Chapter 220 The Concealment of the Porcupine Douluo

Han Feng stopped in his tracks. Gu Rong leisurely emerged from the darkness, looking at Han Feng and Ning Rongrong with amusement. He chuckled like a mischievous old man, "So that's why Rongrong got all dressed up so early! She's here to see you, kid!"

Ning Rongrong's already flushed face turned red again, and she said coquettishly, "Grandpa Bone!"

"Alright, alright! I won't say!" Gu Rong laughed and quickly said.

Han Feng blushed slightly and asked solemnly, "Senior, what exactly happened? Why has Senior Sword mobilized so much?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong's playful expression vanished, a strange glint flashing in his murky eyes. He didn't hide anything from Han Feng, saying in a somber tone, "Someone attacked Dugu Bo!"

"What!?"

After Gu Rong finished speaking, both Han Feng and Ning Rongrong were shocked and stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Do you know who did this?!" Han Feng quickly calmed down and asked composedly.

"To be honest..." Gu Rong sighed, and said with a heavy heart, "That person retreated very quickly. Even with Chen Xin's incredible sword speed and my ability to move swiftly, we still couldn't catch him. Moreover, that person seemed to possess a hidden treasure and knew Tian Dou City inside and out. Chen Xin and I simply couldn't catch up!"

"What about Poison Douluo? Did he see who the other party was?" Ning Rongrong pressed.

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Gu Rong couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face.

"Um..." Gu Rong was silent for a moment before saying, "When Chen Xin and I found Dugu Bo, he was already seriously injured and unconscious. We don't know if Dugu Bo saw the other party's identity..."

After Gu Rong finished speaking, a strange look appeared on Han Feng and Ning Rongrong's faces.

From the moment Dugu Bo unleashed his power to the moment Chen Xin's sword light soared into the sky, the time interval between the two events was no more than a single breath!

Doesn't this mean that Dugu Bo was instantly killed in a single encounter?!

"As expected of the weakest Douluo, you're something else!" Han Feng clicked his tongue lightly, making a sarcastic remark with no small amount of malice.

Noticing the unusual expression on Han Feng's face, Gu Rong quickly coughed and solemnly said to Han Feng, "Don't underestimate a Title Douluo! No Title Douluo is an easy opponent. Dugu Bo's individual combat strength may not even be comparable to some Soul Douluos, but his poison skills are extremely troublesome. On the battlefield, he alone can slaughter thousands of troops! Otherwise, why do you think the Heaven Dou Empire would spend so much money to support him!?"

Gu Rong was genuinely worried that Han Feng, that simpleton, might underestimate a Title Douluo and get beaten to death!

Gu Rong understands Han Feng. If Han Feng encounters someone he absolutely cannot beat, he's more obedient than anyone else; but if Han Feng finds even the slightest opening, he can easily talk the person out of control!

Gu Rong was quite impressed with Han Feng's verbal skills!

If Han Feng were to develop a mistaken understanding of the strength of a Title Douluo because of Dugu Bo, then the joke would be far too serious!

Hearing Gu Rong's earnest warning, Han Feng rolled his eyes. Han Feng had a clear understanding of himself; if he wanted to act arrogantly in front of a Title Douluo, he would have to wait until Gu Rong reached level 60 or 70!

"Don't worry, senior, I have that much common sense!" Han Feng said earnestly to prevent Gu Rong from continuing.

Gu Rong nodded: "That would be best!"

"By the way, something like this happened in Tiandou City. As the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I'm taking Rongrong with me first. You don't have any objections, do you?" Gu Rong said again. Although he was asking Han Feng, he completely ignored him, walked past Han Feng, placed his withered hand on Ning Rongrong's shoulder, casually opened a black hole, and was about to leave.

"Hehe..." Han Feng rolled his eyes, chuckled dryly twice, and didn't reply.

"Han Feng! When you leave Tian Dou City, you must come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!" Before leaving, Ning Rongrong stared intently at Han Feng, her delicate brows furrowed, and said sweetly.

Han Feng nodded: "It's a deal!"

Seeing Han Feng nod, Ning Rongrong finally felt relieved and followed Gu Rong into the black hole.

After Ning Rongrong left, Han Feng was worried because Qian Renxue left in such a hurry, so he chased after her in the direction she went.

