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

Chapter 40 Testing
Dugu Bo naturally noticed the reaction on the podium, but he didn't care. Some things will always be known, and it makes no difference whether it is earlier or later. Besides, what does it have to do with you if I, Dugu Bo, pay attention to a junior, not to mention that he is my apprentice.

"Look, they came over right after the introduction." Dugu Bo gestured to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li followed Dugu Bo's gaze and saw Ning Fengzhi and the others. They were obviously coming for them, or to be more precise, for him, to test their bottom line.

Soon, Ning Fengzhi and his companions arrived near Dugu Bo and his companion.

"Your Majesty Dugu, long time no see." Ning Fengzhi greeted Dugu Bo.

"Yeah, it's been a long time since we last met." Dugu Bo replied indifferently. What do you mean by long time no see? We just met, how could you have forgotten?
Then Dugu Bo looked at the little Lolita in Ning Fengzhi's arms and said, "Is this your girl?"

"Yes, this is my girl, Ning Rongrong. Rongrong calls Dugu Grandpa." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Ning Rongrong raised her head and called out crisply, "Hello, Grandpa Dugu."

"Hahaha, so good, Rongrong is so cute." Dugu Bo laughed.

"Of course, Rongrong is very popular." Ning Rongrong smiled and narrowed her eyes after hearing Dugu Bo's praise.

Perhaps because she was still young, Ning Rongrong didn't have so many thoughts at this moment.

Then Ning Rongrong pointed at Jiang Li and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful. Can you play with me?"

"Puchi! Hahaha, Jiang Li, did you hear that? People call you sister." Dugu Yan laughed while making fun of Jiang Li.

Jiang Li's forehead was filled with black lines when he heard this. After his martial soul evolved, he was mistaken for a girl many times, and he didn't want that to happen.

But no matter what he thought, plus she was a little girl, and children's words were not restrained, so Jiang Li smiled and said: "I am a boy."

Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Li said this, Ning Rongrong was stunned. She lowered her head and thought for a while before saying, "Can my brother be so beautiful?"

Ning Fengzhi was also confused by Ning Rongrong and quickly stopped her, saying, "Okay, Rongrong, I'm your brother. Don't call me your sister just because I'm pretty. Apologize now."

"Ah?" Ning Rongrong had a lot of doubts in her little head, why a boy would be so handsome, but she still listened to Ning Fengzhi's words and apologized to Jiang Li: "I'm sorry, brother, Rongrong admitted her mistake."

It’s no wonder that Ning Rongrong now looks nothing like the little witch she used to be and is still very obedient.

Jiang Li didn't want to make a fuss about the child. After Ning Rongrong apologized, Jiang Li said, "It's okay. Don't recognize the wrong gender next time."

Ning Rongrong nodded and promised: "I won't admit my mistake next time. Can you play with me, brother?"

"Okay, Rongrong, Daddy still has something to say. Why don't you go play with Grandpa Jian first?" Ning Fengzhi said while rubbing Ning Rongrong's head.

"Oh, okay." Ning Rongrong's little face immediately drooped, looking unhappy, but she still followed Jian Douluo away.

After Ning Rongrong left, Ning Fengzhi looked at Jiang Li and said, "What's your name, young friend?"

Jiang Li's mouth twitched, and he thought, "As expected of a troublemaker, he comes right up to me and tries to find out my background."

"Greetings to Sect Master Ning, Your Highness the Crown Prince. My name is Jiang Li, and Senior Dugu is my master." Jiang Li said with a bow.

Ning Fengzhi and the others were stunned when they heard this. Dugu Bo accepted a disciple? What a strange thing. You know, Dugu Bo has always been a loner, why would he accept a disciple?
At the same time, Ning Fengzhi felt that Jiang Li sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. As a smart person, Ning Fengzhi quickly reacted and continued, "Nothing, just curiosity. To be accepted as a disciple by His Majesty Dugu, there must be something special about him, right?"

At the same time, Qian Renxue was also looking at Jiang Li curiously, as if she wanted to see what was so special about Jiang Li that he could be accepted as a disciple by Dugu Bo.

But as she observed Qian Renxue, she found that there was nothing unusual about Jiang Li, except that he looked good. The only strange thing was that she could not sense Jiang Li's cultivation level.

"Strange, why can't I sense his cultivation?" Qian Renxue frowned and thought.

She had read Jiang Li's intelligence, and at that time she had given him an evaluation that he did not need to be won over. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, not only had his appearance changed, but she could no longer sense his soul power.

"It seems that he may have got some chance, otherwise there wouldn't be such a big change. If this is the case, my evaluation of him needs to be improved." Qian Renxue thought.

“What are your Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Sect Master Ning talking about? I just caught the Master’s eye by chance.” Jiang Li tried to smooth things over.

"My friend, don't be so modest. Since you have been accepted as a disciple by His Majesty Dugu, you must be special. Otherwise, His Majesty Dugu would not have accepted you as a disciple." Ning Fengzhi complimented Jiang Li when he heard what he said.

"It's nothing, actually. It's just that I have some knowledge of medical skills and martial spirit theory, so the master accepted me as his apprentice." Jiang Li scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

This time Ning Fengzhi finally reacted. He said why Jiang Li sounded so familiar. It turned out that he was the one Dugu Bo brought out from Ye’s Clinic.

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi's interest also dropped a little. After all this time, he was still the same Blue Silver Grass Soul Master. Blue Silver Grass was just a useless martial spirit and was of no use.

However, Ning Fengzhi was somewhat puzzled. Why did his appearance change? Could it be because of the absorption of the spirit ring? It should be the case. It is normal for a spirit master to change after absorbing a spirit ring.

Although Ning Fengzhi looked down on Blue Silver Grass, Jiang Li was the apprentice of a Titled Douluo, so he still had to give him the respect he deserved. Then Ning Fengzhi said, "Xiao Jiang, can I call you that?"

"If Sect Master Ning wants to call you, you can."

"You don't have to be so reserved. I'm several decades older than you. If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Ning."

"Hello, Uncle Ning." Jiang Li was reluctant in his heart, but still called him Uncle Ning.

"Since the teacher has said so, then I am a few years older than you. From now on, I will call you Brother Jiang, and you can call me Brother Xue."

"It turns out that none of the powerful people are easy to get along with." Jiang Li complained in his heart.

"Then I will respectfully obey your orders, Brother Xue." There is no other way, the situation is stronger than the person.

Afterwards, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe began to test Jiang Li's medical skills and martial spirit theory intentionally or unintentionally. Jiang Li answered most of the questions fluently.

Ning Fengzhi soon got an evaluation of Jiang Li in his heart. He was lucky to be appreciated by Dugu Bo. He had some attainments in medical skills and martial arts theory, but nothing else could be seen.

After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he turned around and left with Ning Rongrong. The others felt the same way. They thought that Jiang Li was lucky to be accepted as Dugu Bo's apprentice, but he was not of great use. They could communicate with him, but they didn't want to make close friends.

Jiang Li was also happy with this. Anyway, he didn't want to expose himself too early. The later the better. It would be best to wait until he was almost fully developed before exposing himself. By then, even if they reacted, it would be too late.
