[A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: I love hearing conspiracy theories.] [Bibi Dong: How could it possibly be that simple? Yu Xiaogang must have done something to wrong Liu Erlong as well.] [Liu Erlong: Then... Guild Master, go ahead. I believe I can accept it.]
Liu Erlong had already prepared herself. No matter how hard this conspiracy theory was to accept, she believed she could withstand it.
[Strongest: Earlier, we mentioned that after Yu Xiaogang left Spirit Hall, he had already secretly learned quite a few martial soul theories. Moreover, what he specifically studied was martial soul mutation theory. So, Liu Erlong, your Red Dragon martial soul should also be a mutation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, right?] [Liu Erlong: Yes... Though I really don't want to admit it, it did indeed mutate from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.] [Strongest: Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao also mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. So let me ask you this: both of your martial souls are mutations of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. After spending so much time with you, could Yu Xiaogang really have failed to notice that your Red Dragon martial soul had also mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?] Surely, no matter how foolish he was, he should have noticed. Did he discover it and choose not to say anything, or did he truly not notice at all?] [Not Little Witch: Hiss, now that Guild Master says it, the more I think about it, the scarier it gets. That's right—those fart masters studied martial soul mutations. Even if he didn't know how other martial souls mutated, he should know best about the mutation paths of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. So he definitely knew Liu Erlong came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]
Ning Rongrong immediately shuddered all over.
Did Yu Xiaogang really have that kind of mind?
"So what exactly was he trying to do? Knowing that Liu Erlong came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he still dated her. What was he trying to accomplish?"
Ning Rongrong pondered.
[Bibi Dong: Just hearing this already makes it feel like there's a huge conspiracy behind it.] [Motherless Since Childhood: Bibi Dong, you'd better stop talking. Yu Xiaogang's conspiracy against you wasn't small either.] [World's Greatest Poison: So what if he knew? What's the big deal?] [A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: Idiot! Think carefully. Yu Xiaogang knew Liu Erlong came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so as long as he spent some time investigating, he could definitely learn all about her background. @Liu Erlong, let me ask you—did Yu Xiaogang ever ask where you came from?] [Liu Erlong: I think he did ask.]
By now, Liu Erlong's mind had turned to mush.
An inexplicable chill rose in her heart.
"That's right! Yu Xiaogang specialized in researching martial soul mutations. After being together for so long, he should have known very clearly that my martial soul mutated from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. And even if he hadn't noticed, I must have mentioned the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan here and there. No matter how stupid he was, he could have guessed."
Liu Erlong murmured softly, panic creeping into her voice.
She suddenly felt that their past relationship might not have been so pure after all.
It was not that she still missed either relationship. She simply suddenly felt that it had not been worth it.
[Strongest: Let's assume Yu Xiaogang truly hadn't discovered anything—that he hadn't discovered your bloodline came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, nor had he discovered that you shared that kind of relationship with him.] Then when you used the Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique, could he still have failed to notice? If I'm not mistaken, your Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique was led by Yu Xiaogang's Luo Sanpao. Your Red Dragon martial soul supplied the bloodline Luo Sanpao lacked, allowing it to temporarily evolve, while Flender provided the corresponding soul power. Am I right?] [Liu Erlong: Y-Yes.] [Strongest: In other words, the true core of this so-called Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique is you and Yu Xiaogang. Flender's position could be filled by another soul master, right?] [Liu Erlong: There's nothing wrong with putting it that way...]
Liu Erlong thought it over.
Indeed, the core of this Trinity Martial Soul Fusion Technique lay with her and Yu Xiaogang.
[Strongest: Given that you and Yu Xiaogang are the core of this martial soul fusion technique, with Luo Sanpao serving as the vessel for the Golden Sacred Dragon formed by your martial soul fusion technique, while your Red Dragon martial soul provides the bloodline—and that bloodline must share the same origin—] that means that even if Yu Xiaogang didn't know your identity before, the moment you used the martial soul fusion technique, he definitely learned that your bloodline also came from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and was extremely close to his! So no matter how you look at it, Yu Xiaogang could not possibly have been unaware of your identity, Liu Erlong.]
Boom!
It was as though Liu Erlong's mind had exploded. The Guild Master's words instantly made everything clear to her.
That was right—she had never considered any of this before.
Yu Xiaogang had led every part of the martial soul fusion technique.
Yu Xiaogang must have confirmed her identity long ago, and he must have investigated the relationship between the two of them as well.
Yet in the end, they had still chosen to be together. That alone explained many things.
"So... Yu Xiaogang, you bastard, you were deceiving me all along, weren't you?! You kept deceiving my feelings just so you could study my martial soul mutation!
Yu Xiaogang! You have no heart!"
Although she had long since been disappointed in Yu Xiaogang and no longer harbored any thoughts of getting back together with him—
she had waited for over twenty years, after all. And now she was being told that it had all been meaningless, that those twenty years of waiting had been for nothing, because that man had regarded her as nothing more than an experiment from beginning to end.
Tears already streamed down Liu Erlong's face. Then a surge of rage welled up from the depths of her heart.
[Liu Erlong: Damn Yu Xiaogang! Sooner or later, I'll kill him with my own hands! He wasted twenty years of my youth!] [World's Greatest Poison: The day has finally come. What's that saying again? The deeper the love, the harsher the blame! Right?] [A Healer Cannot Heal Themself: Just put yourself in Liu Erlong's shoes. The man she'd waited twenty years for was actually a heartless scumbag. Just thinking about it is despairing, okay?] [Not Little Witch: I always thought all of this was far too coincidental. If that's the case, I have another thought: when they got married, wasn't Yu Luomian appearing there a little too coincidental? Could Yu Xiaogang have deliberately informed Yu Luomian?] [Shadow Cat: Then what was Yu Xiaogang's purpose? I don't really understand. Wouldn't that mean everyone would know Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong's identities?] [Xiao Wu: To save face, obviously. You have no idea how much that stinking fart cares about something like face.] [Not Little Witch: More or less what Little Rabbit said.]
