Words like blades, every one piercing the heart

Bai Wanwan slightly raised her eyes, her gaze filled with disdain.

"Whether it's the Spirit Hall or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I don't care what your identity is or who you bring in. As long as you, Yu Xiaogang, have the ability, feel free to send people to cause me trouble."

"I'm making this clear today: even if your Your Father Yu Yuanzhen, were to visit in person, or even if the Pope of the Spirit Hall were to come, the agreement between Flender and me would not be broken. It's no use whoever comes. That's what I, Bai Wanwan, said."

Hearing Bai Wanwan's words and looking at his broken finger, Yu Xiaogang slowly raised his head and looked at Bai Wanwan and Qian Renxue in the main seat with a shocked and incredulous gaze.

"How... how dare you?"

Despite the pain in his fingers, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and uttered a few words.

The Spirit Hall is the strongest force on the entire continent, and even the Two Great Empires have to rely on it.

In other words, both the Two Great Empires and the Upper Three Sects have to give the Spirit Hall some face.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him, though gradually weakening, is still one of the Upper Three Sects and one of the most powerful forces on the continent.

As a result, Bai Wanwan actually dared to say that even if her father, Yu Yuanzhen, visited in person and the Pope of the Spirit Hall came in person, it would be useless. Yu Xiaogang couldn't understand for a moment who gave Bai Wanwan the courage to say such a thing.

Why wouldn't I dare?

"You think I'm like you, afraid of nothing and only good at running away?"

Bai Wanwan glanced at Yu Xiaogang with disdain, then raised her Ice Blue nail polish. "Twenty-five years ago, when you faced the sudden departure of your first love, you didn't dare to ask questions or speak your mind. You could only slink away alone, publishing what you had researched together and earning yourself the title of 'Grandmaster'."

"But are you worthy of the title 'Grandmaster'?"

"How much of what's inside truly reflects your talent and knowledge? Of the proven aspects, how much is actually your work? And have you verified the majority of the unfinished products?"

Can you figure it out?

"Don't you have any idea why the entire Spirit Master World treats you like a joke?"

Haven't you heard that flies don't land on eggs without cracks?

"You don't really think that everyone in the entire Spirit Master World is blind and that only you, Yu Xiaogang, are a smart person, do you?"

"Twenty years ago, you and Liu Erlong held your wedding. That very night, your uncle found you and told you that Liu Erlong was your cousin. What did you do then?"

"You dared not face the impending gossip, so you chose to elope overnight, escaping and leaving Liu Erlong to bear the gossip alone for twenty years, while you yourself fled to a remote place and lived a comfortable life."

"Since ancient times, we've heard of many women running away from their weddings, but this is the first time I've ever heard of a man choosing to run away on his wedding night. I must say, you've really made Yu Yuanzhen proud."

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has also set a precedent that is unprecedented in history."

Bai Wanwan gently blew on her painted nails. "Your father, Yu Yuanzhen, was a man of great ambition and influence, a renowned figure in the entire Spirit Master World. Yet he gave birth to someone like you, who perfectly inherited his flaws. You have no talent, no sense of responsibility, and have wasted half your life with your Soul Power stuck at level twenty-nine. You've only brought shame to your family. It's as if your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's ancestral graves are emitting black smoke."

"Of all the choices Yu Yuanzhen has ever made in his life, the most correct one was expelling you from the family. Otherwise, you would have torn away the last fig leaf of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"Take my advice: if you can't understand theories, don't bother studying them. Before becoming a wise person, you must first learn what it means to take responsibility."

"Having wasted half his life, achieving nothing, acquiring a title that makes the entire Spirit Master World a laughingstock, losing his courage and sense of responsibility—how pathetic, and how laughable."

"When you wake up in the middle of the night, think about Liu Erlong, who has carried the burden of rumors and gossip alone for twenty years. Think about her situation. And think about whether you yourself have felt even a little bit of guilt."

Yu Xiaogang's chest heaved violently.

Bai Wanwan's words were like sharp blades, each one precisely piercing his most cherished identity, reputation, theoretical achievements, and personal dignity.

He wanted to refute it, but he couldn't find a way to do so.

Because everything Bai Wanwan said was true, but it was these very truths that made him feel a tightness in his chest, and a raging fire burned fiercely in his heart, yet he had no way to vent it.

"You... you... you..."

Yu Xiaogang's chest heaved violently, his eyes were bloodshot, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Pfft~

Seemingly due to a sudden surge of anger, Yu Xiaogang coughed up a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and his body fell straight down, crashing heavily to the ground with a dull thud.

"Oh dear~"

"Elder, Elder, how are you?"

Ji Yun exclaimed in surprise and quickly went over to check on Yu Xiaogang's condition.

After confirming that Yu Xiaogang had simply fainted due to a sudden surge of anger, Ji Yun stopped speaking and instead looked questioningly at Qian Renxue and Bai Wanwan in the main seats.

"Tsk~"

"Take him away."

Bai Wanwan waved her hand gently.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yun immediately helped Yu Xiaogang up, pointed to the Papal Order on the ground, and asked softly, "What about this?"

"Find a way to take it back yourself and hand it over to the Papal Hall."

Qian Renxue said casually, looking at Bai Wanwan's slender hand with its nail polish painted Ice Blue, and nodded in satisfaction.

Ji Yun nodded heavily, picked up the Papal Order, and led Yu Xiaogang out of the King's Mansion.

After Ji Yun left with Yu Xiaogang, Qian Renxue released Bai Wanwan's hand, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Wanwan, I told you this color suits you."

How are you feeling?

Bai Wanwan looked at her two hands with their Ice Blue nail polish and nodded slightly. "They do look quite nice."

"As long as it looks good, that's all that matters."

"Let's go back to our room and change our clothes, then we'll have a good look around Suotuo City."

Qian Renxue got up and pulled Bai Wanwan towards the room.

Inside the room.

Qian Renxue sat on the bed, looking at Bai Wanwan, who had changed into an Ice Blue gradient Gothic dress. Her gaze gradually moved down to Bai Wanwan's long, straight legs, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.

"Wanwan, try these on, they should suit you very well."

Qian Renxue took out two elegant anklets and leg rings, mainly Ice Blue in color, from her Storage Soul Tool and placed them in front of Bai Wanwan.

"Forehead..."

"Sister, when did you buy this?"

Bai Wanwan picked up the items and put them on her ankles and legs.
