Chapter 145: He's Been Prideful His Whole Life!
Yu Luomian first made a trip to Blue Tyrant Academy to visit his illegitimate daughter, Liu Erlong.
After he breaks through to become a Title Douluo, he plans to officially recognize Liu Erlong as his daughter and restore her name to the family. After all, this was what he owed her.
Back then, because of the situation with Yu Xiaogang, the relationship between father and daughter had nearly been severed.
"Huh? Why does it seem like Erlong isn't as emotional anymore?"
This word, "emotional," was something Yu Luomian had picked up from Kong.
After secretly observing Liu Erlong for a while, Yu Luomian was stunned.
Logically, shouldn't Liu Erlong be lamenting her life in the mountains behind Blue Tyrant Academy by now? Yet, here she was, taking on the duties of the academy's headmaster and even teaching the students how to cultivate!
Something was off!
Though this was a good thing, Yu Luomian felt somewhat at a loss.
He genuinely had no idea what had happened.
After a moment of contemplation, Yu Luomian gritted his teeth and finally decided to meet Liu Erlong face-to-face. Even if it would make her angry, this meeting was necessary.
After Liu Erlong finished teaching her students, she returned to her office. The moment she opened the door, she saw the figure standing inside.
He stood there expressionless, hands behind his back, appearing aloof and dignified.
"Father, what brings you here?"
Liu Erlong asked in mild surprise.
Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian was shaken to the core—he was even more surprised than Liu Erlong! Because Liu Erlong had never called him "Father" before!
His hands, which were clasped behind his back, trembled slightly. If he didn't keep them there, he wouldn't know where to place them.
Liu Erlong had subconsciously addressed him as "Father" because she had already forgiven Yu Luomian. If he hadn't intervened back then, who knows what her fate might have been?
"I came to check on you and to acquire my ninth spirit ring," Yu Luomian said nonchalantly, trying to maintain the dignity of a father.
Liu Erlong: "…"
Why did it feel like that last part was his true intention?
She hadn't expected her father, Yu Luomian, to have broken through to level ninety!
"By the way, Erlong, start preparing. Once I obtain my ninth spirit ring, I'll take you back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to formally recognize our family ties."
Yu Luomian's expression remained unchanged, but inwardly, he had no idea what else to say. Hearing Liu Erlong call him "Father" had left his heart in turmoil.
"Okay."
In the past, Liu Erlong had been strongly opposed to acknowledging her family ties because that would expose her relationship with Yu Xiaogang to everyone.
But now, things were different.
"However, I have one request."
"Speak."
Yu Luomian responded without hesitation.
"I don't want to take the surname Yu. This name was given to me by my mother."
"You…"
Yu Luomian's entire body trembled—clearly, he was angry.
But after seeing the stubborn expression on Liu Erlong's face, he swallowed his words.
"I'll agree!"
In the end, Yu Luomian compromised. If she didn't want the Yu surname, so be it. After all, she was still his daughter.
"Erlong, can you tell me what's happened recently? It seems like you've overcome your struggles…"
After a long pause, Yu Luomian forced himself to speak, feeling a bit afraid that the recently improved relationship between him and Liu Erlong might shatter again because of Yu Xiaogang.
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong felt a bit conflicted. It seemed that Yu Luomian had been secretly keeping an eye on her all along, otherwise he wouldn't have noticed the changes in her.
Sigh, he's been prideful his whole life, I won't call him out on it.
Liu Erlong thought to herself, then began to explain the events of recent times.
As time passed and Yu Luomian finished hearing the full story, he burst out angrily, "That Yu Xiaogang… cough cough, I can't curse him like that."
Just as he was about to curse him out, Yu Luomian realized—after all, he was Yu Xiaogang's biological uncle. Cursing him would be the same as cursing himself.
"Erlong, you're too kind! For the sake of your uncle, you didn't kill him, but you couldn't even beat him until he couldn't move?"
Yu Luomian spoke earnestly, trying to advise her.
Liu Erlong: "..."
With a loud smack, to Liu Erlong's utter confusion, Yu Luomian slapped himself!
"Thank heavens for Kong! If it weren't for him, my precious daughter would've remained in the dark. I'm really such a lousy person. When Kong was young, I even targeted him!"
"He was just a child!"
Smack!
Yu Luomian slapped himself again, continuing, "If it weren't for Kong, I wouldn't have even broken through to level ninety in this lifetime. I was really blind!"
Liu Erlong: "???"
Wait, since when did this happen? Does my father's breakthrough to Title Douluo also have something to do with Kong?
For a long moment, father and daughter exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit awkward.
Especially Yu Luomian—he had gotten carried away by his emotions, slapping himself twice without thinking.
If there had been no one around, it wouldn't have mattered. But his daughter was right there! Yu Luomian had always been proud of his image.
Even though he knew he had been wrong, he still maintained that aloof, dignified expression. In his own words, as the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he couldn't afford to disgrace the clan or damage its reputation!
His pride was just as important as the honor of the clan.
"Cough cough," Yu Luomian cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness, then said, "Erlong, this matter has passed, but you're not young anymore, it's time to..."
Hearing this, Liu Erlong's face darkened. Before Yu Luomian could finish his sentence, she grabbed his arm and started pushing him out of the office, then slammed the door shut behind him.
Yu Luomian didn't resist. With his strength, there was no way Liu Erlong could have physically moved him.
Staring at the closed door, Yu Luomian opened his mouth, as if wanting to say something, but then stopped.
Forget it, each generation has its own blessings. His daughter was both beautiful and strong—there was no need to worry about her finding a husband.
Just as he was about to leave, Yu Luomian seemed to recall something and called out, "I think your sworn brother, Flender, is quite a good match..."
"He's just my brother! Don't mention it again!"
From inside the office, Liu Erlong's roar echoed.
Faced with this fierce outburst, Yu Luomian rubbed his nose, feeling a bit disappointed.
"Alright, I won't mention it. I'll be off now!"
With those words, Yu Luomian finally turned and left.
Back then, he had actually been quite optimistic about Flender. The man was truly devoted to Liu Erlong, and as a commoner spirit master without any powerful family background, there would be no issue with him marrying into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
With Flender's talent, it was practically guaranteed that he would break through to become a Spirit Douluo.
This would not only add a Spirit Douluo to the clan but also resolve his daughter's marriage issue—what a great deal.
The most important thing was that they shared deep "feelings" for each other.
But unfortunately, all of this had been ruined by that waste, Yu Xiaogang!
The more Yu Luomian thought about it, the angrier he became. At this point, he wanted to storm over to the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and give Yu Xiaogang a good beating!
Still, acquiring his ninth spirit ring was more important. That waste could live peacefully for a few more days…
