Na'er (Seeking Collection and Follow-up Reads)

After lecturing Yu Tianshuo and the two Title Douluo, Qian Renxue continued to play the role of Xue Qinghe, preparing to greet Dugu Bo. After all, dragging Yu Tianshuo away without saying a word just now was far too impolite.

The three who had been lectured sat where they were, looking at one another. In the end, no one said a word, choosing to act as if the incident had never happened.

Yu Tianshuo quickly caught up with Qian Renxue. The two soon reached the entrance of the dining hall. Reopening the doors, they saw Dugu Bo still eating dessert and drinking tea, looking quite content.

Seeing Dugu Bo restored to his youthful appearance, Qian Renxue still felt quite astonished. After all, the concept of returning to one's youth was too magical, like something that would only appear in a storybook.

However, she quickly regained her composure. After respectfully wishing Dugu Bo a good morning, she apologized for her earlier rudeness.

Dugu Bo merely waved his hand, signaling that he had not taken it to heart.

Yet, his gaze toward Yu Tianshuo and Qian Renxue was hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but feared discouraging the two. In the end, he said nothing, simply offering a greeting before taking Yu Tianshuo away.

Inside the carriage on the return journey, Dugu Bo finally could not hold back. Looking at Yu Tianshuo, he said earnestly, "Tianshuo, although Master is not a particularly traditional person, and I have heard that there are indeed some strange habits within the imperial family, you are still young. Getting involved in such things now will do your cultivation no good."

"Listen to your master: stay away from the First Prince in the future and don't pick up those bad habits."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo placed a hand on Yu Tianshuo's shoulder, his eyes filled with earnestness.

Yu Tianshuo looked at his master in this state, feeling somewhat bewildered. However, in an instant, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

Could it be that the old man already knows I promised the Elder Hall's recruitment on his behalf, and he is using these words to needle me because he is dissatisfied with my actions!?

Thinking this, Yu Tianshuo had to sigh; he truly was a veteran of the world to have discovered such a hidden matter. With no other choice, Yu Tianshuo met his master's gaze, preparing to explain his cooperation with the Elder Hall.

As for what Dugu Bo was thinking, please see the VCR.

I absolutely cannot let my disciple develop a penchant for dragon-yang. I must correct this erroneous concept of his right now.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo looked into Yu Tianshuo's eyes and said, "You must break off that improper, homosexual relationship with the First Prince."

"Master, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have agreed to join the Elder Hall on your behalf."

Silence--!

The silence at this moment was deafening.

The two stared at each other.

Dugu Bo's expression shifted from confusion to astonishment.

Yu Tianshuo's expression shifted from astonishment to confusion.

The two asked their respective questions at the same time.

"What exactly are you talking about?" x2

The air fell into silence once more.

In the end, it was Dugu Bo who spoke first, breaking the silence.

"So, when did you accept the Elder Hall's recruitment for me?"

Yu Tianshuo was like a quail, huddled in the corner of his seat, but he answered honestly.

"The first time I met the First Prince."

Dugu Bo rubbed his brow, attempting to suppress his anger with the gesture, but his tone remained through gritted teeth.

"So you brat don't have a homosexual relationship with the First Prince, it's just regular communication?"

Hearing his master's tone, Yu Tianshuo became even more afraid. Like a child who had made a mistake, he stammered, "Something like that."

Hearing this, Dugu Bo could no longer hold back. In an instant, he retrieved the Bone Whip made from the Ten-Thousand Year Snake Bone and Snake Tendon from his Soul Tool to loosen his disciple's muscles.

Yu Tianshuo was quick-witted; he lunged forward and hugged his master, gripping his arms tightly so he couldn't swing the whip, while hurriedly shouting, "Master, don't be hasty! Aren't you curious why I wanted to join the Elder Hall?"

However, the one standing before Yu Tianshuo now was the young Dugu Bo, not the elderly version of him.

If it were in the past, he might have endured it to hear how Yu Tianshuo would quibble.

As for now, though.

Dugu Bo said nothing, merely releasing a small-scale Eighth Soul Skill, Time Solidification.

In an instant, Dugu Bo vanished from Yu Tianshuo's embrace.

Just as Yu Tianshuo was still marveling at his master's increased proficiency with his Eighth Soul Skill, Dugu Bo's cold voice reached his ears.

"Wait until I'm done beating you, then you can explain the reason to me properly."

With that, he began his loving education of his disciple within the cramped space.

Yu Tianshuo could only use various screams to marvel at his master's refined technique.

Meanwhile, just as Dugu Bo was educating Yu Tianshuo, a spatial rift appeared above their heads.

From the rift emerged a petite figure, roughly six years old, with long, silver-white hair draped over their body, covering them from head to toe.

The moment she exited the passage, she plummeted in freefall, crashing directly onto the carriage occupied by Yu Tianshuo and Dugu Bo.

Although the two men sensed the disturbance, they felt no malice and initially ignored it; it was only after the figure had smashed into the carriage that they realized something was amiss.

Dugu Bo did not hesitate, instantly activating Martial Soul Possession.

"Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red."

Nine soul rings swirled around him, an incredibly terrifying aura erupting from his body.

Yu Tianshuo's reaction was no slower, and he immediately activated Martial Soul Possession as well.

"Yellow, purple-gold, gold-brown."

Three soul rings circled his body as he watched the beautiful figure that had suddenly crashed into the carriage with wariness.

However, after observing for only a moment, he noticed something wrong, and an unbelievable conjecture surfaced in his mind.

He did not voice his theory, instead channeling a small amount of Dragon Might to cover the figure.

In an instant, the Dragon Might clashed with the energy inside the figure, and a silver spear manifested upon her, helping her resist the entirety of Yu Tianshuo's pressure.

The moment he saw this object, the conjecture in Yu Tianshuo's heart was confirmed.

Silver Dragon King avatar, Na'er!

Faced with this confirmed suspicion, Yu Tianshuo felt nothing but disbelief and deep confusion.

Are you kidding me?

You sent Di Tian to capture me yesterday, and today the main body comes over to go undercover?

Is this right, sister?

My background is already starting to look exactly like Huo Yuhao's, and now you're adding Tang Wulin into the mix for me?

Although Yu Tianshuo remained puzzled by the current situation, he dared not let his guard down, staring fixedly at Na'er.

However, his master's voice caused him to fall into a stunned silence.

He heard Dugu Bo say in a stern tone:

"Stay away from Yanyan in the future. While I support you in normal relationships, I won't tolerate pedophilia. Pull back that gaze of yours; it's far too intense."

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Yu Tianshuo looked at his master in disbelief and let out a bewildered sound.

"Huh—?"
