Shameless and Brazen, How Can Such a Person Go On Living?

"Then... shall we meet him?" Ye Qingcang Yu Yuanzhen experienced Yu Xiaogang's methods firsthand, and he also knew Yu Yuanzhen. Therefore, whether Yu Xiaogang was alive or dead was not within Yu Yuanzhen's consideration. He turned his head, waved to the young man waiting for orders at the door, and signaled, "Summon Yu Xiaogang and the others to an audience."

Yu Yuanzhen has more than one son.

She also has more than one daughter.

Actually, if Yu Luomian's lower body were fine, he would have had many children and grandchildren by now, as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is known for its lustful nature.

It may also be related to the idea that "dragons are inherently lustful".

Abandoning a good-for-nothing son.

To avoid implicating oneself.

This was a perfectly normal procedure for Yu Yuanzhen.

There was none of the reluctance that a normal person might imagine.

"Yes!" Seeing Yu Yuanzhen give such an order, Ye Qingcang and the other elders in the hall did not object. The young man standing at the door immediately understood, clasped his hands, accepted the order, and closed the hall door.

Immediately, he turned around and turned back.

They ran towards the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain.

Before long, they reached the foot of the mountain.

Upon seeing Yu Xiaogang, who was being held back outside the mountain gate, looking arrogant and accompanied by more than a dozen Clear Sky Sect disciples, his imposing manner suggesting he was seeking revenge rather than visiting, the elder said, "The clan leader and the Great Elder have ordered that Yu Xiaogang and his party be summoned for an audience; A Hao, let them in!"

Only then did the young man who had blocked Yu Xiaogang at the door nod.

He waved without turning his head.

Behind him, the group of young men gradually dispersed.

They cleared the way for people to enter.

"Follow me!" Only after the team members behind him had dispersed did the young man called "A Hao" turn around, point to the mountain path behind him, and say coldly, "Gentlemen, I advise you all to behave yourselves!"

The conflict between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall is common knowledge.

Currently, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Spirit Hall are allies, and there are some cooperative matters between them. As a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, he is very clear about his position and attitude.

Not to mention, the envoy from the Clear Sky Sect was Yu Xiaogang, a disgrace to his clan.

If Yu Xiaogang weren't Yu Xiaogang Yu Yuanzhen's biological son, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would have executed him long ago, based on the mistakes he made.

Although being expelled from the family genealogy is a severe punishment, meaning one cannot be buried in the ancestral grave after death and is not qualified to worship ancestors, at least the person expelled from the genealogy is still alive. Even if they are a wandering ghost, it is still better than being dead. Moreover, no one forbids them from having weddings or funerals.

At worst, I can find a wife and have a few more kids.

Just take care of yourself in your old age and see you off when you die.

Yu Xiaogang also noticed the young man's lukewarm attitude. His stiff, expressionless face betrayed his deep humiliation. He secretly vowed, "Father is truly senile, sending a bunch of short-sighted fools to guard the gate... How can sparrows understand the ambitions of a swan? Once I persuade Father to form an alliance with the Clear Sky Sect, you will all realize that Soul Power cannot determine everything, and wisdom is also a form of power!"

With this in mind, Yu Xiaogang quickly immersed himself in his own world.

It is both a comedy and a tragedy.

Comedy is comedy in the eyes of others. In the eyes of others, Yu Xiaogang, who is immersed in his own world, is quite comical. He smiles from time to time, but no one knows what he is laughing at. He seems a bit crazy.

The tragedy refers to Yu Xiaogang's own tragedy. If he hadn't been denied praise, looked down upon, or criticized, why would he have immersed himself in his own world seeking peace, propping up his fragile heart, and pretending not to hear anything?

A combination of comedy and tragedy.

This makes the false excuses seem all the more pathetic and ridiculous.

Perhaps wisdom is indeed power.

But Soul Power, being a form of power, can truly determine everything.

Thus, the Clear Sky Sect group could only awkwardly follow Yu Xiaogang, who was immersed in his own world, to the front of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's palace, with no topics to discuss along the way.

The moment I saw the palace gate.

These Clear Sky Sect disciples actually breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, this dissatisfaction with the pressure was transformed into dissatisfaction with Yu Xiaogang, since Yu Xiaogang was the chief envoy for this mission.

Also called team leader.

This is Yu Xiaogang's dereliction of duty.

That's what put them in such a passive position.

However, these disciples of the Clear Sky Sect were quite sensible. They didn't argue with Yu Xiaogang at this critical juncture, nor did they intend to hold Yu Xiaogang responsible. They quickly tidied their clothes and adjusted their appearance, entering the hall in the most appropriate manner.

But when it comes to disappointing people, Yu Xiaogang never disappoints!

