Dugu Bo's Special Treatment

"Whether I made it up or not, you'll know in the future." Dugu Bo could not be bothered to argue with Yu Yuanzhen. The moment the Resurrection Coin appeared, Yu Yuanzhen was already a dead man in his mind.

After all, as long as someone wanted to exchange for a Resurrection Item, then members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who could please Mister Wu Tong would absolutely become the clearest targets.

If Dugu Bo could think of it, then naturally everyone present could think of it too.

Everyone could not help but sigh. One of the Upper Three Sects, the sect with the strongest beast martial soul, might decline like this, or even disappear entirely. It could only be said that one careless step had led to eternal regret.

However, although everyone pitied Yu Yuanzhen, if they were asked to make a move, they definitely would not hold back at all.

"No, no, no. You must be lying to me." Yu Yuanzhen refused to believe it. He shook his head, rambling incoherently as he deceived himself.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo and the others did not soften toward Yu Yuanzhen at all. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person, not to mention Yu Yuanzhen was not a pitiful person. On the contrary, he was the perpetrator.

"All right, everyone, why don't we invite Sect Master Yu out together, then discuss the Resurrection Coin in detail?"

Yu Yuanzhen still wanted to say something, but Dugu Bo had already grown impatient and made the suggestion to everyone.

"Since the host has spoken, then we have no reason to refuse. Uncle Sword, let's help invite Sect Master Yu out together." Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Ning Fengzhi naturally would not refuse. This was a perfect chance to show goodwill.

Although his relationship with Wu Tong was already good, if he could deepen their bond, why not?

As soon as Ning Fengzhi said this, the people from the other factions immediately chimed in.

Before long, under the joint assault of several Titled Douluo, Yu Yuanzhen was thrown straight out of the Dugu Family.

As for why they did not kill him outright, everyone was naturally no fool. Currying favor in front of Dugu Bo was naturally not as good as currying favor in front of Wu Tong.

Since the destruction of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had already become inevitable, whether Yu Yuanzhen died early or late made no difference. At most, he would live a few more days.

"All right. Since the eyesore is gone, I'll continue telling everyone about this Resurrection Item."

Dugu Bo watched Yu Yuanzhen leave in a daze, then turned and spoke to everyone.

"Over the past few days, while Mister Wu Tong was helping me detoxify, he obtained some opportunities, and his martial soul evolved."

"Because of that, after his Martial Soul Evolution, Mister Wu Tong's talent drew the attention of a god, and he became a God Trial Candidate. As long as he passes the Nine Trials bestowed by the god, he will be able to become a new god."

At the words "god," "God Trial Candidate," and "Nine Trials," a fleeting strange light flashed through Xue Qinghe's eyes, unnoticed by anyone.

"And according to Mister Wu Tong, because that god has been a god for too long and is too bored in the God Realm, he wants Wu Tong to become a god as soon as possible and take over his position. As compensation for accelerating the process, Mister Wu Tong can use certain resources to exchange with the god for assistance. Naturally, Resurrection Items are among them."

In such a formal setting, Dugu Bo rarely refrained from calling Wu Tong Little Monster, instead using an honorific title.

"I believe that after Xin'er's matter, everyone can already confirm that the news about Resurrection Items is true."

That was only natural.

So much time had passed, so of course everyone had already confirmed that the person before them was indeed the dead Dugu Xin.

"After consideration, Mister Wu Tong has decided to open up the exchange for Resurrection Items. Each faction may use a large amount of resources to exchange for Resurrection Items, but a ten percent premium is required."

As for the premium, the moment everyone heard that resources were needed for the exchange, they had already been prepared for it, so naturally they were not surprised.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and His Highness the Crown Prince are exceptions. They only need to purchase them at the original price."

Hearing this, everyone could not help casting looks of envy, jealousy, and resentment at Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe.

These two people—one had saved Wu Tong's life, while the other was Wu Tong's protector. It was not strange for them to receive a discount.

A ten percent difference seemed very small, but for the resources they needed to exchange for ten Resurrection Items, those two could exchange the same resources for eleven. This made everyone's eyes turn red with envy.

What made everyone most jealous was that they had actually been able to connect themselves to a future god with just a small bit of help. This was the true root of everyone's envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Under everyone's gazes, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe's expressions did not change on the surface, but inside, they were about to go wild with joy.

They had never expected that a small act of help/an investment could be exchanged for the goodwill of a future god who was certain to become a god.

