After the treatment finished, Lu Chen shouted toward the doorway:
"Brother Dugu, the poison has already been resolved."
Hearing this voice, Dugu Bo, who had already been extremely anxious outside the door, returned to the classroom impatiently.
He stepped forward quickly with a heart full of distress, supported Dugu Yan up from the ground, and asked with concern:
"Yanyan, how do you feel? Has the Jade Scale Snake Poison in your body been neutralized?"
Dugu Yan breathed lightly. Supported by Dugu Bo, she wobbled and stood up straight:
"Grandfather, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul poison has been neutralized, only..."
Regarding what Dugu Yan experienced during the process of treating the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul poison and her inner psychological changes, Dugu Yan found it truly somewhat hard to articulate.
Dugu Bo did not care about other things. He said with a relieved expression:
"Good. As long as the snake poison is neutralized, a little pain can be endured and passed."
"Yanyan, what makes me happiest right now is that I never have to worry about you being in mortal danger again."
"In this life of mine, I have already experienced an old person sending off a young person once. If I were to experience it again, I wouldn't dare imagine how crazy I would become."
Hearing Dugu Bo mention these things also touched Dugu Yan deeply.
She lost her parents when she was very young.
Her father ultimately passed away due to the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul poison, and her mother followed her father shortly after.
She originally thought her future would be just like her father's.
On a certain day, she would pass away due to the backlash of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul poison.
Now it was good. The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul poison in her body had been neutralized.
Her destiny had been truly changed!
Although she felt ashamed and reluctant to speak of her inner psychological changes, Dugu Yan still thanked Lu Chen gratefully:
"Grandfather Lan Chen, thank you so much!"
Lu Chen nodded with a smile. Although being called grandfather felt a little strange, after hearing it often, he had also gotten more or less used to it.
Then he said with a solemn expression:
"Yanyan, the toxic poison in your body is now almost completely neutralized."
"But I heard from Brother Dugu that your poison comes from the poison of your Martial Soul. As long as you continue to cultivate the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, I am afraid this poison will make a comeback sooner or later."
"I don't have a good way to solve this problem once and for all either. The only plan for now is that every once in a while, I will help you clear out the toxic poison in your body."
"Although it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, it is enough to ensure you have no worries for your lives."
Of course, Lu Chen did not really have no way.
He wanted to tell Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan that your crisis is not completely resolved. If you want to keep living stably, you must rely on me.
Lu Chen's actions were indeed not all that upright and aboveboard.
Yet he had to do this.
Be the villain first, then the gentleman!
After all, he had not known Dugu Bo for many days. To prevent Dugu Bo from tearing down the bridge after crossing the river and turning hostile without recognizing people,
he had to ensure that he always had value to Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
Once their friendship grew deeper in the future, he would naturally help Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan solve this problem once and for all.
Under Lu Chen's reminder, Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan also realized this problem.
That's right, the toxic poison they contracted did not come from the outside, but from the inside.
It came from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul they cultivated!
As long as they continued to cultivate the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, the toxic poison would continue to erode their bodies. This was fundamentally an unsolvable problem.
At this thought, the look in Dugu Bo's eyes toward Lu Chen changed. He realized that if he and his granddaughter wanted to live stably in the future, they would have to keep relying on Lu Chen.
Dugu Bo laughed heartily and boisterously:
"Haha, this is already very good. At least our grandfather and granddaughter won't have to suffer from the torment of the toxic poison anymore."
"Brother Lan Chen, I won't say much of those words of gratitude. You detoxified my granddaughter and are also going to neutralize the toxic poison for me. From now on, you are the guest of honor of our Dugu Family."
"This kindness will never be forgotten for all generations. If there is any need in the future, whatever I, Dugu Bo, can do, I will definitely do."
"Today is a happy day. To celebrate Yanyan's successful detoxification, I will reserve a table of banquets at Dingxiang Restaurant, and the two of us brothers will have a good drink and not stop until we are drunk."
Seeing that his plan succeeded, Lu Chen was also extremely happy and replied with a smile:
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. In the future, whenever I trouble Brother Dugu, I still ask Brother Dugu for a lot of assistance."
"Today I will definitely accompany Brother Dugu to drink to our heart's content."
Subsequently, Lu Chen, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy together.
They headed to Dingxiang Restaurant in Heaven Dou City!
This was the most prosperous restaurant in Heaven Dou City. Dugu Bo opened a private room, ordered a table of top-grade wine and dishes, and pulled Lu Chen to eat and drink together, creating an extremely harmonious atmosphere.
At the dining table, Dugu Yan seemed somewhat curious about Lu Chen, constantly asking this and that, wanting to know about his past.
Naturally, Lu Chen would not tell the truth, otherwise what meaning would the disguise he made have!
Yet he did not want to tell falsehoods either, since fabricated falsehoods always had flaws. In response to this, he always responded in silence.
Whenever Dugu Yan asked, Lu Chen would let out a slight sigh and then reveal a complex expression, leaving everything to the imaginations of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan themselves.
An image of someone who was talented and of peerless aptitude, yet suffered jealousy and suppression, and thus had to hide his name and live incognito, was deeply engraved into the minds of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
This wine was drunk until evening. Lu Chen followed the grandfather and granddaughter Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan and returned to Dugu Mansion, staying right there.
Meanwhile!
The three education committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy-Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin-wrote a complete report about today's events, signed their three names on it, and delivered it to Xue Ye's desk at the very first moment.
Out of his regard for the three education committee members, Xue Ye did not delay either, opening the report and reading it right then and there.
After finishing it, Xue Ye gave a faceless and expressionless sigh:
"This Sect Master Ning has actually suppressed dissidents to this extent. A Spirit Emperor who broke through to rank-69 soul power around the age of thirty was actually forced to the point of changing his face and hiding his name."
"I remember that in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Qin Ming, who is hailed as the second youngest Spirit Emperor on the mainland, only broke through to rank-60 soul power around the age of thirty. Lan Chen's talent surpasses Qin Ming."
"Such a genius figure must be utilized by our Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Hmm... leave it to Qinghe to handle. He is Sect Master Ning's disciple, have him mediate between Sect Master Ning and Lan Chen."
"For the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou to personally step forward to resolve the conflict and mediate the friction for that Lan Chen can also be considered giving Lan Chen plenty of face."
As his voice fell, Xue Ye sent people to deliver this report overnight to the Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's mansion, believing that Xue Qinghe could understand his intentions.
Crown Prince Mansion!
After reading this report, Xue Qinghe also revealed a look of astonishment:
"Around the age of thirty, to have rank-69 soul power-this means that as long as Lan Chen does not fall, he will definitely be able to become a support-type Title Douluo in the future. This is enough to shake the status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as the mainland's number one auxiliary Martial Soul."
"Tsk tsk, such talent is truly astonishing. No wonder that teacher of mine forced Lan Chen to the point of changing his face and hiding his name."
"Such a genius figure ought to be utilized by Gu. It seems I must make a trip to Dugu Mansion tomorrow. Right, I must also invite Teacher to come over, since it is after all to mediate the conflict between Lan Chen and him!"
Lu Chen would absolute never have imagined that the disguise he made back then would keep developing under the brain-supplementation of the three education committee members to the point it had reached today, with the misunderstanding growing deeper and deeper...
