Chapter 50: Heading to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

The next day, the figure of Dugu Bo flew out from within the imperial palace.

"I never expected there to be such an outstanding person with such extraordinary talent in this world, to the point that even Emperor Xue Ye would not hesitate to use me to win them over."

"Ma Hongjun."

"Then let this old man meet you."

Dugu Bo's figure stopped at the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, and everyone who saw him bowed respectfully and called out, "Your Excellency Poison Douluo."

"Since I am on the way, I might as well stop by to help that girl Yanyan clear her toxins."

"Sigh, for now, I can still suppress them, but if one day I am gone, who will help Yanyan suppress them? Within a month, Yanyan will die."

Dugu Bo's eyes were somewhat desolate; Dugu Yan's poison was a stinging pain in his heart that could never be erased.

If there were a chance, he would rather his granddaughter get rid of the Green Scale Snake martial soul; it was truly too agonizing. It was precisely because of this martial soul that he was left with only one granddaughter as his kin, while everyone else had died.

If he himself had not broken through to Title Douluo in time, he would have died too.

Facing such a disparity, he would rather not have this Green Scale Snake martial soul.

Entering the hall, the three chief committee members were already waiting there.

Upon seeing Dugu Bo, they immediately stood up: "Greetings, Your Excellency Poison Douluo!"

"No need for formalities. I have come this time for my granddaughter Yanyan. Have her come to see me; I want to take her away to handle some matters," Dugu Bo said indifferently.

"Yes, I will have someone go summon Miss Yan to come here right now."

Meng Shenji nodded respectfully.

Thus, someone was sent to call for her.

At the same time, the Imperial Fighting Team's daily training was about to begin, and Yu Tianheng and the others had already assembled. Because they had lost successively to the Phoenix Team and the Shrek Team, Qin Ming was going to put them through even more rigorous training.

"Why haven't Yanyan and Lingling come?" Qin Ming could not see the two girls and felt somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know, maybe they are tired and are resting?" Yu Tianheng said.

Qin Ming immediately arranged for a female teacher to go to the girls' dormitory to check on Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling; the two girls shared the same room.

"Being late, this doesn't seem like the style of Sister Yan and Lingling. Could something have happened?" Yufeng said.

"Shut your crow's mouth," Yu Tianheng said with a cold glare.

Yufeng shivered and gave a sheepish smile.

"Teacher Qin Ming, I did not see Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan in the dormitory, but I found these two letters. Please take a look."

The female teacher handed the two letters to Qin Ming.

At this moment, everyone had a bad premonition.

Yu Tianheng glared coldly at Yufeng, whose expression changed; he dared not meet his gaze, feeling guilty.

Could it really have been predicted by his crow's mouth? "Not there?"

Qin Ming opened the envelope and took a look.

The content inside made Qin Ming's expression change drastically.

【I have decided with Ye Lingling to withdraw from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy to go find a way to become stronger. Forgive us for leaving without saying goodbye; do not come looking for us.】

【I have with Dugu Yan】

Apart from the order of the names at the beginning, the rest of the content in the two letters was identical.

"They have withdrawn from the academy."

"They went to find a way to become stronger."

"We must find two more people to fill their vacant positions. The All-Continent Elite Spirit Master Tournament is about to begin; I never expected such an accident to happen at this point in time."

Qin Ming handed the envelopes to Yu Tianheng and the others to examine.

"What!?"

"They left!?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Teacher Qin Ming, quickly find the committee members and contact Your Excellency Poison Douluo. Perhaps there is still room for maneuver. They might have acted on impulse because of the two consecutive defeats!" Yu Tianheng said immediately.

That Dugu Yan would leave without saying goodbye shocked and puzzled him greatly.

They were lovers, after all, even if they hadn't done anything too intimate yet.

Moreover, the reason he liked Dugu Yan was also because he wanted to win over the Dugu Bo behind her into his own clan, so that his future bid for the position of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master would be more secure!

Now you tell me she ran away halfway? How could I let that happen!

He was not willing to let his layout of so many years fail just like that!

"Good!" Qin Ming also knew the severity of the matter, so he took the envelopes and ran quickly toward the committee members' hall.

He happened to bump into someone coming out of the hall.

"Teacher Qin Ming, you've come at the right time. Your Excellency Poison Douluo is inside. I am about to go find Dugu Yan to bring her over," the teacher said.

Qin Ming was stunned: "I came precisely for this matter. You can leave; I will handle the negotiations from here."

"Very well." That teacher left.

Qin Ming entered the hall.

Dugu Bo frowned and asked: "Where is my granddaughter Yanyan? Why didn't she come with you?"

"Greetings to Your Excellency Poison Douluo and the three committee members!"

Qin Ming first bowed, then said in surprise: "Your Excellency Poison Douluo, do you not know? Yanyan left the academy last night. We only discovered it today. These are the letters they left behind. Ye Lingling left with her as well."

"What?! They left!?"

The three committee members were startled.

"What is the situation? This old man truly does not know!"

Dugu Bo was also dumbfounded.

He immediately took the two envelopes to check them, and only then did he understand the reason.

"Why did you leave? Tell me the whole story of what you know!" Dugu Bo asked with a frown.

He also did not know where his granddaughter had run off to.

Why didn't she go home first to tell him? Doing it this way would make him very worried.

If something were to happen to her outside, it would be troublesome.

Qin Ming recounted the events that had occurred within Suotuo City.

"To think such a thing exists; is there actually someone in this world who can resolve the poison of the Green Scale Snake?" the three committee members were shocked.

What was most outrageous was that they were successively defeated by unknown teams, and the Phoenix Team among them seemed more like a ragtag team formed on the spot. As for the Shrek Team, wasn't that the academy of Qin Ming? Qin Ming had already told them that Shrek Academy would come to join them in a few days, and they were naturally happy about it.

These are all geniuses.

What they doted on most were geniuses.

They wished more would come! "Yanyan is being foolish," Dugu Bo thought to himself.

"I understand, old man. I will go and bring them back now."

Dugu Bo did not stay long and quickly left the academy.

He had to find his granddaughter as quickly as possible.

Inside the Rose Hotel, Ma Hongjun found Dugu Yan alone and said, "Yanyan, does your grandfather have a medicinal garden filled with very beautiful flowers?"

"Yes, Principal, how do you know? Did my grandfather tell you?" Dugu Yan asked in surprise.

Ma Hongjun wanted to use Dugu Yan to find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

There had been no news from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect until now, and he could not wait for them for everything.

It was still most secure and reliable to do it himself.

Furthermore, he could better justify what he had said before.

"No, that medicinal garden is a good thing; can you take me there?" Ma Hongjun shook his head.

"I can. When shall we set off?" Dugu Yan nodded.

"Let's go now."

Ma Hongjun pulled Dugu Yan along, unleashed the Rainbow Transformation Technique, and headed rapidly toward the Sunset Forest.

"She's not at home; could it be that Yanyan went to my medicinal garden?"

After returning home and asking the butler, Dugu Bo discovered that Dugu Yan had not returned, so he frowned and finally thought of one place.

That place was known only to him and Dugu Yan.

Thus, he flew toward the Sunset Forest.
