"Now that you've discovered this, what can you do about it? After all, the severe poison in my body is incurable and will accompany me for the rest of my life,"
Du Gubo said with a resigned attitude.
Old fool, don't be ungrateful. You clearly don't take the medicine I gave you on time and still have the nerve to complain to me about it! It serves you right that my severe poison has entered your body this time!
Ye Feng muttered to himself.
Time quickly passed, almost half an hour, and Ye Feng and Du Gubo were still arguing non-stop about their issues!
"Alright, you seem to be in no serious trouble, so you should head back early,"
"It was tough on you to have a bout with me today."
"I've already taken care of half of your injuries. The rest is up to you. If there's nothing else, we should take our leave. We can make an appointment to have a good fight another day,"
Up to him!
It's not that he wasn't treated well, but the remaining half was a matter of time; he needed to go back and rest, not continue to wear himself out!
Ye Feng explained.
"Old Poison, are you trying to get rid of me? Do you really not need someone to keep you company?"
Du Gubo said, with a double meaning in his words.
An hour earlier, Ye Feng had used his Thousand Li Far-seeing Mirror and spotted Tang Hao and others a few kilometers away.
A father and son appeared in the forest.
Therefore, Du Gubo was well aware of their purpose.
They were definitely coming for Ye Feng.
"Oh, what are you saying, Old Poison? I'm a bit confused by what you mean,"
"I'm not injured and don't need any company. I'm just slightly hurt. On the other hand, Old Poison, you're the one who needs someone by your side,"
Ye Feng retorted.
"Psh! I, Old Poison, am hard to kill, and don't need anyone to look after me. I'm doing extremely well right now,"
Du Gubo said with an unashamed attitude.
"Yes! Yes! If it weren't for me neutralizing the poison in your body, you old man wouldn't be doing so well,"
"Old Peel, I'm really not joking. Have you truly forgotten that there's still something that needs to be dealt with?"
Du Gubo hinted at Ye Feng again.
He meant that he wanted to join Ye Feng in defeating Tang Hao!
After all, Du Gubo and Tang Hao had old scores to settle, and this was the perfect opportunity presenting itself.
It perfectly suited Du Gubo's wishes!
But whether he was in any condition to fight again depended on his own abilities!
"What else could I possibly have to deal with? Right now, I just want to go back early and get a good night's sleep. I don't want any more disturbances, there's been enough going on day after day,"
Ye Feng said to him.
"Didn't you see Tang Hao and the others? Don't you want to compete with them? Such a great opportunity has come knocking, and yet you fail to seize it,"
"Old Peel, I am not trying to criticize you, but your current performance is really disappointing to me,"
Du Gubo said with annoyance.
"Oh, so you're looking for revenge, are you? Well, you can go find him right now, and I won't stop you. Go ahead with confidence,"
"I'm very tired today and don't want to lift a finger against anyone,"
Ye Feng said coldly.
In fact, Ye Feng had already figured out what he wanted to do next!
Of course, waiting for Tang Hao and his group to make the first move!
He just didn't want to drag Du Gubo into it; this was between him and Tang Hao!
So Du Gubo's personal vendetta with Tang Hao was their own matter and had nothing to do with him!
"Hmph! Ye Feng, you said so yourself, just don't regret it,"
Du Gubo said angrily.
"Oh dear, Elder Dugu, you really want to fight them, don't you? Well, you can go find them now, but I won't be joining you. You handle your own problems,"
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave,"
At that moment, Ye Feng spoke up.
Du Gubo clearly could have had someone send him back, but instead, the old guy, with nothing better to do, insisted on presenting himself to Tang Hao!
"Old Peel, stop right there! I never said I definitely wanted to go find them. I'm not a fool!"
"Come on, let's sit at my Dugu Family's place, have a cup of tea, and chat. My girl has been mentioning you all the time."
"I just don't get it, what's so good about you? Our Yan'er keeps ordering me to bring you along when I go back."
Du Gubo scratched his head and said.
Ye Feng wore a puzzled expression on his face.
What's going on?
Dugu Yan has been frequently mentioning him!
Isn't that a clear case of a crush? Even Du Gubo can't see it!
Or he's pretending for Ye Feng to see, but he really is clueless!
"Haha! Old Poison, you clearly haven't seen who I am. I'm so handsome, and my strength isn't ordinary at all. That's why your Yen'er often thinks of me. It's pretty normal for a lot of girls to like someone like me, nothing strange about that."
Ye Feng said with a smile.
"No, no! Didn't you just say you didn't want me to take you back? You said it yourself you didn't need me to do that, and told me personally that you were okay and could go back on your own."
"But, I might consider going back with you, have a good talk with Yan'er about the future!"
"What? I must have heard wrong, talking about the future? Old Peel, I warn you, don't you get any funny ideas!"
"I, Du Gubo, will not easily give Yan'er away to you, so don't get your hopes up, I advise you to give up that notion."
This agitated Du Gubo.
He couldn't help but curse at Ye Feng.
"Don't get worked up, man. Talking about the future is perfectly normal. Old Poison, you're the one with the dirty mind, not me. I'm not as lecherous as you think."
"Besides, as for marrying Yan'er, I don't even want to think about it yet!"
Ye Feng declared outright.
"What do you mean by that? You think you're too good for our Yan'er, Old Peel? I can't believe you'd look down on her."
"My Yan'er wouldn't even look at you!"
Du Gubo pouted, looking at Ye Feng.
His entire expression was furious.
On one hand, he was hurt all over from being beaten up by Ye Feng, and on the other, Ye Feng just said straight to his face that he didn't fancy Yan'er!
"I didn't say I looked down on your family's Yan'er; you're overthinking it."
"Dugu Yan is also very outstanding. I think she must like someone; it's just that you, Old Poison, don't know it yourself."
Ye Feng said.
"Nonsense, if that were true, she would've told me right away, not kept it a secret from me."
Du Gubo immediately interjected.
At this moment, he grew even more anxious.
"Old Poison, it turns out you're the last to know. I can't believe this is true; even your granddaughter hasn't told you she likes someone. You must feel very down."
"Hiss—!"
"Bang—!"
An explosion sounded.
Du Gubo unleashed his Soul Power.
He could no longer contain his rage!
The ground heaved up a huge piece of turf!
"Stop! Old Poison, let's talk this through peacefully. Why release your Soul Ring? Do you really want another fight with me? You're crazy."
Ye Feng immediately protested.
If Ye Feng hadn't mentioned Yan'er, would Du Gubo show off his Soul Ring to him? The person Du Gubo loves most is his Yan'er!
"Alright, alright, I'm just teasing you. I'm only going to send you to your doorstep and won't disturb your Yan'er. Besides, we can always have tea at my Lingfeng Teahouse, right? Why must we go to your house?"
Ye Feng then said.
"Hmph! Be careful with your words in the future. Don't think just because you beat me, you can do whatever you want."
"If you go too far, I won't come to work in your shop anymore."
Du Gubo stated seriously.
Afterward, Ye Feng and Du Gubo slowly walked away in another direction.
Dugu Family!
