Chapter 148: Arrangements for Su Yun and Others, Yu Xiaogang's Reputation Ruined
Su Yun admitted that he might be an LSP (Legendary Soul Master in Progress), but he didn't consider himself a stud horse.
He didn't have any special romantic feelings towards Dugu Yan, so naturally, he wouldn't get together with her just because of Dugu Bo's suggestion.
Fortunately, Dugu Yan didn't have those kinds of feelings towards Su Yun either.
After she parted ways with Yu Tianheng, her focus had been more on cultivating diligently to not disappoint her grandfather.
Regretfully, Dugu Bo clicked his tongue at Su Yun not taking an interest in his granddaughter.
"So, Yu Xiaogang is now connected with Tang Hao?"
Inside Dugu Bo's cottage, as he recounted the events of the night, the others listened.
"Humph! I knew that waste must have been in contact with a criminal like Tang Hao. I should have crippled his legs from the start."
Chrysanthemum Douluo had no respect for someone like Yu Xiaogang.
"There's no need for Grandpa Chrysanthemum to be so angry. If Yu Xiaogang hadn't foolishly provoked senior Dugu, how could we have gotten information about Tang Hao?"
As Su Yun finished speaking, a Spirit Hall spy suddenly appeared at the door, the same one Su Yun had sent to gather information about Shrek Academy.
At Su Yun's signal, the spy came forward and whispered the news into his ear.
After the spy left, Su Yun explained to the curious crowd, "I had someone check on a person from Shrek Academy."
"Is it that particularly ugly guy?" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly spoke up from beside Su Yun.
"Oh? Zhuqing, how do you know?" Su Yun was surprised that Zhu Zhuqing could guess he was inquiring about Tang San.
Zhu Zhuqing smiled slyly, "Hehe, because during the auction, I noticed you, brother Su Yun, observing that particularly ugly boy, and I also felt something odd about him."
Su Yun patted Zhu Zhuqing's head in reward and shared, "The spy just reported that the student known as Ah San from Shrek Academy has disappeared, even vanished from the academy several days ago."
"We can now be 100% certain that Ah San is Tang San."
Su Yun's analysis, combined with the information provided by Dugu Bo about Yu Xiaogang's encounter and Tang Hao taking Tang San out, illuminated the situation for everyone.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's eyes lit up at the possibility of capturing Tang San and Tang Hao, a significant accomplishment for the Spirit Hall.
Understanding their thoughts, Su Yun turned to Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, there's no need to make public your joining the Spirit Hall for now. Your conflict with Yu Xiaogang that night is justifiable."
"Just make sure not to let Yu Xiaogang and others leave easily when the time comes."
"Dugu Yan sister doesn't need to rush absorbing the soul bone. After we capture Tang Hao and Tang San, it won't be too late."
"As for the incident of Yu Xiaogang breaking into your Sunset Forest, we'll spread the news. I'll have someone handle the dissemination."
Dugu Bo nodded, "Alright! I'll follow your arrangements."
...
Several days later.
"Hey, do you guys know Yu Xiaogang from Shrek Academy?"
"Of course! Who doesn't know that wealthy tycoon? He was the one who bought the external soul bone at the Heaven Dou auction a few days ago!"
"Damn, being rich is really something!"
"I heard the Spirit Hall called him a thief who stole their theories, with only level 29 soul power. Where did he get an eighth-grade spirit herb?"
"Hehe, I've got some insider info. Want to hear it?"
"What info?"
"I heard Yu Xiaogang got that eighth-grade spirit herb from his woman!"
"His woman? With that loser's look, who would fancy him?"
"Hehe, you don't know? His woman is none other than the former head of the Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong! It's said the Blue Tyrant Academy changed its name to Shrek Academy because Liu Erlong liked Yu Xiaogang."
The room erupted in an uproar at this revelation, disbelief written on everyone's faces.
"How is that possible?! How could such a strong woman like Liu Erlong fancy a loser?!"
"Right! With Liu Erlong's strength, she should at least be with a Soul Douluo level man!"
The gossipers found it hard to believe the claim.
Liu Erlong, with her contributions to helping civilian disciples in Heaven Dou City through the Blue Tyrant Academy, was beloved by many.
Therefore, many thought the academy's name change was simply due to Liu Erlong's whims.
But they never imagined that Liu Erlong's actions were all for a universally acknowledged loser!
How could they accept this?
The person who leaked the information, having achieved their objective, then proceeded to reveal all the details arranged by Su Yun.
"Ha, that loser actually lost the soul bone?! As expected of a loser, he couldn't even keep a soul bone safe."
