112: The Lion King Douluo is here! (Two-in-one)

The city's commotion didn't end for a while.

City Lord Xiao left with Yu Xiaogang, and no one intercepted them.

Hu Liena couldn't bear to watch any longer and left with the Spirit Hall Spirit Masters.

If she didn't leave now, she feared the people she brought would defect on the spot and join the Azure Dragon Temple!

Returning to a hotel.

Hu Liena had a gloomy expression, and the more she thought about it, the clearer things became.

Her teacher had sent her here to escort him; was such importance really just for a wretched man like Yu Xiaogang?

In terms of cultivation, she was not as good as Bibi Dong.

But in matters between men and women, she felt her teacher was still too naive and easily deceived by wretched men.

And now, it was obvious that Yu Xiaogang perfectly fit her criteria for a wretched man.

An old man of few words.

With no real ability and unable to take responsibility.

No matter how she looked at it, such a man shouldn't be worth her teacher's concern!

If she followed the original plan, wouldn't that bind her teacher even more deeply to him?

That would be equivalent to harming her teacher!

But to disobey her teacher... she didn't want to do that.

She had to find a way to satisfy both... also, City Lord Xiao actually had the Azure Dragon Temple behind him.

Today's events had already proven it.

If City Lord Xiao really succeeded in the future, the one he would respect would be the Azure Dragon Temple; what could Spirit Hall gain?

How could they possibly advance further?

This made Hu Liena even more worried.

While she was deep in thought, Xie Yue and Yan, who were following behind, were quite relaxed, still discussing the matter of the Azure Dragon Divine Lord striking down Divine Lightning.

"I didn't expect there to really be a god! So powerful! Xie Yue, let's go take a look when we have time. It'll broaden our horizons!"

"Sure, our mission is easy anyway, and we won't have too much involvement with them."

Hu Liena suddenly turned her head and glared at the two of them.

The two immediately became well-behaved, looking at each other, not daring to speak another word.

Hu Liena snorted coldly and said, "What's there to see at the Azure Dragon Temple? Have you also betrayed the God of Angels, just like the Spirit Hall Master here?"

"No... no, Nana, you're too excited."

Xie Yue said awkwardly.

Yan didn't even dare to say a word.

Hu Liena gnashed her teeth, thinking these two were too unreliable; she couldn't discuss anything with them at all!

At that moment, a Spirit Master caught up.

"...Xiao Heng sent someone to contact us, inviting us for a meeting."

Hu Liena sneered, "They certainly are impatient!"

...When Yu Xiaogang woke up, Tang San was by the bed, wiping his body, not missing a single nook or cranny.

Yu Xiaogang felt a warmth in his heart; this Disciple was truly wonderful, not looking down on him at all.

It would have been even better if he hadn't castrated him back then.

"Teacher! You're awake!" Tang San said with surprise.

Yu Xiaogang's lips twitched as he asked weakly, "Little San, where are we...?"

Tang San replied, "It's a farmer's house that City Lord Xiao found for you, outside Nuoding City; no one will find us."

"..."

Yu Xiaogang's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Why did he have to hide from others?

He wasn't a rebel, was he?!

But now, City Lord Xiao had undoubtedly made it a reality.

If he were caught again in the future, it would probably be hard to explain.

Sigh... yes, he still thought he had been let go by Viscount Spike because of his eloquence.

Tang San also fell silent, not knowing what else to say, hesitant to speak.

Seeing him like this, Yu Xiaogang's heart trembled.

He couldn't help but start doubting; was Little San looking at him like that because he looked down on his performance as a teacher?

True, he had been so embarrassing then; he must have been treated like a clown!

"Little San, I want to teach you a lesson..."

"Teacher, please speak," Tang San said with a serious expression.

Yu Xiaogang said slowly, "A wise man submits to circumstances! In necessary moments, one can say things against their heart, but this doesn't represent a person's true nature..."

Tang San let out an "ah," not understanding why Yu Xiaogang was saying these things.

Moreover, he didn't agree with such a thing.

He would rather die than do something against his heart.

"Teacher, City Lord Xiao..."

"Why do you keep mentioning him? Teacher doesn't want to hear about him right now. If it weren't for him, would I have fallen to this state? He must really look down on me now, right? Foolish people are all like that; they have one-track minds and can't think, they don't know my deep intentions at the time..."

Yu Xiaogang's defenses broke, and he rambled on.

Tang San couldn't get a single word in, his expression only growing more awkward.

Yu Xiaogang was still venting, first complaining, then angrily cursing, and then slandering, believing he was completely set up by the other party!

Tang San snapped out of it and hurriedly shouted, "Teacher! You must be delirious from the fever! Why are you talking such nonsense?!"

Yu Xiaogang was stunned and frowned; how dare you lecture your teacher?

