Soon, the menacing Dugu Bo, accompanied by Dugu Yan, was the first to arrive at the entrance of the Ye Family Medical Hall.
With a soft "thump," the two landed on the ground. Dugu Yan couldn't help but tug at Dugu Bo's sleeve and complained softly, "Grandpa, didn't we agree that if I told you the news, you wouldn't bother Lin Mo? Can't we go back and talk about it slowly?"
Dugu Bo's expression remained serious. "I'm just here to ask him about the situation; I'm not here to do anything to him."
How can I feel at ease if I don't get to the bottom of this?"
Although that's what he said, the restless Soul Power around him revealed that his mood was far from as calm as it appeared.
The Toxic in both himself and his granddaughter Dugu Yan's bodies was the deepest Outrage in his heart, which he would not allow anyone to touch or pry into.
If it weren't for Dugu Yan's constant dissuasion today, and Lin Mo's genuine help in alleviating Dugu Yan's pain, which could be considered a favor, then things would have been different.
Given his past temper, he probably would have already secretly kidnapped Lin Mo and taken him to a secluded place for a thorough "interrogation."
By then, whether Lin Mo tells the truth or not will be out of his control.
Just then, the door of the Ye Family Medical Hall creaked open from the inside.
Ye Linyuan stood at the door, calmly looking at Dugu Bo and his grandson outside, as well as the three figures rushing towards them from afar.
" Dugu Bo, since you're here, please come in and have a seat." Ye Linyuan's tone was neither humble nor arrogant as he stepped aside to make way for him, thus expressing his welcome.
At the same time, his gaze also fell on Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin, who had just landed. "The three education commissioners have also arrived. What a coincidence."
Lin Mo was quite surprised by the appearance of these three education commissioners.
But after a moment's thought, he realized that one of the reasons they rushed over was to protect themselves.
The thought that three Soul Douluo- level powerhouses were willing to face a Titled Douluo directly for the sake of a junior student like him was truly inspiring.
A warm feeling welled up in Lin Mo's heart, filled with gratitude. He remembered this kindness.
Dugu Bo pulled Dugu Yan behind him, his face displeased as he looked at the three education committee members who had just landed. His tone was quite unfriendly, " Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, Zhi Lin! What are you three old geezers doing following us? Looking for death?"
A dangerous glint flashed in his emerald green eyes, and his Soul Power surged. "I'm in a very bad mood today! You'd better not provoke me!"
Seeing this, Lin Mo stepped forward and respectfully bowed to the three education committee members. "Student Lin Mo thanks the three education committee members for coming."
After expressing his gratitude, he changed the subject, looking at Dugu Bo with his tone remaining calm, "Senior Poison Douluo meant me no harm. He only came to inquire about some matters. I'm sorry to have troubled the three of you to make this trip."
Meng Shenji looked at Lin Mo, his expression serious as he confirmed again, " Lin Mo, are you sure you're alright? If anyone tries to bully the weak, the three of us old guys, along with Old Ye, will absolutely not stand idly by!"
As he spoke, his gaze swept sharply towards Dugu Bo beside him, clearly indicating that he was going to support Lin Mo.
Although Dugu Bo's cultivation level was as high as level 91, making him Titled Douluo, he was far superior to the other three.
However, given that Meng Shenji and his two companions have worked together for many years and have a tacit understanding, it is not entirely impossible for them to contend with Dugu Bo in a short period of time.
What's more, standing next to him is Ye Linyuan, who possesses the top-tier healing-type Martial Soul, Nine Heart Begonia.
With four Soul Douluo- level powerhouses joining forces, they might not necessarily be afraid of Dugu Bo, who is widely recognized as having the lowest combat power among Titled Douluo.
Lin Mo met Meng Shenji's concerned gaze, smiled and nodded, his tone certain. "Thank you for your concern, Chief. I'm really fine. Senior just came to find me to understand the situation."
Dugu Bo snorted coldly from the side and said, suppressing his temper, "I'm just here to ask this kid a few questions. It involves some private matters, and I don't want any outsiders present."
I, in the name of Titled Douluo, guarantee that I will not harm him in the slightest! Now you can all rest assured, right?"
Having received Dugu Bo's personal assurance and seeing that Lin Mo didn't seem to be forced, Meng Shenji and the other two exchanged glances and finally felt a little relieved.
Meng Shenji nodded to Ye Linyuan and Lin Mo: "In that case, we'll head back now."
"Lin Mo, if anything happens, have Old Ye notify us immediately." After saying that, the three of them turned around and retreated to an open space a little further away from the clinic, instead of leaving immediately.
Seeing this, Ye Linyuan ushered Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan into a quiet room behind the clinic.
In preparation for Dugu Bo's arrival, all the other people and patients in the clinic had been arranged to leave in advance, leaving only the five of them there.
The door closed, and the atmosphere in the room became somewhat heavy.
Under the watchful eyes of Ye Linyuan, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan, Lin Mo looked at Dugu Bo, whose expression was still not very good, and took the initiative to speak, "I can roughly guess why you came here to find me, senior."
"It should be related to the poison in Senior Sister Dugu Yan's body, and the fact that I helped her temporarily suppress the backlash from the poison, right?"
Dugu Bo squinted, nodded, and did not refute.
Seeing that he admitted it, Lin Mo continued, "If you just want to know how I could tell that Senior Sister Dugu Yan was poisoned, I can tell you now."
But if you want to know exactly how I temporarily suppressed the toxins in her body, and how I will detoxify her—"
At this point, Lin Mo paused, his gaze fixed on Dugu Bo's emerald green snake eyes, his tone becoming unusually serious and firm. "Then, I hope that Senior can swear an oath with your Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, guaranteeing that you will not reveal the information I am about to tell you to any third party other than those present."
"What?! You dare make this old man swear an oath?!"
As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Dugu Bo flew into a rage!
The terrifying pressure of Titled Douluo erupted suddenly, and the air in the room seemed to freeze, making it difficult to breathe.
He stared intently at Lin Mo, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "You arrogant brat! You've tested my patience time and time again!"
Do you really think that with Ye Linyuan and those three old geezers around, I wouldn't dare to touch you?!
In all his years of dominating the Soul Master World, when had Dugu Bo ever been threatened like this by a child not even ten years old?
This is an absolute humiliation!
Faced with Dugu Bo's fury that seemed to want to tear him apart, Lin Mo felt extremely uncomfortable, but he still gritted his teeth, stood straight, and stared at Dugu Bo without flinching.
He took a deep breath and said earnestly, word by word, "Please calm down, senior."
"I did not mean to offend you, but that information involves my greatest secret. If it is leaked, I will surely die a horrible death!"
"Therefore, if the senior is unwilling to make a vow, then—this junior absolutely cannot speak!"
As Lin Mo finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Just then, Dugu Yan, standing behind Dugu Bo, gently tugged at her grandfather's sleeve, "Grandpa----"
She looked at Lin Mo's face, which had turned pale again, and then at her enraged grandfather, and gently shook her head.
Dugu Bo's chest heaved violently, clearly his anger had not subsided.
He glanced at Lin Mo, whose face was resolute, then turned to look at his granddaughter, whose eyes held a pleading look—
Finally, the terrifying pressure surrounding him vanished instantly. He snorted heavily and waved his hand impatiently, "Fine! Fine! Fine! I'll grant your request today! I swear on my Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul! I will never reveal your secret. If I break this promise, may my Martial Soul shatter and all my Soul Power be gone. Is that alright?"
"Of course, if you can truly cure the poison in my body and my granddaughter's body, I can agree to do three things for you, three things that won't cross my bottom line!"
