You wouldn't want your granddaughter to get into trouble, would you

As soon as Dugu Bo spoke, Dugu Yan became instantly nervous and hurriedly shouted:

"Grandfather, let's just go eat. We haven't eaten yet either, and it's nothing major, so... let's not have any more tests."

Although Dugu Yan was unruly and headstrong, she still had her wits about her and did not want to provoke Su Chen.

Dugu Bo glanced at Dugu Yan and nodded slightly, just about to speak, when the bystander Yu Tianheng following them hurriedly shouted:

"Wait."

"Senior Dugu, this person appeared out of nowhere, impersonated an elder of Yanzi to take advantage, and now his attitude is still this arrogant. I am willing to step in and test his strength."

Out of kindness, Ye Lingling tried to dissuade him:

"Captain, why don't you just let it go?"

The man had come specifically for the Titled Douluo Dugu Bo; wasn't he just asking for a beating?

Yu Tianheng sneered:

"A level 17 Spirit Master, spouting such nonsense here. If I don't teach him a lesson today, will people really think that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come to our Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Su Chen looked Yu Tianheng up and down and retorted directly:

"You, this piece of trash from the Blue Tyrant Clan, want to represent the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

"Oh, right, don't misunderstand! I'm not targeting you specifically; I'm saying that everyone from your Blue Tyrant Clan is trash, so..."

As he said this, Su Chen raised his hand and unleashed a "Cloud-Rowing Palm." The giant palm, the size of a carriage, sent Yu Tianheng flying dozens of meters away.

"So, trash belongs in the trash heap."

The level 37 captain, Yu Tianheng, had been sent flying by a single palm. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were so shocked they covered their small mouths, their respect for Su Chen deepening in their hearts.

Dugu Bo's expression also turned ugly. An instant-cast self-created spirit skill, and with such immense power.

Terrifying!

This youth's confidence truly stemmed from his strength. This strike was powerful, yet it had been delivered casually; it seemed his strength was not to be underestimated.

Su Chen looked at the stunned, pretty faces of Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling and said calmly:

"Want to learn?"

"I can teach you!"

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were stunned, looking at Su Chen together as they asked:

"We can learn?"

"You can teach us this spirit skill?"

Su Chen smiled and nodded: "Of course. Let's go eat, and we can talk while we eat."

Yu Tianheng climbed up from the ground, watched the group walk away, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and gritted his teeth:

"Bastard! You just wait."

Not long after, the group arrived at a restaurant. Su Chen ordered a few dishes at random and handed the menu to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan picked a few items, then fixed her gaze on Su Chen, the emotions in her eyes quite complex.

Ye Lingling also stole glances at Su Chen from time to time, feeling curious.

Wasn't he looking for Yanzi and Grandpa Dugu?

Why did he bring her along? What did he mean earlier about wanting to talk to her, and calling her a beautiful young lady... Could it be that he had taken a liking to her?

Dugu Bo's expression was grave as he said to Su Chen with complete seriousness: "Now, you can state your purpose."

Su Chen recalled the details and said:

"Every time it is overcast or raining, you feel a numbing itch in your ribs that gradually intensifies, lasting for over an hour, occurring once at noon and once at midnight."

"Every deep night, around the third watch, you experience needle-like stabs in the crown of your head and the soles of your feet, with your whole body convulsing for at least half an hour."

"These are the backlashes of the Jade Phosphorus Snake Poison. Your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is even worse off; it's just less obvious now because her strength is low and she is young."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's face was filled with astonishment. Everything Su Chen said was spot on!

How was this possible?

This was something only he knew. How on earth did this person know?

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had complex expressions, feeling helpless in their hearts. So, this was the power of a transmigrator?

Seeing the other party stunned, Su Chen continued: "I can help you detoxify, and I can help your granddaughter detoxify. In return, I want all the immortal herbs in your Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"Senior Dugu Bo, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your granddaughter, would you?"

"You..."

Dugu Bo was even more shocked.

Not only did this person know him like the back of his hand, but he also knew his secret treasure ground like the back of his hand!

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling understood in an instant. So, this Su Chen had come from Spirit City, claiming he wanted to beat up Yanzi, all for this purpose!

Dugu Yan clenched her fists in anger. You damn bastard! You could have just stated your purpose earlier; you made me worry and fear for two whole days!

"Do you have any idea how I've spent these past two days?"

"Hmph!"

Dugu Yan let out a cold snort and said, "Who knows if you're actually capable of curing the poison, or if you're just trying to swindle us out of the immortal herbs in our family's treasure land."

A question suddenly occurred to Ye Lingling: this Su Chen didn't seem simple, nor was he a fool. His true purpose for this trip had never been revealed in his diary before.

Could it be that he had guessed something?

Dugu Bo scrutinized Su Chen from head to toe, but he couldn't find any flaws in his demeanor. With a complex look in his eyes, he said:

"There are many immortal herbs in that place. Can you leave some for me?"

"The condition is that you must help us cure the poison first."

Dugu Bo didn't actually recognize most of the immortal herbs inside; he just wanted to keep a few of the poisonous ones he did know for his own use.

Su Chen thought for a moment and replied:

"I can leave one for you and one for your granddaughter to use. I'm taking everything else."

"As for the cure, I will definitely help you with that first. Of course, before I do, we should spar a little. I need to make sure you don't think I'm weak and decide to burn the bridge after crossing it."

Dugu Bo nodded upon hearing this and said:

"Very well."

"You're a direct lad, which suits my taste. I won't beat around the bush either: as long as you can cure the poison in Yan'er and me, the immortal herbs are all yours."

Su Chen wasn't surprised by Dugu Bo's straightforward agreement; in the original story, Tang San had also cleaned the place out after curing them.

"Pleasure doing business with you!"

Su Chen raised his wine glass.

Dugu Bo took a sip and asked, "I'm curious, what kind of soul power did you use when you attacked that boy from the Yu family?"

"And why do you know so much about me? You came specifically for me."

Su Chen drained his glass and replied, "As for that soul power, you'll understand once I treat your injuries later."

"As for the rest, didn't I tell you? I am a prophet. I know everything that has happened on this continent for the past tens of thousands of years."

"Of course, since our negotiations went so smoothly, I'll give you a piece of advice: don't associate with anyone surnamed Tang in the future, or you will die."

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Dugu Yan, however, turned pale instantly.

Damn it!

Could that Tang fellow be another transmigrator, Tang San?

My grandfather is going to die because of him? No! I must find a way to change this. I absolutely cannot let anything happen to my grandfather.

Just as Dugu Yan was about to speak, Ye Lingling gently squeezed her hand and shook her head slightly, signaling her not to say anything reckless. After all, Dugu Bo didn't have a diary!

Dugu Yan felt stifled, so she looked at Su Chen and asked, "Before you came, you said you wanted to talk to Lingling. I wonder what it is you wish to discuss with her?"
