Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 179 Liu Erlong Returns to Blue Lightning Sect, the Dispute Over the Illegitimate Daughter
At this moment, colorful flags fluttered in the breeze in front of the main gate of Blue Tyrant Academy, and a red carpet stretched from the gate all the way to the central square.

The bells rang through the sky, signaling the imminent start of the academy's opening ceremony.

Just then, a dusty carriage slowly came to a stop at the side gate of the academy.

Yu Luomian checked the address in the letter and confirmed that it was the right place.

Then, the carriage curtain was lifted, and he jumped out of the carriage first, turning around and reaching out to help Liu Erlong inside the carriage.

Liu Erlong, however, slapped his hand away with a cold face, jumped down herself, her eyes full of stubbornness and impatience.

"Erlong, when you see your elders later, try to control your temper a bit."

Yu Luomian lowered her voice, her tone pleading.

After all, returning to the family as an illegitimate daughter still requires the approval of the family elders, and he hoped that Liu Erlong could make a good impression.

Liu Erlong chuckled, crossed his arms, and said:

"I know, I know. Didn't the family beg us to come back? Why are you being so humble?"

Yu Luomian was speechless, and could only sigh and steel himself to lead her into the academy.

As the two walked through the side gate's long corridor, they could hear the noise coming from the central square in the distance.

Liu Erlong paused slightly, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked resentfully towards the crowd.

The place was brightly lit and filled with laughter, a stark contrast to her current mood.

"Let's go," Yu Luomian urged softly.

Liu Erlong snorted coldly and then strode after him.

On the viewing platform of Blue Tyrant Academy, in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan area, Yu Luomian's wife, Xiao Wan, was sitting with Yao'er.

As the two were chatting, a familiar figure suddenly flashed past in her peripheral vision.

Xiao Wan suddenly turned her head, her eyes urgently searching for that familiar figure.

Finally, she saw the Jade Crown.

The man who had been away from home for over twenty years was now standing right in front of her.

Yu Luomian looked noticeably more weathered and haggard than before, with even a few strands of white hair appearing at her temples.

"Luo Mian!"

Xiao Wan stood up excitedly, her eyes instantly reddening, her voice filled with undisguised joy.

She lifted her skirt and quickly went to meet him.

"Husband, is that you?"

However, just a few steps away from the Jade Crown, her steps suddenly froze.

Yu Luomian turned around, but his face showed no joy at the long-awaited reunion. He stepped aside, revealing the figure of a girl with delicate features and a voluptuous figure behind him.

The woman was looking at her with disdain.

Xiao Wan clearly noticed that this young woman's eyebrows and eyes bore a striking resemblance to Yu Luomian's, except that her eyes burned with an arrogance she had never seen on her husband's face.

"Who is this……"

Xiao Wan's voice trembled slightly, she vaguely guessed something, but dared not confirm it.

Yu Luomian took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said:

"Wan'er, it's been a long time. This is Liu Erlong... my daughter."

Yu Luomian's voice wasn't loud, but it was like a thunderclap in the crowd. The surrounding conversations stopped abruptly, and dozens of eyes turned to this side.

"Daughter?" Xiao Wan's face turned pale instantly. She staggered back a step and grabbed the stone pillar beside her.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out; she only felt dizzy.

After more than 20 years of marriage, she had no idea that her husband had such a grown daughter outside of their marriage!

Upon seeing this, Liu Erlong immediately recognized Xiao Wan's identity and gave a contemptuous sneer.

"Ha, this is your lawfully wedded wife?"

Her gaze swept over Xiao Wan like a knife.

"It doesn't look very good."

"Erlong!" Yu Luomian scolded in a low voice, but dared not actually discipline her. He knew his daughter's temper too well and was afraid that provoking her would backfire.

Xiao Wan finally found her voice: "Husband, when did this happen? Why..."

"Stop pretending to be innocent and pitiful!" Liu Erlong suddenly sprang up, his soul power surging.

"If you weren't the legal wife, how could my mother have—"

Yu Luomian wanted to stop her again, but it was too late.

Liu Erlong pointed at Xiao Wan, his voice shrill and filled with rage, and said:
"It's all because of you! Without you, how could my mother and I have been gossiped about behind our backs? My mother never even got to set foot in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's home before she died!"

Liu Erlong recalled all the misfortunes he had experienced since childhood and blamed them all on Xiao Wan.

If it weren't for her, she would have long ago enjoyed the resources of the three upper sects and lived a very prosperous life.

