First Meeting with Dugu Bo

After resting for the night at an inn in Heaven Dou Imperial City.

The next day, Bibi Dong planned to take Su Mo to visit Dugu Bo.

That's right! It was that direct!

In truth, there was nothing to avoid.

This time, Bibi Dong would definitely be relying on her identity as the Saintess of Spirit Hall when meeting Dugu Bo.

And as the Saintess of Spirit Hall, wasn't it perfectly normal for Bibi Dong to help Spirit Hall recruit an immensely promising Soul Master?

In any case, according to Bibi Dong's plan, she intended to take Yue Guan and Gui Mei directly to meet Dugu Bo and use her status as the Saintess of Spirit Hall to secure an audience with him.

This was because Bibi Dong had long since investigated Dugu Bo's family situation.

The current Dugu Family consisted of only Dugu Bo and his son, Dugu Xin.

Due to the Blue Phosphorous Poison passed down through the Dugu Family for generations.

Dugu Bo, blessed with exceptional talent, had currently reached the realm of a rank seventy-nine Soul Saint, so he could still suppress the Blue Phosphorous Poison within his body.

However, his son Dugu Xin possessed only average talent and could not suppress the Blue Phosphorous Poison. As he grew older, the poison accumulated within him, and symptoms of poisoning had already become apparent.

If nothing was done, then in a few years, everything would unfold just as it had in Bibi Dong's memories. Dugu Xin would become gravely ill and frequently collapse.

For the sake of the Dugu Family's lineage, Dugu Bo could only hurriedly find a wife for his son.

But unfortunately, after getting married, Dugu Xin and his wife struggled for several years before finally having a daughter, Dugu Yan. Not long afterward, he became gravely ill and died!

In her previous life, Tang San had likely subdued Dugu Bo through Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

But now that Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had not yet been born, Bibi Dong could only use Dugu Bo's son, Dugu Xin, to subdue Dugu Bo.

Setting out from the inn, Bibi Dong held Su Mo's hand while Yue Guan and Gui Mei followed behind, and they headed straight for the Dugu Family's residence in Heaven Dou Imperial City.

When choosing the inn, Bibi Dong had already considered visiting Dugu Bo, so she had selected one relatively close to the Dugu Family's residence.

Thus, the four of them soon arrived before Dugu Manor.

After knocking on the door and meeting a servant from Dugu Manor, Bibi Dong directly revealed her identity and requested an audience with Dugu Bo.

Upon hearing that Bibi Dong was the Saintess of Spirit Hall and witnessing the Soul Douluo cultivation Yue Guan displayed, the servant was immediately astonished and hastily said.

"Who would have thought such distinguished guests would visit? Please wait a moment, my lords. I'll report to the master at once!"

With that, the servant hurriedly turned and ran into Dugu Manor, preparing to notify Dugu Bo.

Very soon, a middle-aged man dressed in a dark green robe, with long dark green hair and an appearance and bearing that seemed exceedingly sinister, strode over quickly.

This man was clearly Dugu Bo!

"Who would have thought such esteemed guests from Spirit Hall would visit? You have truly brought honor to Dugu Manor. Please, come in at once!"

As he approached and saw Bibi Dong's group of four, Dugu Bo immediately chuckled politely and extended a hand in invitation.

Since Dugu Bo had not yet become enemies with Spirit Hall, although he did not know why the Saintess of Spirit Hall had come to visit, he would not neglect her.

"Then, Senior Dugu, we won't stand on ceremony!"

Since they had come specifically to find Dugu Bo, Bibi Dong did not stand on ceremony either. After returning his greeting, she held Su Mo's hand and led Yue Guan and Gui Mei into Dugu Manor.

Led by Dugu Bo, the group soon arrived at the Guest Hall of Dugu Manor, where Dugu Bo invited them to sit.

Afterward, Dugu Bo naturally had the Maids bring tea and refreshments, intending to sound out Bibi Dong's purpose in coming to Dugu Manor.

"Young lady, you must be Spirit Hall's current Saintess, correct? At such a young age, you have already reached the Soul King realm. Your future is boundless indeed!"

After seeing everyone seated, Dugu Bo sat down as well. As the Maids under his command served tea and refreshments, he looked at Bibi Dong and could not help praising her.

"You flatter me, Senior. I have merely benefited from Spirit Hall's support. Without Spirit Hall's help, I could never have attained my current cultivation."

Faced with Dugu Bo's praise, Bibi Dong's beautiful face revealed a faint smile as she replied.

"That is not quite right, Saintess. As Spirit Hall's Saintess, isn't it only natural for Spirit Hall to help you?"

Dugu Bo smiled and shook his head.

"By the way, may I ask why you have suddenly come to visit Dugu Manor?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Dugu Bo still got straight to the point.

Hearing Dugu Bo's question, Bibi Dong revealed an inscrutable smile and said.

"Actually, I came to see you this time to help you, Senior."

"Help me?"

Dugu Bo frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.

But Bibi Dong was not surprised by Dugu Bo's reaction. A faint smile still rested on her beautiful face as she slowly said.

"That's right. I came to help you, Senior. Perhaps you are wondering how I could possibly help you, or where you would need my help."

"I know that my words will surely leave you puzzled. You may even suspect that I have come to invite you to join Spirit Hall."

"That's right. Inviting you to join Spirit Hall is indeed one of our goals."

"But we never intended to invite you with empty promises. We wish to have an honest discussion with you, Senior, so that you will be willing to join us of your own accord."

"First, I would like to ask whether you have found a way to resolve the Blue Phosphorous Poison afflicting your family."

"With your cultivation, Senior, you should still be able to suppress the Blue Phosphorous Poison in your body for many years. But it seems that your son can no longer suppress the poison within him, and it has begun to flare up..."

As she spoke to the end, Bibi Dong could not help shaking her head with a sigh.

"You know about the Blue Phosphorous Poison in our family?"

When Bibi Dong mentioned the Blue Phosphorous Poison, Dugu Bo's gaze instantly sharpened.

In that instant, many thoughts flashed through Dugu Bo's mind. That was right—his son, Dugu Xin, could no longer fully suppress the Blue Phosphorous Poison in his body, causing it to begin flaring up.

To cure his son's Blue Phosphorous Poison, Dugu Bo had tried many methods.

But unfortunately, just as countless ancestors before him had found, none of them were of any use. It was difficult even to ease the condition.

The Blue Phosphorous Poison was like an inescapable curse the Azure Phosphorus Clan had been born with, something that simply could not be removed.

But judging by what this Saintess of Spirit Hall before him meant, had Spirit Hall found a way to remove the Blue Phosphorous Poison afflicting the Azure Phosphorus Clan?

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's heart stirred, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Your Excellency Saintess, since you know that our Azure Phosphorus Clan has suffered from the Blue Phosphorous Poison for generations and still wish to recruit us, have you people from Spirit Hall found a way to remove the Blue Phosphorous Poison from our Azure Phosphorus Clan?"

"If you have found one, and that method can truly remove the Blue Phosphorous Poison from our Azure Phosphorus Clan, then it would not be impossible for our Azure Phosphorus Clan to submit to Spirit Hall."
