"Grandpa, you're talking about Tian Heng again."
Dugu Yan frowned slightly. It seemed this wasn't the first time Dugu Bo had criticized Yu Tianheng and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
To avoid an awkward atmosphere, Jun Yi took the initiative to speak, saying, " Grandpa Dugu, everything depends on fate, and love is no exception. You can't impose your own ideas on Sister Yanyan; that's unfair to her. You should let her choose her own life."
Jun Yi's words struck a chord with Dugu Yan Jun Yi with new respect.
"What do you know, you twelve-year-old brat? Marriage is a matter of parental arrangement and matchmaker's words; it's a major life event that should be decided by the elders."
It seems that Dugu Bo clearly disagrees with Jun Yi's opinion, but it's also possible that he doesn't like Yu Tianheng. If Dugu Yan liked Jun Yi, then he would definitely agree with what Jun Yi said.
"Hehe, I don't really know. I just heard it from others. I have something to do, so I'll go out for a bit. Grandpa Dugu and Sister Yan, please make yourselves at home." Jun Yi waved to the two of them and turned to leave the room.
Dugu Yan fell into deep thought. Dugu Bo's words reminded her that Jun Yi was only 12 years old, but his behavior made Dugu Yan unconsciously treat him as a peer.
After Jun Yi left, Dugu Bo spoke up to comfort him, saying, " Yanyan, Xiao Yi is indeed a good kid. Grandpa really advises you to reconsider. You know I don't really like that kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; he's just too arrogant."
"Grandpa, I'm six years older than Little Brother Jun, so please don't consider it anymore," Dugu Yan said, using her age as a reason to decline.
"Age is not a problem. You will definitely go further than me in the future. Think about it, a hundred years from now, you will only be 6 years older than him."
Dugu Bo's words plunged Dugu Yan into deep thought once again...
Meanwhile, Jun Yi went to the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, waiting for Sword Douluo to bring Ning Rongrong back to the school.
Out of sheer boredom, Jun Yi meditated and cultivated. The Immortal Herb had greatly enhanced his abilities, but Jun Yi hadn't yet fully unleashed its Immortal Herb potential. Jun Yi definitely needed to spend some time refining himself, and the easiest and most effective method was to spar with a powerful opponent.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jun Yi did not see Ning Rongrong arrive. Instead, he saw Dugu Bo and his grandson Dugu Yan, who came to say goodbye.
At this moment, neither Ning Fengzhi nor Bone Douluo were in the hall; only Jun Yi was present in the vast main hall.
After exchanging pleasantries, Dugu Bo left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with Dugu Yan and returned the seven-colored jade token that Jun Yi had given him.
Just as the two of them left, a sword light streaked across the sky and arrived at the main hall gate in an instant. Then, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing jumped down from the giant Seven Kill Sword.
Before Jun Yi could speak, Jun Yi Ning Rongrong moved closer to him, looked at him face to face, and then waved her hand in front of his eyes.
"Have you gone blind after just a few days?"
Ning Rongrong's words completely stunned Jun Yi. He had originally planned to stage a beautiful reunion scene with Ning Rongrong, but now the atmosphere was completely ruined.
Behind Ning Rongrong came a sneer from Sword Douluo, clearly mocking Jun Yi's appearance as if he were blind.
" Big Brother Jun, what happened? Why did you suddenly cover your eyes?"
Zhu Zhuqing also looked somewhat worried. She stepped forward to Ning Rongrong's side and asked Jun Yi.
"Yes, in order to find an extremely rare herb for Rongrong, I went to the far Far North, crossed the endless snow-covered plains, and finally found the herb on the summit of a snow-capped mountain. However, my eyes lost their Guangming because of the cold."
Jun Yi put on an act as if he had gone through countless hardships, then took out the Aromatic Silk Beauty from his System Space and continued to deceive, "Fortunately, the result is good. I picked it, Rongrong, your Martial Soul can finally evolve."
Jun Yi, with an expression of deep affection, handed the herbs to Ning Rongrong.
After hearing Jun Yi's story, Ning Rongrong felt extremely guilty. She never expected that there was such a story behind her casual sarcasm.
" Jun Yi, I..."
"You don't need to apologize to me. It's my own fault." Jun Yi then turned his head, pretending to be heartbroken.
Just as Ning Rongrong was about to say something to Jun Yi, Zhu Zhuqing beside her raised her question, " The Far North is located at the northernmost part of the continent, while Heaven Dou City is in the south. To get to the Far North, one needs to cross the entire Star Luo Empire, which would take at least a month just for the journey. Yet Big Brother Jun only left Spirit City for 7 days. How did Big Brother Jun manage to do that?"
Zhu Zhuqing analyzed Jun Yi's words in a serious manner, instantly exposing Jun Yi's lie. Ning Rongrong also realized what was happening and ran to Jun Yi's side, taking off the black band from his head.
You lied to me again!
Ning Rongrong could clearly see that Jun Yi's eyes were perfectly fine, just like a normal person's.
"Oh, I was just kidding, don't be angry. But this Immortal Herb is indeed prepared for you; it really can help your Martial Soul Evolution."
Jun Yi smiled and patted Ning Rongrong's head, then handed her the Aromatic Silk Beauty that had been Ice Seal in the vacuum.
"Is this the gift you promised me? You said it could Martial Soul Evolution, are you lying to me again?!"
Ning Rongrong looked at Jun Yi with suspicion, clearly thinking that Jun Yi was lying to her again.
"This time it's for real. You'll see after you've absorbed it all," Jun Yi said with a smile.
Then Jun Yi, Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing entered the main hall together, while Sword Douluo went to the study to inform Ning Fengzhi that he had brought Rongrong back to the sect.
Inside the main hall, Jun Yi took out another Immortal Herb, an eight-petaled orchid, its entire body pure white and exquisite, giving people a sense of lofty and otherworldly elegance.
"This Immortal Herb, called Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, is also for you. You will take it together with the Aromatic Silk Beauty from earlier. It's a pair of mandarin duck immortal Immortal Herb, which complement each other and can maximize the absorption of medicinal power," Jun Yi explained to Ning Rongrong.
"That sounds plausible, so I'll believe you this once."
Ning Rongrong looked at the two glowing herbs in her hand and asked, "How do you take these?"
"Don't rush, let's wait until Uncle Ning arrives. He reminded me beforehand that you should take the Immortal Herb in front of him," Jun Yi said to Ning Rongrong.
Then Jun Yi turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing, took out two immortal Immortal Herb from his System Space, and walked up to her.
