Old Man! I've Got My Eye on Su Li! I Want Him!

Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and he nearly choked to death on his tea.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Why did this girl suddenly want to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Hiss... That made no sense.

Could it be that her little sweetheart was from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, turned around, and seriously looked at his clever, mischievous granddaughter behind him.

"Yanzi, tell Grandpa the truth. Why do you want to go there?"

"Don't you know that your grandpa only wants to live in seclusion and stay out of the continent's power struggles?"

"With my particular circumstances, if I joined some faction, what would its enemies think?"

Dugu Yan pouted in disappointment. She knew her grandfather's strength. He might not be able to defeat even one Titled Douluo.

But he could kill everyone below that rank.

If he remained neutral and lived in seclusion, naturally no one would come looking for trouble with him.

"Fine, Grandpa, I understand."

"I was being too willful."

Dugu Yan knew this was no trivial matter. She could not make things difficult for her grandfather just for her own selfish desires.

Phew~

How nice would it be if she could lure Su Li to Heaven Dou Royal Academy?

Then she could thoroughly rub his little head every day when they went to and from school.

Hold him in her arms and bully him a little.

But that was ultimately just a fantasy.

Seeing the disappointment all over his precious granddaughter's face, Dugu Bo could not bear it for a moment and wanted to comfort her.

But when the words reached his lips, he did not know what to say.

In truth, the most important reason he had never joined any faction was because of Dugu Yan.

She was his only descendant. Naturally, he hoped she would grow up safely and never become a target for other powerful people.

If she could give him a reasonable reason to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, perhaps it was not impossible for him to agree.

After all.

Ning Fengzhi was the current crown prince's teacher.

And he himself could be considered a guest elder of the Tiandou Imperial Family.

For his granddaughter, it was not impossible.

"Yanzi, tell me, why do you insist on..."

"Stop! Grandpa, don't say anything yet."

Dugu Yan looked somewhat excited. She hurriedly sat cross-legged and began circulating her Soul Power.

Very soon.

Under Dugu Bo's watchful gaze, she broke through.

"Grandpa! I'm level 26!"

The purple-haired girl excitedly rose to her feet, her eyes filled with intense surprise.

After all.

It had only been two months since she broke through level 25.

By all reason.

The earliest she could possibly reach level 26 should have been a month later.

Yet she had broken through ahead of time?

What was going on?

Dugu Bo blinked and stroked his beard in surprise.

"Impossible... Yanzi, did you secretly eat the herbs in my garden recently?"

His expression turned solemn.

The only explanation for Dugu Yan's abnormal breakthrough was that she had eaten those herbs that even he did not understand.

"No! Why would I go looking for death?"

The girl shook her head. Her dazzling eyes were now shining brightly.

She seemed to understand what had happened.

When she touched Su Li's head back then, she had felt warm all over, as if even her soul had become much more comfortable.

Thinking back on it now, her Soul Power absorption and conversion speed had instantly increased by more than a hundredfold!

Heavens!

She had not expected that petting her little husband would have such miraculous effects!

What was she supposed to do if she liked him even more now?

No.

She absolutely could not let Ning Rongrong have this all to herself!

"Grandpa! I'll tell you everything!"

"I've fallen in love with Su Li from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"I won't marry anyone but him in this life!"

Dugu Yan looked at him proudly, hands on her hips, and said it with complete openness.

Crack!

It felt as if a piece of Dugu Bo's heart had shattered. He did not know why.

He fell silent.

His emotions were tangled and complicated.

In the end.

Only after drinking several cups of tea did he slowly let out a breath.

His voice was slightly helpless as he said,

"Fine... Tell Grandpa, what kind of person is he?"

"Uh... He's quite good-looking and cute... His talent is also very strong. He seems to have Innate Full Soul Power!"

"Hmm? Not bad, you have good taste... What level is he now?"

"Uh..." Dugu Yan's pretty face reddened. She lowered her head shyly, pursed her lips, and did not dare answer.

Dugu Bo noticed his granddaughter's embarrassment and thought she was feeling inferior. He helplessly smiled. "Don't worry. You're my granddaughter. Even if his talent is higher, he wouldn't reject my goodwill, would he?"

"Is he already a Soul Elder? Could he be seven or eight levels above you?"

Dugu Yan's face became even redder as she stammered, "He should... should have just absorbed his first soul ring..."

"Oh, he absorbed a soul ring... So he's a Soul Elder?"

"Grandpa, his first soul ring."

"What?!"

Dugu Bo nearly passed out from the shock as he stared at his granddaughter in astonishment.

In other words, that brat had only just awakened his martial soul!

How could this girl...

Oh dear!

If this got out, they would get fried!

Dugu Bo pressed a hand to his chest and looked at her seriously.

"Yanzi, we don't do illegal things..."

"Tch~ Grandpa, as if you haven't done plenty?"

"???"

"Old man! Let me make this clear today! I'm going to find him and see him! He may still be young, but I can raise him as a little brother first!"

Dugu Yan puffed out her cheeks, looking as though he had no choice but to make it happen.

The room instantly became much quieter.

The two stared wide-eyed at each other.

The atmosphere was somewhat strange.

Dugu Bo silently felt sorry for Su Li for half a second.

Sigh~

He was just a child who had awakened his martial soul. How had Yanzi set her sights on him?

Forget it, forget it.

Young people's affairs should be handled by young people.

A genius with Innate Full Soul Power.

Come to think of it, if Yanzi could be together with him, that would be quite nice.

It was just that.

Joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still required careful consideration.

However... he could pay them a visit and have Su Li attend classes at Heaven Dou Royal Academy first.

That way.

The two of them could foster their feelings.

But... would Ning Fengzhi agree?

He had a daughter who would likely marry that Innate Full Soul Power genius in the future as well.

He would not simply hand the boy over, would he?

But then again, in this world, the strong were respected.

A capable man having three wives and four concubines was not a problem.

He just did not know whether Yanzi could accept it.

"What a headache. Of all people to like, she had to fall for a child who had just awakened his martial soul..."

"Is my lifelong reputation, Dugu Bo's reputation, going to be ruined in one day?"

"Yanzi, go out first. I want some peace and quiet."

Dugu Yan curled her lips, gave a soft snort, and swung her braid as she left.

Her steps were steady and forceful, as if victory was already hers.

Her grandfather had always agreed to whatever she asked for.

Hehe~

After all, the old man only had one child: her~

"Don't worry, Grandpa. Su Li will be amazing in the future. He definitely won't disappoint you."

"Ten years from now! You may even be grateful for what I said!"

Dugu Yan hummed a little tune and happily ran outside.

At that moment, it was as if she had gained the whole world.

As for someone's pursuit of her, she had long since forgotten it completely.
