When Dugu Yan's letter arrived, Dugu Bo was at the edge of Sunset Forest.

The Messenger Eagle landed on a branch and cried out twice.

Dugu Bo raised his hand, and the letter fell into his palm.

He skimmed through it, raising an eyebrow.

"Can it dispel the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison?"

A servant beside her whispered, "Is the young lady in danger?"

Dugu Bo put the letter away.

She said she didn't lose.

The servant dared not reply.

Dugu Bo snorted.

"The fact that they wrote to me even though they didn't lose shows they're not convinced."

He knew his granddaughter too well.

Dugu Yan was stubborn; if it were truly just a casual sparring match, she would at most come back and complain a bit.

This letter, however, was written in great detail.

How the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison was dispersed, the timing of Tang San's use of the medicine, how Myriad Phenomena Yuan Yu forced Yu Tianheng to retreat in one move, and even Ye Lingling's evaluation of Zhu Zhuqing were written in.

The more Dugu Bo, the more interesting it became.

A kid who knows about drugs.

A twelve-year-old Soul King.

When did Suotuo City become this bustling?

He stood up, his long green hair swaying gently in the wind.

Suotuo City.

The next instant, the person had vanished into the forest.

The servant stood there for a long while before daring to raise his head.

When Titled Douluo travels, he won't disturb passersby like an ordinary Soul Master.

However, the Soul Beast along the way sensed the danger first.

As Dugu Bo walked through the forest, several Nocturnal Soul Beast peeked out but immediately retreated back into the grass.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor doesn't need to release too much of its aura.

Even a single wisp is enough to make low-level Soul Beast detour.

Dugu Bo headed towards Suotuo City.

He wasn't thinking about Shrek, nor about the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

He just wanted to see what Tang San had that made Dugu Yan write a letter.

And then there's Yuan Yu.

A twelve-year-old Soul King, with five God-given Spirit Rings.

When the name reached his ears, he thought the Spirit Hall was just promoting their own genius again.

In retrospect, it may not have been an exaggeration.

Suotuo City, the Imperial Fighting Team also didn't sleep well.

Yu Tianheng sat cross-legged, his right arm still feeling slightly numb.

He was recalling Yuan Yu's strike.

It's not a matter of the strength of Soul Power.

That cut was perfectly precise.

He raised his right hand, and Lightning Flash flickered at his fingertips.

The Lightning is still my own Lightning.

But the moment he encountered Yuan Yu last night, he clearly felt that his Soul Power was cut open by the other party.

That kind of loss isn't shameful.

But it's very pungent.

Yu Tianheng closed his eyes.

Next time they meet, he can't just force out a sword that's still sheathed.

Dugu Yan sat by the window, waiting for news.

Yu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Yanzi, will your grandfather really come?"

"Meeting."

"Will Shrek be in trouble?"

Dugu Yan glanced at him.

"Do you think I called my grandfather here to bully someone?"

Yu Feng immediately waved his hand.

"I didn't say that."

Ye Lingling said softly, "Tang San's medicine is indeed special. It's normal for your grandfather to want to see it."

Yu Tianheng opened his eyes.

"Tell the senior not to clash with Yuan Yu."

Dugu Yan was taken aback.

"You're still worried about him?"

Yu Tianheng looked down at his arm.

"I'm worried about us."

The room quieted down for a moment.

Dugu Yan did not refute.

She saw it too.

Yuan Yu has the Spirit Hall behind him, and there are more than one powerful figure lurking in the shadows.

This person is not an ordinary Soul King from Suotuo City.

Yu Feng whispered, "But Senior is Titled Douluo."

Yu Tianheng said, "Even Titled Douluo needs to consider who's standing opposite them."

Dugu Yan frowned.

"You mean my grandfather will suffer a loss?"

Yu Tianheng shook his head.

"I just don't want things to escalate into a conflict between Heaven Dou and the Spirit Hall."

Qin Ming happened to push the door open and entered. Upon hearing these words, he paused in his tracks.

"Tian Heng is right."

The Dugu Yan turned its head.

