Chapter 26: Liu Er Long: Is It Really Like That?

Liu Er Long struggled to pull her hand free, but found she couldn't, and seeing Yu Xiaogang unmoved, she quickly said:

"Xiaogang, quickly tell your friend Qianxunji to let me go."

Yu Xiaogang, upon hearing that, was about to say something but then closed his mouth, because he recalled the brutal beating he had received from Qianxunji and his heart was filled with fear.

Conversely, Fulan De saw Liu Er Long being held by Qianxunji and not letting go; even though he knew at that moment the person before him was the Spirit Hall's Pontiff, he loudly shouted:

"Release my Er Long!"

Saying that, he charged toward Qianxunji.

However, Ju Douluo considered himself to be Qianxunji's most loyal and outstanding subordinate; thus, as Fulan De had just charged toward Qianxunji, Ju Douluo moved and stood directly before Fulan De.

"Get out of the way!" Fulan De angrily stared at Ju Douluo before him and coldly said.

"Oh? Pretty tough, huh?" Ju Douluo looked at the angry Fulan De and praised him.

Then, he delivered a heavy kick.

"Boom!"

Fulan De's body shot backward like a cannonball, snapping a large tree behind him in its path, then crashed to the ground and lay motionless.

"Fulan De!" Liu Er Long cried out in worry upon seeing Fulan De injured.

Then, Liu Er Long looked toward Yu Xiaogang and said:

"Xiaogang, even Fulan De knows to save me, why don't you come save me? I really misjudged you."

Upon hearing that, Yu Xiaogang also felt a wave of shame.

Of course, most importantly, he had finally managed to deceive Liu Er Long into loving him.

Thereafter, he could make his maternal uncle Yu Luomian regret having looked down on him, suffering for a lifetime.

He could also make Liu Er Long suffer for a lifetime; if he did not save her now, he feared she would lose all affection for him.

Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang angrily looked at Qianxunji and coldly said:

"Qianxunji, release Er Long!"

"Let go of my sister!"

Qianxunji shouted angrily, then slapped Yu Xiaogang across the face.

"Smack!"

With a smack, Yu Xiaogang felt a heavy slap on his face and fell straight to the ground.

Seeing this, Liu Er Long asked doubtfully:

"Xiaogang, you just said Qianxunji was your friend, didn't you?"

"But why is he hitting you?"

"Hmph! Friend?" Qianxunji snorted coldly, glanced disdainfully at Yu Xiaogang, and coldly said:

"Someone like Yu Xiaogang, a hypocrite, if he were my friend I'd find him disgusting."

Liu Er Long had always thought that although Yu Xiaogang's soul power could not break through level thirty, he was self-improving and moreover a virtuous gentleman—how could he be a hypocrite?

Thus, Liu Er Long retorted:

"You're talking nonsense; Xiaogang has always been kind and upright—how could he be the hypocrite you claim? You're lying!"

"Heh!" Qianxunji gave a cold smile, stepped on Yu Xiaogang's face with his foot, and said:

"If he were a virtuous gentleman, why, when I grabbed your hand just now, did you ask him to save you, yet he delayed coming to your aid?"

"On the contrary, Fulan De, even knowing I am the Spirit Hall's Pontiff, bravely rushed over to save you."

Upon hearing that, Liu Er Long hurried to defend herself:

"That's because…… because……"

Liu Er Long pondered for a while but could not find a reason to defend Yu Xiaogang.

Thus, she said again:

"But in the end, didn't Yu Xiaogang rush over?"

"Stupid!" Qianxunji cursed directly, saying:

"That was merely Yu Xiaogang rushing out at the end because he feared you would discover his hypocritical true nature."

"I don't believe it." Liu Er Long shook her head, unable to believe this was true in her heart.

She loved Yu Xiaogang so much; why didn't he come to save her? He even fell short of Fulan De.

Qianxunji looked at Liu Er Long doubtingly gazing at Yu Xiaogang, then continued:

"Do you know what that trash Yu Xiaogang has been up to recently?"

"What?" Liu Er Long pressed, sensing vaguely that Qianxunji would reveal something she could not anticipate.

"Ah…… pain, pain, take your foot off!" At that moment, Yu Xiaogang, whose face was being stepped on by Qianxunji, felt excruciating pain in his shoulder, strained his hands to pull on Qianxunji's foot, trying to pry it off.

But Qianxunji's foot pressed on his face like a mountain, and he could not move it at all.

"Trash!" Seeing this, Qianxunji did not lift his foot but instead increased the pressure, making Yu Xiaogang feel as if his whole body were about to explode.

Qianxunji continued:

"Recently, Yu Xiaogang saw our Spirit Hall's Saintess Bibidong, who is heavenly beautiful and kind, so he also pretended to be a virtuous gentleman, a steady man, and won Bibidong's heart."

"Furthermore, he used Bibidong's status as Saintess to steal many of our Spirit Hall's core data, such as his ten major theoretical knowledges, which were mainly derived from researching our Spirit Hall's core data."

"Later, after I discovered him, I instantly saw that this trash was not human; I gave him two choices: one, kill Bibidong and I would spare his life; two, choose to die together with Bibidong. Guess what he chose?"

Upon hearing that, Liu Er Long thought of Yu Xiaogang's integrity, steadiness, and self-improvement before her eyes, and firmly said:

"He chose to die together with Bibidong?"

"Wrong!" Qianxunji barked coldly, his sharp eyes fixed on Liu Er Long's curvaceous figure, and said:

"He chose to kill Bibidong."

"How could that be?" Liu Er Long said, her face full of disbelief.

"How could it be impossible?" Qianxunji retorted:

"If he had chosen to die together with Bibidong, how is he still alive now?"

"I merely set things up so that Bibidong could see Yu Xiaogang's hypocritical act, thereby prompting him to kill Bibidong; as it turned out, he really did kill her."

"In the end, I still saved Bibidong; of course, I also kept my promise and let Yu Xiaogang go."

Having said this, Qianxunji slowly said:

"I just didn't expect that after leaving the Spirit Hall, he still wasn't honest; he deliberately returned to the vicinity of the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Family, waiting for you to appear, then intentionally approached you, making you fall in love with him."

"Damn, Yu Xiaogang is indeed clever, putting on the guise of a master, upright, steady, a true gentleman; this image is extremely lethal for girls like you who are eighteen or nineteen."

Hearing this, Liu Er Long only felt her brain as if struck by a violent shock; she never imagined that her encounter with Yu Xiaogang was deliberately arranged and intentionally approached by Yu Xiaogang.

All for the purpose of making herself fall in love with him, but what could Xiao Gang be doing this for? Liu Er Long couldn't figure it out.

Thus, Liu Er Long stared at Yu Xiaogang on the ground and asked:

"Xiao Gang, is it really as Qianxunji said, that you deliberately approached me?"

"No!"

Yu Xiaogang said without hesitation.

In his view, Qianxunji would definitely not let him off today, and since Liu Er Long has already fallen in love with him, his goal has been achieved, enough to make Yu Luomian and Liu Er Long suffer for a lifetime.

And Qianxunji absolutely has no evidence; he would rather be beaten to death than admit it today.
