Dugu Yan froze when a sudden voice rang out in the antique shop.
Ning Weiyang instinctively turned around.
Oh.
Dugu Bo.
"Grandpa?"
Dugu Yan's first reaction upon seeing Dugu Bo was surprise.
"Why are you here?"
She had thought Dugu Bo should be near Sunset Forest at this time.
She had only written to her grandfather a few days ago.
"Didn't I receive your letter? Grandpa came specially to see you!"
Dugu Bo stepped forward and scooped Dugu Yan up, weighing his granddaughter in his arms.
After doing so, he frowned slightly. "Yanyan, have you had a poor appetite lately? Why do you seem lighter than before?"
Dugu Bo paid no attention at all to Ning Weiyang standing beside Dugu Yan, which made Dugu Yan feel a little awkward.
She hurriedly patted Dugu Bo's shoulder, signaling for him to put her down. "No, Grandpa, you must be remembering wrong. I've been eating very well lately!"
Taking the hint, Dugu Bo put her down. He rubbed his chin with one hand and pondered, "Really? I remember correctly, though."
"You must be remembering wrong."
Dugu Yan replied.
Then she changed the subject—
"Right, Grandpa, let me introduce you. This is Weiyang, my roommate."
"Weiyang, this is my grandfather, Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo!"
Dugu Yan took Dugu Bo's hand in one hand and Ning Weiyang's in the other, pulling them closer together as she introduced them.
Ning Weiyang looked up at Dugu Bo and found that he was looking at her as well.
Dugu Bo sized Ning Weiyang up and spoke first. "Yanyan, when did you get such a tiny roommate?"
Ning Weiyang looked to be only six years old, yet for some reason, Dugu Bo seemed to sense an unusual aura from her.
He looked at Ning Weiyang curiously, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Hello, Grandpa."
After glancing at Dugu Bo, Ning Weiyang lowered her gaze.
She greeted him in a soft, sweet voice, her head bowed low, making her seem somewhat timid.
Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo, then at Ning Weiyang, and could not help stepping forward to pull Ning Weiyang behind her. "Grandpa, don't stare at her like that. Weiyang is very timid. You'll scare her."
Dugu Yan's slight frown made Dugu Bo's eyes light up.
Oh?
Why was his little granddaughter taking someone else's side? Between her grandfather and this little girl, she had chosen the little girl?
Dugu Bo smiled without getting angry, but he became even more curious about Ning Weiyang.
For Dugu Yan to protect her like this, they seemed to be very close.
Dugu Bo shifted his gaze to Dugu Yan's face.
Only then did Dugu Yan say, "Weiyang is very young. She's only six."
Dugu Bo nodded. "I can tell."
Then, as if recalling something, he said, "Oh, Yanyan, you said in your letter that you wanted me to bring some poison. It's for this little girl to protect herself with, right?"
Dugu Yan nodded repeatedly. "I'm worried Weiyang will be bullied when she goes to Spirit Hall Academy, so I need to prepare more things for her to defend herself with!"
"Going to Spirit Hall Academy?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow.
Dugu Yan explained, "It's about the exchange student program."
Dugu Bo gave an "Oh," understanding.
"So, Grandpa, what did you bring?"
Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo expectantly.
Dugu Bo smiled.
He opened the Soul Tool on him, and a small green snake appeared in his hand.
"Here, little girl. This is a Nine-Section Jade Serpent. I've raised it for quite some time. If anyone bullies you, let the snake bite them. Don't be afraid of biting them to death. If they're bullying you, don't worry about such things!"
