Chapter 99: Yu Tianheng's Choice
Does the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan have soul bones? Of course, they do.
The only difference is in quantity and the quality of the years.
But even if the quality of the soul bones is poor, it's still better than having none at all.
Nowadays, on the entire continent, soul masters who possess soul bones are extremely rare.
Only ancient sects and influential forces like their Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan can pass down soul bones.
"Putting aside whether these soul bones are suitable for Dugu Yan or not, even if we have them, we can't give them to her."
"She's an outsider who has made no contributions to the family. If we just give her a soul bone for no reason, how do you think the other branches of the family will react?"
Yu Luomei calmly looked at Yu Tianheng and said, "Are you suggesting that just because Dugu Yan is your fiancée, she's entitled to a soul bone?"
"But..."
Yu Tianheng was about to speak, but Yu Luomei raised her hand to interrupt him.
"I know what you want to say."
"You want to say that if you marry Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo will become a member of our Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's family, right?"
As soon as Yu Luomei said this, Yu Tianheng's expression froze, and then he nodded silently.
"Foolish!"
Yu Luomei said coldly, "Have you forgotten Dugu Bo's performance tonight?"
"At that time, he couldn't even suppress the poison on his granddaughter."
"A Titled Douluo, unable to suppress the poison on a Soul Grandmaster. You should be able to tell that the poison in his body has accumulated to what extent."
Yu Luomei judged that even if Dugu Bo stopped cultivating soul power, the poison in his body would eventually kill him.
At most, he wouldn't live for more than ten years; Dugu Bo would die!
A Titled Douluo who couldn't even live for ten years was of almost no value to their Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.
"For the sake of two dying individuals, you think that even if we agree, the elders of the family will agree?"
Yu Luomei's tone was cold.
Yu Yuanzhen continued, "Currently, the only one who can treat both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan is Su Yun from the Martial Soul Hall."
"Do you think, Tianheng, that the people of the Martial Soul Hall will allow their genius, who wastes time on saving two outsiders, to practice on ordinary days?"
Once Yu Yuanzhen said this, Yu Tianheng was forced to swallow his retort.
Yes.
Today, he also witnessed Su Yun's abilities.
However, such a method of treatment would undoubtedly consume a significant amount of Su Yun's energy and time.
And with Su Yun's talent and identity, the Martial Soul Hall would never allow him to waste his practice time on two outsiders.
Dugu Bo was indeed very strong, even a Titled Douluo.
But within the Martial Soul Hall, there was no shortage of Titled Douluos.
Moreover, Dugu Bo was the lowest-ranked among the Titled Douluos.
"So, Grandfather, do you want me to abandon her at the most critical moment for Yan Yan and them?"
Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth.
"The family's interests come above all else."
Yu Yuanzhen said calmly, "If you are now a Titled Douluo, you will have enough say in the family."
"Even when it comes to the allocation of soul bones, those elders won't have the qualifications to interfere with you."
"But now, you're just an undeveloped soul master. Since you've enjoyed the family's benefits, you naturally have to follow the family's arrangements when it comes to major matters."
"With your talent, in the future, marrying a talented woman from a major force will not be difficult."
"Do you remember the girl next to Prince Ning Feng of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School today?"
"She's Ning Rongrong, Prince Ning Feng's only daughter, and currently the most talented genius in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, with a nine-level innate soul power."
"After the disappearance of the Haotian Sect, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School are the last two of the upper three sects."
"If you can marry her, then our Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School will be able to form a close alliance, and the family's future development will also thrive."
"However, if you insist on staying with Dugu Yan, then of course, I won't force it."
"However, starting from tomorrow, the family will no longer provide any assistance to you, and you will no longer be a member of my Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan."
Every word of Yu Yuanzhen's statement landed like a heavy blow, hammering Yu Tianheng's heart.
Yu Tianheng's voice echoed in his mind, causing his head to ache.
Yu Tianheng knew deep down that his grandfather was right.
For the family, the priority was always their interests.
For the family, a woman who couldn't carry on the family line and a Titled Douluo on the brink of death had absolutely no value.
The family wouldn't foot the bill for someone like him, who hadn't fully developed yet.
After all, the family had other talents besides him.
For example, among the same generation in the Thunderbolt Academy, there was Yu Tianxin, whose talent was no weaker than his.
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Will you give up on Dugu Yan, or will you leave the family?"
Yu Yuanzhen said calmly, "I'll remind you in advance that if you leave the family, all the resources you had before will be transferred to Yu Tianxin."
"If you change your mind and want to come back in the future, you won't have a place in the family."
Under the gaze of the two elders from both families, Yu Tianheng felt a level of pressure he had never experienced before.
He had never imagined that he would one day face such a dilemma.
He had originally thought that as long as he got through tonight, he could be with the girl he loved openly and honestly.
But he didn't expect that everything would change in just one night.
After a long silence, Yu Tianheng finally looked up at his two grandfathers.
There was a calmness in his eyes as he said, "I'm sorry, both grandfathers, but Tianheng will disappoint you."
With that, he turned and walked out of the room without even looking at his two elders' expressions.
Seeing Yu Tianheng's attitude, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomei also knew what choice he had made.
Bang!
Yu Yuanzhen slapped the table in front of him into pieces and angrily shouted, "Fool!"
"For the sake of a woman, you're willing to give up your future!"
He had thought that his grandson would be a smart person, but he never expected him to be just as stubborn as his useless son.
Oh no, not the same.
At least Tianheng wasn't a waste.
Yu Luomei, seeing her older brother so angry, tried to persuade him, "Big brother, there's no need to be so angry. Tianheng's decision is probably due to his youth and shallow thinking. We can talk to him again in a few days."
"As long as he works hard in cultivation, in the future, our Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan will definitely have another Titled Douluo."
"You don't have to be angry with him."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in his chest.
"Let's do as you say."
"If it's really impossible, we can knock him out in a few days and confine him to the family."
Yu Tianxin nodded, "Alright."
...
After leaving Yu Yuanzhen's residence, Yu Tianheng arrived downstairs.
As soon as he stepped out, he saw a familiar figure leaning against the side, watching him.
Yu Tianheng couldn't help but exclaim, "Senior Dugu!"