"He lost the soul bone and didn't go to the empire's government but ran to Poison Douluo at night? And even plotted to kidnap someone's granddaughter?"
"What was that loser thinking?"
"Poison Douluo is a Titled Douluo, after all. If he really wanted his soul bone, was there a need to steal it?"
"He could just take it in front of that loser, who probably wouldn't dare to fart."
"Where did he get the courage to seek out Poison Douluo?"
"What? You're saying Liu Erlong went too? And the Vice Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Luomen, as well? Impossible?!"
"Ah? Yu Xiaogang is actually from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? The Sect Master's own son? I thought that was just some identity that loser made up."
"Wait a minute! Isn't Liu Erlong from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan too?"
"Doesn't that mean Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang are..."
The person was cut off mid-sentence, immediately interrupted by someone beside them: "It must be that loser Yu Xiaogang who seduced Liu Erlong!"
"Right! Liu Erlong must have been bewitched by that loser!"
"Down with Yu Xiaogang! Rescue Liu Erlong!"
"Let's go to the empire! To His Highness the Crown Prince! To seek justice for Liu Erlong!"
"..."
With the Spirit Hall's promotional help and the public's outrage in the Heaven Dou Empire, Dugu Bo "timely" appeared at the Heaven Dou Empire's palace.
Facing Emperor Xue Ye, who was enjoying his afternoon tea, along with Prince Xue Xing, Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), Xue Beng, and Xue Ke, Dugu Bo sat on a stool moved for him by someone at Emperor Xue Ye's gesture, recounting his ordeal that night.
Snow Beng and Xue Ke, who had been somewhat playful at first, immediately fell silent and stopped joking around after Dugu Bo's appearance.
The reputation of Poison Douluo was well-known, invoking fear similar to how parents might scare their children with tales of the big bad wolf at night.
Only Qian Renxue remained calm, sipping her tea and listening to Dugu Bo's narrative.
She hadn't expected someone to be so foolhardy as to trouble Dugu Bo.
Even if she had brought the Porcupine Douluo, who was considered Poison Douluo's nemesis, to her side, Qian Renxue wouldn't let him act rashly.
Moreover, Su Yun had already sent her a secret message, informing her that Dugu Bo was now his man.
"Sharing information, huh? Is this young man trying to help me?" Qian Renxue wasn't sure of Su Yun's motive.
But knowing that Dugu Bo was at least on the Spirit Hall's side, she was quite pleased.
After all, the only variable in her plan to poison Emperor Xue Ye was Dugu Bo.
"Even the Vice Sect Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan got involved?" Emperor Xue Ye's expression became slightly grave.
After all, the arrival of a Titled Douluo could lead to a major conflict if not handled properly, potentially benefiting the Spirit Hall, which was always looking for opportunities.
"Your Majesty, although I'm not exactly a good person, considering the impact of this incident, I didn't rush to kill but hoped you could mediate."
"Of course, if the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can't give me a satisfactory response, then I won't be blamed for being ruthless." Although Dugu Bo respectfully bowed to Emperor Xue Ye, the implied threat in his words was clear.
First, there was no evidence, just speculation, leading to a late-night accusation.
Then, there was an attempt to kidnap someone's granddaughter, which failed and led to a report.
If it wasn't for the face of being from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the involvement of a Vice Sect Master, he might have been killed a thousand times already!
Emperor Xue Ye sighed.
He had once heard a bit about Yu Xiaogang, thinking him to be capable of governing, but now it seemed that Yu Xiaogang was indeed just a waste as people said.
Then, Emperor Xue Ye looked up at Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) and asked, "Your Highness, do you have any solutions?"
Hearing the Emperor's question, Prince Xue Xing couldn't help but show a slight fluctuation in his eyes, which he quickly concealed.
Qian Renxue, upon hearing Emperor Xue Ye's question, set down her teacup, stood up, and respectfully addressed the Emperor and Dugu Bo, "Since Senior Dugu didn't rush to kill, it shows he doesn't want to escalate the conflict with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"This is good, as it reduces internal strife among the sects and prevents the Spirit Hall from taking advantage of the situation."
"Since Senior Dugu has informed our royal family of this matter, it's natural for us to secure the greatest benefit for Senior Dugu."
With that, Qian Renxue looked at Dugu Bo and asked, "Senior Dugu, what do you think?"
Dugu Bo, unaware of Xue Qinghe's real identity as part of the Spirit Hall, was satisfied with her words, "Since His Highness said so, I naturally agree."
"But..."
