Faced with her questioning, Fang Ling was also puzzled:
"Yeah, I find it weird too."
"Logically speaking, Sister Yanyan, you are the granddaughter of His Majesty Bilin, the world's number one poison attribute spirit master, so you shouldn't be poisoned."
"how..."
Dugu Yan had a cold light in her eyes as she stared at Fang Ling quietly without interrupting him.
Fang Ling touched his hair and smiled bitterly: "At first I thought I was seeing things."
"Sister Yanyan, you know my intuition, but what you don't know is that it's not just a combat intuition."
"Although it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, after watching it for so long, I am finally more willing to believe in this thing that has saved my life more than once."
"Intuition..." Dugu Yan clenched his hands into fists, with crackling sounds coming from between his knuckles. His fingertips were even deeply embedded in the flesh of his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.
There was an indescribable sense of fear in my heart.
If Fang Ling was sure about what she was saying, then she would definitely think it was just a joke.
This is just a lame excuse made up to escape.
But it was illusory, but everyone had seen it directly. The "intuition" of easily breaking Yu Tianheng's dragon scales made her feel extremely terrified, and her body was shaking.
Ye Lingling was also very shocked, as if she had heard a shocking secret.
I couldn't help but hold my breath, afraid of disturbing something.
She noticed Dugu Yan's condition, pressed herself close to her, and tried to bring her a little comfort and warmth with her body temperature.
"Lingling, thank you."
Dugu Yan patted Ye Lingling's hand and forced a smile.
Fang Ling's thunderbolt exploded like a bolt from the blue, breaking through a layer of window paper and waking her up almost instantly.
She figured out a lot.
Including her grandfather's physical condition that was very different from that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, why her parents died inexplicably when she was a child, and the so-called "health pills".
At the time I thought it was normal, but I didn't expect...
Dugu Yan silently took out a jade bottle from the soul guide, and then poured out a brown pill from it.
Pick it up with your slender index finger and thumb, hold it flat in front of your eyes and examine it carefully.
She introduced them to the two of them:
"This is the health-preserving pill my grandfather prepared specifically for me. He said it can strengthen the body and regulate the qi and blood."
"He also specifically told me that the ingredients are extremely precious and a family secret, and that I must not give them to anyone else."
With a slight sigh, she handed it to Ye Lingling,
"Lingling, your Nine Heart Begonia family has a long tradition of medicine. You have been familiar with medical books since childhood. Can you smell what is inside?"
Ye Lingling tried and shook her head slightly: "Sorry, I can't tell."
"It's okay. After all, it's grandpa who matched me." Dugu Yan smiled very unnaturally, as if she suddenly didn't know how to smile.
"Today's matter is of great importance. I was the one who involved you, Lingling and Fang Ling. Please do not disclose this matter to anyone."
Dugu Yan had just finished speaking when his expression changed and he immediately changed his words.
"No, please come home with me immediately."
Upon hearing that she was going to meet Du Douluo, a ruthless man with a strange personality, Ye Lingling suddenly felt at a loss, and her pretty face was full of fear.
She subconsciously looked at Fang Ling.
Fang Lingning nodded: "Okay."
"Fang Ling~" Ye Lingling pulled him with a bitter face, almost like she was about to cry.
"Knowing this secret, we have no right to refuse." Fang Ling squeezed her soft little hand and said a cold fact, "Nine-Hearted Begonia can't do it either."
"Sorry, I shouldn't have involved you, Lingling." Dugu Yan felt that today's joke was too big.
Originally, he wanted to help Lingling find out Fang Ling's true character, but he never thought that the reason was related to her.
She could only say: "Grandpa may seem cruel and bloodthirsty, with a weird personality, but he is actually a reasonable person and never kills innocent people."
"If you know too much, you are no longer innocent. I only know that only the dead can keep secrets." Fang Ling said silently.
Dugu Yan couldn't refute it, and her eyes were fierce: "Then I will use my life to ensure the safety of both of you." "Let's go."
Fang Ling held Ye Lingling's hand and scratched her palm.
While relieving a slight itch, he also soothed her: "Sister Lingling, don't worry, just watch me."
Under Fang Ling's encouraging gaze, Ye Lingling finally regained some strength and said with a tearful tone, "Okay."
The three of them quickly left the academy and ran towards Tiandou City.
The soul master did not take the so-called carriage. He walked very fast and it did not take him long to cover a distance of 20 kilometers.
…
Tiandou City, Dugu Mansion.
When the servant at the door saw the person coming, he immediately opened the heavy door respectfully.
"Miss."
"Um."
Dugu Yan nodded slightly.
In the past, he had the leisure to say hello to them, but now he was so confused that he could only hurriedly take the two of them into the mansion.
Pausing slightly on the scenic corridor, Duguyan reminded the two:
"I know you are scared, but you will see Grandpa soon, so remember... remember to observe etiquette."
She couldn't say what the precautions were, so she could only remind both of them to be polite.
If it doesn't work, save yourself with your own life!
Dugu Yan, feeling deeply guilty, took Fang Ling and Ye Lingling to find Dugu Bo in a pavilion.
What appeared before him was a tall and thin old man wearing a simple gray robe and with a slightly evil look.
His hair and beard were both a deep dark green, and his eyes were like deep green gems, revealing indifference and death, emitting a heart-pounding green light.
His cheeks were sunken and his green hair was messy, as if it had not been taken care of for a long time.
When he saw the person coming, he had no expression on his face, or rather, his expression was completely stiff.
Although he was right in front of me, he seemed to be lying on the recliner, yet he gave me an unreal feeling, as if he was a phantom.
"I am Fang Ling from Tiandou Imperial Academy. I greet His Majesty the Bilin."
"I am Ye Lingling from the Nine-Hearted Begonia Ye Family. I greet His Majesty the Bilin."
Fang Ling and Ye Lingling were both startled and quickly bowed respectfully.
"Fang Ling and the little girl from the Ye family? Yanyan brought her classmates to play at home this afternoon."
Dugu Bo closed the yellowed book in his hand and spoke with a hint of surprise.
His reputation is so bad, is there anyone who dares to come to Dugu Mansion?
Delighted that his granddaughter has found a friend, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, get up quickly."
However, Dugu Yan did not answer the question just now, but just stared at him blankly.
"Yanyan, what's wrong?" Dugu Bo noticed something was wrong.
A tear fell from the corner of Dugu Yan's eye, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Grandpa, what exactly is the health-promoting pill?"
Dugu Bo instantly dismissed everyone, his face suddenly changed, and he almost crushed the ancient book in his hand.
"Yanyan, who did you give it to? Who said that?"
His eyes instantly locked onto Fang Ling and Ye Lingling.
Fang Ling dodged and stood in front of Ye Lingling: "Senior Rong, this has nothing to do with Sister Lingling. Sister Yanyan didn't give us the pills either. I saw it first."
"He's still a kind and gentle little fellow."
Dugu Bo followed his wish and snorted coldly. An extremely powerful soul force pressure, as heavy as a mountain, pressed down on Fang Ling's shoulders.
Almost in an instant, his breathing stopped.
