"Er Long, why bother with these rich merchant's sons!"
"He probably came to discuss this matter just to get us to advertise for his merchant association during the Soul Master Tournament!"
"He wants to achieve the best outcome with the least cost!"
Yu Xiaogang, suddenly feeling confident, looked coldly at Qian Renxue back and said:
"His intentions are not pure, and he starts with baseless slander. It's obvious he's a person with impure motives!"
"He regrets it now, probably because his family no longer provides financial support, so he's just looking for any excuse!"
"With your strength, why would you bother with a spoiled rich kid like that?"
"If he doesn't want to sponsor us, then so be it. Once we at Shrek show our strength, more and better merchant associations will come to cooperate with us!"
"This clown will regret it later!"
Yu Xiaogang words were full of confidence.
Even Qian Renxue, who was leaving, paused her steps.
She had never met such a shameless person before!
Just a mere Soul Master of the second ring dared to insult her like this. Did he really think Liu Erlong's strength was his own?
Was he tired of living?
"Xiaogang!"
Liu Erlong, sensing that Yu Xiaogang words were inappropriate, immediately reached out to grab his arm, hoping to stop him from continuing.
But Yu Xiaogang, seeing Qian Renxue had stopped, seemed to feel that he had finally done something of value, and with even more confidence, he retorted:
"Did I say something wrong?"
"A spoiled rich kid like him, without his family's support, is just a useless waste!"
"With the strength of the three of us, even a Soul Douluo would be able to face us, why care about such a clown!"
Liu Erlong was stunned when she heard this.
The next moment, she realized that when Yu Xiaogang spoke of "our three strengths," he was referring to the combination of her, Yu Xiaogang, and Flender Triple Spirit Fusion Technique.
With this skill, their "Golden Triangle" had indeed made quite a name for itself on the continent.
But where were they now?
This was the core of the Tiandou Empire—Tiandou City!
Even a titled Douluo might secretly be here.
So even though she was a Spirit Saint and from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, she still couldn't afford to act too recklessly in Tiandou City.
But Yu Xiaogang...
She shook her head, her gaze at him filled with confusion.
After all these years, how did Yu Xiaogang seem like a completely different person?
She even felt... a bit unfamiliar with him now!
But just as she was about to say something, Qian Renxue laughter suddenly rang out.
"Heh."
"You three..."
"I've done some research on the so-called 'Golden Iron Triangle'!"
"The Triple Spirit Fusion Technique does indeed unleash unexpected strength, and it's something that gives you some grounds for pride!"
"But..."
Qian Renxue paused, then turned around, her gaze landing on Yu Xiaogang.
Since that incident, with her status, it had been easy for her to investigate Yu Xiaogang background.
So she could easily speak about the "Golden Iron Triangle" now.
"To think you know our name!"
Yu Xiaogang, seeing Qian Renxue cold eyes, instinctively took a step back, but the warmth of Liu Erlong's arm around his gave him some confidence.
He then stubbornly said:
"You spoiled rich kid, you may have worked hard, but you have no sense of tact!"
"Xiaogang!"
Liu Erlong furrowed her brows, once again pulling hard on his arm, not wanting him to offend anyone like this.
What merchant association could survive in Tiandou City without being capable?
This behavior was truly unwise!
But when she heard Yu Xiaogang words, Liu Erlong finally realized why he was acting so recklessly today.
In fact, she already knew about the incident at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy Soul Battle Arena.
She also thought it was wrong that Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and others had allowed Tang San actions.
However, since she was part of the "Golden Iron Triangle," her feelings leaned more toward Yu Xiaogang and the others.
So she hadn't paid too much attention to the matter or investigated it deeply.
And since that day, when Yu Xiaogang and others came to seek her out, she had already noticed that Yu Xiaogang emotions were abnormal.
So she had been keeping him company during this time.
She had even allowed him to act however he wished.
But just now, when Qian Renxue mentioned "the past," she suddenly understood why Yu Xiaogang emotions were so out of control.
Rumor had it that the woman named Li Yu, with a four-ring Soul Sect's strength, had a soul ring configuration of "three purple and one black."
Such an unusual soul ring combination might shock ordinary people.
But for someone like Yu Xiaogang, who had introduced the "Top Ten Core Competitiveness Theories of the Soul Master World," it was completely revolutionary!
His theories seemed to have turned into a joke!
So...
In Liu Erlong's eyes, Yu Xiaogang was venting his emotions!
Normally, she would have indulged him since Yu Xiaogang held a special place in her heart.
But today...
She was facing an unknown entity, and even though the other party's soul power seemed low, the fact that they could say the words "Golden Iron Triangle" so calmly meant something extraordinary.
"Xiaogang, stop talking!"
Liu Erlong's tone became more serious as she stepped forward and stood between him and Qian Renxue.
"Li Qian, we were in the wrong. If you no longer wish to invest in us at Shrek Academy, then let's end it here, everything is up to you!"
"Xiaogang has been under some stress and is not in the right state of mind, I hope you can bear with us!"
"As an apology, the previous terms we discussed can be completely nullified. If you have someone in mind, you can send them to our academy, and I will still give them a fair opportunity to compete!"
After saying this, Liu Erlong bowed deeply to Qian Renxue.
"Er Long!"
Yu Xiaogang face turned pale with embarrassment, anger, and frustration.
He never expected that the usually gentle Liu Erlong would rebel against him today!
And in front of outsiders, no less, when he was standing up for her!
He reached out to pull Liu Erlong back, not wanting her to act this way.
But Liu Erlong's cultivation was far beyond his—just a slap from her could easily kill him.
So he was completely powerless to stop her!
Yu Xiaogang face turned ashen, as if he had suffered an unprecedented humiliation.
"You're disgusting, full of hate!"
Finally, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze back to Qian Renxue, his voice full of venom and hatred.
It was as if he had some kind of deep, unresolvable grudge against her.
Qian Renxue didn't understand, but she didn't need to.
Because after today, Yu Xiaogang and she would indeed have a grudge that could never be reconciled.
She spoke in a calm tone:
"Keep an eye on them, I'm going to stretch my limbs."
