Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 40: Rumors are getting more and more intense.

Just after Chen Ming and Dugu Yan returned to their own dormitories, messages about the two began to spread quietly on campus.

Teacher Niu, who was in charge of guarding the poison-type mimicry training field, found Qin Ming and, under the pretext of a discussion, told Qin Ming everything before he could react to what had happened. He also forced Qin Ming, who was resting at home, to be dragged into the matter. Then the two of them went to report to the three members of the Education Committee.

Niu Dali only saw Chen Ming carrying Dugu Yan out, so he only reported what he saw, and emphasized that Dugu Yan glared at him.

Although there was no exaggeration, the subjective opinion was so strong that the first thing the three teaching committee members of Tiandou Royal College thought of was that the two were in love, rather than any unexpected mistakes.

Therefore, the three members of the Education Committee began to arrange personnel to secretly investigate what Chen Ming had done. They also looked for any eyewitnesses along the way and what these people had seen.

Once the news leaks out, the extent of its spread will be beyond everyone's imagination.

As the first aristocratic academy of the Tiandou Empire, there is no shortage of elites in the Tiandou Royal Academy, but most of the academy's students are genuine insects and humanoid creatures.

What these humanoid creatures can do is always beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Some people were just passing by and didn't care who was holding who, but after being asked this question, they became interested. Some people had already seen Chen Ming holding Dugu Yan, and after being asked this question, they felt even more itchy.

Those who saw it said they saw it, and those who didn’t see it clearly said they saw it. In the end, those who didn’t see it also said they saw it. The things they saw gradually became more and more exaggerated.

It is the common nature of all intelligent creatures in the world to watch the fun and not mind the big trouble. These students of the aristocratic students are even more fearless.

The originally normal description became more and more mysterious and outrageous. At the beginning, Chen Ming was holding Dugu Yan, and Dugu Yan was shy. Later, it was simply spread that Chen Ming was holding Dugu Yan and committing adultery in front of the students.

Although those guys who were really brainless and deliberately took things in a pornographic direction were soon found out by the three education committee members, they were taken back directly to their parents and fell on the beams and hit with spinning tops with rattan sticks.

However, in the eyes of some people, this behavior is tantamount to covering one's ears and stealing the bell, making them believe these outrageous rumors even more.

"Have you heard? Dugu Yan and that new student..."

"Have you heard? Duguyan and a boy are beside the avenue..."

"Have you heard? The granddaughter of Poison Douluo and a wild man..."

There were only 500 students in Tiandou Royal Academy, and half of them were talking about this matter in one night. The reason why the remaining half did not talk about it was mainly because they lived in Tiandou City and did not hear the news from the academy.

But this soon changed, because several young nobles who were good at nothing but stirring up trouble had already traveled day and night to Tiandou City to share this matter with their "outdated" "good friends" in the city.

The gossiping heart cannot be stopped. The three education committee members themselves cannot come forward, and they can only let the subordinates suppress it, which is impossible to suppress the students' curiosity. Moreover, although the people under the education committee also obey the orders of the education committee, they cannot be emotionless after all. Although they are responsible for suppressing the spread of this matter, they actually listen to various rumors quietly. Privately, when there are no outsiders, these people who are entrusted with important tasks by the three education committees actually discuss happily.

There was a lack of entertainment in Douluo Continent, and the people near Tiandou City had basically enjoyed all the food, drink and entertainment. Besides the five-year-long All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, the only thing that could make them feel happy was all kinds of gossip news.

And what was unexpected was that early the next morning, people from Dugu Bo's mansion quietly came to Tiandou Royal Academy, and after notifying the three members of the teaching committee, they took Dugu Yan away directly.

Yes, although Dugu Bo is not at home now, there is still someone in charge of Dugu Bo’s house.

According to seniority, he is Dugu Bo's brother-in-law and Dugu Yan's uncle. Although he has no soul power and is not a soul master, because of his relationship with Dugu Bo, he has been the butler for Dugu Bo for decades, managing all the affairs of the mansion and keeping everything in order.

Logically speaking, such a person should not be easily provoked by the message and lose his composure, but unfortunately, the butler himself was the person who saw Chen Ming hugging Dugu Yan.

Yes, it was the old man who was very excited when he saw Chen Ming and Dugu Yan hugging each other on the road, and Chen Ming thought that he didn’t want to pursue them.

Did he not want to catch up? He really couldn't catch up!
Forget Soul Master, Soul Sect, or Soul King. He's not even a Soul Master! He just looks a little better, and he's been handling various things for Dugu Bo for many years, so he looks more profound.

When he saw Chen Ming and Dugu Yan, he wanted to chase them immediately, but he failed to catch up and exhausted himself. He finally crawled to Dugu Yan's dormitory, and Dugu Yan happened to be hiding in the quilt playing with his fingers. He searched for a long time but couldn't find her.

When I climbed down the mountain with great effort, I was filled with anger and grievance, but I didn't dare tell anyone.

It was already midnight when he finally got back to Dugu Bo's house. He had to find a way to contact Dugu Bo and deal with Dugu Yan's matter. He didn't sleep that last night and went to pick her up with a group of servants early in the morning.

I thought I was quick enough and things hadn't gotten to the point yet, but as soon as I got to the foot of the academy, I heard a group of students gathered together and whispering. I almost fainted from anger.

He persuaded the three education committee members to take Duguyan back. However, Duguyan acted like an ostrich and didn't want to see him, the elder. It took a lot of effort to persuade Duguyan to go back.

After returning home, he comforted Dugu Yan, and immediately wrote several letters to Dugu Bo, and sent someone to put the letters in the place agreed with Dugu Bo.

But the problem is that Dugu Bo had just read the letter a few days ago and thought it was no big deal, so he has been recuperating deeply these days, striving to complete his recuperation as soon as possible, return to Tiandou City, and stay by his granddaughter's side.

No matter how many letters were sent at this time, Dugu Bo himself had no chance to read them.

The matter became more and more serious, and the gossip spread among the nobles of Tiandou City. The news even reached the ears of Xue Ye, Xue Xing, and Qian Renxue who was disguised as Xue Qinghe.

Faced with this gossip, Qian Renxue, who originally did not care too much about Chen Ming and just wanted to cast a wide net, was also surprised. She immediately ordered her subordinates to raise the level of the visiting card and the gift to be sent to Chen Ming. She also became more playful about the upcoming meeting.
