In a hotel in Tiandou Imperial City, Ye Suling and others gathered around Dugu Bo when they saw him return after more than an hour.
"Senior, was there a problem?"
Ye Suling asked curiously. Logically, with Dugu Bo's current strength as a Level 93 Titled Douluo, it shouldn't have taken him that long!
"I discovered two groups of people this time. Among them, two mysterious Titled Douluo infiltrated my residence. Their target was Xiao Chen, but after not finding Xiao Chen, the two Titled Douluo eventually left. I didn't want to conflict with them, so I could only hide in the dark and wait for them to leave."
"The other group of people should be Prince Xue Xing's. There was one Spirit Saint, three Spirit Emperors, and four Spirit Kings among them. They split into two groups and infiltrated our two residences, but I dealt with all of them."
"Fortunately, Xiao Chen had anticipated all of this beforehand and had us leave early. Otherwise, if we had encountered those two Titled Douluo, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Dugu Bo recounted what he had encountered to Ye Suling and the others, especially the involvement of two mysterious Titled Douluo, which made Ye Suling and the others feel even more afraid.
"Senior Dugu, the waters of Heaven Dou City are too deep."
"That's right! Ye Clan Leader, Xiao Chen mentioned before that once the Spirit curse on you and Lingling is lifted and word gets out, you will definitely be targeted by major Sects."
"Tomorrow morning, we will immediately disguise ourselves as ordinary Spirit Masters and, after meeting up with Xiao Chen and the others, quickly leave this troublesome place."
"Senior, we will all follow your arrangements."
With mysterious Titled Douluo involved, everyone was very nervous. At this moment, Dugu Bo and the Ye Family remained vigilant and did not rest.
The next morning, the group split into two teams, disguised as merchants, bought two carriages, and headed towards the west of Heaven Dou City.
At the same time, in a luxurious suite on the top floor of the Blue Moon Hotel, Ye Liangchen and the two girls had already woken up and then went down to the restaurant downstairs to buy three breakfasts.
After breakfast, Ye Liangchen and the two girls waited for more than an hour, but Dugu Bo's figure still hadn't appeared.
"Xiao Chen Didi, why haven't Grandpa and the others arrived yet?"
Dugu Yan was very anxious at this moment, fearing that something might have happened to her Grandpa and the others.
"Yan Jie, don't worry, they have already arrived on the street where the hotel is located."
Just then, Ye Liangchen sensed with his divine sense that two carriages appeared on the street a thousand meters away from the hotel, and he quickly sensed the auras of Dugu Bo and Ye Suling.
"Where are they?"
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan ran to the window and looked down at the street, but found nothing.
"No need to look, they are still a thousand meters away from here."
Ye Liangchen closed his eyes at this moment and discovered that besides Ye Suling, there were also 18 Spirit Masters in the Ye Family, though their strength was not high.
"Xiao Chen Didi, you can sense things from a thousand meters away?"
The two girls looked at Xiao Jiahuo, who had his eyes closed, with waves of what looked like mental force emanating from him, wondering what kind of monster this Xiao Jiahuo was.
"My mental force can detect everything within three thousand meters, so it's not surprising to find Senior Dugu and the others."
Ye Liangchen had already cultivated the Refining Spirit Art to the fourth layer. Coupled with the Good Fortune Pill and the Autumn Water Dew he used in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well some time ago, it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the fifth layer. At that time, he would be able to launch divine soul attacks. Powerful individuals whose mental force wasn't strong enough, if they encountered his divine soul attack, might become vegetative.
"You can sense everything three thousand meters away, Xiao Chen Didi, how is your mental force so powerful? Did you absorb a head Spirit Bone?"
The two girls felt that Xiao Jiahuo was too monstrous. No wonder he dared to venture into the Sunset Forest alone before.
"Two older sisters, my mental force is very strong, so don't be too surprised! Senior Dugu and the others have arrived, we should set off."
Ye Liangchen reminded the two girls to quickly pack their things; it was time to depart.
"Xiao Chen, we'll wait for you on the official road 500 meters outside the Blue Moon Hotel."
Just then, Dugu Bo's voice reached Ye Liangchen's ears.
Ye Liangchen went to the window and indeed saw an ordinary old man standing on the rooftop next to the hotel, looking in their direction, and then immediately flew forward.
