"Grandfather, I don't know why you want to teach at Phantom Star, but I don't want to go there. I have my own ambitions, and someone I love!"
Dugu Yan stood before Dugu Bo with a stubborn expression, her tone resolute. Dugu Bo had met the person she spoke of and was fairly satisfied with him, but in his eyes, it was nothing more than child's play.
Wasn't the reason Dugu Yan liked Yu Tianheng simply because, among all the people she had met, only Yu Tianheng could withstand her poison?
But Dugu Yan had another reason for firmly refusing Dugu Bo: the Imperial Fighting Team she had previously belonged to had suffered a crushing defeat at Phantom Star's hands.
What was more, she knew that Ye Lingling had joined Phantom Star. When she first heard about it, she had scoffed at such behavior. If she agreed to Dugu Bo's proposal now, how humiliating would that be if word got out?
Dugu Bo's lips moved as he looked at his granddaughter, but in the end, it all turned into a long sigh.

He could not break his oath right after making it. He did not consider himself a gentleman, but neither could he do something so petty.
"Forget it, forget it."
Dugu Bo waved a hand, his eyes filled with loneliness and helplessness.
He had intended to keep persuading her, but seeing Dugu Yan's resolute expression, he could not bring himself to say anything. Perhaps they simply had no fate together.
