[Dugu Yan]: Here it comes again! By the time this Sky Screen finishes playing, I could publish a book called Grandmaster's Classic Filial Piety Quotes Collection.
Seeing this scene, Dugu Yan could not help but sneer mockingly once more.
Having lost both her parents at a young age, Dugu Yan valued familial affection above all else. No matter what, she could not tolerate someone like Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Tianheng had originally wanted to defend his uncle, but after recalling Yu Xiaogang's actions, he ultimately remained silent.
"Sorry, Uncle... you really went too far this time!"
[Yu Yuanzhen had been flying through the air just fine when Yu Xiaogang's words made him instantly furious. He nearly wanted to throw Yu Xiaogang straight out of the sky.]
["Wait! Father, listen to my explanation!"]
[Noticing the nearly tangible killing intent in his father's eyes, Yu Xiaogang immediately panicked. He did not want to die just like that!]
["Hmph! If you can't give me a reasonable explanation today, don't blame me for being ruthless and breaking both your legs!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly as the aura of a Title Douluo suddenly erupted.]
[Clearly, Yu Yuanzhen had made up his mind. If Yu Xiaogang could not explain himself, he would no longer spare a thought for blood ties!]
[Crushed beneath the pressure of a Title Douluo, Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale. Trembling, he hurriedly spoke.]
["Ahem! Th-that... Father, look, this time only the two of us came out to hunt Soul Beasts. Other than you, no one knows what my Soul Skill actually is, nor do they know whether my Martial Soul has improved."]
["So, once we return, we just need to insist that my Martial Soul improved greatly after absorbing the Soul Ring! With your status and prestige, who in the clan would dare openly question you?"]
["Hah!"]
[After hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen was so angry that he laughed. This unfilial son actually wanted him, a dignified Title Douluo, to lie through his teeth before the entire clan?!]
["Father! Just this once, I promise, only this once!"]
[Seeing that Yu Yuanzhen's anger had not subsided, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly continued begging shamelessly.]
["Once I cultivate to level twenty, I'll definitely find a way to improve my Martial Soul! When that happens, won't the lie you tell today become reality? Then you won't be deceiving anyone!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen fell silent as he looked at his desperately pleading son. His mind rapidly weighed the pros and cons.]
[If he returned and told the truth this time, those clan elders would definitely get to the bottom of it. If they discovered that Yu Xiaogang's Soul Skill was actually farting, would he not lose all face as clan leader?]
[At that thought, Yu Yuanzhen finally let out a long sigh.]
["Fine... we'll do as you say."]
[At those words, undisguised smugness instantly appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face. He knew his father too well; Yu Yuanzhen valued face more than life itself.]
[Yu Xiaogang immediately pressed his advantage and said with a fawning smile.]
["In that case, Father... shouldn't my cultivation resources after returning to the clan continue to be distributed according to the standards for the Young Clan Leader? After all, if we're putting on an act, we have to see it through, right?"]
[The moment those words left his mouth, Yu Yuanzhen shot Yu Xiaogang a fierce glare. Only then did he finally understand why Yu Xiaogang wanted him to conceal the truth: it was merely so he could continue enjoying the privileges of the Young Clan Leader.]
[Yet he could not refuse. After all, Yu Xiaogang was right—an act had to be carried through to the end.]
[In the end, Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth and agreed to Yu Xiaogang's request. But he still issued a stern warning.]
["You had better find a way to change your Martial Soul's quality when you reach level twenty! Otherwise, don't blame me for disregarding the bond between father and son!"]
[Yu Xiaogang nodded confidently. In his view, absorbing this Soul Ring had merely been an accident. With his talent, it would not be long before he found a solution.]
[After reaching an agreement, father and son returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]
[Faced with the questions of the clan elders, Yu Yuanzhen still cared about his pride and did not take the initiative to speak.]
[Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, unceremoniously borrowed his father's authority and boasted before everyone about how heaven-defying the changes to his Martial Soul had been after obtaining his first Soul Ring. He spoke with great passion and absolute certainty!]
[Although the clan elders had their doubts, Yu Yuanzhen was standing right beside them and did not speak up to refute him. Coupled with Yu Xiaogang's confident demeanor, no one ultimately dared step forward.]
[Thus, as expected, Yu Xiaogang continued receiving the resource treatment of the Young Clan Leader.]
When this segment of the Sky Screen footage finished playing, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in reality erupted into complete chaos!
Those clan elders who had already held considerable grievances against Yu Xiaogang could no longer endure the humiliation of having been fooled like monkeys for decades!
Back then, they had truly believed Yu Xiaogang's nonsense, believing that his Martial Soul had genuinely evolved.
Therefore, for a long time afterward, no matter how arrogant and overbearing Yu Xiaogang acted within the clan or how many top-tier resources he consumed, they accepted it and even treated him with great respect.
Even when Yu Xiaogang accidentally exposed his crippled Martial Soul and farting Soul Skill, they had still foolishly believed the clan leader's explanation. They thought Yu Xiaogang had simply been unlucky while absorbing his second Soul Ring, causing his Martial Soul to undergo another malignant mutation.
But only after seeing the Sky Screen today did they understand that the clan leader they had always revered had been deceiving them all along.
For a time, the Sky Screen's comment section was completely flooded with the furious condemnation of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan members.
[Yu Hui]: Clan Leader, you were muddleheaded! Wasn't this just a complete waste of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's resources?!
[Yu Yan]: I always thought Yu Xiaogang had simply been unlucky back then, that something had gone wrong when he absorbed his second Soul Ring and left him crippled. Never did I imagine... that you, Clan Leader, had been deceiving all of us from the very beginning!
[Yu Gang]: Clan Leader, what you did is truly chilling! Yu Xiaogang took no small amount of our clan's resources back then. Once this Sky Screen ends, you must give everyone in the clan an explanation. Otherwise, I will immediately lead people out of the clan!
[Yu Jia]: That's right! Give us an explanation! You must give us an explanation!
Seeing the condemnation from members of his own clan on the Sky Screen, Yu Yuanzhen slumped weakly into his chair.
In the past, what mattered more than life itself to him was the clan's glory and his own reputation.
Yet now, because of the Sky Screen's revelation and what happened with Yu Xiaogang back then, not only was his reputation utterly ruined and his late-life honor destroyed, but he had also drawn the scorn and accusations of the entire clan.
How could the proud Yu Yuanzhen possibly accept this?
"Alas!"
Yu Luomian, seated below, looked at his elder brother's dispirited appearance and could not help letting out a long sigh.
