Douluo: Protects Our Spirit Hall

Liu Erlong didn't notice Yu Xiaogang's suddenly darkened face, and quickly walked into the reception room holding Ye Qifeng hand in hand.

“Boss Fu, Xiaogang, let me introduce to you, this is Xiaofeng, my younger brother.”

Hearing Flender's question, Liu Erlong smiled, his beautiful face instantly filled with a touch of joy, and then in a soft and hearty voice, he introduced Ye Qifeng to the two people who had been waiting in the reception room for a long time. Introduced.

 “Brother, younger brother?”

Flender’s eyes widened slightly. Although he was surprised, he didn’t seem to be too surprised:

“Erlong, is this Brother Xiaofeng the same brother you mentioned to me in your letter, the one who jointly funded the establishment of Lanba Academy with you?”

“Yes, Xiaofeng is Lanba Academy.”

Liu Erlong nodded lightly, with a happy smile on his face. He was about to continue introducing Ye Qifeng's identity information in detail, but was interrupted by a hoarse and unpleasant voice.

 “When did you get a younger brother?”

The one who interrupted Liu Erlong was none other than Master Yu Xiaogang.

At this time, his face had completely darkened, and his brows were deeply furrowed. He first glanced at Ye Qifeng coldly, then looked straight at Liu Erlong, and asked in a cold voice.

 The words were full of questioning, and also revealed obvious displeasure and anger.

Liu Erlong, whose strength has made great progress, noticed the gloomy aura on Yu Xiaogang almost instantly, and also sensed his displeasure from his questioning tone.

Liu Erlong’s beautiful eyebrows twitched imperceptibly, feeling slightly annoyed in his heart, but he still suppressed it and patiently explained:

“That’s right, Xiaofeng is my younger brother. He has been for several years. At the beginning”

“You recognize your younger brother?” Liu Erlong wanted to explain clearly, but Yu Xiaogang didn’t seem to want to hear it and interrupted her again:

 “How can you just call a stranger your brother?”

At this time, Yu Xiaogang's questioning tone seemed to be more intense, and even had a hint of inciting an accusation.

 “Why can’t I recognize Xiaofeng as my younger brother?”

Liu Erlong was slightly startled, then subconsciously asked a question, and then continued:

“First of all, Xiaofeng is not a stranger, he is someone I recognize.”

"Secondly, Xiaofeng has saved my life. Without him, I might have died a long time ago. Besides, Xiaofeng has done many things for me. I will never be able to repay his kindness in this life. To recognize him as my younger brother is already a blessing." I took advantage of it."

Hearing what Liu Erlong said, Yu Xiaogang was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect Ye Qifeng to have such a great kindness to Liu Erlong, and it seemed to be very important in Liu Erlong's eyes.

Logically speaking, Yu Xiaogang, as Liu Erlong's sworn brother, cousin, and even his former lover, should express his gratitude to Ye Qifeng, who had a great debt of gratitude to Liu Erlong.

 But the fact that Liu Erlong recognized Ye Qifeng as his younger brother and was too close to him made Yu Xiaogang feel dissatisfied.

He had a gloomy face, looked at Liu Erlong deeply with a scrutinizing gaze, and then reminded him in a deep voice:

 “Erlong, don’t forget your identity.”

 The smile on Liu Erlong's lips gradually disappeared:

 “Xiaogang, what do you mean?”

Yu Xiaogang seemed not to notice the change of expression on Liu Erlong's face, but instead his expression became serious:

"Erlong, have you forgotten who you are? Have you forgotten whose blood you have? How can you just recognize a strange boy as your brother? Have you asked your second uncle? And what's more? , have you asked me?"

After listening to Yu Xiaogang's words, Liu Erlong finally couldn't help it anymore, his face suddenly darkened, he frowned and looked at Yu Xiaogang, and his tone became a little rude:

"Xiao Gang, I am free to choose who I want to be my brother. I don't think I need to ask your opinion, right?"

"Also, don't mention that person to me, and don't tell me about his identity. You just wanted to talk about the family. That's none of my business. I'm not from that family. Besides, you yourself have been kicked out. Who are you to teach me a lesson?"

Yu Xiaogang’s questioning and arrogant expression suddenly froze on his face:

 “Erlong, you.”

