Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, who was kidnapped to another world

After all, Luo Sanpao wasn't very aggressive. Let alone a Soul Master, even an ordinary person could probably catch it and cook it. And the injuries Luo Sanpao sustained would be reflected back to Yu Xiaogang. If it were an enemy, they would definitely injure Luo Sanpao immediately, not giving Yu Xiaogang time to escape.

"Does Teacher Zhao know?" Oscar asked, looking at Zhao Wuji.

"Don't look at me, I have absolutely no interest in that guy's business."

Zhao Wuji rolled his eyes. He wasn't the type to categorize people into different levels based on their strength. If Yu Xiaogang's personality and temperament were normal, he would certainly befriend him, but...

Thinking of Yu Xiaogang's pathetic incompetence and his disdainful attitude towards them, the Soul Saints and Soul Emperors, Zhao Wuji felt a burning rage. If it weren't for Flander protecting Yu Xiaogang, he would have long ago used Yu Xiaogang's deadpan face to sharpen his claws.

"She previously mentioned that she knew Dean Flander, and that he might be the last member of the Golden Iron Triangle," Xiao Yan said slowly, completely forgetting his previous pretense of not knowing the Golden Iron Triangle.

"The Golden Triangle..."

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who both came from scholarly families, almost simultaneously murmured the name to each other.

"She is the last member of that golden trio, Liu Erlong, known as the Killing Horn?"

With Xiao Yan's reminder, Zhao Wuji, who had been mingling in the Soul Master world for a long time, realized the name of the distraught woman.

Zhao Wuji, who knew a bit about the original "Golden Trio," knew that this seemingly noblewoman was no ordinary woman. Those who knew her described her as having a strong sense of justice and a fiery temper.

Looking at Liu Erlong's distraught appearance, Zhao Wuji began to doubt her identity.

The name Liu Erlong sounds a bit strange, but if this beautiful woman really is Liu Erlong, then she is of the same generation as Flander. So no one showed any unusual expression on their faces. They just looked at Liu Erlong, who was standing still and didn't even react when Luo Sanpao was taken away. Everyone couldn't help but be curious about the relationship between her and Yu Xiaogang.

Of course, the main reason is the stark contrast between beauty and the beast, or rather, beauty and zombie, which arouses immense curiosity in everyone, like hundreds of cats scratching at their hearts.

"Flander, let me go!"

Before he could ask a few more questions, Yu Xiaogang's furious voice suddenly came from the direction he had fled, growing louder as he approached.

"Yu Xiaogang, how long are you going to keep running away? Erlong's sister has already come knocking on our door, and you still want to run away? Are you even a man?!"

When Flander's voice rang out, everyone finally saw clearly the situation of Yu Xiaogang and Flander—

In his spirit possession state, Flander flapped his wings and flew in mid-air, grabbing Yu Xiaogang by the collar and carrying him back to the playground.

"Xiao Gang..."

Liu Erlong's voice trembled violently, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her slightly pale face. She was completely overwhelmed with emotion.

Yu Xiaogang, who had been placed on the ground by Flander, stared at Liu Erlong with red eyes, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Flander sighed softly, "Our so-called golden trio has finally met again today. Sister Erlong, it's been so many years, how have you been?" His heart was also sighing; Liu Erlong's eyes were still only on Yu Xiaogang.

It wasn't until Flander spoke that Liu Erlong's gaze fell on him: "Boss Flander, it's been so many years, you're still the same."

Flanders gave a wry smile: "It's me who's gotten old, while you're still as charming as ever..."

"The dean's office is over there, Xiao Gang knows it too. You two go talk over there. The students are still in class, it's not good to keep disturbing them here." Flander, who had just finished speaking to him, managed a weak smile and pointed in the direction of his dilapidated office. He noticed that Liu Erlong's gaze had returned to Yu Xiaogang, who hadn't said a word.

“Fine, since Xiao Gang has been unwilling to talk to me, I don’t need to force him,” Liu Erlong said with a forced smile, looking at Yu Xiao Gang who was still silent. “However, after this meeting, I will never let you escape from my grasp again, Xiao Gang.”

Liu Erlong stared intently at Yu Xiaogang.

"Alright, although you all seem to know who I am, let me introduce myself first." Liu Erlong shifted her gaze from Yu Xiaogang and looked at the students of Shrek Academy.

"My name is Liu Erlong. Back when I was adventuring in the world of Soul Masters with Boss Fu and Xiao Gang, I was known as the Golden Iron Triangle."

After Liu Erlong introduced herself, the trainees did not dare to be negligent and stepped forward to greet her. Liu Erlong also composed herself, wiped away her tears, and politely returned the greeting.

However, when returning Xiao Yan's greeting, Liu Erlong suddenly smiled and said, "Didn't you say before that you didn't know about the Golden Iron Triangle?" She smiled, but her eyes held a hint of anger.

