--- Chapter 75 ---

"Bibi Dong's son, I have been waiting for you..." Liu Erlong calmly sat on a chair and silently looked at him.

"You're still not answering my question?" Yunlong stated while frowning at her, which made Liu Erlong softly giggle.

"Well, I only accepted your mother's offers, that's all." Liu Erlong sincerely answered while pouring warm tea into a cup.

Yunlong stared at her for a few seconds and wondered about something, which made him somewhat confused with her situation. "What kind of offer did my mother give to you?" He asked.

"Hmm, nothing special, she offered me a rank and instructor's job." Liu Erlong replied while taking a sip of her warm tea.

"Huh, Instructor?" Yunlong reacted with a surprised expression as he knows that Liu Erlong is the blue tyrant academy's headmaster.

Liu Erlong only nodded her head when looking at Yunlong's reaction and said, "Why don't you sit down, so we could talk comfortably."

"It's not like I'm going to attack you anyway." She added while pouring another cup of tea for him.

"Young master...?" Chu Xiaoyu suddenly entered the room, followed by her fellow maids, which made Liu Erlong glance at them.

"Are they your maids?" Liu Erlong examined the three maids from heads to the toes, "They are cute and talented."

Liu Erlong already sensed the three maids' presence when Yunlong barged into the room. Still, she ignored them as the most important thing was meeting Bibi Dong's son.

Yunlong walked forward and took a seat in front of Liu Erlong, which made her shift her gaze back to him.

"Let's skip the formality. My name is Liu Erlong. I am your mother's acquaintance and rival in the past." Liu Erlong stated while pushing the warm tea to him.

"I don't have to answer that, right. Since you probably already know my name." Yunlong responded while taking the tea.

"Mm, Bibi Dong is right. You are different, even though your appearance is similar to that man. you are the complete opposite of him." Liu Erlong said with a bit of melancholy, remembering the man she once loved was living with another woman.

"Don't compare me with that trash…" Yunlong coldly said, which made Liu Erlong flinch for a moment and chuckle afterward.

"Hahaha… Trash, huh." Liu Erlong laughed while looking at the ceiling and closing her eyes.

"You're right. Xiaogang is trash man." She added with a ridiculing tone.

'What actually happened to her? Wasn't she supposed to be in love with that man, but here she agreed that he's trash?' Yunlong thought while remembering her words about the man she loved betrayed her for another woman.

'Don't tell me that man really gained another woman… Really, after abandoning Bibi Dong, now he is abandoning Liu Erlong!' He continued with a complicated expression as this world has slightly changed because of his presence.

"But, to think you already know about Xiaogang. It means you should've known me when we met in heaven dou city, right." Liu Erlong opened her eyes and looked at him with a frown on her face.

"I just don't want to meet you... Do you think you and my mother had a good relationship?" Yunlong responded while giving a grim look.

"It's a simple question. The answer is no." He coldly stated, which made Liu Erlong quiet.

They stared at each other for a good few minutes until Bai Xue entered the room and broke the awkward situation. "M-Maybe, we could continue after lunch. It's already noon." Bai Xue nervously said.

Yunlong sighed and massaged his temple, "Sure, let's take lunch first." He responded.

Liu Erlong nodded her head in agreement and stared at Bai Xue with an appreciation as it's rare to see a girl who was brave enough to break that kind of situation.

'Well, rather than that, the other girls don't really care about the mood.' Liu Erlong thought while taking a look at Chu Xiaoyu and Yu Ning'er, who calmly stood behind Bai Xue.

--- after lunch ---

Liu Erlong looked at Yunlong, who is still looking at her while eating his sandwich.

"Let's straight to the point…" Liu Erlong said while cleaning her mouth with a small handkerchief.

"Bibi Dong wants me to fight you," She stated, which made Yunlong stop his movement and look at her with a bewildered expression.

"Huh, my mother said that," Yunlong responded with a disbelief tone, to which Liu Erlong responded with a nod.

"I don't have a problem with a fight… But, what is the point of fighting me?" He asked as he got confused by his mother's plan.

"She said to resolve something in my heart…" Liu Erlong quietly yet firmly answered as she felt empty after seeing Yu Xiaogang with another woman.

--- a few days ago ---

"There is no way, right?" Liu Erlong muttered while entering the nuoding city.

She asked about the nuoding academy, which is not far away as it only took a few minutes for her to arrive at the gate.

The guard stopped her, but she calmly asked for a man named Yu Xiaogang, which confused them since they never heard that name.

"Do you know about the grandmaster?" Liu Erlong asked, which made the guard nod their heads.

The guard said the grandmaster lives in the back academy, making her happy and hoping what Bibi Dongxue said is a lie.

After exchanging a few words with the guards, they let Liu Erlong enter. She instantly moved toward the back of the academy.

Liu Erlong walked into a small garden and found a familiar man, who's the man she waited all this time.

"Xiaogang…" Liu Erlong looked at the man, but when she's about to walk toward him.

A woman with a simple appearance and in her late twenties suddenly approached Yu Xiaogang. She kissed him passionately, which made Liu Erlong's body tremble.

'No, she's only seduced him. There is no way-.' Liu Erlong's thought stopped when looking at Yu Xiaogang, who responded the woman kissed with a gentle smile on his face.

.

.

The world abruptly seemed to have stopped and lost its color. Liu Erlong looked at this scene with a somewhat neutral expression on her face.

Black clouds start gathering, and a moment later, rain falling from the skies. Still, Liu Erlong keeps standing there with the same exact expression.

She kept emptily looking at the garden, even though Yu Xiaogang and the unknown woman have long gone, entering the small cottage on the garden's side.

'Why don't I feel anything?' Liu Erlong suddenly whispered while hearing faint laughter in the small cottage.

'He's there, but why won't my body move?' She added while raising her gaze at the black-clouded sky.

Liu Erlong is not feeling any anger or sadness. Her heart is empty.

Bibi Dongxue, who observed Liu Erlong all this time, walked in front of her and gave her an umbrella. It stopped the rain from touching her body, which obviously already damp.

"I know that feeling… It's empty, right?" Bibi Dongxue's voice suddenly echoed in her head.

"Empty…" Liu Erlong muttered while looking at Bibi Dongxue.

"You need to fill that emptiness. Meet my son and fight him. You probably would find something." Bibi Dongxue smiled, which made Liu Erlong realize something is wrong with her heart, but she doesn't know what it is.

--- the present ---

"We only have to fight, right?" Yunlong suddenly asked, which snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Mm, we only have to fight." Liu Erlong nodded her head.

Yunlong released a small sigh and looked her in the eyes.

"Sure, let's fight."
