"Oh?"

Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's words, surprise crossed Dugu Bo's face.

He looked at Yu Tianchen and said calmly:

"Young man, what business do you have with me?"

"Senior Dugu Bo."

Yu Tianchen stood up, clasped his hands, and saluted Dugu Bo as a junior would. His manner was neither servile nor overbearing as he said:

"I asked my grandfather to bring me here to see you because I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Oh?"

Dugu Bo furrowed his brows, intrigued.

"Your grandfather is the great Thunder Douluo. Why come to me instead of asking him?"

"Not so."

Yu Tianchen smiled faintly.

"My grandfather came along too, didn't he?"

Dugu Bo paused, then laughed.

"You're an interesting kid. Go on, tell me. I'm curious what could possibly require two Titled Douluo to help you."

Hearing that, Yu Tianchen dropped the pleasantries and immediately stated his purpose:

"I'd like you to take me to that treasure land in the heart of Sunset Forest."

The moment those words left his mouth, the smile on Dugu Bo's face froze.

He narrowed his eyes, releasing the aura of a Titled Douluo.

He was just about to say something unpleasant when he saw Yu Yuanzhen calmly roll his wrist, the bones cracking sharply.

Dugu Bo: "..."

What a kid!

No wonder you said your grandfather was coming too.

So he's here to keep me in check!

In the end, all the unpleasant words on the tip of Dugu Bo's tongue were swallowed back down amid the sound of Yu Yuanzhen rolling his wrist.

Still, it was hardly realistic to expect him to simply admit the truth.

"There's a treasure land in Sunset Forest?"

"This is the first I've heard of it."

Dugu Bo feigned confusion as he spoke:

"Although I don't know where you got that information."

"You can't expect me to take you to a place even I don't know about, can you?"

"Senior Dugu Bo, has anyone ever told you that you're actually a pretty bad actor?"

Despite Dugu Bo's denial, Yu Tianchen maintained his polite smile.

"If I'm saying this, it's because I have ample evidence."

"First, whenever the weather turns rainy, you often disappear from public view."

"And the place you disappear to happens to be Sunset Forest."

"Second, if I'm not mistaken, you're poisoned, aren't you?"

"The treasure land I mentioned is filled with the clashing spiritual energy of heaven and earth, one extremely hot and the other extremely cold."

"Ordinary people might find it hard to endure, but for someone like you, whose body is riddled with poison, such a place can actually suppress the toxins in your body quite well."

"Am I right, Senior Dugu Bo?"

"Or would you like me to tell you about the symptoms you suffer when the poison in your body flares up?"

Dugu Bo's face had already darkened.

Especially when Yu Tianchen mentioned that he was poisoned.

For one brief moment, he genuinely considered killing Yu Tianchen right there.

But Yu Yuanzhen was sitting right there.

If he dared so much as try to lay a hand on Yu Tianchen,

Yu Yuanzhen's dragon claws would likely come crashing down on his head in an instant.

Dugu Bo wasn't particularly close to Yu Yuanzhen.

But he knew all too well how much Yu Yuanzhen valued the survival of his clan.

Now that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had finally produced such a top-tier talent,

if Dugu Bo killed him,

Yu Yuanzhen would truly go mad.

After a long silence, Dugu Bo finally let out a soft sigh.

"Young man, I won't press you on how you found all this out."

"Since you know how deeply poisoned I am, you should understand even better."

"How important that place is to me."

"I can't possibly hand it over to you."

"Oh?"

Before Yu Tianchen could speak, Yu Yuanzhen had already lost patience.

He gave a cold laugh and shot Dugu Bo a sidelong glance.

"So you're saying that my grandson and I have spent all this time speaking to you nicely for nothing?"

"So what if I am?"

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes.

The atmosphere grew tense in an instant.

"Grandfather, Senior Dugu Bo, please calm down."

Yu Tianchen spoke up.

Facing the dangerous aura radiating from Dugu Bo, he didn't back down in the slightest. He simply said:

"Senior Dugu Bo."

"I know you have your reasons for not wanting to give up that place."

"But what if I can cure the poison in your body?"

At those words, not only Dugu Bo but even Yu Yuanzhen stared at Yu Tianchen in astonishment.

"Kid, do you know what you're saying?"

Dugu Bo gave a disdainful laugh.

"I admit you have some talent. You've already reached the Soul Grandmaster realm at eight years old."

"But the poison in my body isn't something a green kid like you can cure."

"How will you know unless you try?"

Yu Tianchen's expression was calm.

"You don't have any better options anyway, do you?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you're not the only one showing signs of being poisoned. Your granddaughter, Miss Dugu Yan, is too, isn't she?"

"You don't need to ask how I know. With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's intelligence network, it wouldn't be difficult to look into the affairs of your Dugu Family."

Those words struck Dugu Bo right where it hurt.

Ever since his son died two years ago, Dugu Yan was the only one left in the Dugu Family.

If something happened to Dugu Yan too, then he...

Dugu Bo clenched his fists, then slowly relaxed them.

Finally, he let out a sigh.

"You're right."

"I really don't have a better solution for the poison that's built up inside me."

"Young man, I don't care about the poison in my own body. If you can truly cure Yan Yan's poison,"

"I can share that treasure land with you."

"If you can truly eliminate the threat of the poison in my body,"

"Then what would it matter if I gave you the whole place?"

"Tell me your method."

As Dugu Bo said this, Yu Tianchen felt as if a voice had sounded in his head.

The corner of his mouth lifted slightly, and he spoke in a clear voice:

"There are three ways I can deal with the poison in your body."

"The first is to force the accumulated poison into your Soul Bone. That would let you keep your poison-based cultivation, and might even allow you to advance further. It's a relatively safe approach."

"But the downside is that a Soul Bone can only withstand so much. It can't hold an unlimited amount of poison. If we use this method, you'll need to keep that in mind."

At this point, he paused. Rather than explain the other two methods, he smiled at Dugu Bo.

"Senior Dugu Bo, I've told you both the method and the drawbacks of the first option."

"Now, as a show of good faith, could you take me to see that treasure land in Sunset Forest?"