"I never said I didn't know," Xiao Yan said calmly. "I just suspected you were lying to me. After all, I don't know what the last member of that Golden Iron Triangle looks like."

"You two just met?" Flander asked curiously after hearing their conversation.

"I got harassed by this guy in Soto City. He insisted on recommending a teacher to me," Xiao Yan said bluntly, without embellishing the story. "He even said he knew you, Dean."

"I thought to myself, what a coincidence! So I asked her to show me proof that she knows you, Dean. But in the end, she didn't have anything to prove that she knows you."

Upon hearing the second half of Xiao Yan's sentence, Flander managed a weak smile. He knew that Liu Erlong cared more about Yu Xiaogang than about him, but he really didn't expect that Liu Erlong didn't have anything to prove that she knew him. He had been exchanging letters with Liu Erlong every year... It seemed to be a one-sided exchange of letters, with no reply ever received.

"I clearly said it was the Golden Iron Triangle!" Liu Erlong insisted, unconvinced.

"I've already said, I don't know what the last member of the Golden Iron Triangle looks like, but I do know his name. However, you're showing me a written certificate from the Heaven Dou Royal Family claiming to be the founder of Blue Tyrant Academy, with Liu Erlong's name printed on it. How can I believe such a coincidence? And how am I supposed to know if that certificate is real or fake?"

Xiao Yan said irritably, "You told me to leave, but then you secretly followed me again. If you weren't really the dean's friend, Teacher Zhao and the others would have beaten you up long ago!"

After saying a lot, the main purpose was to reveal to Flander that Liu Erlong had founded "Blue Tyrant Academy".

"You little rascal..."

Liu Erlong was so angry that her teeth itched, but she found that she really couldn't refute it. After all, what Xiao Yan said was true, and it was reasonable for him to doubt the authenticity of the certificate in her hand. If someone pulled out a certificate that was recognized by the Heaven Dou Royal Family in front of her, her first reaction would definitely be to question it.

Perhaps it was because Liu Erlong's words didn't quite match her luxurious clothes, making her no longer appear as a wealthy lady, that Ma Hongjun asked with some curiosity:

"Then, could you tell me about your relationship with Yu... and the Master?" Originally intending to say Yu Xiaogang's name directly, Ma Hongjun hesitated for a moment and then used a more appropriate form of address.

"Hongjun!"

Although Flander reacted quickly, Ma Hongjun had already fully stated his question by the time he called out Ma Hongjun's name.

Everyone else, including Zhao Wuji, silently gave Ma Hongjun a thumbs up for asking the crucial question. Why were they silent for so long? It was all to watch a good show!

Upon hearing Ma Hongjun's question, Liu Erlong did not speak immediately. Instead, she silently bit her lower lip, and the sadness she had previously suppressed in her eyes resurfaced.

“Erlong, don’t worry about Ma Hongjun, he’s just a…” Flander noticed Liu Erlong’s sad mood and quickly spoke up.

“It’s alright, it’s not something that can’t be said,” Liu Erlong interrupted Flander, “I…”

"Mistress, come with me for a walk outside."

Yu Xiaogang suddenly spoke, interrupting Liu Erlong's narration.

"Oh, okay." Although he was very interested in the story between Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang that she was about to tell, Tang San silently left the crowd and followed Yu Xiaogang after hearing Yu Xiaogang's call.

"Mistress, can I go out with you?"

Xiao Wu panicked when she saw Tang San preparing to leave the playground with Yu Xiaogang. After glancing discreetly at Xiao Yan, she ran to Tang San's side and asked.

Tang San didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked at Yu Xiaogang. After Yu Xiaogang's deadpan head moved up and down to nod, Tang San smiled and took Xiao Wu's hand.

Watching Yu Xiaogang leave the playground with Tang San and Xiao Wu, Flander suddenly smiled: "Aren't you afraid he'll run away this time?"

Liu Erlong looked at Flander and laughed, a hint of amusement in her smile: "Boss Flander, do you think he'll still have a chance to escape after I see him this time? This time, even if I have to tie him up, I'll keep him by my side."

Upon hearing this, Flander smiled with satisfaction, but his eyes were filled with pain.

Next, Liu Erlong began to explain the "torturous love" between her and Yu Xiaogang—

The woman's father came from a prestigious family, but her mother was just an ordinary woman. While traveling, she met a learned young man and his friend. The three quickly became friends. As time went by, both young men fell in love with the woman. When they confessed their feelings, the woman chose the learned young man. After the third person withdrew, the woman and the young man's wedding took place as scheduled.

"I still remember it. It was a clear, moonlit night. Boss Fu was the witness to my wedding with Xiao Gang. He witnessed the happiest moment of my life..." Liu Erlong blushed. It was clear that she cherished that day very much.

“But after we had our drinks, a few people suddenly arrived. One of them was the current second head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, who is also my father,” Liu Erlong said, tears welling up in her eyes again. “And he happens to be Xiao Gang’s second uncle.”