Although he didn't even have a Spirit now and was treated like a clown, he was still an undisputed Grandmaster of Theory!

"Little San! What are you trying to say?"

Yu Xiaogang asked coldly.

Tang San said helplessly, "Teacher, I just wanted to say that City Lord Xiao is very concerned about you and is waiting right next door; he hasn't left once."

"..."

Yu Xiaogang was instantly dumbfounded, completely numb!

Goddammit Tang San, why the hell didn't you say so earlier?

I've been venting for so long, and you only tell me now that City Lord Xiao is right next door? Doesn't that mean he heard everything?

Now, Yu Xiaogang had only one thought, which was to turn into an ant and crawl into a crack in the ground!

At that moment, a burst of laughter rang out.

"Master Yu is indeed a man of temperament. It was my lack of consideration at the time that dragged Master Yu into this; I deserve to be scolded!"

The door opened, and City Lord Xiao walked in with a beaming smile.

Yu Xiaogang squeezed out a smile, feeling awkward to death in his heart!

He said sheepishly, "Thank you, City Lord Xiao..."

City Lord Xiao stepped forward, grasped Yu Xiaogang's hand, and said seriously, "Between you and me, we are like brothers; why say words of thanks? I only hope Master Yu recovers soon so we can continue to work for the people and respond to the Divine Lord's thoughts!"

"..."

Yu Xiaogang was completely numb; again?

Working with City Lord Xiao now would be truly rebelling, making it even harder to explain himself.

Tang San looked at Yu Xiaogang with admiration.

He now greatly respected City Lord Xiao, and since City Lord Xiao valued Yu Xiaogang so much, it made him feel proud as a Disciple!

Yu Xiaogang was put on the spot and hesitated, "I'm afraid my knowledge is shallow..."

"No matter, we are walking on the correct path! Even if we die, we shall have no regrets!"

City Lord Xiao said seriously.

"..." But I don't want to die!

Yu Xiaogang's smile was stiff.

"Furthermore, Master Yu has seen that the Divine Lord is pleased to see us. As long as we collect the evil deeds of those nobles, the Divine Lord will not let them go!"

"With Master Yu giving us advice, we will be even more powerful and will surely overthrow the Heaven Dou Empire and even the Star Luo Empire in the future!"

City Lord Xiao held Yu Xiaogang's hand tightly, his voice resonant.

Yu Xiaogang was in so much pain he was about to gasp; tears flowed out uncontrollably.

This man was using too much force!

It was definitely intentional retaliation!

"Okay... okay, I promise you..." Yu Xiaogang said, crying.

"That's wonderful! Our brothers are of one mind; for the Divine Lord's thoughts, we can die together!"

City Lord Xiao shouted.

Yu Xiaogang's head was buzzing from the shock, and he was momentarily confused.

However, hearing that it was for the Azure Dragon Divine Lord's thoughts... he felt even more aggrieved.

He hadn't forgotten that Luo San Pao was taken away because of the Azure Dragon Divine Lord!

He had become a cripple almost entirely because of the Azure Dragon Divine Lord's "good deeds"!

And now he had to give his life for the Azure Dragon Divine Lord's thoughts?

This was simply too much!!!

"Is that alright, Master Yu?"

City Lord Xiao held Yu Xiaogang's hand, his eyes full of sincerity.

Yu Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, his smile looking worse than crying, "Of course..."

Tang San pumped his fist on the side; great!

Teacher and City Lord Xiao had become good brothers and were practicing the thoughts of the Azure Dragon Temple.

Then if he went to find Xiao Wu to play, Teacher wouldn't say anything more, right?

...City Lord Xiao came out of Yu Xiaogang's room.

The first step was to wash his hands!

After washing them two or three times, he put them in front of his nose and sniffed.

Fortunately, the smell of urine was finally gone.

He didn't know if it was because the "bird's nest" had been wiped out, but Yu Xiaogang sweated very easily and carried a pungent smell.

While acting in the room just now, City Lord Xiao hadn't dared to breathe deeply.

"It must be hard on his Disciple; he's truly a good child..."

City Lord Xiao sighed.

As for Yu Xiaogang... he was nothing but a waste!

If not for his special identity, he wouldn't bother with him.

Back when Yu Xiaogang was in Nuoding City, as the City Lord, he had looked down on him, let alone now after seeing Yu Xiaogang's ugly state.

At that moment, a report suddenly came from outside.

"City Lord, people from Spirit Hall are here!"

City Lord Xiao immediately went out to greet them personally.

The person in charge from Spirit Hall was Hu Liena, who entered the courtyard directly.

"I have some words I want to say to you alone."

Hu Liena said.

City Lord Xiao waved his hand, signaling the others to leave the room.

