Gangzi and Bibi Dong

The man with the long, narrow face was about to accept a mission when he was suddenly pushed aside by a burly man, making him both anxious and angry.

He was seething with anger and wanted to retaliate, but he was afraid he was no match for his opponent, so he could only stand there and sulk.

Just then, a man and a woman walked over; the man was handsome, and the woman was very spirited.

"Are you here to accept a mission?" Yu Mingxiao asked.

The man with the long, narrow face, unaware of the two men's identities, pointed dejectedly at the burly man in front of him. "Don't even mention it. That guy just pushed me aside, and I was afraid he'd snatch the job I wanted first."

Yu Mingxiao asked, "What kind of mission do you want to take?"

The man with the long, narrow face hesitated for a moment before saying, "Go to the Soul Hunting Forest Bala City and help the employer hunt for Soul Ring that is between four and seven hundred years old."

Yu Mingxiao said calmly, "Ling Shuang, cancel this mission and hand it over to him to contact the employer."

Ye Lingshuang said, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

After she left, Yu Mingxiao looked at the astonished man and asked, "What's your name?"

The man with the long, narrow face quickly said, "Th-thank you. My name is Flender. You two seem to be in charge here. Thank you for giving me this task."

It really was Flender. I never expected that shrewd businessman to become a mercenary here...

Yu Mingxiao inwardly grumbled, but casually said, "It's kind of fate that I entrusted this task to you. I always felt that you and my younger brother had a similar vibe."

Flender looked bewildered; they had been chatting happily just moments before, but the other person's next sentence left him completely baffled.

He remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "Sir, I have never seen your brother."

Yu Mingxiao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you haven't met him before. You might run into him sometime in the future. He looks somewhat like me, so you'll recognize him at a glance."

Flender replied politely, "It would be my honor to meet you."

Yu Mingxiao shook his head and deliberately said, "That's not necessarily true. My younger brother is cunning and he's into that Soul Master Theory. You might be fooled by him. If you do encounter him, it's best to avoid him."

Flender was taken aback, a look of surprise on his face. "There's such a thing?"

As they were talking, Ye Lingshuang led her employer over.

"Haha, so let me remind you, don't be fooled by him." Yu Mingxiao patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Sign the contract first, then head to the Soul Hunting Forest with the employer."

"Good."

Flender composed himself, silently memorized these words, and then picked up his pen to sign the employment contract.

Yu Mingxiao ignored him and turned to leave the second floor of the Mercenary Guild with Ye Lingshuang.

After talking so much with Flender, it was really just because I had nothing better to do and wanted to set a trap for Yu Xiaogang.

In the original story, Yu Xiaogang was expelled from the Spirit Hall by Qian Xunji and removed from his family. He met Flender in the Soul Master World, and it was thanks to Flender's help that he was able to avoid living a life of hardship where he didn't know where his next meal would come from.

After all, with Yu Xiaogang's level 29 Soul Power, he couldn't even defeat a 400-year-old Datura Snake. If he went to the Soul Hunting Forest alone as a wild mercenary, he wouldn't be able to make a living at all.

If Flender takes his words seriously and harbors resentment towards Yu Xiaogang, then their future encounters will be quite a spectacle.

Spirit Hall.

Ever since Qian Xunji brought Yu Xiaogang back to the Spirit Hall, she arranged for him to work as a librarian as promised, and then ignored him.

To him, Yu Xiaogang was just an insignificant nobody.

Today marks the third month since Yu Xiaogang came to the library.

He walked out of his dormitory and strolled leisurely to the Spirit Hall Library, where he resumed his usual leisurely routine.

Yu Xiaogang originally thought that the Spirit Hall contained groundbreaking theoretical books that could inspire him to write a groundbreaking theoretical masterpiece that would shake the entire Soul Master World.

He spent a whole month browsing through the library, but still couldn't find a book that appealed to him, and he was filled with disappointment.

Yu Xiaogang found a seat as usual and casually flipped through a book.

I didn't sleep well last night, and soon I started to doze off, hiding my face with a book, so almost no one noticed I was sleeping...

A moment later, a clear voice suddenly rang out. "Who are you? Why are you dozing off here?"

"Ugh... Ah!" Yu Xiaogang suddenly woke up, as if he had just escaped from a nightmare.

Seeing his appearance, the other person was speechless.

"Who... who are you?" Yu Xiaogang quickly snapped out of his daze, removed the book covering his face, and stared at the girl in front of him, instantly stunned.

Beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful.

Aside from the women he had seen around his elder brother in the past, this was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful woman.

The girl said softly, "My name is Bibi Dong, and I am a disciple of the Pope. And who are you, and why are you dozing off here?"

"Bibi Dong? The Pope's disciple?"

Yu Xiaogang's heart tightened, and a sense of inferiority welled up inside him. Nevertheless, he introduced himself, "You are the most beautiful girl from the Spirit Hall I have ever seen. My father is the Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He asked the Pope to let me work here as a librarian."

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but ask, "So you're the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan Sect Master. Do you know Yu Mingxiao? I heard he's also the son of Sect Master, and the Young Sect Master of your sect."

Yu Xiaogang felt a lump in his throat, wondering if she might be in love with his older brother. He'd finally met someone he liked, but why couldn't she escape Yu Mingxiao?

His face darkened, and he said coldly, "Why are you asking him? He's my older brother."

Bibi Dong naturally noticed the change in his tone. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she said, "You must have misunderstood something. I've only heard that he has exceptional Talent. My teacher always uses him as an example to urge me to cultivate. I believe my Talent is not bad either, and I've always wanted to find an opportunity to compete with him."

Yu Xiaogang's expression softened slightly. It turned out that she was just competitive and didn't actually have feelings for his older brother.

But then I realized that my tone had been harsh, and I didn't know how to smooth things over.

Bibi Dong seemed unwilling to speak to him anymore. She took a book from the shelf, turned around, and walked out of the library.

"Wait..." Yu Xiaogang had barely begun to speak when the girl had already walked away.

"Sigh, it's so rare to meet such a beautiful woman, and she's even a disciple of the Pope. If I could marry her, my father would be so proud of me. But she's already gone, should I go after her?"

Yu Xiaogang looked conflicted. He sat at the table for a long time, but ultimately couldn't get up and chase after them.

He still felt somewhat inferior, and even if he caught up with her, he wouldn't know what to say, and was afraid of leaving a bad impression again.

On the other side.

After leaving Bala City, Yu Mingxiao arrived at Sea God Island in the blink of an eye.

He and Bo Saixi hadn't seen each other for a long time, and naturally, some unspeakable things happened.
