Let My Sister Get Engaged to Qian Renxue!

"Eh? Hahaha~~~"

Suddenly, Dugu Lin seemed to have figured something out and burst into laughter, completely failing to notice that Dugu Bo was still moved by the side.

"What is it?"

Dugu Bo hurriedly asked.

Dugu Lin laughed. "Grandpa, look. Qian Renxue is a woman, right?"

"Mm."

"But no one else knows she's a woman, right?"

"Mm. And then?"

"Hehe~~ Grandpa, how about having Sister get engaged to Qian Renxue!"

"Pfft—cough, cough, cough~~" Dugu Bo choked on a mouthful of saliva and coughed repeatedly.

Dugu Lin excitedly explained on his own, "First of all, Grandpa, you're Poison Douluo. Although you're the weakest among the Title Douluo, the only enemies you can fight are Title Douluo! Right?"

"Uh..."

Dugu Bo took back his emotion. This grandson had actually said he was the weakest Title Douluo? This brat needed a beating!

Dugu Lin continued, "Although Qian Renxue is Spirit Hall's little princess, far beyond our reach! Her current identity is merely the eldest prince of an empire—the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, which does not even have a Title Douluo. She isn't even the crown prince yet! If she wants to obtain the position of crown prince through normal means, she'll definitely extend an olive branch to us!"

That was indeed the case. It was just that Qian Renxue ultimately did not seek out Dugu Bo, who was close to Prince Xue Xing, but instead chose Ning Fengzhi as someone to win over.

Furthermore, Dugu Lin could not figure out why neither of the two great empires had even a single Title Douluo, no matter how hard he racked his brain.

If he had to force an explanation, Dugu Lin suspected that whenever a genius emerged in either empire, Spirit Hall would arrange an assassination!

In the future, Bibi Dong had dared to openly intercept and kill Tang San. It was clear that Spirit Hall had done plenty of such things before.

Dugu Lin grinned broadly. "If Spirit Hall's little princess gets engaged to Sister, she can obtain your full support, which will help her seize the position of crown prince quickly! Then we can propose that she only marries Sister after Sister reaches rank sixty. The point is to drag things out and avoid getting married! She also wants to delay the marriage, since she can't possibly marry a woman! This move strikes straight at Qian Renxue's heart. There's no way she'll refuse!"

After a pause, a crafty smile appeared on Dugu Lin's face. "As for the betrothal gifts~~ hehe~~ It isn't too much to ask for two high-quality Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, right? And Chrysanthemum Douluo's Immortal Herb Catalogue—wouldn't that be easy to get?"

"Kehehehe~~ Grandpa, this plan is practically the perfect way to get something for nothing!"

Dugu Lin felt that this idea was simply brilliant. He truly was a genius!

Dugu Bo was dumbfounded. Blinking his bewildered eyes, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his grandson made sense!

Then... should Yan'er be the one to make a sacrifice?

Immediately afterward, Dugu Lin suddenly frowned. "Grandpa, there's another problem. Why did Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan come to study at Heaven Dou Royal Academy instead of Thunderclap Academy or Blue Tyrant Academy, which his aunt Liu Erlong runs? Is studying really his true purpose?"

Dugu Bo frowned gravely and pondered, "Lin'er, what do you mean? And whose aunt is Liu Erlong of Blue Tyrant Academy?"

Dugu Lin first explained the relationship between Liu Erlong and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, then continued his speculation. "Could there be a scheme by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind this? Could their purpose be to win over you, a Title Douluo?"

Dugu Bo furrowed his brows deeply. This truly required careful consideration. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed!

The granddaughter of a Title Douluo truly was a treasure!

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, Dugu Bo was the only unaffiliated Title Douluo in the open. His granddaughter was absolutely a treasure!

"Hah~ It seems Yan'er really will have to make a sacrifice!" Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes dangerously. In order to cut off everyone's thoughts, he had already made up his mind to arrange his granddaughter's engagement early.

That night.

"What? You want me to get engaged to Qian Renxue?" Dugu Yan was utterly stunned, wasn't she?

How had her younger brother and grandfather decided the most important matter of her marriage after she had only been away from home for one day? And she was even being engaged to a woman!

Dugu Bo gave Dugu Lin a look, meaning: You explain it.

"Cough, cough~~ Sister, this is how it is!"

"How is it?" Dugu Yan pouted, folding her arms across her chest, her little face filled with reluctance.

"Today, Grandpa and I discussed many things. We believe that Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was sent by his clan to Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Their purpose is to get close to you and win your favor, thereby winning over Grandpa, a Title Douluo."

"Ah?"

Dugu Yan opened her little mouth wide, unable to process it. Why were relationships between people so complicated? Couldn't there be a little more sincerity?

Dugu Lin continued persuading her, "That's why we think it's easy to dodge an open spear but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. It would be better for you to get engaged to Qian Renxue—that is, Xue Qinghe, the current eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"First, we can make Qian Renxue bleed a little and hand over some soul bones. She's Spirit Hall's young master, after all—she's loaded!"

"Second, it can cut off the thoughts of those people outside and keep them from setting their sights on you."

"Third... as long as you don't marry her before you turn twenty-seven, Qian Renxue's identity will be exposed, and the engagement will naturally be dissolved. That means we'll gain everything without spending anything!"

"There are so many benefits, Sister!"

Dugu Lin tried his utmost to persuade her, yet he had never once considered exposing Qian Renxue's identity. He even intended to help her seize the Heaven Dou Empire!

"I... I..." Dugu Yan blinked and pouted. At the thought of getting engaged to a woman, her pretty face instantly turned red. Twisting her fingers together, she was too shy to speak.

Seeing this, Dugu Lin gave Dugu Bo a look. Grandfather and grandson exchanged smiles.

Over the next few days.

Dugu Lin had been continuously adapting to the growth of his own strength.

At the same time, he specifically told Dugu Bo about Spirit Hall's worshippers—so many of them: the rank ninety-nine Qian Daoliu, rank ninety-eight Golden Crocodile Douluo, rank ninety-seven Azure Luan Douluo, Mighty Lion Douluo, and the rest, seven in total!

He especially emphasized Spirit Hall's strength, raising Dugu Bo's sense of crisis and desire to cling to a powerful backer to the fullest.

On the morning of the fourth day.

Dugu Bo sought out Prince Xue Xing and received the highest level of hospitality, with tea and pastries all prepared.

At this point in time, Qian Renxue had only arrived in the Heaven Dou Empire around a year earlier. She had just replaced Xue Qinghe and had not yet killed the other princes. She had not displayed a close relationship with Spirit Hall, nor had she aroused Prince Xue Xing's suspicion or dissatisfaction.

Therefore, after discussing it with Dugu Lin, Dugu Bo decided to begin the matter of the marriage alliance with Prince Xue Xing.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Dugu Bo spoke directly. "Your Highness, I have come today because I have a matter I wish to discuss!"

"Oh? Your Eminence, please speak freely."

Prince Xue Xing set down his teacup with a smile on his face, revealing no other emotion.
