Chapter 69: Dugu Bo's Invitation
"If she knows, then she knows. This Pope is quite a person of character. Does this mean she's secretly sending people to monitor every move of Yu Xiaogang?"
Chu Chen had to admit that he was surprised when he heard this message.
It wasn't because of Bibi Dong's anger.
But rather that Bibi Dong could quickly learn about the movements of Shrek Academy. At this time, Tang San hadn't been exposed to Spirit Hall yet, so the only explanation was...
Bibi Dong could never let go of Yu Xiaogang and had been secretly sending people to follow him just to know everything about him.
True, it was quite reasonable.
For Bibi Dong, who would even lick a teacup Yu Xiaogang had used, this was perhaps perfectly normal.
"..."
Qian Renxue hesitated to speak, ultimately failing to mention her relationship with Bibi Dong. After all, that was the most painful thing in her heart, something she was still unwilling to accept.
"You must be careful. Over the years, many geniuses have appeared, but those who didn't submit to Spirit Hall were dealt with in secret."
Qian Renxue ultimately gave Chu Chen a serious warning.
"What about you?" Chu Chen asked in return.
Qian Renxue was taken aback and couldn't help but smile faintly. "Although I come from Spirit Hall, my way of doing things is completely different from Bibi Dong's. You and I are close friends; of course, I wouldn't harm you."
"That's enough."
Chu Chen responded with a smile. He stood up and waved at Qian Renxue, then spoke, "See you next time! Now that the Spirit Master Tournament is about to begin, if I get targeted by Spirit Hall, I'll have to rely on you for protection."
"You fellow..."
Qian Renxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Then, she also turned and left the place.
After walking a certain distance, Snake Lance Douluo appeared beside Qian Renxue, who said solemnly, "Uncle She, please keep an eye on Bibi Dong's movements."
"Since Yu Xiaogang was injured, she definitely won't let Chu Chen off. If she makes a move, report to me as soon as possible."
Snake Lance Douluo asked somewhat hesitantly, "Young Lord, will doing this... cause sudden changes to our plan?"
"I know what I'm doing. Go."
After Qian Renxue finished speaking, she resumed her disguise as Xue Qinghe. Her figure quickly vanished into the darkness, heading toward the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
"Chu Chen, I won't let anyone hurt you, and you... are mine."
...
After returning to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Chu Chen saw Dugu Bo pacing back and forth anxiously with a solemn expression. His expression only softened upon seeing Chu Chen.
"Chu Chen, you're finally here."
Seeing Dugu Bo so nervous, Chu Chen couldn't help but be curious. "Old Poison, what's wrong with you?"
"There's something I want to discuss with you."
Dugu Bo pulled Chu Chen aside and slowly explained, "I have an enemy whose strength is not weak. I'm going to settle some old scores with him now, and I want you to give me some advice."
"A battle between two Titled Douluo, and you want me to give advice?"
Chu Chen knew exactly who the enemy he mentioned was. Who else could it be but that Chrysanthemum Douluo? Speaking of which, he also had some history with this Chrysanthemum Douluo.
After all, the one who had taken the blame for him and was later heavily injured by Tang Hao because of him was precisely this Chrysanthemum Douluo!
"You kid have plenty of clever ideas. I've never treated you as a junior. Come, come, tell me what good ideas you have."
As Dugu Bo spoke, he revealed his enemy. "That guy is an Elder of Spirit Hall. His title is simply 'Chrysanthemum'. Currently, his Soul Power should be at Rank 95."
"His Martial Soul is the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum. Although it's a plant, it possesses explosive power as sharp as a blade and even has an Indestructible Vajra Body. How do you think I should deal with him?"
Chu Chen thought for a moment and asked Dugu Bo, "Do you know that a Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum also grows at your Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
Dugu Bo was stunned.
"Now that you mention it, I do seem to recall... there is indeed such an Immortal Herb. Could it be that you have a way to counter the Indestructible Vajra Body?"
Chu Chen shook his head. "Not for now."
"But now your Soul Power has reached Rank 93, and your Medusa Skull Bone has evolved to the hundred-thousand-year level. Your current Jade Phosphorus Snake Emperor Poison should be enough to give him a run for his money."
Chu Chen looked at Dugu Bo and asked, "When do you plan to leave?"
"Departing immediately. The score between me and that guy must be settled once and for all." Coldness flickered in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Alright, I'll let Lingling know and go with you."
Chu Chen stood up. His words first stunned Dugu Bo, and although a flash of wild joy crossed the latter's eyes, he still refused after thinking for a moment. "That won't do. This is my personal grudge."
"What would it be like for a kid like you to follow me? Besides, this trip is too dangerous..."
Chu Chen directly interrupted Dugu Bo. "Don't be so indecisive. When you agreed without hesitation to help me hold back Tang Hao, I didn't decline. Do you not see me as a brother?"
"You kid..."
Dugu Bo burst into laughter. "Good! Let us brothers go and give that effeminate Chrysanthemum Pass a big surprise!"
Afterward, Chu Chen found Ye Lingling. After hearing that Chu Chen was going out with Dugu Bo, she understandingly agreed and urged him to be careful.
"Don't worry, I'll be back before long."
Chu Chen said to Ye Lingling.
Dugu Yan appeared at the right moment and pulled Ye Lingling over. "Don't worry, Chu Chen. I'll take good care of Lingling while you're gone."
Chu Chen: "?"
What do you mean "while I'm gone"?
...
"Let's go."
Chu Chen descended from the sky and landed before Dugu Bo. The latter nodded, and the two of them headed towards the meeting place agreed upon by Dugu Bo and Yue Guan under the cover of night. It wasn't far from Heaven Dou City, located within a small-scale Soul Beast forest.
"Old Poison, what exactly is the grudge between you and that Yue Guan?"
Chu Chen was curious and couldn't help but ask.
"Just some things from when we were young. Now I just want a chance to settle the score. With you here to back me up, I'm afraid that guy is going to suffer a huge loss."
Dugu Bo gave a strange laugh. He knew very well that looking down on Chu Chen would truly lead to trouble. Don't be fooled by the fact that this guy was only a Soul King; if he really pulled a dirty trick on you in secret, so what if you, Yue Guan, were a Titled Douluo?
"The Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Yue Guan and Gui Mei is somewhat troublesome. These two are loyal to Bibi Dong."
"And now Bibi Dong might have already started investigating my identity. There will surely be a battle in the future. If I take this opportunity to deal with one of these two, it will eliminate many variables."
Chu Chen thought to himself. Clearly, in his view, if he could deal with Yue Guan now, the Unmoving Domain of the Two Grades would cease to exist.
"Since we are destined to be on opposite sides, I won't let this excellent opportunity slip by."
