It Was All Your Fault—Why Did You Have to Provoke Her?

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect was situated within a mountain range, its sect buildings standing in neat rows...

The council hall.

Only Yu Yuanzhen sat in the seat of honor, while Yu Xiaogang knelt on the floor in a miserable state.

"You beast... you beast! How unfortunate must my, Yu Yuanzhen's, household be to have produced a beast like you!"

"Do you know how great a disaster you've caused? And you still had the nerve to come back? A whole month before you returned?!"

Yu Yuanzhen looked at the kneeling Yu Xiaogang and said in bitter disappointment, "You, you, you! Why did you have to provoke her?"

"Father, I... wasn't I trying to prove myself to the Lineage? If I had succeeded, both you and the Lineage would have looked at me differently."

Yu Xiaogang knelt on the floor with his head lowered, not daring to look Yu Yuanzhen in the eye.

"You... you'd have been better off dying outside!" Yu Yuanzhen roared furiously. "Now everyone knows about this. Everyone is watching Spirit Hall!"

"Spirit Hall will retaliate against our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. They absolutely will retaliate against us! This is all your fault!"

"Use that pig brain of yours! Even if you had actually succeeded, would Spirit Hall have agreed to it? Would they simply hand over the saintess they painstakingly raised to our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect for nothing?"

"You fool! A fool who knows nothing!" Yu Yuanzhen had utterly given up on this son of his.

For the past month, he had been unable to sit or stand at ease, waiting for his son to return and explain himself. Yet it took that beast an entire month to come back!

"Father, I truly know I was wrong. I never thought the consequences would be this severe. It's all because of that woman, Bibi Dong!"

Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth. "If it weren't for her insisting on eloping with me, it wouldn't have come to this..."

"And you still have the nerve to say that? What is your status? What is hers? How did you dare provoke her?"

"Father, I only failed. If I had succeeded, you definitely wouldn't be speaking to me like this!" Yu Xiaogang argued.

"Failed? Succeeded? This could never have succeeded. There wasn't the slightest possibility!" Yu Yuanzhen said angrily.

"Spirit Hall will definitely send people after you. Their saintess betrayed Spirit Hall because of you. Pray for yourself!"

"Father! You're my real father!" Yu Xiaogang panicked the moment he heard that his father would no longer protect him.

He crawled before Yu Yuanzhen, hugged his leg, and burst into tears. "Father, you can't abandon me. If you don't protect me, Spirit Hall will kill me!"

"So you do know how serious the consequences are?" Yu Yuanzhen kicked Yu Xiaogang away. "If you knew, why did you do this in the first place?!"

"Tell me, why? What kind of force is Spirit Hall? It is the strongest force on the entire continent!"

"With such a scandal, everyone is laughing at Spirit Hall. But the more people laugh at Spirit Hall, the worse it will be for our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect when Spirit Hall settles the score!"

"Do you know what the message from our people said?" Yu Yuanzhen glared furiously.

"Wh-what did it say?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

"Heh!" Yu Yuanzhen gritted his teeth. "Even the residents of Spirit City are clamoring to take revenge on us!"

"If this matter had not grown so large, we might have been able to calm things down by paying a price."

"But now everyone under heaven knows about it! Spirit Hall will never let this go!" Yu Yuanzhen said with a headache.

"Father, you have to save me," Yu Xiaogang cried.

"Save you? How am I supposed to save you? Do you think Spirit Hall is only coming for you? If Spirit Hall truly makes a move, they'll be coming for our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!"

"Father... Father..." Yu Xiaogang looked at his father's disappointed face, trying to awaken his paternal affection.

"Enough, enough. Shut up!" Yu Yuanzhen said.

"You useless waste who ruins everything! Had I known it would turn out like this, I never should have let you leave!"

"Father, even you think I'm useless now?" Yu Xiaogang said with a grief-stricken expression.

"Aren't you? Do you not know where your cultivation came from? You good-for-nothing waste!"

Yu Yuanzhen grew furious upon hearing that. If he had not transferred soul power to his worthless son back then to speed up his cultivation, his own cultivation progress would not have been delayed!

"Father, now isn't the time to blame me or not. The important thing is how we should face Spirit Hall's wrath."

Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen suddenly felt powerless all over. How were they supposed to face it? What else could they do?!

Now everyone in the world knew that Spirit Hall's saintess had betrayed Spirit Hall because of a worthless member of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and wanted to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?!

The longer Spirit Hall delayed taking action, the greater their anger would be! When the time came, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's losses would be even greater.

"We'll take it one step at a time..." Yu Yuanzhen said weakly. "No one must know that you've returned, understand?"

"Why?" Yu Xiaogang asked in confusion.

"Why?" Yu Yuanzhen laughed in extreme anger. "You fool! You still dare ask why?"

"You brought shame upon the sect and such a tremendous disaster upon it, yet you're still asking why?!"

"The sect elders and disciples all want to tear you apart alive! Watch yourself!"

"Even in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, I am not someone whose word is absolute. Those elders are asking me whether you have returned or not."

"Fortunately, you snuck back today, and I was the first person you saw. If you had returned openly... heh!"

A wave of fear washed over Yu Xiaogang. If he had openly returned through the main gate, the outcome was easy to imagine.

"Father, you'll save me, won't you?" Yu Xiaogang asked.

"Don't worry. I won't watch you die!" Looking at Yu Xiaogang's cowardice, Yu Yuanzhen only regretted that he had not shot him onto the wall back then!

What an unfortunate household!

"I knew Father loved me. You wouldn't just stand by and watch me die." Yu Xiaogang's eyes filled with tears.

Had he known the consequences would be so severe, he never would have provoked Bibi Dong, no matter what.

This Bibi Dong was simply an idiot. She had actually told Qian Xunji directly about the matter between the two of them.

"Get out, get out!" Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand. "Be careful yourself. Don't show your face before anyone else."

"And don't appear before me anytime soon either. The moment I see you, I want to kill you with my own hands!"

"Ah?" A chill ran down Yu Xiaogang's back. He hurriedly got to his feet and left the council hall.
