One day passes in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun started practicing as usual.
In addition to practicing, they would go to the Dugu Manor to sit and sit from time to time.
However, although Dugu Yan always looks relaxed, there is a trace of worry hidden deep in his heart.
She always smiled and joked in front of others, but when she glanced at her grandfather inadvertently, she would feel a little worried.
That afternoon, the two came to the Dugu Manor again.
Dugu Bo is in particularly good spirits today. In front of the stone table, Dugu Yan is making tea for Dugu Bo.
"Coming?" Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes and pointed to the stone bench opposite, "Come, sit down and try Yanyan's new tea art."
Zhou Qiubai and Yang Guyun sat down obediently, and Dugu Yan poured them two cups of tea.
"Good tea!" Zhou Qiubai took a sip and couldn't help but admire it.
Dugu Yan smiled slightly, but it showed a bit of reluctance.
"Boy Zhou." Dugu Bo suddenly asked, "Last time you said you had a crush on someone. I'm very curious, which girl is it that can make you so attracted to her?"
Zhou Qiubai almost choked for a moment.
This Titled Douluo can also gossip?
He just said it casually, Dugu Bo, did you really remember it?
"This..." he said with some embarrassment, "It's not actually a secret. It's just that the time has not come yet, so it's not convenient to say more now."
"Idle time is idle. Don't worry, although I, Dugu Bo, have a bad reputation, I have no interest in poaching others." His words made Zhou Qiubai couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone knows that Dugu Bo looks down on Yu Tianheng, but it is true that she dotes on her granddaughter.
So he really won't do things that break up people's feelings.
"She... is a very special person." He said slowly.
Dugu Yan blinked. "Then what?"
"Then..." Zhou Qiubai thought for a while, "She is extremely talented, but she is never proud of it. The most important thing is..."
He paused and lowered his voice. "She understands me."
Dugu Bo stared at him for a few seconds and suddenly laughed, "Okay! What a 'she understands me'! It is rarer than anything else in this world to meet someone who understands you!"
As soon as his laughter stopped, he started coughing. Dugu Yan quickly patted him on the back. "Grandpa, please slow down."
"It's okay, it's okay." Dugu Bo waved his hand and his eyes fell on Zhou Qiubai again, "What does that girl look like? Compared with my Yanyan, who is more beautiful?"
This question was asked in an unsubtle manner. Zhou Qiubai was immediately stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Dugu Yan's cheeks also turned red. "Grandpa!"
"What's the matter?" Dugu Bo said confidently, "In a girl's house, who doesn't care about this?"
Zhou Qiubai looked at Dugu Yan and said seriously, "Each one has its own beauty, just like peonies and lotus flowers, each is different."
"Yo." Dugu Bo teased, "Then tell me, which one is more beautiful, peony or lotus?"
"This..." Zhou Qiubai was suddenly in a dilemma.
Dugu Yan also looked at him, obviously wanting to know his answer.
Girls all love beauty, although Zhou Qiubai is not her cup of tea, but as for beauty, she thinks that although she is not the best, Heaven Dou City can be regarded as one of the best beauties.
Zhou Qiubai thought for a moment and finally said, "How does gold and silver compare with beautiful jade?"
This sentence was said cleverly, not only not offending Dugu Yan, but also expressing his own attitude.
Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, then he understood and his face turned redder, but in his heart he also admired Zhou Qiubai's intelligence.
By saying this, he was undoubtedly acknowledging that the girl was a unique existence in his heart.
But Dugu Bo pretended to be angry. "Boy, pay attention to what you say! How is my Yanyan inferior to others?"
Zhou Qiubai hurriedly handed over his hand. "Senior, please calm down, I didn't mean that. Miss Yanyan is talented and has outstanding appearance, so she is naturally excellent. It's just a matter of feelings, like a person drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or cold. In my heart, she is the best, there is no reason."
These words were sincere, Dugu Bo didn't want to embarrass him any more, so he just snorted softly, "You know how to talk, kid."
Dugu Yan was snickering on the sidelines.
"By the way." Dugu Bo suddenly remembered something, "Where is your sweetheart now?"
"In the Skywater Academy." Zhou Qiubai said truthfully.
"Skywater Academy?" Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows, "Shui Clan's girl?"
The only person who can match this kid's talent is a genius.
He is not an old antique, so he still knows the little information about Soul Master.
"Senior, do you know me?"
"I'm not talking about knowing each other, I've heard of them." Dugu Bo said, "Those two girls, Shui Clan, are both rare geniuses, especially the legitimate daughter, Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, is a top-level control system, and her future achievements will be limitless."
He paused and turned his eyes to Zhou Qiubai: "You have good taste."
Zhou Qiubai smiled and did not answer.
"But..." Dugu Bo changed the topic, "Shui Clan is a Soul Master family that has been passed down for thousands of years. There are many rules. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to marry their girl."
Unless she is an extremely talented person, it is impossible for her to let her daughter-in-law marry a poor boy.
Being a good match is not just talk.
Just like the original article Ning Rongrong has a crush on Oscar, do you really think Ning Fengzhi has a crush on Oscar?
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's rules have been passed down for so many years. Direct descendants are not allowed to marry auxiliary Soul Master. It is impossible to change just because Oscar has fighting ability.
People are investing in Tang San, or Blue Sky King.
"I know." Zhou Qiubai nodded, "So I want to become strong, so strong that Shui Clan has nothing to say, and strong enough that she can freely choose her own life."
Dugu Bo stared at him for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "It's great to be young... I have goals and drive, and I feel that as long as I am strong enough, I can change everything."
There was a hint of vicissitudes in his tone, as if he was missing something.
"Grandpa..." Dugu Yan called softly.
"It's okay." Dugu Bo waved his hand and picked up the teacup again, "Boy Zhou, remember what you said today. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, don't forget this original intention."
"Junior, remember."
······
The days passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Heaven Dou City East Gate, three quarters of the hour.
An inconspicuous green cloth carriage slowly passed through the city gate. The driver was a lean middle-aged man. After looking around, he drove towards the east of the city.
The carriage stopped at the door of Yuelai Old Inn.
The car curtain opened, and an old man stepped out steadily.
He stood at the door of the inn, looked up at the plaque, and snorted, "Broken inn."
The waiter at the door was about to greet the guests, but was so overwhelmed by his momentum that he didn't dare to step forward.
The old man walked into the inn minding his own business and walked straight upstairs.
At this time, Zhou Qiubai was reading in the room. When he heard the noise, he raised his head.
The door was pushed open.
The old man stood at the door, looking past Zhou Qiubai and falling directly on Yang Guyun who was sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath.
Yang Guyun slowly opened his eyes.
The moment their eyes met, the air seemed to freeze for three seconds.
Then the old man spoke, "I'll waste my time refining medicine and specialize in Spear Dao."
Yang Guyun put down his legs, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Grandpa."
