Yu Xiaogang Refused to Give Up

After Yu Xiaogang finished scolding, he rubbed his slightly swollen face.

He grimaced in pain and muttered, "Strange, I shouldn't have offended the Spirit Hall, should I?"

"I've never offended that girl, so why did she start hitting me the moment she heard my name?"

Then Yu Xiaogang muttered narcissistically, "Could it be that my reputation has reached the ears of this Saintess of the Spirit Hall, and she thinks I'm just trying to gain fame?"

"That's why she hit me without warning as soon as I said my name."

"Yes, that must be it. It seems I need to change her perception of me."

"Ouch~ That really hurt!" Yu Xiaogang then chuckled, "But, I'm starting to kind of like this Saintess."

Yu Xiaogang immediately lowered his hand and looked at the city wall. "So the Saintess hit me because she heard something and has some misunderstanding about me."

"Since she is the Saintess of the Spirit Hall, if I can change her opinion of me and get closer to her, wouldn't I have a great chance of entering the Library Pavilion?"

"So I have to go back into town and talk to her face to face."

"But I was just asked to leave, how am I supposed to get back into the city?"

Yu Xiaogang looked at the city gate and guards in the distance, and frowned.

Then his eyes fell on a dark blue carriage approaching from a distance. The totem on the carriage curtains was none other than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul of their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"By the way, the Pope is getting married soon, and my family will definitely send someone to offer their congratulations."

"I don't know if it's my father or my second uncle leading the way!"

Yu Xiaogang immediately ran over and blocked the carriage before it entered the city.

"Do you want to die?!" The driver shouted angrily as he stopped the carriage abruptly when someone blocked his way.

A middle-aged man dressed in dark blue pulled back the carriage curtain and asked, "What's going on!"

Upon seeing this person, Yu Xiaogang immediately exclaimed, "Second Uncle, it's me... it's me!"

"Who are you calling Second Uncle... you idiot, who are you?!" Yu Luomian looked at Yu Xiaogang face was bruised and swollen, with a look of disgust.

Yu Xiaogang quickly called out, "It's me... Yu Xiaogang, your nephew Yu Xiaogang."

Yu Luomian paused for a moment, squinted and scrutinized the face for a long time before recognizing a familiar outline on the bruised and swollen face.

"Yu Xiaogang?" Yu Luomian looked at him for a while before confirming, "How did you end up outside Spirit City, and in such a state?"

"Who hit me!"

Yu Xiaogang immediately opened his mouth, wanting to say that the people from the Spirit Hall had hit him, but he swallowed the words back.

His second uncle Yu Luomian, was the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and was known for his impatient temper and sharp tongue.

If Yu Xiaogang were to say that he was beaten by the Spirit Hall, the first reaction would definitely not be to help him, but to scold him for disgracing the family.

Let alone taking him into the city, it would be good enough if we didn't kick him out.

Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to quickly change his story, saying, "I came to Spirit City to study... but I encountered robbers on the way."

Yu Luomian's face darkened as he said, "Your talent may be useless, but you're still Soul Master. You can't even beat a robber?"

"Seriously, if you travel across the continent, don't call yourself a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. I can't bear the shame."

Upon hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Xiaogang silently clenched his fist.

It hurt a lot when the girl slapped his face, but the sect's words hurt him even more.

"Speak, what do you want by stopping me?" Yu Luomian noticed the change in Yu Xiaogang's expression but didn't care at all.

"Second Uncle," Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath and said, "Could you take me into the city? Without revealing my identity as a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the guards won't let me in."

Yu Luomian scoffed, "Oh, you've only been gone a short while, and you've already learned to intimidate people with your words?"

"Is it possible that if I stay out outside for too long, one day I'll start riding on your head again?"

Yu Xiaogang lowered his head slightly. "Second Uncle, how could I dare?"

Immediately, Yu Luomian waved his hand impatiently and said, "Forget it, since we've already met, and Spirit City is just ahead, why not give me a ride? I don't know what my elder brother will say to me when I get home."

"Stay close to the carriage."

Yu Xiaogang's face lit up with joy, and he quickly said, "Thank you, Second Uncle."

Yu Luomian raised her hand to stop her, saying, "No need to thank me, it was just something I did on the side. Once you enter the city, you can go your own way."

"Don't follow us around."

Yu Xiaogang lowered his head and said nothing, blending into the carriage procession.

The city gate guards recognized the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's totem and, after a simple routine check, let them pass directly.

After entering the city, Yu Luomian didn't even stop, tossing out a sentence through the carriage curtain. "We're here, walk by yourself."

Having achieved his goal, Yu Xiaogang blended into the crowd without saying a word.

"It seems impossible to attend the wedding with my second uncle and get close to the Saintess in this way," Yu Xiaogang down the street. "And I was just kicked out by the guards at the Spirit Hall headquarters; it's not appropriate for me to go there again."

"We can only wait for the Saintess to come out near the Spirit Hall headquarters and see if there's a chance to make contact."

"Fortunately, I'm now a One-Ring Soul Master, and I can receive one Gold Soul Coin from the Sub-Hall in the city every month, which is enough for my daily expenses."

In the Pope's Palace.

Yue Guan reported, "Your His Holiness the Pope, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect has checked into the hotel, led by their second-in-command, Yu Luomian."

Qian Xunji nodded. "Just behave yourself."

"Oh, right," Yue Guan added, "Yu Xiaogang has gone into town again."

Bibi Dong was taken aback by these words: "No, how did Yu Xiaogang get into the city again? Ghost Elder clearly threw him out."

The Gui Mei stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't go through the city gate; I was thrown over the wall. I didn't expect it to still come in."

Qian Xunji asked, "Yue Guan, what happened? How did he get into the city? Didn't anyone check his identity?"

"Your Majesty," Yue Guan said, clasping his hands in greeting, "He just happened to run into Yu Luomian. They entered the city with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's group, so the guards didn't check each of them."

The Gui Mei immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will go and throw him out of the city right away."

Qian Xunji raised his hand to stop him, saying, "Forget it, the wedding is still a few days away, and all the forces will be arriving one after another. At this critical juncture, there's no need to cause any negative publicity for the Spirit Hall because of this good-for-nothing."

"Let him stay in the city quietly for a few days."

"But is he really so persistent, just to get into my Library Pavilion?"

Bibi Dong reported, "Teacher, yes. The first time, he actually tried to join the Spirit Hall and enter the Library Pavilion at the registration desk."

"I didn't expect that after I beat him up again and threw him out, he came back in. He's quite stubborn."

"Hmph." Qian Xunji sneered, "Lin Fan is right, this Yu Xiaogang is really persistent in his Soul Master Theory."

"If I hadn't known the outcome beforehand, I might have actually let him start learning from the Sub-Hall in the city, given his unwavering determination."

Qian Xunji finished speaking, he looked at Bibi Dong and asked, "Dong'er, you saw Yu Xiaogang again not long ago. How did you feel?"

Bibi Dong thought for a moment and replied seriously, "I looked out the window at the time, but I didn't feel anything special."

"But now, hearing about Yu Xiaogang's stubbornness and persistence, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Qian Xunji's eyes narrowed. "Even this can affect your state of mind... Is the break not thorough enough?!"
