Chapter 24: Dugu Yan: Grandpa, You Don't Understand Him at All

This wasn't Dugu Bo overthinking things.

You see, before, whenever he finished his secluded cultivation in the Medicinal Herb Garden and returned.

Every time he saw her, his granddaughter was always very excited and happy.

But this time, Dugu Bo discovered.

His granddaughter seemed to be acting much calmer than before.

But feelings like this only transfer; they never disappear.

Plus, when he had just asked his granddaughter why she had returned so late.

His granddaughter's elegant and beautiful face was slightly red, and she looked fidgety and shy.

He had been there himself!

Dugu Bo took one look and went "oh ho" in his heart, secretly feeling that something was wrong.

He knew a big problem had arisen!

During the time he was in secluded cultivation.

His own little white cabbage was probably being rooted around by some outside wild boar!

Outrageous!

Who exactly is it! Who exactly is it!

Dugu Bo was gnashing his teeth with anger.

As a grandfather, he absolutely would not allow anyone, without his knowledge or permission, to approach his granddaughter.

Even to secretly arrange a marriage for life.

Not even the Heavenly King and Old Father could do it!

Though that was what he thought in his heart.

But on the surface, Dugu Bo remained calm and collected, just as before, asking with concern about his granddaughter's recent situation at the Royal Academy, while also asking about her physical condition.

When mentioning her physical condition, Dugu Yan seemed somewhat excited, as if she had something she wanted to say.

But in the end, she still hesitated to speak.

Regarding these things, Dugu Bo didn't pay them any mind.

Now, he just wanted tomorrow to arrive quickly.

He wanted to secretly investigate exactly which family's wild boar dared to root around his own little white cabbage!

If this wild boar wasn't bad.

He could still reluctantly turn a blind eye.

Finally, test him a bit.

To see if he was a good match for his granddaughter.

But if it was an unqualified wild boar, then he could only break up the mandarin ducks by force!

For his granddaughter's future.

This grandfather of his had to be ruthless!

In the blink of an eye, time came to the next day.

When Dugu Yan went to school.

Dugu Bo also took action, secretly following her.

Very soon, he discovered Ye Yu's existence.

'Good. Sure enough, there's a brat!'

Dugu Bo clenched his fists, gritting his teeth, furious in his heart.

But he did not act rashly.

Before making a move, he still needed to find out the situation of this wild boar.

If possible, he actually didn't want to hurt his granddaughter's feelings.

After all, she was his only relative in this world.

But after secretly investigating and learning of Ye Yu's situation.

Dugu Bo was instantly furious to the point of nearly exploding.

Because Ye Yu had absolutely no background, merely coming from ordinary commoner stock.

The reason he could enroll at Tian Dou Royal Academy.

Was simply because he presented a farming tool that could improve farming efficiency to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Being granted the title of Baron by Emperor Xue Ye, he was then able to enroll smoothly.

And Ye Yu's martial soul was even more famously the waste martial soul Blue Silver Grass, with innate soul power of only level one.

His talent was simply frighteningly poor!

Even if it was said that Ye Yu's martial soul had now mutated and evolved.

But what kind of mutation could Blue Silver Grass martial soul possibly evolve into?

Even if he reached the pinnacle in the future, being able to cultivate to Soul King would be not bad!

But in the eyes of ordinary commoners, a Soul King was very impressive.

But in Dugu Bo's view.

Looking across the Spirit Master World, a Soul King was nothing more than a slightly larger small fry!

If he passed away in the future, how could such a good-for-nothing possibly protect his granddaughter!

No way! He must break up the mandarin ducks by force!

Dugu Bo hardened his heart in his heart and made up his mind.

However, after thinking it over, Dugu Bo still planned to first talk properly with Dugu Yan.

He would tell Dugu Yan not to let love cloud her judgment.

What was this Ye Yu's name?

He was nothing but a pretty boy who could never bring you happiness!

Another night passed.

Dugu Mansion.

Inside a tea room.

Dugu Bo sat before a tea table, brewing tea at an unhurried pace, yet his heart was full of worry.

He did not know how he should tell his granddaughter later.

His granddaughter's temper had been greatly influenced by him.

She was soft-hearted but not hard-hearted, very rebellious.

In the past, he had greatly admired his granddaughter's character, feeling she was like him.

But now, Dugu Bo felt it was not so wonderful anymore.

"Miss!"

Outside the tea room, the respectful voices of the maids and servants soon came.

His granddaughter Dugu Yan was back!

At Dugu Bo's orders.

The maids and servants told Dugu Yan that Dugu Bo was looking for her.

