Chapter 90: The Lonely Yu Xiaogang

What surprised Tang San even more was that in just a few short years, Li Qing had already established a connection with a Titled Douluo level powerhouse. Wasn't this a bit too outrageous?

How did he do it?

Li Qing laughed, "He's not just saying that out of anger; after all, it's not the first time he's done it, and this isn't about whether he's being foolish or not."

Tang Lu's heart sank, and he tentatively asked, "What does Little Friend Li Qing mean?"

Li Qing said, "You might as well ask him what he's done before deciding whether to interfere. However, I can tell you clearly,

If you want to interfere, the entire Clear Sky Sect will be dragged into this."

Tang Lu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly looked at Yu Xiaogang, "What the hell did you do?"

Yu Xiaogang said nothing.

That slap from Tang Lu had woken him up. He never expected that in just a few years, that little beast would have grown to this extent.

With a Titled Douluo protecting that little beast, his desire for revenge was nothing but a pipe dream.

Unless...

Yu Xiaogang slowly stood up. He looked at Dugu Bo and said forcefully, "Senior Poison Douluo, this is a private matter between him and me. You'd best not interfere."

"Whoosh!"

The surrounding onlookers instantly erupted. That effeminate man actually dared to threaten Dugu Bo.

Where did he get the guts?

Not only the onlookers, but Tang Lu was also shocked by Yu Xiaogang's words.

Yes.

You are Yu Yuanzhen's son, and you have an unclear relationship with Bibi Dong, but they need to be here. You are threatening so openly.

Isn't that just pure suicide?

Tang San and the others also looked at him with shock. He actually dared to threaten a Titled Douluo. How could he be so brave? Who gave him the courage, or was he afraid he wouldn't die fast enough?

"Oh?"

Dugu Bo asked with a half-smile, "Are you trying to bring up Yu Yuanzhen or Bibi Dong? If it's the former, I can tell you clearly, he has already given up on you."

"A few years ago, he told Li Qing that you have nothing to do with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"If it's the latter, do you think she would start a war with us for a good-for-nothing like you? Are you perhaps overestimating yourself?"

"Even if she had the intention, the other Elders of Spirit Hall would not agree."

"Moreover—"

Dugu Bo's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "A mere Spirit Grandmaster dares to threaten this old man. Even if Bibi Dong were here today, you would still have to die."

"Thump!"

Dugu Bo's terrifying might shocked Yu Xiaogang, causing him to retreat several steps. If Flender hadn't supported him, he probably would have fallen flat on his backside.

He's beyond saving.

Tang Lu shook his head helplessly, no longer planning to bother with him.

He might have some value to Little San, but only to Little San. Tang Lu couldn't possibly go head-to-head with Dugu Bo for such insignificant value.

"Xiaogang, what exactly happened?"

Flender was extremely anxious. If Erlong were here, they might still be able to contend with Dugu Bo, and even if they couldn't win, they should be able to escape.

The problem was that Liu Erlong wasn't here.

With just the few of them, even fighting together would be useless, as Dugu Bo was famously skilled in group combat. A hundred people or one made no difference to him.

Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists, but he refused to speak.

Li Qing laughed mockingly, "What's wrong? You dare to do it but not admit it? Aren't you a Grandmaster? Where's your pride?"

"Damn it, just say it!"

Flender was so anxious he wanted to slap him. If you don't say anything, how are we supposed to know if there's any room for negotiation? Are we supposed to die for you for no reason?

"Kill me or dismember me, do as you please. Why all this nonsense?"

Yu Xiaogang glared at Li Qing, preferring death over having his reputation tarnished. After all, he was a Grandmaster; how could he commit such petty acts?

"Uncle!"

Tang San looked at Tang Lu, who merely shook his head without explaining.

Tang San frowned. It seemed Uncle didn't plan to bother with that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang anymore, but if that were the case, how would his Spirit conflict be resolved?

"This Little Friend Li Qing, right?"

Flender couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward, bowing to Li Qing.

Li Qing squinted, "You have no say here. Don't get involved. If you want to die with your good brother, I can grant your wish."

"Flender!"

Zhao Wuji pulled Flender back.

They weren't close to Yu Xiaogang and weren't willing to die for him, but Flender was different. If Flender insisted, they would have no choice but to follow suit.

The result would likely be total annihilation.

Flender looked at Yu Xiaogang, then at Zhao Wuji and the others, and immediately found himself in a dilemma.

Yu Xiaogang was his good brother from the past; how could he stand by and watch him die without doing anything? But if he supported him, what about Zhao Wuji and the others?

Sacrificing several more brothers and three students for one brother?

But if he didn't intervene, what face would he have to live in this world, and what face would he have to meet Erlong? Was he supposed to tell her that Xiaogang died right before his eyes?

Li Yusong saw Flender's difficulty, "Whatever decision you make, I will support you."

"Us too."

Lu Qibin and Shao Xin immediately expressed their stance as well. Although Ma Hongjun and Oscar were extremely nervous, there was no sign of retreat in their expressions.

After all, they had grown up in Shrek since childhood; how could they back down at this moment?

Dai Mubai was different. He had fled from the Star Luo Empire precisely to save his life. How could he throw away his life for a group of people he had known for only a few years?

He quietly retreated to Tang San and Tang Lu's side.

"Sigh!"

Flender couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, he didn't know how to choose, but at this moment, he had an answer in his heart. Xiaogang was his brother, but weren't Li Yusong and the others also his brothers?

If he chose to risk his life to help Xiaogang, how unfair would that be to them?

If there was even a sliver of a chance, it would be worth fighting for, but they had absolutely no chance against Dugu Bo. Taking action would be equivalent to throwing their lives away for nothing.

"Xiaogang, I'm sorry!"

Flender bowed to Yu Xiaogang, then quietly walked to Tang San and Tang Lu's side. Zhao Wuji and the others naturally followed him, moving away from Yu Xiaogang.

In an instant, only Yu Xiaogang was left standing alone.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Flender in disbelief. He never imagined that his good brother would choose to abandon him at a time like this.

Was he still the Flender he knew?

The Flender he knew would even give up the woman he loved for him. How could he abandon him in such a critical moment? Was this reasonable?

"Hahahaha..."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly burst into laughter. As he laughed, tears uncontrollably streamed from the corners of his eyes.
