Chương 272: Chapter 270: Severance Pay for You_1

"Lord Xu Ran..." Liu Erlong's silver teeth clenched tightly, her heart in even greater turmoil.

The moment she feared most was still coming, wasn't it?

If Lord Xu Ran really did what she dreaded, how could she refuse? She simply had no way to say no.

In this world, after all, might makes right. If it were just herself, it might be manageable, but behind her was a Soul Master Academy. With the strength of Lord Xu Ran, should he become enraged and begin a massacre, the entire academy would turn into a living hell.

Even if she was not responsible to herself, she had a responsibility to the academy that stood behind her.

"Come here," Xu Ran said, seated in the office chair that originally belonged to Liu Erlong, summoning her over with a smile that left little to the imagination.

"Lord Xu Ran, I..." Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes looked at Xu Ran, knowing what he meant. But she still hoped that he would not lay a hand on her at this time.

"I said, come here," Xu Ran dismissed Liu Erlong's plea and continued.

Xu Ran's words, like a devil's whisper, sent a violent tremor through Liu Erlong's heart. She sensed a trace of anger in his voice. What if she continued to oppose Lord Xu Ran and he really became angry, what then?

Thinking this, she could only slowly move towards Xu Ran. Her anxious and hurried demeanor, along with her stockings and high heels clicking on the solid stone floor, carried a certain charm.

"That's right. Be more obedient in the future, otherwise, I might just get angry," Xu Ran said as he pulled Liu Erlong into his embrace and onto his lap.

"Ah." Liu Erlong cried out softly, her body stiffening as she sat on Xu Ran's lap, finding it somewhat difficult to comply. Her gaze turned to Yu Xiaogang, filled with a sense of despair.

Now Yu Xiaogang might have misunderstood her relationship with Lord Xu Ran.

But she had no idea how to explain that Lord Xu Ran had once said that no matter what, their identities must not be revealed, nor their agreement.

And at that moment, Yu Xiaogang stood there, his complexion turning incredibly dark.

He felt an urge to vomit blood.

Why?

Wasn't his Er Long in love with him? She had always been wholeheartedly helping him with his Martial Soul issues, but what was this now?

How could Er Long be so intimately entwined with Xu Ran?

Had Er Long's heart changed?!!!

Since when did Xu Ran and Er Long know each other? This made no sense?

Most importantly, here they were, embracing shamelessly in front of him, the epitome of shamelessness.

"Brock, I..." Liu Erlong, seeing Yu Xiaogang's turbulent gaze, couldn't help but want to speak up to explain.

"Ah." But in the end, she could only let out a soft cry, because Xu Ran's hand was now tightly pressed against her.

"Dean Liu, don't forget our agreement," Xu Ran whispered into Liu Erlong's ear in a quiet voice only audible to the two of them, chin resting on her fragrant shoulder.

He was warning Liu Erlong.

If she dared to break the rules, the consequences would be very serious.

Indeed, hearing the warning from Xu Ran, Liu Erlong could only tremble, not daring to utter another word.

Her heart was a tumult of emotions, and by now, she was beginning to regret.

What if Brock misunderstood her, thinking she was the kind of woman who sought power and wealth through others? But everything she had done was for Brock. Only by doing this could she help Brock obtain the treasure and thus resolve the defect in his Martial Soul, leading him towards strength.

"For the one you love, any sacrifice is worth it." At this moment, Xu Ran's bewitching voice echoed again in Liu Erlong's ear. Listening to Xu Ran's words, Liu Erlong's heart calmed down once more.

Yes, for Brock, everything was worth it.

Even if in Brock's heart she was that kind of person, someone who had betrayed him, it was all worth it.

As long as Brock was happy, everything was fine.

Nothing else mattered.

...

The scene of Xu Ran and Liu Erlong, huddled together and speaking, appeared just like the intimacy between lovers.

Liu Erlong's panic resembled that of a girl shyly in love, at least that's what Yu Xiaogang thought.

"Erlong, Xu Ran, you, you..." Yu Xiaogang trembled violently, his heart pounding with anger. Now he felt he truly understood, comprehended it completely: Liu Erlong had long changed her heart and even fallen for Xu Ran. The treasure Liu Erlong offered him today to resolve his Martial Soul's defect was nothing but his severance package.

"You actually, shamelessly, seduced a young man so much younger than you," Yu Xiaogang said angrily. He would rather forsake the treasure than hear such news.

His Liu Erlong, the Liu Erlong who deeply loved him, had changed her heart.

As his cousin, she had endured so many years; she was supposed to love him to death—why would she change her heart? Why?

"Noise." Xu Ran, upon seeing this, slapped Yu Xiaogang across the face.

"Smack." An extremely loud noise rang out, and a crimson handprint appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face. Having achieved Unity of Heaven and Man, even striking someone across the air was within his capabilities.

"Hiss." A surge of intense pain followed, and Yu Xiaogang's jaw nearly dislocated, but the pain wasn't just physical—it was deeper in the heart.

He, Yu Xiaogang, had been humiliated like this?

Xu Ran had taken his woman and even humiliated him in front of Liu Erlong.

Most crucially, when he lifted his head to look at Liu Erlong, all he saw was indifference and disregard.

He was slapped by Xu Ran, and Liu Erlong was completely unmoved! She didn't even say a word of plea—was she truly so heartless?

His heart ached all the more.

In his mind, his woman, his Liu Erlong, was to be dealt with at his discretion. He should be the one to decide whether to keep her or not, not to be discarded by her. It was a matter of a man's dignity.

But now, his dignity had been trampled upon mercilessly.

This shameless woman, having an affair with the much younger Xu Ran. Just previously, she had still been pretending to be a deeply loving wife in front of him. To think he had been concerned about her all this time, yet she was this kind of woman.

Seeing her and Xu Ran in such a state, had they been together for a long time already? To embrace each other so intimately without a hint of embarrassment.

No one knew of Yu Xiaogang's inner turmoil. At this moment, Liu Erlong was deeply pained by Yu Xiaogang's words of "shamelessness." Her heart was in agony, as if being sliced by knives. Was this how she was perceived by Yu Xiaogang?

The reason she watched Yu Xiaogang being hit by Xu Ran without intervening was that she knew showing any concern for Yu Xiaogang would only provoke Xu Ran further.
