Yu Luomian Arrives

Flender walked to the table, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the surface, revealing his inner turmoil.

After a moment, he turned to look at Lin Hai and asked in a deep voice:

"During the day, I went to draw lots, Platinum Bishop Salas of the Spirit Hall of Heaven Dou City claimed he would petition the Pope to commend Shrek Academy! Did you instigate this?"

Lin Hai was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then he understood the reason why Flender had suddenly asked him to talk.

He then showed a hint of helplessness and shook his head:

"I was unaware of this matter. I originally planned to formally invite you to join the Spirit Hall after the competition ended."

"Join the Spirit Hall?" Flender was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand:

"No, no, no! You know my personality, including Zhao Wuji and the others. They've all gotten used to being carefree over the years, and what they can't stand the most is being constrained by those rules and regulations."

Lin Hai didn't press the matter, but simply smiled faintly, his tone carrying a deeper meaning:

"Even if they don't join, they won't necessarily stand against me in the future, will they?"

Flender paused for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

On one side is an old friend of many years, and on the other side is a close friend of three years despite the age difference.

If a conflict were to actually break out between the two sides in the future, he would find it difficult to make a decision and would be unwilling to get involved.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Er Long... do you know your true identity?"

"She doesn't know yet, and has never asked about it," Lin Hai answered frankly, then added firmly:

"But I believe it won't affect anything. She will definitely stand by my side and stand with me through thick and thin."

Based on his memories from his past life and the two years they spent together, Lin Hai believed he understood Liu Erlong better than anyone else.

She has a strong sense of justice, and her emotions are intense and focused; once she falls in love, she will give her all.

As long as you don't cross her moral bottom line, she is the kind of woman who would give everything for the one she loves.

The Spirit Hall's unification of the continent was neither a matter of right nor wrong.

After all, the border frictions and small-scale wars between the Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empire kingdoms have never stopped over the years. When has the continent ever had true peace?

"I trust you."

Flender's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, fixed on Lin Hai, and he said in a low voice:

"But remember, never let her down. Otherwise, even if I am far less capable than you..."

At this point, Flender felt a little embarrassed; he had raised the bar too high!

Given the disparity in strength between the two sides, his threat was utterly ineffective!

"You want to splatter my blood too?" Lin Hai chuckled lightly, calmly accepting his words.

"Hahaha! Good that you understand!" Flender burst into laughter upon hearing this.

After exchanging a few more casual words, Lin Hai took his leave.

Flender's purpose this time was extremely simple—

He just wanted to confirm Lin Hai's feelings for Liu Erlong. As long as the feelings were genuine, nothing else mattered.

He even secretly thought:

If Yu Xiaogang could really return to Bibi Dong's side, perhaps even the feud between Tang Hao and his son and the Spirit Hall could be resolved!

All I can say is that he overthinks things.

When Lin Hai returned to his residence, he found Liu Erlong sitting in the room waiting for him.

"What did Boss Fu want to talk to you about?" Liu Erlong quickly stepped forward, took his arm, and asked with concern, "I noticed that he seemed a bit off when he left."

Lin Hai took her hand and sat down with her, smiling as he recounted the conversation they had just had, and then took the opportunity to explain his background.

Finally, he said softly, "It's not that I meant to hide it from you, but you've never asked, and I don't know where to begin."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong was stunned for a long time before his brows furrowed tightly.

Her reaction surprised Lin Hai.

Had I misjudged her? Did this little female dragon harbor some patriotism deep within her heart?

He was about to explain when he heard Liu Erlong say, "Are you Bibi Dong's disciple? No wonder you seemed hostile towards Xiao Gang."

"Fine, it doesn't matter. But if this happens... wouldn't I be a generation younger than that woman for no reason?!"

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Hahaha! Dragon Dragon, your focus is... quite unique!"

Seeing that Liu Erlong was about to explode, he quickly reached out and pulled her into his arms, gently soothing her:

"Don't worry, you're still of the same generation. Let's each do our own thing and not interfere with each other."

'My women, regardless of their era or relationship, are all my peers.' He only dared to think this in his heart.

However, Liu Erlong suddenly realized that his words were somewhat inappropriate and hurriedly explained:

"Don't get me wrong! What I'm saying has absolutely nothing to do with Yu Xiaogang! It's just... a little resentful. Bibi Dong isn't that much older than me!"

Lin Hai was very satisfied with her interpretation, and deliberately put on a stern face, saying, "If you misspoke, you should at least show some remorse, right?"

Liu Erlong rolled her eyes at him, her eyes sparkling with a hint of coquettishness. "So what do you want? I'm ready to play along!"

Lin Hai scrutinized her slightly flushed cheeks, then suddenly leaned close to her ear, blew a breath, and whispered with a chuckle, "Your hair is a little messy."

After two years of being a de facto couple, they already have an unspoken understanding on some things.

Liu Erlong snorted softly, deftly took out a rubber band, tied her long hair up with one hand, and violently unbuckled Lin Hai's belt with the other:

"I must have owed you something in my past life!"

After saying that, she slowly squatted down.

The following afternoon, in the Shrek Academy reception room.

"What are you doing here?" Liu Erlong asked the middle-aged man opposite her in a cold voice.

The man's face bore a resemblance to Liu Erlong's; he was the vice patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and her biological father— Yu Luomian.

"Er Long, I am still your father." Yu Luomian a bitter smile, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible guilt.

Liu Erlong, however, showed no appreciation and sneered, "That's just your opinion!"

Yu Luomian sighed, her voice low and somber. "Er Long, I was the one who wronged you and your daughter back then."

"But the fact that you named the academy ' Blue Tyrant ' shows that you still have feelings for your family, doesn't it?"

Liu Erlong seemed to have her secret exposed, and was about to retort when Yu Luomian raised his hand to stop her, "Let me finish what I have to say first."

"You hate me because I didn't stand up for you when your uncle refused to let your mother be buried in the ancestral mausoleum. I understand all of that."

"And my presence here today is also related to this matter."

"What do you mean?" Liu Erlong's gaze sharpened, a glimmer of hope rising in his heart.

Yu Luomian did not answer directly, but instead asked:

"In your academy, are there two students, one Xiao Wu and the other named Zhu Zhuqing?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's hope shattered instantly.

She didn't speak, her face instantly turning cold.

At first, she wondered why this father had come to visit so suddenly. It turned out that he had also come for Lin Hai's baby!
