Chapter 129 Huo Yuhao Slaps Yu Xiaogang.
"Yuhao, I admit that some of my writing did reference books from the Spirit Hall. That's because I had the right to freely enter and leave the Spirit Hall at the time, and it was personally approved by the current Pope of the Spirit Hall. Yuhao, actually, I have some connection with the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong."
Yu Xiaogang's voice carried an undisguised pride. He straightened his back, his face full of inscrutable wisdom, as if recalling those glorious past events.
He continued, "You may not know this, but when I was young, I served as an advisor in the Spirit Hall for a period of time. Pope Bibi Dong favored me greatly and even granted me the privilege of freely entering and leaving the Spirit Hall."
As he said this, Yu Xiaogang puffed out his chest, his face full of pride.
However, Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others present naturally didn't believe what Yu Xiaogang said. They exchanged skeptical glances, and Ning Rongrong couldn't help but whisper to Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, is there something wrong with this guy's head? How could someone like him know the Pope of the Spirit Hall?"
Yu Xiaogang clearly sensed the distrust of the students around him. However, his face was full of arrogance. After all, he had that thing in his hand. As long as he took it out, Yu Xiaogang could imagine Huo Yuhao bowing and scraping before him.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Huo Yuhao with a twisted mind. Since this kid was so ungrateful, he would make Huo Yuhao kneel at his feet and make this genius lose face!
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang suppressed the surging excitement in his heart. He took a deep breath, tried to remain calm, and then asked Huo Yuhao in a profound tone: "Yuhao, if I'm not mistaken, you should be a core disciple of the Spirit Hall, right?"
When faced with Yu Xiaogang's question, Huo Yuhao calmly replied, "That's right, I am indeed a core member of the Spirit Hall. Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's reply, Yu Xiaogang's lips curled into a slight, almost imperceptible smile. He straightened his back again, his gaze revealing an air of authority and confidence. Then, he slowly took out a token that shimmered with a mysterious light from his robes.
"Since that's the case, Huo Yuhao, kneel down now!" Yu Xiaogang's voice suddenly became serious and powerful, as if carrying an irresistible command.
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's sudden command, the surrounding crowd was taken aback, turning their gazes to him, wondering what had happened. They then saw that Yu Xiaogang was holding a token in his hand, which gleamed brightly in the sunlight.
On this token, exquisitely carved are a chrysanthemum, a ghostly pattern, a majestic Clear Sky Hammer, a sharp Seven Kill Sword, and a lifelike Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex. These patterns are the symbols of the Spirit Hall Elder's Token; seeing the Elder's Token is like seeing a Spirit Hall elder!
This scene shocked everyone present, especially Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and others who were familiar with the Elder's Token. They had always thought Yu Xiaogang was just a charlatan, but they never expected that he would actually possess an Elder's Token.
The others around them also started talking, curious about Yu Xiaogang's true identity and Huo Yuhao's reaction.
In that instant, the entire scene became extremely tense, with everyone's eyes focused on Yu Xiaogang and Huo Yuhao, awaiting what would happen next.
At that moment, a smug smile of triumph immediately appeared on Dai Mubai's face. He seemed to already see Huo Yuhao submitting to the authority of the Spirit Hall elders, so he couldn't wait to jump out, pointing at Huo Yuhao, his tone full of provocation and mockery: "Huo Yuhao, did you hear that? Your Spirit Hall elders want you to kneel down. Aren't you very arrogant, Huo Yuhao? I want to see whether you kneel or not in the face of your Spirit Hall elders' orders."
As soon as Dai Mubai finished speaking, Yu Xiaogang's face also revealed a smug expression, his eyes flashing with an arrogant and domineering air. He seemed to be enjoying the power and sense of control he had at this moment, as if the whole world was under his control.
Flander stood by, watching all this with a heart full of worry. "Xiaogang, I think we should leave it at that. Yuhao is, after all, a student of the academy; please give me some face." Flander's words carried a plea; he hoped Yu Xiaogang would consider the academy's reputation and not let the situation escalate further.
After all, he knew that Huo Yuhao was the proudest one, and making him kneel down in public would definitely hurt Huo Yuhao.
