Yu Xiaogang's Last-Ditch Struggle
"Take Er Long, Dean Flender, and Yu Tianheng to meet Yu Xiaogang," Lin Hai said with a smile. "My teacher and I will be there later."
"Oh, okay." Hu Liena didn't ask any more questions and obediently replied.
Immediately, she stepped forward, affectionately took Liu Erlong's arm, and walked outside.
Flender and Yu Tianheng had no idea what Lin Hai was up to, so they could only follow him with their questions in mind.
Lin Hai greeted the others and went to the main bedroom alone.
First, he carefully released Bibi Dong from his Dantian Space and placed her on the soft bed. Then he quietly waited by her side for her to wake up.
Looking at Bibi Dong's peaceful and serene sleeping face, Lin Hai's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
He longed to give Ah Yin artificial respiration, just like he had kissed her awake back then.
However, whenever he lowered his head and got close to that stunningly beautiful face, a terrifying image would uncontrollably surface in his mind—
Just before their lips were about to touch, Bibi Dong suddenly opened her eyes and, without hesitation, hurled a Death Spider Web at him.
Then, with a slight upturn of her lips and a playful smile, she announced to him, "You lost!"
"Hmm~"
Just as Lin Hai was struggling with his inner turmoil and lost in thought, Bibi Dong let out a lazy and satisfied moan, her long eyelashes fluttering a few times as she slowly woke up.
The sound made Lin Hai's heart tremble slightly, and his body instinctively shudder!
Bibi Dong opened her beautiful eyes and saw this scene!
She then glanced around at her surroundings, propped her head up slightly with her arm, and teased:
"What's wrong? Is my room cold?"
"Or... have you been too indulgent all these years and your health has deteriorated to the point of being unhealthy?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Hai's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment.
He couldn't very well say it was because the other person's shout was too loud, could he?
Left with no other choice, he could only mimic the "Consort Jia" from his memory, forcing a strange expression on his face, and lightly punching Bibi Dong with his right hand in a loose fist:
"Stop fooling around!"
"Pfft—" Bibi Dong had never seen Lin Hai act so funny before, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "You brat, you're so cheeky! Hahaha..."
She laughed for a long time, feeling more relaxed than ever before.
However, she did not forget the important matter at hand.
After a moment, his smile faded, and he sighed softly, "Tell me, what's the situation now?"
Lin Hai wanted to let her enjoy this rare moment of relaxation a little longer, but he answered truthfully:
"Yu Xiaogang has been captured, while Tang Hao and his son have escaped."
"As for the specific details, I'll tell you later." This matter involves the Asura God, and it's really difficult to explain in just a few words. "Do you want to go see Yu Xiaogang?"
"What's the point of seeing him?" Bibi Dong's voice instantly turned cold, carrying a hint of barely perceptible disgust. "Just deal with him according to the rules!"
"You've seen Yu Xiaogang's true colors before," Lin Hai retorted meaningfully.
"Don't you... want to know what 'good deeds' he's done behind the scenes all these years?"
Bibi Dong remained silent for a moment, a complex light flashing in her eyes, before she stood up and said, "It would be good to meet him."
"Let's go!" Upon seeing this, Lin Hai immediately stepped forward, naturally reaching out to take Bibi Dong's hand, and made as if to walk outside.
With a soft "smack," Bibi Dong slapped away Lin Hai's "claws" without hesitation, glanced at him with her beautiful eyes, and scolded, "Behave yourself! You haven't beaten me yet!"
"It's only a matter of time!" Lin Hai chuckled awkwardly.
"Shameless!" Bibi Dong spat lightly, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
Yue Guan handled things quite well.
Knowing that there might be more to the story of Yu Xiaogang, he did not imprison him in a dark dungeon, but instead kept him in an ordinary room.
As Lin Hai and Bibi Dong walked outside side by side, they heard Yu Xiaogang's voice, filled with regret, coming from inside:
"Tian Heng, when you get back, tell your grandfather that I have let him down and have once again brought shame upon the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan..."
"Uncle, those theories..." Yu Tianheng hesitated before speaking.
"What is 'theory'?" Yu Xiaogang, his previous manic demeanor gone, revealed a bitter smile:
"It's simply a matter of organizing and summarizing real-world cases, and then analyzing and drawing accurate patterns from them!"
"Whose theory is based on mere imagination? Can Lin Hai guarantee that he didn't draw any inspiration from the Spirit Hall's treasures?"
He then changed the subject, seemingly with a sincere apology:
"I admit that I was too emotional before and did say some things without thinking, and my words and actions were inappropriate."
"But think about it carefully, given Lin Hai's status, why would he suddenly appear at the little-known Shrek Academy?"
"Furthermore, right after Bibi Dong announced that my theory was plagiarized, she immediately turned around and lavishly praised Lin Hai's theory..."
"Tian Heng, if you were in my situation, wouldn't you have doubts and think more about it?"
These words, seemingly a frank admission of some of his mistakes, were actually an attempt to downplay the seriousness of the matter, and were filled with malice between the lines.
He first tried to bring Lin Hai to his level, claiming that both of their theories were derived from other sources.
At the same time, he hinted to Flender and Liu Erlong that Lin Hai's appearance at the Shrek Academy was for ulterior motives and was premeditated!
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena could no longer contain her anger. She scoffed and retorted without any politeness:
"You're a prisoner, barely able to protect yourself, yet you dare to slander Little Hai! Do you have a death wish?!"
"Shrek Academy is unknown... So Little Hai went to Shrek just because of your nonsensical theory? Ridiculous!"
After saying that, she quickly turned to Flender, a slightly apologetic expression on her face, and explained:
"I'm sorry, Dean Flender, I absolutely did not mean to belittle Shrek."
"I was just going along with his logic, and things just happened in the heat of the moment!"
Sowing discord? Anyone can do that!
Flender couldn't help but let out a helpless, bitter smile.
Why keep emphasizing that Shrek is "unknown" when you're attacking each other? Being unknown is no big deal!
In fact, Flender had already made up his mind about this matter.
Lin Hai's initial target when he came to Shrek was likely Liu Erlong, and... to take revenge on Yu Xiaogang!
Although Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong had known Lin Hai for a long time, judging from their past behavior, their reunion at Shrek Academy was probably just a coincidence.
Liu Erlong had the same thought.
It can be said that Yu Xiaogang's current predicament is partly due to her influence.
But she didn't want to cause any more trouble.
She would follow him wherever he went, whether he was a chicken or a dog. As long as Lin Hai didn't wreak havoc on the world, she would live and die with him!
