Looking at Qi Ling's expression, the Grandmaster knew he hadn't been coerced, but still asked curiously, "Is that really true? But he just said he'd killed you and the Xiao San."
"Hahaha, Senior Dugu, you're really wicked! To test my teachers' abilities, you actually told such a lie. That's really unacceptable!" Qi Ling said with a laugh.
Dugu Bo glanced at Qi Ling's expression, immediately shedding his cold demeanor, and said naturally, "Hmm, I didn't expect your teachers to be so capable. I just tested their strength, and they almost suffered losses."
The three Grandmaster exchanged bewildered glances, confused as to how the situation had suddenly turned out this way. But Grandmaster still asked, "Then, where is the Xiao San? Where did she go?"
" The Xiao San is still inside, enjoying her opportunity," Qi Ling said. "But she should be coming down by now."
Just then, Tang San, wielding his Eight Spider Lances, arrived from behind the mountain. Upon seeing the Grandmaster, he exclaimed in surprise, " Grandmaster? You... what happened to you? What happened?"
Although the Grandmaster may not look much different on the outside, his inner self has undergone a tremendous change. Tang San, as the person who knows the Grandmaster best, naturally noticed this immediately.
The Grandmaster didn't hide anything and, after obtaining Qi Ling's permission, told them about the Seven-Treasure White Jade Wheel. Everyone was astonished to hear that such a heaven-defying treasure was actually made by Qi Ling.
Especially Dugu Bo, ever since he met Qi Ling, he seemed to be in a state of astonishment. First, Qi Ling ignored his poison, then used a bunch of inexplicable props, and even managed to restrain himself with ropes for a second. Moreover, Qi Ling possessed a treasure that could defy fate. Just who is this Qi Ling? Is he really not a descendant of some great family?
But the happiest person was naturally Liu Erlong, because the Grandmaster had said that he and Liu Erlong no longer had a blood connection, which meant that their relationship was no longer a taboo!
Although there is still a distance between them due to not seeing each other for many years, the biggest problem between them has been solved, so it is only a matter of time before they get married!
"Alright, Grandmaster, you should go back now. We have benefited greatly from Senior Dugu, so we would like to continue learning from him for a while longer," Qi Ling said.
"But..." The Grandmaster wanted to say something more, but Liu Erlong had already impatiently pulled him away, "But what? Xiaogang, hurry up, hurry up, don't disturb the children's studies!"
Seeing Liu Erlong like this, Qi Ling was really afraid that she would "force" the Grandmaster tonight. Considering her personality, it wasn't impossible.
Flender, who had fallen behind, smiled helplessly and said to Dugu Bo, "In that case, we'll entrust the two of them to you, senior! We'll be leaving now."
After the three left, Dugu Bo led Qi Ling and Tang San back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Looking at Tang San, Dugu Bo asked curiously, "Kid, did you eat something? Don't blame me for not warning you, even if the herbs here are tonics, they're not something ordinary people can handle. If you die, you can't blame anyone else!"
Tang San smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, senior, but I have my own reasons for doing this."
"That's right, old man, you'd better tell us quickly how you plan to test us so we can start treating you as soon as possible!" Qi Ling said.
"Hmph, what's the point of testing? Don't think I can't see it. After this kid ate something, the poison in his body is probably more potent than mine!" Dugu Bo said irritably. "What good would it do if I poisoned you again!"
"Hey, senior, stop with the babbling, it's so impolite!" Qi Ling laughed. "So, does that mean you trust us and are planning to let us treat you?"
Dugu Bo nodded and said, "What do you two intend to do to treat me?"
What truly put Dugu Bo at ease was the Seven-Treasure White Jade Wheel that the Grandmaster had mentioned. With such a magical treasure, Qi Ling could easily give it away, so others couldn't help but believe that he could cure the poison.
[Ding! A choice has been detected for the host. Please choose from the following options!]
Option 1: Refuse to treat Dugu Bo. Reward: 10% chance of survival, 10 Gold Soul Coin.
Option 2: Treat Dugu Bo, but poison him during the treatment. Reward: 50% chance of Dugu Bo's death. If Dugu Bo dies, there is a chance to obtain a Soul Bone.
Option 3: Treat Dugu Bo and cure his long-standing illness, as well as the poison in Dugu Yan 'Dugu Bo body. Rewards: Dugu Bo's favorability +50%, " Seven-Colored Poison Scripture ", and " Complete Encyclopedia of Soul Beast ".
Of these three options, option one is obviously not an option, as that would be tantamount to suicide. Option two is also not a good option, although it may yield a Soul Bone, the risk is too great and not worth taking such a risk at all.
More importantly, since Qi Ling has already promised Dugu Bo, he won't go back on his word, as that would be contrary to his principles. If a person can't even keep his own promises, how can he gain the trust of the world?
Moreover, the reward of this third option also greatly interested Qi Ling. The Seven-Colored Poison Scripture is a holy book on the use of poison. If he mastered it, he would be no less skilled in the use of poison than Tang San.
And isn't this " Complete Encyclopedia of Soul Beast " the very work that the Grandmaster has always wanted to complete? With this, he can better understand Soul Beast and help everyone choose more suitable Soul Ring.
[Ding dong! Congratulations, host, you have selected option three: save Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan. Rewards: Dugu Bo's favorability +50%, " Seven-Colored Poison Scripture ", and " Complete Encyclopedia of Soul Beast ".]
"As for getting the antidote, it's actually quite simple, it just depends on who you want to do it for you," Qi Ling said with a smile.
"Oh? Who solves it? Is there any difference?" Dugu Bo asked curiously.
" The Xiao San is good at killing, I'm good at saving lives. Who do you want to heal you?"
"That's a redundant question. Of course, we should save them!" Dugu Bo said matter-of-factly.
"Really? Well, you chose this yourself, so don't regret it!" Qi Ling smiled like a little fox, making Dugu Bo feel uneasy.
"Kid, you can't use this to settle personal scores! Otherwise, I won't let you off the hook!" Dugu Bo said worriedly.
"Don't worry, with me, Divine Physician Qi, here, I guarantee a cure!" Qi Ling said. "If you don't believe me, ask Xiao San!"
Dugu Bo looked at Tang San, Tang San simply smiled and said, "My elder brother's medical skills are a hundred times better than mine, so it's naturally more appropriate for him to treat you."