However, Yu Xiaogang was already blinded by his twisted mind and lust for power. How could he listen to Flander's advice? He simply waved his hand, his face arrogant and undisguised in his disdain: "Flander, this is an internal matter of our Spirit Hall. You'd better not interfere."
Then, Yu Xiaogang turned around again to face Huo Yuhao, his eyes filled with authority and command: "Huo Yuhao, how dare you! With an elder of the Spirit Hall in front of you, you still don't kneel down!"
Not to be outdone, Dai Mubai chimed in, following Yu Xiaogang's lead: "Yeah, Huo Yuhao, aren't you from the Spirit Hall? Why aren't you kneeling down when you see your elders?" Dai Mubai's words carried a gloating tone.
Ning Rongrong, who was standing next to Huo Yuhao, stepped forward without hesitation and blocked Huo Yuhao's way. Her eyes were filled with anger: "Yu Xiaogang!"
Yu Xiaogang tried to remain calm, but his voice still trembled slightly: "So it's Ning Rongrong. You also want to protect Huo Yuhao? But this is a matter for my Spirit Hall..."
"Fuck your mother!"
This rude remark stunned Yu Xiaogang.
He stared in disbelief at the elegant and refined little princess before him, uttering such vulgar words. Yu Xiaogang's face was filled with disbelief; he even wondered if he had misheard.
However, Tang San remained unusually calm. It was perfectly normal for Ning Rongrong to utter such words now. He knew Ning Rongrong's true nature in her previous life; he had witnessed the temper of that little devil firsthand.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Ning Rongrong again, somewhat uncertainly, trying to confirm whether what he had just heard was true: "Ning Rongrong, what did you just say?"
Ning Rongrong stared directly at Yu Xiaogang without fear, her eyes filled with anger and disdain: "Yu Xiaogang, you son of a bitch... You're a piece of trash, a dog, and you dare to make Yuhao kneel before you? You... you bastard, Huo Yuhao is my man, the son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what right do you have to make Yuhao kneel before you!"
Ning Rongrong stood there and launched into a fierce verbal attack on Yu Xiaogang that lasted for more than ten minutes.
Everyone present was stunned by Ning Rongrong's astonishing aura. For a moment, everyone was speechless and could only stare blankly at the scene.
Ma Hongjun and Oscar stood to the side, huddled together, trembling with fear. They had never seen a girl so angry; her aura was terrifying, giving them an unprecedented sense of oppression.
Only when Ning Rongrong finally stopped did Yu Xiaogang snap out of his daze. His eyes were filled with disbelief and anger, and he stared at Ning Rongrong with murderous intent.
His right hand trembled as he pointed at Ning Rongrong, his voice hoarse with anger: "You, you are utterly disgraceful, Ning Rongrong! Do you know what you're saying? Now that I hold the Elder's Token, I am an elder of the Spirit Hall. Your insults are blatant disrespect to the Spirit Hall. Does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really want to start a war with the Spirit Hall?"
"Yu Xiaogang, that's enough."
Before he could finish speaking, Huo Yuhao suddenly interrupted him, then gently patted Ning Rongrong's head. Next, Huo Yuhao slowly walked towards Yu Xiaogang, until he stood right in front of him.
"What? Huo Yuhao, you've finally come to your senses? Are you going to kneel down to protect your little girlfriend?"
Meanwhile, Tang San had already turned around, excused himself to go to the restroom, and quietly left the scene. He knew that Huo Yuhao was already angry, and what was about to happen would be a one-sided beating.
Tang San didn't want to get involved in the conflict. After all, Yu Xiaogang was his master, and as a disciple, it would seem unreasonable for him not to help. However, he was currently no match for Huo Yuhao. Therefore, he decided to leave for the time being.
However, Dai Mubai and Yu Xiaogang clearly did not share Tang San's awareness and continued to look at Huo Yuhao with arrogant expressions.
"Xiao Gang, that's enough!"
Flanders rebuked again, but before he could finish speaking, his voice suddenly stopped.
Because Flander saw that Huo Yuhao had already raised his hand high and was about to slap Yu Xiaogang hard across the face.
Then, a crisp sound rang out.
"Smack!"
