Meeting, Coming to Help You Detoxify

The round-faced junior student hurried over and said:

"Senior, a distant great-uncle of yours is looking for you. He said his name is Dugu Qiubai and that he's your mother's distant cousin, so he counts as your great-uncle."

"Um... hurry and come with me, he's been waiting at the academy gate for a long time."

Dugu Yan: ???

Dugu Bo: ???

The grandfather and granddaughter stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Dugu Yan asked, looking completely bewildered, "Grandfather, do I have a great-uncle named Dugu Qiubai?"

"Uh." Dugu Bo scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "As for your mother's side of the family, I'm not entirely sure, but why does this person have the same surname as us?"

Ye Lingling tugged at Dugu Yan from the side and gave her a look.

Dugu Yan's expression stiffened instantly. She looked at the round-faced student and asked, "Is that person a man or a woman, how old are they, and what do they look like?"

"Cough, cough."

Ye Lingling choked on her own breath.

Big sister! The man claims to be your great-uncle, take a wild guess if he's a man or a woman?

Hearing Dugu Yan's question, the round-faced girl recalled Su Chen's appearance, and a faint blush crept onto her cheeks. "A man, a little older than us, and very, very handsome!"

Oh no!

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's expressions changed simultaneously. It wasn't hard to guess from the contents of the diary that the Su Chen capable of turning Hu Liena into a lovesick fool would naturally be very, very handsome!

So, the person outside was him.

What now?

Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling with some nervousness. She had been quite confident before, but after reading about the transmigrator today, she felt a bit unsure.

Dugu Bo asked from the side:

"Yan, is there something wrong with this person?"

"No, nothing."

Dugu Yan said hurriedly, "Grandfather, we're going out to see him in a moment. You must remember to listen to me and not get on his bad side, otherwise... I won't talk to you anymore."

Dugu Bo nodded slightly, though he felt a bit strange inside. It felt as if the only reason he'd been called over by his granddaughter today was because of this person.

The group walked toward the academy gate. They happened to run into Yu Tianheng, who greeted them happily:

"Yanzi, are you all heading out?"

Dugu Yan glanced at Yu Tianheng. She was in a bad mood and couldn't be bothered to talk to him, so she just gave a slight nod.

Yu Tianheng felt a bit disappointed, but he hurried to follow them and asked, "Yanzi, are you not feeling well today?"

Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng and frowned. "It's none of your business. I'm in a bad mood today, so don't bother me."

At this point, Yu Tianheng was merely a suitor of Dugu Yan, so this was the perfect time for him to prove himself. He didn't show any dissatisfaction; instead, he followed along, trying to find an opportunity to curry favor with her.

Dugu Bo merely glanced at Yu Tianheng indifferently and said nothing.

At the academy gate.

Su Chen saw the group approaching from a distance: the exotic, purple-haired beauty Dugu Yan, the ethereal beauty Ye Lingling, and the green-clad Dugu Bo. This was truly an unexpected delight!

Since Dugu Bo was here, there was no need to wait for Dugu Yan to call for backup.

The problem could be solved today.

And then there was Ye Lingling—short silver hair, stunning looks, a cold-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside personality, and the Nine Heart Begonia spirit.

Regardless of how many spirit rings she had, she only possessed one skill: complete healing, and it was an area-of-effect heal for everyone.

If he could trick her into coming home as his personal doctor and have her wear a custom-made nurse's uniform, that would be absolutely perfect.

At the same time.

While Su Chen was busy sizing them up, the group was also focusing their attention on him, instantly recognizing him as Dugu Yan's great-uncle.

Dugu Bo felt a bit strange. The young man before him had an extraordinary appearance and temperament, yet his spirit power was only at level seventeen. His confident and easygoing air didn't seem like something he was just putting on. How odd!

Ye Lingling felt a bit pleasantly surprised. Wow! This Su Chen really is handsome. No wonder Hu Liena from Spirit Hall turned into a lovesick fool.

She just didn't know why he insisted on beating up Yanzi. If he didn't, they could have all been friends.

Dugu Yan, however, was seething with hatred. Damn bastard Su Chen, I've finally met you today. Even if you are handsome, you are just too detestable.

This is my first time seeing you, yet you write about wanting to beat me up in your diary every single day. What kind of grudge do you have against me?

Su Chen raised a hand in greeting:

"Hello everyone. It's been so many years, Yanzi, you've grown so much. And Brother Dugu Bo is already a Titled Douluo."

"Truly, congratulations!"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan nearly ground her teeth to dust.

Damn it!

Are you a fleshlight? How are you so good at acting full of yourself!

Dugu Bo's expression turned ugly as he said, "Kid, since you know I am a Title Douluo, yet you still dare to impersonate my relative, it seems you are tired of living."

Su Chen looked awkward, then said with a sincere expression, "I am very sorry for using such a method to lure you out, but otherwise, you certainly wouldn't have paid any attention to a nobody like me."

"Let me introduce myself: My name is Su Chen, and I am a prophet. I have foreseen that both you and your granddaughter are suffering from a severe poison and do not have long to live, so I have come specifically to help you detoxify."

Dugu Yan instantly flared up: "You... Su Chen, don't go too far. What exactly is your goal? I'm warning you! With my grandfather here, if you dare to harm us, you are dead meat."

Dugu Bo's brows turned cold as he stared fixedly at Su Chen and asked, "Kid, what did you just say?"

Su Chen hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Yanzi, calm down."

"I am someone who dislikes fighting and killing the most. I said that both you and your granddaughter are poisoned, and Senior Dugu knows this in his heart. That is why I want to make a deal with you."

Dugu Yan felt a bit suspicious and turned to look at Ye Lingling, who gave a slight nod in response.

It seemed...

At the very beginning, Su Chen had written in his diary that beating Dugu Yan was only to lure out Dugu Bo, and the ultimate goal was some sort of "mowing the grass"???

Now that Dugu Bo was here, that step should be skippable!

Dugu Bo naturally understood the situation, but he did not trust Su Chen. After all, even he, a Title Douluo, could do nothing about the toxins in his own body; what could a level 17 Spirit Master like Su Chen possibly do?

"Speak. Who exactly are you, who sent you, and what is your purpose? If you cannot be honest today, this old man will not spare you."

Su Chen smiled and said, "This is not the place to talk. Besides, before discussing business, we can't avoid a friendly spar. Shall we change locations and chat while we eat?"

As he spoke, Su Chen shifted his gaze to Ye Lingling and invited her like a gentleman, "Beautiful Miss Ye Lingling, I actually wanted to talk to you as well. Would you do me the honor of joining us for a meal?"

Su Chen's dashing, unrestrained, and elegant demeanor seemed like a form of contempt for their strength, which made Dugu Bo and the others feel extremely displeased!

You are a level 17 Spirit Master, how dare you?

Who gave you the courage!

Dugu Bo's face was gloomy as he said coldly, "Eating together is fine, but at the very least, you must let this old man see that you have the qualifications to do so!"
