Meeting Dugu Bo, Snow Emperor's Suppression

"Everyone, regarding the friendly matches, our academy may need to delay them for a while."

Dugu Yan looked toward Shui Bing'er and the others from the Four Elements Academies as she spoke.

She was currently desperate to verify whether what Yu Tianshuang had said was true.

Moreover, Yu Tianheng had already lost his combat capability.

Even with Ye Lingling, a top-tier healing-type Spirit Master, to treat him, it would likely take some time before he could fully recover his ability to fight.

Therefore, they naturally lacked the capacity for any matches in the short term.

"Of course, that's no problem."

"Mm, we understand."

Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and the others all expressed their stance.

There was a reason for the situation, so it was understandable.

Although the Thunder Academy side did not explicitly state their position, their captain, Yu Tianxin, had already accompanied Yu Tianheng to receive treatment, so it was clearly impossible for them to participate either.

Thus, it could only be postponed.

"Since that is the case, this..."

"Young Master Yu, come with me."

Dugu Yan paused for a moment.

It was only then that she suddenly realized Yu Shuangbai also carried the surname Yu.

However, he should have no connection to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

A guess surfaced in her heart, but she dismissed it the very next second.

Dugu Yan felt that if Yu Shuangbai were truly a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he certainly would not have dealt such a heavy blow to Yu Tianheng.

"Mm, Sister Xue, let's go."

Yu Shuangbai nodded slightly, then turned to look at Shui Bing'er and the others from Skywater Academy.

"Many thanks to you all for providing the convenience."

"It was a small favor, not worth mentioning." Shui Bing'er managed to squeeze out a faint smile.

For some reason, seeing Yu Shuangbai prepare to leave, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

Although they had only known each other for two days, Yu Shuangbai's brilliance had already left an indelible impression on the young girl's heart.

But Shui Bing'er did not speak up to ask him to stay.

Despite the reluctance in her heart, she recognized the reality of the relationship between them clearly.

When it came down to it, they were merely two people who had met by chance.

She had no standing to ask Yu Shuangbai to stay.

Furthermore, Skywater Academy did not recruit male students, so she had no reason to keep him.

Watching Yu Shuangbai and Snow Emperor follow Dugu Yan away, the expression on Shui Bing'er's small face dimmed a little.

"Sister?"

Shui Yue'er leaned in closer.

As Shui Bing'er's sister by blood, she was the person in all of Skywater Academy who understood Shui Bing'er the best.

She sensed her low spirits.

In contrast, Shui Yue'er had a lively personality and was much more carefree.

Although she felt some reluctance at the departure of the handsome man, it did not affect her usual sunny disposition.

"Reluctant to see Young Master Yu go?"

Shui Yue'er gave a teasing smile, making no effort to hide the playfulness in her voice.

This was the first time she had ever seen Shui Bing'er look like this.

Since they were young, Shui Bing'er had always acted exceptionally mature.

She belonged to the opposite extreme from her.

She was just like the typical "perfect child" always mentioned by their parents.

Shui Bing'er always appeared as a gentle young lady, dignified and measured, doing everything with propriety.

Today was the first time Shui Yue'er had seen Shui Bing'er show the small, vulnerable expressions a girl her age should have.

"No."

Seeing Shui Yue'er lean in, Shui Bing'er instinctively maintained her usual posture, tucking away the gloom on her face and putting on a stern expression.

"Stubborn."

Shui Yue'er giggled, mercilessly exposing her sister's hypocrisy.

Having her thoughts laid bare, a faint flush rose to Shui Bing'er's small face.

She furrowed her brows, feeling somewhat annoyed and embarrassed:

"Yue'er, it seems you've become a bit restless since your breakthrough."

"Since the friendly match is postponed, let's spar."

"Don't!" The smile on Shui Yue'er's small face vanished instantly.

She knew her own situation best.

Shui Bing'er wasn't looking for a spar; she was clearly looking to teach her a lesson!

Shui Yue'er was very clear about her own weight.

Although she had broken through to become a Soul Elder, the gap between her and her sister Shui Bing'er remained vast.

If they really fought, she would only be on the receiving end of a one-sided beating.

"Sister, I was wrong!"

"Being wrong won't save you, come with me!"

Amidst Shui Yue'er's pleas for mercy, Shui Bing'er grabbed her clothes and dragged her toward the Soul Fighting Arena.

Xue Wu and the others from Skywater Academy were already accustomed to this.

The corners of their mouths curled into gloating smiles.

That girl Yue'er was in for another round of physical suffering.

On the other side.

Yu Shuangbai and Snow Emperor followed Dugu Yan into a small courtyard in Heaven Dou City.

This was where Dugu Bo stayed when he was in Heaven Dou City.

However, because he usually stayed in the Sunset Forest, he rarely landed here.

Therefore, it was not known to the world.

Very few people knew that this small courtyard in Heaven Dou City belonged to the notorious Poison Douluo.

"Grandpa."

Dugu Yan pushed open the courtyard gate directly, walking with her long legs.

She shouted loudly toward the courtyard.

Before long.

An old voice filled with doting affection rang out:

"Yanyan, you're back."

A thin, withered old man dressed in green robes walked out from the courtyard.

His appearance was not kind.

He was like a venomous snake, making people instinctively want to keep their distance.

But when his gaze landed on Dugu Yan, he revealed a doting expression that was completely at odds with his exterior.

He looked just like an ordinary old man doting on his descendant.

If one ignored the cold, sinister aura about him, it would be hard to connect this old man, whose face was full of doting, with the notorious Poison Douluo.

"Grandpa."

Dugu Yan called out sweetly and trotted over to Dugu Bo's side.

She immediately got to the point.

"Grandpa, we are poisoned, aren't we?"

Dugu Yan raised her emerald-green eyes to look at Dugu Bo.

Her eyes were filled with questioning and nervousness.

As soon as these words were spoken, the doting look on Dugu Bo's face vanished instantly.

It was replaced by gravity and gloom.

He did not answer directly, but instead asked in a deep voice:

"Yanyan, who told you this?"

Subsequently, he raised his head and cast his gaze toward Yu Tianshuang and Snow Emperor.

His voice carried a trace of killing intent.

"Are those two the ones?"

Dugu Yan was the only reverse scale in Dugu Bo's heart.

If anyone dared to set their sights on her, Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo, would bare his hideous fangs like a giant serpent.

Sensing the killing intent released by Dugu Bo, Snow Emperor let out a cold snort and stepped forward without showing any weakness, shielding Yu Shuangbai.

She unleashed her icy aura without reservation.

In an instant, she suppressed Dugu Bo's killing intent with overwhelming superiority, turning the tables to surround him instead.

He was merely a petty human Titled Douluo.

Had Yu Shuangbai not instructed her beforehand not to take action unless absolutely necessary, the Emperor Sword of Snow Emperor would have already been unsheathed, severing Dugu Bo's head for the killing intent he had just displayed toward Yu Shuangbai.

Dugu Yan was Dugu Bo's reverse scale.

Was Yu Shuangbai not also the reverse scale of Snow Emperor?

Seeing her grandfather act this way, Dugu Yan's heart sank.

How could she not understand her own grandfather?

Although Dugu Bo did not answer, his reaction had already provided the answer.
