Coercing Dugu Bo

"What? You're leaving tomorrow?" Ye Tang'er and her husband were quite surprised. "That's too sudden."

"Madam Ye, Brother Ye, I really have some urgent matters to attend to back home. It was an emergency, and I didn't get the news in advance," Chen Chu explained again, cupping his fists.

Seeing his urgency, Ye Chunfeng no longer insisted he stay. "Since Brother Chen has important matters that require immediate attention, I won't keep you. I'll go arrange a carriage right away."

After Ye Chunfeng left, Ye Tang'er looked at Ye Lingling thoughtfully. "Teacher Chen, since school starts in a little over ten days, why don't you take Lingling with you?"

"Lingling, are you willing?"

Ye Lingling looked at her teacher, then at her mother, and nodded. "Lingling is willing."

Chen Chu naturally wouldn't refuse. He was taking a carriage back anyway, and having a beautiful young lady accompany him, he could tease her a bit and improve his mood.

"Of course. Then quickly go pack your luggage. When your father brings the carriage, we'll depart immediately."

Heaven Dou City, the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.

Xue Qinghe was rubbing his temples, feeling quite troubled after hearing the instructions brought by the Pufferfish from the Martial Soul Hall.

"By the way, what has that Chen Chu been busy with these past two months? Why hasn't he come to pay his respects for so long?"

Xue Qinghe rubbed his temples, suddenly thinking of that genius. After all, his cultivation had caught up to his own. He was a rare genius, rarely seen in a thousand years, and definitely worth winning over and paying attention to.

The Snake Lance stepped forward. "Your Highness, Chen Chu went to Autumn Leaf City with a female classmate from his class a month ago for a month-long home visit, and he studied medicinal theory there."

"Studied medicinal theory?" Xue Qinghe murmured. "He's quite leisurely. At his age, not focusing on cultivation but wasting such talent."

Hearing this, the Snake Lance looked at his Highness with surprise, thinking to himself, And you? With your innate twenty-level God-tier Martial Soul, instead of cultivating properly and inheriting a divine position, you're dabbling in this plan to usurp the throne? Once you become a god, will there even be a need to fight? Won't they obediently hand over their ancestral foundation just to survive?

He thought this, but he would never say it. "What Your Highness says is very true, but his talent is rare. Even if he's distracted by other things, it's of no consequence."

"Fine, our focus isn't on him right now. Tonight, we'll begin the medication."

A forest path.

Inside the carriage, Ye Lingling looked curiously at the masked uncle who suddenly appeared outside. Is he a family member of Teacher? He looks so fierce and ugly, nothing like Teacher.

"Lingling, we'll reach Heaven Dou City soon. I won't accompany you back to the academy. Can you go back by yourself?"

Chen Chu lifted the curtain, looking at the increasing number of merchant caravans outside, and asked Ye Lingling beside him.

"Yes, I can go back by myself. Teacher, you go ahead and be busy," Ye Lingling nodded obediently.

Chen Chu nodded slightly, his gaze sharp as he looked at Ao Tian sitting outside the carriage.

Heaven Dou City.

At Dugu Bo's mansion, Chen Chu informed the steward that he was visiting Dugu Yan in his capacity as her teacher.

Coincidentally, Dugu Yan was not at home. "Teacher Chen, my young lady is not at the mansion. My master requests to see you."

"That would be my pleasure. I have long admired Your Excellency Poison Douluo. It is my good fortune to meet you today."

Chen Chu smiled and walked into the house with the steward, turning back to signal Ao Tian to follow.

"Teacher Chen, my master did not permit anyone other than you to visit. Please understand."

Ao Tian had only taken a few steps when the steward leading the way stopped and looked back at Chen Chu.

"Steward, you may not know, but this is a practical skills teacher from the academy. He understands the students no less than I do. He has also obtained the approval of the academy's three main committees to come here. I hope you understand."

Without waiting for the steward's reply, he walked into the courtyard. Just now, Ao Tian had sensed Dugu Bo's aura, and he didn't want to waste any more time.

"Hey, how dare you trespass!" The steward was furious when he saw Chen Chu acting this way. Just as he was about to chase after him to stop him, Ao Tian's gaze froze him in place, and he fainted.

In the study, Dugu Bo keenly detected the powerful soul power fluctuation and his eyes narrowed. Just as he was about to go out to see what was happening, the door was pushed open, and he saw two men he had never seen before.

"What is the meaning of this? I, Dugu Bo, don't seem to have met either of you. Why are you trespassing in my mansion? If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Dugu Bo had just probed the two men. The young man's soul power fluctuation was at the Soul Emperor or Soul Sage level. The masked man was at most a Soul Douluo. These two dared to break into his mansion. Today, Dugu Bo would let the world know that Titled Douluo cannot be insulted!

"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, I am a teacher from Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a mentor in Heavenly Micro Class One. I am here today mainly to discuss something with you and hope you can help me with one matter."

Chen Chu was not too surprised by Dugu Bo's attitude. Ao Tian's cultivation was not easily seen through. He had the Asura Bead on him, which allowed him to see through Ao Tian's true strength. As for Dugu Bo, he was just a unit of strength.

"You're Yan Yan's teacher?" Dugu Bo was initially a little surprised. Then, seeing Chen Chu casually sit opposite him, he instantly became furious. "Do you think you can be so presumptuous just because you're Yan Yan's teacher? You're too arrogant!"

With that, Dugu Bo's powerful aura as a Titled Douluo erupted, pressing down on Chen Chu and Ao Tian.

Chen Chu, however, was unfazed. He slowly poured himself a cup of hot tea. Behind him, Ao Tian felt insulted by the pressure of a Titled Douluo. "Hmph, what are you? Still making a move in front of this ancestor!"

Ao Tian coldly snorted, and Dugu Bo's soul power pressure instantly vanished. Even he himself was forced back a few steps by the aura mixed in with the cold snort.

He then looked at the masked man, who had previously seemed ordinary to him, with disbelief, pointing at him and muttering, "You, Your Excellency, what do you mean? I don't seem to have any enmity with you."

Ao Tian did not answer him, still standing quietly.

Dugu Bo, looking at the standing masked man and the seated Chen Chu, also realized the problem.

His gaze turned to Chen Chu with some surprise. "Young Friend Chen, is there something you need my help with? If I can help, just say the word."

After that move, Dugu Bo had already recognized the gap between them. He had fought with that Stinky Chrysanthemum a few days ago and was still injured. He was definitely no match for the person in front of him. The key was that his granddaughter was still in Heaven Dou City, so he had to bow his head and yield, making compromises.

"Senior Poison Douluo, can you sit down and have a good chat now?" Chen Chu said with a sneer, teasing him. As expected, to deal with someone like Dugu Bo, one had to use a sufficiently strong fist to subdue him!
