Chapter 68 Understanding Reason
A sword light pierced the sky and appeared above Ning Rongrong. The sword shadow gradually subsided, and Chen Xin emerged from the sword. Standing in the void, he looked at Dugu Bo, who was looking around, and frowned. He also looked around with a questioning gaze.
He didn't sense any enemies either!
But Dugu Bo's actions made him wonder if there really was an enemy lurking undetected!
Glancing at Ning Rongrong's miserable state out of the corner of his eye, Chen Xin waved his hand to first inject a stream of soul power to stabilize her injuries, and then began to survey the surrounding environment with sharp eyes.
To dare injure Rongrong like this, they deserve to die a thousand deaths.
Seeing the two titled Douluo standing ready, Ye Xinlan and Afu's lips twitched simultaneously; they wanted to laugh but dared not let it out.
Seeing Dugu Yan clutching her throat in pain, Gu Xuan raised an eyebrow and secretly placed his hand on her shoulder.
The power of the horse talisman acted on Dugu Yan, and instantly, her damaged throat was restored to its original state, and she was instantly elevated.
"Thank you, young master."
Dugu Yan cast a grateful glance at Gu Xuan.
Kama!
Before the others could say anything more, the space around Gu Xuan suddenly surged, and a teleportation array appeared beneath his feet. The next second, Gu Rong appeared in the arena as if he had been teleported.
With the same surging momentum, the anger in Gu Rong's eyes was even greater than that of Dugu Bo and Chen Xin combined.
He had only been gone a short time when Gu Xuan encountered danger.
He and Gu Xuan had made a pact that if they encountered any intractable trouble, they would recall one talisman; if it was a matter of life and death, they would recall two talismans.
I will use talismans to save my life and wait for him to return.
He will return immediately if he senses it.
This time, he finally caught a fire-attribute dragon, and just as he was about to make his move, he discovered that the horse talisman had disappeared.
Almost instantly, he thought something had happened to Gu Xuan, and without saying a word, he activated his eighth soul skill, using Gu Xuan as a spatial coordinate to teleport over.
It's only because his soul power is inexhaustible thanks to the dog talisman that he could teleport back directly from the Star Dou Great Forest.
In an instant, the three titled Douluo gathered at the summit of Bone Peak, unleashing their full power. The disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, seeing this scene, thought that some powerful enemy had attacked, and they couldn't help but panic.
The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was thrown into chaos in an instant.
"What's going on?"
Gu Rong was somewhat bewildered. He was skilled in spatial manipulation, so it was virtually impossible for ordinary people to escape his perception and hide from him.
He scanned the area three times but still couldn't find any trace of the enemy.
Gu Rong looked at Dugu Bo, as if asking, "Where is he?"
Dugu Bo felt awkward, then turned to look at Dugu Yan with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
"Grandpa, no, there are no enemies."
Dugu Yan answered somewhat haltingly.
After all, the arrival of three Title Douluos at once would have been a major event in the past.
Judging from Gu Xuan's final withdrawal, he didn't really intend to kill Ning Rongrong. He thought she was just making a fuss over nothing, which led to this situation.
"No enemies?"
Dugu Bo and Chen Xin Yizang's expressions momentarily crumbled.
Dugu Bo dispersed his martial spirit form, and Chen Xin also fell from the sky, waving his hand to carefully pick up Ning Rongrong and float to the courtyard.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong was covered in blood and her aura was weak. He couldn't think of anyone else besides Ye Xinlan who could save her.
Chen Xin hadn't noticed before, but looking at the positions of Gu Xuan and Ning Rongrong, and the charred and empty gate of the courtyard, she guessed what was going on.
"What's wrong with you, you old hag? Didn't we agree that Rongrong wouldn't disturb Xuan'er's cultivation?"
Gu Rong also realized what was going on. Judging from the traces at the scene and Ning Rongrong's sudden appearance on Bone Peak, they deduced the truth almost instantly.
This was definitely because Ning Rongrong came to Gu Xuan's door and said something that angered him, which led to Gu Xuan teaching her a lesson.
