Although Yu Xiaogang had not directly confessed, the meaning behind this apology was already obvious.
Yu Yuanzhen coughed repeatedly, raised his right hand to point weakly at Yu Xiaogang, but could not utter a word.
"You... you... Ah, what a disgrace to the family."
In an instant, he seemed completely dejected. His usual imposing dignity had vanished, and he now looked more like a forlorn old man.
After composing himself for quite a while, Yu Yuanzhen finally rose from his grand chair, his face filled with disappointment.
"Xiaogang, you have truly disappointed me. Your cultivation talent is poor, and your strength has never improved, yet I did not care. I could tolerate that.
"But for something like this to happen today, how am I supposed to punish you? How am I supposed to face anyone? You... you..."
The more Yu Yuanzhen spoke, the more agitated he became. For a moment, he actually felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath.
Oxygen failed to reach his brain, and dizziness clouded his vision. He closed his eyes and fell stiffly toward the floor.
Yu Luomian and the three elders were closest to Yu Yuanzhen. Seeing that their clan leader was in trouble, they hurried forward to support him, preventing him from falling to the ground.
Seeing that his father had actually been angered into fainting, Yu Xiaogang anxiously tried to step forward to check on him.
Yu Luomian glared viciously at him and snapped.
"Stay on your knees, you unfilial son! Can't you see your father has been angered unconscious by you?
"I never should have brought you back to the clan. I should have killed you on the spot, you shameful scum!
"Er Long, watch him. If he dares get up, break his damn legs!"
With that, Yu Luomian left the council hall with the three elders, carrying away the unconscious clan leader.
"Yes, Father!" Liu Erlong was overjoyed this time.
Now that she had her father's approval, as long as Yu Xiaogang dared make any sudden moves, she could rightfully break his damn legs.
Seeing the ferocity and eager anticipation in Liu Erlong's eyes,
Yu Xiaogang shuddered for no reason. How could he dare move recklessly? He obediently knelt where he was and waited for news.
Seeing how terrified he looked, Liu Erlong cursed under her breath, "What a coward."
This? I'd like a piece of trash like this? What a joke.
With strength this pathetic and talent so abysmal, a loser who might never even reach Rank 30 in his entire life...
Was I blind, or did my brain get waterlogged, to fall in love with him?
That's completely impossible. It's simply absurd! There's no way that could happen in the future!
She could basically conclude that the diary's author was simply spreading rumors.
She clenched her fists indignantly, cursing in her heart.
Bastard, you dare spread rumors about me? No matter who you are or how strong you are...
One day, when I find you, I'll beat your teeth all over the ground.
Yu Xiaogang glanced at her from the side and muttered to himself.
Does this cousin have some kind of serious illness? She's baring her fangs at me—hasn't she beaten me enough already?
Liu Erlong also sensed the look in his eyes, as though he were looking at an idiot, and strode over to kick him in the backside.
"What are you looking at? Kneel properly! Believe it or not, I'll break both your legs, you disgraceful bastard!
"You even dared call me a crazy woman during the day. Are you fucking courting death?"
The more Liu Erlong thought about it, the angrier she became. She kicked him in the backside three more times in a row.
At this point, Yu Xiaogang's elder brother, Yu Xiaolong, could no longer stand watching. He stepped forward.
"Cousin Er Long, could you give me some face? No matter what, Xiaogang is still your cousin.
"Isn't this a bit too much? Just how much do you hate him to treat him like this?"
Liu Erlong curled her lips and replied calmly.
"Who says I'm deliberately abusing him? I'm following my father's orders. This disgraceful thing wasn't behaving himself.
"That's why I hit him. Don't wrong me. I'm not the sort of person who uses public matters to settle private grudges."
She reluctantly walked aside and did not continue tormenting Yu Xiaogang, but the displeasure in her eyes showed that she still wanted to give him a brutal beating.
"Second Brother, how are you? Does it still hurt?"
Looking at his younger brother, Yu Xiaolong felt a complicated mix of emotions.
He knew his younger brother's character better than anyone. He could not believe that his younger brother was actually that kind of pervert.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Big Brother, how is Father?"
Seeing his elder brother come to his rescue, Yu Xiaogang asked impatiently.
Yu Xiaolong replied with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, Father is fine. He was only angered into fainting. With his strength, nothing will happen to him. But..."
Yu Xiaolong hesitated, clearly harboring some concern.
"But what? Big Brother, just say it. How does the clan intend to deal with me? I'm prepared for it."
Grief welled up in Yu Xiaogang's heart. He knew that this incident had crossed the clan's bottom line and could not end peacefully.
Even though the clan leader was his father, he could not protect him at all.
"Sigh, Second Uncle and the three elders have unanimously agreed to expel you from the clan, strip you of your status, and forbid you from ever setting foot in the clan again."
Yu Xiaolong let out a heavy sigh, his face filled with sorrow.
"W-What? Expel me from the clan?"
Although Yu Xiaogang knew he had caused a catastrophic disaster, he had never expected to be expelled from the clan.
For someone who had lived beneath the glory of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan since childhood,
the clan had always been his spiritual pillar. He had always taken pride in being a member of it.
Now that they were going to remove him from the clan, it was undoubtedly even more painful than killing him outright.
Even if they granted him death and allowed him to be buried in the ancestral graves as a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he would rather accept that.
No matter what, he could not accept the outcome of being expelled from the clan.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, can you plead with Father and the elders for me?
"I'm willing to die to repay the clan for raising me. Just don't expel me from the clan."
Yu Xiaogang completely broke down this time and burst into tears on the spot.
"Sorry, Second Brother, there's nothing I can do. I already tried pleading with Second Uncle and the elders for you.
"But the trouble you caused this time is too great and will have far-reaching consequences for the clan. Second Uncle already has a prejudice against you, so given the chance, he definitely won't let you off."
Yu Xiaolong shook his head helplessly, looking at his younger brother with eyes full of pity.
This time, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze toward Liu Erlong. He crawled directly before her and grabbed both her legs.
"Cousin, Cousin Er Long, please help me plead with Second Uncle. I'm begging you. I'd rather die than leave the clan..."
Liu Erlong was wearing a skirt at the moment. When Yu Xiaogang suddenly lunged forward and grabbed her legs,
his line of sight would undoubtedly expose what was beneath her skirt.
Liu Erlong thought he was taking the opportunity to peep under her skirt, and fury instantly surged within her.
"You're courting death!!!"
