Chapter 307 Breaking Up a Couple: A Duty That Cannot Be Shirked
He was holding the roasted rabbit that Dugu Yan had handed him.
Ye Qifeng first nodded to Gui Mei and Dugu Bo, and then was pulled by Ruiwen to sit next to her.
Dugu Yan walked over gracefully and sat down on the other side of Ye Qifeng, taking small bites of rabbit meat.
She is elegant, dignified, and virtuous.
But her shimmering, autumn-water-like emerald eyes kept involuntarily glancing at Ye Qifeng, then shyly looking away, only to glance back again, then look away once more.
This cycle repeats itself endlessly, coming and going.
Ye Qifeng, with his keen senses, had already noticed and observed Dugu Yan's subtle actions.
Considering Dugu Yan's strange behavior over the past few days, even if Ye Qifeng was slow to understand, he had a general idea of what she was thinking.
It seems that Dugu Yan has taken a liking to him.
Ye Qifeng had no choice; after all, he was so handsome and attracted so many women.
Ye Qifeng couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
It seems I can only find some time to have a good talk with Dugu Yan and try to find a way to make her give up this idea.
After all, Ye Qifeng's favorite person was still his peerless teacher, Bibi Dong.
anyway.
Shouldn't Dugu Yan's crush be Yu Tianheng of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Why is she suddenly interested in herself?
So, she wasn't dating Yu Tianheng yet at this time?
Hey, that's great news!
Despite his mixed feelings, Ye Qifeng couldn't help but feel a little happy.
After all, Dugu Yan is a genius nurtured with celestial herbs, and it is no problem for her to become a Limit Douluo in the future. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she has the potential to become a god.
Such a genius, if he were to be snatched away by that bastard Yu Tianheng, Ye Qifeng would be heartbroken.
and so.
We still need to be careful.
So as not to let Dugu Yan be captured by that scoundrel Yu Tianheng and end up as his bride.
The best course of action would be to sever the ties and connections between Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng beforehand, and cut off their relationship.
There's a saying that goes something like that.
It is our duty to break up a loving couple!
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Ye Qifeng temporarily suppressed them, planning to discuss them with Dugu Yan in detail at a better opportunity.
After sitting down in a circle.
Ye Qifeng took a few bites of the roasted rabbit, his mouth filled with its aroma, then turned his gaze to Dugu Bo across from him, who wore a mysterious smile, and asked in a surprised tone:
"Senior Dugu Bo, wasn't your beard and hair already back to black? Why have they turned green again?"
Not long ago, Dugu Bo practiced poison techniques tirelessly for three days and three nights, completely removing the toxins from his body and condensing them into poison pills. As a result, his soul power also increased to level ninety-two.
Moreover, his beard and hair have turned gray again, and except for his eyes, the green color of his body has basically faded away.
Subsequently, he consumed the celestial herb, Snow Swan Kiss, which propelled his soul power to level 95, making him a genuine Super Douluo.
at the same time.
Dugu Bo's beard and hair, which had turned from green to gray, also turned black again, making him look much younger.
The base lifespan of a Title Douluo is two hundred years, and the lifespan increases by one hundred years for each level of soul power.
Dugu Bo originally had little life left due to the severe backlash from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom. Now, he has not only resolved the problem of the venom backlash, but has also broken through to the Super Douluo realm with a soul power level of 95. His lifespan has increased from less than a hundred years to six hundred years.
In this way, it's hard not to look young.
"Haha, Holy Son, although I also like looking young, I feel that my original look suits me better, so I dyed my beard and hair green again."
Faced with Ye Qifeng's doubts, Dugu Bo laughed and gave a simple explanation.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qifeng immediately understood.
It seems that Dugu Bo still prefers his original attire, perhaps because he feels it is more intimidating, and therefore he specially dyed his beard and hair back to their original green.
That's why Dugu Bo is said to have an eccentric personality; even his aesthetic sense is so unique.
This was something Ye Qifeng hadn't expected.
"I dress like this not only because I like it, but also to avoid attracting attention and causing trouble."
At this point, Dugu Bo added an explanation:
"After all, I have changed so much in such a short time, and I look so young. If outsiders saw this, it would inevitably arouse suspicion."
"Also, I want to give my old rival a surprise."
