The Strikingly Similar Uncle and Nephew

Watching the master and disciple get along so harmoniously, Dugu Yan felt their harmonious atmosphere and burst into laughter again.

They really are so harmonious!!

I'm so jealous of their master-disciple relationship.

"Pfft... Little Brother, you're really interesting, but I still need to go back and see my Grandfather, so I won't chat with you anymore. This big sister is leaving first!!"

"Alright, goodbye, Big Sister!! My name is Xiao Yu. If you have time, Big Sister, you can come to Blue Tyrant Academy and play with me!"

"Alright, I'll come play with you when I have time!! Oh, right, Little Brother, you can call me Sister Yan Yan from now on! It'll sound more affectionate!"

Dugu Yan stroked Xiao Yu's head and said with a gentle smile.

For the first time in all these years, she had heard someone praise her grandfather like that. Dugu Yan found herself quite fond of this Little Brother.

"Okay, Sister Yan Yan!!"

"Mhm, what a good boy."

"Damn it."

Watching Xiao Yu make Dugu Yan beam with just a few words—and even get her to agree to such an intimate form of address—Yu Tianheng's heart was filled with little people tearing down houses.

He had worked so hard, giving her flowers, bringing her drinks, and showering her with care.

He spent all his monthly allowance buying things for Dugu Yan.

Even though she refused them every time.

Yet despite all his efforts, it was incredibly difficult for him to get Dugu Yan to say even one more pleasant word to him.

And this kid? He had merely said a few things, merely praised Dugu Bo a little, and Dugu Yan's smile had not stopped since.

Where was the cold expression Dugu Yan usually wore whenever she faced him?!

That gentle smile was like something he could only see in a dream.

My god, is the gap between me and this kid really that huge?

I, Yu Tianheng, the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, actually lost to some little brat like this?!

At that moment, Yu Tianheng was beginning to question his life.

Where exactly had he lost?

He could say everything Xiao Yu had just said too.

The only reason he did not was because he felt there was no need.

Dugu Yan did not care about Yu Tianheng's thoughts at all. She did not even spare him a glance.

She waved goodbye to Xiao Yu and Liu Erlong, preparing to leave.

However, Sleeping Dragon released another breath onto Liu Erlong, intending to prolong the pain-relieving effect.

Dugu Yan, who was not far from Liu Erlong, was struck by the residual force of that Bright Breath. In only a few moments, she felt the toxins that had originally been completely calm within her body begin to stir for some unknown reason.

Soon, affected by the toxins in her body, her face instantly turned deathly pale.

Like a porcelain doll, she toppled directly toward Xiao Yu.

Her lips also changed from their original vivid red to a jade-green color.

"Big Sister!!"

"Yan Yan!!"

Seeing Dugu Yan collapse, Xiao Yu hurriedly caught her by the slender waist.

He let her lean against him.

Dugu Yan was still underage, only twelve or thirteen years old. Thus, she was not much taller than seven-year-old Xiao Yu, who had already obtained his first soul ring.

Holding up the half-collapsed Dugu Yan was therefore no problem at all.

However, Xiao Yu had no time to enjoy her faint fragrance or her water-snake-like slender waist. His face was full of confusion. Had her poison flared up?

"W-What is going on? How did Yan Yan end up like this?! What should we do now?!"

Seeing Dugu Yan in that state, Yu Tianheng instantly panicked. He had no idea what to do and did not even dare touch her, afraid of hurting Yan Yan—or himself.

Liu Erlong's expression also became extremely grim. She instinctively looked toward Xiao Yu, her heart filled with unease.

This was Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's only biological granddaughter. If something happened to her here, then not only they, but even the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan would not be able to bear the consequences.

The desperate retaliation of a Titled Douluo, especially one who specialized in poison.

How many people would have to die before it was enough?

"Xiao Yu, what exactly is going on?"

Liu Erlong asked in a hoarse voice, her expression exceedingly ugly.

Drawing on his memories of the original story and carefully recalling what had just happened, Xiao Yu came up with a possibility and quickly spoke.

"Big Sister should have been poisoned. Look, even her lips have changed color. Teacher, do you know where His Excellency Dugu's residence is? If it's poisoning, it's best to find His Excellency Dugu directly!"

Hearing that, Liu Erlong spoke with a slightly pale face.

"I... don't know."

Previously, she had lived in seclusion within Blue Tyrant Academy.

Every day, she yearned for her Xiao Gang.

She only involved herself in major matters of the academy and basically ignored minor ones.

If not for Xiao Yu's appearance, Liu Erlong would not have been so active within the academy.

"I know."

Yu Tianheng immediately cut in from the side.

He wanted to use this to prove his presence.

However, when he heard Xiao Yu's next instruction, his expression instantly changed.

"Good. Then go bring Senior Dugu to Blue Tyrant Academy. It's closer to the academy, and the teachers here can temporarily help Sister Yan Yan suppress the poison. If we send her directly back to His Excellency Dugu's residence, I'm afraid the poison will worsen from all the jostling along the way. That would be even more troublesome."

"What?! You want me to go find the Poison Douluo?! I-I can't do that. How about I take you there instead?"

When Yu Tianheng heard Xiao Yu actually tell him to find Dugu Bo, his face immediately filled with terror.

He did not want to go.

After being threatened by him once, Yu Tianheng had become terrified of Dugu Bo.

If pursuing Dugu Yan had not been a clan mission, and if Dugu Yan had not genuinely matched his ideal type so well, he would have stayed far away from her long ago.

"How can you not go?! You're the only one here who knows where His Excellency Dugu's residence is. Besides, I still need to take the seriously injured Teacher Erlong and Sister Yan Yan back to the academy, and I need Sleeping Dragon to treat Teacher Erlong's injuries. How would I have time for you to take me there?!"

Seeing Yu Tianheng act so cowardly, Xiao Yu frowned tightly as he spoke.

He had not expected Yu Tianheng to be this timid.

He did not even have the courage to go see Dugu Bo.

How had someone like him pursued Dugu Yan in the original story?!

So he really just used the blond-haired pretty-boy method, huh.

At this moment, Liu Erlong also spoke with a solemn expression to persuade him.

"Tianheng, if I'm not mistaken, you want to pursue her, right? Listen to me. If you go now, wouldn't that indirectly make you one of Dugu Yan's saviors?!

"If you do that, as one of Dugu Yan's saviors, not only will you leave a good impression on His Excellency Dugu, but you'll also make Dugu Yan see you in a new light. When that happens, won't your chances be much greater?!