Qin Ming continued, "If your grandfather only wants Tang San's medicine, no one will stop him. But if he takes action because someone is setting a trap, things will change."

Dugu Yan collected the empty tube left by the Messenger Eagle.

"I see."

She said that, but she was even more annoyed inside.

What started as mere resentment on the Dueling Platform has now escalated into a whole host of dirty tricks.

She was already starting to regret not poisoning the person who had given her the drug to make them mute last night.

As night deepened, a green shadow landed outside the Imperial Fighting Rest Courtyard.

Dugu Yan suddenly stood up.

"Grandfather!"

Everyone in the Imperial Fighting stood up at the same time.

Even though Dugu Bo didn't release his Martial Soul, the air in the room seemed to have become heavier.

The Shi Brothers stood the straightest.

Yu Feng, who usually loves to talk, kept quiet this time.

The Titled Douluo doesn't need to be constantly mentioned.

When you arrive at a certain point, the pressure begins.

Dugu Bo pushed open the door and entered.

He first looked at Dugu Yan, scanning her up and down to make sure she wasn't injured, before speaking.

Who is Tang San?

Dugu Yan's lips twitched.

"Grandpa, you asked him this as soon as you arrived?"

"You wrote it three times in your letter."

Dugu Yan blushed.

"I meant his medicine was strange."

Dugu Bo sat down in the chair.

"And Yuan Yu, the twelve-year-old Soul King, Sun Wheel Blade. I've heard of that name before."

Yu Tianheng stood up and bowed.

"Senior Dugu."

Dugu Bo glanced at him.

"You fought with him?"

Yu Tianheng nodded.

"One move, I retreat three steps."

Dugu Bo chuckled.

"I'm not useless, I dare to admit defeat."

Yu Tianheng remained silent.

Dugu Bo then asked Dugu Yan, "Did Tang San hurt you?"

"No."

Did Yuan Yu hurt you?

"No, not at all."

"Then let me take a look first."

"What are you looking at?"

"Let's look at Tang San's medicine, and also at Yuan Yu's sword."

Dugu Yan grew anxious.

"Grandpa, don't scare people."

Dugu Bo stood up.

"Don't worry, I won't kill children."

Ye Lingling looked at him and said softly, "Senior, someone in Suotuo City has recently been using the Imperial Fighting to set up a trap."

Dugu Bo paused for a moment.

"Who?"

Yu Tianheng said, "It's not clear yet. Myriad Phenomena is investigating."

Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes.

"Is someone using my granddaughter to set a trap?"

The room suddenly got cold.

Dugu Yan was also stunned.

She had only been thinking about Tang San's medicine and hadn't considered this possibility.

Dugu Bo turned and walked out.

"Lead the way."

The night wind blows through Suotuo City.

Dugu Bo did not have everyone from Imperial Fighting follow him.

He only brought Dugu Yan with him.

Yu Tianheng wanted to follow, but was turned away with a single glance.

"Take care of your hands."

Yu Tianheng bowed his head in agreement.

Dugu Yan followed behind Dugu Bo, a sense of unease rising in her heart for the first time.

If someone really did use her poison to scheme against Shrek, then someone was watching and laughing at last night's Soul Fighting from the very beginning.

She didn't like this feeling.

She dislikes it even more when people treat her like a thread, pulling her along and then pulling her back.

The shadows of the trees outside the Shrek Academy swayed gently.

Yuan Yu had just returned from Snow Willow Alley when he stopped in his tracks.

On the rooftop, Azure Luan also opened her eyes.

Not far away, an elderly man with green hair stood under a tree.

Dugu Bo looked at the lights in the courtyard, his voice low.

Who is Tang San?

Dugu Yan stood behind him, without entering the courtyard.

She saw Shrek's dilapidated houses and the training Wooden Stake that hadn't been taken down in the yard.

This place certainly doesn't seem like an academy that could breed monsters.

But it was in this very place that Imperial Fighting suffered two losses in one night.

She suddenly understood why Qin Ming's tone was always different when he mentioned Shrek compared to others.
