Douluo's Holy Lord at the Start

Chapter 40: Dugu Bo Arrives

After Xue Qinghe returned, he sent people to investigate who the person Gu Rong was protecting was. He was extremely curious, because anyone who could be protected by a Super Douluo was either a genius or a monster.

When did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School produce such a peerless genius?

"Um, young master, there's not much useful information yet."

Furthermore, we discovered a strange problem: according to intelligence from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Gu Rong had never left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Snake Spear scratched his head. They had just returned, and the information they had obtained from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was mostly basic daily news.

What's strange is that those people actually said that Gu Rong had never left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Could it be that the ancient banyan tree they saw that day was fake?

"Never left?"

What's wrong with those informants? How could they make mistakes on such basic intelligence?

It seems the Spirit Hall is declining more and more under that woman's control.

Qian Renxue naturally didn't think that She Long's judgment was flawed. Since it wasn't She Long's problem, then it must be an error in the intelligence.

It's not surprising that the informants made a mistake. Gu Rong and Gu Xuan had been away from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for less than a day. Around 10 a.m., they went to the Sunset Forest, spent some time searching for soul beasts, caught one, and ran away. They absorbed the essence for no more than three minutes before flying back the same way.

We arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at only 6 PM, which was incredibly fast.

This situation doesn't look like someone taking someone out to hunt a soul beast at all.

This intelligence network either has a major problem, or one of the ancient banyan trees is definitely fake.

If that's the case, he's more inclined to believe that the ancient banyan tree in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is fake, since it's a substitute, and he's very good at it.

"This Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School seems to be quite formidable. I'll find an opportunity to visit them and probe their capabilities someday."

Xue Qinghe stroked his chin, and then thought of that eccentric little brat. He was clearly a child, but he acted like a little adult, behaving in a mature and unlovable way...

As Xue Qinghe pondered, his eyes gradually became blurry, and then he fell asleep on the desk with the memorial in his hand.

She Long emerged from the shadows, looked at the sleeping Xue Qinghe, and sighed. His young master was just too serious about his work.

Playing the role of a prince can be completely delegated to a stand-in once you're in the palace, and the same goes for handling state affairs.

But Xue Qinghe refused to do it and insisted on handling it himself.

They exhausted themselves and even neglected their cultivation. This Soul Hunt was a little time they squeezed out of their busy schedules.

In his opinion, his young master was too miserable and too foolish.

She took a blanket and gently covered Xue Qinghe with it. After doing all this, She Long disappeared into the shadows and left the Crown Prince's residence through a secret passage.

The ancient banyan tree here accompanied Ning Fengzhi on his journey across the continent in search of gem soul bones, and the price it offered was absolutely fair.

In no time, the whole continent knew that Ning Fengzhi was searching for gemstone soul bones.

Ning Fengzhi knew that doing so could make those who possessed gemstone soul bones extremely valuable, but he had no other choice.

He can't hide it from those who are truly interested in investigating.

So instead of sneaking around, it's better to openly let the entire Douluo Continent know that their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is searching for gemstone soul bones.

With the high price offered by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was confident that he would be able to acquire enough soul bones.

Sure enough, not long after acquiring a gemstone right leg bone from the Heavenly Dou Royal Family, Ning Fengzhi received news of another gemstone head soul bone.

Sometimes you have to admire the power of these major forces. In just a few days, under the massive operation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi has almost collected a complete set of gem soul bones.

Ning Fengzhi was stirring up trouble on the continent, but on this day, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School welcomed a guest.

Dugu Bo put his hands behind his back and looked at the luxurious Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with an arrogant expression.

Although he secretly envied the prosperity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he didn't care. If he wanted, he could kill all but the Title Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School at any time.

The gatekeeper of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was quite knowledgeable. Upon seeing that it was Dugu Bo, he immediately reported to Chen Xin.

As the guardian elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Gu Rong and Chen Xin need to have a titled Douluo stay behind to guard the school under any circumstances.

Otherwise, any strong individual could easily wipe out the core members and high-ranking members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is a bunch of weaklings.

brush!

A sword light descended from the sky, and after landing, it subsided into a sword shadow which Chen Xin absorbed into his body.

Those watching Dugu Bo quickly made room for the two of them when Chen Xin arrived.

Dugu Bo's reputation is so great that being around him is incredibly stressful.

"You old poisoner, what are you doing here at my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School instead of staying in Heaven Dou City?"

Chen Xin looked at Dugu Bo with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

After all, what kind of noble and virtuous person could be someone who can get along with Xue Xing?

Although he didn't hate them, he absolutely didn't want to have any relationship with them.

You think I came here to see you?

I'm here to see my young master.

Dugu Bo said with an arrogant expression.

"Your young master?"

"What are you doing bringing your young master to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has never received your young master before."

A hint of doubt flashed in Chen Xin's eyes.

Dugu Bo was known for his carefree and independent nature. He refused the invitation from the Spirit Hall to join them, and was even chased for more than 800 miles by Chrysanthemum Douluo. He was only saved by Xue Xing.

How could someone like that one day recognize someone as his young master?

Absolutely amazing!

"Hmph, you don't know this, the young master I recognize is Gu Xuan."

Dugu Bo looked arrogant, as if acknowledging Gu Xuan as his young master was a great honor.

"Gu Xuan!?"

Chen Xin stared at Dugu Bo in disbelief, feeling as if she had gone deaf.

Dugu Bo is an old man who is over a hundred years old. Why would he recognize a young boy as his young master?

"It's none of your business. This is the young master I swore an oath with my martial spirit. If I hadn't given you some face, I would have just barged in."

Dugu Bo said in a nonchalant manner.

Chen Xin looked at Dugu Bo carefully and found that he did not show any signs of deceiving her.

There was absolutely no way that Dugu Bo and Gu Xuan knew each other before, since neither of them had ever gone out.

So there is only one explanation.

That is, Gu Xuan encountered Dugu Bo in the previous Soul Hunting event and then brought him into his fold.

"This old man and Xiao Xuan actually managed to do this without making a sound."

Chen Xin thought to himself, somewhat surprised.

Then his expression gradually turned forlorn. When did Gu Rong start having his own little thoughts?

Even he, who had cultivated with her his whole life, didn't know these things.

It seems that Gu Rong really has some issues with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and with him.
