Grandpa Dugu, Let's Make a Bet!

Facing Dugu Bo's offer.

Ye Yu was actually somewhat tempted.

Because through this, he seemed fully able to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and obtain several immortal herbs.

But after taking a deep breath, Ye Yu still suppressed the thought.

Because it was too great a loss!

As a commoner-born orphan with no backing.

What Ye Yu lacked most was a backing.

And if, after winning over Dugu Yan, he could also gain Dugu Bo's approval.

Then he could become the Jade Phosphorous Family's son-in-law and gain the protection of Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Making up for the link he lacked most!

And Dugu Bo stood with Prince Xue Xing and the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng.

Meanwhile, he was currently one of Qian Renxue's people, while she was disguised as Xue Qinghe.

With such a background.

No matter how things changed in the future.

He could assess the situation and make his choice.

Whether to join Spirit Hall or the anti-Spirit Hall faction.

And most importantly: people were not made of grass and wood. How could they be without feelings?

Although he had initially approached Dugu Yan with ulterior motives.

Over more than half a year together, Ye Yu had successfully won Dugu Yan over, making her fall deeply in love with him.

Though his own feelings had not reached that extent.

His feelings for Dugu Yan were still very deep.

If he chose to make a deal with Dugu Bo, took the goods, and left.

Even if he could make up for it afterward.

Dugu Yan would definitely be devastated at the time.

He did not want to see that happen.

And although Dugu Bo was now strongly opposed to him being with Dugu Yan.

Ye Yu felt.

That after he presented a way to resolve the Jade Phosphorous Poison.

Dugu Bo's impression of him might not necessarily be so bad.

This Old Poison Master opposed him being with Dugu Yan mainly because his Martial Soul and talent were currently too poor.

But that could be changed!

In the future, if he improved in those areas.

He might yet gain approval.

And if he agreed to the deal now.

Wouldn't that mean he was not sincere toward Dugu Yan?

Once that crafty Old Poison Master tested him and got that result.

Even if he had originally held some goodwill toward him, it might instantly turn into disgust!

In any case, Ye Yu quickly made his decision.

No matter how much Dugu Bo offered, he would not leave Dugu Yan!

"Senior Dugu, my feelings for Yanyan are genuine!"

"Unless you kill me, no matter how much money or how many things you offer me."

"I will not leave Yanyan!"

"Since Yanyan has not given up on me, I will not let her down!"

Ye Yu stood up and faced Dugu Bo's gloomy gaze, speaking with utter resolve.

"Boy! Have you thought this through?"

Seeing that Ye Yu would rather die than give up Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo was satisfied inwardly.

But his expression became incomparably dark as he stood up and released a powerful Soul Power pressure that bore down on Ye Yu.

For a moment, Ye Yu felt as though he were carrying a mountain on his back. From his bones to his muscles, his entire body trembled nonstop, letting out groans under the unbearable burden.

Ye Yu's face flushed red. He clenched his fists, pain filling his expression.

Yet Dugu Bo's actions only made him more certain.

Dugu Bo did not dare kill him!

Therefore, Ye Yu gritted his teeth. Even with his face crimson and sweat pouring down like rain, he did not yield in the slightest.

Besides, with the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone, he could not die!

"Senior Dugu... I will not give up Yanyan!"

"Even if I die!!"

Faced with Ye Yu's "stubbornness," Dugu Bo's expression darkened further, and the Soul Power pressure he released increased considerably once more.

But when he sensed that Ye Yu could no longer hold on.

Because of Dugu Yan's earlier resolute vow, Dugu Bo could only helplessly withdraw the Soul Power pressure.

Though this boy was indeed rather ordinary in terms of Martial Soul and cultivation talent.

In talent, ability, and courage alike.

He was truly exceptional.

And he would rather die than give up. His feelings for Yanyan were genuine as well.

On top of that, Ye Yu had found a way to help the Jade Phosphorous Family resolve the Jade Phosphorous Poison.

This made Dugu Bo feel a trace of appreciation for his talent.

"Boy! I'll give you one more chance!"

"What would it take for you to leave Yanyan?"

After sitting back down with a dark expression, Dugu Bo asked coldly, as though issuing an ultimatum.

"Senior Dugu."

With the oppressive Soul Power pressure suddenly gone, Ye Yu felt as though he had collapsed. Drenched in sweat and gasping for breath, he nearly fell to his knees.

After struggling to stand, he cupped his fists and said.

"This junior... this junior still says the same thing. No matter what, I will not leave Yanyan."

"I know Senior Dugu's concerns and what you care about."

"So we can make a bet!"

"What bet?"

Dugu Bo asked with a frown.

"This junior knows that my Martial Soul and Soul Master talent are currently too poor."

"But I am confident that in the future, I can evolve my Martial Soul and become strong."

"Before that, Yanyan and I will not cross the line."

"And we will not publicly announce our romantic relationship."

"If, within three years, I can evolve my Martial Soul again, meet Senior Dugu's requirements, and gain your approval."

"Then I hope you will agree to let Yanyan and me be together."

"If I cannot achieve it within three years, I will leave Yanyan of my own accord!"

Having said this, Ye Yu bowed deeply to Dugu Bo.

"Fine!"

Since the bet was indeed fair, Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes. After pondering for a moment, he chose to agree.

Hearing Dugu Bo agree, a smile appeared on Ye Yu's exhausted but handsome face.

"However, Senior Dugu, Yanyan and I often go in and out together now."

"Although Miss Lingling accompanies us, people will still inevitably gossip."

"Please accept me as your disciple, Senior Dugu. That way, misunderstandings will be less likely!"

"Also, evolving my Martial Soul requires a profound knowledge of pharmacology."

"I have heard that Senior Dugu is a master of Pharmacology and Toxicology in Heaven Dou Imperial City. Please grant my request!"

After saying that, Ye Yu once again bowed deeply to Dugu Bo with great sincerity and earnestness.

Well, damn!

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes, both angered and amused.

This brat was truly sly!

He had just rejected this old man's offer, saying that no matter what, he had to be with Yanyan.

Now, after taking a step back and proposing that bet.

He had made this request as well.

Though it did make some sense.

But didn't this count as a deal too?

Still, after thinking it over, Dugu Bo chose to agree.

"Fine! For Yanyan's sake, this old man will provisionally accept you as a registered disciple!"

Under Dugu Bo's test, Ye Yu had indeed demonstrated solid character.

And apart from his Martial Soul and cultivation talent, his ability, talent, and courage were all outstanding.

As long as he made up for that shortcoming.

He truly would be a good match for his granddaughter!

If Ye Yu was truly confident that he could evolve his Martial Soul again.

Dugu Bo did not mind giving him a hand!

And this time.

It was impossible to know how much of Ye Yu's performance had been genuine and how much false.

It was too difficult to see through a person after merely one meeting!

If he accepted this boy as his disciple.

He could slowly observe what kind of person this boy truly was in the future.

It would not be a loss either way!

Dugu Bo thought to himself.

"Ye Yu pays respects to Master!"

After Dugu Bo agreed to take him as a disciple.

Excitement and delight appeared on Ye Yu's face. He immediately cupped his fists, bowed deeply, and shouted.
