But Sword Douluo noticed.
He knew perfectly well that the Star Luo Royal Family had no princess of that age. Besides, Dai Weisi had run away from home. Bringing guards and servants was for safety and convenience; it was unlikely that he would bring along his own four- or five-year-old sister.
After the old man and the young boy returned to the sect's residence in Heaven Dou City, Sword Douluo summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence personnel and asked about the girl by Dai Weisi's side...
Only then did he learn that Ye Lingling was the granddaughter of Ye Jinghu, the White Robed Saint Hand, and the almost certain inheritor of the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo's eyes lit up at once. Since the Ye family's successor could become sworn siblings with Dai Weisi, then their Rongrong naturally could as well.
Inside Dai Weisi's residence, Li Fu reported to Dai Weisi on the results of his recent reconnaissance of Dugu Bo's lair.
Ever since the first theft of the immortal herbs several years ago, Dugu Bo had become far more vigilant.
The poison formation outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was clearly much stronger, more complex, and more vicious than when Li Fu had last visited. An ordinary Soul Douluo would face certain death upon entering it. Even an average Titled Douluo, once trapped within the formation, would have to pay a steep price to escape.
Clearly, Dugu Bo had paid a heavy price for this poison formation protecting his home.
The good news was that, perhaps because Dugu Bo feared that transplanting them would cause them to wither, the several immortal herbs Dai Weisi had specifically described were still growing safely in their original places.
That was understandable, though.
Anyone who discovered that others could come and go from his lair at will, taking several treasures whose uses he had not even figured out, while leaving him completely unable to detect their traces, would desperately improve his home's defenses at any cost.
It was humanity's instinct for self-preservation. Especially for someone like Dugu Bo, who had enemies everywhere—after such an incident, his spine must have gone cold, and he probably could not even sleep at night.
However, all of it was completely useless.
To a Titled Douluo like Li Fu, who possessed a domain, that poison formation was a joke.
Once his domain was activated, no poison gas could invade.
To avoid alerting Dugu Bo again and forcing him to destroy the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Li Fu did not take so much as a blade of grass from it this time. After confirming the situation, he quietly departed.
Next came the time for Dai Weisi to negotiate with this Poison Douluo.
