Chapter 15: Dugu Bo Submits
Dugu Marquis Mansion.
Dugu Bo is a Marquis of the Tian Dou Empire, not because he couldn't have risen higher, but simply because he chose not to accept further elevation.
The royal family of Tian Dou insisted on gifting him the marquis mansion.
A Titled Douluo without any background or power—everyone coveted such a status.
If not for Prince Xue Xing's life-saving grace, Dugu Bo would not have accepted this mansion.
In the mansion, there are no servants; Dugu Bo had dismissed all the original staff.
Staying with him for too long was dangerous for them, and besides, who knows if any of them could be spies from other powers?
Dismissed, and that was that.
"Ah, I wonder how long I can still protect Yan Yan in this condition," Dugu Bo mused, sipping his tea in the great hall and sighing.
He was well aware of his own situation.
If not for that sacred land, he would never have broken through to become a Titled Douluo—he would have died from the backlash of his martial soul's poison.
The loss of his son and daughter-in-law made Dugu Bo deeply blame himself, thinking he had caused their demise.
But what could he do?
It was the fate of the Dugu family!
When idle, Dugu Bo would drift into thoughts, reminiscing about the past.
Just then, Dugu Bo was startled by an incredibly powerful aura approaching!
He was sure that there was no one in Tian Dou City with such presence!
Instantly, Dugu Bo tensed, ready for a confrontation.
"Ha ha ha, I wonder if Dugu Bo is at home!" a hearty laugh came from outside the door, causing Dugu Bo to pause and temporarily lower his guard.
If it were an enemy, they wouldn't announce themselves this way.
"May I know which senior is visiting? Dugu Bo is honored to welcome you!"
Acknowledging that the visitor was more powerful, Dugu Bo respectfully addressed him as "senior," which was fitting.
"It's old man Yu Yuanzhen, visiting with my grandson Tiankong!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo completely let down his guard and hurriedly opened the mansion's gate.
The visitors were accompanied by a child; surely they weren't here to fight?
Without a second thought, Dugu Bo realized the visitors harbored no ill will; they had come simply "to get acquainted."
Yu Yuanzhen was the sect leader of one of the top three sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect!
After opening the gate, Dugu Bo saw Yu Yuanzhen and the young Kong.
Both visitors appeared friendly, and without hesitation, Dugu Bo invited them into the great hall.
Given Yu Yuanzhen's age, Dugu Bo indeed should address him as a senior; after all, this elder was of his father's generation.
By the time Dugu Bo was making his name, Yu Yuanzhen had already achieved the status of a Titled Douluo!
After several rounds of tea, Dugu Bo finally spoke: "May I ask what brings Sect Leader Yu here today?"
Yu Yuanzhen smiled and waved his hand, getting straight to the point: "Poison Douluo, today I have come to discuss a very important matter!"
Dugu Bo thought Yu Yuanzhen might invite him to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, a situation he, as a Titled Douluo, would certainly be qualified to consider.
"Sect Master Yu, I've grown accustomed to my independence. If you're thinking of inviting me to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, please don't bother."
Dugu Bo waved his hand, firmly rejecting the offer.
Yu Yuanzhen and Kong were momentarily speechless.
Although they did harbor such thoughts, that wasn't actually the purpose of their visit. The grandfather and grandson exchanged a glance, each of their eyes twitching slightly at the unexpected rebuff.
Seeing their expressions, Dugu Bo was puzzled. Had he misunderstood their intentions? Their faces didn't seem right, leading to a somewhat awkward moment.
After a brief pause, Yu Yuanzhen finally spoke, "Poison Douluo, the purpose of our visit today indeed concerns a significant matter, but not the one you're thinking of."
"If, after our discussion, the Poison Douluo wishes to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, I would gladly welcome you as a vice clan leader!" Yu Yuanzhen stroked his beard, looking intently at Dugu Bo.
This left Dugu Bo somewhat confused. What could be so important? The idea of joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan after this discussion seemed utterly impossible to him.
"What exactly is the matter, Sect Master Yu?"
What could possibly be so important that even Yu Yuanzhen considered it a significant issue? "Poison Douluo, are you suffering greatly from your own poison's backlash?"
Yu Yuanzhen had barely finished his question when Dugu Bo was about to retort, but Yu Yuanzhen quickly raised his hand to stop him, "Don't rush to deny it. You know the truth of your condition."
"I have come here today to help you resolve this issue with your poisoning. Think carefully about what you should say."
Yu Yuanzhen's face was smiling, but to Dugu Bo, it looked almost demonic! Dugu Bo opened his mouth, his expression ugly, struggling with what to say next. He didn't know how Yu Yuanzhen could have discerned his condition, but what was said was indeed true.
Glancing again at Yu Yuanzhen, Dugu Bo still didn't know what to say.
If it were just about him, he would never accept such a proposal; he would rather die than lose his freedom.
But his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was still young—only twelve. She had her whole life ahead of her.
After a long silence, Dugu Bo finally clenched his teeth as if making a decision, and bowed to Yu Yuanzhen, saying, "Please save me, Sect Master Yu. If you can cure this poison, I, Dugu Bo, am willing to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Yu Yuanzhen, unlike the younger Tang San from the original story, held a position of immense authority and power. Dugu Bo didn't even need to think about Yu Yuanzhen's intentions.
If it were just about doing a few favors or owing a favor, to someone like Yu Yuanzhen, the favor of Dugu Bo wouldn't count for much.
As fellow Titled Douluos, it would be effortless for Yu Yuanzhen to deal with him if he chose to!
Seeing Dugu Bo's decision, Yu Yuanzhen's smile deepened, and he quickly stood up, walked over to Dugu Bo, and helped him to his feet, saying, "Then let me welcome the future Vice Clan Leader Dugu in advance!"
Dugu Bo didn't say much more. As long as the poison affecting him and Dugu Yan wasn't cured, he wouldn't acknowledge the title of vice clan leader.
"How can this poison be cured? I consider myself unmatched in the art of poison, yet I am utterly helpless against this spirit poison!"
Dugu Bo spoke somewhat desolately.
He had played with poisons all his life, only to be defeated by his own creations! Did he, Dugu Bo, have no pride?
In front of Yu Yuanzhen, he could only refer to himself as "I" instead of "this old man." Yu Yuanzhen was older and more advanced in cultivation—a fact Dugu Bo fully recognized.
"To cure this spirit poison is actually quite simple. But before that, could the Poison Douluo please take us, your junior and my grandfather, to your sacred land..."