"All right, that is roughly how matters stand. You can go prepare resources. After Mister Wu Tong returns, you may go find him to exchange for items.

You may return and report now. Sect Master Ning and His Highness the Crown Prince, please stay."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he began seeing people out. He really was not used to gathering with so many people.

Hearing that Dugu Bo had begun sending them off, everyone also started leaving one after another. After all, Dugu Bo was now someone favored at Mister Wu Tong's side, and his standing had risen greatly. His right to speak had clearly increased as well.

The only ones left were Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Xue Qinghe... as well as Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

"Chrysanthemum Guan, why haven't you left? What are you shamelessly staying in my house for?"

Toward Chrysanthemum Douluo, Dugu Bo was not nearly so courteous, and directly questioned him.

"Of course I stayed to catch up with Xin'er. Xin'er and I haven't seen each other in so long. Don't tell me you thought it was for you?"

Toward the intent to drive him away in Dugu Bo's tone, Chrysanthemum Douluo seemed not to hear it at all, fully intending to cling on and refuse to leave no matter what.

"Chrysanthemum Guan, you..."

Before Dugu Bo could finish, Ning Fengzhi once again stepped forward to smooth things over. "Senior Poison Douluo, calm down, calm down. Don't damage harmony over such a small matter. I see that Mister Dugu Xin seems to be an old acquaintance of Elder Chrysanthemum. Why not let them stay?"

It was not yet suitable to have a conflict with Spirit Hall. If they drove them out, Spirit Hall's people would definitely come back to ask again later. Rather than that, it was better to simply let them stay. Ning Fengzhi thought this.

"Hmph." Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Dugu Bo, who had already felt somewhat helpless because of the relationship between Dugu Xin and Chrysanthemum Douluo, could only compromise. He looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo and snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph. Are you a pig?" Seeing Dugu Bo snort, Chrysanthemum Douluo opened his mouth and mocked him.

"Chrysanthemum Guan, you ##&$#%#..."

It was clear he was cursing very foully.

"Poison Douluo, may I ask what instructions you have for keeping us here?"

Just as the two were about to start arguing again, Xue Qinghe spoke, stopping this quarrel.

Seeing Xue Qinghe speak to stop the argument, Ning Fengzhi gave him an approving look. As expected of my disciple.

Hearing Xue Qinghe's question, Dugu Bo could only stop the greeting that had nearly left his mouth.

As Wu Tong's investor, Xue Qinghe could be said to have an extremely good relationship with him.

For Xue Qinghe's mediation, Dugu Bo still had to give him face, so he spoke in a muffled voice.

"When I came back, Little Monster revealed his first assessment to me. It requires him to establish a faction. I think you can help, so I had you stay behind to discuss this matter."

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, everyone present had irrepressible delight on their faces. This was important news.

As long as they could help Wu Tong successfully build his faction and complete the assessment, perhaps they could obtain even more benefits.

Thinking of this, everyone nearly could not help going into ecstasy. Investing in/saving Wu Tong was definitely the best, most profitable deal they had ever made.

"Senior Poison Douluo, may I ask what kind of faction Mister Wu Tong intends to establish?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"How would I know what kind of faction Little Monster wants to build? He didn't tell me... did he?"

Dugu Bo's voice gradually lowered, as if he had thought of something, then he suddenly looked at the others.

"I remember now. Little Monster once told me that he wanted to establish a..."

It was not until evening that the few people who had remained at the Dugu Family left one after another.

"Teacher, this student will take his leave first." Xue Qinghe bowed and took his leave from Ning Fengzhi.

"Go on, Qinghe." Looking at Xue Qinghe, Ning Fengzhi smiled gently.

Afterward, he said to Sword Douluo standing beside him, "Uncle Sword, let's go. We'll return to the sect first. Tonight is going to be busy."

Sword Douluo glanced at Ning Fengzhi. "Don't be ungrateful while sitting in fortune. Plenty of people want to be busy and don't even get the chance. Still, I truly didn't expect it. The choice back then actually created such a great opportunity."

"Yes. That is why those who are kind to others will also be treated kindly by them."

Then a streak of sword light shot across the sky, flying swiftly in the direction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

All that remained were pairs of respectful eyes, gazing longingly at the sword mark left in the sky.

"That person was Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, right? As expected, his bearing is extraordinary."

"As expected of a Titled Douluo expert. Truly powerful."

"The one standing together with Sword Douluo must be the legendary Sect Master Ning, right? He really is as refined and easygoing as the rumors say."
