"Senior Dugu, can't you see? I'm trying to figure out a way to rescue Xiaowu. You couldn't possibly be thinking the same, could you?"
Upon hearing this, Du Gubo's face was filled with a puzzled expression as he looked at Tang San!!
Shouldn't he be with Tang Hao right now!?
Running to this place.
But Tang San still hadn't given up; as long as there was a sliver of hope, he would try every possible way to rescue Xiaowu.
"Oh, now I get it."
Stroking his beard, Du Gubo pondered.
"You plan to rescue Xiaowu behind their backs and seize the opportunity to whisk her away, but young man, I think you still don't understand. The people from Martial Soul Hall are also competing to take her. It's very likely you will never be able to take her away, not in a million years."
"You don't need me to tell you what kind of person Bi Bidong is, no one has ever dared to stand in her way once she sets her mind on something."
"Your situation resembles the experiences of your mother, Ah Yin. Speaking honestly as an elder, if you want to live, leave this place immediately; even your life isn't worth standing here."
There's no need to pay a heavy price for someone who's nearly dead!
Du Gubo said with a meaningful tone.
This was, in fact, the most he had ever spoken to Tang San!!
But it seemed like Tang San didn't take Old Poison's words seriously, feeling that the other was just trying to scare him with mysterious bluffs!
"Then should I thank you, Senior, for your concern? I, Tang San, am not as fragile as you all think, not someone who can't take hits."
"I've always believed that once Xiaowu wakes up and figures a way out, she will surely surprise you all."
Tang San said with an arrogant stance.
"Oh, since you're determined to follow your own path, I'm in no position to control you."
"Do whatever you like now, I, Du Gubo, will just stand here and keep you company," Du Gubo said with a sneer.
Ah! As if he needs this old guy to keep him company!
You are not his father, how could you be needed to accompany him? That's utterly ridiculous!
"This... Senior Dugu, I don't need anyone to accompany me, I can manage on my own."
"When my father is done with his tasks, he will come to help me immediately. You can leave if you have other matters to attend to,"
"Xiaowu is mine and no one dares to take her from me."
"As for Ye Feng, who had falsely accused me first, I will find time to deal with that grudge," Tang San said to him.
It seems like he really believed it was true.
Did you think that what Du Gubo had just said could also be true?
How could it possibly be true!!
He had just been casually conversing with Tang San to pass the time.
Do you think Du Gubo wasn't aware of what Tang San was thinking deep down?
Even without him stating it outright, it was clear to see.
"Ye Feng, Ye Feng is indeed not an easy person to get along with, I've long disapproved of him, and my heart has always been very dissatisfied with him,"
"Why don't we join forces and kill him? What do you think of that idea?!" Du Gubo said with gleaming eyes.
If Ye Feng had heard him say this, who knows how heartbroken he would be? At this moment, Old Poison was rotten to the core!!
"Senior Du Gu Bo, I thought you had a good relationship with Ye Feng. Why suddenly think of teaming up with me against Ye Feng, what happened to make you hate him so much," Tang San asked with a puzzled look.
"Do you really want to know?"
"You'll have to keep it a secret for me. If he finds out, that'd be the end of me."
"I've often been humiliated by Ye Feng in front of others, beaten black and blue by him every now and then. If it were you, could you stand being violently beaten by him every day?"
"I've done no small amount of work for him, and he repays me with beatings."
"That's why I've decided to give him a harsh lesson," Du Gubo said with a serious demeanor.
Suddenly, a beam of soul force appeared in front of Du Gubo!!
When Du Gubo turned to look at that beam of soul force, Tang San was already in front of him.
Could it be that this beam of soul force was released by Tang San!
In that moment, Du Gubo looked utterly bewildered.
"Old Poison."
A familiar voice.
Ye Feng has arrived.
Wasn't he staying with Bi Bidong and the others?
How did he run back here!
Strange!
But he had said many bad things about the other party not long ago, and he dared not look directly at them.
His eyes were dodging!
"Old Poison, did you do something shameful? What's wrong with your eyes? Are they uncomfortable, or did you secretly do something behind my back that you owe me an apology for?"
He had guessed it indeed, but Du Gubo didn't directly admit in front of him that he indeed had said some unpleasant words.
Rather, he said it to the enemies of Ye Feng!
Ye Feng's gaze was fixed on him!!
"You're overthinking it; I just had a brief chat with Tang San."
"Just look at what he's doing now. I was just helping you to stop his actions," Du Gubo said towards him.
So Ye Feng really looked over at Tang San in the not-too-distant place.
Tang San was releasing his soul power, trying to rescue Xiaowu, but failure after failure was a heavy blow to him!
His limited capabilities were unable to protect his beloved!
"Oh, I see him. He couldn't possibly have the power to break through the soul power, but there is a way. Unless he stakes his own life as a guarantee, I might consider letting Xiaowu out," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"You've got some nerve, kid, deceiving all of them while I'm the only one helping you hide the truth,"
"How long do you plan to fool them? A hundred-thousand-year soul beast is very important to Bi Bidong, and this woman has to be the one who chooses a soul beast to turn into a human," Du Gubo sighed.
Good luck to you then!!
"Tang San, how did you get here? Aren't you going to check on your father's condition?!"
"I feel sad for your father; he ended up having a useless guy who causes trouble everywhere and makes me clean up your mess."
"Hiss—"
A beam of soul force appeared, ready to strike at any moment.
"Ye Feng, you've got some nerve. I now command you to release Xiaowu immediately, or else I will fight you to the death,"
Tang San was being too naive!!
"Even if you trade your life for Xiaowu, I'm afraid your little life might not be enough to exchange for her," retorted Ye Feng with sarcasm.
"Bang—"
A Datura snake manifested onto Tang San's body.
His gaze fixed on Ye Feng, with saliva dripping to the ground.
But that's no ordinary saliva!
It's venom!
"Flayer, be careful!"
Senior Du Gu Bo hastily spoke out.
There they go, fighting again; Senior Du Gu Bo could only stand by and watch.
There was no need for him to take action lightly.
As long as Ye Feng didn't speak, he could only watch obediently.
"Shut your mouth. Don't think I don't know what you just said to Tang San."
"Once I've dealt with this, I'll settle the score with you," Ye Feng promptly said.
His ears were sensitive enough to have overheard.
Damn it, if only I had known better than to idle chat with Tang San and dig my own grave.
Ah well, might as well wait and see!
Senior Dugu sighed with resignation.
