Just kidding!
Did he take me for an idiot? Could he not tell that he actually wanted to throw a punch at me too?
"Fuck!"
Dugu Bo completely lost it. "Can't you be a little tougher, like Chrysanthemum Pass? At least give me a chance to show off. I only threw one punch, and you already surrendered. Have you people from Spirit Hall thrown away all your dignity?"
Gui Mei sat cross-legged, meditating with his eyes closed, utterly unmoved.
Still talking about dignity!
Heh heh!
How much was that thing worth?
Whoever wanted it could have it. He didn't want it anyway.
After all, if he did want it, this bastard would definitely pounce on him and pound him with a few punches.
Was there something wrong with his head? Why would he want that thing?
Chrysanthemum Pass had taken one punch from him and ended up embedded over there.
With his scrawny body, he could not follow in Chrysanthemum Pass's footsteps.
Seeing that Gui Mei would not attack no matter what, Dugu Bo was out of options too.
"Fine, alright. Old Gui, you're ruthless enough!"
"You think I can't deal with you just because you won't fight?"
Dugu Bo suddenly let out a wicked chuckle.
Then he walked over to Gu Changge. "Chang Ge, what do you think of these two old bastards?"
Hearing that, Gu Changge gave Dugu Bo a half-smiling look. "What are you trying to say, sir?"
"How about we capture these two and bring them over to our side as laborers?"
Dugu Bo grinned wickedly. "After all, there are still plenty of places over there that are short on manpower!"
From the moment he opened his mouth,
Gu Changge had actually known what the old man was planning.
Still, capturing them and making them laborers did seem like a pretty good choice.
Title Douluo-level combat power.
Give them Steve Physique.
In the current vanilla MC World,
they could basically walk sideways.
As long as they did not seek death themselves,
it would be hard for them to die even if they wanted to.
If they brought them over, they really could be used as premium laborers.
"Sure!"
After pondering for a moment, Gu Changge gave a definite answer.
Then the smile on Dugu Bo's face began to turn twisted.
"Come on, Old Gui. Let's discuss something!"
As he spoke, Dugu Bo grabbed Gui Mei and dragged him to the side.
"Fuck!"
When Gui Mei saw Dugu Bo's disturbingly twisted grin, he immediately felt something was wrong.
"Don't you fucking come over here!!!"
Unfortunately, a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo was not someone he could refuse.
Then Gui Mei was forcibly dragged into the MC World to discuss matters.
Oh, and when he was dragged in, Chrysanthemum Pass, who had nearly been beaten into meeting his great-grandmother, did not manage to escape either.
"Those two are the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo you mentioned, Chang Ge? The ones who always loved bullying Grandpa?"
The appearance of Ju and Gui would have left no one calm in the past.
But now, to Gu Changge and the others, it was merely a minor interruption.
Faced with Dugu Yan's curious questioning,
Gu Changge stroked his chin, considering how to explain it.
As for the relationship between Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Pass,
when he had read the novels before, he had only known that they were enemies.
But after truly arriving on the Douluo Continent,
Gu Changge had gradually come to understand
that their relationship was not simply one of hostility.
Otherwise, with Ju and Gui being inseparable, along with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, [Two Elements Still Domain],
how could Dugu Bo possibly have survived against them?
"How should I put it?"
After a moment, Gu Changge organized his thoughts. "It does not really count as simple bullying."
"Compared to that, I think their relationship is more like that of troublesome friends who secretly appreciate each other, yet appear to be utterly incompatible on the surface!"
Gu Changge carefully chose his words before finally giving what he believed was the accurate answer.
"Troublesome friends?"
Dugu Yan was curious. "Is there something between Grandpa and those two that I don't know about?"
"Of course there is! And there's a lot of it!"
Before Gu Changge could speak, Ye Guanlan smiled and took over the conversation.
Then Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Gu Changge himself all looked toward Ye Guanlan with curiosity.
During his eighteen years since transmigrating to the Douluo Continent,
although Gu Changge had learned a rough outline of the relationship between Dugu Bo and Ju and Gui through his own methods,
he did not actually know the specific details very clearly.
So when he heard Comrade Old Ye say that, his interest was immediately piqued.
After all, gossip was human instinct.
How could he possibly not be curious?
Ye Guanlan saw Gu Changge and the others looking at him with curious expressions.
Then, wearing a mysterious look, he said, "You definitely don't know this: when Old Man first began to Venture the Continent, Chrysanthemum Pass was the one who was inseparable from him. Gui Mei was actually just Old Man's replacement!"
"???"
Gu Changge was completely dumbfounded.
Three question marks practically appeared over his head.
Comrade Old Ye, were you serious?
Old Man and Chrysanthemum Pass were the original duo.
Then what about Gui Mei?
Was he some third party who had inserted himself into their relationship?
Was the reason Old Man and Chrysanthemum Pass had spent their entire lives in love and hate because Gui Mei had stolen him away???
In Gu Changge's mind,
a hundred-episode, absurdly melodramatic cuckolding drama instantly played out.
Although Dugu Yan and Ye Lengling did not have Gu Changge's outrageous imagination,
when they heard that,
their faces also revealed stunned expressions.
"How is that possible?"
Dugu Yan said in disbelief, "Uncle Ye, you're joking with us, right? How could Grandpa possibly have been teammates with that Chrysanthemum Douluo? I've never heard him mention it!"
"Of course you couldn't have heard about it!"
Ye Guanlan said with a smile, "Because when you were still in your mother's womb, Old Man had already fallen out with Chrysanthemum Pass, and then they went their separate ways!"
At that point, Ye Guanlan sighed. "Actually, this matter has something to do with you too, Yanzi!"
"It has something to do with me too?"
Dugu Yan became even more curious.
"Of course it does!"
Ye Guanlan was clearly enjoying his storytelling.
Unfortunately, his mysterious, suspenseful manner
was immediately swatted aside by Mu Qingyu.
"If you have something to say, then say it. Why are you rambling on and making things up?"
Mu Qingyu said irritably, "Yanzi, don't listen to his nonsense. Old Man falling out with Chrysanthemum Douluo had nothing to do with you."
As she spoke, Mu Qingyu shot Ye Guanlan a glare.
Ye Guanlan got angry at once, though he was only angry for a moment.
After getting angry, he quietly said, "Wasn't I just trying to lighten the mood?"
Mu Qingyu glanced at him. "Lightening the mood means standing there and talking nonsense?"
Ye Guanlan shrank his neck and did not dare keep babbling.
At this moment, Dugu Yan's curiosity had been completely stirred up. "Aunt Mu, what exactly happened? Was Grandpa really teammates with Chrysanthemum Douluo before?"
"Yes!"
Mu Qingyu nodded. "When Old Man first began to Venture the Continent, he met Chrysanthemum Douluo."
"You know that your family's Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul is innately flawed. Although it is a poison-attribute Martial Soul, its wielder is also harmed by the backlash of Azure Python Poison!"
