Invitation to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well (2)

Invitation to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well (2)

This time, however, Liu Erlong did not disappoint!

People only believed the truth they saw with their own eyes!

As Yu Xiaogang moved toward Ye Qingcang, Liu Erlong—who had been watching Ye Qingcang, wanting to apologize to him and mend their mother-son relationship—noticed it.

Sensing that something was wrong, she followed after him.

She heard the entire argument between Yu Xiaogang and Xiao Wu from start to finish.

Shui Feng and the others also noticed the commotion.

Mainly because there were too many mysteries surrounding Ye Qingcang. Ye Qingcang himself possessed too many miraculous methods and unknown identities, so most people had been more or less observing him.

Except for a few simps.

Like Feng Xiaotian, who was diligently simping for Huo Wu.

Or Yan, who was diligently simping for Hu Liena.

However, Shui Feng was clever. She immediately stopped Huo Lie, Feng Wuji, Shui Yue'er, Huo Wu, and the others who wanted to go over and watch the show, signaling for them to give Liu Erlong some privacy and stay calm.

At the same time, she silently prayed for Liu Erlong.

She hoped Liu Erlong would not lose her head this time.

In truth, even without Shui Feng's blessing, Liu Erlong would not lose her head. Beneath that voluptuous, fair body lay the heart of a fire dragon. Her explosive temper had seeped into her bones. An eighty-fourth-rank opponent against a twenty-ninth-rank one—she reached out, grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the shoulder, and yanked him in front of her, turning him from facing Ye Qingcang to facing herself.

"You know my temper, Yu Xiaogang!" Liu Erlong held back her fury. She did not shout, but her low voice, paired with her black pupils now lit with flames, still placed immense pressure on Yu Xiaogang. "Now. Immediately. Get back where you belong. Don't force me to make a move. Do you understand?"

"You..." Yu Xiaogang raised his hand and pointed at Liu Erlong's nose. He had thought he could still put on a show of authority, but Liu Erlong did not play fair. With a lightning-fast grab and a shake, Yu Xiaogang's wrist dislocated at once. "Ah!!!"

The sudden, piercing pain made Yu Xiaogang, who had never endured hardship, let out a pig-slaughtering scream. He clutched his arm and did not dare move.

Tang San immediately rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Ma Hongjun also wanted to go, but Flender stopped him with a look.

Dai Mubai remained seated, unmoved.

He casually grabbed Oscar, who had wanted to go over and take a look.

Ning Rongrong was certainly going.

Like Xiao Wu, she had to stand firmly behind Ye Qingcang.

Something that had already happened a month ago could not happen again today.

Even if she had to stake the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect on it,

she would stand with Ye Qingcang.

Yu Xiaogang?

The Grandmaster?

He had considerable prestige in the Soul Master world?

Prestige was nothing but a bubble. No matter how great Yu Xiaogang's prestige was, it could not surpass that of a Titled Douluo. Even Dugu Bo, who had previously ranked at the bottom among Titled Douluo, was not someone Yu Xiaogang could compare himself to!

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment.

In her rigid way of thinking, Yu Xiaogang was indeed one of her teachers.

It felt a little too excessive not to go over at all.

She subconsciously glanced at Dai Mubai. She actually wanted to ask for his opinion, hoping they could advance and retreat together. Yet Dai Mubai did not even look at her. He was chatting and laughing with a girl from Tianshui Academy. Over the past half month, Dai Mubai had stopped showing her concern. Instead, his indifferent attitude seemed to turn into a sharp sword that stabbed painfully into her heart.

Unable to get a response from Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing could only follow her own beliefs and go over to take a look.

Unaware that her fiancé had already sold her for a good price.

"I told you, don't force me to act."

"Yu Xiaogang, there is a limit to a person's patience."

"You have repeatedly crossed my bottom line."

"Now. Immediately. Go back!"

