Chapter 66: What a grand gesture!
Having killed Yu Yuanzhen in one battle, Dugu Bo is now very arrogant and full of confidence, with an air of daring to challenge any hero in the world.
In Heaven Dou City, he made no attempt to conceal his activities, and soon spies from various factions sent back news.
...
"What? Her Majesty Jade Phosphor isn't dead?"
"Quickly, lead the way! I must go immediately to congratulate His Majesty Dugu!"
Dugu Bo is still alive!
The person who was happiest upon hearing this news was Prince Xue Xing of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Dugu Bo's personal connections were already very valuable, which became his reliance for acting recklessly.
Now that Dugu Bo has achieved such brilliant results, the value of his favor has increased even further.
...
"Dugu Bo appeared on the streets of Heaven Dou with his granddaughter and a young man who appeared to be his granddaughter's husband?"
On the other side, after receiving the news, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe frowned and pondered in his room: "Ning Fengzhi and the two lords of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have both confirmed that Dugu Bo is dead. I didn't expect there to be such a twist in this matter."
A hoarse voice suddenly came from the darkness.
"Young Master, judging from the scene in Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo's poison is highly corrosive, and there is a high possibility that there is no trace of his body. Serpent Spear and I also misjudged the matter. Please punish us, Young Master."
Suddenly, an even deeper voice rang out from the darkness: "Please punish me, Young Master!"
Xue Qinghe gently shook his head: "Even Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo made a wrong judgment, so you can't be blamed for this."
"However, Dugu Bo not only evaded the eyes of the two titled members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but also brought two juniors with him."
Xue Qinghe's lips curled slightly, and a sense of appreciation for talent arose within him: "It seems we have all underestimated this Lord Jade Phosphor."
"Do you think it's possible to recruit him and use him for our purposes?"
After a long silence, a hoarse voice finally came from the darkness again: "Young Master, Dugu Bo is capricious and has a past relationship with Xue Xing, so I'm afraid he will be difficult to recruit."
"Dugu Bo has always been a loner. His only weakness is his granddaughter. If the young master is interested in recruiting her, he might be able to start from there."
Xue Qinghe gently shook his head, his star-like eyes gleaming with a sharp light: "I think the key might be the young man who suddenly appeared beside Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan!"
Although things have escalated to such a great extent, the root cause of it all is simply the conflict between this suddenly appearing boy and Yu Tianheng.
Dugu Bo was willing to fight against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for him, which shows that he was special.
"I need his information as quickly as possible!"
...
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
In the magnificent hall filled with jewels, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi and the two Title Douluos of the sect, whose soul power was above level 95, both looked somewhat embarrassed.
The three of them actually made the wrong judgment?
Dugu Bo was clearly still alive and well, but they confirmed his death.
"We have clearly searched that area thoroughly, but found no trace of it."
"If it were just Dugu Bo, it would be one thing, but even his granddaughter and grandson-in-law were completely unharmed."
"Could it be that Dugu Bo is hiding a spatial soul skill as a trump card?"
"If that's the case, then Dugu Bo has been hiding his true strength far too well!"
The three of them couldn't figure out how Dugu Bo, Su Lin, and the others had survived under those circumstances.
"Regardless, let's prepare one, no, three generous gifts to pay a visit to His Majesty Dugu."
Ning Fengzhi rubbed his temples. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had two titled members, it was actually not much stronger than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School.
Dugu Bo's current strength should not be underestimated; we must be cautious in our attitude towards him in the future.
If you can win them over, that would be best; if not, you must not offend them.
...
Although news of Dugu Bo's death has spread, his damaged mansion was still renovated and preserved by the Heaven Dou royal family, who also dispatched servants to maintain it.
Dugu Bo made no attempt to hide his intentions and immediately returned to the mansion with Su Lin and Dugu Yan. The first thing he did was dismiss all the servants.
It's not without reason that Dugu Bo is eccentric and strange. He never trusts even servants who lack soul power and never allows any outsiders to exist in his mansion.
"Your Majesty Dugu, Your Majesty Dugu..."
Without servants, visitors could only use this most primitive method to pay their respects.
"It's that old bastard Xue Xing's voice."
Dugu Bo's brows relaxed slightly: "Xue Xing saved my life, so I can't refuse to see him. If you're interested, you can meet him together; if not, then forget it."
If it were anyone else, Dugu Bo might not have given them face, but Xue Xing had saved his life, and he had never forgotten that kindness.
Su Lin gently took Dugu Yan's snow-white hand and said, "We'll be gone. Senior, just remember to mention Sunset Forest to him."
He intended to transform Sunset Forest into a new Blue Silver Forest, and the fact that a large area had been destroyed presented a good opportunity.
If we could leverage the power of the royal family to plant large tracts of Blue Silver Grass in Sunset Forest, this matter would be much simpler.
However, Su Lin had little interest in dealing with nobles and royalty like Xue Xing, and decided to leave it to Dugu Bo.
The housekeeper should also do some housekeeping duties.
...
Not long after, Xue Xing was sent away by Dugu Bo.
In reality, Dugu Bo didn't like dealing with people like Xue Xing, but he would give him some face since he had saved his life.
"The matter of Sunset Forest is a minor issue, but it depends on whether Xue Ye agrees and whether the Spirit Hall has other ideas."
Although it is within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall still has reasons to intervene in such habitats of soul beasts.
The two great empires were wary of the Spirit Hall for good reason; it did indeed influence the empires' power in many ways.
Su Lin nodded slightly: "At least this is half the battle won."
The possibility of the Spirit Hall intervening in this matter is indeed quite high. If that doesn't work, then they should consider contacting Qian Renxue.
Dugu Bo is now extremely popular. Xue Xing's visit was just the beginning, followed closely by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Dugu Bo couldn't treat them as casually as he treated Xue Xing.
"The situation was critical that day, and I was unable to save you all. I have felt guilty and uneasy these past few days, and I have been unable to sleep at night."
"I am overjoyed to see the three of you safe and sound today. Please accept this small gift."
Ning Fengzhi truly lived up to his title as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
At this moment, Su Lin knew that he could never fake the complex expression on his face, a mixture of guilt and joy.
Anyone who sees such a sincere apology would find it hard to harbor any ill will towards him.
"You're too kind, Sect Master Ning."
Dugu Bo glanced at the seven-colored gilded card that Ning Fengzhi had placed in the jade box, and his eyes widened in surprise.
Ten million Gold Soul Coins Card, that's a generous offer
