"Teacher!"
When Tang San and the others saw Yu Xiaogang struck by lightning, they hurried over to check on him.
Oh, my god!
So questioning the Sky Screen actually got you punished.
Looks like it was real!
"Uh, I'm fine. My body's just a little numb!"
"Xiao San, did it ruin my face? I'm still handsome, right?"
"If I were disfigured, Erlong and Dong'er would be heartbroken!"
Yu Xiaogang waved a hand, coughed out black smoke, and struggled to his feet.
"Teacher, you're not disfigured. You've just turned black!"
"Why don't you go wash up?"
Tang San stifled a laugh. He couldn't bear looking at Yu Xiaogang's current appearance.
"Hahaha, Grandmaster, you're even more handsome than before!"
Ma Hongjun had the weakest sense of humor and couldn't hold it in any longer.
"More handsome?"
"That's good, then. I'll wash up after the ranking is over!"
"As long as it doesn't diminish my dazzling handsomeness!"
Yu Xiaogang didn't want to miss his chance to make the ranking. He was determined to hold out until the end.
"What? What right does that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang have to question the Sky Screen!"
"My Duan Lang is firmly at the top. There's no doubt about it!"
He deserved that divine punishment!
In Bibi Dong's heart, Duan Changsheng was the only one for her.
Yu Xiaogang had dared to question her Duan Lang's place at the top. He must have been blind!
"Yu Xiaogang, you annoying fool!"
"What right do you have to question my Sheng-ge? If I ever catch you, I'll turn you into a eunuch!"
Liu Erlong's temper flared in an instant. She wished she could drag Yu Xiaogang over and give him a thorough beating.
"What is that rebellious son Xiaogang doing!"
"He dares question the Sky Screen?"
"Please don't let him drag the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect into this!"
Yu Yuanzhen feared that Yu Xiaogang's mistake would bring the whole family down with him.
Making an enemy of the Sky Screen was making an enemy of the gods.
What was he thinking? Did he even have a brain!
[Love Saint Ranking, TOP 4: Bibi Dong.]
[This woman endured humiliation for love. Her devotion was unwavering, unmatched by anyone!]
As soon as Bibi Dong appeared on the ranking, everyone on Douluo Continent erupted.
Who didn't know Bibi Dong, the goddess-like Pope of Spirit Hall who could captivate countless men?
And who could have guessed that Bibi Dong had endured humiliation!
Had her life been miserable before she became Pope?
Could it be true?
Could Qian Xunji have done something to Bibi Dong?
At that very moment, every man who adored Bibi Dong cursed the dead Qian Xunji thousands upon thousands of times.
Even Qian Daoliu was cursed countless times along with him.
The Sky Screen couldn't be wrong. The only explanation was some dark secret within Spirit Hall.
"Duan Lang, did you see that?"
"I made the ranking. This is how much I love you!"
Bibi Dong wasn't focused on the words "endured humiliation." Her thoughts were on how much she missed Duan Changsheng.
She believed that when Duan Changsheng saw her name, he would surely be moved.
"Dong'er made the ranking!"
"I knew it. The one she loves must be me!"
"She suffered so much for my sake!"
"Dong'er, wait for me!"
"Your Gangzi is coming to find you right now!"
Yu Xiaogang jumped up in excitement, wishing he could appear in front of Bibi Dong that very moment.
Seeing how impatient he was, Tang San hurriedly pulled him back. "Teacher, don't be rash. What if it's a misunderstanding?"
He thought that someone as proud as Bibi Dong probably wouldn't be interested in his teacher!
"Xiao San, shut up! Dong'er loves me!"
"I'm the one she loves most. If you try to stop me again, I'll expel you from my school!"
Yu Xiaogang flew into a rage, nearly breaking off his relationship with Tang San.
Tang San was stunned by his outburst!
Hadn't Yu Xiaogang been the one to seek him out and beg him to become his disciple?
Why was he acting as if Tang San had clung to him?
