"Lin Feng, who exactly is this Liu Erlong?"
Dugu Yan couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked eagerly.
"She said she was going to find Yu Xiaogang. Does she know that Grandmaster?"
"Little sister, back in the day, Yu Xiaogang, Flender, and I were known as the 'Golden Triangle'."
Liu Erlong chuckled softly, her voice clear as she spoke.
"What? The Golden Triangle!"
Dugu Yan's eyes widened in surprise, her mouth slightly agape, her face filled with disbelief.
She had long heard of the Golden Triangle's reputation; in the Spirit Master's world, they were legendary figures.
She never expected to be traveling with one of them now.
"Is it the Golden Triangle that can also use the Three-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill, just like us?"
Ye Lingling couldn't help but exclaim.
Liu Erlong's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this: "You can also perform Three-in-One Spirit Fusion?"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded, his smile showing confidence and humility, confirming the fact.
"This is too much of a coincidence!"
Liu Erlong sighed with emotion, her eyes full of amazement.
She never imagined that during this journey, she would encounter young people who also possessed the Three-in-One Spirit Fusion Skill.
The threads of fate seemed to subtly intertwine at this moment.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately became interested; she excitedly rubbed her hands together, eager to try, her face beaming with impatience.
"I really want to compete with the Golden Triangle and see whose Three-in-One Fusion Skill is stronger!"
Ye Lingling quickly pulled her back, looking helpless, and gently advised: "Yan'er, our levels are too far below Senior Liu's. We definitely can't compare now."
"We still need more experience and growth before we can truly compete with the seniors."
Dugu Yan pouted, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face, but she quickly found a new piece of gossip.
"Senior Liu, do you like Yu Xiaogang?"
She quickly leaned close to Liu Erlong, asking with a gossipy expression.
Liu Erlong's face instantly turned red, the blush rapidly spreading to her earlobes.
She lowered her head, her hands unconsciously tugging at the corner of her clothes, looking shy.
Seeing this, Dugu Yan had her answer, but she still didn't understand: "Then why aren't you two together?"
"If you like each other, you should bravely be together."
Liu Erlong hesitated, a trace of pain flashing across her face.
She opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't answer.
Recalling that unbearable past was like a sharp blade, piercing her heart.
"I think I know why."
Lin Feng watched this scene, pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke.
"Oh? You know?"
Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Feng curiously.
Liu Erlong also looked up in surprise.
In her memory, few people knew her story.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and slowly said: "Because Yu Xiaogang is Liu Erlong's cousin; they share the same grandfather."
"What?!"
Dugu Yan was so surprised she almost jumped up, her eyes wide, her face full of disbelief.
"It's actually like this!"
"Although I'm not entirely against dating someone with a blood relation, sharing the same grandfather—that relationship is too close, isn't it?"
Liu Erlong's face instantly became awkward and crestfallen; she lowered her head, pondering to herself.
Sure enough, others can't accept our feelings?
Dugu Yan noticed Liu Erlong's change in mood and quickly said: "Senior Liu, I didn't mean anything by it! I think you two are great. Keep it up!"
"Thank you, child."
Liu Erlong looked at Dugu Yan, forcing a slight smile, and said softly.
"I don't think it's a big deal."
Lin Feng suddenly spoke, his tone firm, his eyes revealing a righteous glow.
"After all, you didn't know you were relatives before, so it's not your fault."
"How can it be that the person who cheated and let his illegitimate daughter wander outside is still high and mighty, while those who pursue love are condemned by thousands? There's no such logic!"
As Lin Feng said this, the figure of Yu Luomian appeared in his mind.
Although he himself might have other women in the future.
He would never hide it from Dugu Yan, and he would never abandon his own children.
Liu Erlong was deeply moved by Lin Feng's words.
She slowly raised her head, tears shimmering in her eyes.
In the hazy tears, there was both emotion and the relief of being understood.
She felt that Lin Feng had truly spoken to her heart.
For so many years, she had carried too much pressure and misunderstanding, and now finally, someone could understand her pain.
"Lin Feng is right, Senior Liu, there's nothing wrong with love. You should bravely pursue your own happiness."
Dugu Yan nodded, agreeing with Lin Feng's words.
"Yes, Senior Liu, don't mind what others think. As long as you two love each other, that's all that matters."
Following this, Ye Lingling also said softly:
The carriage sped along the road, the scenery outside the window flashing by like slides.
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was slightly heavy.
"Thank you all!"
Liu Erlong looked at them with gratitude, her trembling lips slightly parting.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng gently shook his head.
"Senior Liu, although I completely understand your thoughts, I'm afraid others don't see it that way."
He spoke slowly, his expression solemn, his gaze revealing an insight into worldly affairs.
"Exactly!"
Dugu Yan immediately jumped in to agree.
Her face showed some dissatisfaction, and her tone was full of doubt towards Yu Xiaogang, "Yu Xiaogang, such a big man, how can he be so timid and less brave than Senior Liu? To think he's even called Grandmaster!"
"No, Xiaogang is just worried about me. He must be thinking of me."
"He's always been meticulous and thoughtful in his considerations; he must have his own reasons."
Liu Erlong's face changed slightly, and she subconsciously clutched the corner of her clothes, quickly explaining.
Lin Feng frowned slightly and sharply pressed: "Worried about what? Worried about public opinion?"
"When you actively tried to keep him back then, the firmness and resolve in your eyes."
"Couldn't he see that you didn't care about those external rumors at all?"
"Exactly, exactly!"
Dugu Yan excitedly echoed again, crossing her arms over her chest, her face full of indignation.
"He's not stupid, does he really not see that without him, you would be even more pained?"
Lin Feng continued, "He keeps saying it's for your own good, but he never cared about your heartbreak for so many years."
"He just couldn't bear the heavy pressure of public opinion and didn't want to ruin his reputation in the eyes of outsiders."
"Ultimately, it was his own cowardice that won out."
"That's right!"
At this moment, Ye Lingling suddenly nodded forcefully, turning to look at Liu Erlong, her eyes full of injustice.
"Senior Liu, you can't be so foolish anymore; you need to think more for yourself!"
Liu Erlong's face instantly turned pale, her lips trembling slightly, as if she wanted to retort.
But her throat felt choked, and for a moment, she didn't know where to begin.
"Xiaogang is just a bit slow to warm up, his views are more traditional, he…"
"Alas…"
A silent sigh.
