Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 53: Dugu Bo Returns from Seclusion

"Did you know? Xiao Yu, I've attended my uncle's birthday celebrations a few times before, but I was always brought back by my father. Those times, aside from my uncle and my father, no one treated me kindly! A few times, I didn't even have a chair to sit on...

But this time, because of you, I've received an invitation for the first time. Getting this invitation proves that I'm no longer the dispensable illegitimate daughter but the respected dean of the Blue Tyrant Academy, someone even the clan values!"

Listening to Liu Erlong pour out her heart, which had been suppressed for who knows how long, Xiao Yu gently hugged her. Then, as she looked at him in confusion, he slowly spoke:

"Teacher, don't worry. I'm now the person the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has explicitly chosen to nurture. From now on, with me here, I won't let anyone bully you!

Not even your stepmother, or even your father!! When we return to the clan this time, I'll make sure everyone sees what a powerful backer you have now!"

Although Liu Erlong felt like Xiao Yu's words were somewhat of a joke, she was still deeply moved. She hugged him back tightly.

No matter what, at least Xiao Yu was willing to stand up for her.

Soon, feeling Xiao Yu's sincerity, Liu Erlong couldn't help but quietly sob in his arms.

Tears of emotion streamed from her eyes, quickly soaking Xiao Yu's clothes.

Xiao Yu stroked Liu Erlong's hair, his face filled with heartache.

After hearing Liu Erlong's heartfelt words, Xiao Yu finally understood just how much Liu Erlong had sacrificed for Yu Xiaogang in the original story.

For him, Liu Erlong had been willing to break ties with her father, leave her family, abandon the academy she had worked so hard to build, and even change the Blue Tyrant Academy's name to Shrek Academy. She had endured the scorn of her family and society, and she had given up any chance of returning to her family.

And even after all that, Yu Xiaogang had remained distant and uncommitted!

If it hadn't been for Tang San's eventual ascension to godhood, which gave Yu Xiaogang some sense of pride, he might never have accepted Liu Erlong's feelings!

Compared to Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, as an illegitimate daughter, had more reasons to give up on this relationship. But she didn't.

Even if it meant bearing the world's condemnation, she was willing to be with Yu Xiaogang...

"Xiaogang, Xiaogang, calling you a coward would be an insult to the word 'cowardice.' I hope you don't cling to Teacher in the future. Otherwise, even if it makes her unhappy, I'll take care of you!"

That night, Xiao Yu didn't make any moves.

Instead, he simply held Liu Erlong and slept peacefully.

Meanwhile, in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, although it was late at night, Ning Fengzhi and the two Douluos, Sword and Bone, were still discussing something in his study.

"Fengzhi, are you really going to let Rongrong attend the Blue Tyrant Academy? That kid doesn't seem like a good person!"

Gu Rong asked with a grim expression.

"That's right. I've thought about it for a long time, and I think letting Rongrong get close to that kid might be a good choice! Besides, Uncle Bone, Rongrong is more capable than you think. Her reputation as the 'Little Devil' isn't for nothing! Do you really think Rongrong would fall for a boy she's only known for a month?"

Ning Fengzhi said with a faint smile.

A father knows his daughter best.

Just from that morning's meeting, Ning Fengzhi could tell that Rongrong had no real feelings for that boy.

It was likely that Rongrong's closeness to him was for another reason entirely!

As for what that reason was, Ning Fengzhi had asked Rongrong, but she always avoided the topic.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi considering this from the clan's perspective, Sword and Bone Douluo, who doted on Rongrong, were more emotional and didn't want to see her being deceived!

Seeing their expressions, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but smile helplessly and continued:

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, you know that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, Yu Yuanzhen's birthday is coming up, right?"

"Yes, we've received the invitation!"

"But what does that have to do with that kid?"

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, from what I've heard, that kid has also received an invitation. And because of him, even his teacher has received a formal invitation from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Hearing this, Sword and Bone Douluo were shocked.

If what Ning Fengzhi said was true, then that kid's status in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was even higher than they had imagined.

Within the clan, as the leader, Yu Yuanzhen's birthday was an event that all clan members were required to attend.

As Liu Erlong's disciple, Xiao Yu would naturally have to attend, so there was no need for an invitation.

But this time, Xiao Yu had been formally invited.

This alone showed just how much the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan valued Xiao Yu!

"But Fengzhi, that kid is too much of a playboy..."

Chen Xin spoke up again.

Despite everything, Chen Xin, who doted on Ning Rongrong, insisted on his point.

Gu Rong also nodded in agreement.

To this, Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly.

"Hehe, Uncle Sword, being a playboy is normal for men. What matters is whether he has the capital to be one. Xiao Yu has garnered such attention from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which might mean he already has that qualification.

Besides, Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, don't forget that Dugu Yan isn't a simple character either! Her grandfather, Dugu Bo, has a sharp eye. If he's already investing in Xiao Yu, perhaps we should consider doing the same!"

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Sword and Bone Douluo fell into deep thought.

At this point, it seemed there was no better option than to follow Ning Fengzhi's lead.

After all, aside from being a bit of a playboy, Xiao Yu's abilities were top-notch...

As night turned to day, Xiao Yu brought breakfast to Dugu Yan's dorm.

As soon as he entered, he saw Dugu Yan massaging Dugu Bo's back.

"Grandpa Dugu, you've come out of seclusion?!"

Seeing Dugu Bo, Xiao Yu's face lit up with excitement.

After Dugu Bo had said he was going into seclusion in the Sunset Forest for a while, Xiao Yu had thought it would only be for a few days.

But it had lasted until now.

"Yes, I've come out. I had some insights recently, so I stayed in seclusion a bit longer. I wanted to see if I could break through the level 92 barrier that's been holding me back for over a decade. But due to the toxins accumulated in my body, I still couldn't break through to level 92."

Dugu Bo spoke with a hint of helplessness.

"Grandpa, don't worry. Once Xiao Yu reaches the Soul Emperor level, he'll be able to help you detoxify. Then, you'll finally be able to break through your limits."

Dugu Yan chimed in from the side.
