Dugu Bo's Wild Guess! Immortal Herb Administrator!

Dugu Bo was currently furious, the air pressure around him dropping to a terrifying level.

To him, his precious granddaughter was everything; even his own life was not as important as her.

Daring to make his precious granddaughter cry was worse than dancing on his family's graves—it was practically courting death.

"Yanyan, tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Don't be afraid, tell Grandfather. No matter who the other party is, even if it's a Title Douluo, Grandfather will seek justice for you."

Dugu Bo spoke with great confidence. Among the Title Douluo currently known on the continent, he was the only one without any attachments.

Having a faction or a family was a weakness in his eyes.

He might not be able to defeat any single Title Douluo, but he could certainly ensure that they were the only ones left of their entire lineage.

Just ask yourself, are you afraid?

Hearing her grandfather's concern, Dugu Yan's emotions eased slightly. She wiped away her tears, shook her head slightly, and said, "It's not that, no one bullied me."

"Then why are you..." Dugu Bo was puzzled.

Dugu Yan pondered for a moment, carefully choosing her words, and looked at her grandfather with a serious expression: "Grandfather, our Martial Souls have a defect, and the toxins harm us, don't they?"

Dugu Bo was stunned upon hearing this. He never expected his precious granddaughter to ask this, and he blurted out, "Yanyan, how did you kno—"

Realizing he had let something slip, he stopped abruptly. But seeing his granddaughter's "don't try to lie to me" expression, he sighed and continued:

"That's right, our family's Martial Soul does indeed have this defect. That is why your father and mother originally..."

Speaking of this, Dugu Bo's aged face was filled with sorrow. It was clear that this event had been a massive blow to him, one he could never forget.

"Yanyan, how on earth did you find out?"

Adjusting his emotions, Dugu Bo looked at his precious granddaughter again and asked with a frown.

He had never mentioned this to anyone, and he had never shown any outward signs of it.

How did Yanyan find out?

Could someone have said something to her?

A flash of hidden killing intent appeared in the depths of Dugu Bo's eyes; his family's secrets must never be known by others.

"I..."

Dugu Yan was about to speak, but she suddenly remembered that the contents of the Diary could not be revealed to outsiders, and she found herself at a loss for words.

Lingling and she both possessed copies of the Diary, so it was fine for them to talk among themselves.

But if she dared to ignore the warning and insist on telling an outsider, she would be erased by the Diary.

Having finally seen a glimmer of hope, she did not want to court death by testing the validity of that rule.

"Uh... oh, just don't worry about how I know."

"Anyway, I just know, and I also know that there is someone who can save us."

"Oh?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow. His first reaction upon hearing this was disbelief.

He had spent his whole life dealing with poison and had found no solution; how could an outsider possibly have one?

However, disbelief aside, there was no harm in listening.

Furthermore, if his guess was correct, the reason Yanyan knew about this must be because of the person she was talking about.

If that was the case, then he needed to find out more.

To actually know his family's secret and reveal it to Yanyan to reach him—the motives were likely impure.

"To have such ability, who is it?"

Dugu Yan did not notice the strange look in her grandfather's eyes. After a brief pause to organize her thoughts, she said:

"He is a student who just joined the Heaven Dou Royal Academy yesterday. He was brought by His Highness the Crown Prince."

"He is very young, but his strength is formidable. Yesterday, he suppressed Yu Tianheng with just a casual move."

"I heard he might be a descendant of a hidden family. His talent, strength, and even his methods are extraordinary."

To add credibility to her words, Dugu Yan specifically gave Su Ye the identity of a descendant of a hidden family.

It was no secret that there were some powerful, ancient hidden families on the continent.

Since no one knew the specifics anyway, she might as well embellish it.

Sure enough, hearing that it involved both the Crown Prince and a descendant of a hidden family, Dugu Bo became slightly more serious, even mentally filling in the cause and effect himself.

In his view, there were only two possibilities.

Either the Crown Prince had found out about his situation from somewhere and specifically sent someone to help him detoxify in order to win him over.

Or, his own little darling had taken a fancy to some brat from who-knows-where and was saying all this just to get him to accept the guy.

Of course, it could not be ruled out that the other party really did have a way.

If that were the case, then he really should go and meet him.

Regardless of which possibility it was, it certainly wasn't a bad thing.

The former goes without saying; if he could truly cure the poison, even with his reservations regarding Prince Xue Xing, he would have no choice but to accept the favor.

He did not care about himself, but Dugu Yan was still young, and he did not want to experience the tragedy of a white-haired man burying a black-haired one ever again.

As for the latter...

In the event that he were to pass away one day, at least there would be someone to look after Dugu Yan.

Therefore, even though he felt deeply displeased at the thought of his little cabbage being arched, finding a good home for her was still necessary.

"Oh, I see. In that case, take Grandfather to meet him. If he can truly cure us, it won't matter what price we have to pay."

Seeing that her grandfather did not probe further, Dugu Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief, then grabbed his arm and hurried toward the outside.

"Then let's go quickly, Grandfather."

"Sigh..."

Ye Lingling watched the grandfather and granddaughter walking away, her head full of black lines.

No, seriously, why did you drag me along?

As a support-type soul master, running back and forth like this is exhausting, you know?

Fortunately, Dugu Yan had not truly forgotten her good friend, and the two soon returned.

With Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, leading the way, their speed was naturally incomparable to before, and in no time, the three arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Just like Dugu Yan, Su Ye was now a celebrity in the academy, and since he made no effort to hide his tracks, his whereabouts were not difficult to inquire about.

After finishing a luxurious breakfast, Su Ye had returned to his residence to continue his cultivation.

To him, the academy's simulated cultivation grounds were useless; it made no difference where he cultivated.

At this moment, Su Ye was in his room comprehending the Void Sutra, frantically absorbing the knowledge within, when suddenly, his door was gently knocked.

"Knock! Knock!"

Su Ye opened his eyes, thinking to himself: It's here!

He stood up and opened the door, and sure enough, standing outside were Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and an elderly man he had never met before, yet whose features were unmistakable.

Clearly, this was the immortal herb administrator who, in a certain sense, could rival Brother Tao in various fan fictions.

The Poison Douluo—Dugu Bo!

"Oh? Are you two finished with your business?"

A look of perfectly measured surprise appeared on Su Ye's face as he spoke, gesturing for the three to enter.

As a super genius brought personally by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, Su Ye's treatment was naturally beyond reproach, and his residence was incredibly luxurious.

Never mind three people; it could easily accommodate thirty.

After the group sat down in the living room and Su Ye exchanged a few casual pleasantries with the two girls, he finally turned his gaze toward Dugu Bo, who had remained silent throughout, his eyes filled with a hint of scrutiny.
