Dugu Bo's Weak Spot!

Moonlight Pavilion.

In the dead of night.

A black shadow descended outside the window, seemingly able to see the situation inside through it.

"Little sister—"

Inside the room.

Tang Yuehua suddenly woke up, threw on an outer robe, and walked out.

Creak!

As soon as the window opened, the shadow flew into the room.

The visitor pulled off his black robe, revealing his face. It was Tang Xiao himself!

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Tang Yuehua asked in surprise.

Chu Lan had merely made Tang Yuehua his servant; he had not erased her memories.

"Little sister!"

Tang Xiao said seriously, "You haven't sent any messages back to the sect for a whole year. I was worried something had happened to you, so I came to check on you!"

"Did something happen here?"

He scrutinized her carefully from head to toe.

After confirming that Tang Yuehua was unharmed, he quietly let out a breath of relief.

"What could possibly happen to me here?"

Tang Yuehua smiled. "I've just been rather busy lately and never found the time."

"That's good, that's good..." Tang Xiao was finally completely relieved.

"Big brother, you're the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. How could you casually leave the sect just because of me? What if someone discovered you? It would be disastrous! Hurry back before dawn. Nothing will happen here!" Tang Yuehua repeatedly urged Tang Xiao to leave.

Having confirmed that Tang Yuehua was safe and sound, Tang Xiao was fully at ease. He nodded slightly and said, "As long as nothing happened here, I'm relieved. Remember to write back often."

Tang Yuehua nodded.

Tang Xiao had no intention of lingering any longer.

He had entered through the window, and he left through the window as well.

Whoosh—!

Sunset Forest.

Chu Lan controlled the Chicken Talisman and floated through the sky, surveying the ground below by moonlight.

When he spotted a valley shrouded in miasma unlike the rest, he immediately descended.

"Sunset Forest isn't large. This should be the only valley I haven't entered yet."

"With fog this thick, this must be the place."

Chu Lan stared ahead and muttered to himself.

He activated the Chicken Talisman's power, and the dense miasma ahead automatically parted to either side.

A wide, clean path appeared.

Chu Lan entered.

Very soon!

An astonishing sight that made his eyes light up finally came into view!

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Chu Lan was overjoyed.

He recognized the many strange flowers and exotic plants here.

That was also thanks to the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record he had snatched from the Tang Sect's Scripture Repository.

Thinking of that, he could not help wondering what fate awaited Tang San...

Forget it. It didn't matter!

He was a bad person. He could not care about so much; all he needed to do was take care of himself and those around him.

What? There was no one around him?

There would be sooner or later!

Tang Yuehua didn't count!

"Dugu Bo's poison flares up twice a day. At this hour... he should be here too."

"So what if he finds me?"

"With my relationship with Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo wouldn't beat me to death, would he?"

"Even if he really tries to kill me, I can use my traversal ability to escape, though it only lasts five seconds..."

"If that doesn't work, there's still the Chicken Talisman... If that still doesn't work... If that still doesn't work... Forget it!"

Chu Lan cast aside all distracting thoughts.

At this very moment!

His heart contained only the spirit herbs before him!

"Oh my, is this the Lovesick Heartbreak Red? It's so ugly before it blooms!"

Chu Lan had no interest in this thing and immediately turned his attention to the other Immortal Herbs.

"What are you looking for?" Dugu Bo appeared behind Chu Lan and asked in a low voice.

"Immortal Herbs!" Chu Lan replied excitedly without turning around.

"Immortal Herbs? What are Immortal Herbs?" Dugu Bo frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.

Chu Lan abruptly turned around.

When he saw it was Dugu Bo, he feigned surprise. "You are... that person from a year ago who relied on his high cultivation to bully me... Little Yan's grandfather?"

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at Chu Lan. "You've got some nerve, slandering me like that! When did I ever rely on my cultivation to bully you?"

Now he understood!

Chu Lan remembered what had happened a year ago so clearly. His grudge-holding was beyond Dugu Bo's imagination!

Dugu Bo did not get angry, however.

Over the past year, he had often heard about Chu Lan from Dugu Yan.

He also knew the two got along fairly well.

And seeing that Chu Lan was only eight years old, still just a child, Dugu Bo did not get angry.

"You just said... you were looking for Immortal Herbs?"

"What are Immortal Herbs?"

"Could it be..."

Dugu Bo thought of a possibility and asked in surprise, "You recognize these plants?"

Chu Lan did not answer immediately, instead taking a step back.

"Don't be afraid!"

Thinking Chu Lan feared him, Dugu Bo reassured him, "I won't bully you again."

Seizing on that, Chu Lan said, "So you admit you bullied me before?"

Dugu Bo glared at Chu Lan irritably. "Why is a child like you so petty? I only wanted to test your abilities that time. It's not like I actually attacked you!"

Chu Lan sighed in relief. "For Little Yan's sake, I'll reluctantly believe you this once."

"Now, back to what we were discussing. Do you... recognize these plants?" Dugu Bo's eyes were full of anticipation. He had found this place over a decade ago. Apart from knowing that it was suitable for plant growth, could suppress toxins, and was extremely dangerous, he knew nothing else. For example, he did not recognize a single one of the plants that had originally grown here.

"What do I get out of telling you?" Chu Lan stared fixedly at Dugu Bo.

"What do you want?" Dugu Bo was straightforward, and he could see that Chu Lan was interested in this place.

"I can tell you, but from now on... I get half the rights to use this place." Chu Lan had barely finished speaking.

Dugu Bo immediately agreed. "No problem!"

"And there's more!"

Chu Lan continued, "You have to let me use the herbs here."

"You have to guarantee it with your character."

"I agree! Don't worry, everyone knows the character of Dugu Bo!" Dugu Bo patted his chest, his heart brimming with heroic spirit.

"Then I'll tell you later. First, I need to get busy for a while. Many Immortal Herbs here can help with cultivation, so I'll pick some for myself and Little Yan."

Chu Lan lowered his head and began digging up herbs.

Right in front of Dugu Bo, he used the Mysterious Jade Hand, sending his little hoe flying.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo inexplicably felt a pang in his heart. Though he did not recognize the plants here, watching someone dig them up with such excitement... felt like Chu Lan was poaching his territory!

"Stop digging!"

"Say something already!"

Dugu Bo hurried forward to stop Chu Lan from continuing.

"Quit tugging at me!"

Chu Lan impatiently pushed Dugu Bo away. "Keep bothering me, and I won't detoxify you!"

Dugu Bo's previously amicable demeanor changed instantly upon hearing those words!

"What did you say!?"

The temperature around them suddenly plummeted.

Chu Lan felt a chill run down his back.

The moment he turned around.

He saw Dugu Bo's emerald-green eyes, like a snake's pupils, fixed on him.
