"What! I must have heard wrong, this is the message you wanted to tell me."
Du Gubo's face was full of confusion.
"That's right, the Substitute came about just like that. Isn't this what you wanted to know, Old Poison? You wouldn't be thinking of getting the Substitute for yourself, would you!?"
"You seem very interested; however, there's no chance I'd let you have the Substitute."
Ye Feng immediately spoke up.
Indeed, the Substitute couldn't be easily given away to someone else!
This Substitute was a mysterious gift from the System, and it brought hope to him!
He would only use the Substitute to secure a way out for himself when he was fighting with Tang Hao.
"Pah! Who covets your Substitute? Have I ever said I wanted it? Even if you offered it to me, I wouldn't take it. I, Du Gubo, have no interest in your Substitute."
At that moment, Du Gubo spoke out.
He said he didn't need it, but his eyes involuntarily kept looking at Ye Feng.
"Indeed, why would a Poison Douluo like you need it."
For a lifetime, Du Gubo had been toying with poison, almost sending himself off!!
"Of course, I had to."
Du Gubo spoke with great confidence.
He was full of self-assurance.
"We've completely escaped their sight and are far away; I believe they won't catch up to us anytime soon."
Sunset Forest is vast; they had covered approximately a hundred kilometers.
Tang Hao wouldn't find them for the time being.
"If they suddenly show up here now, what could they do to me? If need be, we'll just fight again, so what."
"I just don't know whether Tang San is still alive. He was hit by my Three-Second Fatal Poison Wolf, and it's been six hours since; if he's unlucky, he might not make it through the night."
Ye Feng said with a smug tone.
"Oh, you mean Tang San was struck by your soul skill and was badly injured. No wonder when I fought Tang Hao afterwards, I found Tang San lying on the ground unable to move."
"This way, Tang Hao won't be able to come looking for trouble; we are safe for now."
For the moment, they were safe, but once Tang San's condition improved, it wouldn't take long for Tang Hao to come after Ye Feng again!
This old man would never just let it go!
"All right, Old Peel, do you have any good plans next? Why don't you tell me about them so I can give you my opinion?"
Du Gubo said to Ye Feng.
He wanted to know the other party's upcoming plans!
From the moment he saved Du Gubo, Du Gubo had hinted that he would continue to work with Ye Feng!
"Hmm, do you really want to know?"
"I've thought through the plan long ago, but I don't want to tell you just yet."
Ye Feng spoke bluntly.
Ye Feng had already arranged his future plans.
He just didn't want Du Gubo to know!!
"What, you want to negotiate terms again? I'm not falling for your tricks; it won't be so easy to fool me. You young man are even craftier than I, Du Gubo."
He felt Ye Feng was somewhat deceitful!
Old Poison looked very serious.
"I was just saying it offhandedly, don't get agitated. And don't forget, you're my old employee; how could I possibly not tell you the future plans? It's just that I don't want to say it right now."
"Sigh, that's not right! Old Poison, didn't you say you wanted to invite me to your Dugu Family to sit down and have a cup of hot tea? Is this how you treat me?"
Ye Feng looked at the other with a mischievous grin.
He was obviously saying this for Tang Hao to hear.
"No problem, you can stay in my Dugu Family's house as long as you like."
"Forget staying at your Dugu Family's place. But there's one thing that just came to mind, the matter of the herb garden; you need to check on it from time to time. I'm worried that Tang Hao and his people might sneak in, and that would be troublesome."
"In their hearts, they must be furious, half-dead with rage, and I can't even imagine the lengths they'd go to for not getting the Bluesilver Emperor. The herb garden is all of your Dugu Family's possessions, and they can't be permitted to steal from it."
"Hmph! They won't be able to get in even if they want to. I've set up many traps; you don't need to worry about that."
The two spoke in conversation.
Du Gubo had set up many mechanisms, which Ye Feng found incredible.
Du Gubo hadn't thought of this before. Since their medicinal garden was completely plundered once, he had resolved to manage it properly and never let outsiders enter easily!
"That settles it, otherwise we'll lose a lot of precious herbs again. It's such a waste to have them stolen just when they've grown halfway after so much effort."
Because almost all of the Immortal Grass Elixirs were meticulously cultivated over a long span of time, and with the addition of Ye Feng's special growth accelerant, they could grow more than ten thousand plants in just half a year!!
So they cherished these Precious Immortal Herbs and Elixirs immensely!
"Old Poison, you go back and properly recuperate and condition your body before returning to Qing Feng Tea House."
Ye Feng said directly.
But from the way he limped as he walked, it was clear his leg was seriously injured!
From dawn to dusk, fighting for so long without a scratch was impossible!
"I, Old Poison, am perfectly fine, no need to go back and rest."
Du Gubo immediately retorted.
He didn't want to go back!!
"Don't you want to go back and see your Yen'er?"
Ye Feng said with a teasing smile.
Du Gubo hadn't seen his granddaughter for a very long time.
He had promised to have a good visit this time, but upon returning home, Du Gubo's first stop was to check on the Immortal Grass Elixirs!
And his Yen'er had been waiting all this time without a glimpse of Du Gubo.
"Old Flayer, aren't you coming back with me!?"
Faced with Du Gubo's question,
Ye Feng's mouth curved up slightly.
"No, I still have unfinished business. Anyway, hurry back and don't make Dugu Yan wait too long."
Ye Feng told Du Gubo.
"Old Flayer, we'll meet at Qing Feng Tea House another day."
Du Gubo said at that moment.
Ye Feng nodded.
With a push of his feet, Du Gubo shot straight into the air and then disappeared!
In the end, Ye Feng was left alone in Sunset Forest.
He didn't want to leave just yet!
His brain was deep in thought.
On the other side, Tang San and the others.
"It's probably going to be very hard to find him this time."
They had been searching for three hours and hadn't spotted a trace of Ye Feng!
Tang San said.
He looked very downcast.
And also quite upset.
"Hmph! We must find him regardless, alive we need to see him, dead we need to see the body."
Since the Substitute had been discovered twice, so the moment Tang Hao saw the Substitute again, he turned almost frantic in his search for the real Ye Feng.
"Bang—"
The mountain cracked, the ground split!
Tang San had a puzzled look on his face.
His father was so irascible!!
"Father, why don't we go back? Look, we've been searching all afternoon and still haven't found any sign of Ye Feng. I suspect he's long left the Sunset Forest and slipped away. He won't be hiding in this place."
Tang San said at that moment.
Suddenly, Tang Hao's eyes widened as he stared at Tang San!
Was this really his Xiaosan!?
What was he saying just now!?
"Xiaosan, are you suggesting that we just give up, and besides, you haven't been able to successfully absorb the soul bone back. These days I've been observing you for a long time and I realize you're still not up to par!!"
The father spoke bluntly.
