Chapter 116 Yu Xiaogang Breaks Through His Defenses
"I'm just a Grand Soul Master, a useless piece of trash who can never break through to the third ring, right?"
"Yes, you are the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, how could I possibly be worthy of you?" Yu Xiaogang laughed, a self-deprecating laugh.
Bibi Dong looked guilty and whispered, "Xiao Gang, I'm sorry. I was young and impulsive and didn't know any better. I hurt you."
Xiaogang, you're a good person, but we're just not a good match.
The thought of living with you for the rest of my life... I just can't do it.
These words struck a nerve with Yu Xiaogang's fragile sense of inferiority.
Although Bibi Dong phrased it rather tactfully, her words clearly conveyed her disdain for him.
To Yu Xiaogang, the phrase "I was young and ignorant" meant, "I was blind to have fallen for you. Now that I've discovered how terrible you are, get out of here. You're not good enough for me."
Yu Xiaogang clutched his chest and staggered back several steps.
It felt like I'd been hit with a critical strike of ten thousand points.
But then Bibi Dong spoke up again: "Xiao Gang, there's something I want to ask you."
"What is it?" Yu Xiaogang asked in a dry voice, his face filled with disappointment and pain, as if he had lost all his strength.
Bibi Dong said, "Xiao Gang, tell me honestly, did your family send you to approach me?"
After speaking, Bibi Dong stared intently at Yu Xiaogang, her face filled with unease and trepidation, as if she was afraid of hearing the answer she least wanted to hear from him.
These words were spoken.
Yu Xiaogang was jolted awake, a flicker of panic crossing his eyes as his thoughts were exposed.
He never expected Bibi Dong to ask such a question, and for a moment he stood there dumbfounded, at a loss for words.
Did Bibi Dong think that she approached her because of her status as a saintess?
Although I did deliberately get close to her, it has nothing to do with my family!
A moment later, a look of sadness at being wronged and distrusted appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face. His lips drooped slightly, and his eyes revealed deep disappointment.
"Dong'er, do you think I approached you with ulterior motives? Is there no trust left between us?"
Bibi Dong remained silent.
Yu Xiaogang thought to himself, "Why does Bibi Dong seem to have suddenly become smarter?"
Suddenly, as if he had guessed the truth, he said in a fit of anger, "I know, it was Qian Xunji, it was Qian Xunji who told you, right? Dong'er, don't believe him, he's slandering me and trying to break us up..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bibi Dong raised her hand and slapped Yu Xiaogang to the ground with a loud crack.
Bibi Dong was, after all, a Soul Emperor. With that slap, Yu Xiaogang was completely disoriented.
He spun around once, then gracefully rolled on the ground.
"Dong'er, you hit me?" Yu Xiaogang covered his face, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Bibi Dong said with slight anger, "No matter what, he is still my teacher. You should at least show him some respect."
Do you really think I'm stupid? You approached me just to use my identity to get into the library, didn't you? Yu Xiaogang, I must have been blind to believe you before.
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's body trembled again, and a look of panic flashed across his eyes.
Immediately, he deliberately put on a hurt expression and said, "So, that's how you see me?"
Bibi Dong glanced at him with disgust. "Alright, Yu Xiaogang, you can leave now. The Spirit Hall doesn't welcome you. Don't ever look for me again."
Yu Xiaogang was also furious. "Bibi Dong, no matter what, you still look down on me just like everyone else."
"After saying all that, you still can't let go of the power and wealth of the Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression gradually changed. She lowered her head and looked down at Yu Xiaogang with disdain, as if she were looking at a reptile.
"Was I too good-tempered before? To the point that a mere Great Soul Master like you, a piece of trash at the half-level of the Innate Realm, dares to speak to me like that?"
"Heh, Bibi Dong, you still look down on me just like everyone else." Yu Xiaogang chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Bibi Dong waved her hand impatiently, as if shooing away a fly, and said, "You can get lost now."
Yu Xiaogang has passed away, leaving behind a message before he left.
"Compared to the east and west of the river, fortunes change every thirty years; never underestimate the potential of the young."
Today you ignore me, but one day you'll be begging for my attention.
Yu Xiaogang's figure gradually faded into the distance until it disappeared completely.
At that moment, a dark shadow floated out of Bibi Dong's body and landed beside her.
Bibi Dong, now free, looked sorrowful. "Why? I just wanted to be with the person I love. What did I do wrong?"
Lin Ye shook his head and said, "To gain one thing, you will inevitably lose another."
There is no love without a reason in this world.
Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall has nurtured you for many years, investing countless resources in you, and the Pope himself has personally instructed you.
Wealth, cultivation resources, power—things that others strive for their entire lives—are within your grasp.
You've gotten so much from the Spirit Hall, and now you want to just walk away? There's no such thing as a free lunch.
All you do is take without giving back; that's you, a complete ingrate.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was shocked. She retorted, "No, that's not how it is. I haven't forgotten my teacher's guidance. The Spirit Hall is also my home."
Lin Ye shook his head. "What a person says is just empty promises. What's important is what they do."
And you, you keep saying you treat the Spirit Hall as your own, yet you want to be with the people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. Don't you know that the three upper sects and the Spirit Hall are enemies?
Forget it, talking to a brainless idiot like you is like casting pearls before swine.
You're the kind of person who's selfish and always thinks that other people's efforts are a given.
After saying that, Lin Ye turned and walked towards the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong stood there, stunned, unable to recover for a long time.
Only knows how to take, never knows how to give back, is ungrateful, selfish and self-serving...
Lin Ye's words kept echoing in her ears.
"Am I really like that?" Bibi Dong couldn't help but ask herself.
On the other side, Qian Xunji looked at Lin Ye as he walked into the Papal Palace with a smile on his face.
He had been keeping an eye on everything happening outside.
It has to be said that Lin Ye's acting skills are truly impeccable; it's such a pity he doesn't pursue acting.
Qian Xunji naturally disapproved of Yu Xiaogang's seduction of his apprentice, but out of respect for his status and considering that Yu Xiaogang was Yu Yuanzhen's son, he didn't make things too difficult for him.
Qian Xunji found Lin Ye's actions quite satisfying.
Although Lin Ye didn't use any profanities throughout the entire process, she ripped open Yu Xiaogang's wounds, accurately hitting his sore spot and his fragile self-esteem.
Most importantly, his beloved apprentice seemed to have a change of heart because of his son-in-law's words.
If Lin Ye knew what Qian Xunji was thinking, he would definitely laugh at his naivety. You can't imagine how terrifying a love-struck person can be.
