"I don't care what you do for Spirit Hall. I will pretend I didn't hear what you said today."

Dugu Bo stood up.

"There is only one thing, you are not allowed to hurt Yanyan, otherwise..."

"Why do you think I'm telling you all this?" Xuan Ming said.

"Do you appear to be honest?"

Dugu Bo turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I naturally couldn't resist what they asked me to do. I had to do what I should do, but if I didn't succeed, then it's not my fault." Xuan Ming said.

Dugu Bo was slightly startled, "It seems that you have no loyalty to the Spirit Hall."

"Loyalty? Do you want to listen to what you are saying?" Xuan Ming asked.

"You expect me to be loyal to a group of people who have kidnapped me and nearly killed me?"

"Are you crazy or am I?"

Dugu Bo's eyes twitched, "Then how can they let you go back to Tiandou City with confidence?"

"Do you want to hear the truth or nonsense?" Xuan Ming asked.

"Stop!" Dugu Bo's face darkened and he interrupted quickly.

"I don't have anything!"

"You are not allowed to say it either!"

"Don't worry, I didn't plan to tell you." Xuan Ming said.

"…"

Dugu Bo took a deep breath and said, "I thought my temper was weird enough, but after meeting you, I realized that there are always people better than you."

It can really make people angry to death!

"So, you are just pretending to surrender and waiting for an opportunity to rebel?" Dugu Bo said.

"In fact, it can't be considered a false surrender." Xuan Ming said.

"They also know that I was forced into this situation and they don't trust me. They might kill me at any time."

"..."Dugu Bo.

"With your temper, how did you survive in Wuhun City?"

There is no conquest, no trust, this kid doesn't even pretend!

Just like this, Spirit Hall dared to send this kid to Tiandou City?

"There's no other way. My talent is too good. They can't bear to kill me directly." Xuan Ming said.

"People are always more patient with geniuses, just like beautiful women are more tolerant of men."

"It is normal for a genius to be arrogant, and it is easier for people to accept a beauty to have a temper."

"Of course, ugly and mediocre people can't understand this."

Qian Renxue tolerated him because she couldn't bear to give up his talent, and Bibi Dong helped him because his talent was worth investing in.

He knew very well that if he didn't have this talent, he would have died long ago.

"Since you know that, then you..." Dugu Bo was a little confused.

This guy is not stupid! Why not at least pretend first?

"First of all, I couldn't suppress my anger at that time." Xuan Ming said.

"Secondly, I was just unwilling to obey, rebellious, and throwing a tantrum. It's not some irreparable grudge."

If he had no reaction after being tormented like that, he would either be a coward or a very scheming person.

He dared to fight with Bals in Tiandou City, Qian Renxue would not think that he was a spineless person, so it could only be the latter.

Therefore, his outburst was necessary, otherwise, Qian Renxue would be very wary of him and would even keep testing him.

Compared to a person who keeps things to himself, is submissive and unpredictable, a person like him who speaks his mind but has a bad temper is obviously easier to control. He is making things easier for Qian Renxue.

If Qian Renxue felt that she couldn't control him, and wasn't even sure what he was thinking, then his death would be near.

He is just a child. It is better for him not to be sensible when he shouldn't be. Being too smart is not a good thing.

"Then what do you mean by telling me all this?" Dugu Bo asked puzzled.

Before, he just thought that this kid was a little smart, but now... to be honest, he felt a little weak! "They want to control you through me, I have to make some progress." Xuan Ming said.

"I want you to act, at least to make them feel that I am still working hard, instead of doing nothing."

"More than that?" Dugu Bo raised his eyebrows.

"You want to use me as a talisman?"

"If you understand it that way, there's no problem." Xuan Ming said.

His talent is his bargaining chip, but this bargaining chip is not always useful.

Many times, actual threat is still needed.

Dugu Bo's threat power is unique in the entire Douluo Continent.

No one, whether it is a soul master or a country, would want to offend this walking poison gas bomb.

If Dugu Bo could show that he cared enough about him, his safety would be better guaranteed.

"Okay." Dugu Bo thought about it and agreed.

"You helped me before, and now I help you, so we're even."

"However, I still have one request. You are not allowed to plot against Yanyan!"

"Why would I plot against her?" Xuan Ming asked in confusion.

"I've already discussed it with you. If I plot against her and you find out, you'll turn against me. I'll be doomed, right?"

"That being said..." Dugu Bo's expression looked somewhat unnatural.

"But I really don't believe you."

"I don't expect you to believe me either." Xuan Ming said.

"Your position can bring me safety, and if you stand with me, the Spirit Hall will assume that you are already in their hands, and naturally they will not attack you again."

"It's just what each of us needs."

Qian Renxue wanted to recruit him under her command, so she could tolerate him, but Dugu Bo didn't have so many thoughts about him.

It's safer to be simple and direct when talking to this old poisonous guy.

They have no conflict of interest, and Dugu Bo has no control over his mind. As long as they are not enemies, it's fine.

…

Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

With Dugu Bo fulfilling his promise and expressing his importance to him in various explicit and implicit ways, life in Tiandou Royal Academy was going relatively smoothly, and Xue Qinghe did not interfere with him too much.

Qian Renxue would appear about once a month or so and say a few words to him, showing concern for his cultivation. She was not as aggressive as before, probably because she had changed her strategy and wanted to boil the frog in warm water.

As for the matter of the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Dugu Bo never mentioned that place on his own initiative, and Dugu Yan didn't mention it either.

After all, that place is Dugu Bo's lair. Without enough trust, he would never reveal his true identity.

If he brought it up for no apparent reason, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, so he could only let things take their course.

"The eldest prince is going to become the crown prince!"

On the day off, Xuan Ming sat by the lake fishing, and Ye Lingling followed suit and sat beside him with a fishing rod. Because they both didn't like talking, fishing, a quiet activity, was one of their few forms of entertainment.

However, the active Duguyan always breaks this tranquility.

Looking at the big fish in the lake that fled in all directions because of the screams, Ye Lingling couldn't help but give Dugu Yan a resentful look.

"Sister Yanyan, you scared the fish away again."

"Just run away. You can't catch big fish anyway." Dugu Yan said.

"It's a rare opportunity to catch a small fish, but you can't bear to let it go. It's a waste of effort."

"Okay, stop fishing. The eldest prince is going to be the crown prince, and the enthronement ceremony will be held in two days."

"Are you going to be the Crown Princess?" Ye Lingling asked doubtfully.

"You are one who is going to be the Crown Princess." Dugu Yan said unhappily.

"Then why are you so happy? If the emperor is not anxious, then the eunuchs are." Ye Lingling complained.

"It scared all my fish away."

Dugu Yan's expression froze, "Lingling, can you stop talking like Xuan Ming? It's not cute at all."

The longer she spent with Xuan Ming, the more poisonous Ye Lingling's words became! ...
