Dugu Bo, who was standing next to her, glanced at his granddaughter's expression, coughed lightly, and brought her back to her senses.
"Yanyan, the second thing Grandpa wants to tell you is about that kid surnamed Yu."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan immediately lowered her head.
Ignoring her, Dugu Bo continued, "Do you know why Grandpa, despite verbally disapproving of your relationship, has always tacitly approved of it?"
Dugu Yan felt that she knew, yet she also felt that she didn't know completely.
Dugu Bo sighed, "Because of the deadly poison in my body, I thought I didn't have much time left to live. My only concern is you, Yan Yan."
"How can Grandpa rest easy thinking about how you'll be all alone after I'm gone?"
"And since Yu Tianheng is pursuing you, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind him is indeed a decent backer. Grandpa is saying this, Yan Yan, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand..."
Dugu Yan nodded gently, the doubt that had troubled her for so long finally being answered.
"But now, things are different."
Dugu Bo looked in the direction of Dongfang Jing, a smile unconsciously appearing on his lips: "It's really strange, I only met this kid today, but I really believe what he says."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan couldn't help but stick out her tongue and muttered under her breath, "It's clearly because of those two Title Douluo seniors that you can't beat them, Grandpa. Otherwise, you would have already taken Dongfang Jing away separately and tortured him for a confession."
Having his granddaughter expose his true feelings, Dugu Bo felt embarrassed and pretended to be angry, scolding, "You brat, how dare you talk to your grandfather like that?"
"Never mind." He waved his hand. "Anyway, Mirror said he's confident he can cure the poison in my body. Once the poison is cured, Grandpa can live for many more years, and I won't have to worry about your future backer for the time being."
After saying that, Dugu Bo's expression turned serious again: "Yanyan, break up with Yu Tianheng."
"Huh? How could this be..."
Dugu Yan was clearly somewhat unwilling.
Dugu Bo glared at him and demanded, "Yanyan, tell me the truth, have you and Yu Tianheng progressed to that point?"
Dugu Yan's cheeks flushed bright red instantly, and she waved her hands repeatedly in front of her.
"No, no! Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"That's good."
Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, there might still be a chance."
Chance?
What opportunity?
Dugu Yan was full of doubts.
Dugu Bo leaned close to his granddaughter's ear and lowered his voice even further, asking, "Yanyan, what do you think of Jing boy?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan could easily understand what Dugu Bo meant.
She playfully punched Dugu Bo's chest with her little fists, blushing and annoyed, and said coquettishly, "Grandpa! I haven't even exchanged two complete sentences with him! If you keep doing this, I won't talk to you anymore!!"
Dugu Bo silently endured his granddaughter's loving little fists.
I thought to myself, it is indeed a bit early.
Let them live in the college for a while and get to know each other before making any decisions.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo's face hardened, and he regained his serious demeanor.
He said in an unquestionable tone, "In short, you must break up with Yu Tianheng! That guy doesn't deserve you! And his feelings for you aren't genuine!"
"Don't you understand? You can ask Lingling and Yao'er. As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly."
"Alright, Grandpa's going to the Ye family now. I'll visit you at Zixing Academy tomorrow."
Without giving Dugu Yan a chance to talk back, Dugu Bo finished speaking in one breath.
Then, in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
"Yanyan, has Grandpa Dugu left?"
Ye Lingling then walked over to Dugu Yan, who was still in a daze.
Dugu Yan nodded, her disappointment evident in her expression.
Ye Lingling sighed softly; this wasn't the first time.
In the past, when Dugu Bo came to the academy to visit his granddaughter, he often scolded Yu Tianheng and told his granddaughter to give up as soon as possible.
After Dugu Bo leaves, Dugu Yan will show this sad expression.
Ye Lingling didn't know what Grandpa Dugu had said this time, but the old man's words must have made sense.
She didn't know how to comfort her friend, so she could only say, "Let's go, don't keep Yao'er and the others waiting."
"Um."
Dugu Yan nodded. She couldn't waste other people's time because of herself; she could tell what was more important.
"Yao'er, have you memorized all the steps? I'll give you a hands-on demonstration when we get back to the academy," Dongfang Jing asked softly.
Dongfang Yao pushed open the car door and lightly jumped out of the driver's seat.
She jumped up in front of her brother, hugged his arm affectionately, and obediently replied, "Remember, brother, you'll teach me step by step when the time comes, okay?"
Seeing Yao'er's adorable appearance, Dongfang Jing couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her nose.
Thinking:
'Yao'er is still the same Yao'er. She hasn't grown up and become rebellious, nor has she grown tired of me, her older brother.'
Dongfang Jing looked up and saw Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan walking over, so he got into the driver's seat.
Dongfang Yao then climbed into the passenger seat and called out to the two approaching women, "Sister Lingling, Sister Yanzi, over here!"
Dongfang Jing looked ahead and saw Biji and Xue Di sitting in the back seat of Wang Qiu'er's car, smiling and waving at him.
Dongfang Jing smiled and waved.
Once everyone was on the bus and seated, they were about to leave the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
As luck would have it, he saw Yu Tianheng, Qin Ming, and the others rushing toward him through the rearview mirror.
"Wait! Lingling! Wait!"
Yu Feng screamed at the top of his lungs.
Ye Lingling rolled her beautiful eyes. For the first time, she realized that Yu Feng was such a persistent and entangled man.
"Shall we go?" Ye Lingling asked Dongfang Jing in the driver's seat softly.
Dongfang Jing had the same idea, and too lazy to pay attention to the group behind him, he stepped on the gas.
The wheels rolled, and the scenery outside the car window rushed past.
Dugu Yan couldn't help but look back.
Then she discovered that Yu Tianheng had activated his Martial Soul, his body crackling with lightning, and he was using his strongest third Soul Skill as he sped after the sports car.
However, it was clearly visible to the naked eye that the distance between the two sides was easily widened.
Yu Tianheng was panting heavily. Seeing that he couldn't catch up, he could only shout loudly with all his might.
"Wild goose! Don't go, wild goose!"
"How can I live without you, my dear goose!"
"Yanzi, wait for me! I'll come to Purple Star Academy to find you!"
"Yanzi——!!!"
Yu Tianheng's heart-wrenching screams actually penetrated the soundproofing of the Dongfangjing specially made sports car and clearly reached the ears of everyone inside.
"Wild goose! How can I live without you, wild goose!"
"Yanzi——!!!"
The lingering sound resonated in the air, never ceasing to be heard.
For a moment, the atmosphere inside the car became somewhat silent, even awkward.
