This Secret-Were They Even Allowed to Hear It?

The clothes in Yu Xiaogang's arms suddenly burst open!

A token shimmering with dark gold, engraved with the Spirit Hall emblem and intricate patterns, seemed to be forcibly pulled from his closest pocket by an invisible hand!

Whoosh!

The token, representing Yu Xiaogang's last refuge, transformed into a stream of light and landed steadily and obediently in Bibi Dong's outstretched palm.

The whole process was incredibly fast!

Yu Xiaogang didn't even have time to react, let alone resist!

He felt an irresistible force yank him from his arms, and the life-saving talisman was gone!

Bibi Dong's slender, fair fingers gently pinched the token that she had once bestowed upon her, yet now seemed to bear endless filth.

For the first time, her gaze finally and truly landed on Yu Xiaogang's face.

His eyes were calm and still, as deep as a black hole in the universe, without any anger, Spite, disdain, or even any emotional fluctuation.

There is only a pure, indifferent gaze upon the dust, an absolute coldness as one looks at a piece of trash, a completely unrelated stranger, or a filthy object that needs to be cleaned up.

That look was a thousand times more terrifying than any vicious curse or Lin Xia's sharp interrogation!

It definitively declared that in Bibi Dong's heart, the name Yu Xiaogang, along with everything about him, had long been completely erased, leaving not even a trace.

Past friendships?

They had long since rotted into dust through betrayal, exploitation, and the passage of time.

The token she bestowed?

It was just a mistake, and now she will personally take it back and erase it.

"This token is granted by my permission."

Bibi Dong's voice was as clear as a cold spring striking jade, reaching every corner.

"Today, I will personally take it back."

Bibi Dong applied slight pressure with her fingertips.

Click!

A crisp cracking sound rang out like a thunderclap in the deathly silent hall!

The dark gold token, symbolizing the status of an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall, shattered into several dull fragments in Bibi Dong's fair and slender fingers, like fragile glass!

Broken metal fragments spilled from between her fingers, clattering and falling to the floor with a crisp, piercing sound.

"The Spirit Hall cannot tolerate any blemishes."

Bibi Dong's voice remained calm and composed, as if she were simply stating a fact.

She didn't even glance at the fragments again, turning her gaze to Lin Xia beside her. In the depths of her cold purple eyes, an indescribable tenderness and entrustment once more flashed.

"The words of the Holy Son Lin Xia are my own."

Her voice carried the final Judgment.

"The matters concerning the Heaven Dou shall be handled entirely by the Holy Son."

Having said that, Bibi Dong didn't linger.

She didn't even spare a glance for Yu Xiaogang, who was slumped on the ground, his eyes completely vacant and lifeless, as if he had lost his soul.

The wide black cloak traced a cold arc as she turned.

Bibi Dong didn't look at anyone again. Amidst the extremely awe-inspiring and even unbearable gazes of everyone, she turned around and tried to leave!

Yu Xiaogang watched helplessly as the token, symbolizing his last refuge and past affection, turned to dust between Bibi Dong's fingers, just like his life and dignity that had completely collapsed at that moment.

The crisp cracking sound was like a red-hot branding iron, extinguishing his last shred of hope.

Bibi Dong's departing figure carried the resolute determination to sever all ties with the past, signifying that Yu Xiaogang would henceforth be completely exposed to the wrath of the Spirit Hall and the scorn of the entire Soul Master World, with no one left to rely on!

"No! It can't end like this!"

An unprecedented, agonizing panic gripped Yu Xiaogang's soul in an instant.

Fear overwhelmed reason and drowned out humiliation, leaving only a frantic will to survive screaming.

Bibi Dong was the only, last straw he could grasp!

She can't leave!

Absolutely not!

"Dong--er--!!!"

A shrill, distorted scream, like the wail of a dying beast, suddenly ripped through the deathly silence of the banquet hall!

This cry was filled with despair, resentment, and pleading, and it also carried a sense of transgression, Sheer Force awakening past intimacy.

He uttered that long-forgotten title, filled with endless complex emotions, in a state of near collapse.

"Have you forgotten the feelings we once had?! Dong'er!"

Yu Xiaogang, tears streaming down his face, crawled forward a few steps, completely disregarding his image. His face, stained with blood and dust, was a mixture of tears and sweat, making him look utterly wretched. His voice was hoarse and broken, tinged with sobs.

"Look at me! Look at me now! How could you become so cold-hearted! How could you bear to watch me... watch me be trampled on and tormented like this?! Dong'er! Save me! Help me! Forget about our past relationship!!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

In an instant, the entire banquet hall fell into a deathly silence even more eerie and terrifying Bibi Dong had appeared!

Immediately following was the sound of countless hearts suddenly stopping and then pounding wildly!

Everyone felt as if they had been struck hard on the top of their heads by an invisible giant hammer!

The air froze completely!

Time seemed to freeze!

Qian Renxue's gentle smile froze instantly, and an undisguised chilling killing intent and incredulous anger erupted from the depths of her eyes!

Her knuckles turned white instantly as she gripped the wine glass, the nectar swirling silently within.

Lin Xia's pupils suddenly contracted, and a violent aura almost burst out of his body. Sensing its master's anger, Venusaur roared, and the huge flower on its back instantly turned crimson, exuding a surging life force and a chilling killing intent!

Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and the others looked like they'd seen a ghost!

The three members of the teaching committee of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, Zhilin, were as if petrified in an instant!

Cold sweat instantly soaked their backs! They wished they were deaf! Blind!

My inner voice screamed wildly.

"It's over! It's over! I heard things I shouldn't have heard! I saw things I shouldn't have seen! Will I even be able to walk out of here alive today?!"

Without exception, all the nobles, scholars, and servants present were frozen in place!

They lowered their heads so low they wanted to bury them in the floor, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

Some of the more timid even experienced blurred vision, weak legs, and nearly collapsed to the ground.

The entire hall was filled with a suffocating sense of fear and absurdity!

Pope Bibi Dong... how dare... Yu Xiaogang address her like that?!

He even publicly recounted his past relationship!

This is even more shocking than Titled Douluo Self-Destruct!

More terrifying than a god descending! This isn't just an explosion; it's like the sky has been ripped open!

The souls of everyone are screaming.

Why do we need ears?!

Why are you here?!

Could they possibly hear such a secret, such a secret that could unleash a massive upheaval across the continent?!