Hearing Dugu Bo's previous words, Ye Qifeng nodded in agreement, but when he heard his last sentence, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Ye Qifeng looked at Dugu Bo with a strange expression:
"Senior, you're not planning to cause trouble for Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking...
The ghost sitting next to him instantly turned to look at Dugu Bo, his eyes filled with coldness and killing intent, while his powerful soul force subtly surged, as if he was about to launch an attack at any moment.
Yue Guan is his long-time partner, with whom he has worked for over sixty years, and their relationship is even stronger than that of blood brothers.
When he heard Dugu Bo say that he was going to cause trouble for his old partner Yue Guan, Gui Mei couldn't pretend he hadn't heard it.
With the help of the Holy Son, Dugu Bo is now a Super Douluo with a Soul Power of Level 95.
Meanwhile, his old partner Yue Guan is still stuck at the peak of level 94 in soul power and has not broken through. He is probably no match for Dugu Bo. If he were to fight Dugu Bo, he would likely suffer a great loss.
So when Gui Mei heard Dugu Bo say he was going to cause trouble for Yue Guan, he immediately got angry.
Noticing the ghostly gaze directed at him and sensing the murderous intent within it, Dugu Bo felt a chill run down his spine and a sense of embarrassment.
He had gotten a little too excited and completely forgot that Ju Douluo Yueguan's old partner, Gui Mei, was right there. He accidentally let slip that Gui Mei had overheard him.
Fortunately, Ye Qifeng reached out in time, and Chong Guimei shook his head slightly to stop him, making him retract the soul power that was about to erupt.
Then Ye Qifeng looked at Dugu Bo and asked:
"Senior Dugu Bo, I heard you have a grudge against Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather in surprise.
All she knew was that her grandfather had a grudge against the Spirit Hall, but she didn't know who that grudge was with.
This is the first time I've heard that the person who has a grudge against my grandfather is none other than the famous Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, who is renowned throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
Then Dugu Yan turned her head and glanced at Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, who was shrouded in a black robe and exuded a mysterious and eerie aura. She knew that Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan were partners and had a very good relationship.
This made her feel a little worried about her grandfather.
Raven was still young, and she looked around, somewhat confused, but her cute little ears were already perked up with curiosity.
"That's right. Those are all old stories! That androgynous, weird, seductive slut's stinking chrysanthemum—one day I'll crush it. Humph!"
Dugu Bo nodded, regardless of whether Gui Mei was present or not. Just thinking about what happened back then made him grit his teeth.
"Uh, by the way, how did you two become enemies?"
Ye Qifeng hesitated slightly before asking.
"Since Your Highness wants to know, I'll tell you. Many people know this, and I'm not afraid of losing face."
Looking around at the group, Dugu Bo recalled for a moment, then continued:
"That was more than ten years ago. I remember it. I had just been promoted to Title Douluo and was still traveling around the Douluo Continent."
"Until one day, Juhua Guan led a Spirit Hall enforcement team and suddenly appeared in front of me. As soon as we met, he used his ninth spirit skill on me without saying a word."
"Caught off guard, I was seriously injured, but I was not without the ability to fight back. After a struggle, I managed to escape, but by then I was critically injured and on the verge of death."
"Fortunately, I happened to meet Prince Xuexing, who was traveling, and he saved my life. I have no way to repay his life-saving grace. So, at Prince Xuexing's invitation, I took on the position of guest elder of the Tiandou royal family, and I still do so now."
"So... it was Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan who attacked you first? Why did he suddenly attack you?"
Ye Qifeng asked with a slight frown.
"Who knows what got into him? I didn't even know him back then. It was completely inexplicable; he just came out with a powerful attack. That damn chrysanthemum has no sportsmanship; how dare he treat me like this? I'll fight him to the death!"
Dugu Bo's face was ashen. He cursed a few times before continuing:
"Later I learned from others that he was the famous newly promoted Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan. He was promoted to the Title Douluo realm a year or two earlier than me."
"However, as for why he suddenly attacked me, it must be because I refused to join the Spirit Hall. Considering the Spirit Hall's past domineering behavior, eliminating those who don't join isn't surprising."
Ye Qifeng didn't find anything wrong with Dugu Bo's accusation that the Spirit Hall acted domineeringly.
Even the ghosts and demons had nothing to say.
After all, at that time, the Spirit Hall was ruled by Qian Xunji, who was arrogant and eccentric, and his actions were indeed domineering.
But there is a big problem with this.