"Grandmaster, calm down!"
"Even if you're going to find the Pope of Spirit Hall, shouldn't you wait until the ranking has been announced?"
"What if your name appears later?"
"Wouldn't you miss it?"
"She's not going anywhere. You can visit her whenever you like!"
Xiao Wu didn't want to see Tang San expelled from his school, so she hurried over to explain, nailing exactly what he was thinking.
"Xiao Wu is right. No need to rush!"
Yu Xiaogang thought she made sense and finally calmed down.
"Why did she have to endure humiliation?"
"I remember Dad treated her pretty well!"
"I'm the one who should have had to endure humiliation."
"Ever since I was little, she's never once looked at me kindly."
"But how could the Sky Screen be wrong?"
"Could there be something I don't know about?"
Far away in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Qian Renxue began to doubt what she knew about Bibi Dong's past.
If she got the chance, she would definitely go back and investigate.
Perhaps she could uncover the real reason Bibi Dong hated her.
"Ah, it seems Bibi Dong still hasn't forgotten that old lover!"
"Ji'er, the mistake you made all those years ago may not stay hidden much longer!"
Qian Daoliu sighed helplessly, racking his brains over how to explain it to Qian Renxue.
Those words, "endured humiliation," would surely catch her attention.
[Love Saint Ranking, TOP 5: Liu Erlong.]
[This woman loved deeply and remained true until death. She spent twenty years alone for love, never wavering in her devotion!]
"Erlong, so you waited for me for twenty years!"
"If I'd known you loved me so much, why did you reject me back then?"
"No, I understand now!"
"You were testing how sincere I was!"
"It's all my fault. I failed to understand what you meant!"
"Erlong, wait for me. I'll find you and take you and Dong'er with me to roam the world!"
Yu Xiaogang wept with emotion!
Twenty years ago wasn't that when he confessed his feelings to Liu Erlong?
If he'd figured out what Liu Erlong felt sooner, he wouldn't have made her wait twenty years.
Tang San and the others looked at Yu Xiaogang's tear-streaked face and could only smile wryly!
Where had he gotten the confidence to assume he'd make the Love Saint Ranking?
What kind of love saint was he? He was nothing but a scumbag.
What kind of love saint wanted two people at the same time?
Only now did Tang San and the others realize just how thick-skinned and conceited Yu Xiaogang was.
If Yu Xiaogang had a handsome face, they might have bought it.
But he wasn't handsome, and he was a good-for-nothing to boot. The only thing he knew was theory.
Forget who Liu Erlong was. Would the Pope of Spirit Hall really have him on her mind?
That was absurd!
They seriously suspected Yu Xiaogang was just fantasizing.
"I can't believe Yuehua, Xixi, Dongdong, and Longlong all made the ranking!"
"I'm sure you've all found the people you love!"
"As your former boyfriend, I sincerely hope you'll live the good lives you want. I hope every day with your partners is happy and fulfilling."
Seeing several of his ex-girlfriends on the ranking, Duan Changsheng couldn't help sighing with feeling. He sincerely prayed for their happiness, never once imagining their longing had anything to do with him.
In his subconscious, Tang Yuehua, Bo Saixi, Bibi Dong, and Liu Erlong had all parted with him on good terms. There were no lingering entanglements between them.
Since they'd parted amicably, there had been no deception or playing with anyone's feelings. They had simply each gotten what they wanted.
Because every relationship he'd had had been sincere.
"Dad, stop watching and come eat!"
"Can't you just listen?"
"Honestly, women are the ones who value love most."
"Look, four of the top five on the Love Saint Ranking are sentimental women."
"I wonder who the men they love are. They must be so happy!"
Wang Yuyan had set out the dishes, lit the candles, and poured the red wine.
It wasn't dark yet, but there was no harm in setting a celebratory mood.
"All right, let's eat. There's nothing worth watching anyway!"
"No matter what happens, nothing's more important than eating a meal my daughter made herself."
