Chapter 137: Yu Xiaogang: This Storyline Feels Off!

Chapter 137: Yu Xiaogang: This Storyline Feels Off!

"I guess I'm just too honest. If it were any other transmigrator, with Ei's attitude towards his harem, they would probably have a bunch of wives by now." Kong thought to himself, completely unaware of how thick-skinned he actually was.

"Thank you, Miss Yu'er... Yu'er, for clearing up my confusion. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

Kong cupped his hands and said.

Shui Yu'er was stunned. Was Kong really not interested in that, or what? Here she was, a beautiful young woman standing right in front of him, and this guy didn't seem to have any reaction!

Not only that, but he didn't hesitate at all—he was ready to leave!

"Wait, I didn't come all the way to Tiandou City just to discuss this one thing!"

Shui Yu'er screamed internally, but her face remained composed, showing no change in her expression.

"Hey, Kong, it's been a while. Why don't we have a meal together?"

"Uh, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

They weren't that familiar with each other, and having a meal together... wouldn't that be awkward?

"What's inappropriate about it? Meeting by chance is fate. It's just a meal. I was so exhausted after losing so badly last time that I couldn't even train properly for days. Don't you think you should treat me to a meal as an apology?"

Shui Yu'er said this without the slightest hint of embarrassment. She remembered what her senior sister had said: When a girl chases a guy, it's like a thin layer of gauze—if you're thick-skinned enough, you'll succeed in no time.

Shui Yu'er was confident in the advice her senior sisters had given her.

Kong had no idea that after Shui Yu'er returned to Tianshui Academy, she really didn't train seriously. Instead, she sought out senior sisters who had boyfriends or had already graduated and gotten married for advice.

After summing up all the experiences, Shui Yu'er had a revelation!

So, during this vacation, she ran to Tiandou City, hoping to try her luck and see if she could run into Kong again.

And clearly, her luck was pretty good.

Hearing this, Kong thought for a moment before nodding. "You're right, I didn't consider it enough. But dealing with a Soul Grandmaster doesn't require using my Darkgold Terrorclaw. Even fighting barehanded would've been enough. What I did was somewhat unfair, relying on my spirit bone. I'm sorry, Miss Yu'er."

Shui Yu'er was speechless. Was this guy really apologizing? She felt like Kong was implying that she was weak, so weak that he didn't even need to use his spirit bone or martial spirit to defeat her!

If you don't know how to apologize, just don't!

Shui Yu'er screamed internally.

"Let's go, Miss Yu'er, I'll treat you to something delicious to make up for my previous rashness. Please don't refuse!"

Shui Yu'er: "..."

Suddenly, she didn't feel like eating anymore. What should she do?

Shaking her head to cast aside the complicated feelings in her mind, Shui Yu'er thought, 'Kong may be a bit too straightforward, but it's not a big deal.'

She could still accept it. At the end of the day, she just needed Kong to stay quiet and be a handsome guy!

"If the food isn't good, I won't accept your apology!"

Shui Yu'er raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Kong's eye twitched as he internally rolled his eyes, then led Shui Yu'er towards the restaurant.

Meanwhile, at Tiandou Royal Academy, Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang stared at each other.

Yu Xiaogang had a stern expression, as if everyone owed him tens of thousands of gold soul coins.

But deep down, he was uneasy. Seeing Liu Erlong again stirred feelings of guilt, but in order to achieve his dreams, there were some things he had to learn to let go of.

Flender stood to the side, dumbfounded. The situation had developed beyond his understanding.

By all logic, when these two met, given Liu Erlong's fiery personality, she should've immediately grabbed Yu Xiaogang and said something like, "This time, I won't let you run away!"

But what was going on with Liu Erlong's calm demeanor?

It was too quiet. This wasn't like Liu Erlong at all!

"Let me ask you something—do you recognize this jade pendant?"

After a long while, Liu Erlong finally spoke to Yu Xiaogang.

After she finished speaking, Liu Erlong carefully observed Yu Xiaogang's expression.

Yu Xiaogang was stunned at first. This situation didn't seem right—wasn't Liu Erlong supposed to rush over and grab him? He had even prepared his rejection speech, but it wasn't needed.

He glanced at the jade pendant hanging from Liu Erlong's waist and instinctively said, "Isn't this the proof your father—my second uncle—gave you, so that the disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would know you're his daughter? But, my second uncle was too concerned about his reputation and didn't dare bring you back to the clan."

Yu Xiaogang had seen this jade pendant when he was younger, but one day, Yu Luomian had given it away.

After so many years, Yu Xiaogang couldn't remember all the details clearly. He vaguely recalled that when Yu Luomian was summoned, it was this jade pendant that confirmed Liu Erlong was his daughter.

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong's face changed. So it was true?

This jade pendant had never been discussed by Yu Luomian or herself regarding its true origin. Liu Erlong had always claimed it was her mother's keepsake!

Seeing this, Flender's face also changed. He had known Liu Erlong longer than Yu Xiaogang and naturally knew the history between them.

As a commoner, Flender had no idea what significance Liu Erlong's jade pendant held.

If Yu Xiaogang recognized the pendant when he first met Liu Erlong, why did he still pursue her?

At this thought, Flender narrowed his eyes, and his gaze toward Yu Xiaogang shifted.

"Yu Xiaogang, to be honest, I didn't expect you to say this. I thought you'd play dumb and try to cover it up!"

Liu Erlong's voice was cold, and a flash of killing intent passed through her eyes as she looked at Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang was the kind of person who would do something like this just to achieve his goals!

All these years, Liu Erlong realized she had been blind!

And because of this, she had even driven away her beloved nephew!

Yu Xiaogang, you're courting death!

Hearing these words, even if Yu Xiaogang was slow, he now realized Liu Erlong had set him up!

Wait, something wasn't right.

Why did Liu Erlong suddenly bring this up?

Yu Xiaogang was completely baffled. Could it be that because of a single jade pendant, Liu Erlong had discovered his deception all those years ago?

Impossible. That couldn't be it!

Liu Erlong wasn't smart enough to figure all that out!

"Erlong, this was all told to me by my second uncle after he broke us up. Isn't it normal for me to know?"

Yu Xiaogang tried to salvage the situation. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing. Liu Erlong liked him so much—there had to be someone stirring up trouble between them. Otherwise, with Liu Erlong's intelligence, how could she have figured this out?

"My father wishes he could kill you. You think he'd tell you something like that for fun?"

Liu Erlong laughed in anger. Even now, Yu Xiaogang was still trying to deceive her!

Yu Xiaogang: "..."

Liu Erlong's intelligence was back online—what was he supposed to do now?

Her words hit the mark perfectly, leaving Yu Xiaogang without any room for rebuttal. After all, if it weren't for Yu Yuanzhen…
