Liu Erlong: Uncle, Dad, tell me, where did I go wrong?

Liu Erlong's eyes were red.

She felt she had suffered a tremendous injustice.

"Are you still not going to tell us what exactly caused this?"

Her father, Yu Luomian, also spoke gravely,

"And why would that boy Ning Xuan say it had something to do with that useless good-for-nothing?"

Yu Luomian showed no hesitation in calling Yu Xiaogang a useless good-for-nothing.

Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul Awakening had produced the mutated Luo Sanpao.

He was stuck at rank twenty-nine for life.

To the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which revered martial strength, that made him utterly useless. Otherwise, he would never have been driven out of the clan in the first place.

Even his later fame as a theoretical Grandmaster on the continent changed nothing.

In the eyes of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was still useless.

Perhaps only Liu Erlong.

Had always regarded him as an unpolished gem.

Hearing Yu Luomian's words, Liu Erlong immediately glared at him.

"Xiaogang isn't useless."

Smack-

Yu Yuanzhen slammed the table again.

"As clan leader, I didn't summon you back to argue about that. I summoned you to give me a reason."

"Liu Erlong, why does the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect want to break off the engagement?"

"Do you know how much the clan will lose if they really break it off?"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the continent's foremost financial powerhouse.

The marriage alliance alone had already brought the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan immeasurable wealth.

Not to mention the betrothal gifts delivered some time ago.

Top-grade medicinal herbs, Soul Bones, treasures, high-level Soul Beasts awaiting slaughter, several businesses that raked in gold by the day, and a priceless Immortal Herb.

It could be said that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect attached tremendous importance to this marriage.

Yet now the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wanted to break off the engagement!

Even thinking with his toes, Yu Yuanzhen could tell that something had gone wrong on their side.

Otherwise, given Ning Xuan's infatuation with Liu Erlong.

He would never have proposed breaking off the engagement himself!

The only reason Yu Yuanzhen had treated Ning Xuan that way that day was to keep the initiative in his own hands.

"Lose?"

Liu Erlong gave a cold laugh.

She met Yu Yuanzhen's gaze fearlessly, displaying her fiery defiance.

"Uncle, all you ever care about is profit, whether something is worth it."

"For that, you could even drive out your own son."

"But have you ever considered that I'm not your son, and you have no right to decide my life for me?"

"Then why did you agree when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect proposed the marriage a few years ago?"

That single question from Yu Yuanzhen left her speechless.

Why had she agreed?

Because there had been no news of Yu Xiaogang back then.

Liu Erlong had found no pleasure in anything, spending her days waiting forlornly at Blue Tyrant Academy.

She had felt that, as long as it wasn't Yu Xiaogang.

Marrying anyone would be the same anyway, so she had simply agreed to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's proposed marriage alliance.

But things were different now.

Yu Xiaogang had joined the Blue Tyrant Academy she had founded along with Shrek Academy, and Liu Erlong's heart had come alive again.

"Since you agreed to marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you had better behave yourself and abandon those unrealistic notions."

Yu Yuanzhen continued coldly,

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will come to break off the engagement in a few days. Go admit your mistake to Ning Xuan and act a little coy, and this whole matter will surely blow over."

"Why should I admit any mistake to him?"

Liu Erlong asked indignantly,

"I didn't do anything wrong. He's clearly the one at fault. Why should I apologize?"

"What did he do wrong?"

Yu Luomian could not help feeling for his daughter after all.

"We asked you what happened, but you wouldn't tell us. Now you say Ning Xuan is the problem, so you have to give us an explanation."

"You want to know?"

Liu Erlong drew a deep breath, her eyes red.

"Fine, then I'll tell you."

"I'll let you see just how hypocritical Ning Xuan really is."

She laughed coldly, full of derision.

"The only reason he wants to break off the engagement is that I went to Sunset Forest with Xiaogang and the others."

"Sunset Forest is full of dangers. Xiaogang and his students now belong to my Blue Tyrant Academy, too. As the dean, what was wrong with protecting them?"

"Besides, before that, I was mindful of the gossip about Xiaogang and me, so I specifically asked for his opinion. I only went to Sunset Forest after he agreed."

"Just because of that?"

Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian could not help exchanging a glance.

"What else did you think?"

Liu Erlong's expression grew even more mocking.

"If I'd truly done something to betray him, I, Liu Erlong, would have nothing to say if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wanted to break off the engagement."

"But can't you tell whether my body is still pure?"

Liu Erlong truly had a fiery temper; she would say anything.

Even her two elders, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian, could not help flushing.

Age had made them shrewd, and of course they could tell.

Though Liu Erlong had the appearance of a mature beauty, her brows and eyes had not opened, and her pelvic bones remained closed.

As high-level Soul Masters, they could tell almost at a glance that Liu Erlong was still a virgin.

"Just because I went into Sunset Forest with Xiaogang and the others, he told me he wanted to break off the engagement when I got back."

"Uncle, Dad, tell me..."

"Where did I go wrong?"

Liu Erlong spoke mockingly.

"If that's the only reason, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is being rather unreasonable."

Yu Luomian spoke with an ugly expression.

"Uncle, Dad, isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect merely a little richer, with just two Titled Douluos? I really can't understand why you're so afraid of offending them."

Liu Erlong spoke in disappointment.

"If he wants to break off the engagement, then let him. When the time comes, announce the reason to the whole continent, and we'll see who ends up disgraced."

"As for Ning Xuan?"

Disdain welled up on Liu Erlong's face again, and her words were contemptuous.

"He's nothing but a useless good-for-nothing who can only rely on his family."

"Over a decade ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect even dreamed of putting him on a divine pedestal, calling him some clan genius who could break through the shackles of his Martial Soul and even become a god."

"But look at him now. What a joke."

"He couldn't advance a single rank in ten years, even after taking an Immortal Herb. If you ask me, trash will always be trash. He might as well find a block of tofu and bash himself to death against it."

These were Liu Erlong's true thoughts.

Setting aside Ning Xuan's status as the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He was an utterly useless good-for-nothing.

Despite enjoying the countless resources supplied by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, his Soul Power had ultimately stopped at rank seventy-nine.

What if those resources had been given to her?

She probably would have broken through to become a Soul Douluo long ago.

Of course, there was also the publicity the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had built around Ning Xuan over a decade ago.

Just as mentioned before.

However high they raised him, when his future achievements failed to meet everyone's expectations, he would be ground down from his divine pedestal and reduced to everyone's laughingstock.

Otherwise, as a Soul Saint in his twenties.

Ning Xuan would have been considered a genius anywhere, and so many people would never have mocked him as useless.

"Alas, Erlong, you don't understand."

Yu Luomian sighed, his attitude softening somewhat.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Sword Douluo Chen Xin is far more than just a Titled Douluo."