"Two older sisters, let's go."
Ye Liangchen called the two girls to quickly go downstairs, check out of the room, and after walking out of the Blue Moon Hotel, they saw two carriages parked on the official road several hundred meters away from the hotel. Dugu Bo and Ye Suling, dressed in ordinary clothes, stood outside the first carriage, waving to the three. Behind them were two old men, looking at Ye Liangchen curiously.
"Senior Dugu, Aunt Ye, you've arrived." Ye Liangchen greeted the two elders.
"Xiao Chen, quickly get in the carriage, we need to leave Heaven Dou City's sphere of influence as soon as possible."
Dugu Bo motioned for them to quickly get into the carriage and instructed the servants to drive away.
"Thump-thump-thump..."
The two carriages galloped along the official road leading to Beiyuan Province, constantly making the sound of horse hooves.
Inside the carriage, Ye Suling saw that Ye Liangchen had already changed into the appearance of another young man with a mask, and her daughter and Dugu Yan had also disguised themselves, wearing glasses and sun hats. She thought these three Xiao Jiahuo were truly cautious.
"You three Xiao Jiahuo are quite good at hiding."
Looking at her daughter wearing glasses, exuding an intellectual beauty, Ye Suling felt very good.
"Mom, since we're with Xiao Chen Didi, we naturally have to learn to disguise ourselves."
"I feel it's very fun, and a little exciting."
The two girls giggled and took off their sun hats and glasses. In front of their elders, there was no need to hide.
"Yan Yan, Lingling, we older generations can't protect you forever. Sooner or later, you will have to establish yourselves in the world. From now on, learn more from Xiao Chen, that's how you can protect yourselves."
Dugu Bo spoke earnestly to the two girls, especially his granddaughter. He had protected her too well before, leaving her with no experience in the world, always like a child who wouldn't grow up.
"Grandpa! Grandpa Dugu, we understand." The two girls nodded; they had to listen to the elder's teachings.
"Aunt Ye, are these two seniors from your family?"
Ye Liangchen looked at the two high-level Spirit Kings, guessing that they were the only remaining high-level combatants of the Ye Family. No wonder the Ye Family had declined.
"Xiao Chen, let me introduce you. These two are my third uncle and fourth uncle, named Ye Shan and Ye Lin. In the carriage behind, there are six middle-aged men and women, who are Lingling's uncles and aunts, and the remaining ten are their children."
"All the powerful battle Spirit Masters of our Ye Family died in the open and secret struggles with various forces, leaving only these old, weak, and disabled soldiers."
Ye Suling introduced the remaining Spirit Masters of her family to Ye Liangchen, with a hint of sadness on her face.
"Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Xiao Chen is the person we are going to rely on, and he is also the one who solved the problem of our Nine Star Begonia Spirit curse." Ye Suling introduced Ye Liangchen to her two uncles.
"Thank you, little brother, for saving our Ye Family. From now on, we will call you Chen Shao! If you have anything you need in the future, just tell us. We two old men are willing to serve Chen Shao."
Although Ye Lin and Ye Shan were grandfather-level elders, they dared not put on airs in front of Ye Liangchen. This Xiao Jiahuo, at 12 years old, had already reached Level 49 spirit power, making them feel far behind.
"Two seniors, there's no need to be so formal, right?"
Two old men over seventy years old, calling him Chen Shao right away, this was too exaggerated.
"Xiao Chen, you saved our Ye Family, and now we are joining your force. Strictly speaking, I should also call you Chen Shao." Ye Suling said with a chuckle.
"Chen Shao, from now on, all of us will rely on you."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling chimed in from the side, also thinking that the title Chen Shao was very good.
"It is my honor that the two seniors think highly of me, but please rest assured, I guarantee that everyone will be able to live a carefree life from now on."
Ye Liangchen promised Ye Shan and Ye Lin that he would not disappoint them. The Ye Family brought a total of 18 Spirit Masters this time, which could be considered his core group. He would have to improve their strength later.
"Senior Dugu, did any strong individuals infiltrate your residence last night?" Ye Liangchen asked Dugu Bo, who was beside him.