Liu Erlong no longer wanted to waste words on Yu Xiaogang. Especially as more and more people gathered nearby—even Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan from Spirit Hall had come over. If this continued, only Blue Tyrant Academy would lose face.

"Dean Liu, even if there is a conflict, you shouldn't solve it with violence!" Tang San stepped forward righteously. However, before he could say anything else, Xiao Wu and Yu Xiaogang hit him with a double rejection.

"Do you know how outrageous the things he said were?" It was Xiao Wu. Her eyes were full of disappointment as she looked at Tang San, like a sharp sword piercing straight through him.

"Enough, Little San!" Yu Xiaogang's voice rang out at the same time as Xiao Wu's rebuke. Gritting his teeth, he raised his other hand to stop Tang San, glanced around, and suppressed the venom in his eyes. "If they're unwilling to give us soul bones, then forget it. Consider your teacher incapable of breaking this discriminatory mindset. Come back with me!"

Tang San felt so miserable he wanted to vomit blood.

Was this how a teacher was supposed to act?

His disciple had stepped up to support him, yet he stabbed his disciple in the back?

We were ready to fight to the death—why did Your Majesty surrender first?!

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Or are you just a coward who only knows how to act tough at home?

"Wait. Make yourself clear..." Ye Qingcang raised his eyes. Did Yu Xiaogang think he could just slap on a label and leave? How could there be such a convenient thing in the world? "It's not that I'm unwilling to give you soul bones, nor am I treating anyone differently. It's that you people who came in through the back door were never entitled to these benefits in the first place. The benefits listed on the forum bounty were for students who entered through the proper channels. In other words, only students who registered by paying credits can receive the soul bones being offered now. Joining the team does not mean you enjoy the promised benefits. Don't assume I'm as poor as you are. Soul bones? I have as many as I want. But without rules, there can be no order. Giving you soul bones would be what truly counts as preferential treatment!"

Joining the team did not mean enjoying the promised benefits?

How could someone with a body temperature of thirty-six degrees say something so cold it was minus one hundred?

Yu Xiaogang understood everything.

No wonder Liu Erlong had agreed so readily.

She had gone into the study to discuss it with Flender for a few words.

Only four or five minutes.

Then she had come out and agreed.

So from the very beginning, they had never planned to allocate any resources to them at all. It was like taking them out for a stroll, like walking dogs, and then sending them back?

I, Yu Xiaogang, will remember this grudge!

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth, endured the humiliation, and silently left with Tang San.

Tang San also felt deeply humiliated.

But Yu Xiaogang was the one who had humiliated him.

As for Xiao Wu... the problem could not possibly lie with Xiao Wu!

Xiao Wu had merely been coerced by Ye Qingcang!

Yes, she had definitely been coerced by Ye Qingcang!

"All right, if there's nothing else, disperse." Ye Qingcang waved his hand. As he dismissed the others, he suddenly added, "Zhu Zhuqing, stay behind."

Hearing Ye Qingcang say this, Xie Yue, Yan, and the others dispersed one after another. You could not rush a friendship. Even if they wanted to win Ye Qingcang over, even if they wanted to be friends with him, they could not become friends in a single second.

People who could not read the room would never be popular.

However, Hu Liena and Ning Rongrong remained.

Hu Liena relied on her beauty and background.

Ning Rongrong also relied on her beauty and background.

As the one specifically told to stay, Zhu Zhuqing was completely confused. For a moment, she could not decide whether to leave or remain. By the time she made up her mind, it was already too late, because she had stayed.

"The royal struggles of the Star Luo Empire are exceptionally brutal." Ye Qingcang flipped his palm, and an Alchemy Array unfolded, drawing the returned Ten Thousand Year Chicken Crested Serpent into it. It sounded like a reminder, but more like advice. "However, the struggle in your generation is the gentlest of them all... Don't think of your sister as too evil. Contrasts are extremely common in this world. Those who truly want to harm you will never let you realize they intend to harm you, and those who want you to live will not truly kill you either. When you have time, think it over carefully. I believe you can see another, more genuine world."
