Chapter 45: Ning Fengzhi Returns to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School
The news of Dugu Bo joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School spread like wildfire.
Especially on snowy nights, he was so angry that he smashed more than a dozen bowls that very night, and from time to time, people in the harem would utter the words "unfit for the throne."
He even traded a gemstone soul bone with Ning Fengzhi, but he never expected that Ning Fengzhi would turn around and steal the tribute from another country.
Fortunately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is an entity that openly supports the Heavenly Dou Royal Family.
Otherwise, the snowy night wouldn't be as simple as just breaking a few bowls.
Ning Fengzhi, who was out searching for gemstone soul bones, was also taken aback when he heard this news.
Although he had tried to recruit Dugu Bo, he had never succeeded. Why did Dugu Bo suddenly announce that he was joining his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
After half a month of searching, he has found the Gemstone Head Soul Bone, along with the left and right arm bones obtained from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, the right leg bone obtained from Emperor Xueye, and the torso bones stored in the sect.
He's only missing the last piece of the Gemstone Soul Bone set – his left leg bone.
However, whether it was because there was none or because hostile forces were maliciously hoarding it, he couldn't find any information about the gem's left leg bone.
"Uncle Gu, why did Dugu Bo suddenly announce that he's joining our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at the ancient banyan tree and asked.
When the two of them heard the news, he noticed that Gu Rong's expression suddenly changed slightly.
"You mean that old poisoner? Wasn't that me and Xuan'er hunting souls in Sunset Forest? After he saw Xuan'er's talent, I forced him to either die or declare his allegiance to Xuan'er and protect her from now on."
As you know, we old guys usually have to accompany you around or guard the sect, so it's difficult for us to wholeheartedly protect him.
So we had to find another way.
Gu Rong couldn't hide the smile on her face.
He laughed, but Ning Fengzhi's expression turned resentful.
Although Gu Xuan's talent is indeed very good, this is too extravagant. Having a Title Douluo and a Soul Douluo as his protectors is a privilege that even the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall doesn't have.
"Uncle Bone, isn't that a bit too much?"
Ning Fengzhi put his hand to his forehead.
"What's exaggerated? With Xuan'er's talent, I feel like one Title Douluo isn't enough. If I could find a way, I'd definitely capture another one for him."
Gu Rong waved his hand domineeringly, as if the other titled Douluo were nothing more than chickens and dogs.
"Alright, whatever makes you happy, Uncle Bone."
However, since Dugu Bo has joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I, as the sect leader, can't just stand by and do something. I could explain it away before I didn't know, but now that I do, I definitely have to go back."
Ning Fengzhi searched for half a month and felt there was no need to continue.
Those who are willing to trade can start trading within half a month, while those who are not willing to trade will not be able to trade successfully in a short period of time.
It would be better to go back and host a reception banquet for Dugu Bo first.
"Fengzhi, let me make this clear first: the old poisoner is only responsible for Xuan'er. Don't you dare get any funny ideas."
Gu Rong looked at Ning Fengzhi warily. He had only assigned a Title Douluo to Gu Xuan because he couldn't always be by Gu Xuan's side to protect him. If Ning Fengzhi managed to steal Dugu Bo away, then he wouldn't be so ruthless.
"How could that be, Uncle Bone? I'm not that kind of person."
Ning Fengzhi smiled awkwardly and said.
Honestly, how could a Title Douluo not be tempted?
But what can Gu Rong do now that he's already said it?
We can only consider Dugu Bo as an unofficial guest.
Thinking that Gu Xuan would receive the same treatment as him in the future, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh.
"Young Master, please have some tea."
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Bone Peak!
Dugu Yan quickly adapted to her new identity.
Seeing Gu Xuan's talent and hard work, I was unconsciously inspired and gradually became more focused on my cultivation.
Furthermore, out of respect for Dugu Bo, Gu Xuan allowed Dugu Yan to join his cultivation plan.
Every day, he would cultivate alongside Gu Xuan, but his cultivation intensity was far inferior to Gu Xuan's.
She had always been the strongest among her peers and didn't have much pressure in her daily life, so her cultivation naturally dragged on.
But ever since she saw Gu Xuan's talent and hard work, the Scroll King Soul within her body suddenly ignited.
His enthusiasm for cultivation surged dramatically.
With the guidance of a Title Douluo and a Soul Douluo, his gains were clearly visible.
Every time I see Dugu Yan and Afu, I can't help but bow my head in dismay. Why is it that none of his descendants are decent?
Otherwise, he would have shamelessly sought a future for his descendants.
And so, Gu Xuan found himself accompanied by a beautiful young woman.
Of course, Dugu Yan's arrival did not disturb Gu Xuan's cultivation. Apart from the five times he was given the dog talisman to cast each day and some medicinal food resources, nothing else affected him.
Don't underestimate five times. For most Soul Masters, there aren't many opportunities to freely unleash their Soul Power, because it takes them almost a day to recover their Soul Power after it's been depleted.
With Gu Xuan's five dog-shaped talismans, Dugu Yan's combat awareness improved in a single day, equivalent to what she had gained in a month.
Putting aside everything else, the improvement in combat awareness alone is enough to attract many people.
It was used four times in combat, and the other time was for recovery after mental fortitude training.
The changes in Dugu Yan's spirit and energy were visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo thought to himself that he had made the right choice in clinging to Gu Xuan, and he became even more devoted to him.
Within half a month, Dugu Yan had completely adapted to her role as Gu Xuan's maid.
Every day after Gu Xuan regained consciousness from recovering his mental strength, he would cast the fifth Dog Talisman on Dugu Yan.
After regaining consciousness, Dugu Yan took over the work of Dugu Bo and Afu, serving Gu Xuan his meals.
At this moment, Dugu Yan's gaze towards Gu Xuan was sweet enough to melt honey.
Admiring strength is a characteristic of every woman, and Dugu Yan is no exception.
After Gu Xuan fully revealed his powerful personal charm, Dugu Yan unsurprisingly succumbed to it.
However, Gu Xuan is not in the mood to think about these things right now, after all, he is still young and his strength is not enough.
"Young Master, I've noticed quite a few suspicious individuals loitering around here lately. Should I try to eliminate them all?"
Gu Xuan quietly enjoyed the food while being served by Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo took the opportunity to tell her about his discoveries over the past few days.
"Hmm, the people delivering meals lately have been openly and secretly trying to find out about the young master's situation. Should we arrest them and hand them over to the Dark Hall?"
Afu then followed up with his own inquiry.
"They're probably from the Spirit Hall. We can ignore them."
Gu Xuan naturally knew what those people were thinking.
Wasn't it the sudden change in the bone peak that caught their attention?
Any changes in hostile forces must be thoroughly investigated.
It's understandable that people outside the Bone Peak are curious and want to investigate since the country has suddenly closed itself off from the outside world.
However, as long as it doesn't affect his cultivation, he'll leave everything to fate.
With Title Douluo Dugu Bo in charge and Chen Xin overseeing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it would be absolutely impossible to find out about him unless those old guys from the Spirit Hall's Hall of Worship personally intervened.
"It's the Spirit Hall again. These people are disgusting; they have their people everywhere."
Dugu Bo deeply resented the Spirit Hall, after all, if Yue Guan hadn't been chasing him back then, he wouldn't have owed Xue Xing a life-saving favor.
These past few days, Xuexing has been trying to persuade him to go back, and he's getting really annoyed with her.
