"Dugu Bo is one of your men?"
Qian Renxue repeated Qin Xiao's words in disbelief.
"So Dugu Bo took Zhu Zhuqing and Meng Yiran away to protect them?"
"That's right."
Facing Qian Renxue's questions, Qin Xiao nodded again. "The situation was critical then, and I didn't know whether I'd survive, so I asked Dugu Bo to look after Zhu Zhuqing and Yiran for me."
This time, after hearing Qin Xiao's explanation, Qian Renxue didn't know what to say.
"Ah, I risked life and limb fighting a bloody battle with Dugu Bo, only to find out we both had the same goal."
"What a colossal mix-up."
Beside them, Snake Lance Douluo smacked his lips, his expression complicated.
Qin Xiao's expression also turned strange after hearing Snake Lance Douluo's words.
Indeed.
Both sides had nearly lost their lives over this misunderstanding.
"Thank you."
For once, Qin Xiao gave Snake Lance Douluo a friendly look. "Why don't you come somewhere with me later? I'll have Dugu Bo remove your poison."
"Dugu Bo?"
Snake Lance Douluo's gaze flickered. "He's not doing so well himself right now, is he?"
Qin Xiao nodded. "Probably a little better than you. He should recover after resting a while longer, whereas you've been afflicted with Jade Phosphor Snake Poison..."
"Even if I've been afflicted with Jade Phosphor Snake Poison, I don't need him to cure me. Wouldn't that make me look inferior to him?" Snake Lance Douluo shook his head firmly.
In his mind, he could accept not being stronger than Dugu Bo, but he absolutely refused to be weaker than him.
Otherwise, how could he keep his footing among the Titled Douluos? Wouldn't he become their newest disgrace?
"Good for you. You've got backbone."
Qin Xiao offered a word of praise, then turned his gaze to Qian Renxue.
