[Bibi Dong's matter could be left at that for now. Next was another member of the Blind Douluo Duo—Liu Erlong!]
[If Yu Xiaogang used Bibi Dong because she came from Spirit Hall, which was at odds with his own family, then perhaps he could barely be defended.]
[But if certain suspicions about Liu Erlong were confirmed, then there would be no defending him at all.]
Liu Erlong: ???
That serious?
For real?
The others' eyes lit up. Holy crap, another huge scoop!
Bibi Dong no longer had the heart to wallow in misery. She immediately perked up.
What was going on?
Was someone even more miserable than her?
Hurry up and tell them!
[Not long after Yu Xiaogang left Spirit Hall, he met Flender and Liu Erlong. The three could use a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and thus the Golden Iron Triangle officially made its debut.]
[As time passed, the three grew closer. One day, Flender realized he had feelings for Liu Erlong. After struggling with it for a while, he gathered his courage and confessed to her.]
[Who would have thought that Liu Erlong would reject him on the spot? She even called Yu Xiaogang over and declared that the one she liked was Yu Xiaogang.]
[That was why I previously called it the Golden Triangle Romance.]
[Flender's confession was rejected, and then he got stabbed in the heart on top of that. Yet he did not feel much negativity. Instead, he began trying to bring the two together.]
[With Flender's support and Liu Erlong taking the initiative, the two quickly confirmed their relationship and prepared to marry.]
[Heh, writing this, I have to mention Bibi Dong again. Because at this time, it could be said to be the darkest period of Bibi Dong's life. But where was the Gangzi she constantly thought about?]
[He had long since forgotten her completely. He had a new lover.]
Bibi Dong: ...
Even if you were standing up for this Pope, could you stop bringing it up?
Please stop linking me to that useless scumbag, thank you!
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes irritably, but at the same time, she felt a warmth in her heart.
She had never expected that the person who understood her and felt indignant on her behalf would be someone she had never even met.
It was rather amazing when she thought about it.
[Their wedding ceremony was simple, and everything went smoothly before the wedding. However, just as they were about to complete the rites, an uninvited guest arrived!]
[The visitor was none other than Yu Luomian, the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Liu Erlong's biological father.]
The women: Huh? Th-this...
[That's right, Liu Erlong's father. In other words, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong were cousins. Yu Luomian's purpose in coming was also clear: to stop them.]
[What happened afterward was simple. Once Yu Luomian explained everything, Yu Xiaogang acted as though he could not bear the blow and decisively ran away again.]
[That's right, this guy ran away again, again, and again!]
The women: ...
Impressive. Just as expected of you, Gangzi!
[The matter was more or less over at this point. Let's not criticize Yu Xiaogang's cowardly act of running away for now. Instead, let's ask a key question: was all this truly just a coincidence caused by fate?]
[Did Yu Xiaogang really not notice Liu Erlong's identity at all beforehand?]
[Liu Erlong's Fire Dragon Martial Soul was mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. Did Yu Xiaogang truly make no connection whatsoever?]
[Forget Spirit Hall. This guy had read all the theoretical knowledge of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. And with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill requiring two people to be of one mind, with such a deep connection between them, did he really have no suspicions at all?]
[Liu Erlong was an illegitimate daughter, raised outside the family, and she was careless by nature. It was normal for her not to notice anything wrong. But what about Yu Xiaogang?]
[This guy had spent his entire life studying theoretical knowledge. Was he really such a useless idiot that he had read all those books for nothing? Or did he know, but deliberately choose to keep quiet for some reason?]
The others were merely enjoying the gossip, but Liu Erlong truly could not hold herself together anymore.
Was he an idiot, or did he do it deliberately?
Either possibility seemed to mean that Yu Xiaogang was no longer the Yu Xiaogang she remembered.
The Yu Xiaogang in her heart had been the embodiment of integrity and wisdom.
But now, that illusion had been shattered to pieces.
What the real answer was no longer mattered.
[Both guesses are possible. The first one is actually fine. After all, those who understand what kind of person Gangzi is will understand. It would be normal if he genuinely failed to notice.]
[But if it was the latter, then it would be disgusting.]
[Knowing full well that she was his cousin, and yet he still... Ugh!]
[What a perverted monster!]
[Of course, strictly speaking, Liu Erlong wasn't much better. Even after learning about their relationship, she still kept thinking about Yu Xiaogang. In the original story, after Yu Xiaogang and the others came to Heaven Dou City, this woman even nearly forced herself on Gangzi. That was truly something!]
[Honestly, Liu Erlong really ought to learn more from Tang Yuehua in this regard. Look at how rational she is.]
[She might have thoughts in her heart, but she knew it could not be done. She silently endured it all and never caused any trouble.]
Holy crap!
The women cried out in shock. There was simply too much information in those words.
Forced herself on Gangzi?
Was Liu Erlong that fierce?
Honestly, although the women were savoring this juicy gossip, they also felt somewhat nauseated inside.
After learning what kind of person Gangzi was, looking at Liu Erlong's actions just felt wrong in every way.
She was really that desperate, huh!
"Slander! You bastard, that's slander."
Liu Erlong panicked. As if she had touched something filthy, she hurriedly distanced herself from it.
With Su Ye saying this, there was no need to think about it. Tieba would surely be flooded with posts about her soon. This guy was going to ruin her reputation.
At the thought of that scene, Liu Erlong felt incredibly irritated, and her teeth itched with hatred toward Yu Xiaogang.
Bastard, it was all this guy's fault. He had made her lose face before the Netizens. The next time she saw him, she would make him pay.
Just as she was fuming, Liu Erlong's eyes suddenly lit up.
Wait...
Tang Yuehua?
Was that the Tang Yuehua she knew?
Could it be that she also...
As though she had thought of something, Liu Erlong's lips curled into a smile, and much of her anger dissipated.
Social death was terrifying, but if someone accompanied her and helped draw away the firepower, then perhaps it was not so bad.
Moonlight Pavilion.
Tang Yuehua leaned elegantly against the window, silently enjoying the gossip.
At times she frowned, and at times she muttered quiet complaints. When she saw Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang's relationship exposed, an extremely complicated emotion surfaced in her eyes.
But before she could think further, she suddenly saw her own name. It threw her into complete panic, and she nearly fell straight out the window.
No, why was this about me too?
Su Ye did not know how the people involved felt, nor did he know about the chaos that might erupt on Tieba tonight.
Seeing that the diary had met its quota, he wrapped things up simply and prepared to rest.
He had been tired all day. Tomorrow, he had to begin refining the Nirvana Creation Pill, so he needed to restore his energy.
And just as Su Ye went to meet the Duke of Zhou in his dreams, Tieba completely exploded.
Seeing that the diary had ended, the women all moved to Tieba and began making posts to complain. In the end, everyone gathered beneath one post and started discussing it together.
[Rich Little Lady: I never expected it, I really never expected today's gossip to be this huge. One scoop after another—I enjoyed it so much.]
[Sister Rules Strictly: Who could have expected it? If not for Su Ye, who would have known that the dignified Pope would actually...]
[Rakshasa Does Not Speak of Love: Actually what? Keep talking!]
[Sister Rules Strictly: ...]
[Everyone else: ...]
The conversation instantly went cold.
The identities behind the others' nicknames might still be impossible to guess, but this one...
