"Chen Xin, Gu Rong, you actually came all the way here? Don't you two never leave Ning Fengzhi's side?"

Dugu Bo's cold gaze fixed on the people before him.

"Why should we report to you just because we showed up here?"

"Do you think Sunset Forest is your territory now, Dugu Bo?"

Bone Douluo immediately snorted disdainfully.

His words were extremely blunt, showing Dugu Bo no respect whatsoever.

Dugu Bo's expression turned cold as anger surged within him.

But seeing Sword Douluo beside him and Old Wu eyeing him menacingly, he ultimately held it in.

"Senior Dugu, we came to Sunset Forest this time because there are some matters we'd like to discuss with you."

Ye Ruilin spoke, breaking the stalemate.

Dugu Bo's gaze fell upon the half-grown boy once more.

In his eyes, a six-year-old was still at an age when they knew nothing, yet this child possessed such courage, daring to look him in the eye so openly.

"Kid, are you from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Dugu Bo spoke in a cold voice.

Ye Ruilin looked over at him and gently shook his head.

Seeing him shake his head, relief flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes.

But it was immediately replaced by confusion.

Other than his granddaughter, no one knew that he was in Sunset Forest.

Could this group be connected to his granddaughter somehow?

"What did you do to Yanyan?"

At that thought, intense killing intent erupted from Dugu Bo's eyes as he glared murderously at them.

If anything had truly happened to his granddaughter, then even if he was no match for them, he would make sure to take one or two of them down with him.

"Senior Dugu, please don't worry. We haven't done anything to your granddaughter."

Ye Ruilin explained.

"If you didn't do anything, how would you know I'm here?"

"Other than Yanyan, no one knows my whereabouts!"

Dugu Bo simply did not believe him.

"You'd better not have done anything to Yanyan. If anything happens to her, I, Dugu Bo, swear I will never let you off!"

"So what if you're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

After saying that, he coldly stared at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, looking ready to fight to the death.

"You old poison monster are truly ridiculous."

"We already told you, we didn't do anything to your granddaughter at all."

Bone Douluo showed no fear as he coldly stared at Poison Douluo.

Anyone who had threatened him in his lifetime had grass three feet high growing over their graves, their bones long since turned to dust.

Sword Douluo remained quite calm, leaving full control to Ye Ruilin.

After all, they had only come this time to follow Ye Ruilin's arrangements.

Dugu Bo did not believe Ye Ruilin's words.

But the moment Bone Douluo spoke, Dugu Bo's gaze instantly calmed.

For Title Douluo like them, they disdained lying. If they had done it, they had done it; if they had not, then they had not.

"What do you want with me?"

His emotions eased, and he was no longer as agitated as before.

"Senior Dugu, I came here for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

Ye Ruilin spoke directly.

They held absolute strength on their side. Dugu Bo could not possibly be their match.

As long as Dugu Bo appeared, Ye Ruilin was confident he could subdue him and make him hand over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The instant he heard the words Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply.

After all, he had never told anyone about such a secret!

Even his biological granddaughter, Dugu Yan, only knew that he lived in Sunset Forest.

In the entire world, aside from Dugu Bo himself, probably no one knew of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's existence.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Dugu Bo's eyes flickered as a trace of killing intent flashed through them, only to be swiftly hidden again.

If not for the three Title Douluo behind the boy watching him closely, he would have struck and killed him the instant he mentioned the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"Senior Dugu, you should understand that since I appeared here, I already know the truth."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all this way to Sunset Forest specifically to find you."

At that point, his tone grew noticeably heavier.

"Are you sure you want to keep playing dumb with me?"

A faint smile appeared on Ye Ruilin's face.

He had known this old man would not obediently hand over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

If Old Wu had been the only one here, this old man might have considered killing him to keep the information hidden.

To obtain the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well from Dugu Bo this time without incident,

he had spent a tremendous favor.

Seeing how certain the boy sounded, as well as the chill in his eyes,

Dugu Bo suddenly felt rather emotional. What was wrong with young people these days?

No matter how hard he thought, he could not figure out how information about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had leaked.

And why did this boy know of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's existence?

Looking at the calm expressions on Sword Douluo's and Bone Douluo's faces behind him,

it seemed they did not even know what this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was.

This boy did not belong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, yet he could summon the sect's two great Title Douluo.

Just who was this boy?

Countless questions filled Dugu Bo's mind.

"Senior, how about I buy it from you at a high price?"

