Nightfall came quickly.
Du Gubo, holding some items, was headed toward his herb garden.
At this time, Ye Feng was also ready.
The two of them were about to set off in the direction of Aquipeia Forest.
"There's actually a wolf pack?"
However, not long after they set out, Ye Feng saw a pair of eyes staring at them.
"Let's just go around,"
said Du Gubo.
At their current level, they could easily pause mid-air and leap over.
Dodging these wolves was going to be a piece of cake.
Moreover, these wolves seemed quite strong; half of them were ten thousand years old or older, the leader being a Wolf King of fifty thousand years.
These must be the Ghost Wolves of Aquipeia Forest that many Soul Masters were wary of.
Rumor has it that the Ghost Wolf King, along with a group of highly combative wolves, had once devoured a Soul Douluo.
Even a Titled Douluo would avoid these creatures.
After all, the collective combat effectiveness of a wolf pack was clearly formidable to anyone.
"Go around? Such good Experience Points,"
Ye Feng's eyes gleamed with excitement at this sight.
"Good Experience Points??"
Hearing this, Du Gubo was filled with confusion.
What the hell??
Why couldn't he understand what this Flayer was saying?
And this guy actually intended to fight the wolf pack, had he gone mad?
If they really wanted to fight, they could indeed win.
After all, Old Peel had quite the speed.
But fighting this band of wolves, wasn't that just a waste of energy?
Especially since they didn't need their Soul Rings.
"Swoosh—"
Ye Feng had already drawn his Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe.
His second soul ring merged, and Ye Feng fought amidst the wolf pack.
In just a moment, Ye Feng was completely drenched in wolf blood.
But he didn't stop; rather, he became more and more excited.
Because in his mind, he kept hearing the sound of notifications.
It was the sound of Experience Points rolling in.
"Madness, this is sheer madness,"
thought Du Gubo, utterly disheveled. In his eyes, Ye Feng must have lost his mind.
"Little Fengfeng is fighting so enthusiastically, yet you old poison dare to call someone else mad,"
suddenly, at this moment, a gentle voice sounded.
To the unaware, it could be mistaken for a woman's voice.
"Chrysanthemum Pass!"
Turning around, Du Gubo saw a man dressed in dung yellow.
His gaze slightly hardened.
He watched the other with great alertness.
"Old Poison, long time no see,"
said Chrysanthemum Douluo, revealing a peculiar smile to Du Gubo.
"Today isn't the day we agreed upon, is it? What brings you here?"
Du Gubo carefully eyed Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Chrysanthemum Pass was not someone easy to deal with.
His sudden appearance today probably meant the situation was not good.
But he honestly couldn't figure out why the other would show up here when they hadn't agreed to fight today.
"Of course, I didn't make any arrangement with you,"
said Chrysanthemum Douluo somewhat irritably.
He then shifted his gaze to Ye Feng, who was still fighting.
"It couldn't be that Old Peel called you here, could it?"
When Du Gubo saw Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze, his pupils flashed with surprise.
"Of course, it was Little Fengfeng who called me here. Otherwise, do you think I'd come find you, Old Poison, just to kill you?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo said.
"Little Fengfeng??"
Right now, Du Gubo could only feel a sense of chaos within himself.
He had actually called Old Peel "Little Fengfeng."
Could there be some unknown story here?
Heavens! He couldn't be that kind of person, could he?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Du Gubo's mind.
Both his granddaughter and Ye Lingling were interested in this Old Peel, and his granddaughter had even made it obvious. He himself had hinted at it many times, but Old Peel hadn't responded at all.
He had completely acted as though he didn't know.
Could it be that the other party preferred men?
If it were just the aforementioned situations, Du Gubo wouldn't have come up with such a bold guess.
What was key was that, at one time, he saw the other party very intimate with the crown prince.
They even spent the night together outside, staying in one place for the evening.
It was common knowledge that the crown prince was male, right?
Combining the disgusting nickname that Chrysanthemum Douluo just used, Du Gubo panicked!!
If on this trip, two out of three people were off, what if they went crazy, wouldn't he lose his dignity??
"Gurgle."
Du Gubo swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Dangerous!
"Yo, Chrysanthemum Uncle, you came?"
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo in front of him, a beaming smile was now on Ye Feng's face as he spoke.
"Of course, I wouldn't stand someone up when I've promised them something," Chrysanthemum Douluo replied.
As it turned out, Ye Feng had contacted Chrysanthemum Douluo early on.
He had promised to come.
This was also Ye Feng's trump card.
Yes, this time he was preparing to head into the depths of the Aquipeia Forest to find a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast!
"Old Poison, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng noticed Du Gubo's gaze seemed a bit off.
He looked as if he had entered a state where enemies surrounded him on all sides.
"Old Peel, you're still young, you should try to maintain normal values," Du Gubo said, pulling Ye Feng aside.
His manner was very serious.
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Ye Feng's expression was colored with an unprecedented confusion.
"Old Poison, what are you talking about? What do you mean by 'normal values'?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was nearby, became visibly upset upon hearing this.
"You Old Chrysanthemum, go mess with your peers, why are you targeting the younger ones!" Du Gubo shot back at Chrysanthemum Douluo.
"What do you mean targeting the younger ones? You Old Poison, clarify your words, otherwise, we'll settle new and old scores together!" Chrysanthemum Douluo's temper flared upon hearing Du Gubo's statement.
"I think you know exactly what I mean!" Du Gubo looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo.
There are some things that one shouldn't plainly speak out loud.
But the fact that Ye Feng got involved with people from the Martial Soul Hall, even willing to help him find a Soul Ring, this couldn't possibly be simple.
If Ye Feng was originally a person from the Martial Soul Hall, then why was he also a target when the Martial Soul Hall attacked previously?
This meant that Ye Feng, this Old Peel, wasn't from the Martial Soul Hall.
So, if that was the case, why did he know Chrysanthemum Pass? It was very likely because of that kind of special preference.
And as Ye Feng was a person of that specific relationship, hence the other party would help him find a Soul Ring.
The recent nickname "Little Fengfeng" could also attest to that.
"Er, Chrysanthemum Uncle, could you change that nickname? It feels so awkward to be called that," Ye Feng said, naturally aware by now of what Du Gubo meant.
He also knew what Du Gubo was suspecting.
In fact, when he initially asked him to come over, he had already anticipated this scene.
But Chrysanthemum Uncle was the strongest Titled Douluo he could call upon at the moment.
