Seeing Su Chen suddenly stop in place and look toward the street corner, Bibi Dong paused in confusion and asked,
"What is it?"
Only then did Su Chen withdraw his gaze and shake his head lightly.
"Nothing."
Though Bibi Dong was somewhat puzzled, she did not press the matter. She merely glanced casually in the direction Su Chen had been looking.
Meanwhile,
just as Su Chen spotted Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang saw Su Chen as well.
In an instant, Yu Xiaogang's gloomy mood was swept away.
Half a year ago,
Qian Xunji had exposed him in public. His so-called Martial Soul Evolution had been nothing but a complete joke.
From then on, his standing within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had plummeted.
No more resources.
No more flattery.
All that awaited him were mocking looks and cutting jeers.
In the end, unable to bear it any longer, he fled the clan.
And now, upon seeing Su Chen again, that long-lost sense of superiority rose within Yu Xiaogang once more.
In his eyes, no matter how useless he was, he was still a Soul Master with Soul Power.
But what about Su Chen?
He was still nothing more than that trash with no Soul Power.
At that thought, a smug smile curled across Yu Xiaogang's lips.
The next moment, he straightened his robes and strode toward Su Chen.
"Well, well! Isn't this Yu Chen?"
"So you disappeared from the clan all this time just to hide here."
After walking up to them, Yu Xiaogang spoke with his chin raised.
He looked as though he had returned to being the lofty young clan master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Su Chen had not expected Yu Xiaogang to notice him as well. Faced with Yu Xiaogang's provocation, he merely gave him a calm glance.
"I just happened to come here."
His voice was faint.
There was not a trace of emotion in it.
Yet it was precisely this calmness that inexplicably irritated Yu Xiaogang.
Because what he wanted most was to see Su Chen looking ashamed and flustered.
Not acting as if Yu Xiaogang did not even deserve his attention.
Just then, Bibi Dong walked over as well.
Standing beside Su Chen, she tilted her head slightly and asked in confusion,
"Su Chen, who is this?"
Only then did Yu Xiaogang notice Bibi Dong beside Su Chen.
With just one glance,
he froze where he stood.
The girl wore a purple-black gown, her waist slender and her figure tall.
Her face was so exquisite that there was scarcely a flaw to be found.
Her brows and eyes were like a painting, her skin fairer than snow.
Her smooth long hair cascaded down, and beneath the interwoven night and lamplight, it only made her appear even more noble and aloof.
Simply standing there, she seemed utterly out of place amid Suotuo City's night market.
For a moment, Yu Xiaogang stared at her in a daze.
At that instant, a thought arose in his heart.
His future partner could only be her.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong in the Pope's Palace felt incomparably delighted.
"Sure enough, Xiao Gang has always loved only me!"
Bibi Dong was pleased, but naturally someone else was not. Liu Erlong's eyes had turned red as jealousy and anger surged into her heart.
In the Sky Screen, she was clearly the one together with Yu Xiaogang, yet Yu Xiaogang was thinking about being with Bibi Dong right in front of her.
Even as an utterly love-struck fool, she could not help feeling enraged by such a scene.
At the same time, the comment section exploded.
[Spirit Hall Deacon]: Seriously, Yu Xiaogang has no shame at all! Does he not even know what kind of trash he is?!
[Yan]: A useless wretch actually dares dream of approaching Her Holiness the Pope? He is courting death! If he dares appear before me, I will beat him senseless.
The entire comment section was condemning Yu Xiaogang. The reason they had not criticized Su Chen before was because his talent and ability truly made him worthy of Bibi Dong.
But now, a worthless fool with a fart Martial Soul was actually fantasizing about being with Bibi Dong. How could the people of Spirit Hall possibly tolerate that?
Seeing the insults and ridicule directed at him in the comments, Yu Xiaogang could not help recalling the time Qian Xunji had driven him out of Spirit City. His eyes immediately reddened, his fingers clenched tightly, and he cursed viciously in his heart.
"Damn it, damn it! They are all a bunch of blind fools!"
When Bibi Dong asked, Su Chen did not hide it.
"His name is Yu Xiaogang. My younger brother."
Upon hearing the three words "Yu Xiaogang," the curiosity on Bibi Dong's face instantly turned cold.
When she saw Yu Xiaogang staring at her with that infatuated expression, the disgust in her eyes became completely undisguised.
Flender, who had been standing behind Yu Xiaogang, was also startled by Bibi Dong's beauty.
But he quickly regained his composure.
After all, Liu Erlong was the only one in his heart.
Now that he had come back to his senses and saw Yu Xiaogang still standing there dumbfounded, Flender finally could not stand it any longer and gave a light cough.
"Xiao Gang, are they your friends?"
Hearing his voice, Yu Xiaogang abruptly came back to his senses. Realizing he had just lost his composure, he hurriedly forced himself to appear calm.
"Of course I know them."
"This is my biological older brother."
As he said this, Yu Xiaogang even wore a faintly proud expression.
In the past, he had never wanted to admit his relationship with Su Chen.
In his eyes, having an ordinary person with no Soul Power as his older brother would only have made him feel ashamed.
But things were different now.
His reputation as a useless nobody had already spread everywhere.
At a time like this, comparing himself to Su Chen could instead help him regain a little sense of superiority.
At the very least,
in his eyes, he was still far stronger than Su Chen.
Flender and Liu Erlong knew very little about Yu Xiaogang's affairs to begin with, since they had only known one another for a few days.
Thus, after learning that Su Chen was Yu Xiaogang's biological older brother, they were surprised but did not think much of it.
Flender immediately smiled and introduced himself.
"I am Flender."
"This is Liu Erlong."
"Since you are Xiao Gang's older brother, you are one of us as well."
As Liu Erlong looked at Su Chen, she inexplicably felt a favorable impression of him and smiled.
"Just call me Erlong. All my friends do."
Su Chen merely responded calmly.
"Su Chen."
"A pleasure to meet you."
Just two simple sentences.
Neither warm nor rude.
At that moment, Yu Xiaogang finally could not hold himself back any longer.
He first adjusted his cuffs, then forced out what he believed was a gentle, refined smile before taking two steps closer to Bibi Dong.
"I am Yu Xiaogang."
"Others also call me Grandmaster."
"May I ask your name, miss?"
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang deliberately straightened his back.
Watching Yu Xiaogang's performance, Bibi Dong felt nauseated.
Others might not know, but she had long learned Yu Xiaogang's true nature from her teacher.
Grandmaster?
He was nothing more than a useless fraud who cheated people out of resources.
And now, seeing Yu Xiaogang still daring to put on such a pretentious act, she could no longer suppress the disgust in her heart. She frowned and spoke coldly.
"Grandmaster?"
"You think you deserve that title?"
"You are nothing but a useless fraud, and you still have the nerve to ask my name?"