"Ye, Qing, Cang?" As the instigator, Yu Xiaogang was naturally at the forefront. But precisely because of this, the moment he entered the hall, he immediately saw Ye Qingcang Yu Xiaogang sitting in the main seat, and Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian sitting to Ye Qingcang's left and right. His body trembled violently, and his voice jumped eight levels, startling the Clear Sky Sect members who had just prepared. They all glared angrily at Yu Xiaogang. Although Yu Xiaogang completely unaware, he still questioned Ye Qingcang, "How come you're here... and sitting in that position?"

Seeing this, the Clear Sky Sect group was also dumbfounded.

Newcomers who didn't participate in the alliance of the Three Upper Sects against the Spirit Hall more than ten years ago wouldn't know who Yu Yuanzhen was. As for distinguishing them by age, that's utter nonsense. Title Douluo in Dou One I are not the same as those in Douluo Dou Two. Title Douluo in Dou One I start at three hundred years old. For each level above Super Douluo, they gain an additional hundred years of lifespan. Limit Douluo like Tang Chen, Bo Saixi, Qian Daoliu, Bibidong have lifespans exceeding a thousand years, which is incomparable to Limit Douluo in Dou Two who can only live for two or three hundred years.

Appearance is determined by the proportion of one's current lifespan.

For Yu Yuanzhen, whose lifespan is as long as five hundred years.

One hundred years old is only one-fifth of his life.

For a normal person, that's equivalent to twenty years old.

Ye Qingcang also has a rather calm and composed demeanor.

The two sat together, and anyone who had never seen Yu Yuanzhen before wouldn't dare to mistake him for someone else.

The elders who participated in the alliance of the Three Upper Sects against the Spirit Hall more than ten years ago knew who Yu Yuanzhen was. However, even if Yu Yuanzhen himself had no objection, allowing a stranger they didn't know to sit on the throne symbolizing the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, there must be some shady dealings they didn't know about. It wasn't appropriate to ask too many questions. Just say to you, Yu Xiaogang: Do you even have a brain? Is your tone questioning someone?

We're here to form an alliance!

I'm not here to make enemies!

We know you are Yu Yuanzhen's son, but your current identity is that of an envoy of our Clear Sky Sect. You need to understand your own identity!

So, before Yu Xiaogang could continue asking questions, and before Yu Yuanzhen could reprimand him, the deputy envoy who had been standing behind Yu Xiaogang stepped forward to smooth things over, suppressing his humiliation at losing face. "To be honest, this person has no experience visiting or serving as an envoy to other sects. This is his first time. If he has said anything inappropriate, please forgive him... And please don't misunderstand, our Clear Sky Sect has come here with absolutely good intentions!"

Ye Qingcang remained silent.

It seems they didn't hear it.

He looked Yu Xiaogang up and down, his guard down.

Seeing that Ye Qingcang remained silent, Yu Luomian, who was closest to Ye Qingcang, also kept quiet. Yu Yuanzhen, who had originally wanted to sever ties, was even less likely to speak. Nan Shuishui had personally heard Ye Qingcang's analysis of the Gods' thoughts. On the one hand, she was flattered by Ye Qingcang's act of treating her like an outsider, and on the other hand, she was also frightened by Ye Qingcang's clear overall perspective. Her loyalty to Ye Qingcang was immediately maxed out, and for now, she would definitely remain silent like Ye Qingcang.

The same was true for the other elders.

Although the change from "head of the family" to "elder," and then from "elder" to "lineage master," sounds like a significant reduction in power, transforming them from those in charge to subordinates of the clan leader, when Yu Yuanzhen was still the clan leader, these nominally "heads of the family" were essentially no different from subordinates. Now, it's just a change in title; not only does the family tree have its own page, but they also have the qualifications to compete for the clan leader position. Although they certainly won't need them, their descendants might. Moreover, Ye Qingcang has proposed building the Dragon Blood Pool, so they are definitely on Ye Qingcang's side.

To put it another way: Yu Yuanzhen, Yu's biological father, doesn't help his own son Yu Xiaogang, why should these blood relatives take the risk?

While everyone remained silent, Ye Qingcang's control over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had already left a concrete and profound impression on the mind of this deputy envoy of the Clear Sky Sect.

It felt like being in the dark, lightless ocean.

That suffocating feeling, that pressure.

It only lasted three or four seconds.

This made the deputy envoy of the Clear Sky Sect break out in a cold sweat.

Their anger towards Yu Xiaogang reached its extreme.

"No need to be nervous." Ye Qingcang casually surveyed the group of the Clear Sky Sect disciples. Within three or four seconds, no one dared to meet his gaze, except for Yu Xiaogang, a fool blinded by rage. "Yu Xiaogang, on what basis are you questioning me... in your personal capacity, or on behalf of the Clear Sky Sect?"

