Chapter 47 Humble Dugu Bo, speaking softly online!
Dugu Yan spoke with great seriousness and earnestness.
You listened silently, without offering any rebuttal.
Because what she said was correct, and her feeling wasn't wrong either. Your previous remarks were indeed full of gambling and calculation.
After Dugu Yan finished speaking about you, she didn't stop.
Turning to Dugu Bo, she continued, "Grandpa, I know how precious external soul bones are, and I understand that you had other thoughts after seeing them."
"But I'd like to ask you, when you're thinking and doing things, to also consider my feelings."
"My relationship with Su Mu, although he provoked me first and I fell for him afterward, ask yourself honestly, how much of the reason our relationship progressed so quickly was due to your behind-the-scenes encouragement and tacit approval?"
"Let's set aside whether Su Mu saved our lives."
"Just the fact that you tacitly approved of him getting close to me, and tacitly approved of me being with him."
"When you set your sights on that external soul bone, did you ever consider how I would react if you actually took action?"
When Dugu Yan is with you, she feels wronged. But when she's with Dugu Bo, she feels a mix of grief, indignation, and sorrow.
You suddenly feel sorry for him.
[While your approach and methods were sound, even using Dugu Yan as a bargaining chip to deal with a potential crisis from Dugu Bo was not problematic.]
However, Dugu Yan, as one of the parties involved, is caught in the middle of this power struggle and game, and is the one who suffers the most and is hurt the most.
You feel a little sorry for yourself, but you don't regret it.
Because now, you have no right to regret it.
If there is any fault, it is not yours.
The mistake lies in the unexpected appearance of the external soul bone and your own weakness.
You have no idea what Dugu Bowen is feeling right now.
But the unprecedented embarrassment, anxiety, and heartache that ripped from his face...
You can imagine he's feeling really bad right now.
The facts are exactly as you guessed.
[After a brief silence and agitation.]
Dugu Bo took a deep breath, then slapped himself across the face.
"Yanyan, don't be angry!"
"No matter what, it's all Grandpa's fault."
"It's Grandpa's fault for not controlling himself and having impure thoughts."
"I understand you're upset. But let's just let it go. Don't hurt yourself with anger."
"Also, don't hold a grudge against Mu."
"While there was a hint of scheming in what Mu said earlier."
"But the main problem lies with Grandpa."
"When Grandpa saw that externally attached soul bone, he was indeed deeply moved and had a fleeting, inappropriate thought."
"And you know about Mu's situation."
"Not long ago, I used the 'Looking Through Autumn Dew' technique to raise my mental power to the level of a Title Douluo."
]
"They are particularly sensitive to danger and the flow of energy."
"His reaction most likely stemmed from sensing his grandfather's change and speaking up in a desperate attempt to protect himself."
"So, if we really have to blame someone for this, the biggest problem lies with Grandpa."
[Dugu Bo said with a look of shame and embarrassment.]
At this moment, he truly felt guilt and regret for his previous greed.
Because at that time, he hadn't considered at all how Dugu Yan would react if he had harbored such greed.
Therefore, after hearing Dugu Yan's words, he truly regretted it.
But then he spoke again.
"But there's one thing Grandpa needs to explain."
"When Grandpa saw that externally attached soul bone, he was momentarily caught off guard and his mind was captivated."
"It's true that you subconsciously felt the urge to possess it."
"But Grandpa dared to swear an oath to the Martial Soul, and I really never thought of turning that instinctively born greed into reality."
"If this happens, may my martial spirit be shattered, and may I die a horrible death."
Secondly, throughout his life, Grandpa's conduct and dealings with others were entirely based on his conscience.
"Grandpa doesn't care about these so-called rules at all."
"Throughout my life, I have never distinguished between right and wrong, only between gratitude and resentment."
"Those who have been kind to me include Prince Xuexing of the Tiandou Empire."
"Just some worthless nobleman, but my grandfather is willing to repay his kindness by serving as a guest advisor to the Heavenly Dou royal family to this day."
"Although Mu has known us for quite some time, the solution to our martial spirit problem came from Grandpa's herb garden."
"Even so, his kindness to you and me is like a second chance at life."
"Without him, even if Grandpa had stayed and tended that medicinal garden for another hundred years, he would never have known how to solve the problem."
Finally, while external soul bones are precious, they can even rival 100,000-year-old soul bones.
"But if we're really talking about value, those rare medicinal herbs are in no way inferior to this."
"Putting everything else aside, the fact that it can evolve a martial soul is enough to drive all soul masters and all forces in the world mad."
"Under such circumstances, this kid ate and took almost 80% of the rare medicinal herbs, and Grandpa didn't utter a single word of objection!"
"So, Grandpa gave me all those rare medicinal herbs."
Even disregarding personal feelings, from an investment perspective alone, there's no way Grandpa would target him at this time.
Dugu Bo explained to Dugu Yan with a pained expression.
[I want my precious little one to believe that I'm telling the truth.]
However, Dugu Yan did not want to dwell on this matter any longer.
"Let's consider today's incident an accident. I don't want to delve into your specific thoughts, nor am I willing to."
"I just hope that from today onwards, whatever you do, you'll consider my feelings a little before you do it."
"To me, you are the closest people to me right now, and I don't want to see any problems arise between you."
Her words were clear and simple.
After listening, Dugu Bo patted his chest and assured him that there would be absolutely no problem.
You naturally agreed and said you had no problem with it.
[After this slightly unpleasant little incident.]
You have embarked on your journey home.
Nearly two months have passed since you left Shrek Academy under the pretext of visiting the old village chief.
