Chapter 32 Turning Dugu Bo to the Side
However, Dugu Yan quickly dismissed those unrealistic ideas.
How could her grandfather possibly seek help from Prince Qinghe?
That's impossible.
Dugu Yan was unsure whether she should accept the pills Mo Xuewei offered. She frowned and suddenly asked, "Does Your Highness need me to do something?"
No one gives favors for no reason, especially not to someone from the royal family.
Why would someone offer such a large benefit if they had no ulterior motive?
Dugu Yan wasn't stupid. Although she didn't grow up in a large family, she still knew a little about things.
The Crown Prince of Qinghe's request is most likely related to her grandfather.
"Of course." Mo Xuewei didn't intend to hide anything from Dugu Yan. "You're so smart, you should have guessed what I want."
Dugu Yan thought to herself, "As expected, they're after her grandfather."
Dugu Yan's expression was somewhat solemn. She politely declined, saying, "Your Highness, I cannot interfere with my grandfather's decision, nor will I. I appreciate Your Highness's good intentions, but this gift is too valuable for me to accept. Please forgive me."
To refuse the Crown Prince without offending him, the only option is to separate her from her grandfather. This way, the Crown Prince of Qinghe won't have anything to pursue, since he can't possibly make things difficult for a young girl.
However, before Mo Xuewei could speak, someone rushed in from outside.
"Yan Yan!"
The door was pushed open forcefully.
The visitor was an elderly man with dark green hair and beard. The first thing he did upon entering was to check on Dugu Yan. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Dugu Yan was alright.
He then looked at Mo Xuewei with a serious expression: "I was unaware of Your Highness's presence. I apologize for my rudeness."
The so-called "apologizing" is actually just a symbolic gesture of clasping hands in apology.
Mo Xuewei, of course, wouldn't hold a grudge against him over such a small matter. She immediately waved her hand and said with a smile, "Senior Dugu, you flatter me. Please sit down, Senior."
Dugu Bo's arrival was within Mo Xuewei and Qian Renxue's expectations.
It's impossible for Xue Beng not to have spies within the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, so the moment he arrived and took Dugu Yan away, Xue Beng would definitely have informed Dugu Bo.
Dugu Yan is Dugu Bo's only family in this world, and he would never let anything happen to her.
Dugu Bo was initially prejudiced and somewhat aggressive towards Mo Xuewei, but Mo Xuewei treated him politely. As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face, and since the other party was the Crown Prince of Tiandou, he couldn't keep giving her a hard time. That was enough.
He sat down and gestured for Dugu Yan to leave. Dugu Yan glanced at Mo Xuewei and, seeing that no one was stopping her, she left as well.
It's best for a mortal like her to stay away from a battle between gods.
After Dugu Yan left, Dugu Bo spoke up: "If Your Highness wanted to see me, you could have simply informed your attendants. Why bother coming to the academy to find my granddaughter?"
Dugu Bo's words were clearly full of targeting and dissatisfaction.
If it weren't for the other party's high status, he probably would have already taken action.
He has always been a person who does things according to his own preferences, but Dugu Yan is indeed his weakness and his Achilles' heel.
He can touch anyone, but not Dugu Yan. He's a total granddaughter fanatic.
However, it seems that all the grandfathers in this world are doting on their granddaughters, Mo Xuewei thought to herself.
She said, "Senior Dugu, you misunderstand. I did not mean to make things difficult for your granddaughter. I only wanted to give her something when I saw her this time."
Give me something? What is it?
Dugu Bo's questions were written all over his face.
Mo Xuewei had no intention of beating around the bush. She stated directly, "The most distinctive feature of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul is its venom. Therefore, almost all Soul Masters who possess this Martial Soul cultivate in the direction of poison. Only in this way can the refinement of the Martial Soul reach its highest level. However, cultivating in the direction of poison will endanger the cultivator's life. Although you are renowned for your poison skills across the continent, the pain caused by poison must be considerable. Once the toxins in your body flare up at a certain time, the pain will be unbearable. During that period, you can only try your best to relieve the pain at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, right?"
Dugu Bo was taken aback.
How did Xue Qinghe know about these things?
What Tang San said?
Dugu Bo subconsciously thought of the boy who had "called him brother".
But he quickly rejected it.
Tang San is not that kind of person.
but…
Besides himself, only Tang San was so familiar with his own situation.
Dugu Bo was a little confused.
"How did Your Highness find out?" he asked, his gaze intense.
Mo Xuewei smiled slightly: "Don't worry about how I know. I think Tang San must have told you there's a solution, right? I imagine it's about forcing the poison out when it takes effect, directing it into the soul bone, which would reduce the poison's corrosive effects, wouldn't it?"
Dugu Bo was stunned again. Xue Qinghe knew Tang San? He even knew that this was the method Tang San had told him?
Dugu Bo frowned slightly and asked, "Did Tang San tell Your Highness all of this?"
However, Mo Xuewei shook her head and denied it: "The deal between Tang San and the senior was that he would detoxify Dugu Yan and then help the senior alleviate the effects of the poison, right?"
Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat complicated, but he had to admit, "Yes."
Mo Xuewei continued, "In exchange, you agreed to let him take the things from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, right? Oh, of course, there's also the bet between the senior and him involved."
Hearing Mo Xuewei recount the matter so clearly, Dugu Bo couldn't help but suspect that Tang San had told the story. He reluctantly nodded and replied, "That's right."
Mo Xuewei smiled and said, "I suppose you don't know how Tang San won the bet. He consumed a magical herb when he was at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. That herb gave him immunity to all poisons, which is why he won the bet."
"In addition, the immortal herbs he took from the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire are all rare items. After a Soul Master absorbs them, he can greatly improve his Soul Power level and potential, and even evolve his Martial Soul. Regarding this, you can check Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul. It was after she consumed an immortal herb called Qiluo Tulip that her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"And didn't you notice how fast the Shrek Seven Devils improved? Is that the speed of a normal Soul Master? Perhaps you think they are geniuses or monsters, but in fact, they have such strength because they consumed the immortal herbs that Tang San took away. Of course, there are also some real monsters and geniuses among them, but that's a story for later."
Mo Xuewei paused and looked at Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo's expression was very unpleasant at this moment, but he did not completely believe it.
