Chapter 94: Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin
Half a month later.
Inside Dugu Bo's residence.
"Xin, hang in there, it will be over soon!"
Dugu Bo looked at his son, Dugu Xin, with a worried expression.
Not far from Dugu Bo, Dugu Xin slumped on the hospital bed.
His lips were pale, his hair and pupils were a ghastly green, and there were faint bluish spots on his skin.
The excruciating pain caused sweat to pour from Dugu Xin's forehead.
But even so, Dugu Xin remained silent, silently enduring the pain.
As time passed, Dugu Xin's clothes were soaked with sweat.
The worry on Dugu Bo's face deepened.
After a long time, Dugu Xin's condition finally calmed down.
However, his body would still twitch from time to time.
Seeing this, a trace of heartache flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
"Xin..."
Dugu Xin forced a smile at Dugu Bo, comforting him.
"I'm fine, Father.
It's just a little pain, I'm used to it, you don't need to worry."
Hearing this, a trace of sorrow appeared on Dugu Bo's face.
This time, Dugu Xin successfully pulled through, but what about next time?
Dugu Bo knew in his heart that this was the spirit poison inherent in his family's martial soul, a fate that every generation of their family could not escape.
"Sigh—"
Xue Xing, standing beside Dugu Bo, sighed, then said as if complaining,
"It's all the fault of the Spirit Hall. If they hadn't held that ceremony to re-rank the seven great sects of the world, Sect Master Ye Renxin wouldn't have set off for Spirit City.
If Sect Master Ye Renxin were still in Heaven Dou City, with him helping out, A Xin's pain would have been alleviated!"
Hearing Xue Xing's words, Dugu Bo's face darkened.
Even though he knew that Dugu Xin's situation was just an accident and had nothing to do with the Spirit Hall,
seeing his own son suffer so much pain still made him feel a sense of resistance towards the Spirit Hall.
At this moment, a smile flashed in Xue Xing's eyes as he secretly observed Dugu Bo.
Since his last attempt to invite the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to join the Heaven Dou Empire, only to be rejected by Gu Rong, he had left Spirit City.
After reporting the Spirit Hall's strength to his elder brother, Emperor Xue Ye, Xue Xing began plotting to recruit Title Douluos from across the continent.
Naturally, the Dugu family, residing in Heaven Dou City, came into his view.
During this time, Xue Xing frequently visited Dugu Bo's residence to chat.
Besides trying to cultivate a good relationship with Dugu Bo, he also wanted to prevent Dugu Bo from developing the idea of joining the Spirit Hall.
Xue Xing would often mention the negative aspects of the Spirit Hall to Dugu Bo.
Now, thanks to Dugu Xin's poisoning, Xue Xing's methods were finally beginning to show results.
Standing behind Dugu Bo, Xue Xing's lips subtly curled into a smile.
However, in an instant, he suppressed it.
Xue Xing adopted a compassionate demeanor again, moving closer to Dugu Xin. He
grasped Dugu Xin's hand, speaking earnestly
, "Xin, don't worry. Your father and I are very close.
Your problems are my problems.
My Heavenly Dou Empire will use all its resources to help you. Your strange illness will definitely get better!"
Hearing Xue Xing's words, Dugu Xin raised his head slightly.
Noticing the slight tension Xue Xing inadvertently revealed, Dugu Xin inwardly mocked himself.
He knew he was just a cripple tormented by poison, and Xue Xing's kindness was only because his father was Dugu Bo.
Thinking this, Dugu Xin forced a smile again, shaking his head at Xue Xing,
"You're too kind. You don't need to go to such trouble. I know my own body." "You don't need to waste the Empire's resources on someone like me..."
Upon hearing this, Xue Xing's expression froze. He hadn't expected Dugu Xin to be so unreasonable.
Just as Xue Xing was about to persuade him further, Dugu Bo spoke up.
"Xue Xing, let it go.
You've seen Xin's condition; what he needs most right now is rest.
You should leave first. I'll give you an answer later regarding becoming a guest elder of your Heavenly Dou Empire..."
Hearing this, Xue Xing stood up.
Hearing Dugu Bo say he would consider joining the Heavenly Dou Empire, Xue Xing was overjoyed.
He suppressed his laughter, stood up, and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Dugu Bo.
"Alright, then I'll leave first.
Brother Dugu, you stay here with Xin for now." "
With that, Xue Xing greeted Dugu Xin again.
"Xin, I have something to do, I'll be going now, I won't bother you anymore..."
Seeing Xue Xing leave, Dugu Xin shook his head, but he didn't say anything more.
Just as Dugu Bo was also preparing to leave the room so that Dugu Xin could rest properly,
a commotion came from outside ...
"Qin Ming, what are you doing here?
Has the ceremony in Wuhun City ended?"
Hearing the noise outside, Dugu Bo frowned.
"Xin, you rest well first, I'll go outside and take a look."
"Okay, Father. " After helping Dugu
Xin lie down to rest, Dugu Bo walked outside...
Dugu Bo hurriedly stepped outside.
Just as he reached the courtyard, he found Xue Xing blocking the entrance.
Four strangers stood outside his small courtyard.
At this moment, Qin Ming and the others also noticed Dugu Bo emerging from the house.
Dugu Bo also began to scrutinize Qin Ming and the others.
When he saw Yue Guan and Gui Mei, Dugu Bo was secretly alarmed.
He realized he couldn't discern their cultivation levels at all, only vaguely sensing a threat emanating from them.
Dugu Bo knew in his heart that Yue Guan and Gui Mei couldn't be ordinary people.
After eliminating all impossible possibilities, Dugu Bo made a judgment that astonished him.
'These two are both Title Douluo!'
Dugu Bo noticed that Yue Guan and Gui Mei were standing behind Qin Ming, seemingly indicating that Qin Ming was the leader of the group.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.
'Two Title Douluos as guards, what a grand gesture.
Judging from Xue Xing's tone, this group seems to be from Spirit City.
Could it be that the young man in the lead is from the Angel Clan?'
While pondering this, Dugu Bo stepped forward.
"Who are you, and what are you doing blocking my door?"
"You must be Senior Dugu Fu. We are from the Spirit Hall, and we have come specifically to pay you a visit.
My name is Qin Ming, and these gentlemen are Bishop Kelin, Elder Yue Guan, and Elder Gui Mei."
Qin Ming began introducing himself to Dugu Bo.
Seeing this, Xue Xing's face flushed with anger.
Looking at Qin Ming, Xue Xing immediately understood his intentions.
Knowing that Qin Ming's purpose was undoubtedly to recruit Dugu Bo, Xue Xing quickly called out,
"Brother Dugu, A Xin is resting; he needs quiet..."
