Chapter 24: Senior, you've been poisoned too, haven't you?
"Yes, that's right. Not only that, but the control range is so large, it's amazing." Shi Mo also exclaimed in admiration.
Dugu Yan proudly raised her chin beside her: "Of course, Xuanming is the one I've set my sights on."
Everyone laughed upon hearing this, and Ye Xuanming felt somewhat helpless.
This girl dares to say anything.
Just then, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and soon a light drizzle began to fall.
"It's raining, let's go back."
Yu Tianheng suggested.
As everyone packed up to leave, Ye Xuanming noticed that Dugu Yan's face was somewhat pale.
"Yanzi, are you alright?"
"I...I'm fine."
Dugu Yan forced a smile, but Ye Xuanming could tell she was holding back something.
Ye Lingling also noticed something was wrong: "Yanzi, you don't look well."
"I'm really fine, I'm just a little tired."
Dugu Yan waved her hand, but her voice was clearly weak.
She knew very well that this was her old problem recurring.
But what Dugu Yan didn't know was that it was the snake venom in her body that was causing the problem.
Ye Xuanming's heart skipped a beat. This symptom, coupled with the rainy weather...
"Yanzi, are you feeling any pain in your body?"
Dugu Yan was stunned, and then her face turned even paler.
How did you know?
Before she could finish speaking, Dugu Yan suddenly went limp and almost fell to the ground.
Ye Xuanming immediately helped Dugu Yan up; her body was so cold it was heartbreaking.
"Captain, Yanzi seems to be feeling unwell. Lingling and I will take her back first."
Yu Tianheng nodded as he looked at Dugu Yan's pale face.
"Go ahead, and let me know if you need any help."
He also realized that Ye Xuanming's relationship with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling was not ordinary, and that it would be inappropriate for him to go with them at this time.
Ye Lingling hurriedly walked to the other side of Dugu Yan, and the two of them helped her up.
"Yanzi, hang in there, we'll be home soon."
Dugu Yan gritted her teeth, fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
"I'm fine, it just hurts a little."
As soon as the three of them stepped out of the school gate, a green figure appeared in front of them.
Dugu Bo's face was gloomy, and his green eyes were full of worry.
What happened to Yan Yan?
"Grandpa? Why are you here?" Dugu Yan weakly raised her head.
"It's raining, I'm worried about you." Dugu Bo stepped forward to check on his granddaughter. "Has it flared up again?"
Ye Xuanming's heart skipped a beat; just as he had expected.
"Senior, let's go back to the manor first and talk about it later."
Dugu Bo nodded, picked up Dugu Yan, and disappeared into the rain in a few flashes.
Ye Xuanming and Ye Lingling followed closely behind.
Inside the Dugu Mansion, a faint medicinal fragrance permeated the magnificent bedroom.
Dugu Bo placed his granddaughter on the bed, gently stroking her forehead with his palm, a soft soul power seeping into her.
Dugu Yan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
"Lingling, you take care of Yanyan. Xuanming and I are going out for a bit."
Ye Lingling nodded obediently and sat down by the bed. The Nine-Heart Begonia quietly appeared, and its gentle healing light enveloped Dugu Yan.
"Yanzi, you rest first, I'm here."
Ye Xuanming followed Dugu Bo out of the room and into the backyard of the mansion.
Raindrops pattered on the bluestone slabs, making a dripping sound.
With his back to Ye Xuanming, Dugu Bo's voice was somewhat hoarse, "Kid, have you sensed something?"
Ye Xuanming took a deep breath; this was an excellent opportunity. "Senior, is Yanzi poisoned?"
Dugu Bo suddenly turned around, and his powerful soul force involuntarily leaked out, causing the surrounding flowers and plants to wither instantly.
How did you know?
Ye Xuanming met those green eyes and said calmly, "At first I wasn't sure, I just thought Yanzi had special eyes. But after seeing you, senior, I had some guesses."
"Based on today's situation, I have concluded that the goose was poisoned."
Ye Xuanming paused, then continued:
"Besides, senior, you've also been poisoned, haven't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so eager to invest in me, so that I could be a guarantee for the future of Yanzi."
Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply; this kid's observational skills were terrifying.
"How could you understand these things at such a young age?"
Ye Xuanming organized his thoughts, ensuring that the explanation was reasonable.
"Although my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, it has two attributes. My life Blue Silver Grass is exceptionally sensitive to poisons. When I first met Yanzi, I sensed that special aura within her."
"I wasn't sure at the time because Yanzi's martial spirit was the Azure Phosphorous Serpent. It wasn't until today, when it flared up in the rain, that I dared to make that conclusion."
Dugu Bo remained silent for a long time, and finally shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I didn't expect you to see through me."
He walked to the stone table and sat down, looking much older than before.
"That's right, both Yan Yan and I have been poisoned by the Jade Phosphorus Snake."
"My cultivation is high, and I can last for a few more years, but Yan Yan is still so young."
Dugu Bo's voice was filled with despair. This Poison Douluo, who had dominated the continent, was now like an ordinary old man worrying about his granddaughter's future.
Ye Xuanming felt a surge of sympathy, but even more so, excitement.
The opportunity has arrived!
"Senior, I might have a way."
Dugu Bo suddenly looked up, a glimmer of hope igniting in his green eyes.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I might have a way to solve your poison problem," Ye Xuanming repeated.
Dugu Boteng stood up abruptly, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Really? You're not lying to me?"
"I wouldn't dare to deceive you, senior." Ye Xuanming nodded solemnly. "However, I do need many precious medicinal herbs."
Dugu Bo laughed heartily, all the despair in his eyes vanishing.
"Herbal medicine? As long as it can save Yanyan, I'd give up my life for her, let alone herbs!"
"I have a medicinal herb garden in Sunset Forest."
Dugu Bo's movements were incredibly fast; he packed his things almost instantly.
"Let's go, let's go now!"
He grabbed Ye Xuanming's shoulder and dashed out of the mansion in a flash.
Raindrops pattered on his face as Ye Xuanming felt the urgency emanating from Dugu Bo's body.
This titled Douluo, for the sake of his granddaughter, no longer cared about anything else.
"Senior, shouldn't we tell Yanzi and Lingling?"
"It's too late!" Dugu Bo's voice came in the wind. "The sooner you get better, the more at ease I'll be."
The two flew swiftly through Tiandou City, heading towards Sunset Forest.
Ye Xuanming called out in his heart, "Ah Yin, are you ready?"
"Don't worry, Xuanming." Ah Yin's voice was gentle yet firm.
Ye Xuanming nodded, feeling reassured.
According to the original work, finding the soul bone and forcing the poison into it is an excellent method.
However, there are also hidden dangers. After all, the toxins that a soul bone can carry are limited. An external soul bone can grow together with the soul master, which is naturally the best option.
The edge of the Sunset Forest was soon reached.
The forest appeared particularly eerie in the rainy night, with the roars of various spirit beasts rising and falling.
The two ventured deep into the forest, where Sunset Forest was located—Dugu Bo's back garden.