Hu Liena gave Xie Yue and Yan a cold look; both were extremely embarrassed and hurriedly left as well.

Seeing that there was no one else, City Lord Xiao asked curiously:

"Miss Hu, I wonder what it is you want to talk to me about?"

Hu Liena fell silent for a moment, then looked up at him firmly and asked, "I want to know your opinion of Yu Xiaogang, the truth! Otherwise, I will leave with the supplies immediately!"

City Lord Xiao was stunned, frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, spoke:

"Mucus..."

Hu Liena was stunned by the words; what kind of description was that?

"He is a man like mucus—no, he's not a man at all, soft and disgusting... Of course, he also has many merits."

City Lord Xiao was being evasive; although it seemed Hu Liena disliked Yu Xiaogang, he didn't dare to be too blunt.

Hearing this, Hu Liena's heart sank; as expected, Yu Xiaogang was just as she thought!

He was completely a piece of rotten mud that couldn't be propped up!

If her teacher were to be with such a man, it would truly be ruined!

"Miss Hu, but Yu Xiaogang is known as a Great Master; in terms of theory, he is indeed a rare talent. Our team was able to get started partly because of his efforts..."

City Lord Xiao continued to praise him.

But Hu Liena was in no mood to listen; she only had one thought in her mind... to find a way to break her teacher's Rotten Peach Blossom!

"Enough, we have already given the support promised to City Lord Xiao. However, Spirit Hall will never have any involvement with you."

Hu Liena was upset and said a few words casually before taking her leave.

City Lord Xiao saw her out; outside, Xie Yue and Yan were talking to an Insurgent Army soldier, chatting happily.

Especially Xie Yue; both he and Hu Liena were orphans and had no liking for nobles.

Knowing that the Insurgent Army wanted to overthrow the nobles, he was inevitably surprised and full of agreement.

"Let's go!"

Hu Liena said irritably and left straight away.

Xie Yue and Yan looked at each other, both seeing Hu Liena's terrible mood... Hu Liena didn't even ride a horse, walking along the field path, her mind full of "Big Mucus"... no, it was Yu Xiaogang, that Rotten Peach Blossom!

How could her teacher have taken a fancy to such a person?

She couldn't understand it!

Back then, her teacher was also a paragon of her generation; what kind of man couldn't she find? Yet she just had to fall for Yu Xiaogang... "So Bibi Dong had such a plan? However, if she doesn't think about bringing this rebel army under her command, why just provide supplies?"

A rough voice suddenly rang out from above the three of them.

Hu Liena and the others were all startled, then gathered together, looking up warily.

A tall figure jumped down from the tree.

It was a man with a powerful aura, his head full of golden hair like a lion.

Hu Liena was slightly surprised, then bowed and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lion Worship Protector."

A Protector!

This was a status that transcended the Elders of Spirit Hall!

Even Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong had no right to command them; they even had the power to remove Bibi Dong from office.

Xie Yue and Yan also hurriedly bowed.

Lion Douluo snorted coldly and said, "I've been watching you for a while and was curious about what Bibi Dong was doing. Now I have a guess..."

Hu Liena's heart suddenly leaped into her throat.

Could it be that he found out her teacher's weakness?

"She's actually been scared witless by that Azure Dragon Temple! Acting all secretive! Not looking like a Supreme Pontiff at all! No wonder, since she's just a woman."

Lion Douluo started ranting directly.

Hu Liena showed a look of displeasure, but soon, she had an idea.

"Lion Worship Protector, then do you have any better insights?"

Lion Douluo put his hands behind his back and sneered, "I wouldn't call them 'better insights'! But this old man will certainly not support this rebel army for nothing, let alone pave the way for the Azure Dragon Temple!"

"This old man followed you here to size up the Azure Dragon Temple and see what kind of ability it has to dare make Spirit Hall act so subservient to it!"

Lion Douluo's voice was grand, "Wait here, this old man will be right back!"

...Azure Dragon Temple.

There were even more Believers outside, all coming to express their gratitude to the Azure Dragon Divine Lord.

A rainfall of Sweet Rain had brought salvation to many who were suffering from pain and illness.

This faith naturally became even more pure.

Yu Mengzhang did not make an appearance, letting them worship as they pleased.

His fourth spirit ring allowed his body to fuse with the statue, protecting his Physical Body while his Divine Soul emerged.

Just now, he sensed a pure, mysterious "faith"? "Karma"?

He couldn't tell for sure, but something in the dark told him it was definitely not simple!

So, he now had his Divine Soul emerge, not carrying Dragon Qi, and went directly towards the place of that special energy.

It was also within the range of Nuoding City, a scattered cluster of villages.

"Hmm...?"

Yu Mengzhang looked down from the sky and was suddenly startled.

Because this was exactly the place where City Lord Xiao was preparing to start the uprising!
