiercely for a single treasure. Yu Xiaogang could often feel the tension.
The final item auctioned, a soul bone, was a torso bone approximately 20,000 years old.
As the most important soul bone part for a soul master, the torso bone is extremely precious.
[When Yu Yuanzhen saw the torso bone appear, his breathing became rapid.]
However, when the Spirit Hall announced that absorbing this torso bone required fire attribute, and specifically high-quality fire attribute, a group of people almost burst into a tirade of curses.
In the end, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with its vast wealth, won the bid for this soul bone.
[The auction was followed by a treasure viewing event, and Yu Xiaogang was hoping to snag some bargains.]
Unfortunately, lacking any special abilities, he couldn't discern which things were truly valuable.
[It's worth mentioning that members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect came to the treasure appreciation event and went on a buying spree.]
[His nonchalant attitude about having plenty of money startled even Yu Xiaogang.]
However, not long after, the Spirit Hall sent people to expel all the members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
[It's said that their buying spree startled the person in charge, who thought the shipment was full of treasures.]
[After all, it's common knowledge that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's inherited martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, is capable of appraising treasures.]
Therefore, to prevent the Spirit Hall from suffering too heavy losses, they drove the people out.
As the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect members were being dragged away, they continued to shout things like, "Spirit Hall, you can't take this!"
With the treasure viewing event over, Yu Yuanzhen's purpose in coming to Spirit City has been achieved.
[Yu Yuanzhen called Lin Lang, who had arrived in Spirit City early but acted alone, to his side and told Yu Xiaogang that he could come to him if he needed anything in the future. With that, Yu Yuanzhen had completed all the tasks he had come to Spirit City for.]
Next, he will return to his sect, while Yu Xiaogang will stay in Spirit City to begin his studies.
Standing beside the carriage, Yu Yuanzhen kept reminding Yu Xiaogang of things to be careful about. Although Yu Xiaogang was smart and sensible, he was still only about ten years old.
"...You must remember what I said, don't take it lightly. When you need to obtain a spirit ring later, remember to send me a message, and I'll go with you."
[Yu Yuanzhen gave his instructions.]
"Oh dear, you've said that so many times already, I can recite it backwards. Don't worry, I've memorized it all."
[Yu Xiaogang said with a hint of helplessness.]
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's youthful face, Yu Yuanzhen stepped forward and hugged him tightly.
"Father, I'm not leaving the sect forever. I'll go back during the holidays."
Holding Yu Yuanzhen in his arms, Yu Xiaogang felt his father's strength. Although he was a little embarrassed, he didn't try to struggle at all.
[Yu Yuanzhen never lacked anything.]
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang is very fortunate to be his father's son.
After a while, Yu Yuanzhen released Yu Xiaogang, gave him a few more words of advice, and then boarded the carriage.
Watching the carriage disappear at the end of the road, Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath.
Having left the sect and my father, I must now walk the path ahead on my own!
[Spirit Academy, here I come!]