The so-called tragic story had no real meaning for the trainees. On the one hand, Yu Xiaogang hadn't done anything decent in the past two weeks. On the other hand, Oscar and Ma Hongjun knew that the "aristocratic dog training rhetoric" that Flander used to make Oscar run, which Xiao Yan called "aristocratic dog training rhetoric," was actually spoken by Yu Xiaogang.

"So, Yu Xiaogang is a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?" Oscar murmured.

“No wonder…” Ma Hongjun nodded, feigning seriousness.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Erlong looked at Oscar and Ma Hongjun with some confusion. Normally, shouldn't they be empathizing with her at this time, feeling that the world has been too unfair to her?

"Nothing, I was just thinking about some things," Oscar chuckled nonchalantly. "So, Teacher Erlong, did Master also choose to run away that night?"

“Yes,” Liu Erlong said, no longer pressing the matter since Oscar was unwilling to answer. However, after hearing Oscar’s question, she seemed somewhat resentful. “But who can blame him?”

“The woman I love most has become my sister. This kind of pain is unimaginable to ordinary people. I don’t blame him. I just hate myself. I hate that I didn’t completely sever ties with my father. I hate that I didn’t hold on to him and didn’t find him after that.”

Liu Erlong expressed her deep love for Yu Xiaogang in one sentence after another, completely oblivious to the painful expression on Flander's face.

As for the students—

Chapter 87 Golden Holy Dragon

Glancing at Liu Erlong, who was standing there seemingly lost in her own self-pity, Ma Hongjun quietly approached Flander.

"teacher……"

"Hmm?" Flander looked at his disciple with some surprise.

"They haven't seen each other for over twenty years, and you still haven't managed to steal her away..."

Before Ma Hongjun could finish speaking, Flander slapped him hard on the head. Although Ma Hongjun's voice was very soft, everyone present was a Soul Master, so Ma Hongjun's words were essentially the same as saying them directly in front of everyone.

"What are you saying? Xiao Gang is my brother. How could I, Flander, do something to betray my brother?"

Even knowing that Flander wasn't that kind of person, with Ma Hongjun asking that question as a premise, Flander's words "I won't do anything to betray my brothers" sounded somewhat different to Liu Erlong. Almost subconsciously, she took a small step to the side.

“Erlong, I…” Flander, noticing Liu Erlong’s subconscious behavior, put on a bitter smile and wanted to explain.

“Brother Flander, this must be the Shrek Academy you mentioned? This is my first time here in all these years,” Liu Erlong interrupted Flander with a smile. “Aren’t you going to introduce me to your brothers?”

"...Alright, come on, Lao Zhao, let's go find Lao Lu and the others."

Upon hearing Liu Erlong's words, Flander sighed, patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder, told him to get out of the way, and then called Zhao Wuji, leading Liu Erlong into the village.

"The dean... is being a little too humble."

Oscar hesitated for a moment before using a word that wasn't particularly offensive.

"It's only because the dean is a good person. If it were me, that Yu Xiaogang would be dead by now," Dai Mubai, who was originally about to leave but had been standing there since he found out there was a good show to watch, curled his lip. "A great soul master of several decades... ha."

"I suspect that everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan has some kind of problem with their brains," Ma Hongjun sneered, standing up for Flander after confirming that Flander and Liu Erlong had gone far away. "A Great Soul Master of several decades still wants to teach us geniuses? I don't know where he gets the nerve."

"Another one has been living a life of widowhood for over twenty years, just waiting for a Great Soul Master, who is also her relative... Hilarious! Does the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan just love this kind of thing? Do they just like incest?"

"Teacher, do you have to be so humble? He's just a Great Soul Master. You treat him like a brother, but he might just think you're a sucker."

For more than half a month, Ma Hongjun, who was disgusted by Yu Xiaogang and deeply hated him, spat out his "venom" without any mercy.

"They're just cousins, yet they've been hiding for twenty years and haven't even met..." Ning Rongrong was speechless at Yu Xiaogang's behavior.

Despite living in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a place notorious for its chaotic personal lives, and knowing firsthand the decadent lifestyles of the Heaven Dou Empire's nobility, he insisted on pretending he couldn't accept that his lover was his cousin, and hid for over twenty years. If it weren't for Flander's intervention, he might have continued to hide...

Thinking about all this, Ning Rongrong's feelings towards Yu Xiaogang became even more negative.

'Close relatives...'

While Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and Dai Mubai were complaining about Yu Xiaogang's low character and Liu Erlong's inexplicable brain, Xiao Yan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai. Their fathers seemed to be brothers.

As if sensing Xiao Yan's gaze, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been silent, suddenly looked up at Xiao Yan and asked, "Is there something you need?"

With just one sentence, everyone's attention was drawn to her and Xiao Yan.
