"Rest assured, Young Master Qin. I will absolutely not let that scumbag get his way!"

"I am going back to find my grandfather right now and tell him everything!"

Dugu Yan bit her lip, looking at Qin Feng with a hint of gratitude.

"I cannot repay Young Master Qin for saving my life. As long as you can save my grandfather, I, Yanzi, will not hesitate to do whatever you command in the future."

After speaking, she glanced at Qin Feng with a blush, then hurried away as if afraid he might see through her thoughts.

Qin Feng shrugged noncommittally, offering no reply.

Outside Heaven Dou City, in a quiet courtyard nestled within a valley.

Emerald-green mist permeated the valley, and the surrounding vegetation had taken on an eerie purple hue under the erosion of this vapor.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound echoed through the valley.

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo stood before a massive medicine cauldron, his expression somber.

He had just finished teaching that group from Shrek a lesson at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Although it had vented some of his anger, he still felt unsettled when he recalled the words that boy named Tang San had spoken before leaving.

"A wet-behind-the-ears brat, daring to boast that he can cure this old man's Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison?"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly, pacing the medicine garden in agitation.

Just then, Dugu Yan rushed in, looking frantic.

"Grandfather! Something terrible has happened!"

There was a rare urgency in Dugu Yan's voice.

Seeing his precious granddaughter return, Dugu Bo's somber expression softened instantly, and he smiled with doting affection.

"Yanzi, what happened? You look so anxious. Did that brat Yu Tianheng bully you? Tell Grandfather, and I'll go skin him alive!"

Dugu Yan ran up to Dugu Bo, panting, and grabbed his arm.

"It's not Tianheng! Grandfather, we're being targeted. Someone wants to steal our treasures and take our lives!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo's gaze darkened.

As a Title Douluo, there were very few people in Heaven Dou City who would dare threaten his life.

"Hmph, who is so bold? Yanzi, who did you hear this from?"

Dugu Yan hurriedly recounted everything she had seen in the Chat Group and every detail of her meeting with Qin Feng at the East Palace today.

"Grandfather, that Young Master Qin saw through the symptoms of the poison in my body at a single glance. He even described exactly when and where I usually feel pain with perfect clarity!"

"He also said that Tang San from Shrek will eventually use the pretext of curing you to enter our medicine garden in the Sunset Forest, steal all the immortal herbs inside, and even use those herbs to help people like Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun from Shrek improve their strength!"

"Finally... he intends to seize our Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for himself, turning our Dugu family into his stepping stone!"

After hearing Dugu Yan's words, Dugu Bo stood frozen in place, completely stunned.

His initial indifference had been replaced by shock.

He stared at Dugu Yan, his voice trembling slightly.

"Yanzi, did you just say... that Qin Feng knows we have a medicine garden in the Sunset Forest?"

"And he even knows about... the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"

A storm raged in Dugu Bo's heart.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was a treasure of heaven and earth and his greatest secret; even Prince Xue Xing did not know the specifics.

How could that youth named Qin Feng possibly know these things?

Furthermore, would that brat named Tang San really be shameless enough to use the guise of detoxification to plunder his immortal herbs and sacred ground?

Dugu Bo paced back and forth on the clearing surrounded by herbs, his aged face flickering with uncertainty.

"Grandfather, what Young Master Qin said cannot possibly be false. He described every detail of my poisoning perfectly; this is not something he could have learned from mere hearsay."

Dugu Yan tugged on the old man's sleeve, her usually haughty eyes filled with worry.

Dugu Bo stopped and brushed his sleeves in irritation.

"Yanzi, the implications of this are too great. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is the greatest secret of my life. Even Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou royal family only knows this as a medicine garden; he has no idea of the spring's origin. How could a wet-behind-the-ears brat know about it?"

The old man's voice was deep, and the doubt in his eyes would not fade.

To him, this matter was simply too absurd, even shocking.

"But what if it's true? If that Tang San really comes to rob our garden, what will you do, Grandfather?"

Dugu Yan stomped her foot, refusing to let it go.

Dugu Bo sighed. Although he was shaken, his dignity as a Title Douluo prevented him from easily believing a young man's assertions.

"Seeing is believing. I have roamed the Douluo Continent for so many years, and I have never been scared off by the words of a junior. Since you believe he has heaven-defying abilities, I will go and personally probe his background today. If he is merely a charlatan, I will make sure he learns the price of deceiving Dugu Bo!"

As his voice fell, Dugu Bo grabbed Dugu Yan's shoulder, his figure instantly transforming into a beam of emerald light as he sped toward Heaven Dou City.

Heaven Dou City, East Palace residence.

Qin Feng remained composed, sitting in that luxurious sandalwood chair, having replaced his spiritual tea with a fresh cup that was currently emitting wisps of steam.

As soon as the words fell, a sharp whistling sound suddenly tore through the air above the courtyard.

A somewhat sinister, emerald-green figure appeared abruptly in the open space at the center of the courtyard, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold.

Dugu Bo landed steadily with Dugu Yan, his gaze locking onto Qin Feng, who was sitting in the pavilion, the moment his feet touched the ground.

"You are Qin Feng?"

Dugu Bo stepped forward, his aged face etched with arrogance and scrutiny.

He had no intention of wasting words; he stomped his foot, and a massive pressure, unique to a Titled Douluo, descended upon Qin Feng in the pavilion like an invisible mountain.

Under the weight of this soul power, the marble-paved ground actually began to crack under the unbearable strain.

"Grandfather, stop this at once!"

Dugu Yan was startled and tugged at Dugu Bo's arm in a panic.

However, Dugu Bo remained unmoved; he simply wanted to see if this young man, whom his granddaughter had praised to the heavens, could maintain his composure under thirty percent of his soul power pressure.

Facing an oppressive force that would have made an ordinary Soul Ancestor kneel on the spot, no trace of panic appeared on Qin Feng's face.

The youth stood up slowly, his clothes not even showing a single wrinkle.

A deafening dragon's roar suddenly exploded within the courtyard, intermingled with a high-pitched, brilliant phoenix cry.

Two dazzling beams of light, one gold and one blue, surged wildly from Qin Feng's body, tearing Dugu Bo's soul power pressure to shreds.
