Dugu Bo, at full speed, burst into the Sunset Forest with an imposing aura.
He arrived at a vast clearing, carried Dugu Yan on his shoulder, and formed strange hand seals with both hands.
The space around them suddenly distorted, and the figures of Dugu Bo and his granddaughter quickly vanished from their original spot.
...
"Ugh~"
After an unknown period, Ye Qiu opened his heavy eyelids on a small bed.
"Hiss~ That hurts!" He sat up, pressing his hand against the back of his head.
He looked around.
Ye Qiu didn't know where Dugu Bo had brought him.
What met his eyes was a simple small wooden house; apart from the bed Ye Qiu was on, there were only some tables and chairs, and nothing else.
Ye Qiu got up, stretched, and checked his body.
Thankfully, no parts were missing.
He lifted his foot and walked out of the house.
Click!
As soon as he opened the door, an incredibly comfortable aura washed over him.
His blood seemed to boil within his veins.
Dense mist filled the surroundings, rising and falling in the air.
"This is!" Ye Qiu stared blankly at the scene before him, then tilted his head, looking around, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
His eyes glowed red, and the pupils in the center showed a purple light.
His gaze pierced through the thick fog, revealing the scene within.
In his sight, there was clearly a spring with two distinct colors, red and white, separated by a clear line! It was right there within the thick mist!
And this mist originated from the boundary between the scorching red spring and the icy white spring in the center of the spring.
"This is great! I finally found it!"
After repeated confirmation, Ye Qiu shouted with joy!
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
The place he had searched for so long was now right before his eyes!
The area where Ye Qiu was located was an inverted conical depression, surrounded by solid rock walls.
The sky above was covered by a thin layer of cloud-like mist, but it didn't affect the brightness here at all.
The bottom was a flat area, with a few small wooden houses built along the edges, and at the center was the spring, surrounded by various Immortal Herbs.
The Silky Serene Immortal Product, Fiery Apricot Passionate Consort, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, Yearning Heartbroken Red!
Looking at the shimmering Immortal Herbs, Ye Qiu almost couldn't hold back and wanted to go forward and pick them directly.
"Kid! You woke up so quickly!"
A hoarse voice sounded beside Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu immediately became alert, looked back, and saw that Dugu Bo was already standing beside him.
"Senior!" Ye Qiu bowed to him.
Since he was able to wake up, and Dugu Bo had brought him here, he naturally didn't need to worry too much about his safety!
Moreover, according to Dugu Bo's self-talk earlier, it wasn't hard to tell that he seemed to have some connection with him.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu couldn't help but look at Dugu Bo again, with curiosity in his eyes.
"Heh heh..! How was my granddaughter's taste?"
Dugu Bo sneered, looking at Ye Qiu playfully, a hint of severity flashing in his eyes.
"Senior, this junior truly didn't do it on purpose!" Ye Qiu gave a bitter smile. How could he, with his current strength, dare to take liberties with a Titled Douluo's granddaughter?
"Hmph! I knew you wouldn't have the guts!" Dugu Bo snorted, retracting the restless spirit power on his body.
Then he pointed to the front, where the misty water vapor lingered.
"You know this treasure land?"
Ye Qiu nodded, "Yes, this place is called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"
Dugu Bo stroked his dark green beard, looking as if he had expected it, and nodded in satisfaction at Ye Qiu.
"Follow me!"
Ye Qiu followed his steps to a wooden shed next to a few wooden houses, where four simple pillars supported a roof.
Below, there was a low table with a pot of hot tea on it, and several meditation cushions around it. The two sat opposite each other, cross-legged.
Dugu Bo personally poured Ye Qiu a cup of tea.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Ye Qiu thanked him, but made no other moves.
"Heh heh... What? You dared to come find this old man, but you don't even dare to drink a sip of tea?"
"Uh~ This junior is just not thirsty." Ye Qiu spoke truthfully. Sitting opposite a Titled Douluo, his back was ramrod straight, appearing somewhat stiff.
