Yu Xiaogang Had Nowhere to Hide, Forbidden Love

What do you want to do?

Yu Xiaogang instinctively took a half step back, then steadied himself, reached into his robes, pulled out the Spirit Hall token, and held it high.

"I am Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall, and your master's... old flame."

You'd better not do anything to me, or your master won't let you off the hook!

He spoke with great confidence.

The token is genuine; it was given to him personally by Bibi Dong. Even if the Saint Son doesn't know about his past with Bibi Dong, he should recognize this token.

He wasn't sure if Bibi Dong still harbored feelings for him, but with the token in hand, the Spirit Hall couldn't afford to harm their own people.

Liu Erlong stood aside, watching Yu Xiaogang raise the token, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

When he mentioned Bibi Dong, his tone remained as matter-of-fact as ever, as if that woman still lived in his shadow.

Shui Yunlian sneered, making no attempt to hide the contempt on her face:

"With your meager strength, you dare to be Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall?"

The Shrek Academy students are all shameless.

She had just been badly beaten by Shrek, but now that Fang Fan had stood up for the Skywater Academy, she felt extremely happy.

"He is indeed Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall."

Fang Fan spoke, his tone flat and devoid of any emotion.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang felt a sense of relief, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

As expected, the Saint Son still had to accept the token.

However, before his smile could fully unfold, Fang Fan suddenly raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible force directly snatched the token from his hand and placed it in Fang Fan's palm.

"However, that's not the case now."

With a slight exertion of his fingers, Fang Fan shattered the token in his palm, turning it into powder that fell through his fingers.

Yu Xiaogang's smile instantly froze.

"You? You think you're worthy of being Honorary Elder of the Spirit Hall?"

Fang Fan stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Yu Xiaogang's face, which had turned from pale to white, and then from white to red. His voice was not loud, but every word was like a needle.

"You are not worthy of my master."

You're so average-looking and have no talent either.

Back then, in order to gain access to the Spirit Hall's Library Pavilion, he deceived my young and naive teacher, exploited her feelings, and secretly learned the Spirit Hall's scriptures.

Then what?

They run away at the slightest difficulty, without even giving an explanation.

You're disgusting.

Who would fall in love with an irresponsible man like you?

Didn't you abandon Liu Erlong back then?

"You run away at the slightest difficulty; now only a blind bastard like Liu Erlong would still have eyes for you."

These words were utterly merciless; every word pierced Yu Xiaogang's heart like a knife.

His face turned a deep purplish-red, his lips trembled, and he wanted to refute but couldn't utter a single word.

He was known as a "Grandmaster" in the Soul Master World; although his physical strength was lacking, he was respected for his theoretical knowledge.

But now, with his most shameful past exposed in public, all the dignity he was so proud of was shattered.

Shui Yunlian stood there stunned, while Shui Bing'er covered her mouth in surprise.

They only knew Yu Xiaogang as a renowned Grandmaster in the Soul Master World, but they never imagined that this Grandmaster had such a shameful past.

Someone who exploits emotions to secretly learn classical texts, then runs away after mastering them, abandoning them after starting a relationship—does such a person deserve to be called Grandmaster?

Tang San, Dai Mubai, and Oscar all turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, their eyes filled with shock.

Xiao Wu's eyes widened in disbelief; she never imagined that her Third Brother's teacher would be this kind of person.

Only Liu Erlong stood beside Yu Xiaogang, her face alternating between pale and flushed, but she did not refute him.

Because every word Fang Fan said was true. She had also been abandoned by Yu Xiaogang back then, and she knew what that felt like.

But she just couldn't let go of this man, even though she knew he was cowardly, selfish, and would run away at the first sign of trouble.

Fang Fan is right, she is the one who is blind.

Yu Xiaogang's face flushed crimson, his eyes fixed on Fang Fan, his lips trembling as he managed to squeeze out a few words: "You... you..."

He never dreamed that Bibi Dong would tell this boy all those old stories.

Those events were the past he least wanted to be mentioned in his life, the most unbearable scars beneath his carefully maintained image Grandmaster.

Now look what's happened! In front of everyone at Shrek Academy and the teachers and students of the Skywater Academy, he's been completely and utterly humiliated by this young man.

Despicable, utterly despicable.

"What do you mean, 'you'?"

Fang Fan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly fixed on Yu Xiaogang's distorted face. His tone remained unhurried, yet every word was like a knife.

"Am I wrong? You and Liu Erlong are cousins—"

Liu Erlong is Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter, and her Fire Dragon Martial Soul is a mutation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.

You developed feelings for her, and after dating for so long, you still didn't know each other's identities.

On your wedding night, Yu Luomian arrives to stop you, and that's when you learn she's your cousin.

And then what? You ran away without saying a word."

Everyone present was stunned by these words.

Liu Erlong abruptly turned to look at Fang Fan, her eyes filled with shock.

This matter was extremely secret; almost no one knew about it except for the Golden Triangle and Yu Luomian from back then. How did this young man find out?

Flender opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to defend Yu Xiaogang, but found himself unable to utter a single word, because every word Fang Fan said was true.

Yu Xiaogang looked as if he had been stripped naked in public. The color drained from his thin face, then turned purple. He looked as if someone was choking him, and even his breathing became rapid.

"You run away from trouble, you start something and then abandon it. Do you even deserve to be a teacher?"

Fang Fan's tone remained calm, but every word was like a slap in the face, landing squarely on Yu Xiaogang's cheek.

"Do you even deserve to be called a man?"

Shui Yunlian stood to the side, her disdain deepening.

She originally thought Yu Xiaogang was just lacking in ability, but she didn't expect his character to be so despicable as well.

He used Bibi Dong and then ran away, he betrayed Liu Erlong and then ran away again. This kind of man is simply a coward.

Shui Bing'er frowned slightly, a hint of undisguised disgust flashing in her icy blue eyes.

The Shrek group, from top to bottom, are all truly despicable.

Tang San gasped.

He certainly respected Yu Xiaogang. It was his teacher who brought him out of Notting City, taught him the Martial Soul Theory, and paved the way for him to enter the world of Soul Master.

But upon hearing about his teacher's past, a part of his heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

Abandoning Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong, running away at the first sign of trouble—is this really the all-knowing, virtuous Grandmaster he admires?

Xiao Wu stood behind Tang San, and her gaze toward Yu Xiaogang had changed from indifference to disgust.

She has always been simple-minded; she likes what she likes and dislikes what she dislikes. In her eyes, a man who abandoned his woman twice is an absolute scumbag.

Dai Mubai remained silent, but an indescribable emotion welled up inside him.

Abandoning his fiancée and fleeing the Star Luo Empire--

He had done these things himself.

Every word Fang Fan uttered to Yu Xiaogang felt like a veiled insult striking at his heart.

Oscar touched the scar on his severed finger, glanced at Dai Mubai furtively, and didn't dare to say a word.

Ma Hongjun lifted the Carriage curtain and muttered a curse in a much higher-pitched voice:

"Damn, he's even worse than me."

Zhu Zhuqing stood Fang Fan, a rare hint of disgust appearing on her usually cold face.

Ning Rongrong frowned without any attempt to hide it, and pouted:

"This kind of person can be called Grandmaster? I've never seen anything like it in my life."

Dugu Yan's emerald green eyes were full of disdain. She snorted coldly and remained silent.