"Nothing escapes your calculations, kid. Two mysterious Titled Douluo infiltrated my residence, and their target should have been to capture you. They eventually left, and I didn't conflict with them. After those two Titled Douluo left, a total of 8 people, divided into two waves, infiltrated the Ye Family and my home, but I dealt with all of them. Those eight people should have been sent by Prince Xue Xing."
Dugu Bo told Ye Liangchen about what happened last night, feeling incredibly perilous. If Xiao Jiahuo hadn't made arrangements in advance, the consequences would have been truly troublesome.
Upon learning that two mysterious Titled Douluo had infiltrated the Du Gu Family residence to capture him, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were extremely shocked.
"Fortunately, Xiao Chen Didi was clever and said that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Prince Xue Xing and the others never expected that we would be hiding outside Heaven Dou Academy."
"Xiao Chen Didi's 'hiding in plain sight' trick really works."
The two girls looked at Ye Liangchen, who had a calm expression beside them, wondering what was in Xiao Jiahuo's head to be so smart.
Mysterious Titled Douluo infiltrating Dugu Bo's home to capture him?
Ye Liangchen knew those two were Snake Lance and Porcupinefish from Spirit Hall. How dare that foolish woman Qian Renxue still send Titled Douluo? Isn't she afraid they'll be killed? Three strikes and you're out. If that foolish woman dares to send those two guys to trouble him again, he'll just snipe them with his Barrett MK22.
"Xiao Chen, did anything happen to you three last night?"
Ye Suling, seeing Ye Liangchen deep in thought, asked curiously.
"Mom, we ate well, slept well, and nothing happened at all."
"Xiao Chen Didi even gave me a Twenty-Three-Thousand Year torso Spirit Bone. I now have flying abilities."
Before Ye Liangchen could reply, Ye Lingling, beside him, quickly answered, also mentioning that Ye Liangchen had given her a Spirit Bone, which greatly surprised Dugu Bo and the others.
"Twenty-Three-Thousand Year torso Spirit Bone? Xiao Chen, could it be from the Golden Eagle Spirit Beast you killed?" Dugu Bo looked at Ye Liangchen beside him, thinking that Xiao Jiahuo was truly a rich man.
"Grandpa, it's the Spirit Bone from that Golden Eagle Spirit Beast. Xiao Chen Didi's luck is truly good. After Lingling absorbed the Spirit Bone, a pair of golden wings appeared behind her, and her spirit power even increased by one level..."
Dugu Yan explained the Spirit Bone's skills to everyone, which made Ye Suling and the two old men of the Ye Family feel a little embarrassed. This Xiao Jiahuo was too generous.
"Xiao Chen, how can we repay such a great kindness? Why don't I just let my daughter marry you?"
"Chen Shao, we also think the Clan Leader's suggestion is very good. Our Lingling is beautiful and only two or three years older than you, which is quite suitable."
Ye Suling and the two old men looked at Ye Liangchen with chuckles, their faces showing an aunt-like smile, especially Ye Suling, whose expression was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, finding him more and more interesting.
Ye Lingling, hearing her mother and two grandpas say this, immediately blushed deeply, burying her head in her chest, not daring to look at anyone.
"Xiao Chen, Yan Yan is also good. She's beautiful and has a good figure. Although she's 5 years older than you, as the saying goes, 'a wife three years older brings golden bricks.' I don't think it's a big problem. Do you want to consider it?" Dugu Bo also chuckled, staring at Ye Liangchen, promoting his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, don't say anymore."
Dugu Yan felt that her Grandpa was too unreliable. Why did he keep pushing his granddaughter out, as if she couldn't get married?
"Don't say that, seniors. It's just a Ten-Thousand Year Spirit Bone, no need to take it to heart."
"Now that everyone has joined my force, it's only right that I help everyone become stronger."
Ye Liangchen was speechless about these people who kept offering their daughters and granddaughters.
"Hehe...! We'll talk about future matters later. Let's continue on our way first!"
Ye Suling smiled, looking at Ye Liangchen beside her, thinking that Xiao Jiahuo was only 12 years old and was raised by Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue. Perhaps those two sisters had already arranged Xiao Jiahuo's life events. However, her daughter would be spending a long time with Xiao Jiahuo in the future, so there would always be opportunities. Ye Suling felt there was great hope, and sooner or later, she would become Xiao Jiahuo's mother-in-law.