"Hmph! You don't understand any manners! As an elder, I personally pour you tea, how can a junior like you refuse?!"
Bang! Dugu Bo snorted coldly, slamming the teapot heavily on the table.
"Uh, heh heh," Ye Qiu gave two dry laughs, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
The tea in the cup was clear to the bottom, a faint jade green, emitting a rich fragrance.
Just taking a small sip felt as if he had drunk this tea a thousand times over; that pure and peaceful aura rushed straight to his head.
"How is this tea? Is it good?"
"Mm!" Facing Dugu Bo's question, Ye Qiu nodded honestly.
"Jie jie jie."
Hearing Dugu Bo's strange laugh, Ye Qiu shivered, goosebumps rising all over him.
"Heh heh... Do you know why this tea is so green? It's all thanks to my Nine-Joint Jade!"
Dugu Bo's icy voice was like snow falling in February, chilling Ye Qiu's heart.
The small snake on his shoulder also appropriately flicked its scarlet tongue at Ye Qiu.
Several black lines appeared on Ye Qiu's forehead, his face pale, as he stared meaningfully at Dugu Bo, forcing a smile.
"Heh heh... Senior, it's better not to make such jokes!"
Thump! Thump! Dugu Bo ignored him, just waiting quietly, tapping the table with his hand, as if counting down the time until the poison took effect.
Before the stalemate lasted much longer, just as Ye Qiu was about to stick his finger down his throat...
"Hahaha!" Dugu Bo suddenly burst into hearty laughter, a barely perceptible hint of schadenfreude in his eyes, as if he had finally avenged a great wrong.
"Not bad, not bad!"
"Hoo~" Seeing him like this, Ye Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief. He was just a hair's breadth away from revealing his cowardice...
"Kid, is your father doing well?" Stopping his laughter, Dugu Bo also picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
"Ah?" Ye Qiu was stunned, "This junior has never seen his birth parents since he can remember."
"Hmm?" Dugu Bo also frowned, "Then do you have any other elders in your family?"
"This junior has been an orphan since childhood, adopted by my grandfather. Before entering the junior Spirit Master academy, my only grandfather had already passed away from illness!"
"It shouldn't be like this? With the benefactor's strength..." Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised by Ye Qiu's statement, pulling at his messy dark green beard.
Ye Qiu also looked strangely at Dugu Bo, with many questions in his heart.
"Could it be that Senior has met Ye Qiu's birth father?"
"Mm!" Dugu Bo nodded, looking at Ye Qiu with a hint of melancholy in his eyes.
"More than twenty years ago, I met him once! At that time, I had just barely reached level 80! And now I have reached the realm of level 94!"
"This is all thanks to the benefactor! His kindness, I can never repay in this lifetime!"
"Senior is level 94!?" Ye Qiu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. How could Dugu Bo be level 94? He was clearly supposed to be level 92!
"Hmph! What? Doesn't seem like it?"
"H-how could it be!" Ye Qiu also knew he had spoken out of turn, his voice somewhat hesitant.
Dugu Bo glanced indifferently at Ye Qiu, then ignored him.
Ye Qiu's curiosity grew. How could Dugu Bo confirm his identity?
Also, what kind of kindness would make Dugu Bo exclaim that he could never repay it in his lifetime?
"By the way, Senior, how did you determine that I am a descendant of your benefactor?"
"Hmph! Just by your Spirit, this old man could not possibly be mistaken!"
Dugu Bo's voice was a little agitated, as if recalling some extraordinary scene!
"My Spirit?" Ye Qiu reached up to touch his eyes.
"That's right! Your pair of blood-colored eyes, although different from the benefactor's, use extremely similar Spirit Abilities! Furthermore, both of your appearances are seventy to eighty percent similar!"
Ye Qiu sat there in a daze, Dugu Bo's voice echoing in his mind.
Not only does he possess the Sharingan! Even his appearance is very similar? But his current appearance was clearly modified by the Blue Silver bloodline!
