Huff, huff, huff, huff.
Thinking of this, Liu Yuan couldn't help letting out a breath.
It was already late at night, and the temperature had dropped a little. His warm breath formed a small cloud of white mist in front of him.
The cold wind howled around him, brushing against his back and making him shiver.
He didn't stay outside any longer.
The moment had come. Liu Yuan, standing outside, gave a cold snort and summoned his Martial Soul.
A faint sound rang out, and a purple light appeared beside him.
A huge black Great Scythe took shape, floating at his side.
Liu Yuan seized it with one hand, ready to go straight inside and kill Yu Xiaogang in his room.
But—
Just as Liu Yuan was about to enter, before he could make a move, the crisp sound of footsteps suddenly reached his ears.
Hearing them, Liu Yuan's brows lifted slightly. He realized the footsteps were coming from Yu Xiaogang's room!
"Was I discovered?"
"That's impossible! With Yu Xiaogang's strength, he couldn't possibly see through my disguise."
Liu Yuan was deeply puzzled.
He immediately dismissed his Martial Soul, then found a concealed spot to hide. He watched from there, trying to figure out what was happening.
But this time, he'd guessed wrong.
The person who emerged from the room was indeed Yu Xiaogang, but he clearly hadn't come out because of Liu Yuan.
In other words, he still didn't know Liu Yuan was watching him.
After stepping outside, Yu Xiaogang looked furtively toward Liu Erlong's room.
Once he confirmed there was no light on in her room, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief.
Then a gleam of excitement appeared in his eyes. Wearing a strange smile, he headed straight for the gates of Shrek Academy.
"Is he leaving?"
"That's good!"
Seeing this, Liu Yuan followed close behind.
Killing Yu Xiaogang inside Shrek Academy would have been extremely risky. After all, Liu Erlong was staying not far from Yu Xiaogang's dormitory.
This clone of his was still too weak. If Liu Erlong caught him, he'd probably be done for.
That wasn't because Liu Yuan cared about losing this clone. It was just that being killed now would waste time. Even if Liu Yuan made another clone afterward, Tang San would have returned by the time it reached Shrek Academy.
Then there'd be no chance of killing Yu Xiaogang.
So long as Yu Xiaogang was still at Shrek Academy, Liu Yuan had no choice but to resort to an assassination attempt.
But now that Yu Xiaogang had chosen to leave on his own, it couldn't have worked out better.
Once they were far from here, wouldn't Yu Xiaogang be at his mercy? Liu Yuan could even make sure there wasn't enough left of him to bury!
Thinking this, Liu Yuan followed closely behind Yu Xiaogang.
He trailed him as Yu Xiaogang got farther and farther from Shrek Academy. Liu Yuan was getting excited, but he was also curious where Yu Xiaogang was going.
It was the middle of the night, and Yu Xiaogang was sneaking around. Where was he headed?
For a moment, Liu Yuan couldn't figure it out.
But it didn't take long for him to understand.
After leaving Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang headed straight for Suotuo City.
Shrek Academy wasn't far from Suotuo City, so he arrived before long.
And what Yu Xiaogang did after arriving left Liu Yuan utterly dumbfounded.
He didn't go anywhere else. Instead, he headed straight for a brothel.
He hurried over to the entrance, where several plump women in heavy makeup and revealing clothes soon came out to greet him.
After exchanging a few words, they were quickly cozying up to Yu Xiaogang. He, in turn, groped them with practiced ease. Clearly, this wasn't his first visit.
As Liu Yuan watched, Yu Xiaogang put an arm around one woman and led her into the brothel.
Liu Yuan, watching from behind, felt as if his whole worldview had been shattered.
"This..."
"I really underestimated you, Yu Xiaogang."
Liu Yuan sighed helplessly.
To be honest, although Liu Yuan had always felt a deep hatred for Yu Xiaogang, it was because of the abuse Yu Xiaogang had inflicted on him.
If that incident hadn't happened, Liu Yuan wouldn't have hated him so much.
But he'd never imagined Yu Xiaogang had this side to him.
After all, Liu Yuan had read the original story. He thought Yu Xiaogang had handled his romantic relationships terribly.
But from a modern perspective, there wasn't really much wrong with what he'd done.
For one thing, Yu Xiaogang hadn't slept with Bibi Dong. For another, he hadn't slept with Liu Erlong.
They'd simply dated, but in the end, things hadn't worked out and they'd broken up.
That was why Liu Yuan had never criticized Yu Xiaogang on that front.
But now he understood.
It wasn't that Yu Xiaogang had no issues in this area. He simply didn't care.
If Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong or Bibi Dong had just been incompatible, or their relationships had been obstructed by their families, Liu Yuan wouldn't have seen a problem with that.
But given the situation now, Liu Yuan didn't think it had been about incompatibility or family pressure.
Yu Xiaogang simply didn't want to take responsibility.
It made sense. Once you committed to someone, you were tied to one tree.
And what Yu Xiaogang was doing was much better, wasn't it? One woman today, another tomorrow. There was always someone to have fun with, and once he got bored, he could just toss her aside!
So the guy was a complete womanizer.
"He's really opened my eyes..."
Thinking this, Liu Yuan couldn't help sighing.
Looking at the brothel before him, he felt sorry for both Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong.
Especially Liu Erlong. She'd waited for Yu Xiaogang for more than ten years, wasting the best years of her life on him.
Who could have guessed Yu Xiaogang was such a piece of work?
"If you didn't want to marry them, why lead them on?"
"Or was Yu Xiaogang simply looking to have a little fun?"
"Maybe he'd planned to treat them like the women in brothels, have his fun, then toss them aside. But Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong were both conservative and wouldn't easily give themselves to him?"
"So in the end, he got frustrated and simply ran away?"
Liu Yuan had a pretty good idea of what Yu Xiaogang must have been thinking back then.
Another thought occurred to him.
"If Liu Erlong found out what Yu Xiaogang was really like..."
"How priceless would her expression be?"
