Chapter 86 Yu Xiaogang's Distressed Escape from Spirit City
[Qian Xunji issued the order, and the two titled Douluo, Dragon Scale and Iron Wall, personally took charge.]
Soon after, Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang encountered various troubles while spending time together.
[It was as if a few thugs suddenly appeared, provoking Yu Xiaogang and trying to steal Bibi Dong away.]
[Some were even more direct, coming up and saying they had their eyes on Bibi Dong and wanted to fight Yu Xiaogang one-on-one.]
[Anyway, the various provocations kept Bibi Dong extremely annoyed.]
Bibi Dong was simply annoyed, but Yu Xiaogang's feelings were far more complicated.
[Because those who wanted to take Bibi Dong away from him came before them and, without a doubt, spread the idea that beautiful women are only fit for strong men.]
Although these people were often eventually driven away by the powerful Bibi Dong.
But before leaving, these people would all leave behind the comment, "You spineless coward who only knows how to hide behind women."
This statement was incredibly damaging to Yu Xiaogang.
[Because this was precisely the biggest problem that Yu Xiaogang was unwilling to mention or think about, yet it always existed, during his time with Bibi Dong.]
Bibi Dong is the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, a super genius with innate full soul power and twin spirits.
In her presence, he always felt like a weakling.
The repeated provocations that came knocking only intensified Yu Xiaogang's feelings of inferiority.
He quickened his search for the books, hoping to find a way to help himself.
He went through document after document, but still couldn't find what he was looking for.
It was at this moment that Bibi Dong suddenly disappeared.
For more than ten days, Yu Xiaogang searched everywhere, but still couldn't find any trace of her.
"Could it be that she also thinks I'm worthless, and that's why she doesn't want to see me?"
[Yu Xiaogang thought to himself, lost and dejected.]
Just then, a member of the Spirit Hall approached Yu Xiaogang.
"The Pope requests your presence."
Led by members of the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang arrived at the Papal Palace.
[Qian Xunji, dressed in papal robes, holding a scepter, and wearing a papal crown, stood expressionless on the high place.]
[Below, the two Douluo-level figures of Dragon Scale and Iron Wall stand at opposite ends.]
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang swallowed hard, his legs trembling slightly.
Please.
The Spirit Hall member standing next to Yu Xiaogang glanced at him disdainfully.
[With this much audacity, they dare to covet our Holy Maiden?]
[Overestimating one's abilities!]
Urged on by the members of the Spirit Hall, Yu Xiaogang, with somewhat uncontrollable steps, arrived below Qian Xunji.
"You're the Yu Xiaogang that the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall was talking about?"
Qian Xunji's gaze sharpened, and a pressure pressed down on Yu Xiaogang.
The overwhelming aura of a powerful figure pressed down on him, and Yu Xiaogang almost instantly knelt on the ground.
His face flushed red as he tried to get up, but unfortunately, he couldn't.
The Dragon Scale Douluo standing to the side frowned; he could hardly bear to watch any longer.
As Yu Yuanzhen's good brother, he should have taken care of his good brother's son.
[Given what Yu Xiaogang had shown, he really had no desire to help him.]
"Answer my question, you are Yu Xiaogang?"
Qian Xunji's voice suddenly intensified, and the pressure on Yu Xiaogang increased again.
"...Yes, it's me."
[Yu Xiaogang spoke hesitantly.]
"Hmph, what a scoundrel Yu Xiaogang! You're from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the son of Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen!"
"Someone like you, coming to my Spirit City, shouldn't be keeping a low profile. You actually dared to steal knowledge from my Spirit Hall through the Holy Maiden!"
"What is your crime?!"
[Thump!]
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Xunji slammed his scepter heavily against the ground.
[Unable to answer the pressure from Qian Xunji's soul power and his verbal accusations, Yu Xiaogang was at a loss for words.]
Under the pressure from Qian Xunji, he felt he might die here today.
Driven by his survival instinct, he began to defend himself.
"I am the son of a Title Douluo, you cannot kill me!"
"I...I didn't peek at your books either. Those books...those books were given to me by Bibi Dong."
"She thought I was exceptionally knowledgeable, which is why she showed me those books."
[Yu Xiaogang said, trembling.]
"Hmph, you'll look at it just because she gave it to you? She's the Holy Maiden of my Spirit Hall, and what about you? What is your status?"
[Qian Xunji said angrily.]
Yu Xiaogang remained silent, but his body continued to tremble.
"Besides that, I've also heard from my subordinates that you have some inappropriate thoughts about our Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden."
"Hehe, I wonder if this is true or false?"
Qian Xunji said with a forced smile.
Hearing the coldness in Qian Xunji's words, Yu Xiaogang understood that if he dared to say it was true, the other party would probably really attack him, even if his father was a Title Douluo.
Furthermore, Yu Xiaogang had absolutely no idea how Qian Xunji would treat him; he might beat him up, or he might take his life.
Thus, a multiple-choice question was placed before Yu Xiaogang.
[It was at the risk of being beaten to death, but rather following one's own heart and admitting one's feelings for Bibi Dong.]
[It's better to say no and protect yourself.]
[The image of Bibi Dong's radiant smile flashed through Yu Xiaogang's mind.]
[Next came the faces of those who had mocked, humiliated, and subjected him to humiliation.]
No, I absolutely cannot die. I haven't proven myself yet, haven't made those who mocked me regret it.
I haven't yet made my father regret his past neglect of me, nor have I made the sect elders regret their actions.
[I haven't even managed to do all of this yet, how can I die here?]
[And so, Bibi Dong's smiling face gradually faded from his mind.]
Finally, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth.
"Your Holiness, these are all rumors. The Holy Maiden and I only had a simple exchange about the theories of martial souls."
"Haha, good, it's just a rumor!"
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's reply, Qian Xunji burst into laughter. Although Yu Xiaogang displeased him, at this moment, he felt that the other party was at least sensible.
[The Dragon Scale Douluo standing to the side had his eyes closed, too lazy to even look at Yu Xiaogang anymore.]
He truly felt it was unfair to his old friend.
"Although it's just a rumor, it will still affect the reputation of our Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden."
"And you've already seen so many of our Spirit Hall's closely guarded secrets."
["According to the rules of the Spirit Hall, this kind of crime requires the loss of cultivation as punishment."]
Upon hearing Qian Xunji's words, Yu Xiaogang nearly collapsed.
["No, no, Your Holiness the Pope, you can't do this! Please don't do this!"]
Seeing Yu Xiaogang pleading with him, Qian Xunji's eyes flashed with obvious disgust.
"But out of respect for your father, Yu Yuanzhen, we'll let you off this time."
"I don't want to hear any news that you're still in Spirit City before the sun sets today."
"If I find out you didn't leave, Yu Yuanzhen's influence might have saved you this time, but it won't be the same next time."
As soon as Qian Xunji finished speaking, he withdrew his soul power.
Yu Xiaogang sat there blankly for a moment, then tried to get up, only to find that his legs had no strength at all.
[Giving Yu Xiaogang another look of disgust, Qian Xunji summoned the guards, who dragged him out of the Papal Palace and dumped him on the bustling street.]
The small figure thrown out by the guards attracted the attention of passersby who stopped to watch.
[Yu Xiaogang, being scrutinized, wished he could disappear into the ground. He wanted to escape, but his legs were too weak to get up.]
Finally, after recovering, Yu Xiaogang didn't even bother to go back to his residence to pack his belongings; he simply left Spirit City.
[His disheveled appearance was like that of a stray dog.]
