Return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

"Hehe, well, kid from the Ye Family, since we've already returned to Tiandou City, I need to go find my granddaughter."

Dugu Bo rubbed his hands together with a somewhat embarrassed smile on his face, though his gaze flickered toward Ye Ruilin from time to time.

Seeing that Ye Ruilin and his group were preparing to head straight back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he felt a bit anxious; after all, the last time he had seen his granddaughter Dugu Yan was a year ago.

Having not seen her for so long, he missed her dearly and wanted to see how Dugu Yan was living these days.

"Senior, please, go ahead."

Ye Ruilin spoke with a smile.

He understood Dugu Bo's intentions; although Dugu Bo insisted on staying by his side, he was ultimately not his servant.

In fact, they couldn't even be considered friends.

What bound them together was a relationship of mutual interest.

Yet, Ye Ruilin felt this kind of relationship was extremely reliable; after all, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

As long as the interests were sufficient, Dugu Bo would never betray him.

Dugu Bo's eyes rolled, and a thought stirred in his heart.

"Kid from the Ye Family, do you want to come with me?"

"My granddaughter is truly outstanding."

Dugu Bo very much wanted to introduce Dugu Yan to Ye Ruilin.

"Although you couldn't remove the toxins in my body, with your abilities, you should be able to resolve the toxins in my granddaughter's body, right?"

Dugu Bo's words carried a hint of probing, yet his eyes looked at Ye Ruilin with anticipation.

A look of confidence appeared on Ye Ruilin's face.

The poison in Dugu Yan's body was truly nothing in his eyes.

"Brother Ye, Father is still waiting for us to return."

Ning Rongrong stared at Dugu Bo, pouting, her little mouth stuck out high.

In her view, this old thing just wanted to snatch her Brother Ye away.

How could she possibly agree to let Brother Ye go with him to see some granddaughter?

Ye Ruilin smiled helplessly and reached out to rub her head.

"Rongrong, don't make a fuss."

After pacifying Ning Rongrong, he turned to Dugu Bo and said.

"Senior, if you have any needs, you can come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find me."

Having been out for so long, everyone's strength had improved rapidly, and it was time to consolidate their cultivation.

Seeing that Ye Ruilin hadn't agreed to go with him, Dugu Bo felt a bit of regret, but he couldn't force it. He nodded, and his figure quickly vanished.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Dugu Yan was sitting alone in the garden, holding a book in her hands.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared before her.

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Dugu Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and a brilliant smile bloomed on her face.

"Grandpa."

The young girl stood up abruptly and threw herself into Dugu Bo's arms, her eyes filled with longing and joy.

"You haven't come to see me for so long."

There was a hint of grievance in the young girl's voice.

"Alright, Yanyan."

"Isn't Grandpa here to see you now?"

"After returning this time, Grandpa will be able to stay by your side often."

Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter with a chuckle, patting her back, his tone full of doting affection.

Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Dugu Yan looked up in surprise, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"Really?"

"Then Grandpa, your body..."

The young girl's tone was still a bit hesitant.

Although she was young, she understood that the reason Grandpa couldn't stay by her side was because of the toxins in his body.

"This time in the Sunset Forest, I happened to meet a youth with quite good talent."

"He has the ability to help me resolve the toxins in my body."

Dugu Bo briefly recounted what had happened in the Sunset Forest.

Dugu Yan's small face was instantly filled with surprise.

She had not expected that the problem which had plagued her grandfather for so many years could actually be solved by a young man.

"I came to find you this time because I want to take you to see him."

"The toxins in your body will also require his help to be completely resolved."

"You are still young and the toxins have not taken deep root, so it might be simpler."

Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan with a smile, his expression extremely relaxed.

It had been a long time since he felt this lighthearted.

Whether it was the toxins in his granddaughter's body or his own, they had both been like massive boulders weighing heavily upon his heart.

"Really?"

Surprise and hesitation flickered in Dugu Yan's eyes.

The toxins in her body meant she had never had friends by her side; even at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she was always alone. She had dreamed of removing the toxins from her body.

"Right, Yanyan."

"That kid seems to be a bit younger than you, but his talent is exceptional and his strength is terrifying."

"At such a young age, he is simply a monster!"

"If you could make that guy my Dugu Bo's grandson-in-law, hahahaha, that would be wonderful."

Dugu Bo seemed to be thinking about the future, and the smile on his face was unstoppable.

Dugu Yan was stunned; she hadn't expected her grandfather to have such an idea, and the young girl's face turned red instantly.

"Grandfather!"

With a coquettish shout, she buried her head directly into Dugu Bo's chest.

Dugu Bo did not mind; after all, his granddaughter was still young, and as long as she stayed by that kid's side, there would eventually be a chance to win him over!

"Yanyan, do you want to stay by that kid's side, or continue to stay here at Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Dugu Bo glanced at the academy behind him and asked.

Having been away from his granddaughter since she was small, he cared quite a bit about Dugu Yan's own opinion.

"Your grandfather promised to protect that kid, at least until he resolves the toxins in my body."

"I will likely be staying by that kid's side all the time."

Dugu Yan spoke without hesitation.

"I want to be with Grandfather!"

At this Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she was just one person anyway; it would be better to stay by her grandfather's side.

"Good!"

"Then we shall head to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to find that kid."

Dugu Bo laughed heartily once more.

"Yanyan, let me tell you, that kid already has the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect master by his side."

"But don't panic, my Yanyan's conditions are not bad either."

"One day, you will definitely be able to win that kid over."

The grandfather and granddaughter walked slowly, with Dugu Bo offering a word or two of guidance from time to time.

Dugu Yan beside him only gave a soft acknowledgment, but her face held a helpless expression.

She felt that her grandfather was overthinking things.

However, she had developed a bit of curiosity about the Ye Ruilin her grandfather kept mentioning.

What kind of person could make her grandfather praise him so highly?

He was even capable of resolving the toxins in her grandfather's body.

Ever since Ning Fengzhi learned that Ning Rongrong and the others had returned, he had immediately set aside his work and waited at the main gate early on.

When he saw that familiar figure, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Daddy!"

Ning Rongrong had never been away from Ning Fengzhi for so long before.

The moment she appeared, the young girl rushed directly toward Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi hurriedly opened his arms and pulled the young girl into his embrace.

"How did you feel about your trip to the Sunset Forest? What is your First Soul Ring?"

After rubbing Ning Rongrong's head and confirming that the young girl was perfectly fine, Ning Fengzhi spoke slowly.

"Daddy, my First Soul Ring is a 400-year-old Ginseng Baby."

A cunning look appeared on the little girl's face as she stared at Ning Fengzhi with anticipation.

She believed that if her father knew which soul beast she had hunted for her First Soul Ring, he would surely show a look of shock.

Upon hearing the name of the soul beast, Ginseng Baby, Ning Fengzhi was indeed taken aback, then looked toward Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo as they walked in.

The two Titled Douluo nodded in unison.

After digesting this information, a look of wild joy appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face.

He naturally knew the value of the Ginseng Baby soul beast.

It could be said that there was no soul beast more suitable for an auxiliary-type soul master than this one.

"Truly excellent!"

Ning Fengzhi affectionately stroked his daughter's little cheek, his eyes filled with pride.
