Leaving the Education Committee's office.
Dongfang Jing and his group walked along the long corridor of the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
Seeing that no one was around, Dugu Bo coughed lightly, breaking the silence.
He looked at Dongfang Jing and asked, "Jing, you've now incurred the wrath of the Heavenly Dou royal family."
"Those three old guys were highly regarded by Emperor Xueye. They will definitely report today's events truthfully."
Dugu Bo stroked his beard and deliberately reminded him in a cautionary tone.
"Let me remind you, even a titled Douluo would find it difficult to withstand the empire's million-strong army."
Dongfang Jing did not pause in the slightest, responding calmly.
"So what?"
"Could it be that just because two talented students dropped out, the Empire is going to launch a massive military campaign against us?"
He chuckled lightly: "Unless the emperor's brain has been kicked by a donkey."
"Besides, the student just wants to drop out; have we done anything wrong?"
"If he really dares to send troops on this snowy night, then I hope he never closes his eyes to sleep again afterward."
Dugu Bo felt somewhat ashamed upon hearing this.
You wicked brat, do you even intend to assassinate the king of a country in the dead of night?
However, Dongfang Jing's words were not wrong.
Moreover, the Snow Empress had just revealed the aura of a Title Douluo. Before making any decisions, the royal family would definitely have to weigh the consequences of making an enemy of such a powerful Title Douluo.
Perhaps, instead of causing trouble, they will send people to have friendly exchanges and try to win them over.
Dugu Bo stroked his beard, glanced sideways at Dongfang Jing whose expression remained calm, and suddenly laughed.
"You little rascal, you really gave this old man a surprise just now!"
"Tell me honestly, do you have some amazing tricks up your sleeve that you haven't fully revealed yet?"
Dongfang Jing shrugged, looking completely innocent.
"I had no choice. They were so stubborn, taking advantage of their age, and even tried to bully me, a junior."
"I can't just stand there and take the beating, can I? I have to endure the pressure and fight back desperately."
Dugu Bo naturally didn't believe his nonsense.
This kid seems old-fashioned and mature, but he's actually quite cunning.
He didn't ask any more questions.
He then looked at his granddaughter, who was still in shock and confusion, and said, "Yanyan, now you know why Grandpa wanted you to transfer schools, right?"
Dugu Bo pointed to Dongfang Jing.
"This kid is not even sixteen years old, but he is already a Soul Emperor of level sixty-something! Even I, his grandfather, cannot see through his true strength!"
"And what's more," he pointed to Bi Ji and Xue Di, "the two beside them, Lady Bi Ji and Lady Xue Di, are even more powerful than Grandpa's titled Douluo!"
"There are even two other titled Douluo who didn't come with us today."
"If you train with them, why are you worried about your strength improving slowly?"
Dugu Yan nodded blankly.
Having witnessed her younger sister Dongfang Yao's talent for cultivation, she was somewhat prepared for Dongfang Jing's extraordinary abilities.
If the younger sister is so strong, then it seems reasonable for the older brother to be a little abnormal.
At the same time, Dugu Yan finally understood.
No wonder my grandfather, who is usually aloof and proud, seemed calm and carefree in front of these people, but in fact, he was much more reserved than usual in his every move.
So that's why there were several powerful seniors around who even the grandfather couldn't defeat!
She suddenly realized that transferring schools wasn't so hard to accept after all.
Beside her, Ye Lingling watched Dongfang Jing's retreating figure and pursed her lower lip.
She hesitated for a moment, but in the end she took a few steps forward and walked to his side.
"Thank you for what you did earlier."
Her voice was light and ethereal.
Dongfang Jing turned to look at her and calmly replied, "No need to be polite. We'll be teammates from now on, so relax."
"Um."
The group walked through the corridor and arrived outside the Education Committee building.
The sky outside was gradually darkening.
Once we arrive at the Ye family home, it will probably take quite a while to explain the whole story to Mr. and Mrs. Ye.
Dugu Bo then suggested, "Jing, why don't you take Yanyan and Lingling back first?"
"I'm an old acquaintance of Lingling's father. I'll go to the Ye family to have a couple of cups of tea with him and catch up, and also tell him about Lingling's transfer to another school."
Dongfang Jing asked Ye Lingling.
Seeing that she had no objections, he agreed: "Okay."
He then looked at Bi Ji beside him and asked, "Master, what's the situation with Dugu Yan?"
"Yes, no problem."
Having received an affirmative answer, Dongfang Jing said no more.
Dugu Yan listened to their conversation from the side, somewhat stunned.
What's your situation? What's your situation?
Dugu Bo, however, was fully aware of the situation.
Upon hearing that Brigitte could cure his granddaughter, he could not hide his joy.
Then, he pulled Dugu Yan aside, his smile fading and his expression becoming slightly serious.
Dugu Bo lowered his voice and said, "Yanyan, Grandpa has two things to tell you. The first one concerns our Dugu family's Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul..."
Dugu Bo no longer hid the truth from his granddaughter.
He revealed that the poison of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul would backfire on him, and that his only son, Dugu Yan's father, died young because of it.
A deep sadness and self-reproach appeared on Dugu Bo's face.
"I'm sorry, Yan Yan, Grandpa has kept this from you for so long."
Upon hearing all this, Dugu Yan's body trembled violently, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Is that how it is?
My father's death was not an accident...
That grandfather...
She suddenly looked up, grabbed Dugu Bo's arm tightly, and asked anxiously, "Grandpa, the poison in my body can be cured, but what about you? You've been poisoned for so long, will you...?"
"Eh~"
Dugu Bo gave her a reassuring look and patted the back of her hand.
"From now on, you won't have to worry about the poison backlash anymore. Because that Senior Bi Ji is a healing-type Title Douluo, and her martial soul is the Emerald Swan!"
"Emerald Swan?"
Dugu Yan had never heard of this kind of martial spirit.
Dugu Bo explained, "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, Yan Yan. Even Grandpa has only seen the Emerald Swan Soul Beast in ancient books. Its numbers are so rare that it's practically a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn."
"As for the poison in my body..." Dugu Bo smiled, "Jing said he's very confident he can cure me, so you don't need to worry about Grandpa."
Seeing that her grandfather didn't seem to be lying, Dugu Yan finally relaxed.
Her grandfather was her only remaining family member in the world; if something happened to him…
She couldn't even imagine the consequences.
Immediately, Dugu Yan realized what was happening and was filled with surprise.
Was it actually Yao'er's brother who performed the treatment?
Could he also be an expert in medicine?
She subconsciously turned her head and looked at the Oriental Mirror not far away.
Over there, while waiting for Grandpa Dugu and his grandson to speak,
Dongfang Jing had already put his younger sister in the driver's seat of the sports car and began teaching her the most basic operations.
"Yao'er, when you're driving, look ahead, be mindful of pedestrians, and don't rush and press the accelerator instead of the brake..."
Noticing Dugu Yan's gaze, Dongfang Jing didn't pay much attention and continued to focus on being his sister's coach.
Dugu Yan gazed quietly at his profile.
It has to be said that Dongfang Jing is the most handsome boy she has ever seen.
Whether it's riding the wind or Yu Tianheng.
In terms of looks, temperament, and ability.
They are all no match for him.
