Had all the affection they once shared truly vanished into nothingness?
Otherwise, how could Bi Bidong be so heartless?
He himself had stooped so low, employing both carrot and stick to plead for mercy to this extent—a situation that would have been absolutely impossible before.
Yet the other party still maintained a firm stance of rejection!
"Affection? You accuse me of lacking affection? Yu Xiaogang, let me tell you, everyone in this world may accuse me, but you, Yu Xiaogang, do not have that right!"
Bi Bidong exploded in rage when she heard Yu Xiaogang actually bring up the old matter of affection.
As she struck her wand to the ground, a fierce soul wind erupted!
"Sigh, Bi Bidong, if you want me to leave, then I'll go. In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed. You remain as beautiful as ever, while I've aged. I'd like to call you 'Dong'er' one more time, but alas..."
At that moment, the Master turned with a look of utter dejection.
A posture of deep, heartfelt confession.
Once, he had the opportunity to have the Martial Soul Hall at his disposal, yet he did not know how to cherish it.
Now, all he could do was gaze up at his esteemed ex-partner.
Despondent, he turned to leave.
"Yu Xiaogang, you think you have the right to use the name 'Dong'er'?"
Bi Bidong said coldly.
The emotions of twenty years ago had long since dissipated like smoke.
In all the years since he left, no one knew what she had been through.
"I may not be worthy, but neither do you deserve my love anymore, not since the moment you moved against my disciple!"
The Master spoke his piece and turned away.
If the way of Martial Soul Hall was no longer open, then it was time to leave.
After all, the competition was about to begin!
He was determined to turn his disciple into a dark horse!
And as for the secret of the Twin Martial Souls, he would find it!
"Love? Ha, that word is disgusting when it comes from you!"
Bi Bidong sneered, as if she had just heard a joke.
Indeed, that word was truly repulsive coming from such a man.
"And let me make this clear today, if you don't listen to me about Tang San and Ye Feng, you'll suffer and suffer big time!"
Standing at the doorway, the Master paused,
then turned to look back at Bi Bidong,
before he clenched his fists and walked out of Martial Soul Hall.
He hadn't expected Bi Bidong to doubt him.
His visit this time was truly for her benefit.
If she had helped Tang San, he was confident he could persuade Tang San not to oppose Martial Soul Hall in the future, even if Tang San's father, Tang Hao, advised him in person; Tang San would surely listen to his own advice.
Yet, Bi Bidong had refused.
Without looking back, the Master walked out.
This woman was no longer the Bi Bidong he knew from years ago.
Better to head back for now.
"A big loss? Helping the son of my enemy is the real loss! What do you, Yu Xiaogang, know!"
Bi Bidong murmured to herself.
If she helped Tang San, he might grow up to become a threat to her.
Only if she was mad would she ever do such a thing under the seduction of Yu Xiaogang.
Furthermore, weren't you, Yu Xiaogang, the superior one, the scholarly Master?
Then work out the secret of the Twin Martial Souls yourself.
As for Ye Feng.
If he couldn't be subdued, he would indeed be a threat.
But it likely wouldn't be lethal.
After all, there was no enmity between them.
Moreover, he was a man.
Men care about only two things: power and lust.
Even someone like Yu Xiaogang, who claims to be free of desire, is still striving for power.
He wants everyone's recognition.
Recognition that would absolve him of the humiliation and exile he suffered from his family in the past!
Of course, he couldn't achieve recognition on his own.
Because he was inherently flawed.
So he thought to use his disciple instead.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to Martial Soul Hall to be submissive and beg for the secret of the Twin Martial Souls.
He wasn't like this before.
Proud to a fault.
Speaking of Ye Feng,
she had offered him the position of a quasi-Elder in Martial Soul Hall before,
and had also arranged a corresponding status for him within the Tiandou Empire.
Yet he still seemed uninterested.
As a man, if he's not interested in power, then it's likely women that he desires.
In Martial Soul Hall, there are women of notable beauty.
For example, her disciple Hulena.
Who was one in ten thousand among beauties.
By having her accompany Ye Feng, she was not worried he wouldn't side with them at Martial Soul Hall, right?
Her disciple, along with Ye Feng, that would be the real combination of power.
Three Soul Bones? What's that!
For someone like Ye Feng, even ten Soul Bones would do!
In the end, the victory would still belong to Martial Soul Hall.
If Ye Feng isn't satisfied with just Hulena, then Bi Bidong had another card to play.
She knew of the good relationship between him and Xue Qinghe.
If he were to find out Xue Qinghe was actually a woman, what then?
It would surely be interesting!
She was convinced it would be very interesting!
If he truly coveted beauty, she'd give him her disciple and her daughter for all she cared.
As long as he remained dedicated to aiding Martial Soul Hall.
Her daughter's beauty was even something she herself was envious of.
There probably wasn't a man in the world who wouldn't like her.
Bi Bidong always had vision and was open-minded!
If Ye Feng supported her,
becoming the empress of Soul Land would be a piece of cake.
Imagine, so young yet with such a high martial prowess, what heights he would reach in the future?
Immeasurable!
Time passed by.
And in the blink of an eye, several days had gone by.