Liu Erlong didn’t give Yu Xiaogang a chance to speak. He looked at him with a slight frown, and then continued:

"Maybe you still have thoughts about that family in your heart, but that's your business. Don't get involved with me. The rules of that family have nothing to do with me."

"I can do whatever I want. If I want to recognize Xiaofeng as my younger brother, I can recognize Xiaofeng as my younger brother. No one can care about me, including you."

Yu Xiaogang finally understood the meaning conveyed in Liu Erlong’s words. He stared at Liu Erlong in disbelief with his eyes wide open:

“Erlong, do you want to give up hope of returning to the family? Haven’t you always wanted to give your mother a status? If you return to the family”

When Liu Erlong heard this, his eyes were slightly out of focus, as if he was lost in memories, and he looked a little sad. After a while, he let out a long breath:

“Yes, I worked so hard back then just to seek justice for my mother and to ask for a legitimate status from that person on her behalf.”

"But nothing matters now. Who would have thought that that guy is actually the second in charge of that family, your second uncle?"

Having said this, Liu Erlong raised his eyelids and looked at Yu Xiaogang, as if he had put down a heavy burden, and smiled faintly:

"Speaking of which, maybe we should all be grateful that he showed up in time and didn't let us get married smoothly and make a big mistake."

 “Xiaogang, do you think so?”

Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth and wanted to say "unreasonable", but looking at Liu Erlong's eyes that gradually looked indifferent and angry, he didn't dare to really speak out the words for a while, so he could only swallow it hard in the end. Went back into the stomach.

 The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

 …

“Xiao Gang, Er Long, it’s not easy for us to get together once, you two, don’t quarrel over trivial matters.”

At this time, Flanders moved between Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang, blocking their sight, then turned back and glared at Yu Xiaogang, frowned slightly and whispered:

 “Xiaogang, what’s the matter with you?”

"Before coming here, did I warn you to speak properly and not make Erlong angry again? Why didn't you listen? Why do you have to quarrel with Erlong every time you come here? Are you free?"

"Hurry up and get rid of your bad temper. We are here to discuss things, not to quarrel. Don't forget the purpose of our trip."

 Yu Xiaogang felt a little unhappy after being scolded by Flanders, but thinking about the purpose of coming here, he calmed down his bad temper a little, then waved his hand and looked away with a cold snort. And when Flanders was admonishing Yu Xiaogang to curb his bad temper, Ye Qifeng also pinched Liu Erlong's soft palm and back, waking her up from her feeling of disappointment and annoyance.

Feeling the warmth in his hands, Liu Erlong subconsciously looked up at Ye Qifeng's handsome face, wanting to say "sorry".

But when he saw the latter gently shaking his head to express that there was no need to say more, his heart suddenly warmed up, and a warm and soft arc was outlined on his bright face, and he smiled knowingly.

 …

 Under the comfort of Flanders and Ye Qifeng, everyone finally sat down calmly.

However, the originally happy situation became a little awkward because of the dispute between Liu Erlong and Yu Xiao just now, and the atmosphere became even more delicate.

Flender and Yu Xiaogang sat on the seats on the same side of the coffee table.

Ye Qifeng and Liu Erlong were sitting next to each other opposite them.

 “Dean Flanders, Master Jade, hello.”

Without Liu Erlong's introduction, after Ye Qifeng sat down, he nodded to Flanders and Yu Xiaogang opposite him with a gentle smile and said hello.

 “Brother Xiaofeng, hello.”

Seeing Ye Qifeng greeting him, Flanders raised a symbolic and cunning smile on his lips, and said hello back with just the right amount of politeness.

Yu Xiaogang didn't speak. He just nodded lightly and showed no further expression, as if he didn't care about Ye Qifeng.

 Although his temper has calmed down, his face still looks very ugly, especially because Ye Qifeng didn't feel very good to him.

The other person seemed to be handsome and gentle, but he couldn't help but feel a trembling fear, as if sitting opposite him was a wild beast that wanted to devour him, making him feel particularly dangerous.

Hence, Yu Xiaogang didn't want to give Ye Qifeng any good looks.

 But what he did made Liu Erlong, who was sitting next to Ye Qifeng, frown.

Flender, who had been observing Liu Erlong, noticed the change in Liu Erlong's expression and quickly shouted: "Haha!"

