This feeling came out of nowhere, yet it was incredibly intense.
Bibi Dong frowned and instinctively grasped Ling Jing's hand.
Feeling Bibi Dong's movement, Ling Jing turned his head in confusion, only to find that there was nothing unusual in her expression. She was merely watching the events outside the carriage with curiosity.
"You actually dared to attack? Do you know who I am?!"
Liu Erlong raised her chin disdainfully. "I don't care who you are. All I know is that even if the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire came, I would still be in the right!"
"Calling your parents when you can't win? I like this part."
Flender spoke sinisterly from the side as well.
Only Yu Xiaogang stood there in a daze, saying nothing.
"Xiao Gang, they were the ones in the wrong to begin with. Don't you agree?"
"Xiao Gang?"
Liu Erlong called out to Yu Xiaogang several times in succession, yet received no response.
Seeing this, Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang in puzzlement. He was staring at the carriage not far away, his hands silently clenched, and the look in his eyes was exceptionally complicated.
Resentment, unwillingness... and even a trace of regret?
Liu Erlong looked over curiously and happened to meet Bibi Dong's gaze from within the carriage.
Seeing Bibi Dong's exquisite yet noble face, Liu Erlong froze slightly, and a flicker of curiosity rose in her heart.
This person... had Xiao Gang known her before?
The thought had barely surfaced when Yu Xiaogang spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice. "Bibi Dong, it has been a long time."
Bibi Dong? So this woman's name was Bibi Dong?
Wait... wasn't the current Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall also named Bibi Dong?
Liu Erlong's eyes widened instantly. She looked at Yu Xiaogang, then at Bibi Dong in the carriage, and shock gradually filled her gaze.
Who would have thought Yu Xiaogang had such a past?
Liu Erlong had not fallen in love with Yu Xiaogang yet. In fact, she had only known Flender and Yu Xiaogang for a short time, and their relationship was still nowhere near as close as it would be during the days of the Golden Iron Triangle.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang actually had some connection to the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, Liu Erlong only felt curious.
After all, no matter how profound Yu Xiaogang's knowledge was, he was merely a Soul Grandmaster in his twenties. No matter how one looked at it, he did not seem like someone who could have anything to do with the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall.
"Let's go."
Bibi Dong lowered her eyes and raised her hand to lower the carriage curtain, showing no intention of exchanging pleasantries with Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed slightly at the sight, and his tone became far more urgent. "Bibi Dong! We knew each other, at the very least. Do you have to act as though we are complete strangers?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bibi Dong's hand paused slightly.
Inside the carriage, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had not been paying attention to any of this and had no interest in it whatsoever, slightly raised his head.
With Golden Crocodile Douluo's senses, he could naturally perceive Yu Xiaogang's strength. He was nothing more than a weak Soul Grandmaster.
In public, he actually dared to tarnish the reputation of Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden with such words?
Golden Crocodile Douluo said nothing and merely cast a casual glance at Ghost and Chrysanthemum beside him.
At once, Ghost and Chrysanthemum shuddered, but before either of them could act, Ling Jing spoke directly.
"Yu Xiaogang, you still have the nerve to say that you knew my senior sister? Have you forgotten how you used my senior sister's name to swindle people in Spirit City? And now, how do you still have the nerve to say such things?"
Seeing Ling Jing stick his head out through the carriage window, Yu Xiaogang's face darkened at once.
Ling Jing... why was this guy haunting him like a ghost?
Yu Xiaogang could not help but take a deep breath.
Swindling people in Spirit City... while using Bibi Dong's title as Holy Maiden?
Liu Erlong cast a strange glance at Yu Xiaogang, whose entire body was trembling, then instinctively looked toward Flender.
Flender could only shrug helplessly.
"Don't slander me! I... I never swindled anyone!"
Yu Xiaogang held it in for quite some time before finally forcing out those words.
But Ling Jing clearly had no intention of giving him a chance to argue. He directly removed Twenty Bridges Moonlit Nights from his waist. "You used my senior sister's title as Holy Maiden to deceive young Soul Masters in Spirit City. After the truth came out, their families blocked you outside Spirit City, and you had no choice but to hand over this belt as payment for your debts... Now that I have bought this belt, you still dare to deny it?"
"Yu Xiaogang, I have never seen anyone as shameless as you!"
The strange looks from the surrounding crowd all fell upon Yu Xiaogang. Even Flender and Liu Erlong, who had initially stood beside him, exchanged a glance and quietly shifted a little farther away.
Back then, Flender had only seen Yu Xiaogang surrounded by a group of people and forced to hand over the belt. He had not known that this was how Yu Xiaogang had left Spirit City.
He had initially thought Yu Xiaogang was knowledgeable and spoke with some confidence, so he had considered becoming friends with him.
But now... this man did not seem worth knowing too deeply!
Flender pushed up his glasses. Though he had already made up his mind, he did not leave. Instead, he watched the spectacle with great interest.
The onlookers nearby also cast strange looks at Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang trembled with rage, his fists clenched tightly. He wished he could punch Ling Jing, that damned fellow, to death.
But with his meager strength, charging forward would be nothing but suicide.
Besides... if he summoned Luo Sanpao and had him fart in a situation like this, he would probably only be mocked even more.
Yu Xiaogang took several deep breaths in a row before squeezing out a sentence through gritted teeth. "Ling Jing, you are going too far! If it weren't for you... how would I have ended up like this?"
Ling Jing was immediately amused when he heard that.
"I am going too far? Then tell me, how exactly have I gone too far? You call yourself a master of martial soul theory and boast of your vast knowledge, yet you could not even recognize my martial soul. Oh, no, not only could you not recognize it, you even brazenly claimed that it was another kind of martial soul and even got its future development path wrong."
"You lack skill yourself, yet falsely call yourself a master. And you still have the nerve to accuse me of lacking skill?"
"Bah!"
Ling Jing wore a disdainful expression as he directly exposed Yu Xiaogang's facade, while also patting Bibi Dong's hand to comfort her.
In truth, Bibi Dong did not feel the slightest emotional disturbance.
Yet hearing Ling Jing defend her, the corners of Bibi Dong's lips still could not help but curve upward slightly, forming a faint smile.
"Yu Xiaogang, I told you last time that from now on, we are no longer friends. Yet you continued using my name to swindle people. And now, you are here spouting nonsense and repeatedly trampling upon the dignity of Spirit Hall."
"Do you really think I would not dare to kill you?!"
Before you continue