Even after Han Feng activated his domain perception and searched most of the city, he couldn't find any trace of Qian Renxue. In the end, he had no choice but to return helplessly, and couldn't help but complain, "Is Sister Qian's martial soul a swan or a swift?!"

Meanwhile, Qian Renxue had already returned to the Crown Prince's palace.

Before even entering the palace, Qian Renxue saw Zhilin and the other two standing outside the palace with grim expressions. Zhilin, in particular, was pale and looked extremely weak!

Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue's heart sank almost instinctively, but she still feigned surprise and anger, stepped forward, and inquired about the reason.

When Zhilin and the other two saw Qian Renxue, it was as if they had seen their pillar of support. They told Qian Renxue about what had happened at the Crown Prince's Palace, almost like they were confiding in her. Of course, they also asked why Dugu Bo had just unleashed his power.

"idiot!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately cursed inwardly!

With two titled Douluo protecting him, his whereabouts were unknown after he left the Crown Prince's palace. Even if Dugu Bo slaughtered all the palace maids and stewards, he couldn't find a single clue!

In the end, it was just that Zhilin and the other two were afraid of dying!

But Qian Renxue also knew that, rationally speaking, this matter could not be blamed on Zhilin and the other two. After all, the Crown Prince's visit to his friend was at most just inappropriate, not a big deal. It would be strange if Zhilin and the others were willing to sacrifice their lives for this matter!

Little did Zhilin and his companions know that they had almost ruined Qian Renxue's entire plan!

"Don't worry, Elders! I will definitely seek justice for you!" Despite saying this, Qian Renxue still had to speak up and comfort them.

With just a few words from Qian Renxue, Zhilin and the other two were immediately moved to tears of gratitude, almost to the point of saying they would go through fire and water for her—of course, these were just polite words, and it would be ridiculous to take them seriously!

After seeing Zhilin and the other two off, Qian Renxue closed the door to the Crown Prince's palace and asked in a low voice, "What happened?!"

"Your Highness, forgive my bluntness, but you've been leaving the palace far too often. It's no wonder Dugu Bo is suspicious!" The Serpent Spear Douluo's voice rang out.

"That's not what I meant!" Qian Renxue frowned and shouted sharply, "Has Dugu Bo resolved this?"

After hearing the accounts of Zhilin and the other two, Qian Renxue had already connected the dots, so there was no need for Serpent Spear Douluo to remind her again!

Seeing Qian Renxue's anger, Serpent Spear Douluo chose to remain silent. The person responsible for holding back Dugu Bo was Porcupine Douluo, and he did not participate.

"Don't worry, Holy Maiden, my martial soul is just the right counter to Dugu Bo. He can't cause any trouble for me! Dugu Bo has already been severely injured by me. Even if he's lucky enough to survive, he'll be greatly weakened and won't pose a threat!" The sinister voice of the Porcupine Douluo came from the shadows.

Qian Renxue nodded upon hearing this, then asked, "Dugu Bo shouldn't have recognized you, right?"

The Porcupine Douluo, lurking in the shadows, felt a jolt of fear, then chuckled, "Of course! With a divine artifact bestowed by the Grand Elder, how could Dugu Bo, with his mortal eyes, possibly discern its true nature!?"

In the end, the Porcupine Douluo was still afraid. He dared not tell Qian Renxue that he had been recognized by Dugu Bo—if he made such a big mistake, even if the plan succeeded in the end, Qian Daoliu would not let him go!

The Prickly Porcupine Douluo now only hopes that Dugu Bo will perish and never wake up again!

"Your Highness...should we inform the Grand Elder?" Serpent Spear Douluo asked tentatively.

The Serpent Spear Douluo's voice made the Porcupine Douluo's heart tighten once again!

Fortunately, Qian Renxue shook her head: "No need! Since Dugu Bo didn't see through the identity of the Porcupine Douluo, there's no way to prove it. Dugu Bo won't suspect me, so there's no need to trouble Grandpa!"

Qian Renxue came to Tiandou disguised as the Crown Prince. Besides Bibi Dong's request, she wanted to prove herself. Why would she rely on Qian Daoliu's power if she had no other choice?

Qian Renxue's words made the Porcupine Douluo secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But Serpent Spear Douluo still hesitated: "But..."

"No need for further words. From today onwards, I will no longer leave the palace!" Qian Renxue's eyes flashed, and she shouted impatiently.

Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Serpent Spear Douluo finally said in a deep voice, "I will obey the Holy Maiden's words!"
