Thinking, Xiaogang's expression also became more resolute than ever before.
His figure had just appeared on the heavenly curtain.
He had already stood up.
He asked the heavenly curtain his first question.
"First question, I want to ask, did Yu Xiaogang truly love Bibi Dong?"
The questions from the heavenly curtain's lucky audience could be clearly heard throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
And precisely because of this.
Xiaogang's words this time resonated in the ears of all the viewers on the Douluo Continent.
The moment they heard this voice.
A hint of confusion appeared on the faces of everyone present.
For a moment, they couldn't quite figure out what Grandmaster was up to.
The Shrek Academy group had a similar reaction.
Xiao Wu even opened her mouth, unable to resist muttering softly.
"Grandmaster, what is he doing? Doesn't he know if he loved her or not? What's the point of asking the heavenly curtain now?"
After a moment, it was Tang San who reacted first.
He took over the conversation, saying.
"Grandmaster knows, but outsiders don't."
"Grandmaster isn't asking a question; he's actually trying to excuse himself."
"After all, in his current state, whatever he says, outsiders won't believe it. But if these words come from the heavenly curtain, then the nature of it is completely different."
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Wu suddenly understood.
Ning Rongrong immediately spoke, pressing on, "The key is, will Grandmaster's move work?"
"Whether it works or not, we'll know if we keep watching, won't we?"
Tang San looked up at the heavenly curtain.
After saying that, he didn't want to say more.
Instead, he looked up, his gaze like a knife, staring intently at the heavenly curtain before him.
After all, Yu Xiaogang was his esteemed teacher.
They say when the city gates catch fire, the fish in the moat suffer.
If Yu Xiaogang were branded a scumbag.
It would also greatly affect Tang San.
Thinking, Tang San's heart couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Fortunately, in the next instant.
The heavenly curtain's answer did not disappoint him.
It very simply gave two words.
...
[Loved her!]
...
Seeing this answer.
The people of Douluo Continent were in an uproar.
Some smart people had vaguely guessed what Yu Xiaogang was about to do next, and their eyes couldn't help but show a hint of strangeness.
But Yu Xiaogang didn't care what outsiders were thinking.
Seeing the heavenly curtain's reply.
His whole being was invigorated.
He immediately spoke, throwing out his second question, saying.
"Second question, did Yu Xiaogang, from beginning to end, ever think of harming Bibi Dong? Did he ever harbor even a trace of ill will towards Bibi Dong?"
...
[No!]
...
This time.
The heavenly curtain's reply was equally direct.
It's done!
Yu Xiaogang saw these two words appear.
His entire heart trembled.
He knew that the plan had largely succeeded.
Regaining his composure, he was no longer in a hurry to ask the third question.
Taking advantage of the projection of his figure on the heavenly curtain at this moment.
Instead, he put on an indignant expression and spoke to the onlookers of the entire Douluo Continent, saying.
"I know that when the heavenly curtain was released, many people on the Douluo Continent called me a scumbag, called me shameless! They thought my methods were despicable, and that my approach to Bibi Dong had impure motives.
Then I also want to ask you.
If you were in the same situation as I was at that time, do you have the confidence to do better than me?"
"I did use schemes and tricks. But I only wanted to get closer to Bibi Dong.
I did fantasize about Bibi Dong becoming the Supreme Pontiff in the future, and the entire Spirit Hall's power indirectly serving me, helping me wipe away the humiliation in front of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and vent my anger.
But that's all there was to it.
As a young man who was driven out of his clan at the time, isn't it normal to harbor resentment towards the clan?
From another perspective, wasn't I also planning a future with Bibi Dong?"
"If you must say I was wrong, then my mistake was that, at that time, being poor and fallen into the dust, I shouldn't have fallen in love with Bibi Dong, who was high in the clouds!"
"Yes, my methods were despicable! I was scheming, but everything I did was just to get closer to Bibi Dong, to be with her better!
You all say I'm a scumbag, you all say my motives are impure.
Then ask yourselves.
When you fall in love with someone, what is truly 'love at first sight' and not just lust at first sight?"
"The world says I am wrong!"
"But I believe I am not wrong!"
"If I must be wrong, then it is love's fault!"
"It's all fate's fault!
I only made a mistake all men make!
The mistake was that the moonlight was too beautiful that night, and the wind was too gentle.
The mistake was that when I left the city, I took an extra glance at Bibi Dong!
Go ahead and criticize me.
I, Yu Xiaogang, am upright and honorable!
I, Yu Xiaogang, have a clear conscience!!"
Yu Xiaogang spoke loudly.
His words were powerful and resounding.
After he finished speaking.
Everyone present couldn't help but fall silent again.
For a moment, they wanted to refute, but didn't know where to begin.
Within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Even Second Uncle Yu Luomian, who had previously looked down on Yu Xiaogang, couldn't help but feel a hint of emotion after hearing him speak.
He felt that Yu Xiaogang's ability to rise to the position of Heaven Dou Empire's Imperial Advisor was indeed not without merit.
"Gangzi's mouth is a liar's ghost. This nephew of mine truly has a knack for twisting black into white. No wonder even that woman, Bibi Dong, was once completely infatuated with him."
"No, not just Bibi Dong, but Erlong too..."
Yu Luomian sighed.
However, when he thought of his daughter, Liu Erlong, his expression couldn't help but become a little more awkward.
At the same time.
Inside Shrek Academy.
Hearing Yu Xiaogang speak like that.
Flender's face couldn't help but show a hint of nervousness.
He immediately turned his head and asked Liu Erlong beside him with concern.
"Erlong, are you... are you alright?"
Seeing his face full of concern, Liu Erlong was instead bewildered and asked, "Why, what's wrong with me?"
"Xiaogang said he liked Bibi Dong in front of so many people. Aren't you upset?"
Flender was surprised.
He looked at Liu Erlong beside him.
He didn't understand why she was so calm at the moment.
And hearing him say that, Liu Erlong couldn't help but smile again, saying.
"What's the big deal?"
"Xiaogang said '曾經' (once upon a time) only."
"Once upon a time is once upon a time, and now is now, isn't it?"
"I believe Xiaogang has completely moved on, and I believe in myself even more, I am definitely not inferior to Bibi Dong!"
When Liu Erlong said this.
She straightened her back.
Revealing her proud curves.
Looking full of confidence.
...
See, those who love you don't need your explanations.
They will help you explain it themselves.
...
Flender looked at the resolute Liu Erlong beside him, sighing in his heart.
He also thought of when they first met, traveling the jianghu together.
Yu Xiaogang always thought that his previous withdrawal from pursuing Liu Erlong was magnanimous, considering the bigger picture.
Little did he know.
Flender had actually lost the courage to pursue her after witnessing Liu Erlong's similar self-interpretations again and again.
After all, love requires mutual effort.
What good would it do if he walked 99 steps?
Liu Erlong wouldn't take that crucial step.
Everything would be like the moon in the water or flowers in a mirror, all in vain.
Thinking, he looked up again, at Flender on the heavenly curtain, and couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration.
Putting everything else aside, Yu Xiaogang's courage to operate against the odds.
And his eloquence.
Flender truly had to admit defeat and feel inferior.
"This wave, Xiaogang truly won big..."
Not whitewashing Gangzi, just setting a flag now to make the slap in the face better. Everyone, rest assured.