Ye Ruilin decided to offer Dugu Bo a way out.

At the mention of money, Dugu Bo immediately snorted disdainfully.

How could the treasures within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well possibly be measured by money?

He subconsciously prepared to mock him, but then felt several icy gazes fixed upon him.

Dugu Bo instantly swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

"Old man, offering to buy it is already giving you face."

"I hope you know what's good for you."

"The Young Master may have a good temper, but mine is not good at all."

Old Wu looked coldly at Dugu Bo and spoke in a grim tone.

His Martial Soul, the Blazing Demon Dog, was naturally capable of suppressing certain poisons.

If they fought, he truly might not fear this old man radiating poison from head to toe.

Anger flashed through Dugu Bo's green eyes, and his expression became extremely ugly.

Though he did not want to admit it, he was in a very passive position now.

The presence of three Title Douluo was something he had no way of resisting.

If he refused,

then given the current situation, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would definitely attack together.

He might truly end up leaving his life behind in Sunset Forest.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was valuable, but compared to his life, it was not worth mentioning.

"You want the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? Fine! But I have one condition."

Thinking of his physical condition, Dugu Bo finally spoke.

Whether they could fulfill it or not, he would not lose out.

After all, he could not protect the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in the first place.

And since they knew it was in his possession, they would surely consider accepting his condition in order to obtain it.

"Go ahead."

A gentle smile returned to Ye Ruilin's face.

"As everyone knows, my title, Dugu Bo, is Poison Douluo."

"Some poisons come with my Martial Soul, while others were made by me. Countless toxins have long seeped deep into my body."

"Now, I can only rely on the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well's unique environment to suppress them."

"But that method only treats the symptoms, not the root cause."

"I hope you can remove the toxins from my body. If you agree, I will immediately offer the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with both hands."

After hearing Dugu Bo's words, Ye Ruilin had expected as much and nodded calmly.

Ma Hongjun slipped over from behind and came to Ye Ruilin's side.

"Boss, we have absolute superiority here. Why should we consider his condition?"

"If he refuses, can't we just beat him until he agrees?"

Ma Hongjun leaned close to Ye Ruilin's ear and spoke quietly.

Though his voice was soft, before the absolute strength of a Title Douluo, it could still be heard clearly.

Dugu Bo's cold gaze fell upon Ma Hongjun.

For the first time, Ma Hongjun felt the killing intent of a Title Douluo lock onto him.

His entire body went rigid as if struck by lightning.

Ye Ruilin stepped forward and stood between them.

"Senior, I am not proficient in medicine, but if there is ever a chance in the future to remove the toxins from your body, I certainly will not refuse."

Ye Ruilin did not make any absolute promises.

After all, he himself was not certain whether he could resolve the toxins in Dugu Bo's body.

"Hahahaha."

"What harm is there in trusting you once?"

"These toxins have been rooted in my body for years. I can still wait another twenty years or so."

Dugu Bo had always possessed a sharp eye.

Though he did not know Ye Ruilin's exact identity,

he could tell from their brief exchange that this boy had a resolute temperament and killed without hesitation!

The killing intent in Ye Ruilin's eyes had flashed by just now. Though it had lasted only an instant, he had caught it clearly.

He possessed extraordinary courage and acted decisively. If his talent was exceptional, he would surely become a powerhouse in the future.

With two Title Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect guarding him, and another Title Douluo willing to serve as his subordinate,

though Dugu Bo would lose a treasure like the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well,

forming a good connection with such a future powerhouse would not be an unprofitable deal.

"Follow me."

"Since you have agreed, I, Dugu Bo, am not someone who breaks his word."

The poisonous aura around Dugu Bo slowly dissipated, and his figure fully appeared before them.

Old Wu immediately came to Ye Ruilin's side.

He would always remember his mission: protecting the Young Master's safety.

Even though the man before them had agreed to hand over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well,

the caution in his bones still prevented him from trusting anyone.

Only when the Young Master remained within his sight could he rest easy.

Ye Ruilin understood Old Wu's thoughts and merely smiled without saying anything.

"Two seniors, come with us."

"This is why I came to Sunset Forest."

"Once we return from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the promise will be fulfilled."

Ye Ruilin turned to Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo and spoke with a smile.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo merely nodded faintly, while Ning Rongrong curiously ran over.

"Brother Ye, what kind of place is that? I want to go too!"

The little girl was full of curiosity about unknown places.
