Douluo: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 36 The Ye Family's Past

Dugu Bo took the invitation and took a look at it. The red cover was outlined with gold threads, and the word "invitation" was completely carved out of gold thread. It seemed that the owner of the invitation was of extraordinary status.

After reading the invitation, Dugu Bo looked up and said, "Is there anything else? I've accepted the invitation. You can leave now if you have nothing else."

Prince Xuexing's face froze when he heard this. This was an order to expel him, but he still said with a smile: "Then I will wait for Brother Dugu."

Afterwards, Prince Xuexing turned around and left Dugu Mansion.

"Alas." After Prince Xuexing left, Dugu Bo looked at the invitation in his hand and sighed, "Yanyan, let's eat."

"Oh."

Dugu Yan actually didn't like these nobles, so she didn't interrupt from beginning to end. She also knew that her grandfather had been saved by Prince Xuexing. In addition, it was the birthday of the King of the Tiandou Empire, so her grandfather had to go as a priest of the Tiandou Empire.

At the same time, on the other side, in the reception hall of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

"Hello, teacher." Seeing Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo walk into the living room, Qian Renxue stood up from her seat and bowed politely.

"No need to be so polite." Ning Fengzhi smiled, walked slowly to the main seat and sat down, and said with a warm face: "Qinghe, what happened today? Why did you suddenly think of coming to visit the teacher's Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the middle of the day?"

Qian Renxue sat back in her seat and said politely: "Isn't my father's birthday in a week? My father asked me to say hello to you. Also, if you are free, my father hopes you can come to his birthday party."

Ning Fengzhi smiled gently upon hearing this and said, "So that's how it is. I understand. I will go."

Since the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's industries spread across the continent and were located in the Tiandou Empire, it naturally had a very good relationship with the royal family of the Tiandou Empire. Moreover, most of the tax revenue of the Tiandou Empire came from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Not to mention that Ning Fengzhi was the master of the current prince, it was reasonable for Ning Fengzhi to go.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi agreed, Qian Renxue put the invitation on the table and said, "This is the invitation that my father asked me to give to you, Teacher. If there is nothing else, I will go back first." After that, Qian Renxue prepared to leave.

"Would you like to stay for dinner?" Ning Fengzhi tried to persuade Qian Renxue to stay when he saw her preparing to leave.

"Old fox!" Qian Renxue paused when she heard Ning Fengzhi's words, and cursed him in her heart, "Old fox." Was he trying to keep her for dinner? He was trying to test her.

However, although Qian Renxue cursed Ning Fengzhi in her heart, she still turned around and said with a smile: "No, teacher, I have already eaten before coming here. I still have important things to do in Qinghe Mansion, so I will not stay."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "Then I won't see you off. Be careful on the road."

"I will." Qian Renxue nodded, then strode out of the reception room.

Looking at Qian Renxue's leaving back, Ning Fengzhi's eyes became profound.

In the evening, Jiang Li slowly woke up from the bed.

"Well, I haven't slept so comfortably in a long time." Jiang Li muttered while stretching.

Jiang Li slept very little since he started practicing. As a level 2 innate cultivator, he practiced almost all night long. Coincidentally, his martial soul was the blue silver grass, which provided him with powerful vitality. Practice could also restore fatigue, so Jiang Li did not encounter any major problems.

As for why he slept so comfortably this time, it might be because Jiang Li had solved the problem of slow cultivation, or maybe he was too tired recently and wanted to relax.

"Forget it, let's go find the master first." Jiang Li thought to himself. He had not forgotten about Ye Renxin. If it was really as he expected, he would have to plan carefully.

Jiang Li then stood up and headed for Dugu Mansion. Not long after, Jiang Li arrived at Dugu Mansion, Dugu Bo's residence in Tiandou City.

At this time, Dugu Bo had just finished preparing dinner, and Jiang Li entered the room just in time for the dishes to be served.

"Huh? Xiao Li is here? Sit down and eat." Dugu Bo looked up and saw Jiang Li, and invited Jiang Li to sit down and eat.

Jiang Li took a casual glance and found that most of the things on the table were soul beast meat, and the quality was not low.

"That's right, come and sit down and eat. Let me tell you, my grandfather's cooking skills are very good, and most people can't even taste it." Dugu Yan boasted and also invited Jiang Li to sit down and eat.

Jiang Li smiled as he watched the grandfather and grandson invite him to sit down and eat. It happened that he hadn't eaten yet, and he couldn't refuse to eat since they were so enthusiastic. Besides, as an apprentice, what was wrong with eating the meal prepared by his master?

Then Jiang Li found a chair, sat down and started eating.

I have to say that Dugu Bo's cooking skills are really good. The food is delicious and tasty, at least at the level of a restaurant, much better than his.

During the meal, Jiang Li did not mention Ye Renxin's matter. It would not be a good idea to bring this up at the dinner table, so he planned to bring it up after the meal.

Not long after, the three of them finished their meal, and after clearing the dishes, Jiang Li was ready to tell them his purpose.

"Master, I have something to tell you." Jiang Li said.

"Huh? What's the matter? Tell me about it." Dugu Bo looked up and asked puzzledly.

"It's like this..." Jiang Li told Dugu Bo what Ye Renxin had said to him, including the matter of entrusting his son to his care.

"So why does Senior Ye do this?" Jiang Li asked.

"Ah." Dugu Bo sighed after listening to Jiang Li's story and questions, "You should know the Nine-Hearted Begonia, right?"

"Yes, it's the best healing spirit on the continent. It's called the miracle among spirits. It's said that it can save a person with just one breath. Only two people can exist at the same time." Jiang Li replied.

"It's enough to know. Let me tell you this. Due to the strong healing ability of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, many forces wanted to recruit it for their own use, such as the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Spirit Hall. However, Ye Renxin disagreed, so over the years they were suppressed and hunted by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. In the end, it was the Tiandou Imperial Family and the Spirit Hall that saved the grandfather and grandson." Dugu Bo said with a sigh.

"As for Ye Renxin telling you this, it's just in case. If something happens to him one day, let us take care of him, but you don't have to worry about it for the time being." Dugu Bo shook his head. He was powerless to do anything about this matter. If he hadn't met Jiang Li, he probably wouldn't live long, at most ten or twenty years, and his granddaughter would also die young. Thinking of this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but congratulate himself for his good luck, finding a treasure land and a good apprentice, and solving the problem of his granddaughter.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo said, "Xiao Li, I know what you want to do, but I advise you not to get involved in this matter, understand?"

Jiang Li nodded upon hearing this. Although he was unyielding, being unyielding and committing suicide were two different things. It was not a good thing to be exposed when one was still weak and incomplete.

"By the way, Xue Xing sent me an invitation today. Emperor Xue Ye's birthday is in a week. Do you want to go with us?" Dugu Bo asked.

Jiang Li lowered his head and thought for a while. His information was probably known to others, especially since Dugu Bo was always with him. As for why no one looked for him, it might be because his martial soul was Blue Silver Grass, and those people felt that he had no value in training. But now that he had become Dugu Bo's apprentice, of course he had to make Dugu Bo proud. Besides, Emperor Xue Ye's birthday should be a grand occasion, and geniuses from all major forces would be present. Maybe they could have some exchanges.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li said, "Go."

PS: I have a high fever, so there will be only two updates today. I am coding the second chapter, which will be posted later, around 8:30.
