Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 50 Conversation and Enticement: Dugu Bo's Hidden Thoughts

On the other side, after Guangling released Dugu Bo, he put his arm around Han Li's shoulder and went to the other side, where he set up a simple soul power shield to block out the sound. However, he still did not retract his martial soul and kept his mental power locked on Dugu Bo.

"Xiao Li, are you really not going to kill him? You're going to save him? You know, this guy has a bad reputation. Bibi Dong has tried to recruit him many times before, but she failed. Even if you save him, can you be sure he won't turn against you later?" Guang Ling, who knew a lot about Dugu Bo, naturally distrusted him.

"It's uncertain, but killing him wouldn't benefit us much. At most, we'd get one or two soul bones, and he's covered in poison, so whether we can even use them is another question. Besides, Master, he's still a Title Douluo. Even if he's not your match, he's still one of the top people on the continent."

"Saving him is far more beneficial than killing him outright. I'll be traveling the continent eventually, and you can't always accompany me. You're aiming to become a Peerless Douluo, so this is a ready-made solution. From what just happened, we can see that he still has his granddaughter as a weakness. He won't easily betray us without absolute certainty," Han Li said, pointing back at the still-dazed Dugu Bo, offering a reasoned analysis.

"What you say makes sense. This guy is willing to die to get you to save his granddaughter, so he's not exactly a bad person," Guangling said thoughtfully, rubbing his chin with his left hand, which wasn't holding the bow.

"So, the next step is to see what price he's willing to pay."

Han Li shrugged, indicating that it was time to go back and negotiate, while Dugu Bo also recovered from his daze.

"Thank you for sparing my life."

Seeing the master and apprentice return to him, Dugu Bo bowed to Guang Ling with lingering fear, his back drenched in cold sweat. He had truly just narrowly escaped death.

"No need to thank me. If Xiao Li hadn't insisted on saving you, you would have died long ago," Guang Ling waved her hand dismissively.

Dugu Bo didn't care about Guang Ling's attitude. He turned his head slightly and looked at Han Li. This time, his eyes became even more eager and showed a hint of gratitude.

He knew very well that Guangling was right. He was able to survive this time entirely because of Han Li's actions. Most importantly, Han Li also possessed the means to cure him and Dugu Yan.

"First, I thank you for saving my life, young friend. I swear on my martial spirit that I will never reveal what happened here to anyone, not even my granddaughter."

Dugu Bo knew very well that Guangling's killing intent towards him originated from this place, so he blocked the entrance here first. Then, he bowed again: "Dugu Bo is willing to offer everything he has, hoping that you can save my granddaughter. As long as she can be cured, I will be at your beck and call without any objection."

"Even if it means you have to commit suicide?" Guangling suddenly interjected from the side.

"I'd rather kill myself than not be able to see Yan Yan get better."

Dugu Bo said resolutely that his son had died right before his eyes, causing him unbearable pain, but he hated himself even more. Now, seeing the hope that his granddaughter could be freed from this curse-like poison, he had enough courage to sacrifice himself.

"No need for that. I can't bear to see a Title Douluo like you die like this. I suppose it's a good plan that you didn't ask me to save you." Han Li looked at the old man in front of him and smiled knowingly. This Poison Douluo was no fool at all.

Even Dugu Bo, who had just been speaking righteously, couldn't help but blush under Han Li's gaze. He hadn't expected Han Li to directly expose his thoughts.

It's true that he was willing to commit suicide for Dugu Yan, but if he could, he would still want to live. So after swearing an oath with his martial spirit, he directly told Han Li that he could be at Han Li's beck and call.

He also had his own agenda. After all, he was a Title Douluo, and no force would ever want too many of him. Since they didn't kill him immediately, and he had joined their side, if they wanted to use him, they couldn't just leave him to die without treating him.
