Shock, a Melodramatic Script in Reality!

"Yu Xiaogang, you cannot marry her!"

The person who had arrived was none other than the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Yu Luomian.

Yu Xiaogang frowned. "Why? Second Uncle, Erlong is the woman I love. Why can I not marry her?"

Liu Erlong also demanded angrily, "Who are you? By what right do you interfere in our affairs!"

Yu Luomian sneered and dropped a cruel truth: "By the right that she is my daughter! Liu Erlong, given your lineage, how can you two be wed?"

"What?!" Yu Xiaogang's face turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Impossible... This is impossible!"

Liu Erlong also froze in place, the flowers in her hand slipping to the ground, unnoticed.

"You say... I am your daughter? And Xiaogang and I..."

The scene froze on their faces, etched with shock, bewilderment, and agony.

[Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: No way... This is too melodramatic!]

[I Am Not Yanzi: Finding out on your wedding day that you're... Melodrama +1]

[Begonia Blossoms: How miserable~]

[No Petting Cats: A tragedy.]

Even the usually taciturn Zhu Zhuqing could not help but post two words.

[First Cute Bunny: Heavens! How could it be like this...]

[Fire-Breathing Dragon: ...]

Liu Erlong bit her lip until it bled, her nails digging deep into her palms. That day was the day she fell from heaven into hell.

[Most Beautiful Pope: Heh, so that's how it is. This truly is the best touchstone for testing human nature.]

Bibi Dong's tone remained calm, but the mockery in her words was unmistakable.

Before Liu Erlong could retaliate, a third video was released by Ye Qiong.

[Ding! Group Owner "Face-Tanking Ultimate" has uploaded the video file The Separation of the Golden Iron Triangle]

On their wedding night, inside a private chamber.

Yu Xiaogang looked pained and conflicted.

"Xiaogang..."

Liu Erlong's eyes were red-rimmed as she gripped his arm tightly.

"Even if that is the case, so what? I don't care about the eyes of the world!"

Yu Xiaogang, however, shoved her away abruptly.

"No! Erlong, we cannot do this! We will be spurned by the entire Spirit Master world! I cannot let you suffer such humiliation because of me!"

"I'm not afraid!" Liu Erlong cried out. "I only want to be with you!"

"But I am afraid!"

Yu Xiaogang roared, "I have already been spurned by the family once; I cannot become the laughingstock of the entire Spirit Master world! Besides... Flender loves you too. He can give you more happiness than I ever could. You will be better off with him than with me!"

"You bastard!"

Liu Erlong was stunned, then immediately overcome with rage. "The one I love is you, not Flender! How can you say such things!"

Yu Xiaogang closed his eyes, steeling his heart. "My mind is made up."

That night, Yu Xiaogang left a letter behind. It read: "Erlong, forgive my cowardice. The world will not tolerate us. Let go. Find someone who can give you stability and live a good life. Do not miss me."

The video ended with Liu Erlong's heart-wrenching screams in the empty wedding chamber: "Yu Xiaogang! You coward! Come back here!"

In the nearly twenty years that followed, she established the Blue Tyrant Academy alone, pouring all her energy into it, yet in the dead of night, she would always weep silently over Yu Xiaogang's old belongings.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang hid away at Notting Academy, wallowing in his own misery, never once looking back.

[Face-Tanking Ultimate: Alright, the story is finished.]

[Face-Tanking Ultimate: Now, allow me to provide a sharp critique for everyone.]

[Face-Tanking Ultimate: You three, that mess from twenty years ago, to put it bluntly—]

[Face-Tanking Ultimate: Yu Xiaogang is nothing but a calculating miser!]

[Face-Tanking Ultimate: All that talk about being looked down upon by his family, the genius with a mutated spirit falling from grace—it was all just setup! Once he met you, Liu Erlong, the ledger in his head was balanced: top-tier combat power, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon bloodline, and completely devoted to him.]

[Face-Tanking Ultimate: This isn't love; it's the most successful venture capital investment of his life! But then he finds out at the wedding that... Haha, this is what you call an "investment default"! He didn't run away overnight because of a broken heart; he did it to cut his losses! He wasn't afraid of the relationship; he was afraid that this scandal would make him a laughingstock forever, preventing him from ever making a name for himself in the Spirit Master world! He used your pain as a stepping stone for himself, understand?]

[I Am Not Swallow: 666! The Group Owner's critique is spot on!]

Face-Tanking Ultimate: You, Liu Erlong, are nothing but a drama queen moved by your own performance!

Face-Tanking Ultimate: Waiting twenty years? Bah! You're just casting a golden statue of yourself! You renamed the academy "Blue Tyrant" just so the whole world would know.

Face-Tanking Ultimate: You aren't waiting for the man himself; you're waiting for him to kneel before you in repentance so that your twenty years of "devotion" can be cashed in with interest! This isn't love at all; it's a meticulously planned emotional kidnapping, and the ransom is Yu Xiaogang's guilt! You've turned yourself into a monument of chastity, not for his sake, but to stand on the moral high ground—forever righteous, forever pitiful, and forever able to righteously accuse and control him!

Pagoda Suppresses River Demon: +1! Instantly enlightened!

Face-Tanking Ultimate: As for Flender, he's the most devious of the three!

Face-Tanking Ultimate: What's with the act of the deep-feeling big brother? Voluntarily stepping aside at the wedding and even officiating it? Let me tell you, that's called cashing out at the top! He clearly lost his investment in the stock of love, so he immediately shorted it and switched to trading in "brotherly loyalty" and "the heart of sacrifice"! He made a killing on this! From then on, you, Liu Erlong, owe him a debt of "protection," and Yu Xiaogang owes him for the "benevolence of not seeking revenge for a stolen wife." He didn't lose a single tangible benefit; he gained two massive favors for free and secured his seat as the referee of your trio! His silence isn't pain—it's enjoyment! Enjoying that you both owe him, enjoying the feeling of being forever correct and forever noble!

Face-Tanking Ultimate: The three of you, each one is better at calculating than the last!

Face-Tanking Ultimate: One calculates the future, one calculates moral capital, and one calculates emotional debt. What Golden Iron Triangle? I see a chain of burning ships! Using guilt, indebtedness, and self-righteous devotion to lock three people onto a sinking wreck, where no one can be happy, yet everyone thinks they are so noble and tragic!

Ye Qiong's sharp critique exploded in the group chat like a series of thunderclaps.

The entire chat fell deathly silent.

Everyone was stunned by this spicy, explicit, and soul-piercing analysis.
