After parting ways with Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan did not leave Heaven Dou City immediately.
She was waiting, waiting for Yu Tianheng to have a change of heart.
Waiting for Yu Tianheng to apologize to her.
However, she waited in vain.
Dugu Yan knew that Yu Tianheng was truly determined to listen to that trash, Yu Xiaogang.
While feeling heartbroken, Dugu Yan also cursed herself for being blind.
Not only that, but rumors about her grandfather had been spreading throughout the city more and more lately.
This made her even more agitated, so she wanted to leave Heaven Dou City to find him.
She wanted her grandfather to back her up and vent her anger for her.
After leaving, she went to the places her grandfather frequented, but she could not find him anywhere.
This left Dugu Yan feeling somewhat worried.
The rumors about her grandfather were truly intensifying and becoming increasingly malicious.
The news had even spread far beyond the confines of Heaven Dou City.
No matter how slow her reaction might be, she could sense that this matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface; it was highly likely that someone from a major power was fanning the flames.
Soon, Dugu Yan thought of Yu Tianheng.
She quickly realized the truth.
All of this was the work of Yu Tianheng, or rather, Yu Xiaogang.
For the sake of their reputations, her grandfather was destined to be the one whose honor was sacrificed.
Dugu Yan knew her grandfather did not care about such things.
If she were still with Yu Tianheng, perhaps she would have truly swallowed this bitter pill.
But now, they were strangers.
How could Dugu Yan endure this insult?
And so, she stormed back in a fury.
She had only one target: Yu Xiaogang.
Whether it was their breakup or her grandfather's reputation being completely ruined, Dugu Yan was more convinced than ever that Yu Xiaogang was behind it all.
He was treating everyone in the world like fools.
Carrying her rage, Dugu Yan barged directly into Yu Xiaogang's residence.
"Yu Xiaogang, you hypocrite, you coward, you piece of trash who relies on women, get out here!"
Dugu Yan's spoiled temper had completely flared up; she had no regard for any so-called God Teacher.
She stood right at Yu Xiaogang's doorway and began to curse loudly.
Her sharp, aggressive aura frightened passersby into scurrying away.
Inside the courtyard, Yu Xiaogang naturally heard Dugu Yan's curses, and his expression turned exceptionally dark and ugly.
He, Yu Xiaogang, was a God Teacher now; how could he tolerate being berated and slandered like this by a woman?
But he knew he had to maintain his image.
He was a God Teacher who had taught a god; how could he lower himself to argue with such a person?
"Tianheng, since you have already made your decision, you must be decisive and make her give up completely."
With that, Yu Xiaogang turned his gaze toward Yu Tianheng, who was sitting opposite him.
The meaning was clear: go and resolve this matter yourself.
"Uncle, I understand!"
"Rest assured, I will not show any softness."
When Yu Tianheng heard Dugu Yan's voice, he had initially felt a twinge of guilt, but upon hearing her curse his uncle, that guilt vanished instantly.
All that remained was anger and dissatisfaction toward Dugu Yan.
It was true; he admitted that he had approached Dugu Yan in the beginning solely for the sake of Dugu Bo.
He had wanted to become the sect heir and use a Title Douluo as a bargaining chip to win over the sect.
During their time together, he had been barely satisfied with the relationship.
But that satisfaction was directed only at Dugu Yan; toward Dugu Bo, he was filled with resentment.
A level 91 Title Douluo—one would think he was some peerless Douluo given his attitude.
He had never given him a pleasant look and would constantly berate him as a coward.
In the past, for the sake of Dugu Yan and to win over Dugu Bo, he had endured it.
Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was gone, there was absolutely no need to win over Dugu Bo.
Besides, relying on his uncle gave him a much more powerful backing, and his own strength had grown significantly as well.
Therefore, he did not hold Dugu Bo in any regard at all.
He even harbored resentment toward Dugu Yan.
I have already conceded so much, willing to let you be my secret lover; is it really such a big deal that I won't give you a formal title?
And you still refuse!
The people of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were all incredibly arrogant; regardless of their status or situation, they looked down on everyone else.
Not to mention that their current situation was better than it had ever been, even better than when the clan was at its peak.
Although they lacked a Title Douluo, they had a god standing behind them!
"Dugu Yan, shut your mouth!"
Yu Tianheng rushed to the door and, facing the cursing Dugu Yan, struck her with a slap.
It was a strike infused with the power of lightning.
This slap was ruthless and heartless.
It sent blood trickling from the corner of Dugu Yan's mouth.
Dugu Yan laughed, a miserable, wretched sound.
She stared fixedly at the Yu Tianheng before her, and the last shred of expectation in her heart was completely shattered.
Just yesterday, she was still deceiving herself, believing that Tianheng must have had his own hidden reasons.
Until today, the facts told Dugu Yan that there were no so-called hidden reasons.
Everything was merely her own wishful thinking.
"Yu Tianheng, I will make you regret this!"
Dugu Yan left in a rage.
Having suffered such humiliation, she could only endure it.
There was no other choice; besides enduring, what else could she do?
She was currently only a level 69 Soul Emperor, while Yu Tianheng was already a Soul Douluo.
"Perhaps we can change the plan temporarily!"
Qian Yu, who had just been preparing to leave Heaven Dou City with Lüzhu to hunt for soul beasts, witnessed this scene. He felt that if the goal was just to eliminate Dugu Yan, it might not be as troublesome as he thought.
Yu Xiaogang and the others had already provided him with enough justification to act.
Once Dugu Yan was dead, Yu Xiaogang would have to shoulder the blame whether he wanted to or not.
He had overcomplicated things before.
After Dugu Bo fell, Dugu Yan was truly of no importance.
The only reason he had intended to target her was for the soul bone she possessed.
Seeing such a thing happen, he found it laughable.
His schemes and calculations had some effect, but before they could even fully manifest, the opponent had already acted foolishly on their own.
Could it be that I really am a Child of Destiny with an intelligence-lowering aura, causing enemies to lose their wits the moment they meet me?
Qian Yu found it absurd.
But once he remembered this was Douluo Continent, he found it reasonable.
In a world where a sneak attack on grain supplies could be considered a brilliant strategy, and a world where a challenge to a bet must always be accepted, anything that happened could be understood.
"In that case, let's change the plan."
"Let us show some kindness and send her to reunite with her grandfather."
"Having nothing left, living in this world is too exhausting for her!"
Qian Yu whispered as he looked in the direction Dugu Yan had taken to leave Heaven Dou City.
After confirming that no one was watching from the shadows, he and Xie Yue took Lüzhu and quietly followed.
