"Yes!"
Qian Renxue openly admitted.
She picked up the ginseng tea that Qian Renjue had just set down, took a sip, and explained, "A while ago, I sent Snake Lance to kill him, but he managed to escape."
"Did Sister send someone to kill him?"
Qian Renjue was a bit confused and looked at Qian Renxue with curiosity. "Why did Sister suddenly want to kill him?"
"Think about it. Dugu Bo is now a Rank 89 Soul Douluo. It's only a matter of time before he breaks through to Title Douluo, and he also possesses large-scale destructive soul skills. He's a threat to any power!"
When discussing serious matters, Qian Renxue became much more serious.
She held Qian Renjue's arm, leaning against his shoulder, her voice a bit cold.
"And yet, he stubbornly refused my offer. For the sake of our Spirit Hall's grand cause, I naturally have to take precautions and eliminate these potential threats in advance."
"I see."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly, what she said was indeed made sense.
Once Dugu Bo became a Title Douluo, targeting him would indeed become very difficult.
If he wanted to escape, it would be nearly impossible to kill him, and failure to do so would only result in frenzied retaliation.
This is also why Duguu Bo, as a wild Title Douluo, could stay independent among major powers.
"Hmph!"
Qian Renxue snorted, still angry in her heart.
The things Dugu Bo did to the Spirit Empire in the last life were already deserving of a torturous punishment
She had given him a chance out of kindness, and he actually dared to refuse.
It was simply unforgivable!
With this thought, Qian Renxue pinched the ears of the pink rabbit in her arms, twisting them slightly and sneering, "If it weren't for the reason that they are already only had a few people in the Dugu family, I might have already sent someone to bloodily cleanse them."
"Ugh!"
(Your Highness sister is so terrifying!)
The soft-boned rabbit trembled, its ears hurting a bit, but it didn't dare to move.
Instead, it nuzzled against Qian Renxue in a flattering manner.
"Uh..."
Qian Renxue's lips twitched slightly.
Even just sitting next to her, he could feel the coldness emanating from her.
Although he was already aware of Qian Renxue's strong personality, he still felt that if the Dugu family were to be wiped out just because of a failed attempt to win over Dugu Bo, it was indeed a bit too cruel.
However, Qian Renxue did not think much of it.
He assumed there were some details about the attempt to win over Dugu Bo that he was unaware of, which had angered Qian Renxue.
"So, does Sister know where Dugu Bo has run off to?"
Qian Renjue asked again.
He gently nuzzled Qian Renxue's hair, inhaling its faint fragrance.
"He should still be hiding in the Sunset Forest."
Qian Renxue relaxed her cold demeanor, leaning closer to Qian Renjue's shoulder.
Her lovely face was right by his ear, her red lips almost touching his neck.
Her white teeth parted slightly as she spoke, "Dugu Bo must have been seriously injured. When he fled, he took his sick son and granddaughter with him and disappeared into the Sunset Forest."
"Really?"
Qian Renjue slightly furrowed his brows, feeling a tickling sensation from the red lips on his neck.
With a spatial treasure like the Hundred Treasure Purse, escaping with people would be convenient.
"Sister, maybe I know where he is, but it might require Snake Lance Douluo and the others to search personally."
"Mm?"
Qian Renxue suddenly sat up, her beautiful face showing surprise.
"How do you know?"
"I actually want something that's in the Sunset Forest—the Dugu Bo's medicinal herb field. I suspect Dugu Bo is hiding there."
Qian Renjue explained with a smile.
"Good! Since that's the case, we'll go to the Sunset Forest tomorrow and drag that old poisoner out!"
Qian Renxue's face showed a smile.
Some strange things had happened to Qian Renjue before, and she was long accustomed to them.
Her brother was her brother, and she liked him no matter what.
No one could change that!
"Mm."
Qian Renjue smiled and nodded.
Soon, the dishes Qian Renxue had ordered were served.
The soft-boned rabbit could finally leave Qian Renxue's embrace.
It obediently lay by the table, waiting for Qian Renjue to put some of the delicious food onto its plate.

-Sunset Forest-
In the poisonous mist-covered conical valley.
At the very center of the bottom was a spring with red and white waters clearly separated.
The ultimate fire and ultimate ice did not clash with each other.
At the junction of the scorching red spring and the freezing white spring, thick mist was rising slowly.
Around the spring were various medicinal herbs, colorful and fragrant.
At the center of the spring was a large flat area with several small wooden houses.
"Ah—!"
At this moment, painful cries were coming from the wooden houses.
A middle-aged man with dark green short hair was rolling on the bed, clutching his head.
His dark green eyes were bloodshot, and he was letting out hoarse cries.
"Ah—its really hurt! Ah—"
Dugu Xin gritted his teeth, and green veins were spreading across his firm chest through his open collar.
His mouth was drooling, and veins were bulging.
"Daddy, Daddy. Hold on, Yanyan is going to call Grandpa."
The little girl with purple long hair by the bed had dropped the hot medicinal porridge on the floor.
Her green eyes were welling up with tears as she anxiously ran outside.
She knocked on the door.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, please help Daddy. Quickly, quickly come help Daddy. Grandpa!"
Knock, knock!
The urgent knocking sounded like raindrops, and Dugu Yan's small hands were red from knocking.
Her small face was full of exhaustion and fear.
Inside the empty wooden house, a figure with long dark green hair and wearing a gray robe was sitting cross-legged.
Underneath him were two yellow, two purple, and four black soul rings.
He looked pale and his breathing was irregular.
The urgent knocking continued, and the figure groaned, his face reddening, but soon he settled back down.
"Grandpa, Grandpa! Please come out. Daddy is about to die!"
The cries and screams from outside were clearly audible.
"Xin'er!"
Dugu Bo's eyes widened, filled with a fierce and impatient look.
He immediately stood up and opened the door with a wave of his hand.
Dugu Yan, whose eyes wrre swollen from crying, ran up to Dugu Bo and said in a panicked voice:
"Grandpa, hurry!"
"Let's go!"
Dugu Bo didn't waste any further words.
He grabbed his granddaughter's small hand and rushed towards Dugu Xin's room.
"Ah—! It hurts so much, Dad. Kill, kill me!"
Dugu Xin lifted his swollen head from the bed, his face covered in tears, curled up and trembling on the bed.
"Daddy!"
Dugu Yan covered her small mouth, her tear-streaked face showing fear and deep pain.
"Xin'er, Dad will save you. Just hold on, hold on a little longer!"
Dugu Bo quickly moved forward, lifted Dugu Xin, and sat behind him, channeling his soul power to suppress the backlash of the snake venom.
