"Senior Dugu, hello! Yu Tianheng pays his respects!" Upon seeing his beloved's grandfather, Yu Tianheng was somewhat nervous, but he still behaved with neither arrogance nor inferiority. After all, he was the heir of the Third Clan of the Continent and couldn't afford to lose face for his family.
"Boy, you're hailed as the number one genius of your family's generation. Even that outstanding kid, Yu Tianxin, is said to be slightly inferior to you. But from what I see, you're nothing special, not even as good as a child who's not even nine years old." Dugu Bo glanced at Yu Tianheng and coldly mocked.
Yu Tianheng was momentarily embarrassed because what Dugu Bo said was true. He really couldn't beat Tianlin. He couldn't beat him back then, and now that Tianlin's level had increased, he was even less capable of doing so.
"Tian Heng's skills are inferior, making Your Excellency laugh. Compared to Xiao Tian, I really don't deserve the title of genius. In the future, I can only rely on hard work to make up for the gap." Yu Tianheng ultimately chose to admit it openly.
His words seemed somewhat negative, but they made Dugu Bo's eyes light up. If Yu Tianheng had shown emotions like dissatisfaction or rage just now, he would have looked down on him even more. A person who doesn't dare to admit defeat isn't worthy of being his granddaughter's husband. But he didn't expect him to be able to deal with it so calmly.
With a resilient and restrained temperament, hiding all unwillingness in his heart, outstanding talent, and an excellent family background, Dugu Bo admitted that the Yu Tianheng before him was indeed worthy of his Yan'er. Even he found it hard to find anything to criticize.
However, admitting it was one thing; wanting him to like Yu Tianheng would take another hundred years.
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, preparing to leave. Just then, Tianlin suddenly called out, "Senior Dugu, please wait. I have some things I'd like to discuss with you alone."
"Oh? What could a little brat like you have to say to me? Could it be that Sword Douluo has something he wants you to pass on to me?" Dugu Bo knew that Tianlin was Chen Xin's disciple, and that was the only thing he could think of.
Tianlin thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Master has a very important matter to entrust to me. When you come to the Academy to visit Sister Yanzi, if I'm fortunate enough to meet you, I'm to inform you. However, this matter is extremely confidential, so it needs to be conveyed in private."
He had no choice. If he said he had something to discuss himself, Dugu Bo would never believe him, after all, Tianlin was not even nine years old.
"Alright, kid, come with me!" Dugu Bo grabbed Tianlin, and with a flash, they disappeared without a trace. The speed was so fast that even Qin Ming, a Soul King, couldn't react in time.
The difference in strength between a Soul King and a Titled Douluo was indeed like a chasm.
Soon, Dugu Bo brought Tianlin to a small lake outside the Academy. "Kid, don't worry, there's no one else around here. Say whatever you need to say."
"Yes, Senior. May I ask, when it's rainy, how is the itching sensation in your ribs? Is it still constantly increasing?" Tianlin asked directly.
"What did you say?" Dugu Bo's eyes sharpened instantly.
Tianlin, however, seemed not to notice and continued to speak on his own, "Senior, your symptoms occur twice a day, at noon and midnight. With your current condition, each episode should last for at least an hour. Also, every night, around the third watch, you experience stabbing pain in the top of your head and your heart. Your whole body spasms for at least half an hour. Am I wrong?"
"You brat, shut your mouth!" Dugu Bo couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed Tianlin's neck.
This was his biggest secret, and no one knew about it. He wouldn't allow anyone to know, or if his enemies knew the time his symptoms flared up and took the opportunity to attack, he wouldn't have enough lives, no matter how many he had.
"Senior, you don't need to be angry. Since my Master asked me to convey this to you so openly, he naturally has no intention of harming you." Tianlin showed no sign of fear because he knew that Dugu Bo would never dare to kill him. After all, he had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind him, and Dugu Bo was a very cautious person.
Moreover, in Dugu Bo's mind, even if he killed Tianlin, it would be useless because he still thought that Chen Xin had discovered this and then asked Tianlin to pass it on to him. If he really killed Tianlin and angered Chen Xin, even if Chen Xin didn't take action himself, if he went outside and publicized his poisoning, he wouldn't have a good time.
Besides, as Tianlin said, after their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School learned about this, they should have contacted him as soon as possible without any malicious intent; otherwise, they could have killed him as easily as reaching into a bag to grab something when his poison flared up.
"Speak, what does your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School want to get from me in exchange for keeping this secret?" Dugu Bo put Tianlin down and asked in a deep voice.
"Senior, I have my own requests, but before that, please give me a chance to remove the poison from your body." Tianlin still wanted to save the person first and then ask for a reward, so that he could take the Immortal Herb with peace of mind.
"What did you say? You can remove the poison from my body? Kid, don't joke with me. Even your Master may not be able to do it." How could Dugu Bo easily believe the words of an eight-year-old child?
"My Master indeed can't do it, but I can. Senior, if you promise to keep what happens later a secret for me, I'm willing to prove it to you immediately." Tianlin knew that if he wanted Dugu Bo to believe him, he had to show some ability.
This piqued Dugu Bo's interest. He smiled faintly, "Alright, I can guarantee that as long as you can indeed prove it, tonight's events will be a secret known only to the two of us."
Tianlin nodded. He didn't need Dugu Bo to swear anything. Although this guy's reputation outside wasn't good, he was known throughout the continent for keeping his word.
"Holy Spirit Pearl, Holy Breath Barrier." Tianlin finally used his second Spirit in front of the fourth person.
"A pearl? But, isn't this child's Spirit a sword? Could this be, Twin Spirits!" Dugu Bo's face was horrified. The kid before him was already scary enough with his high level, and he was also a Twin Spirits. What kind of treasure had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School picked up?
Just then, as the barrier enveloped him, he suddenly felt as if the poison in his body had been alleviated, and his whole body felt indescribably relaxed.
"Senior, please sit down cross-legged and guide your spirit power according to my incantation!" Tianlin continued.
He chanted words, reciting a passage of incantation, which was created by Cao Gu and recorded in the Jade Balance Herb Classic, a method to suppress the poison within the body.
Dugu Bo was extremely sensitive when it came to poison, and he immediately felt the profoundness of this incantation. Without hesitation, he immediately sat down cross-legged and began to circulate his spirit power.
Under the dual suppression of the Holy Breath Barrier and the incantation, Dugu Bo's originally pale complexion improved, which was an unprecedented experience for him.
