Dong'er, You Were Truly Blind When You Were Young

Yu Xiaogang spent his entire life trying to prove he wasn't trash, yet in the end, he was still trash.

People should know their own limits. His Ten Great Core Theories of Soul Masters would never be believed by any real Soul Master. They could only fool clueless novices like Tang San, who had never systematically studied Soul Master knowledge.

Yu Xiaogang's sin wasn't plagiarism or being trash, but his deception.

Because Yu Xiaogang's talent was too poor, he devoted all his energy to Soul Master knowledge. This caused the people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan to look down on him more and more. Amid all the gossip, Yu Xiaogang ran away from home.

After leaving, Yu Xiaogang came to Spirit City. His arrival brought a great disaster upon Bibi Dong, who was still the Saintess of Spirit Hall at the time.

In order to plagiarize materials from Spirit Hall's library, Yu Xiaogang deliberately approached Bibi Dong and gained her trust. He even made Dong'er fall for him.

I was utterly speechless. It seemed Qian Xunji had only taught Bibi Dong how to cultivate and never taught her anything else. Otherwise, how could the Saintess of Spirit Hall, the future Pope of Spirit Hall, fall for trash like Yu Xiaogang?

Wasn't there something wrong with her brain? Qian Xunji really didn't know how to teach students.

Later, Yu Xiaogang copied quite a bit of knowledge. Qian Xunji didn't care much about that, but he cared about his student. Bibi Dong actually intended to leave with Yu Xiaogang and even give up her Position of Saintess.

This was too outrageous. I had no idea how someone as ordinary-looking as Yu Xiaogang could fool Dong'er to such an extent. It was simply absurd.

Later still, in order to keep Bibi Dong from leaving with Yu Xiaogang, Qian Xunji did some very terrible things. That incident was also the source of Bibi Dong's descent into darkness.

Alas... Yu Xiaogang harmed people!!!

To put it bluntly, Yu Xiaogang never cared about Bibi Dong at all. He approached her solely for that knowledge.

During the decades after he left, had he ever sent Bibi Dong a single message?

Dong'er, you were truly blind when you were young.

Fortunately, Dong'er turned back from the brink and killed Yu Xiaogang. That counted as revenge.

Heaven Dou City.

Qian Renxue quietly looked at the notebook in her hands, her expression somewhat dazed.

"The source of that woman's descent into darkness was connected to Father! She was originally Father's student. What could have made her turn dark and hate Father?"

"Then why did she target me?"

Qian Renxue murmured softly, feeling as if she had figured something out.

Her face immediately turned pale.

"No, no! Father couldn't be that kind of person."

"Yu Xiaogang! Yu Xiaogang!!! It was all because of you!!!" Qian Renxue's expression darkened, her Eyes reddening as she clenched her fists. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to find Yu Xiaogang and torture him to death.

If not for him, she should have had a complete family now.

Yu Xiaogang, you had chosen The path to death.

Spirit Hall.

The current Papal Palace was extremely oppressive.

Lingyuan Douluo and Hu Liena stood close together in the center of the great hall. Both of them lowered their heads slightly in unspoken agreement, their gazes cautious as they did not dare look at That person above them.

Bibi Dong sat upon the Pope's throne.

Her face was unnaturally pale. Even more terrifying was the aura radiating from Around the body, as though she were ready to kill someone.

Hu Liena had never seen her Teacher like this.

Hu Liena quietly swallowed, hesitated for a long time, then finally gathered all her courage and cautiously asked, "T-Teacher... are you... all right?"

Bibi Dong slowly raised her head.

A chill ran down both Hu Liena's and Ling Yuan's backs.

They saw Bibi Dong's Eyes.

Her Eyes had originally been purple, but they were now filled with horrifying bloodshot veins.

Bibi Dong's gaze fell upon the two of them.

"Tell me, are Xu Fan's words... believable?" she asked word by word, her voice making it obvious that her fury was raging.

It sounded as though she was asking Hu Liena and Ling Yuan, yet even more as though she were questioning herself.

Hu Liena and Ling Yuan fell silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to answer rashly.

What if she was dissatisfied with their answer and killed them?

Bibi Dong seemingly did not need their answer either.

Her gaze became somewhat unfocused.

Yu Xiaogang... He wanted to go to the library every day... and once he went, he stayed there all day.

Once, she had thought it was his thirst for knowledge, his drive, and his focus.

Now, when she combined Xu Fan's words with those details she recalled... everything seemed to have another explanation.

She was merely a tool.

She, the Saintess of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, whose talent was unmatched, might truly have been nothing more than a... tool in that person's heart!

"Heh." Bibi Dong's laughter sent chills down their spines.

Did she believe it?

Perhaps she did, but there was even more doubt than belief. She wanted to witness Yu Xiaogang's ugliness with her own Eyes.

"Perhaps... I truly was blind."

A forest.

Boom!

A great tree was destroyed outright.

Liu Erlong stood amid the wreckage, her Soul Power erupting.

She clenched her fists and growled hoarsely, "Fake... it's all fake!"

Her voice was loud, as though she were trying to convince herself.

"How could Xiao Gang be that kind of person?! Cowardly? Scheming? Using women?!" With every question, the Flames around her grew more intense.

Boom!

A scorching stream of fire burst from her palm, instantly swallowing a Hundred Year Wind Baboon ahead of her.

At this moment, slaughter became her only outlet.

If she saw a soul beast, she killed it!

If she saw a tree that offended her eyes, she destroyed it!

Her figure darted wildly through the forest. Wherever she passed, blazing flames rose, wood chips flew, and soul beast corpses carpeted the ground.

She tried to use such pure violence to drive Xu Fan's words from her mind.

How could the man Liu Erlong had chosen, the man she had waited decades for, be such a vile hypocrite?

Xu Fan had to be talking nonsense!

She punched the rock wall beside her.

Who knew how much time passed.

Liu Erlong's movements finally began to slow.

She stood where she was, her chest heaving violently as she panted heavily.

She slowly lowered her head and looked at her hands.

Was it really... nonsense?

Just as she was lost in confusion, Liu Erlong's Pupils contracted.

The second person Yu Xiaogang deceived was Liu Erlong. Erlong should be the Dean of Blue Tyrant Academy right now, shouldn't she?

This time, Yu Xiaogang went even further. Liu Erlong was Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter, which made her Yu Xiaogang's cousin! He actually disregarded all ethics to deceive Liu Erlong. It was utterly despicable.

After Yu Xiaogang left, he met Erlong in Heaven Dou City. Once he saw Erlong's martial soul, he knew she belonged to his own family.

Yu Xiaogang had read all the records of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, so he naturally knew that one mutated martial soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was the Fire Dragon, and Liu Erlong's martial soul was the Fire Dragon.

He knew from the very beginning!
