"Also, your body has been corroded by poison for decades. It's not something that can be cured overnight. It will take time, at least half a year.
However, your granddaughter, Dugu Yan, is still young. As long as you find a soul bone for her to contain the poison, I am 100% confident that I can cure her instantly without any side effects. This is the truth. It's up to you to believe it or not! "
Fang Xuan's face was calm as he stared at Dugu Bo.
"Yanyan …"
At the mention of his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Bo's cold eyes immediately softened. "Alright, I've lived for so long. These old bones don't matter. As long as you can cure Yanyan, that's good enough"
"Don't worry. With me around, you and your granddaughter will live to a hundred years old"
Fang Xuan first spoke big words to use as capital for negotiation.
"Let's hope so" Dugu Bo rolled his eyes.
"However …" Fang Xuan's tone changed as he began to negotiate. "I saved both your lives. Don't tell me you're thinking of letting me go to make up for it. Wouldn't that be a huge loss for me?"
Dugu Bo's face darkened. "Kid, I've dominated the continent for decades. Even the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire has to be respectful to me. How dare you negotiate with me?"
"Forget it if you don't want to negotiate. Let's play together. One of my lives in exchange for two of yours. That's a big deal," Fang Xuan said nonchalantly.
"You …" Dugu Bo pointed at Fang Xuan but couldn't say a word. He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him.
This kid was too cunning.
He had no choice. He had been caught red-handed and could only admit defeat. After all, he didn't want to die from the poison.
"Alright, kid. Other than sparing your life, I'll agree to one more condition. Is that okay?" Dugu Bo finally compromised.
Eh?
Why was there only one condition? Wasn't there supposed to be three conditions?
Fang Xuan frowned. He felt that his halo couldn't compared to Tang San's.
Tang San had three conditions, while Fang Xuan had only one condition.
Therefore, he decided to develop his brain and use his wisdom to obtain the greatest benefits from Dugu Bo.
Fang Xuan thought hard for a while and thought of a good way to make use of this condition. "How about this, Senior Dugu, I'm not a greedy person. My condition is that you help me do three things! It's not too much, right?"
The corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly. This kid is a f*cking genius.
Why don't you let this old man do ten things for you?
"Just one! Other than guaranteeing your safety, this old man can also help you with one thing for free. There's no room for discussion." He said with a dark expression.
"Tsk"
It was definitely because the halo was not strong enough.
Fang Xuan pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
At this time, Dugu Bo quietly looked at Fang Xuan and said, "Looks like the Emperor was wrong. Everyone was wrong. You are not the trash that everyone thinks you are. Instead, you are a blackhearted scoundrel.
But in this world, scoundrels live longer than good people … "
"Are you praising me? It's an honor" Fang Xuan said.
"I wonder if Xue Ye will regret his decision …" Dugu Bo muttered in a low voice.
Although the voice was very soft, Fang Xuan could still hear it. He was puzzled as he asked, "What decision?"
Dugu Bo just looked at him deeply and didn't say anything.
… …
Time passed.
Before he knew it, Fang Xuan had already stayed at Dugu Bo's place for three whole days.
The official competition of the Prodigy Tournament will be held at noon today. It would be the most lively event in Heaven Dou Academy. He decided to leave.
This competition was different from the previous preliminaries. It was a free-for-all between a group of low-ranked students. Almost no important figures would pay attention to it. Once the official competition began, it would attract the attention of the entire nation.
Presumably, the imperial family, nobles, and various large sects would all send people to watch today.
In these three days, Fang Xuan had benefited greatly.
His soul power was almost at the level of the most outstanding geniuses. Furthermore, this was a good opportunity to test his progress. Therefore, he wouldn't miss this competition.
It was noon, and the fiery red sun hung high in the sky.
There were no clouds in the sky, and it was a rare day of good weather.
Fang Xuan stood by the stream in the Icefire Yin Yang Well. He raised his hand to touch the space ring that was filled to the brim. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. It was time to leave.
Dugu Yan had left yesterday and returned to Heaven Dou Academy to prepare for today's competition.
Heaven Dou Academy was built outside Heaven Dou City. It wasn't far from Dugu Bo's Soul Beast Forest. If he ran at full speed, Fang Xuan could reach Heaven Dou Academy in less than an hour. He would arrive just in time for the start of the competition.
The official competition this time consisted of fifty students who were below Rank 30 from the preliminaries and fifty Heaven Dou students who were above Rank 30. It was a large-scale competition of a hundred people.
The competition used an elimination system. Opponents were chosen by drawing lots. The loser would be eliminated.
Due to the large number of participants, the competition would take a long time. It would probably last for a few days.
After thinking for a while, Fang Xuan was about to leave when an angry roar exploded from the sky.
"Stinking brat! Stop right there"
Dugu Bo's green hair stood on end as he descended from the sky. He glared at Fang Xuan, his eyes almost spitting fire.
"Oh, Senior Dugu. Good afternoon. Are you here to thank me? You're welcome." Fang Xuan revealed a pure smile.
The past two days of treatment had been very effective.
Ever since Dugu Bo had taken the antidote that Fang Xuan had concocted, the pain from the poison had lessened significantly. His attitude towards Fang Xuan had also improved significantly.
Yesterday, Fang Xuan had told Dugu Bo about returning to the academy. Dugu Bo had agreed, so he thought that Dugu Bo was here to send him off and thank him.
"Thank you my ass. You've ruined my herb garden, and you still want to leave?"
Dugu Bo pointed at the looted herb garden and flew into a rage. The herb garden, which was originally lush and full of immortal herbs and precious herbs, had long been dug up. There was dirt everywhere, and not a single spot was intact.
Seeing that his beloved herb garden had been destroyed by Fang Xuan, he was so angry that he jumped up on the spot.
"Oh, about that …"
Fang Xuan said calmly, "You promised. These herbs are my condition. What do you think? It's not too much, right? Am I very reasonable?"
Dugu Bo felt that he was in the wrong. He pleaded,
"Then you have to leave some for me, right? You can't take them all away, right?"
"I did," Fang Xuan said.
"What the f * ck did you leave?" Dugu Bo pointed at the bare ground.
"I left the roots and seeds for you. They'll grow back in a few years."
Dugu Bo was speechless.
"Goodbye, old monster. I still have to rush to the competition, so I won't keep you company. Remember to come to me on time to get the antidote" Fang Xuan waved goodbye to Dugu Bo and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"Brat, I curse you to get beaten to death in the competition."
Dugu Bo cursed in exasperation as he watched the figure disappear into the distance.
