Dugu Bo Bows His Head, Gu Changge Fights Without Honor

"However, the poison in your body comes from your martial soul merging with your Soul Power. Using milk to detoxify it can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Given enough time, the toxins will still accumulate again!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately wanted to ask whether there was a way to cure the root of the problem.

But before he could speak, Gu Changge's voice rang out again.

"But that's no problem. The milk I have doesn't have any so-called resistance issue. Let alone three cups a day—even if you drink it as your meals, it won't matter. No matter how quickly your toxins accumulate, they can't accumulate faster than they're neutralized!"

"And I have a way to cure the root cause as well, and I'm not lacking any of the things needed. If you're truly worried, then after we visit Lingling's family and explain everything clearly to everyone, I'll deal with the poison issue for both you and Yanzi!"

Hearing Gu Changge speak so casually, Dugu Bo could no longer remain seated. "Then let's go, right now. This old man admits defeat. From now on, I won't interfere in matters between you, Yanzi, and that Ye girl."

To Dugu Bo, the Azure Python Poison was like a thorn lodged in his heart.

After all, both his son and daughter-in-law had died because of it.

Now that Gu Changge had said he could cure it at the root, how could Dugu Bo not be anxious?

Then, urged on by Dugu Bo, Gu Changge reopened the Void Gate and returned to the courtyard from before.

The moment Dugu Yan saw them, she hurried over. "How did it go?"

Gu Changge gave her a slight nod.

Dugu Yan immediately threw her arms around Dugu Bo in delight. "Thank you, Grandpa! I knew you wouldn't break Changge and me apart!"

"This is all Grandpa can do for you. As for how you live your lives and walk your path from now on, that will depend on the two of you!"

Dugu Bo lovingly rubbed her head. "Since the matter on our side has been resolved, let's go to the Ye Family together and settle everything there as well!"

"Huh?"

Dugu Yan froze. "Grandpa, you're coming too?"

Now that her grandfather had relented, going to the Ye Family afterward was only natural.

But Dugu Bo going with them was beyond Dugu Yan's expectations.

"I have to go."

Dugu Bo said with a smile, "After all, things have reached this point entirely because of Grandpa. Besides, our two families have always been close friends. And since we'll be one family in the future, there are some things that must be explained in person, so neither side will be left with any resentment or discomfort later on!"

A few hours earlier, at the Ye Family residence.

As the magnificent sunset blazed outside the window, Ye Lingling ate dinner at the table with her parents.

Yet the atmosphere at the table was rather strange. No one spoke.

Ye Lingling kept her head lowered as she ate, remaining silent.

Her father, Ye Guanlan, and her mother, Mu Qingyu, kept exchanging glances, silently communicating with each other.

"Stop exchanging looks!"

Ye Lingling suddenly raised her head while eating. "I'm fine. You don't need to worry about me. I haven't been in a bad mood these past few days because you kept me from seeing Changge."

"If it isn't because of that, then what is it?"

Ye Guanlan looked puzzled. "Don't tell me you've just been feeling down for no reason?"

"Of course not!"

Ye Lingling's little face tightened as she took three books out of her Storage Soul Tool. "It's all these three novels' fault!"

"Novels?"

Mu Qingyu was immediately intrigued.

Ye Lingling said with a stern little face, "Originally, Changge had prepared these three books for you, Mom. He said that after reading them, you would definitely be moved to tears. I was worried there might be something wrong with the books, so I read them first for you..."

"So there really is something wrong with them?"

Mu Qingyu immediately clenched her fists until they cracked.

That brat had not only tricked my daughter, but he also wanted to use questionable books to trick me.

"No, there's nothing wrong with the books!"

Seeing this, Ye Lingling hurriedly explained, "Not only is there nothing wrong with them, but these three novels are incredibly good—countless times better than anything sold on the market or anything you've read before. It's just that the content is... rather touching and likely to make people cry."

Ye Lingling carefully chose her words before giving her assessment.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing that, Mu Qingyu immediately laughed. "I thought it was something serious. They're just a little touching. You silly girl, it's only a bit emotional, yet you let it make you feel down for three days straight. Come on, let Mom have a look. I want to see what kind of story could leave my precious daughter feeling gloomy for three whole days!"

As she spoke, she took the three books Ye Lingling had brought out into her hands.

After examining them one by one, the titles of the three books appeared.

They were [Zhu Xian], [Douluo: Legend of the White Snake], and [Dragon Raja].

After taking the three books, Ye Lingling's mother eagerly opened [Zhu Xian].

Ye Lingling opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But in the end, she chose silence.

There was no stopping her!

Absolutely no stopping her!

With her mother's obsession with novels, once she saw a novel with such excellent writing and content, there would be no talking her out of it.

Sigh!

That rotten Gu Changge!

She hoped he had better not show up again these next few days.

Otherwise, her mother might really beat the shit out of him.

Time flowed by in silence.

The sky grew ever dimmer.

The brilliantly burning sunset clouds gradually sank into the sea of night.

It was then that Dugu Bo, Gu Changge, and Dugu Yan arrived.

Bang bang bang!

Gu Changge raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Coming!"

Ye Lingling's voice came from inside.

Then the door was opened from within.

Just as Gu Changge thought Ye Lingling would be happy to see them, he never expected Ye Lingling's face to immediately reveal panic the moment she opened the door and saw them.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"

she asked urgently in a lowered voice, while shifting her body to block the doorway.

Gu Changge was a little dumbfounded. Why did this feel like he had come to catch someone secretly cheating at home?

But with Ye Lingling's personality, she definitely could not do such a thing.

So he smiled and said, "I came with Uncle and Auntie to make things between us clear!"

Ye Lingling glanced at Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo, who had come with him.

She first smiled and nodded at Dugu Yan, then gave Dugu Bo a slight bow.

After that, she said to Gu Changge, "Don't tell me you're planning to choose Yanyan and abandon me?"

Gu Changge naturally shook his head. "How could that be? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Good, as long as you aren't!"

Ye Lingling's eyes curved into a smile. "All right, I understand. But today isn't the time to discuss this. Grandpa Dugu, Yanyan, I'm really sorry. Something happened in our family today, and everyone's in a bad mood. How about we postpone it until tomorrow... No, we probably won't recover by tomorrow either. Let's make it three days from now. Then my father, mother, and I will visit Grandpa Dugu together."
