Liu Erlong Had Arrived!
Yu Xiaogang was struck Bolt Strike, his body trembling violently. This was the stain on his heart that he least wanted to touch, a stain of utter cowardice!
"You ran away, you ran away from me, you ran away from my predicament."
Bibi Dong's voice was like Icicle Spear, piercing through his disguise.
"Then, who did you run into when you turned around? Your cousin—Liu Erlong!"
"Fire Dragon Martial Soul... Liu Erlong..."
Bibi Dong's voice carried an all-knowing understanding and a cold irony.
"Yu Xiaogang, do you dare to swear on your hypocritical heart, to everyone, to the heavens—"
Bibi Dong leaned forward slightly, her gaze like a sharp sword piercing straight into the depths of Yu Xiaogang's soul:
"When you first met Liu Erlong and saw her powerful Fire Dragon Martial Soul, and her intricate connections with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, did you really not know her identity?!"
No! You know perfectly well what's going on!
Bibi Dong delivered her conclusion decisively, her voice carrying the solemnity of a judge.
"You're just pretending to be ignorant! You took advantage of her status, her feelings, and the potential power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
"What do you want to do? You want to use her background to achieve your ridiculous so-called 'ideal' that you could never achieve on your own in your entire life! You want to step on her shoulders to climb back to the center stage of the Soul Master World!"
"You used her, just like you used my identity as a saintess back then!"
Bibi Dong's voice was full of disdain.
"This is your 'emotion,' Yu Xiaogang! It's full of scheming, manipulation, and cowardly escapism!"
Yu Xiaogang's face turned from deathly pale to ashen, his body trembling like a leaf in the wind, cold sweat soaking through his faded gray robe. He wanted to refute, to deny, to stubbornly refuse to admit it, but the immense panic and the irrefutable logic in Bibi Dong's words left him only able to let out a hoarse, whistling sound.
"What's even more disgusting is..."
Bibi Dong's tone was filled with undisguised contempt, as if she were describing something extremely disgusting.
"What did you do when your second uncle caught you in the act, and when that ridiculous wedding was forced to stop?!"
Bibi Dong's gaze was filled with sarcasm and disdain.
"You've run away again, Yu Xiaogang!"
"At your wedding with your cousin Liu Erlong! In front of all the guests! When Liu Erlong was overjoyed, thinking she had finally found happiness!"
Bibi Dong's voice carried a sense of indignation and sympathy for Liu Erlong.
"Once again, you've displayed your 'Grandmaster's' 'core competency'—cowardice and escapism! You've abandoned a woman again! Like discarding a piece of useless trash! This time, you abandoned your cousin! The bride you dumped at her wedding!"
"Yu Xiaogang, oh Yu Xiaogang..."
Bibi Dong's voice was filled with the meaning of final judgment. She shook her head slightly, looking at the man in front of her as if he were a lump of filthy mud.
"Tell me, which of your words is true? Which of your sincere words deserves the word 'affection'? Do I really have to spell it out for you, to lay bare your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, so everyone can see what's inside besides cowardice, hypocrisy, scheming, and selfishness?!"
Bibi Dong's rapid-fire accusations, each word like a knife, each sentence piercing the blood, stripped away the "Grandmaster" facade that Yu Xiaogang had meticulously cultivated over decades, revealing the filthy core within him: a despicable, cowardly, selfish, lying, academically plagiarizing, and emotionally betraying man!
The entire hall was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned by this shocking truth.
The gaze directed at Yu Xiaogang was filled with utter contempt and disgust, as if he were looking at a filthy Stench object.
Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded.
He collapsed to the ground, his mind blank, as if his soul had been ripped from his body.
He never expected that Bibi Dong had investigated him so thoroughly over the years!
They dug up all his shameful past and all his dark thoughts, and put them out in broad daylight to be lashed out!
No!
Absolutely not!
Cannot accept it!
Admitting it would be utterly ruined!
They will never be able to rise again!
Driven by a survival instinct, he opened his mouth and roared with all his might, attempting a final struggle to confuse the enemy:
"Slander! Bibi Dong! This is blatant slander! It's Revenge! It's Revenge for my leaving back then! You..."
However, before his hysterical rebuttal could fully escape his throat, he was abruptly interrupted by a heart-wrenching cry filled with despair, hopelessness, and raging fury!
"Waaaaah!!!"
The cry was so sharp and so sorrowful, like Roxanne crying blood, that it instantly shattered the deathly silence of the banquet hall!
Whoosh--!
All eyes, as if drawn by invisible threads, were fixed on the heavy entrance to the hall, which was now slightly ajar!
A figure stood in the swaying light and shadow of the doorway.
She wore a bright red dress, clearly dressed up carefully, as if she had been looking forward to a wonderful evening.
Her long, black hair was styled into an updo, adorned with a slightly worn yet exquisite phoenix hairpin.
However, at this moment, her carefully applied makeup had been completely washed away by the torrent of tears, her eyeliner smudged, resembling two dark streaks of despair. Her body was trembling violently, and she barely managed to stay upright by leaning against the door frame.
Her right hand was tightly clutching a piece of dark red silk, full of wrinkles—clearly the red silk used in weddings!
The person who arrived was none other than Liu Erlong!
I don't know when she arrived, or how long she'd been standing at the door.
But judging from her devastated expression and the red silk she was clutching tightly, it was clear that Bibi Dong's accusation against Yu Xiaogang for running away from the wedding was like a red-hot iron, burning her unhealed wounds!
Yu Xiaogang froze instantly, as if doused with ice water! With difficulty, like a rusty machine, he slowly turned his head, and when he saw the figure in the doorway, tears streaming down his face, yet his eyes burning with a fierce fire—
His pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints!
"... Two... Erlong?!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice was distorted and filled with unbelievable, immense terror!
It's over!
Everything is over!
His most shameful and buried past, the ultimate stain of his abandoning Liu Erlong, was exposed in public by Bibi Dong, and even Liu Erlong herself heard it?!
Liu Erlong did not respond to Yu Xiaogang's terrified cry.
Her gaze, passing over the slumped Yu Xiaogang on the ground, was like two burning flames, fixed firmly on the main seat, on the noble and majestic Bibi Dong, whose purple-gold crown shone brightly!
Her eyes were filled with extreme grief, a humiliating sense of being torn apart, and an anger at having her wounds reopened by a third party!
"Why..."
Liu Erlong's voice was hoarse and broken, filled with heavy sobs, each word sounding like it was uttered with blood.
"Bibi Dong! Why are you saying these things here?! What right do you have... what right do you have to tear open my scars and show them to everyone?!"
