In Bai Chenxiang's view, this change of address was only a matter of time.
Calling him "Grandpa" meant having more people to protect her, which was always a good thing.
Her own grandfather wasn't that strong; apart from speed, he really wasn't anything special.
"Haha, good."
Dugu Bo smiled happily.
He cherished those girls who were willing to call him "Grandpa"—they were sensible and respected their elders!
Unlike some people who claimed to respect him but never actually called him "Grandpa. "
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo glanced at Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu, kid, tell me, what brings you here today?"
"Well, I want to go with you to the Soul Hall for an inspection, and also check on the progress of those three hidden weapons."
Ye Qiu explained his purpose.
"Alright, I've also figured out the poison you gave me for the Yama's Talisman. This time, I'll have the blacksmiths forge it for me again, and test its effects with that chrysanthemum."
Dugu Bo agreed without hesitation.
As a protector of the Soul Hall, he had considerable authority, and Ye Qiu didn't restrict him.
Aside from the Palace Master, his position as a protector was the highest.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Ye Qiu looked troubled.
"Ahem."
He coughed twice, reminding him,
"Senior Dugu, it's best not to try the Yama's Decree. Trying it might kill that chrysanthemum, and it might not be able to withstand it."
"Tsk! That's true."
Dugu Bo also realized.
Even the Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Dart had riddled that chrysanthemum with holes and couldn't take it.
Let alone the Yama's Decree, which relies entirely on poison output.
If he really killed someone,
he would be causing big trouble for Ye Qiu and the other kids.
After pondering for a moment, he said,
"Alright, then save it. If you encounter any evil soul masters you can't beat in the future, call me first when you need help, so I can test the power of the Yama's Decree."
"If there's a chance, no problem."
Ye Qiu nodded slightly, agreeing. There might be quite a few Title Douluos on the other side, and they might need to call for help someday.
Seeing Ye Qiu nod so quickly, Dugu Bo couldn't help but add,
"But let's agree beforehand that if it's something like Evil Blood or Demon, then forget it. Don't drag me there to my death; I still want to hold my great-grandson."
He was still self-aware.
Perhaps using the Yama's Decree and amplifying the poison with the Snow Swan Kiss in his hand, he could definitely threaten a Title Douluo of that level.
But the prerequisite was that he could hit it. If
he couldn't hit it, it was all for nothing.
"Puhaha, don't worry, senior. I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. If something happens to you, Yan Yan will hate me to death."
Ye Qiu couldn't help but laugh.
Although Dugu Bo said that, there was no doubt that he would definitely not stand idly by if he was in danger.
Ye Qiu was confident in that.
"Alright, let's go to the Soul Hall now."
Dugu Bo stood beside Ye Qiu, and Ye Qiu nodded, taking Bai Chenxiang's small hand.
He activated his Divine Might.
The three of them quickly disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, they were already in the main hall of the Soul Palace.
This hall was usually empty except when Ye Qiu held meetings.
"Ye Qiu, shall I go visit Grandpa first?"
Bai Chenxiang had just stopped and was about to leave.
Ye Qiu grabbed her arm.
"Xiangxiang, don't rush. I'll go with you later. After all, I'm Hall Master Bai's grandson-in-law."
"Okay, then let's go to the Crafts Hall first."
Bai Chenxiang smiled broadly, taking Ye Qiu's arm and speaking softly.
"Hmph! Don't forget you're my grandson-in-law first. You'll have to call me Grandpa first before you can address anyone else."

Dugu Bo snorted coldly.
He couldn't help but remind Ye Qiu that he had been waiting for so long and couldn't let others cut in line.
"Haha."
Bai Chenxiang didn't care about the gift, her face flushed with laughter.
Ye Qiu's lips twitched.
"Senior Dugu, don't worry, I'll definitely give you a grand wedding ceremony on your wedding day."
"I'm waiting."
Dugu Bo patted Ye Qiu's shoulder and let out a strange laugh.
Not long after,
Ye Qiu led Dugu Bo and Bai Chenxiang to the Craftsmen's Hall.
The Craftsmen's Hall was the largest of the four halls, divided into several areas.
There were blast furnaces, rows of blacksmith shops, living quarters, and administrative areas
. After Ye Qiu brought Lou Gao and the others back,
Ning Fengzhi also handed over most of the orders for making hidden weapons to the Craftsmen's Hall.
After all, their craftsmanship was obviously better than the people he had hired himself, and the money was just going from one hand to the other, so he was happy to spend it.
Because of what Lou Gao was worried about.
The premature release of hidden weapons like the Zhuge Crossbow would cause turmoil across the continent, so he hadn't shown the blueprints to anyone.
Even the Zhuge Crossbow and the Silent Sleeve Arrow were still forged in parts, which were then wholesaled to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi arranged for people to assemble them.
Ye Qiu naturally supported this; the Zhuge Crossbow and similar weapons were like firearms in his world.
Allowing ordinary people to possess them would inevitably lead to bloodshed.
Furthermore, if ordinary people possessed the power to kill Soul Masters, the changes that would occur on this continent would be significant. If
hidden weapons were to be promoted, it should only be after the continent was unified and under unified management.
Soon,
Ye Qiu saw the tanned, fat man, Lou Gao.
He seemed to have just overexerted himself, lying panting on a recliner, resting with his eyes closed.
"Hall Master Lou Gao."
Hearing the call,
Lou Gao opened his small eyes and looked at Ye Qiu.
"Huh? Isn't the Palace Master participating in the Soul Master Competition? What brings you here?"
"I just wanted to see if Master Craftsman Lou Gao has encountered any other difficulties in making those three types of hidden weapons."
Ye Qiu chuckled, inviting Bai Chenxiang to sit down beside him.
Dugu Bo had already gone to the forging area, where Lou Gao's disciples were helping out.
Lou Gao had four disciples; he kept two to manage the blacksmith association, and brought the other two with him.
If Lou Gao weren't so difficult to manage, Dugu Bo would have wanted Lou Gao to forge the weapons himself.
"Well, those three hidden weapons, apart from the Buddha's Wrath Tang Lotus, I'm confident I can make the other two now, but they're still in the forging and hammering stage."
Lou Gao wiped the sweat from his brow.
Bai Chenxiang, being very perceptive, poured tea for Ye Qiu and Bai Chenxiang.
"Thank you, Madam Palace Master."
Lou Gao, who dealt with hammers and fire all day, didn't mince words and addressed her directly.
"Mm."
Bai Chenxiang lowered her head, her face flushed, and nodded slightly.
She was happy to come to the Soul Palace with Ye Qiu, perhaps partly because of the repeated calls of "Palace Master's Wife."
Lou Gao took a sip of tea and said wistfully,
"Although the Palace Master used your black flames to cut the indivisible Coldheart Iron Essence and Deep Sea Sinking Silver Mother into smaller pieces, their hardness is still too high. Forging them into shape will require a lot of effort."
