Chapter 132: Golden Iron Triangle Breaks Up, Really a Lickdog
Flandre's breath caught suddenly, his eyes widened as he stared at Liu Erlong in front of him.
He wondered if he had misheard.
Given his relationship with Liu Erlong, he should absolutely not be evaluated like this by her.
To clarify the situation, Flandre blinked and asked tentatively.
"Erlong, what were you just saying?"
Liu Erlong looked at Flandre and snorted coldly, without mercy.
"How long are you going to keep pretending?"
"I already said it earlier—Luo Ye told me everything, and I now know the true nature of you and Shilaike Academy. Are you still trying to fool me like an idiot?"
"Seeing your description of Shilaike Academy in the letter, I really thought you had achieved great things in this area, and you had me spinning."
"As it turns out, all of this was obtained through your deceit, and you even treat the students as tools for profit, even suppressing them in various ways to try to make them your loyal followers."
Liu Erlong's gaze swept over Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar, and a hint of mockery appeared on her beautiful face.
"If I'm not mistaken, these few students are among the victims."
As Liu Erlong's words fell, Flandre's pupils contracted sharply, his face full of disbelief and existential doubt.
He never expected that coming to Blue Overlord Academy to find Liu Erlong would actually lead to this situation.
Flandre could clearly feel Liu Erlong's contemptuous gaze toward him.
It was obvious that after learning the true nature of Shilaike Academy, his image in her mind had plummeted, even to the point of disgrace like Yu Xiaogang.
Even knowing that Liu Erlong's words were true, Flandre absolutely could not admit it, otherwise Shilaike Academy would truly be unable to continue existing.
Thinking of this, Flandre put on a hurt look, gazing sorrowfully at Liu Erlong as he questioned her.
"Erlong, do you really think, based on Luo Ye's one-sided account, that I and my old friend Xiaogang are that kind of person?"
"Don't you forget that we three are the true Golden Iron Triangle, partners who have gone through many things together?"
"Although I don't know why you trust Luo Ye so much, I can swear that the one who truly deceived you is Luo Ye, otherwise may I die a bad death!"
Flandre still wanted to try to win back Liu Erlong's affection, to have her accept him and Yu Xiaogang again, and not believe Luo Ye's slander against them.
After all, in his view, Liu Erlong and Luo Ye had only just met, so they absolutely wouldn't trust him too much.
It's a pity that he never imagined Liu Erlong and Luo Ye had already formed a bond through the Diary.
After listening to Luo Ye's fabricated stories, Liu Erlong had already come to fully believe his words and thoroughly understood their true nature.
Now hearing Flandre's feeble explanation only makes Liu Erlong look down on him even more.
Liu Erlong gave Flandre no face at all, directly launching a furious tirade, bringing out Qin Ming and Tang San's soul rings as evidence.
She also bluntly said that few students successfully graduate from Shilaike Academy; most either die in the Soul Hunting Operation or are killed by others in the Battle Soul Arena.
Shilaike Academy's teaching method is extremely explosive even when viewed across the entire Battle Soul Continent.
Facing Liu Erlong's exposure of his secrets, Flandre's face turned ashen, and he finally understood why Yu Xiaogang would rather pretend to be unconscious than continue facing Liu Erlong.
If possible, Flandre truly wishes he could also pass out, at least then he wouldn't have to endure Liu Erlong's interrogation.
Zhao Wuji, Tang San, and the others nearby looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling a bit sorrowful.
Previously Flandre was so confident that no matter how they persuaded him, he was determined to come to Heavenly Battle City to rely on Liu Erlong's Blue Overlord Academy.
They had all resigned themselves, feeling that even with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as a huge threat, they would likely have to stay in Heavenly Battle City.
But now it seems Flandre's plan is bound to fail completely.
Liu Erlong's behavior already counts as breaking ties with Flandre and Yu Xiaogang, making it impossible for them to join Blue Overlord Academy.
In that case, Shilaike Academy will truly have to head to the Star Luo Empire to develop.
Thinking this, Tang San glanced at Dai Mubai beside him and fell into contemplation.
Through Dai Mubai's description, Tang San also learned how the Star Luo Empire contends for the throne.
Dai Mubai's talent may be stronger than Dai Weisi's, but Dai Weisi still has the age advantage.
Furthermore, Dai Mubai's earlier choice to avoid confrontation with Dai Weisi will certainly cause the Star Luo Emperor and his ministers to view him in the worst possible light.
If nothing unexpected happens, in this throne struggle Dai Mubai is absolutely no match for Dai Weisi.
Therefore, even if Shilaike Academy reaches the Star Luo Empire and relies on Dai Mubai to gain a foothold, later they must also establish a good relationship with Dai Weisi.
Only then can Shilaike Academy continue to stand firm after Dai Weisi inherits the Star Luo Emperor's throne.
However, for Tang San, the fate of Shilaike Academy isn't that important; what he truly values is the yet-to-be-established Tang Sect.
Tang San believes he can fully rely on the Star Luo Empire to let them rise as quickly as possible.
As long as he can manufacture their hidden weapons, he can help the Star Luo Empire gain the upper hand in its contest with the Heavenly Battle Empire, and he, as the Tang Sect Sect Master, can thereby become an honored guest of the Star Luo Empire.
Even if Dai Weisi wins the throne struggle, he will only win over him and the Tang Sect, and will not target them because of his relationship with Dai Mubai.
Of course, if there were a choice, Tang San would naturally hope Dai Mubai wins.
But whether or not to help Dai Mubai will have to wait until they reach the Star Luo Empire and decide based on the situation.
Just as Tang San was thinking about how to forge the Tang Sect into a top sect of the Battle Soul Continent, Yu Xiaogang finally could no longer endure the humiliation; he stopped lying on the ground feigning unconsciousness and instead stood up directly.
Yu Xiaogang glared at Flandre with frustration, wishing he could forge him into steel.
He truly had no idea what this guy was thinking.
Clearly Liu Erlong's behavior already showed she wanted to break ties with them, yet Flandre not only didn't get angry, but acted as if he would just let things be, preparing to shrink back completely.
Flandre this guy, truly a shameless lickdog.
