Chapter 121 The Secret of Poisoning, Dugu Bo's Guilt

Hearing her grandfather admit it himself, Dugu Yan asked in disbelief, "Grandpa, why were we poisoned?"

Dugu Bo sighed and said, "It's probably because my martial soul evolved from the Jade Phosphorous Serpent to the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Queen, which greatly increased the toxicity of my martial soul. However, my own abilities are limited, and I have no way to completely control it, which has resulted in my body being covered in poison."

What makes me feel guilty is that this toxin can be passed on to the next generation, which led to your father's early death and your mother's death in childbirth. It was all because of this toxin!

As he spoke, Dugu Bo's eyes reddened, and a few tears streamed down his face.

"Yanyan, Grandpa is so sorry."

He had kept this secret in his heart for a long time, but now that he was telling it to his granddaughter, he could no longer suppress his grief.

Dugu Yan's eyes also reddened, but compared to the deaths of her parents, she was now more concerned about her grandfather's safety.

After all, her grandfather couldn't be blamed for her parents' deaths; he was also in great pain.

"Grandpa, what about now?"

Dugu Bo wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes. He knew what Dugu Yan wanted to ask, so he forced a smile and said, "Yan Yan, don't worry. Your grandpa is a Title Douluo, after all. Suppressing the toxins in my body is no problem."

He didn't want his granddaughter to worry anymore, so he changed the subject: "Yanyan, who exactly told you about your poisoning?"

Dugu Bo's expression also turned serious. To see that his granddaughter was deeply poisoned, she was definitely not an ordinary person. The poison that Dugu Yan had been afflicted with could only be dealt with by a master poison expert.

Dugu Yan thought of Xiao Tian. She felt that since Xiao Tian had pointed it out, perhaps there was a way to help with the treatment?

So, Dugu Yan gave a detailed account of her trip to Soto City and Xiao Tian's arrival to enroll in school today.

"Xiao Tian? Is this person really as powerful as you say? He's even gained the attention of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

Dugu Bo seemed to be asking a question, but he was actually talking to himself.

He had assumed his granddaughter had received guidance from a master of poison, but it turned out she was a twelve-year-old swordsman!

This piqued his interest.

"Grandpa, perhaps Xiao Tian has a way to cure the poison in our bodies? After all, he saw the problem with me at a glance."

Dugu Bo patted Dugu Yan's head affectionately and said, "Yan Yan, leave this matter to me."

Then, Dugu Bo changed the subject: "Oh, by the way, you should have less contact with Yu Tianheng in the future. Yan Yan, you're too young to tell, but he probably has an ulterior motive for approaching you."

Dugu Yan frowned and asked, "Grandpa, what do you mean by that?"

Dugu Yan sighed and said, "Originally, Grandpa thought he wouldn't live much longer. Seeing Yu Tianheng getting close to you, and that you had some feelings for him, I didn't stop him much. Yu Tianheng is considered the number one young person in the Tiandou Royal Academy. If he can take care of you after I die, then Grandpa can die in peace."

"Grandpa, you mustn't talk about yourself like that! There will definitely be a way!"

Dugu Yan didn't want her grandfather to say anything unlucky, so she quickly stopped him. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Grandpa, I admit that what we did during the trip to Tianheng Soto City was indeed wrong, but are you really going to stop me just because of one instance?"

Dugu Bo smiled and said, "Yanyan, you are still too young and lack life experience. Let me tell you something about it today."

"This trip to Soto City alone shows that although Yu Tianheng is as arrogant as you, he cannot accept his own failures. He's like a flower in a greenhouse; once he encounters setbacks, he develops an inferiority complex. Otherwise, why would he obstruct Xiao Tian from entering the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Is it simply because of his uncle, Yu Xiaogang?"

"They haven't seen each other for so many years, how good can their relationship be? But think about it, Yu Xiaogang is Yu Yuanzhen's biological son. If it weren't for his limited talent, he would be the sole heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family. Although he was nominally expelled from the sect, that old man Yu Yuanzhen still hasn't given up on him."

Yu Tianheng definitely needs to cultivate a good relationship with Yu Xiaogang, which means siding with Yu Xiaogang. After all, Yu Tianheng needs considerable support if he wants to inherit the position of sect leader!

Dugu Yan thought about it carefully and realized that she herself had said the same thing, and it made a lot of sense.

"And Yan Yan, have you ever thought about why Yu Tianheng chose to study at Tian Dou Royal Academy instead of Thunder Academy? Thunder Academy is the powerhouse of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan."

Dugu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be because of me? No, it's because of Grandpa!"

Dugu Yan wasn't exactly stupid. Her grandfather had already explained things to this extent. If she still couldn't grasp the key point, then she was truly beyond help.

So, Yu Tianheng has been suspected of using her all along?

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "You're half right. As soon as Yu Tianheng arrived at the academy, he made subtle contact with you. He probably wanted to get the support of a titled Douluo like me. After all, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has two heirs, one of whom is Yu Tianxin from Thunder Academy. Let's see who can get more support besides the sect leader."

If Yu Tianheng can get my support in the subsequent competition, then his victory is basically secured.

"Grandpa, what about the other half?" Dugu Yan asked.

Dugu Bo said calmly, "The other half is that Yu Tianheng doesn't dare to confront Yu Tianxin directly. After all, Yu Tianxin is a bit older than him and has been cultivating for a longer time. Even if Yu Tianxin's talent might be slightly weaker than Yu Tianheng's,..."

Dugu Yan didn't know if her grandfather's guess was right or wrong, but after Dugu Bo said that, her positive impression of Yu Tianheng shattered completely.

Dugu Yan said somewhat angrily, "Grandpa, why didn't you tell me before? Why did you have to wait until now!"

Dugu Bo laughed loudly, "Didn't Grandpa think he was hopeless before? But thinking that you later joined the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, with their protection, it might not be bad. Besides, Yu Tianheng has always had a smooth journey at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If you had listened to me earlier, you probably would have argued with me."

Dugu Yan:

Well, Dugu Yan admitted that if it had been earlier, she might have argued with her grandfather, but after what happened earlier, her opinion of Yu Tianheng had dropped considerably.

Now that she hears that Yu Tianheng approached her for his sect leader position, she feels even worse!
