Chapter 23: I guess I'll just have to make do with this for now!
Clang!
The next moment, Yu Xiaogang stood up abruptly, and the chair he was sitting on fell to the ground with a loud thud due to his violent movement.
The sound of the chair falling over immediately attracted the attention of all the teachers and students eating in the cafeteria, and also interrupted the discussion of several children.
Yu Xiaogang quickly went to the table where the children were discussing the matter, grabbed two of them who knew what was going on, and shouted:
"Say what you just said again!"
Yu Xiaogang's voice was stiff and strange, and his appearance at this moment was ferocious, like a vengeful ghost.
The two children, who were only a few years old, had never seen anything like this before. Looking at Yu Xiaogang, who was as ugly as a ghost, they were terrified and repeated themselves in trembling voices.
After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang stood there stunned, motionless, his lips moving but unable to utter a word.
Seeing this, the two children took the opportunity to slip away.
It's terrifying that someone could be so ugly, with a face as ferocious as a demon.
"Hahaha—! Qian Xunji, you're finally dead. Good riddance!"
After a long while, Yu Xiaogang finally came to his senses, and at the same time, he was overjoyed.
For many years, Yu Xiaogang has lived under the shadow of Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji's figure was like a sharp sword, constantly hanging over his head, making him restless and unable to eat or sleep.
Since the Golden Iron Triangle disbanded, Yu Xiaogang lost the reliance on the three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and could only hide in the small place of Notting Academy, barely surviving.
The living are neither human nor ghost.
Qian Xunji is finally dead. Yu Xiaogang breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Idol!"
"Tang Hao, from now on you'll be my idol!"
Yu Xiaogang screamed with excitement inside, then couldn't help but start fantasizing:
"If only I had Tang Hao's strength."
"If I were the one who killed Qian Xunji"
"Who dares to call me a waste? Who dares to laugh at me? I will surely become a master revered by all, reaching the pinnacle of life!"
As he thought about it, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but drool.
He was already lost in a beautiful dream.
The teachers and students of Notting College who were eating nearby pointed and whispered among themselves as they looked at Yu Xiaogang, who seemed like a fool.
"What do you think he's doing?"
"Daydreaming."
"A shameless good-for-nothing who only knows how to freeload; he's nothing but a joke."
"That's right. He just eats and drinks for free at the academy all day long, neither teaching students nor giving classes. He claims to be researching some kind of martial spirit theory, but I haven't seen him come up with anything of note."
"Exactly, I don't know what the dean was thinking, taking him in and letting him do whatever he wants without doing anything about it."
"Pah, trash."
"What are you standing there laughing at, like an idiot?"
"..."
More and more teachers and students gathered to eat, and they all mocked Yu Xiaogang, who was standing in the middle of the cafeteria behaving strangely.
Yu Xiaogang came to his senses and, listening to all sorts of unpleasant words, his face gradually turned green.
"Hmph!" He flicked his coarse cloth sleeves, snorted coldly, and put on an unfathomable and piercing look. With his hands behind his back and his back straight, he walked away.
After leaving the cafeteria, Yu Xiaogang did not go straight back to his small room of less than 30 square meters, located in the corner of the top floor of the dormitory building, as he usually did.
He ran quickly out of the academy; he needed to go to the Spirit Hall Church in Notting City to personally verify the news.
Half an hour later.
Yu Xiaogang quickly ran back to his room and swiftly locked the door.
He confirmed that the news was true.
Chihiro is really dead!
Yu Xiaogang returned to his room and began to cry silently, his cries were heart-wrenching, his veins bulged, and his face was covered in tears. Then he laughed silently. He alternated between crying and laughing, but he didn't make a sound at all. He acted like a madman.
It's easy to imagine how much psychological trauma Qian Xunji inflicted on him.
Qian Xunji never expected that his casual threat would cause Yu Xiaogang to be so afraid that he would be reduced to this state.
This shows how fragile Yu Xiaogang's mentality is; he is simply vulnerable.
In this respect, Qian Xunji did a good thing.
After a long while, Yu Xiaogang stood there blankly in a dark corner, his face covered in tears and his eyes filled with a sinister and terrifying look.
At this moment, his mind kept replaying every little thing he had done at the Spirit Hall back then.
That foolish woman, Bibi Dong, was easily gained in his trust by merely revealing a little bit of his cleverness and cunning, all thanks to his silver tongue. She was completely oblivious to it.
Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, gained access to the knowledge collected in the Spirit Hall's archives by climbing up to the Holy Maiden's high position.
By organizing the books in the Spirit Hall's collection, he derived the theory of the ten core competencies of the Spirit.
He could have become famous, won the heart of a beautiful woman, and reached the pinnacle of his life, but Qian Xunji cruelly destroyed it.
The thought of Qian Xunji publicly restraining him, calling him a piece of trash, banishing him from Wuhun City, and threatening him was unbearable.
There's also the scene where Bibi Dong despises him for being a good-for-nothing and abandons him.
A deep pain, anger, and deep-seated hatred flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
After a long while, Yu Xiaogang finally suppressed the hatred in his heart.
He grinned, revealing his ugly lips, and muttered under his breath:
"Thankfully, Qian Xunji is dead. The person threatening me is gone."
From now on, birds can fly freely in the sky, and fish can leap freely in the sea.
"No one can restrain me anymore."
Then he remembered:
"Now that Qian Xunji is dead, Bibi Dong, as a saintess, is the first in line to the papacy."
"Yes, she will definitely be the next pope."
"If I become the Pope's man, then no one will dare to question my theories anymore, and I will surely become famous throughout the world."
"Yes! This is my chance, I must seize it!"
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he quickly got up.
But when he thought of how resolute Bibi Dong had been, how she had rejected and abandoned him, he hesitated again.
He began to struggle internally:
"Bibi Dong was so heartless back then. If I rashly go to her, I might as well be walking into the lion's den."
"If she doesn't care about our past relationship and wants to get back at me, or even kill me, wouldn't I be in danger?..."
"No, that can't be. She's clearly head over heels in love with me."
"The reason she acted that way was most likely due to Qian Xunji's machinations; otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly become so heartless."
"She must still be thinking about me. I'm very confident in my charm."
"If I go to her, she'll definitely throw herself at me."
"Yes, yes, yes. That must be it...."
Thinking of Bibi Dong's stunning beauty and graceful figure, a fiery glint flashed in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
Ultimately, passion overcame hesitation. Yu Xiaogang straightened up, hands behind his back, eyes blazing, and made up his mind:
"Looks like I'll just have to make do for now."
"Bibi Dong, I'm giving you this opportunity. You'd better seize it and not let me down."
Having made his decision, Yu Xiaogang quickly packed his belongings.
Most importantly, it's about his so-called research results on martial spirits.
They were all stored in the soul tool.
Yu Xiaogang didn't even greet his friend, the dean of Notting College, who had taken him in.
He quickly left Notting College and disappeared without a trace.
On the way, some college teachers and students saw Yu Xiaogang carrying a package, seemingly about to leave, and suddenly they were all overjoyed.
Upon receiving the news, the Dean of Notting College was both furious and delighted.
What angered him was that after taking in Yu Xiaogang for so long, Yu Xiaogang left without a word, without even saying goodbye or thanking him.
The good news is that this vampire is finally gone, and I no longer have to be sucked blood by him.
The Dean of Notting College suddenly felt his eyes well up with tears, and subconsciously sighed:
Great! ! !
