Chapter 2947: Departure_1

Yueguan, seeing this, interrupted loudly, "Old poison, what else do you have to say?"

The facts were right before his eyes, and he didn't believe the other party could provide an explanation!

Turning his head back, Du Gu Bo stared viciously at him and said through clenched teeth, "Chrysanthemum Guan, you've won!"

After all, he was the well-known Poison Douluo, and he was not one to break his word!

Seeing that the other party was not planning to renege, Yueguan licked his lips and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you call out Elder Ju for all to hear?"

He was already getting impatient!

Hearing this, Du Gu Bo suddenly became anxious, "You..."

Yueguan feigned surprise, "What? You're planning to go back on your word? That would damage the reputation of the Poison Douluo!"

Du Gu Bo suppressed his emotions, "Fine, I'll say it. It's just three simple words, after all. How could they trouble an old man like me!"

Yueguan didn't speak, just staring intently at the other party...

Feeling the pressure, the latter unintentionally clenched his fists, swallowing hard...

"Chrys... Chrys, Chry..."

After trying for a while, he simply couldn't get the last two words out...

Yueguan's expression gradually turned from expectant to impatient and he couldn't help but scold, "Old poison, are you going to say it or not?"

"If you're not going to say it, then forget it. Don't waste my time!"

"Who said I'm not going to say it? Listen closely!"

"Say it!!"

"I'm really going to say it!"

"Then get on with it!!"

Just as Du Gu Bo was about to speak again, a sudden voice interrupted him...

"Grandpa, what are you doing here??"

The speaker was none other than Dugu Yan, who had discovered them!

Du Gu Bo came back to his senses and said softly, "Yan Zi, you haven't gone out for so long, and I was worried about you, so I came to check on you!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan looked suspiciously at Yueguan beside her...

Wasn't he worried that grandpa would do something not in the interest of Spirit Hall?

Allowing him to come in was indeed something unexpected!!

Confronted with that gaze, Yueguan turned his head away impassively, clearly uninterested in answering.

Seeing this, Du Gu Bo changed the subject, "Yan Zi, weren't you looking to settle accounts with Xu Sheng? How did that go?"

He wanted to know if his granddaughter had developed feelings for Xu Sheng!

Dugu Yan revealed a pleased smile and nodded, "Grandpa, I've already cleared things up with Xu Sheng, and as for settling accounts, there's no need!"

Du Gu Bo had a foreboding feeling but still pressed on, "That... That's how it is, then what do you think of Xu Sheng?"

Dugu Yan frowned slightly, looking puzzled, "Grandpa, what do you mean by asking this? Why are you asking this question?"

In her memory, Du Gu Bo was not the kind of person who loved prying into others' secrets!

Du Gu Bo waved his hand, "It means nothing. Grandpa is just a bit curious about what kind of person Xu Sheng is!

"Since you've interacted with him, you must have a clear understanding of him!"

Hearing this, the former finally showed a look of realization...

Then, with panic in her voice, she replied, "Grandpa, actually, I have misunderstood Xu Sheng all along!"

"He is both gentle and strong, not as bad as I imagined..."

As she was speaking, the image of Xu Sheng smiling at her surfaced in her mind, causing her ears to turn burning hot...

Du Gu Bo's gaze deepened a bit, "Then... compared with your team captain, Yu Tianheng, who is more outstanding?"

Dugu Yan was stunned, "This... whether it's Tian Heng or Xu Sheng, they are both very excellent Soul Masters!"

```

"To be honest, I can't even tell myself who is more outstanding!"

Having received this answer, Du Gu Bo already had his own conclusion...

Usually, when asking this question, Yan Zi would almost instantly say Yu Tianheng's name without a second thought!

But now, she actually hesitated!

Thinking of this, he didn't ask any more questions, "Is that so? Since that's the case, it's getting late, we should leave!"

Dugu Yan, who was very satisfied with this trip, naturally had no objections, "Mm!"

Yueguan couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Old Poison, I'll give you face because of your granddaughter's presence, the bet we made before, let's fulfill it next time!"

Next time, I must find a place with lots of people and a big audience!

And make him embarrass himself properly!!

Du Gu Bo didn't refuse and casually replied, "That's perfect, it also gives me some time to prepare!"

Saying those three words from his own mouth was really asking too much of him!!

...

The next day!

Heaven Dou Royal Academy!!

Seeing that Dugu Yan had returned safely, Shi Mo and the others all breathed a sigh of relief...

Shi Mo was the first to speak, "Yan Zi, it's good that you came back safely, we even thought something happened to you!"

Shi Mo nodded in agreement, "Yeah, if it had been any later, even Tian Heng might not have been able to resist going to look for you!"

Yu Tianheng glared at them both and retorted, "Shi Mo, Shi Mo, what are you talking about? I always believed that Yan Zi would be fine!"

Then he turned to Dugu Yan, "Yan Zi, nothing happened when you went to Martial Soul City this time, right?"

Even though it was just one day apart, he couldn't express how worried he was!

Dugu Yan softly "Mm'ed" in response...

Then she added, "With Grandpa accompanying me, nothing happened, and moreover, I saw Xu Sheng!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng pondered, "So, he really is a member of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation..."

"Yan Zi, did you figure out Xu Sheng's real strength?"

Dugu Yan shook her head...

Yu Tianheng felt somewhat disappointed, but it was fleeting...

"I see, well, never mind then. Knowing he's a member of the Golden Generation, we'll surely have the opportunity to face off again in the future!!"

Dugu Yan, for some reason, didn't feel like continuing the conversation...

She said offhandedly, "Tian Heng, you guys go on talking, I'm going to see Teacher Qin for a bit, he must be quite worried about me!"

Yu Tianheng didn't think much of it, "Mm, we'll see you later then!"

Having received an answer, Dugu Yan turned and left...

Once she had gone, the ever-silent Yu Feng couldn't help but remind, "Tian Heng, I always feel that Yan Zi is acting a bit strange, she's quite different from usual, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is!"

Shi Mo said in surprise, "Huh, I thought I was the only one who felt that way. Yan Zi usually can't wait to be by Tian Heng's side, why is she in such a hurry to leave now?"

Shi Mo propped up his chin, "Think about it carefully, it is a bit strange, could it be that Yan Zi was deceiving us? That something unpleasant happened in Martial Soul City?"

"Let's not jump to conclusions, maybe Yan Zi just doesn't want to make Teacher Qin worry!"

Despite saying this, his heart couldn't calm down...

Because he, too, keenly noticed the change in Dugu Yan!

Her attitude towards him seemed to have become somewhat cold???
