Chapter 2909: Xue Xing_1

```

Unable to persuade the other party, Yu Tianheng had no choice but to resort to his last tactic, "Yan Zi, you wouldn't want me to remain in the shadows after something happens to you, would you?"

"So, even if it's for my sake, don't get close to that Xu Sheng!"

Dugu Yan was stunned, "This..."

Undoubtedly, this sentence left her not knowing what to say...

Just then, Qin Ming suddenly opened the door, curiosity on his face, "Yan Zi, Tian Heng, what are you talking about here?"

Seeing Qin Ming arrive, Dugu Yan and the other stood up instinctively, "Teacher Qin!"

Especially Dugu Yan's expression, which was clearly a bit guilty...

Qin Ming sensed something and asked with suspicion, "Yan Zi, Tian Heng, did I...interrupt something?"

He hadn't knocked before entering, which was indeed a bit impolite!

Yu Tianheng was the first to respond, explaining, "No... No, Teacher Qin, we were just finishing up. Is there something you need?"

Qin Ming nodded slightly, "Yes, it's like this, the Senior Douluo of Poison is here, and it seems he's looking for Yan Zi for some matter?"

Dugu Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa is here?"

After a pause, she then said, "Teacher Qin, Tian Heng, I'll go see Grandpa first, you two keep talking!"

With that, she turned and left...

It was then that Qin Ming turned to Yu Tianheng, his expression one of confusion, "Tian Heng, what was Yan Zi talking to you about just now? Your previous answer felt like it was hiding something..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng gave a sheepish smile, "This... I'm not sure if I should tell you, Teacher Qin!"

Qin Ming, hearing this, added, "If it's something private, then there's no need!"

Yu Tianheng scratched his head, replying, "It's not exactly a private matter, it's just that Yan Zi, she seems to bear a strong hostility towards Xu Sheng!"

"So, she wants to go to Martial Soul City!"

Qin Ming exclaimed, "What? Go to Martial Soul City? Don't tell me Yan Zi is trying to avenge you, Tian Heng?"

Yu Tianheng showed a hint of guilt, "Um... I was just trying to persuade Yan Zi to give up this idea, but failed, she insists on going!"

Qin Ming felt he couldn't just stand by and do nothing, and said seriously, "No, this is too dangerous, I must remind Yan Zi!"

Little did he know, Yu Tianheng reached out to grab his arm, shaking his head, "Teacher Qin, let it be. Once Yan Zi has made up her mind about something, she won't give it up!"

Qin Ming pursed his lips, "But..."

Yu Tianheng said again, "Yan Zi is not alone, the Senior Douluo of Poison is going with her, so there shouldn't be any problem!"

Hearing this, the other's expression softened a bit, "If the Senior Douluo of Poison is accompanying her, it really will be much safer, but going to Martial Soul City is ultimately not safe!"

...

Meanwhile, upon seeing Du Gu Bo, Dugu Yan said joyfully, "Grandpa, why are you here? Could it be that you've come to take me to Martial Soul City?"

Hearing this, Du Gu Bo showed a few traces of difficulty...

Stammering, he said, "Well, Yan Zi, I... was indeed planning to take you to Martial Soul City, but something came up on the way, so... we might not be able to go!"

He had initially sought Yueguan, but that guy obviously disagreed!

After that, he had tried other methods, only to be refused!

Dugu Yan immediately saw through his intentions, her tone becoming increasingly displeased, "Something came up?? Grandpa, are you simply unwilling to take me to Martial Soul City?"

Someone of the Titled Douluo Level, who could go anywhere in the Tiandou Empire...?

That was clearly just a convenient excuse!

Du Gu Bo flatly denied it, "Yan Zi, why would I not want to take you? It's really that..."

Dugu Yan pressed, "Really what??"

The resigned Du Gu Bo sighed and then answered truthfully, "Yan Zi, I'll tell you the truth. Those guys from the Pope Hall are wary of me, they simply wouldn't allow me to go to Martial Soul City!!"

```

"Rashly entering could very likely spark a massive conflict!"

Dugu Yan still remained skeptical, "Is it because of your conflict with that Elder of the Hall of Martial Souls, Yueguan?"

Du Gu Bo first nodded, then shook his head, "That's part of the reason, but not all of it!"

"The reason you're known as the Poison Douluo, Yan Zi, you should know, right?"

The former replied without hesitation, "Of course, the full force of your poison could flood an entire city!!"

The next second, she had a look of sudden realization...

"Could it be that the people of Martial Soul Hall are afraid that you might strike at Martial Soul City??"

Du Gu Bo affirmed, "Exactly, that's why those guys from the Hall of Martial Souls reject me so much!"

Dugu Yan swallowed, "If that's the case, then indeed there's nothing to be done..."

Though it was a pity, the plan to go to Martial Soul City to find that Xu Sheng had to end in failure!!

Seeing this, Du Gu Bo finally let out a sigh of relief...

But then, something unexpected happened...

Coming face-to-face with the approaching Xue Xing, he suddenly said, "Poison Douluo, I need to make a trip to Martial Soul City tomorrow, and I'll trouble you to accompany me!"

In that instant, Du Gu Bo was completely petrified...

Why did it have to be at this time!!

He had just persuaded his granddaughter!!

As expected, these words immediately reignited Dugu Yan's hopes...

She immediately transformed into an extremely respectful demeanor, "Prince Xue Xing, my grandfather would be very happy to accompany you; however, may I also join?"

Xue Xing frowned, initially wanting to refuse, but then thought better of it considering she was Du Gu Bo's granddaughter...

"Of course, you can! Provided you don't cause any trouble!"

Dugu Yan immediately assured, "Rest assured, Prince Xue Xing, I will not do anything inappropriate!"

"Right, Grandfather?"

Du Gu Bo looked at her for a moment, maintaining his silence...

Xue Xing couldn't help but prop up his chin, puzzled, "Poison Douluo? Why are you silent? You can outright refuse if you're unwilling."

Du Gu Bo clenched his fists tightly, bracing himself as he replied...

"Prince Xue Xing, I am... of course willing."

The former had done him a favor, and it was impossible to refuse such a matter!!

Xue Xing said no more, "Then I'll rely on you tomorrow!"

With those words, he turned and walked away...

Only after he had completely disappeared did Dugu Yan excitedly say, "Grandfather, if we follow Prince Xue Xing to Martial Soul City, surely even the people from the Hall of Martial Souls won't have any reason to interfere!"

"After all, if they dare lay a hand on Prince Xue Xing, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the Tiandou Empire!!"

Du Gu Bo was somewhat speechless, wanting to say something but unable to find the words...

"You, oh you, just let it be. Since Prince Xue Xing has already agreed, then you can go together tomorrow!"

"But remember, do not stir up any trouble whatsoever, or else, the consequences will be unimaginable!!"