Xiao Wan shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes: "I don't know... I really don't know..." "Hypocritical!"

Enraged, Liu Erlong raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of a slap was particularly jarring in the noisy square.

Xiao Wan was knocked to the side, and a red mark instantly appeared on her face.

She covered her face, staring at Liu Erlong in disbelief, tears silently streaming down her cheeks.

In an instant, the surroundings fell silent. Everyone's gaze, including the heads of the Blue Lightning Sect, Emperor Xueye and Ning Fengzhi in the VIP seats, Bishop Clark of the Platinum Sect and other sect representatives, as well as the many people in the square, all turned to look.

Yao'er rushed forward and caught the swaying Xiao Wan, glaring at Liu Erlong: "How could you hit someone!"

Liu Erlong was not afraid at all, and raised his chin, saying, "She deserves it!"

Yu Luomian's face turned ashen, and she grabbed Liu Erlong's arm: "Enough! Erlong, she is still..."

"What is she?" Liu Erlong shook off his hand, sneering repeatedly, "She is nothing."

The scene was chaotic.

Xiao Wan leaned against Yao'er's chest, crying so hard she could barely breathe.

Yu Luomian was caught in a dilemma, feeling sorry for his daughter but also guilty towards his wife.

Moreover, Liu Erlong is now like a furious lion, impossible to control.

Just then, Yu Zhentian's voice, imbued with soul power, came from the high platform and resounded throughout the entire square.

"The auspicious hour has arrived! The opening ceremony of Blue Tyrant Academy officially begins!"

Everyone's attention was temporarily drawn back to the ceremony.

Yu Luomian then took the opportunity to pull Liu Erlong to sit down in the family area.

Yao'er, supporting Xiao Wan, said with concern, "Should I help you to the back to rest for a while?"

Xiao Wan shook her head and looked in the direction of Yu Luomian, saying, "No, I can't leave. I must find out the truth and face all of this bravely."

With that, supported by Yao'er, he headed towards the Blue Lightning family's seats.

Yu Yuanzhen stepped onto the platform, glanced at the farce unfolding in his home with a complex expression, then cleared his throat and began to speak:
"Today, Blue Tyrant Academy is officially established. We uphold the principles of fairness and openness, and are committed to providing the highest quality education for ordinary Soul Masters..."

After Yu Yuanzhen finished speaking, the ceremony moved into the "Teachers' Style Showcase" segment.

Ten Soul Master instructors took turns stepping onto the stage, and at a command, they simultaneously released their Martial Souls and Soul Rings.

For a moment, the yellow, purple, and black lights shone brightly and captivated the eye.

Seven Soul Kings and three Soul Emperors.

This immediately drew gasps of surprise from the students in the audience.

After the martial spirit demonstration, the eight teachers stepped down.

Two Soul King teachers were left on the stage for a duel exhibition match.

One of them possesses the "Wind Blade Leopard" martial soul, making him an agility-based soul master with lightning speed.

The other person is "Ironclad Rhinoceros," a powerful offensive Soul Master with astonishing strength and defense.

The duel between the two was spectacular, with wind blades and the sound of impacts constantly ringing out. For a time, neither of them could gain the upper hand.

They maintained a balanced fighting posture throughout.

After all, it's just an exhibition match; the point is to show off skills to the outside world, not to determine a winner or loser.

Below the stage, in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan's territory.

Xiao Wan was still sobbing softly, and Yao'er kept comforting her gently.

Liu Erlong stood with his arms crossed, his eyes cold.

Yu Luomian stood to the side, his brows furrowed, but he remained silent, offering no words of comfort to his wife.

It was obvious that she was on Liu Erlong's side, supporting her.

Yu Luomian looked at Yu Zhentian in the front row and said in a deep voice, "Father, I came back this time precisely for the matter of Erlong."

Yu Zhentian closed his eyes and remained silent.

But Liu Erlong couldn't sit still anymore, because her wedding with Yu Xiaogang had been a complete mess, and she was already furious.

Now that she's back in the sect, that so-called "official wife" is still playing the victim, which only makes her more impatient.

She watched the two fighting on the stage and immediately leaped onto the ring.

The two teachers who were fighting were stunned when they saw Liu Erlong suddenly appear on the stage, and they stopped what they were doing.

Even the students in the audience were in an uproar, thinking it was some kind of extra match.

But Yu Luomian panicked.

"What...what are you going to do running up there?!"