 “I know this Brother Xiaofeng.”

“Erlong told me that she encountered a crisis a few years ago and when she was dying, this little brother appeared and saved Erlong’s life, and then”

With a smile on his face, Flanders' bearded shoehorn recounted the crisis that Liu Erlong had described in his contact letter and the process of recognizing Ye Qifeng as his younger brother.

Of course, he said these words to Yu Xiaogang.

After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang seemed a little surprised. No matter what he had done to Liu Erlong, the years of getting along and the former brother-sister relationship were not completely fake.

“Erlong, is what Flanders said true? Have you ever really almost lost your life?”

Yu Xiaogang's lips were pursed and his throat was dry. It took him a long time to hold back a sentence.

Facing Yu Xiaogang's question, Liu Erlong had a slightly complicated mood, but in the end he just nodded lightly and said "hmm".

Flanders heard Liu Erlong's gentle "hmm" and looked at her beautiful and very young face, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

 “Have you not told Xiaogang about the past?”

After a moment, he seemed to have noticed something, and subconsciously glanced at Yu Xiaogang, and then at Ye Qifeng, who was always smiling warmly across from him. Finally, his eyes fell back on Liu Erlong, and he asked with a bit of surprise in his heart. road.

 “There’s nothing to say, it’s all over.”

Liu Erlong looked calm on the surface and waved his hand carelessly, but in his heart he muttered, is it useful to tell him? Will he listen? He always quarrels with me every time he comes over, haha, no one is too lazy to tell him.

Yu Xiaogang’s expression changed several times, he looked at Liu Erlong apologetically, and suddenly said:

“Erlong, I’m sorry, I couldn’t appear by your side in time when you were in danger.”

Liu Erlong glanced at him lightly, you? Say goodbye. With your little strength, if it was you who appeared back then, I'm afraid the grass on my grave would be more than ten feet high. Fortunately, the person who came to rescue me was Xiaofeng.

She put a smile on her face and said calmly:

“At that time, I was facing a scale-armored beast that was over 40,000 years old. Its strength was comparable to that of a Soul Saint-level warrior. Even if you were present, it would not help. I had to focus on protecting you.”

“But in my current state, I definitely couldn’t protect you. If you were here, I’m afraid you wouldn’t survive today.”

Yu Xiaogang was immediately choked up when he told the truth, and his mouth was wide open and speechless.

“Okay, those are things in the past, so don’t mention them again. I’m living a good life now.”

Liu Erlong waved his hand to relieve his embarrassment, and then forcibly changed the topic to another direction:

“Let’s talk about you. Your coming here this time should be more than just to visit me. You seem to have something else to say?”

 Flender and Yu Xiaogang looked at each other. Flender seemed a little embarrassed to speak, but Yu Xiaogang didn't seem to have so many scruples. He had a straight face and looked at Liu Erlong:

“Erlong, what do you think about the matter we discussed with you last time?”

 Is it really because of that? Liu Erlong sighed deeply in his heart, glanced at the two people sitting opposite him with complicated eyes, and finally shook his head slowly:

“I’m sorry, Boss Fu, Xiaogang, I’m afraid I can’t agree to your request.”

Flender opened his mouth slightly, a little confused, but he was too embarrassed to speak.

Yu Xiaogang frowned and stood up suddenly, seeming a little excited:

"Why? Why can't you agree? After so many years of friendship between us, can't you just step back and be accommodating?"

 “Xiaogang, don’t get excited, I haven’t finished speaking yet.”

Looking at Yu Xiaogang, whose expression suddenly became excited, Liu Erlong felt helpless and slightly unhappy at the same time, but she did not show it, but calmed down her tone and explained in a soft voice:

“This is not a matter of friendship or not, but I can’t do it because Lanba Academy does not belong to me alone.”

“So, there’s nothing to talk about?”

Yu Xiaogang was obviously dissatisfied with Liu Erlong's answer, and his tone was unknowingly cold.

"It's not that we don't have to talk about it," Liu Erlong shook his head, not wanting to explain too much. She had already said some things many times, but Yu Xiaogang just didn't believe it, and she had no choice. Now, she had to leave Ye Qifeng was carried out, "But you shouldn't talk to me, you should talk to its real owner." (End of Chapter)
