It's good that I didn't go looking for Qian Renxue.

As long as you don't get involved with that woman, this isn't the worst thing that can happen.

"Alright, get up." Bibi Dong said calmly, "Since he wants to hide outside, let him hide for a few days, so as not to bring him back and cause us trouble."

She couldn't think of a way to deal with the boy for a moment; being too harsh would be inappropriate, and being too lenient would be even more inappropriate.

Yue Guan felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly got up from the ground: "Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"

However, Bibi Dong's brows did not completely relax; she tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest, lost in thought.

"However, Tiandou City is, after all, the core of the Tiandou Empire, and it's a melting pot of all sorts of people. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, and even the reclusive Haotian School... all have spies there."

"That kid's talent is too dazzling. What if those forces discover it, or Qian Renxue finds out..."

A hint of worry flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Whether it's to win over a genius or to disgust her, Qian Renxue will definitely target Xuan Hao.

What if that kid really gets corrupted by sweet talk and is won over?

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured about this!"

Yue Guan quickly straightened his back and analyzed with a confident expression:

“Although Xuanhao may seem unserious at times, he is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. Look at what happened in the Star Dou Great Forest this time. Although the young master caused trouble, in the end, it was because that transformed soul beast saved his life.”

"Even a soul beast he had only met once, he was willing to risk his life to repay a debt of gratitude."

"You've been incredibly good to him these past two years, and he remembers it all! Given his personality, unless you really want to kill him, he would never betray you, much less switch sides for some petty gain!"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's gloomy expression lessened considerably, and she nodded slightly.

Indeed, although this kid is a troublemaker, he is impeccable when it comes to loyalty and righteousness.

This is the fundamental reason why, even when she was furious, she couldn't bring herself to actually kill him.

Within the Spirit Hall, interests are everywhere, but the concept of loyalty and righteousness...

Yue Guan continued, "Old Ghost is already keeping a close watch there, not leaving for a moment! Moreover, we've kept Xuan Hao's whereabouts very well under wraps; the outside world has no idea that the Spirit Hall even has such a figure. As long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he should be in no danger."

"Besides, although Xuanhao is usually mischievous, he's actually quite wise! That kid is clever and never suffers a loss. Right now, he's focused on making amends, so maybe..."

At this point, Yue Guan suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face instantly became extremely stiff.

Bibi Dong seemed to have thought of something as well. Her relaxed brows instantly furrowed into a knot, and she suddenly sprang up from her throne.

"To atone for your sins with meritorious service?!"

"and many more!"

Bibi Dong pointed at Yue Guan, her voice trembling, "You just said... this kid is determined to find a great achievement to appease me?"

"Yes...yes..." Yue Guan stammered.

"broken!!"

Bibi Dong slapped her forehead, and felt her vision go black.

"If he thinks... helping Qian Renxue complete her plan to seize the country is the greatest atonement and filial piety he can show me..."

"Wouldn't that mean he'd be offering himself up to get involved with Qian Renxue?!"

The hall fell into a deathly silence.

Yue Guan's mouth gaped open, and cold sweat poured down his face instantly.

This...this script is wrong!

Xuanhao only taught him how to put out fires, he didn't teach him this part!

But upon closer reflection... given that little darling's ruthless and eccentric nature...

He seems capable of doing something like that!

"Yue Guan! Go to Tian Dou City and keep an eye on him. If he tries to contact Qian Renxue, knock him out and bring him back immediately!"

Chapter 37 Is it alright if I don't fight back?

……

The following day at noon, in the lobby of the Tiandou Royal Hotel.

"it's him!"

With her arm wrapped in bandages, Xue Beng screamed as she pointed at Xuan Hao, who was walking down the stairs, as if she had seen her father's killer. "Uncle! Mr. Dugu! This little brat broke my arm! And he insulted the royal family!"

Prince Xuexing followed the finger and was stunned when he saw the silver-haired boy with a harmless face, who was holding a little girl's hand.

This...this is a "teenager"?

This is clearly a baby who hasn't been weaned yet!

“Avalanche…” Prince Xuexing’s lips twitched, and he asked in a low voice, “Are you sure it’s him? This child looks… no more than eight or nine years old, right?”

"Uncle! You can't judge a book by its cover!" Xue Beng exclaimed anxiously. "This kid is really strange! I knelt down just from his glare! And he's incredibly strong! You mustn't be fooled by his appearance!"

