With a Titled Douluo's speed, the Dugu Residence wasn't far from the city gates.
Even though Dugu Bo had tried to slow down, his anxiousness still brought him to the agreed location quickly.
He looked around but didn't spot Broad Hill, which brought a mix of relief and disappointment.
This can't be blamed on grandpa, Yan Yan, it's just your bad luck, he thought with slight ease.
"Looking for me?"
Just as he was in a decent mood, ready to head home and tell Du Gu Yan the news, a familiar voice came from behind him. Who else could it be but Broad Hill?
Dugu Bo's body stiffened for a moment before returning to normal. He turned around to see Broad Hill scrutinizing him with a playful smile.
"Don't scare people like that! You scared me. Sneaking up on someone like that, aren't you afraid I'll reflexively throw some poison at you?" Dugu Bo said, annoyed, but also helpless.
"With your strength? Ha."
Broad Hill didn't continue, but his meaning was clear. Though brief, the insult was potent.
Having spent two days with him, Dugu Bo had grown accustomed to his attitude. He clenched his fists tightly, then slowly released them.
Forget it, I can't beat him. Besides, I have something to discuss with him, so I can't be impulsive. Impulsiveness is the devil, Dugu Bo silently consoled his wounded pride.
"Alright, what do you want? It's not time for our appointment yet. If I hadn't seen you heading this way in the city, you'd have wasted your trip."
"Also, your vigilance is terrible. I followed you all the way here, and you didn't even notice. How can I trust you to protect Xiao Li in the future?"
Broad Hill didn't miss the chance to chide Dugu Bo.
"I was thinking about something," Dugu Bo retorted weakly, then quickly changed the subject to the real matter.
"Right, I wanted to discuss something with you. When we go back this time, can you take my Granddaughter with us?"
As he spoke, Dugu Bo carefully watched Broad Hill's expression.
As he expected, Broad Hill's face darkened as soon as he heard the words, and he stared intently at Dugu Bo. "Did you tell your Granddaughter everything?"
Seeing his intense reaction, Dugu Bo quickly explained, "No, I didn't. I only told her I was going for treatment, and I only said what I could about Han Li's situation. Don't forget, I swore on my Martial Soul."
Hearing this, Broad Hill's expression improved slightly, but he still kept his gaze locked on him.
Dugu Bo continued, "I told her about my Martial Soul poisoning, and Yan Yan was worried about me and wanted to come along."
"I thought that she would need treatment later anyway, and she'll have to learn about Martial Soul evolution eventually. It's better to bring her along now and save the trouble of running back and forth, which could leak the news."
"Anyway, I've decided to join Han Li, and my only Granddaughter will definitely come with me. We can have her swear on her Martial Soul when the time comes. Also, don't forget what I told you before, letting the two of them get to know each other beforehand would be good, right?"
Dugu Bo even winked suggestively at Broad Hill.
Broad Hill gave the weathered Dugu Bo a look of disdain.
Good? What's so good about it? When I was talking to you before, I subconsciously forgot about Little Snow. Now that I've remembered, can I let you continue like this? No way, I have to find a way to sabotage this. With Little Snow's personality, Xiu'er is fine, but if she finds out that Xiao Li has other partners, that's absolutely impossible.
Should I just refuse? No, Xiao Li seems to value this grandfather and granddaughter. I'll need this old guy Dugu Bo to be Xiao Li's guard in the future, so that won't do.
Also, what if Xiao Li and Little Snow don't end up together? I'm still waiting to play with my grandchildren.
You're a naturally insidious snake, I'll just do it myself...
You're giving me a problem, I'll remember this, Dugu Bo.
Watching Broad Hill's face change as he seemed to be thinking about something, Dugu Bo felt a chill for no reason.
Then, he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt like Broad Hill was looking at him with even more disdain.
???
Several large question marks appeared on Dugu Bo's forehead. Is Broad Hill okay? Why is he suddenly acting up again? It's just a matter of agreeing or disagreeing, why does he have to make such a fuss?
Weren't you happy when we were talking about Han Li's fiancée before?
Broad Hill exhaled and looked at Dugu Bo again. "Then bring her along. You take care of her yourself, don't cause trouble for Xiao Li."
"Okay, no problem." Dugu Bo replied happily, not paying attention to his warning.
"Then hurry up, don't make me wait. We'll set off as soon as you arrive." Broad Hill waved his hand, signaling him to get lost.
"Okay."
Dugu Bo left a word and ran towards the city. He wanted to go back and tell Yan Yan the good news.
Broad Hill found another shady spot, sat down, and began to think about the countermeasures for the future.
He had been careless before and had fallen for this old brat Dugu Bo's trick.
...
On the other side, Dugu Bo quickly returned home and found that Du Gu Yan seemed to have packed her things. She was constantly looking at the roads on both sides at the door, waiting for his news.
"Grandpa."
As soon as Dugu Bo's figure appeared, Du Gu Yan immediately greeted him, hugged his arm, and wanted to know the answer.
"Alright, the other party agreed, we'll leave later." Dugu Bo replied with a smile.
"Yay, then can you tell me in advance, Grandpa, where are we going? And who is the other party?"
Du Gu Yan let go of his arm, skipped a few steps forward, turned around, put her hands behind her back, and asked while walking backwards.
"No, I swore on my Martial Soul. Anyway, you'll know at the latest in the evening, don't ask so much. Let's go inside first, let me check the things you've prepared. This trip won't be short, so be well prepared."
Dugu Bo answered decisively, he didn't dare to let Broad Hill wait for him all the time, who knew if that guy would change his mind again.
"Okay."
Du Gu Yan said with a slight regret, but when she thought that her grandfather and herself would soon be treated, her mood suddenly improved a lot.
Hmm, and it's so mysterious, just like the adventures in those storybooks.
This feeling of excitement dispelled the rest of her emotions, making her couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Oh, hurry up, Grandpa."
At this time, Du Gu Yan felt that Dugu Bo, who was walking at a normal speed, was a bit slow. She trotted to his back, put her hands on his back, and actively pushed him towards the house.
"Okay, okay, listen to Yan Yan, Grandpa will walk faster." Dugu Bo quickened his pace with a smile.
"By the way, Yan Yan, remember to send someone to the academy to inform them, just say that I'm taking you for special training, um, let's ask for a month's leave first, we'll talk about it if it's not enough."
"Okay, I know, you go into the house quickly and see if I'm missing anything here. It's okay to have someone go to the academy to inform them when we leave, it doesn't matter."
"By the way, prepare more convenient clothes, the environment there is not as good as at home and in the academy."
The two walked into the house, but there was still a faint sound of conversation coming out.
