Ling Feng could recognize the herbs in Dugu Bo's hand; the youngest of them were at least a thousand years old.

Even the Spirit Hall doesn't have many of these herbs, yet he was able to casually pull out so many, which clearly means he has found the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Although it was a bit troublesome, it wasn't difficult for Ling Feng.

"So you're the daughter of the Spirit Hall. This is just a small gift, nothing more."

Qian Renxue accepted the herbs. "Thank you, Grandpa Lonely."

Afterwards, Dugu Bo focused his attention on Hu Liena and the other two.

"Your Majesty Dugu? What happened to these three children?"

Qianxun asked urgently.

"Sigh...so young to lose both parents, how pitiful..."

"My son and daughter-in-law passed away not long after giving birth to my granddaughter."

Seeing the three of them today is like seeing my granddaughters.

Dugu Bo's true feelings were revealed, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Ling Feng spotted an opportunity nearby.

"Grandpa Dugu, it's alright. Nana and the other two have been adopted by my mother as her goddaughters and godsons. She treats them better than she treats me."

"Yes, yes, Grandpa, my mom is so good to me."

Hu Liena chattered on beside him, making Dugu Bo feel uneasy.

He was quite old and didn't have much to talk about with his granddaughter. Because of his notorious reputation and withdrawn personality, few people dared to befriend his granddaughter.

Three-year-old Dugu Yan has no playmates and is quite withdrawn.

"Grandpa Dugu, why don't you bring your granddaughter to the Spirit Hall and play with us?"

"Yeah, yeah, Nana really wants a new friend too."

Looking at Ling Feng and Hu Liena, Qian Xunji and the Grand Elder exchanged a glance and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

"This…"

Dugu Bo hesitated.

Have a show?

For a loner like Dugu Bo, approaching him emotionally is indeed simpler than pursuing material gain.

Qian Xunji was overjoyed. Winning over a titled Douluo who was invincible in group battles would be of great benefit to the Spirit Hall.

Dugu Bo didn't take Ling Feng and Hu Liena's words seriously, after all, they were just innocent words from two children.

To be honest, Dugu Bo was tempted.

He can choose not to join the Spirit Hall, but what about his granddaughter?

Yan Yan is still young, how can she manage without playmates?

Moreover, these individuals are all from high-ranking positions within the Spirit Hall, and each has at least one Title Douluo as their backer.

He was also a Title Douluo, so they were in the same circle. Besides, the Spirit Hall had treated him with such courtesy, so how could he be an unreasonable person?

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo forced a stiff smile onto his face.

"Okay, I'll bring Yanyan to visit you guys in a while."

"She's three years old this year, she'll definitely enjoy playing with you guys."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji and the Grand Elder immediately changed the subject, pulling Dugu Bo aside to talk about interesting things on the mainland, and refraining from mentioning any rhetoric to win him over.

After all, too much of a good thing can be bad.

Dugu Bo has already agreed. After spending some time together, once Dugu Yan gets used to being in the Spirit Hall, Dugu Bo will naturally stay here.

After chatting for a while, it was time for the coronation ceremony, and Dugu Bo got up to begin the ceremony.

Ling Feng and the others stood on the viewing platform above, watching the grand ceremony, and couldn't help but feel a sense of exhilaration.

Having seen countless Title Douluos before, this was the first time they had witnessed so clearly the influence of a Title Douluo.

Below the stage, countless members of the Spirit Hall and visiting spirit masters looked up at the slender figure above them, as straight as a bamboo shoot.

Dugu Bo climbed one step at a time, and with each step he took, a new spirit ring appeared on his body. By the time he reached the top, nine spirit rings of optimal proportion had appeared beneath his feet, revealing the power of a Title Douluo.

"Dugu Bo, Level 91 Titled Douluo, Title: Poison!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo personally presided over the coronation ceremony and handed the robe exclusive to Title Douluo to Dugu Bo.

The robe is entirely purple-gold, symbolizing absolute nobility. On its back is a lifelike image of the Azure Serpent King embroidered with gold thread.

This robe is not only a symbol of status, but also has the effect of calming the mind and focusing energy.

"Dugu Bo, would you be willing to join the Spirit Hall and become an elder?"

"Golden Crocodile Douluo asked."

This time, Dugu Bo did not refuse as he did in the original work. Instead, he gave a seemingly nonsensical response.

"The children are adorable. I will bring Yanyan to play often. I apologize for troubling you, senior."

"Um."

Golden Crocodile Douluo wore a smile.

After the coronation ceremony, all the usual routines followed, and the grand ceremony finally came to an end late at night.

It was only at this point that Ling Feng had the opportunity to get in touch with Dugu Bo.

"Uncle Qian, may I have a private word with Grandpa Dugu?"

At the dinner table, Ling Feng asked.

Dugu Bo had a good impression of this clever and intelligent child, and since he was close to him, he simply turned his head to the side.

Ling Feng pretended to be an innocent child and whispered in his ear.

"Grandpa Dugu, my martial spirit can sense that something is wrong with your martial spirit. It seems to be poisoned."

"Wait, it seems you've been poisoned too. Remember to get detoxified as soon as possible."

Ling Feng's two sentences would neither embarrass Dugu Bo nor make him wary of him.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was struck dumb.

"How did this child know? This is my biggest secret, not even Yan Yan knows it."

"If that's what his martial spirit told him, then how terrifying must this child's martial spirit be?"

"Since he figured it out, does that mean there's a way to detoxify him?"

A series of three questions immediately focused Dugu Bo's attention entirely on Ling Feng.

"Your Holiness, if I may ask, what is the martial spirit of this child, Ling Feng?"

"Oh, Xiao Feng, it's the Panlong Staff passed down through the ancient family, but he inherited his father's Dark Panlong Staff, with innate soul power at level nine."

"By the way, he is deeply loved by several of the temple's patrons, and his future achievements are immeasurable."

Qian Xunji told Dugu Bo about the martial soul and innate soul power as previously agreed.

Ling Feng, Qian Renxue, and Jin Chen—the three of them had their soul power levels personally shielded by Qian Daoliu, so Dugu Bo couldn't detect their true strength.

"Oh? He truly is a genius among geniuses."

Dugu Boren was a shrewd and experienced man, so he naturally knew that Qian Xunji had not told him the truth.

It seems it's time to find a private opportunity to talk to this child.

If he were to find a way to alleviate or even detoxify the poison, it would be entirely beneficial to him.

Dugu Bo ate the dinner in a sullen mood.

He didn't find a chance to be alone with Ling Feng until the end of the event.

When Ling Feng got home, it was already late at night. Instead of going to sleep, he pretended to need to urinate and peed in the yard.

Because it was inside the courtyard of the Qian Gu family, Tuoba Yunhai did not enter.

In other words, if Dugu Bo dares to follow, he will have the opportunity to be alone with Ling Feng.

Sure enough, just as Ling Feng was about to pull down his pants with his little hands, he heard a voice.

"Young Master Ling Feng, I am Dugu Bo. I am here late at night. I hope you will not be offended."

"What do you mean by what you said at the banquet just now, that my martial spirit was poisoned?"

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow; he'd taken the bait!
