"Sister, are you alright?!"
Huo Wushuang ran to Huo Wu, examining her closely, his face a mix of joy and concern.
Huo Wu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Brother, with Teacher Qi Lin here, what harm could come to me?"
"It was that old man who used an illusion to lure me out of the city, intending to assassinate me. Teacher Qi Lin effortlessly obliterated him into dust."
Upon hearing this, although Huo Wushuang didn't know who the old man Huo Wu was referring to was, he still respectfully bowed to Teacher Qi Lin, his expression serious.
"Teacher Qi Lin, thank you for saving Huo Wu."
The father of the two, the Blazing Academy Dean, also walked over.
"Young friend Qi Lin, hello. My name is Huo Xuan. I am this girl Huo Wu's father, and also the Dean of Blazing Academy."
"Here, I first sincerely express my gratitude to you, young friend. If it weren't for you, this girl Huo Wu would likely have met a grim fate today."
Qi Lin casually waved his hand and smiled, "It was merely something I did on a whim."
Huo Xuan said gravely, "Regardless, young friend, you have saved Huo Wu's life. From now on, you are a distinguished guest of my Blazing Academy. If there is ever anything you need my help with in the future, please do not hesitate to ask."
Qi Lin smiled and nodded. With his current strength, there was naturally nothing he needed Huo Xuan's help with, but he was very satisfied with Huo Xuan's attitude.
Afterward, Qi Lin exchanged a few more pleasantries with Huo Xuan before leaving with Zhu Zhuqing.
And after today, the news of Shi Nian's assassination attempt on Huo Wu also spread.
Because of his actions, Canghui Academy instantly became like a rat crossing the street, despised by others wherever they went, their conduct deemed shameful.
At Shrek Academy, Flender and Liu Erlong also learned of this news and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Flender snorted coldly, "I didn't expect that old man Shi Nian would resort to such unscrupulous means just to ensure Canghui Academy's victory."
Liu Erlong also clenched her fists fiercely, the air in her palms exploding with a muffled thunder-like sound.
"So, that child Tian Heng was also killed by him? How detestable!"
"If he weren't already dead, I would have blown his head off."
Although Liu Erlong was not very familiar with Yu Tianheng, he was still her nephew.
Moreover, her cousin's family only had Yu Tianheng as a son. With his death, her cousin's family would be without an heir.
Flender sighed and said, "Perhaps this was Yu Tianheng's fate."
Perhaps Yu Tianheng's tragic death reminded them of Yu Xiaogang, who was imprisoned in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. So, Flender and Liu Erlong discussed it and immediately decided to set a date to visit Yu Xiaogang at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!
When Flender and Liu Erlong saw Yu Xiaogang again, they couldn't believe their eyes.
The man before them was disheveled, emitting a foul odor, as if he hadn't bathed in a long time.
In addition, he was extremely emaciated, clearly malnourished, and could easily be mistaken for a beggar.
Flender and Liu Erlong almost didn't recognize the person in front of them as Yu Xiaogang.
"Flender, Erlong, you've come!"
To their surprise, when he saw Flender and Liu Erlong again, Yu Xiaogang appeared quite calm.
However, upon seeing their well-dressed appearance, a hint of brutality flashed in his eyes.
Of course, this brutal emotion was deeply hidden by him, and neither Flender nor Liu Erlong detected any abnormality.
"Xiaogang, how… how did you end up like this?!"
Flender and Liu Erlong's faces showed anger. Although there was a rift in their relationship, they had been friends for over twenty years.
Liu Erlong punched the door frame, instantly shattering it into pieces, then grabbed a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciple who was guarding Yu Xiaogang.
"Who told you to treat Xiaogang like this?!"
The young man caught by Liu Erlong trembled slightly. He hadn't expected Liu Erlong to suddenly arrive today; otherwise, he would have forced Yu Xiaogang to clean himself up a bit.
However, the young man, perhaps emboldened by something, gritted his teeth despite fearing Liu Erlong, and said, "This good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang not only harmed Thunder Douluo but also caused the death of three of my closest relatives. Can't I vent a little on him?"
As a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, although the young man was not familiar with Liu Erlong, he knew a little about her personality, which was why he dared to argue reasonably.
As expected, Liu Erlong's face stiffened when she heard that three of the young man's closest relatives had died because of Yu Xiaogang, and she simultaneously released the young man in front of her.
Yu Xiaogang lowered his head, his crimson eyes flashing for a moment, but he quickly looked up and said with a contrite expression, "Erlong, please don't take your anger out on this young brother because of me. It's not his fault."
"His loved ones died because of me. What does it matter if I suffer a little now?"
"I am willing to endure this. If I die here in the end, it will be a debt repaid with my life."
Flender and Liu Erlong exchanged glances, completely unprepared for such words from Yu Xiaogang.
It seems he has realized his mistake!
They thought to themselves.
Liu Erlong waved her hand at the young man guarding him.
"Alright, you go out first. We want to talk to Xiaogang alone."
Although the young man's impression of Yu Xiaogang had improved somewhat due to his words, he still snorted coldly and then turned to leave.
Once he was far away, Liu Erlong finally sighed.
"Xiaogang, you've suffered during this time. We should have come sooner."
Hypocrite!
Yu Xiaogang thought to himself.
In his opinion, Liu Erlong had abandoned him, watching him being imprisoned in the clan, suffering humiliation and torment.
Such behavior meant she was unworthy of being his friend.
He had truly been blind before, to have liked such a woman.
And Flender, he wasn't a good person either. He kept calling himself his good brother, yet he knew he was imprisoned here and didn't try to rescue him by any means.
Out in the world, not a single one is loyal!
However, Yu Xiaogang also knew that he still needed Flender and Liu Erlong's help to get out of here, so despite the resentment he felt towards them, he dared not show it in the slightest.
On the contrary, he had to appear as if he had completely repented, first earning their trust.
Thinking this, Yu Xiaogang let out a long sigh, looking at Flender and Liu Erlong with a face full of remorse.
"You all know that I wanted to obtain Qi Lin's Soul Power Training Method. My Spirit is incomplete. We are all of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan bloodline, but only my Spirit is a pig, with innate half-level spirit power, destined never to break through level thirty."
"But Qi Lin's Soul Power Training Method showed me hope of breaking through level thirty, which is why I resorted to unscrupulous means to obtain the complete Soul Power Training Method from him."
"Alas, it's all my fault for coveting Qi Lin's Soul Power Training Method; otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen to this point today."
As he spoke, he looked at Flender and Liu Erlong.
"Now I know how terribly wrong I was before. Flender, Erlong, when you go back, please apologize to Qi Lin on my behalf, and also tell him one thing…"
"I, Yu Xiaogang, admit defeat!"