"If it were a person, I don't think I would need to answer a question from a level 29 Soul Grandmaster. Moreover, a level 29 Soul Grandmaster has no right to question a level 50 Soul King." Ye Qingcang continued, posing a dilemma to Yu Xiaogang: "If you are questioning me on behalf of the Clear Sky Sect, then I think the Clear Sky Sect didn't come with good intentions, right?"

"Personal!" the deputy envoy of the Clear Sky Sect whispered.

This is not an answer to Ye Qingcang's question.

Ye Qingcang didn't ask him either.

This is a reminder to Yu Xiaogang on how to respond.

Or rather, Yu Xiaogang was ordered to answer in this way.

As an envoy, one must always put the interests of the majority above one's own. This is the code of conduct for an envoy. As one of the few professionals within the Clear Sky Sect, this deputy envoy of the Clear Sky Sect knew very well that if Yu Xiaogang's rude behavior was associated with the Clear Sky Sect, no matter what the subsequent negotiations were, they would basically fall through. Therefore, Yu Xiaogang had to take the blame. Fortunately, this was a mistake made by Yu Xiaogang himself.

Making Yu Xiaogang take the blame is what he deserves.

What can Yu Xiaogang do?

"For the mistress, for myself..." Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth fiercely, struggling with himself for a moment before finally convincing himself. His resentment intensified, and he lowered his head, not daring to reveal his twisted expression. Although everyone present had good eyesight, Yu Xiaogang thought he could deceive everyone, but in reality, he could only deceive himself. "It's... it's... I'm questioning you in my personal capacity... as the former clan chief's biological son!"

"Wait a minute." Yu Yuanzhen quickly raised his hand, not wanting to take the blame. He decisively cut ties, saying, "I need to clarify something. Although we are indeed father and son by blood—I am the father and he is the son—he was expelled from the family long ago, and his name has been removed from the family genealogy. Therefore, I have no relation to him whatsoever. Furthermore, our clan has a tradition of duels, and the clan chief defeated me honorably. I have no complaints whatsoever!"

Yu Xiaogang was speechless.

His already pale face became even more unsightly, making him look like a dead person.

First, Clear Sky Sect betrayed him.

Later, his biological father refused to acknowledge him.

"What kind of spell did he cast on you?" A person blinded by anger often goes to extremes, either giving up entirely or enduring humiliation. Yu Xiaogang was clearly not the latter. Breaking down, he pointed at Ye Qingcang like a shrew, loudly questioning everyone. "Have you seen his true colors? Do you know what kind of despicable person he is? He's clearly targeting me on purpose, didn't you see?"

"Whether you see it or not, what difference does it make?"

"Choose you?"

"Do I trust you?"

"Abandon me and go to Tang San?"

What will the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan gain?

"Would you want a superficial promise?"

Ye Qingcang's words struck a chord with everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan: "Is it better to believe someone who betrays the family's interests, lacks responsibility, is easily angered, has poor judgment, thinks others look down on them but never looks for problems within themselves, and only seeks personal wealth and glory, or to believe someone who keeps their word, even if that person's promises are few... I think, for anyone, this is a question that doesn't need an answer. What do you all think, members of the Clear Sky Sect?"

"You... you... you're distorting the truth!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes blazed with fury. It seemed that if he weren't weak, he would have rushed up and attacked Ye Qingcang to the point of tearing him apart. "What makes you say that I betrayed my family's interests, lacked responsibility, and had poor judgment...?"

"Take a look."

"You can't even speak clearly."

"Perhaps I can add a little something at the end."

"He's not good at speaking."

Ye Qingcang made a joke to himself, but his tone instantly turned serious, sharp and forceful, like the clash of metal, resounding with conviction. "The optimal Soul Ring Configuration has always been an unspoken secret among many sects. You revealed this secret to the public without permission. Of course, the world will praise your selflessness, but other sects' views on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will obviously be affected, because your actions have deprived them of their monopoly on certain knowledge. As a man, after breaking up with Bibidong the first time, and with my adoptive mother Liu Erlong the second time, you not only failed to stand up and give the world a clear explanation, but instead went to live in seclusion in a remote town, leaving two girls to bear the world's criticism. It's really hard to imagine what it means to be responsible. You keep saying... there are no useless Martial Soul, only useless Soul Master. Then, please tell me, you useless Soul Master, is it your Martial Soul soul that's useless, or are you useless?"

"You!"

"You!"

"You!"

Yu Xiaogang's face turned red.

The finger pointing at Ye Qingcang trembled slightly.

"What do you mean, 'you'?" Ye Qingcang sneered, calmly delivering the final blow. "Shameless scoundrel, what face do you have to live in this world!"

"Puff!"

Overwhelmed with rage, Yu Xiaogang coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His face turned ashen, and he fell backward.

Everything went black, and he immediately fainted.
