Yu Xiaogang felt his eyebrows turn green.
He never expected it.
In the parallel World, it was one thing for Bibi Dong to have "betrayed" him.
Even Liu Erlong had a similar reaction.
The crucial thing was this.
He really couldn't blame Liu Erlong for this matter.
After all, strictly speaking, this was done by the Liu Erlong of the parallel World.
It had nothing to do with the one in front of him.
If he were to say more about this, he would appear petty.
Thinking of this, he looked up again and saw Liu Erlong's anxious and nervous gaze.
He forced a smile and pretended to be magnanimous as he comforted her, saying,
"It's nothing, Erlong, how could I blame you for this? Where did you get that idea?"
"Also, don't blame your parallel World self for this. After all, there's no Yu Xiaogang in the parallel World, so it's normal for you to be forced to choose Yu Chen."
He said "forced" repeatedly, sounding incredibly casual and natural.
But to the ears of the few people around, it sounded particularly harsh.
Liu Erlong was no exception.
Although she kept nodding in agreement on the surface, feigning disdain for Yu Chen.
In her heart, she dared not delve deeper into this topic.
She dared not think carefully about what choice she would have made if Yu Xiaogang and Yu Chen had both stood before her back then.
After all, let's not even mention the subsequent outcome.
Just looking at the performance of the two displayed on the heavenly curtain right now.
No matter how you looked at it, Yu Chen completely outclassed Yu Xiaogang.
Under such circumstances,
If there truly was such an opportunity for her to choose,
Could she still, as she was now, firmly choose Yu Xiaogang, who was neither as tall nor as handsome as Yu Chen, nor as intelligent, knowledgeable, or powerful?
If she really made such a choice, then her head must truly be problematic.
In a flash, Liu Erlong couldn't help but feel a few more sighs in her heart.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang no longer paid attention to what she was thinking.
Looking at the so-called token of love she held in her hand,
He was, however, keenly aware of a black mark on Yu Chen.
He excitedly started to complain,
Attempting to equate Yu Chen with a scumbag who toyed with emotions.
"Scumbag?"
"Grandmaster, why is Yu Chen a scumbag who toys with emotions?"
Xiao Wu, hearing him say this, was naturally curious and couldn't help but ask.
The Grandmaster retorted, "Why isn't he a scumbag? Have you all forgotten the content revealed on the light screen at the very beginning? Even if you've forgotten, I still remember it clearly."
Tang San looked at him like that, thought of something, and said,
"Light screen content? Is Grandmaster referring to the scene where Yu Chen directly drew his sword and stood between Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, clearly stating he would live and die with Bibi Dong?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded, making a definitive statement, saying,
"Exactly! Yu Chen was just about to live and die with Bibi Dong, and then immediately after, he sent a token of love to Liu Erlong. If this isn't a scumbag, what is?"
However, before he could launch into a lengthy speech,
And properly slander Yu Chen.
As the text disappeared, above the firmament, the light screen on the left, which belonged to Yu Xiaogang, lit up once again.
"Why is Yu Xiaogang's heavenly curtain lighting up? This is really… isn't the heavenly curtain deliberately teasing us?"
"Who says it isn't? I was still waiting for the heavenly curtain to show me what the transformed Luo San Pao looks like…"
"Golden Sacred Dragon Luo San Pao, tsk tsk… that name, just thinking about it makes me excited."
Although not much time had passed since the heavenly curtain began broadcasting.
Yu Chen had clearly attracted a large number of supporters.
At this moment, seeing his heavenly curtain gradually dim, they clearly felt very sad and reluctant.
However, this reality did not shift according to their will.
No matter how loud the crowd's cheers, the light screen on the left, belonging to Yu Xiaogang, showed no sign of stopping.
It calmly and unhurriedly broadcast the relevant situation to everyone.
...
[Yu Xiaogang finally left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]
[However, his departure at this moment was not a sudden whim without purpose, but a decision made after careful consideration.]
[After all, he was an adult now, no longer the simple, somewhat arrogant child of ten years ago.
Although in these ten years, due to his on-again, off-again efforts, his knowledge of Spirits hadn't increased much.
But Yu Xiaogang didn't fall into self-reflection because of this.
Instead, he naturally blamed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
He felt that the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were deliberately targeting him.
They were deliberately withholding his resources.
This was why his Spirit research had been unable to progress.
So, at the age of eighteen, he resolutely chose to leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, hoping to find new assistance with his own strength to help him continue to improve.
And to obtain assistance from a power greater than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Xiaogang actually didn't have many choices.
After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was one of the Upper Three Sects.
And besides the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the remaining two clans, whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Clear Sky Sect, were also clan-based Sects.
No matter how talented he was, approaching them as an outsider would most likely not end well.
So, from the very first moment he left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,
Yu Xiaogang determined his goal after leaving home — Spirit Hall!]
[Spirit Hall's power was far greater than any of the Upper Three Sects, and it gathered a large number of commoner Spirit Masters.
Yu Xiaogang believed that with his knowledge, he would quickly gain the attention of Spirit Hall and be entrusted with important tasks.]
[It was with this thought, full of confidence, that he embarked on his journey to leave the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and head to Spirit Hall.]
...
"Spirit Hall…"
"So, Yu Xiaogang's trip to Spirit Hall wasn't accidental, but intentional?"
"Since his trip to Spirit Hall wasn't accidental. Then later, his encounter with His Holiness the Supreme Pontiff, surely…"
Someone thought of something and was about to make a bold guess.
But before he could finish speaking,
A friend next to him immediately covered his mouth.
Making a shushing gesture at him.
"Shh… Are you tired of living, kid? You dare to say anything?"
After all, no matter what, this was within Spirit Hall's sphere of influence.
They say walls have ears.
Speaking these things within Spirit Hall's sphere of influence.
It seemed somewhat like asking for trouble.
Hearing this reaction, the common people within Spirit Hall's sphere of influence wisely chose to keep silent.
But some things,
Even without being explicitly stated, everyone knew them well.
The current Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, Hu Liena, watched, her expression growing a bit more complex.
As for what outsiders were thinking,
Bibi Dong didn't care at all.
At this moment, she looked up.
Gazing at the text on the heavenly curtain.
Clutching the scepter in her hand, a hint of bewilderment briefly flashed in her eyes.
She murmured in a voice only she could hear,
"Xiaogang… was our meeting also something you planned?"