Soon, Dugu Yan came over, her beautiful eyes like green emeralds full of confusion as she walked into the tea room and asked.

"Grandfather, what do you want with me?"

"Yan Yan, sit!"

Dugu Bo did not answer immediately, but with a complex gaze, shook his head, and had Dugu Yan sit down.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?"

Dugu Bo's unusual behavior made Dugu Yan feel something was off, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Ai!"

Dugu Bo sighed and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Yan Yan! Yan Yan! You really gave Grandfather a big surprise!"

"When did you find a boyfriend, and you didn't even tell Grandfather."

"Grandfather, you... you already know?"

Unexpectedly, Dugu Bo already knew, and Dugu Yan was first startled.

Then her beautiful and lovely little face instantly turned completely red, full of shyness and embarrassment, and she stammered.

And because she saw Dugu Bo's complexion was not very gloomy, as if he was not very angry.

Dugu Yan's courage grew quite a bit.

"Grandfather, actually I already planned to introduce Ye Yu to you, I just haven't decided how to introduce him yet."

"Ye Yu, he is very capable!"

In order to give Ye Yu a good impression in Grandfather Dugu Bo's heart.

Dugu Yan originally prepared to speak at length about Ye Yu's excellence and outstanding qualities.

But unfortunately, Dugu Bo did not intend to listen.

"Yan Yan!"

Dugu Bo very seriously and sternly interrupted Dugu Yan's words.

"Although Grandfather does not know how you met this boy named Ye Yu, or how you got together."

"Perhaps Grandfather was too focused on cultivation, neglected you, and gave this boy an opportunity."

"This is Grandfather's fault!"

"But Grandfather must state, Grandfather does not agree to you being with him!"

"Grandfather!!"

Dugu Yan suddenly stood up, her exquisite and beautiful face full of anxiety.

"Grandfather, you must be because you found out that Ye Yu's martial soul and talent are not good, so you don't agree to me being with him?"

"But martial soul and talent do not represent everything!"

"Although Ye Yu's martial soul and talent are not very good, that is only temporary!"

"Ye Yu has already found a way to evolve his martial soul!"

"As long as he is given time, he will definitely let his martial soul keep evolving."

"Ultimately leaping over the dragon gate, soaring to the sky!"

"And besides his temporary martial soul and cultivation talent not being good, Ye Yu is incomparably outstanding in every other aspect!"

"Grandfather! You believe me!"

"Don't believe me! I can take you to meet Ye Yu, you can test him!"

But regarding this, Dugu Bo only sneered, and instead became even angrier in his heart.

Found a way to let the martial soul evolve?

Simply joking!

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, their Biling Family, and Nine Heart Begonia Family.

Just the three great Spirit Master Families he knew of had always been searching for the Martial Soul Evolution Method.

But how many years had passed, and still they could not find it.

A commoner's son like him—could he find a way to evolve a martial soul?

Utterly absurd!

As for everything other than martial soul and cultivation talent being mediocre, he was unmatched in every other aspect.

Dugu Bo believed it even less.

Because a commoner's son, his education and growing environment from childhood had determined it.

It was impossible for him to have too high a vision and experience—how could he be unmatched in any aspect!

In his view,

this boy named Ye Yu must simply be too good at sweet-talking girls!

He had his granddaughter spinning in circles!

This made Dugu Bo furious beyond measure.

Hardening his heart, for his granddaughter, he must break up the lovebirds!

"Yan Yan! It's not that Grandfather doesn't believe you."

"It's just that the martial soul evolution method—including our Biling Family—who knows how many Soul Master Sects and families are searching for it."

"But how many years have passed, and no one has found any method."

"Can a mere commoner's son find it?"

"This is simply a joke!"

Dugu Bo gave a disdainful smile.

"As for what you said—that apart from martial soul and cultivation talent, he is excellent in other aspects—Grandfather believes it even less."

"Because a lowly commoner, limited by his vision and experience, simply cannot be that excellent!"

Regarding this, Dugu Bo's tone was firm and unyielding.

Anyway, it came down to one sentence: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Yan Yan! You must understand, in this world, many things can be faked!"

In the end, Dugu Bo still wore a look of well-meaning advice, and counseled Dugu Yan.

But Dugu Yan clenched her jade hand, her beautiful eyes all red, on the verge of tears.

Her heart was filled with sorrow and indignation.

She could understand Grandfather not believing Ye Yu.

But why would he not even give him a chance!

"Grandfather, you don't understand! You simply don't understand him at all!"

In sorrow and anger, Dugu Yan bit her lower lip, glaring with her emerald-like reddened beautiful eyes, and shouted loudly at Dugu Bo.