Standing to the side, Dugu Bo's face turned pale and then red, his dark green eyes filled with speechlessness.

He, a titled Douluo, was urgently summoned out of seclusion by Xue Xing, who said that she had encountered a troublesome opponent and needed him to take charge.

The results of it?

Let him bully a toddler who is not even ten years old?

If this gets out, what will become of Dugu Bo's reputation? Will he still be able to face others in the world of Title Douluo?

"Xue Xing." Dugu Bo glanced at Xue Xing coldly. "Are you making fun of me?"

"This..." Prince Xuexing looked embarrassed, sweat beading on his forehead. "Mr. Dugu, please calm down. This... I was also deceived by the child's appearance. But Xue Beng's hand was indeed broken by him, and this child is indeed somewhat strange..."

"Sir, since we're already here, why don't you do us the trouble of probing his background a little? At least we'll know whose son he is, so we'll have a better understanding of the situation."

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes.

Test him? How? Go up and slap him?

If this gets out, how will Dugu Bo ever be able to face the Soul Master world again?

But since he still owed Xue Xing a favor, Dugu Bo sighed and could only bite the bullet and step forward, his cold eyes locking onto Xuan Hao.

"Boy."

Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, adopting the air of a profound and unfathomable senior master. "I heard... you look down on my poison? You say my poison is trash?"

Xuan Hao, who was about to take Na'er out for a big meal, stopped in his tracks upon hearing this, looking at the strange old man with green hair, green eyebrows, and even green fingernails with a bewildered expression.

"Who are you? Do I know you? Have we met before?"

Dugu Bo's face darkened, and he coldly snorted, "I am Dugu Bo! Title: Poison!"

"Dugu Bo? Poison Douluo?" Xuan Hao tilted his head and thought for a moment, then turned to ask Na'er, "Na'er, have you heard of him?"

Na'er shook her head, looking blank. "Never heard of him. Brother, is he a poison seller?"

"puff--"

Among the guests watching the commotion, some couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Dugu Bo felt his blood pressure spike instantly, and turned to glare at Prince Xuexing.

Didn't you say this kid's claim that my poison was a joke?!

They don't even know me!

Prince Xuexing broke out in a cold sweat and guiltily avoided Dugu Bo's gaze.

He was just trying to provoke Dugu Bo into making a move... but who knew this kid would be so disrespectful, never even having heard of the Poison Douluo!

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

This kid doesn't play by the rules!

If this kid were a little more arrogant and made a few sarcastic remarks, he would have readily accepted the situation and used the excuse of "teaching a young upstart who doesn't know his place" to take action.

But the other person had an innocent look on their face, as if asking "Who are you? Where am I? What do I want?" How could he possibly make a move?

But since we're already here, we can't just slink away like this.

"Cough cough."

Dugu Bo coughed twice and pointed to Xue Beng beside him. "Since you don't recognize me, let's leave that aside for now. But yesterday you beat up a prince in the street and broke the Fourth Prince's hand. Do you admit to that?"

"I admit it." Xuan Hao nodded, admitting it without hesitation.

“Since you’ve admitted it, then apologize.” Dugu Bo put on an air of “I’m very reasonable.” “After all, he is a prince, and you did indeed lay a hand on him. Apologize, and we’ll let it go.”

Xuan Hao blinked, looked at the avalanche, and without saying a word, bowed slightly, his tone sincere:

"I'm so sorry, Fourth Prince. I was too rough with you yesterday. I didn't expect you to be so fragile. My apologies."

"..."

The entire room fell silent.

Dugu Bo was completely dumbfounded.

This... this is an apology?

No, the script is wrong!

Shouldn't you stand up for yourself and say "he doesn't deserve it," "he started it," and then defiantly resist with an arrogant expression?

With you being so cooperative, how am I supposed to act next?

The line I painstakingly came up with, "Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for bullying you," is now completely stuck in my throat!

"Um... is there anything else?" Xuan Hao straightened up, glanced at Dugu Bo who was still in a daze, and then at Prince Xue Xing, who looked constipated. "If there's nothing else, I'm going to take my sister out to play. It's lunchtime, and we're hungry."

Dugu Bo opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.

The person who assaulted you admitted it, apologized, and even acted so "sincerely".

If he continues to pester me, he'll truly become an unreasonable old rogue.

Just as Dugu Bo was preparing to find a way to back down and retreat with his men.
