At the outer edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Yan followed behind Dugu Bo with a puzzled expression. She didn't understand why her grandfather had suddenly come to her academy to find her so early in the morning, and why he seemed so anxious. He didn't even tell her the reason before taking her Luffy to the Medicine Academy in Sunset Forest.
When she arrived here and heard her grandfather call out " Jun Yi," she instantly realized that what Jun Yi had said yesterday was true; she had indeed been poisoned.
She followed behind her grandfather into the herb garden and arrived at his small courtyard. She immediately saw Jun Yi sitting on a chair in the garden, smiling and waiting for them to arrive.
"Hello, Senior Sister Yanyan." Jun Yi waved and greeted Dugu Yan.
" Jun Yi, how did you end up with my grandfather?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.
"Um, I understand what you mean, but it sounds a bit strange. My encounter with Senior Dugu was purely by chance."
Dugu Bo interjected, "It's a long story. I called you here today so that Jun Yi can help you resolve the hidden toxins in your body."
"Grandpa, am I really poisoned? Why didn't you mention it before?" Dugu Yan asked Dugu Bo curiously. Judging from his tone, it seemed that he had known he was poisoned for a long time.
Dugu Bo sighed and brought up the past, "Alas, this is related to our Martial Soul. Although the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul can control the five poisons, it can also backfire on us. Your father passed away because he couldn't withstand the backlash from the poison."
"But it's all right now. Jun Yi can solve this problem. Yesterday, with his help, I transferred all the toxins from your limbs. That's why I brought you here early this morning so he could resolve this problem that has been bothering me for years."
Dugu Bo walked to Jun Yi's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Kid, it's all up to you now."
"Leave it to me, but haven't you forgotten something?"
"What is that?" Dugu Bo looked at Jun Yi curiously.
" Soul Bone, has Senior Sister Yanyan absorbed any Soul Bone?" Jun Yi asked Dugu Bo.
"Oops, I got so excited that I forgot about the most important thing."
Dugu Bo patted his head, a helpless expression on his face, then stood up and prepared to walk outside.
Jun Yi stopped Dugu Bo and asked, "What are you doing, Senior?"
"I'm going to kill Soul Beast right now. I don't believe that with so many Soul Beast in Sunset Forest, they can't even produce a single Soul Bone."
Dugu Bo made up his mind; in order to eliminate the threat to his granddaughter as soon as possible, he was prepared to unleash a massacre.
"You don't actually need to go to see that Senior Dugu."
"Do you have any other methods?" Dugu Bo turned to look at Jun Yi, questioning the boy who seemed to know everything.
"Senior, I actually have a Soul Bone here. Although it's a bit too young, it should be suitable for Senior Sister Yanyan."
Jun Yi placed his hand on his Soul Tool Ring and gently waved it. A transparent, emerald-green, head-shaped Soul Bone appeared in his palm.
"I obtained this Soul Bone by chance, and it's perfect for treating Senior Sister Yanyan. However, its age is too young, and I'm afraid Senior Sister Yanyan won't be interested in it."
The grandfather and grandson standing to the side were speechless, completely dumbfounded. Dugu Bo felt that all of this was too dreamlike. Jun Yi seemed to be a savior who had come specifically to treat him and his grandson. Whatever he needed, Jun Yi had it. Whatever he didn't understand, Jun Yi could answer for him. It all seemed like a dream.
Dugu Yan was shocked by Jun Yi's attitude. She knew that Soul Bone were extremely rare and precious, especially Head Soul Bone and Torso Bone soul bones, which were even rarer. Yet Jun Yi had casually taken out one and said he would give it to her. She even suspected that Jun Yi had some kind of relationship with her grandfather that she, as his granddaughter, was unaware of.
"Grandpa, is Jun Yi my long-lost cousin? Or perhaps my uncle?"
Dugu Yan suddenly had a sudden burst of inspiration and asked her grandfather.
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's question, Dugu Bo blushed and said righteously, "I only have your father as my son."
"Then why was he willing to help us detoxify, and even willing to give up his Soul Bone to detoxify me? Could it be...?"
Dugu Yan's expression gradually became strange. She suddenly remembered that some nobles in Heaven Dou City had homosexual tendencies, and some older male nobles even kept handsome male concubines. Could it be that her grandfather was also...?
Dugu Yan turned to look at Jun Yi. The young man in front of her was indeed exceptionally handsome, but she couldn't accept that her grandfather had become like this.
" Senior Sister Yanyan, I think you've misunderstood. The reason I did this is because I made a deal with Senior Dugu. He gave me a lot of cultivation resources, the value of which far exceeds that of the Soul Bone. That's why I'm willing to use it to detoxify you."
Jun Yi quickly stopped Dugu Yan from her wild thoughts. He, Jun Yi, was of normal sexual orientation and liked the opposite sex, especially pretty young ladies and girls. If possible, even his aunt would be acceptable.
Dugu Yan nodded in Satori and said, "I see, I was overthinking it."
"Then Senior Sister Yanyan, please absorb this Soul Bone first. As for the healing, we can talk about it after you've absorbed the Soul Bone."
"Uh-huh."
Dugu Yan took the Soul Bone from Jun Yi's hand, then sat down to meditate and absorb Soul Bone. Dugu Bo and Jun Yi stood by to protect Dugu Yan, chatting casually as they did so.
" Jun Yi, I owe you a favor. I never expected you to use a Soul Bone to save Yanyan. I will remember your kindness. If you ever have any requests in the future, just say the word, and I will grant them." Dugu Bo said to Jun Yi gratefully, his tone full of sincerity.
Jun Yi prepared to state his intentions. "Perfect timing, senior, I need your help with something."
"You say."
"I want to create a faction, and I need your guidance," Jun Yi said slowly.
Jun Yi's idea piqued Dugu Bo's curiosity, who asked, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?" Dugu Bo didn't understand why Jun Yi, who clearly had the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect protecting him, would still want to build his own power. After all, building a power sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult. This is mainly because the interests among the various powers on the continent have become saturated and formed a delicate balance. If a power suddenly appears out of nowhere, it will definitely take away the interests of others, and therefore it will be suppressed by others.
Moreover, a genius Soul Master like Jun Yi, backed by two powerful forces, already has a sufficiently strong background. Why would he need to create his own force?
"I just don't want to be led by the nose..."
