Chapter 95 Forked Out
Upon hearing Xue Xing's words, Dugu Bo's previous desire to talk with Qin Ming and the others faded.
He waved his hand at Qin Ming, saying,
"You all should leave first. I don't want to see any guests for the next few days."
"Senior Dugu Bo, please wait a moment. We've heard about your son's 'strange illness,' and that's why we've come."
Qin Ming pointed to Ke Lin and introduced him.
"This Bishop Ke Lin is a master of martial spirit theory at the Spirit Hall.
Bishop Ke Lin has also studied poison-attribute martial spirits for a period of time."
Seeing Qin Ming push him forward, Ke Lin quickly straightened his expression.
He followed the script Qin Ming had instructed him to use.
"Please rest assured, I already know something about your son's 'strange illness.'
I also have a solution in mind."
He said this, but inwardly Ke Lin was groaning.
Qin Ming had indeed given him a pile of books on poison-attribute martial spirits for him to study.
However, time was simply too short. Although he had gained some understanding of poison-attribute martial souls, it was unlikely to solve the problem Dugu Bo was currently facing…
Hearing what Colleen said, Dugu Bo stopped.
He recalled the information he had gathered about the Spirit Hall over the past few days.
Whether it was the ordinary Title Douluos sent out as envoys by the Spirit Hall,
or the three Title Douluos at least level 97—Lion, Golden Crocodile, and Azure Phoenix—who had appeared in the Star Luo Empire, they had all deeply shocked him.
Dugu Bo knew that behind great strength lay an even greater foundation.
The Spirit Hall must have made significant achievements in martial soul theory to be able to cultivate and recruit so many Title Douluos.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo looked at Colleen with a hint of expectation.
"Bishop Colleen, do you have any solutions?"
Dugu Bo spoke quickly, stepping forward and grabbing Colleen's wrist.
"Bishop Colleen, if you can truly help my son solve his problem, I will repay you with everything I have!"
Seeing this, Colleen said somewhat helplessly.
"You don't need to do that. I will use everything I know to help your child solve the problem."
"Senior Dugu Bo, why don't we go in and see the patient first?"
Before Dugu Bo could ask again, Qin Ming called out to him.
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Dugu Bo noticed that Qin Ming and the others hadn't entered the courtyard yet; they were still outside communicating with him.
Realizing he might have been a bit impolite, Dugu Bo quickly gestured for them to enter.
"Come with me."
He turned around, preparing to lead Qin Ming and the others into the courtyard.
Noticing Dugu Bo's gesture, Xue Xing became anxious.
"Brother Dugu, the Spirit Hall has never seen A Xin. They only learned about A Xin's condition from others.
How could they possibly have a solution?
You know, so many doctors from our Heaven Dou Empire have examined A Xin, but none of them could find the cause of the illness.
What does the Spirit Hall know?"
Xue Xing said, putting on a worried expression again, repeating her previous tactic.
"Ah Xin is still weak and needs rest.
So many people going in will definitely affect him."
Hearing this, Dugu Bo stopped and turned to Xue Xing.
"You don't need to worry about that, Prince Xue Xing. Didn't you just say you had something to do?
You can leave now, I won't keep you."
Xue Xing chuckled twice. "Actually, it's not that busy. Going later won't make a difference."
With that, Xue Xing quieted down.
Seeing this, everyone went back into the room...
Soon, Qin Ming saw Dugu Xin lying on the hospital bed, his face ashen and lifeless.
After greeting him, Ke Lin stepped forward and placed his hand on Dugu Xin's shoulder to examine him carefully.
Everyone quieted down, afraid of disturbing the focused Ke Lin.
After a while, Ke Lin withdrew his hand and said to Dugu Bo,
"Dugu Xin's illness isn't caused by any external force, nor is it a physical defect.
Judging from Dugu Xin's current condition, he's probably been poisoned..."
Before Ke Lin could finish, Xue Xing sneered.
In the quiet room, Xue Xing's sneer sounded abrupt, and Qin Ming and the others all looked at Xue Xing.
Under their gaze, Xue Xing pointed at Ke Lin's nose and cursed.
"Poisoned? What a joke! Do you know that Brother Dugu is the strongest poison-attribute Soul Master in the entire world?
Who could poison his son?
Moreover, Dugu Xin's Martial Soul is the Azure Phosphorous Serpent, inherited from Brother Dugu.
It's already one of the strongest poison-attribute Martial Souls in the entire Douluo Continent. What poison in this world could harm him?"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo didn't speak; instead, he fell silent.
In such a short time, Ke Lin had actually seen through Dugu Xin's problem.
This was completely beyond his expectations.
Just as Dugu Bo was pondering, Xue Xing stepped forward again.
He looked at Qin Ming and said righteously,
"Qin Ming, you people from the Spirit Hall don't understand anything. You shouldn't come out and harm A Xin.
A Xin's health isn't good; he can't withstand your abuse!"
After being interrupted by Xue Xing's words, Dugu Bo reacted.
He looked at Xue Xing and said coldly,
"Prince Xue Xing, you should leave first.
I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you any longer!"
Noticing the change in Dugu Bo's attitude, Xue Xing was somewhat bewildered.
He glanced at Dugu Xin and Ke Lin again, still disbelieving, and inwardly cried out, "Impossible!"
He couldn't believe Dugu Xin was truly poisoned, nor could he believe Ke Lin had discovered the problem in such a short examination...
Seeing Xue Xing still standing there, Yue Guan gave Gui Mei a wink, and Gui Mei immediately understood.
The next instant, Gui Mei appeared behind Xue Xing in a flash.
After putting his arm around Xue Xing's shoulder, Gui Mei forcefully led him outside.
Sensing Gui Mei's actions, Xue Xing reacted.
Just as he was about to angrily rebuke Gui Mei, Gui Mei released a trace of titled-level soul power pressure at him.
"Xue Xing, can you be quiet?
I haven't been in a good mood lately, and this matter has caused my soul power to be unstable.
If you move around, I can't guarantee what might happen."
Feeling the faint aura emanating from Gui Mei, Xue Xing's body stiffened.
She was dragged out of the room by the ghost and thrown out of the courtyard...
Dugu Bo made no comment on Xue Xing's ordeal.
He simply looked at Ke Lin with expectant eyes and asked,
"Bishop Ke Lin, do you have any solutions for A Xin's problem?"
