Expelled from the Clan

Liu Erlong, her hair standing on end with rage, struggled desperately out of Yu Xiaogang's embrace and seized the chance to strike.

She raised her long, beautiful leg and viciously kicked him in the stomach, sending him clutching his belly and screaming in agony.

Yu Xiaolong hurriedly separated the two, helped Yu Xiaogang to his feet, and led him out of the main hall, lest Liu Erlong truly beat him to death.

After helping him into the courtyard, Yu Xiaolong quickly summoned two Healing Spirit Masters affiliated with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to treat his injuries.

Yu Xiaogang sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, receiving treatment from the Healing Spirit Masters as he looked sorrowfully at his elder brother.

"Big Brother, is there really no room to turn this around? I don't want to leave the clan. I'd rather die than leave."

"I'm sorry, Second Brother. Second Uncle and the three elders have already reached their decision. Even if Father wakes up, it will be difficult for him to keep you here for the sake of the clan's unity."

With a helpless expression, Yu Xiaolong took out a card containing Gold Soul Coins and handed it to Yu Xiaogang.

"Second Brother, there are fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins here. Once you're out there, remember to take good care of yourself. This is all your elder brother can do for you."

Yu Xiaogang did not take the card containing the Gold Soul Coins. He merely gave a bleak smile.

"Big Brother, I was actually framed in this matter. Do you believe me? Even I don't know why I did something like that at the time, as if I'd been possessed."

He lowered his head dejectedly and stared at the ground before adding in a firm tone.

"I'm not the kind of person who'll take anyone in desperation. There's a girl I deeply love in my heart. Other than her, I won't touch anyone..."

Yu Xiaolong knew his younger brother's character well. How could he possibly believe that Yu Xiaogang was indiscriminate and would go after both men and women?

"Second Brother, of course I believe you were framed. We brothers lived under the same roof for a full sixteen or seventeen years. No one understands your character better than I do. But it's useless. Second Uncle and the three elders won't believe it."

Yu Xiaolong suddenly thought of something, and his expression instantly turned grave.

"Second Brother, did you offend someone in Suotuo City? Someone skilled in mental attacks?"

His reminder cleared Yu Xiaogang's mind considerably, and he nodded.

"I did offend someone. He was a young man around twenty years old, with terrifyingly poor talent and only Level 20 strength. But I can be certain that he couldn't possibly have used a mental attack on me. He's only Level 20, after all."

"Around twenty, yet his Soul Power is only Level 20? Hmph, trash like that certainly couldn't possess any advanced mental attack methods. It probably wasn't him. Second Brother, think carefully again. Have you offended anyone else? As long as you find out who it was, Big Brother will definitely avenge you."

Yu Xiaolong sneered, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

His younger brother had been set up. If he, as the elder brother, could not stand up for him, how could he continue calling himself an elder brother?

"Big Brother, thank you. But for now, I really can't think of who it might be. Once I do, I'll definitely tell you."

Yu Xiaogang finally felt somewhat comforted. At least his elder brother still believed him...

Once Yu Xiaogang's external injuries had mostly been treated, he was brought back to the discussion hall to kneel again.

Yu Luomian and the three elders also arrived at the discussion hall to announce their decision regarding his punishment.

Just as Yu Xiaolong had said, Yu Xiaogang was formally expelled from the clan.

He was given only one hour to pack his personal belongings.

If he was still within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after one hour, his legs would be broken and he would be thrown out.

Yu Xiaogang understood that pleading was useless. He could only hurry and leave the clan as quickly as possible.

However, before leaving, he wanted to see his father one last time.

But Yu Luomian flatly rejected his request.

"Your father doesn't want to see you. Get the hell out of here already! Haven't you harmed your father enough?"

Yu Xiaogang was left speechless and could only return to his room in despair.

After simply packing his personal belongings, he took one last reluctant look around the room and left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Liu Erlong watched him leave the clan looking exactly like a dog driven from its home, bedraggled and miserable.

She could not have felt more satisfied. This matter had completely driven a wedge between her and Yu Xiaogang.

There would absolutely be no possibility of the two ever being together again.

But she did not care in the slightest. In fact, this was precisely the outcome she wanted.

If she had not feared causing a falling-out between her eldest uncle and father, she would have wanted to kill this cousin herself.

Having such a disgraceful cousin made her feel even the clan bloodline she had once been proud of was somewhat repulsive.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's expulsion of a younger generation member soon spread throughout the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Capital.

As for the reason, there was no definite answer.

Some said that this younger member's cultivation talent was too poor and that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could not tolerate him.

Others said that he had molested his cousin and even attempted to defile her.

That was why he had enraged the clan elders and been expelled.

Of course, there were also rumors that this younger member had done something earth-shattering in Suotuo City.

It was simply too shameful, which was why the clan could no longer tolerate him.

In any case, all kinds of versions flooded the streets, leaving countless gossipers unable to tell which explanation was correct.

At noon, the blazing sun hung high overhead, pouring scorching sunlight onto the ground.

Countless cicadas in the treetops lining both sides of the road cried one after another, "So hot, so hot..."

Wang Jingyu and Bibi Dong sat inside a carriage as they set off on the road toward Spirit City.

After finishing the last five matches that morning, Bibi Dong obtained a Golden Douluo Badge, while the others received badges matching their respective strength.

There were originally even higher-tier badges above the Golden Douluo Badge, but Bibi Dong's mission this time had only been to obtain the Golden Douluo Badge.

With the mission complete, everyone from Spirit City was eager to return home and immediately set off on the journey back to Spirit City.

Wang Jingyu had promised Bibi Dong that he would accompany her to Spirit City, and he had also grown tired of staying in Suotuo City.

Now that there was a free carriage to ride, it was practically an all-expenses-paid trip. Why would he refuse something so good?

Sitting in the carriage, he watched Bibi Dong beside him idly play with her hair.

He summoned the system and wrote in his diary.

Day N+1 since transmigrating. Clear weather, and I'm in a very good mood.

Off to Spirit City today. Farewell, Suotuo City.

Birdsong and blooming flowers along the way, with a beauty by my side. What a pleasant journey.

But then he glanced at Ju Douluo again as if possessed and continued writing irritably.

Unfortunately, that annoying bastard Ju Huaguan is sharing our carriage.

He refuses to switch to another carriage even if he dies, claiming it's for the Saintess's safety. He's truly unbearable.

I wonder if I'll run into that pathetic bastard Qian Xunji during this trip to Spirit City. If I can, I definitely have to find a way to mess with him a few times.

As one of the characters I hate most in the original novel, I'd feel a little sorry if I didn't give him a proper beating...

But he's powerful. If my scheme fails and I get dragged into trouble instead, that would be a real disaster.

Looks like I need to think this through carefully...
