She asked us to leave?
Yu Luomian and Yu Xiaogang were both taken aback by how decisive and firm Liu Erlong's behavior was.
The unquestionable tone in her words was chilling to the bone.
"What, do you want me to escort you out?"
Seeing that Yu Luomian and Yu Xiaogang stood still without moving, Liu Erlong spoke again.
Anyone could hear what would become of Yu Xiaogang and Yu Luomian if they continued to linger.
The so-called escorting was by no means a good outcome.
"Hmph."
"President Liu, there's no need for you to act; I can take good care of them," Zhao Wuji, standing behind Liu Erlong, was already rubbing his hands in anticipation.
Even his movements made his bones crackle with a series of crisp sounds.
Yu Xiaogang also reacted.
He braced his hands on the ground and crawled backward a little further.
Presently, his old bones couldn't withstand Zhao Wuji.
Although Yu Luomian stood still, the twitching corners of his eyes revealed his inner unease.
He knew Zhao Wuji was ruthless; their last confrontation was still vivid in his memory.
"Er Long, we can leave, but before we do, could you tell me where the remains of my uncle are?"
Yu Luomian eventually backed down, aware that a mighty dragon cannot overpower a local serpent.
But the presence of a True Dragon Nine Crowns was of great significance to the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan and could not be lost.
Liu Erlong fell silent for a moment before speaking indifferently, "Yu Yuanzhen is gone without a trace."
Gone without a trace!
Yu Luomian and Yu Xiaogang's expressions stiffened once more.
"Father Dear, your death was too tragic..."
Yu Xiaogang could not hold back and burst into loud sobs.
Part of it was the grief brought on by Yu Yuanzhen's death.
And part for himself.
After all, Yu Yuanzhen was dead, but his nemesis, Qin Xiao, was still alive.
How could he cope with that?
"Enough," Yu Luomian sighed with a complex expression. Then he glanced at Yu Xiaogang and said coldly, "Useless trash, until when do you plan to embarrass yourself? Get up immediately."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang suddenly clung to Yu Luomian's legs, "Second Uncle, we can't just leave like this. Not only are my father's remains gone without a trace, but the sect's treasure is also still missing. The True Dragon Nine Crowns must be in that thief Qin Xiao's hands."
"And what do you propose to do?"
"Find Qin Xiao and take back the True Dragon Nine Crowns from his grasp."
"What nonsense!"
Yu Luomian was shocked. He even wondered if Yu Xiaogang had misspoken.
Yu Yuanzhen, who possessed the True Dragon Nine Crowns, could not kill Qin Xiao.
You want me to go after Qin Xiao and risk my life? Isn't that like sending me to my grave?
"If you want to die, go find Qin Xiao," Yu Luomian said angrily.
He was seriously starting to wonder if Yu Xiaogang was trying to get him killed.
It was obvious to anyone that seeking Qin Xiao would be a death sentence for them.
Yu Luomian estimated that turning to dust would be easy.
"What could I, I, I do..." After hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, looking lost and helpless.
What a joke.
Even if Liu Erlong told him Qin Xiao's whereabouts, he wouldn't dare to seek him out.
With Qin Xiao's cultivation level, eliminating Yu Xiaogang would be no more difficult than killing an ant.
He just wanted the True Dragon Nine Crowns to see if it was possible to break free from his Martial Soul or personal constraints. He wasn't genuinely seeking to avenge Yu Yuanzhen or looking for death.
"Old Zhao, see them off," Liu Erlong, seeing Yu Xiaogang and Yu Luomian's back-and-forth bickering, was becoming somewhat annoyed.
"Alright," Zhao Wuji took a step, and the ground seemed to tremble.
"There's no need for you to escort us; we can leave on our own," Yu Luomian's expression changed, and then with a cold snort, he picked up Yu Xiaogang and walked past the crowd toward the distance.
In a short while, they had completely disappeared from everyone's view.
"Er Long, I fear your father and Yu Xiaogang may still harbor malicious intentions," Flander expressed his concern after the two had left.
Liu Erlong's pupils contracted slightly, and he said coldly, "Even if they have treacherous plans, what of it? The current Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, without even a single Titled Douluo Level expert, is like a toothless tiger. If they dare to use any despicable means, I will make sure they pay the price."
"That's true," Flander nodded noncommittally, seeing Liu Erlong's confident demeanor.
Liu Erlong was right; with her current cultivation level and strength, if Yu Luomian or Yu Xiaogang really plotted something sinister, they would most certainly suffer miserably.
...
Night fell.
In the moonlight.
Liu Erlong sat at a wooden table in the courtyard, holding a wine glass with half-drunk strong liquor in her hand.
"So many days have passed; I wonder where Qin Xiao is by now? Has he reached the seashore?" Liu Erlong murmured to herself.
But soon, her face showed a touch of anger, "No, that's impossible. With so many women around Qin Xiao every day, he's too busy enjoying himself to think about traveling. How could he have the mood to hurry on his way?"
She felt that was the reality.
Woo woo woo...
Suddenly.
A rustling of the wind reached Liu Erlong's ears, and her expression immediately became restrained.
In its place was a look of indifference.
"Er Long, I am your father after all; is there really a need to greet me with such a cold face?"
As the voice fell, Yu Luomian appeared outside the fence of Liu Erlong's courtyard.
Same as during the day, he stood outside, clearly not intending to cross that threshold without an invitation from Liu Erlong.