That is, Dugu Bo is a Title Douluo. Even if he does not agree to join the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall would not risk going against a Title Douluo by provoking him, let alone attacking him.
Even if Qian Xunji were incredibly stupid, he would never issue such an order.
The sudden attack on Dugu Bo was probably an act of Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan acting on his own initiative. However, Chrysanthemum Douluo is not the type to attack others without a reason, and besides, he did not know Dugu Bo at the time, and there was no enmity between them.
Based on what I heard from Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan before I left Wuhun City to travel.
Ye Qifeng quickly came to a conclusion.
There must be some hidden story behind this.
It is highly likely that Ju Douluo Yueguan and Dugu Bo were plotted against.
With this in mind, Ye Qifeng immediately looked at Dugu Bo and raised his objection:
"This doesn't make sense. Based on my understanding of Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, he's not the kind of person who attacks others without reason."
"Regarding the grudge between you, I once asked Chrysanthemum Douluo. According to him, he was leading a team on a mission when the team was ambushed and poisoned, resulting in the deaths of many people."
"And the poison that the Spirit Hall personnel were poisoned with was precisely the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Serpent."
"As you know, senior, the Jade Phosphorus Serpent Venom is your specialty. It just so happens that you appeared in front of Chrysanthemum Douluo, and he believes that you did it, so he targeted you."
Dugu Bo retorted angrily:
"He's talking nonsense! When have I ever harmed anyone from the Spirit Hall? Although I am a Poison Spirit Master, I have always acted openly and fairly."
"Besides, with his small fry under his command, if I really wanted to take action, would I leave so many of them behind? Could he stop me?"
Ye Qifeng nodded slightly, agreeing with Dugu Bo's statement.
Dugu Bo was unparalleled in the world for his poisons.
Among the titled Douluo, he is most skilled in group attacks.
Before meeting Ye Qifeng, although he was jokingly called the weakest Title Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent, no one could match his poison in terms of wide-range lethality.
There is a saying that perfectly encapsulates Dugu Bo's intimidating power.
That is--
Among the titled Douluo, he can't beat anyone in a one-on-one fight, but he can kill his opponent until only a titled Douluo remains.
"Then there's a problem."
Ye Qifeng rested his chin on his hand and pondered:
"The accounts of Senior Dugu Bo and Chrysanthemum Douluo don't match up. Based on my understanding of Chrysanthemum Douluo, he wouldn't lie."
"I'm not lying."
Dugu Bo also quickly spoke up to emphasize this.
At this moment, the ghost that had been listening quietly suddenly broke the silence and spoke:
"Chrysanthemum told me about this matter. He also had some doubts afterward and investigated it carefully. But all the evidence he obtained in the end pointed out that Dugu Bo was the culprit who secretly poisoned the Spirit Hall's law enforcement team members."
"However, Chrysanthemum expressed doubts, believing that something was amiss and that Dugu Bo was likely not the mastermind."
"Since Juhua Guan has doubts, why doesn't he clear things up for me?"
Dugu Bo interrupted Gui Mei's words, his tone full of displeasure.
"Maybe he just doesn't like you?"
Ghostly glanced at Dugu Bo with a veiled look in his eyes, and said calmly:
"Chrysanthemum originally intended to investigate this thoroughly, but who told you to keep causing trouble for him all this time?"
"It's because you annoyed him that he became too lazy to investigate further, and that's why the matter was settled."
"You expect chrysanthemums to clear your name for this?"
"Ah, this..." Dugu Bo was speechless for a moment. So it was because of him that Juhua Pass gave up the investigation?
But then I realized that he was the victim.
Dugu Bo instantly felt righteous and sneered:
"Heh, if he hadn't attacked me out of nowhere, would I have gone looking for trouble with him?"
Looking up at Dugu Bo, Gui Mei became more talkative for the sake of his old partner Yue Guan:
"Aside from the first time he attacked you, it seems like Chrysanthemum hasn't provoked you since. Every time, it's you who comes to cause him trouble."
"Besides, if Chrysanthemum hadn't felt somewhat guilty for attacking you rashly and hadn't intentionally let you go in the subsequent battles, do you think you, a Title Douluo with a soul power of level 91, could have defeated him? Could you have survived until now?"
"Heh, you think I'm afraid of him?"
Dugu Bo stubbornly retorted.
Thank you [Kefei] for the 200 Qidian Coins!
