Chapter 56 (Bonus Chapter)

**Chapter 56: You Must Not Be Taken Back**  

"So what if she's from the Spirit Hall? Big brother, why do you have such a strong prejudice against Miss Dong'er? She's nothing like the others in the Spirit Hall. Miss Dong'er is beautiful, gentle, and kind. She's not cruel at all!"  

Despite being unable to move properly due to his injuries, Yu Xiaogang's anger flared at his brother's words. He could barely contain his frustration, furious that his "White Moonlight" was being insulted.  

If his body had allowed it, he might have jumped up and confronted Yu Xiaolong right then and there.  

"Prejudice? When have I ever shown prejudice, Xiaogang?" Yu Xiaolong's voice was tinged with both anger and disbelief. "That woman, Bibi Dong, is from the Spirit Hall. They are our enemies—the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and the other two upper sects.  

"And now, not only are you infatuated with her, but you're also arguing with your own brother because of her? Have you forgotten the family values? The eldest brother is like a father, or have you decided to throw that teaching out the window too?"  

Yu Xiaolong's frustration grew. He had doubted the servant's report about his brother's obsession, but hearing Yu Xiaogang's words firsthand only confirmed it.  

Yu Xiaogang stiffened under his elder brother's glare, but he wasn't willing to back down. Swallowing his fear, he retorted, "Don't use your status as the eldest brother to suppress me! Miss Dong'er and I love each other. I like her, and she likes me.  

"When I was injured in the ring, Miss Dong'er personally wiped the blood from my mouth and gave me her silk handkerchief as a token of love. One day, I'll convince her to leave the Spirit Hall and join our family!"  

Yu Xiaolong let out a dry laugh, his expression incredulous. If he hadn't spoken to witnesses at the Great Fighting Soul Arena, he might have been fooled by Yu Xiaogang's earnestness.  

Yes, Bibi Dong had wiped blood from Yu Xiaogang's face, but the truth was far less romantic. According to the spectators, she had immediately thrown the handkerchief on the ground in disgust. Yu Xiaogang, in his delusion, had picked it up and sniffed it obsessively, which enraged Bibi Dong to the point of knocking him unconscious—again.  

The idea that Yu Xiaogang believed this was some romantic gesture was laughable.  

While a small part of Yu Xiaolong wished his brother's fantasy were true—Bibi Dong joining their family would deal a heavy blow to the Spirit Hall—he knew better. She wasn't foolish enough to leave her position as the Pope's protégé for someone like Yu Xiaogang.  

His brother's delusion was becoming an embarrassment.  

"Xiaogang," Yu Xiaolong said coldly, "Father himself has ordered your return. Whether you agree or not, you're going back.  

"He was furious when he heard what happened to you at the Great Fighting Soul Arena. If you refuse, I'll break your legs and carry you back myself. Don't test me."  

Yu Xiaogang's face paled at his elder brother's unyielding tone. He knew Yu Xiaolong wasn't bluffing. If he resisted, his brother would indeed cripple him and drag him home.  

After a moment of tense silence, Yu Xiaogang reluctantly nodded. "Fine. Since Father has commanded it, I'll go back.  

"But before we leave, could you thank the management of the Great Fighting Soul Arena on my behalf? They've taken good care of me during this time."  

Yu Xiaolong's expression softened slightly. "I was planning to thank them anyway. Rest here until I return. Once that's done, we'll head back tonight."  

With that, Yu Xiaolong turned and left the private room. He gave firm instructions to the two family guards stationed outside.  

"Keep an eye on the Second Young Master. Don't let him leave, not even for a moment. Understand?"  

The two guards lowered their heads respectfully. "Yes, Eldest Young Master. We'll make sure he doesn't take even half a step out of this room."  

"Good," Yu Xiaolong said before walking away with the rest of his entourage.

Once his brother was gone, Yu Xiaogang's expression darkened. 'I can't let them take me back.'  

If he returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, his movements would be restricted, and he'd never have the chance to see Miss Dong'er again. The very thought of Bibi Dong falling into Zhao Ling's arms made his blood boil.  

'No! Miss Dong'er belongs to me. She can only be mine. I have to escape before my brother returns.'  

Driven by desperation, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and forced himself out of bed. Every movement sent waves of pain through his body, but he clenched his jaw and pushed forward, leaning heavily on the wall for support.  

Spotting a wooden bench nearby, Yu Xiaogang bent down with great difficulty to pick it up. The strain made him nearly collapse, but his sheer determination kept him conscious.  

Once he steadied himself, he let out a weak, pitiful howl. "Ahhh, it hurts! Somebody, help me! Please, come quickly!"  

His cries, reminiscent of a pig being slaughtered, caught the attention of the guards outside.  

"What's wrong with the Second Young Master now?" one guard muttered. "If someone didn't know better, they'd think we're killing a pig in here."  

"Should we check on him?" the other guard suggested. "If something happens to him, we'll be in deep trouble with the Eldest Young Master."  

"You can go if you want. I'm not going in there. Who knows what kind of mess he's made?"  

"Fine, I'll check," the first guard grumbled. "You're such a coward."
