Clearly—
Ye Lingling hadn't grasped the point at all.
The reason Douluo Continent was also called the Love Continent
was because some of their "love-obsessed" individuals were truly outrageous!
Their thought processes, behavioral norms, and styles were completely incomprehensible—
they might seem normal most of the time,
but that was only when they weren't in love.
Once they acted impulsively,
their "love brain" would activate!
At that point—
forget about better prospects or opportunities to become stronger.
They would truly disregard everything else.
Family, friends, companions—all were meaningless; only love mattered.
Some even foolishly paid the ultimate price.
Here, I must specifically criticize a certain stupid rabbit—
thankfully, by a twist of fate, that stupid rabbit managed to escape danger.
Even if Zhuge Lan didn't care that much, he wouldn't have been allowed to stupidly die again.
He wasn't some useless piece of trash!
However,
Ye Lingling had indeed wronged Dugu Yan this time.
While the other party might be a bit love-struck, it wasn't to an extreme degree.
It wasn't that she would disregard everything and
give up such a bright future just to stay by Yu Tianheng's side.
The root cause... lay with Zhuge Lan!
That's right, Zhuge Lan.
To others,
while Zhuge Lan was a bit of a swindler, he was undeniably generous—offering a constant stream of rewards. Even
a small amount would be incredibly beneficial.
But Dugu Yan was different.
She felt that if she really came to the Xuanji Pavilion, she would definitely be completely taken advantage of…
This
wasn't because Dugu Yan had any prejudice against Zhuge Lan.
On the contrary, her attitude was quite normal.
She understood that her charm wasn't as great as imagined,
not enough to make Zhuge Lan recklessly attack her.
But just because Zhuge Lan wouldn't attack
didn't mean others wouldn't…
and that was Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo!
Just like now, far away in Tiandou City, Dugu Bo was still earnestly persuading his granddaughter—
"My precious granddaughter..."
"Tell me, what future do you have staying here?" "
That kid Zhuge Lan is recruiting people everywhere, clearly aiming to become bigger and stronger, to create another glorious era."
"And behind him, he has the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
"If you don't get involved now, you'll never have another chance—"
"It's better for us to seize this opportunity than for it to fall into the hands of others."
"Go now, with my relationship with that kid, we can definitely get better resources."
Dugu Bo was heartbroken, but no matter how he tried to persuade her, Dugu Yan remained unmoved.
She clearly had a "I won't listen, I won't listen" attitude.
This truly discouraged Dugu Bo.
Normally,
he was the fearless Poison Douluo—although he was only a Title Douluo, his attitude was exceptionally arrogant.
Now, with Zhuge Lan's help, his cultivation had advanced even further.
Having shed the nickname "Floor Tile," Dugu Bo's behavior became even more arrogant and domineering.
Normally, who would dare to disregard him like this?
He would have already struck them down with a venomous palm—
but alas.
Before him stood his only granddaughter.
She was truly a precious jewel, and he wouldn't dare threaten her, not even raise his voice.
He could only act as he did now,
offering earnest and patient advice, hoping to guide Dugu Yan away from wrongdoing.
Others might not know the mystery surrounding Zhuge Lan, but how could Dugu Bo not know?
She was someone from whom a deity resided!
Initially,
Dugu Bo could still maintain the dignity of a Title Douluo.
After all...
While Zhuge Lan's backing was terrifyingly strong, at the time, Dugu Bo himself was merely a minor Soul Master.
Dugu Bo still maintained a certain air of composure.
However, as Zhuge Lan grew stronger day by day, even subduing a Soul Beast King,
repelling the beast tide, and spreading his fame throughout the Heaven Dou realm and even the entire Douluo Continent,
Dugu Bo sadly realized that he had underestimated that young man and his family.
Dugu Bo even had a strange feeling—
even without the intervention of Zhuge Lan's family, Zhuge Lan
alone could render Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo, helpless.
—Of course, if Dugu Bo were to face Zhuge Lan now,
he would absolutely be toyed with to death…
It can only be said that
Zhuge Lan's growth rate was simply too monstrous!
Therefore,
Dugu Bo was now finding it increasingly difficult to maintain his usual nonchalant attitude.
He only knew that if he didn't get on the other side's chariot soon, he might never see that kid's back again.
"It's only been a short time..."
Dugu Bo felt a mix of grief and indignation, a deep sense of helplessness, and a feeling of being in a different world—
"In such a short time, this kid has made such a big move."
"It feels like we haven't seen each other for decades..."
No!
He absolutely couldn't wait any longer...
Dugu Bo made up his mind that he had to get his granddaughter into Zhuge Lan's academy.
Otherwise—
she would definitely fall behind the continent's prodigies in the future.
"Grandpa..."
Faced with Dugu Bo's persuasion, Dugu Yan could only sigh helplessly—
"Don't try to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind to stay here."
"And another thing!"
Seeing her grandfather about to speak, Dugu Yan finally frowned and interrupted him—
"Grandpa, tell me, why do you want me to go to Zhuge Lan's academy so badly?"
"Do you really want me to cultivate?"
"Or are you thinking about something else?"
These words instantly made Dugu Bo's face turn awkward.
Hearing his granddaughter's questioning tone, Dugu Bo chuckled awkwardly, a rare occurrence for him.
"You saw through me?"
"My precious granddaughter, Grandpa is doing this all for your own good."
"That idiot Yu Tianheng, what's so good about him? He's useless."
"If you stay here with him, you'll really ruin your life..."
"Let's not even talk about whether I'm doing this for Yu Tianheng."
"Even with Zhuge Lan..."
"He has so many women around him, how could I possibly go?"
"Look at you, Grandpa, what are you thinking about right now!"
Having received a reply, a blush of shame and indignation flashed across Dugu Yan's delicate face—
as expected!
Although he hadn't explicitly said it before,
it was clear that her grandfather's purpose was this.
Otherwise,
Dugu Yan wouldn't have given up such a good opportunity and chosen to refuse to go to Xuanji Pavilion.
She wasn't unaware of Zhuge Lan's strangeness and power.
As for Yu Tianheng...
regardless of their relationship, even if they were truly certain of a future together,
Dugu Yan wouldn't be so foolish as to make such a stupid decision just to indulge in a romance.
However…
what Dugu Yan could accept was becoming a student of the Xuanji Pavilion.
She didn't want to become Zhuge Lan's woman.
Admittedly,
Zhuge Lan was indeed exceptionally outstanding.
Among the younger generation, let alone surpassing him, there wasn't a single one who could compare.
Even including the geniuses of the Spirit Hall and Spirit Academy, it was absolutely impossible!
