With another punch, Tang Hao slammed his fist, wrapped in blood-red killing intent, into the wall.

The entire wall collapsed with a roar, rubble scattering across the floor.

Tang Hao gasped for air, standing amidst the debris like a wounded beast, his eyes filled with a blood-red glow.

Glancing one last time at the stone chamber that had been his home for six years, Tang Hao stumbled away, disappearing into the night.

The next day, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Ye Qingzhou walked out of the house, stretched his back, and let out a yawn.

"It's a bit strange sleeping in a new place, but the environment here is quite beautiful."

Just as Ye Qingzhou said, the morning at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was truly picturesque.

The two springs, one cold and one hot, converged, and the rising mist in the morning light made the place look like a fairyland.

The Blue Silver Grass planted just last night seemed much more vibrant, nourished by the spring water; dew clung to its leaves, swaying gently in the breeze.

The air was still filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

Suddenly, a large hand slapped onto Ye Qingzhou's shoulder.

"How was it, little monster? Did you sleep soundly last night?"

Ye Qingzhou stiffened as he turned around, coming face-to-face with Dugu Bo's kindly, oversized face.

"It was alright."

Seeing Ye Qingzhou looking a bit nervous, Dugu Bo laughed heartily: "What are you nervous about? I'm not going to eat you."

To be honest, if Ye Qingzhou could really become his grandson-in-law, he would be one hundred percent happy.

My granddaughter married a God King!

Ask anyone, who wouldn't want to say those words themselves?

Besides, from his own observations, this kid Ye Qingzhou was far better than that Yu Tianheng fellow.

Yu Tianheng looked like he had ulterior motives when he approached Yan Yan.

Dugu Yan walked out of the house, standing up for Ye Qingzhou: "Alright, Grandpa, stop scaring Qingzhou."

"Alright, alright." Faced with his granddaughter's intervention, Dugu Bo lost interest in a heartbeat.

Ye Qingzhou smiled and said: "It's fine, Sister Yan, I'm already used to Old Poison acting like this anyway."

Ever since he used the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to resolve the poison in Dugu Yan's martial soul and improve its quality, he could clearly feel her favorability toward him rising sharply.

The fact that she had abandoned Yu Tianheng to spend time alone with him was proof enough.

Not to mention their little playful banter from last night.

Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qingzhou and said: "Let's go. I happen to be taking Yan Yan to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so I'll give you a lift. Otherwise, if that fellow Old Ye starts complaining, I won't have an excuse."

"No problem."

Ye Qingzhou nodded; it was the perfect time to head to Tiandou City and grab a hot breakfast.

"Let's move." Dugu Bo waved at Ye Qingzhou and Dugu Yan, signaling them to follow.

Ye Qingzhou and Dugu Yan exchanged a smile and followed closely behind Dugu Bo.

Tiandou City.

The bustling streets were filled with various breakfast shops and the shouts of vendors.

Pedestrians walked along the streets in a steady stream.

"Sweet soy milk is still the best."

At the table, Ye Qingzhou chewed on a meat bun while sipping his sweet soy milk.

Looking at the sweet soy milk in Ye Qingzhou's bowl, a hint of disdain flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes: "That won't do. Why don't you try my savory soy milk?"

As she spoke, she pushed her bowl of savory soy milk toward Ye Qingzhou. Ye Qingzhou looked at the bowl and hesitated.

"This... Yan, maybe let's just skip it." Compared to savory soy milk, he preferred the sweet kind.

Seeing Ye Qingzhou refuse, Dugu Yan wouldn't let it go; she was determined to make him taste the deliciousness of savory soy milk.

She scooped a spoonful and held it to Ye Qingzhou's lips, her eyes full of anticipation:

"Oh, just try it, I promise it's delicious."

Ye Qingzhou still hesitated: "This..."

But the more Ye Qingzhou backed away, the more persistent Dugu Yan became.

Seeing the two of them acting so intimate, Dugu Bo's face darkened, and he gave a light cough:

"Since the little monster doesn't want to, don't force him."

"This... fine." Under Dugu Bo's intervention, Dugu Yan drank the savory soy milk from the spoon herself.

"That was close." Ye Qingzhou let out a sigh of relief, looked at his bowl of sweet soy milk, and then turned to look at Dugu Yan.

"Sister Yanzi."

Hearing Ye Qingzhou's call, Dugu Yan immediately had a bad feeling, and she looked at him with vigilance: "What are you trying to do?"

"How about you try my sweet soy milk?"

With that, Ye Qingzhou scooped up a spoonful of sweet soy milk and prepared to force it into Dugu Yan's mouth.

"Hey, you!" Seeing his movement, Dugu Yan hurriedly assumed a defensive stance.

"Sigh..." Dugu Bo covered his old face, refusing to look at the two of them bickering.

Can't they just eat a meal in peace!

After breakfast.

Ye Qingzhou toyed with the spoon in his hand, looking at Dugu Yan with the smile of a victor.

"How was it, Sister Yanzi? Was my sweet soy milk delicious?"

Dugu Yan, who had been forced to swallow the sweet soy milk, glared at him viciously, wanting to say something but unable to get the words out.

"It's not exactly delicious, but it's barely acceptable."

Having just taken a sip, it didn't seem as bad as she had imagined.

"The meal is finished, let's go." Dugu Bo stood up and looked at Ye Qingzhou and Dugu Yan.

"Mm, it's getting late now." Ye Qingzhou checked the time and realized that after finishing breakfast, it was already nearly noon.

Dugu Yan nodded and said: "Then let's go."

After finishing their meal, they left the breakfast shop, and before taking Dugu Yan to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Bo first dropped Ye Qingzhou off at Ye Family Clinic.

Arriving at Ye Family Clinic, Dugu Yan called out: "Lingling, it's time for us to go."

Not long after, Ye Lingling walked out from inside the clinic.

The moment she saw Ye Qingzhou, Ye Lingling's reproachful gaze pierced through him like a sharp thorn.

"Ye Qingzhou, you left home without reporting again."

Scolded by Ye Lingling, Ye Qingzhou was so startled he retreated behind Dugu Yan, poking his head out:

"Sister, let me explain."

Ye Lingling rejected his right to explain, saying sternly: "I'm not listening."

"Can you report before you go out next time?"

As soon as these words were out, Ye Qingzhou shivered in fear.

"I can, I definitely can."

If it were anyone else, Ye Qingzhou would have absolutely retorted.

But the person before him was the sister who had looked after him as he grew up.

Facing his sister's scolding, he could only accept it helplessly.

Dugu Yan was a bit dumbfounded; was this really the Ye Lingling she knew?

Why did it feel like her aura was a bit different?

Ye Lingling looked at Ye Qingzhou with suspicion: "Really?"

Her younger brother was good in every way, but sometimes he was just hard to describe.

Ye Qingzhou nodded heavily: "Really, really!"

Ye Lingling continued: "Grandfather said that if you returned, you should go to his study; he said there are two letters he wants you to see."