Gu Rong completely ignored Ning Rongrong's current miserable state. In his opinion, Ning Rongrong deserved her current fate.
He no longer cares about Ning Rongrong. He keeps provoking his grandson. Does he really have a good temper?
"this."
Chen Xin didn't know how to answer, nor did he know when Ning Rongrong had arrived at Bone Peak.
They couldn't help but turn their gaze to Dugu Bo, and what they saw was astonishing—Dugu Bo had actually broken through again!
It's only been a few days?
Can a Title Douluo break through this quickly?
"I apologize, Elder Gu. I was in seclusion during my breakthrough and have no idea how Miss Ning managed to slip past my senses and infiltrate the mountain."
Dugu Bo was somewhat embarrassed, after all, he was half responsible for the fact that a young girl could sneak into the mountains right under his nose.
Now it was Gu Rong's turn to be embarrassed. He naturally understood the effect of the soul tool that Gu Rong had given him.
He found them all while exploring ruins; not only were their abilities rare, but their effects were also exceptionally powerful.
However, it was so badly damaged that it could only conceal the aura of a Great Soul Master.
"Oh well, let's just forget about it. It's Rongrong's fault too. Xiaoxuan is a good kid, I believe in him."
Chen Xin sighed. In their eyes, Gu Xuan had always been an honest child. If Ning Rongrong hadn't taken the initiative to come and deliberately cause trouble, she would never have suffered this ordeal.
"Clan Chief Ye, I'm sorry to trouble you. If you can lend a hand, I, Chen Xin, will owe you a favor."
Chen Xin carried the unconscious Ning Rongrong to Ye Xinlan's side, the meaning of which was self-evident.
If it's a minor injury, he can simply go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and find a healing soul master to treat it.
Although Gu Xuan did not kill him, how could a soul master withstand the shockwave generated by the shattering of a level-five soul tool?
Although he was not dead yet, he was already halfway to the brink of death, suffering injuries similar to those Gu Xuan had sustained, with his internal organs also severely impacted.
He could suppress his injuries for a short time with his Title Douluo-level soul power, but this was only a temporary solution.
"this-"
Ye Xinlan glanced at Gu Xuan. She knew that Ning Rongrong had been beaten up by Gu Xuan, and now she followed Gu Xuan's lead. She couldn't do whatever she wanted.
"Xuan'er!"
Chen Xin stared straight at Gu Xuan, a look of sorrow appearing on his handsome face, and a pleading look in his eyes.
If Ning Rongrong survives this situation without Ye Xinlan's intervention, her talent and potential will be severely affected, and she may even become a cripple.
Chen Xin knew from the sudden recall of Gu Rong that Gu Xuan couldn't be kept. Gu Xuan was clearly determined to fight the sect to the death, and he certainly had the strength to do so.
Why escalate things to this point when everyone is a prodigy from their respective sects?
But he also knew that this matter could not be blamed on Gu Xuan.
They can only blame it on their overindulgence of Ning Rongrong, which led to her developing a spoiled and domineering personality.
Therefore, he did not intend to blame Gu Xuan. He would just consider it a lesson for Ning Rongrong, showing her that not all soul masters would side with her.
"Let's treat her."
Gu Xuan decided to give Chen Xin face and wouldn't blame him if they met again in the martial world.
Moreover, even if Ye Xinlan rescues her, her talent will inevitably be affected by such severe injuries, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't have any extra top-grade snow silkworms to help Ning Rongrong strengthen her foundation, right?
"yes!"
Ye Xinlan nodded gently, and even though there were outsiders present, she did not address Gu Xuan as Young Master.
The Nine-Heart Begonia's position is awkward. Until someone who can truly hold their own appears, it's best for them to remain neutral in the public eye.
With Ye Xinlan's treatment, Ning Rongrong's pale face quickly regained its rosy color, but her brows remained furrowed, clearly indicating that she hadn't had a good dream.
Seeing Ye Xinlan stop, Chen Xin glanced at Gu Xuan, then turned his gaze to Gu Rong, nodded, and transformed into a sword light, flying away.
"You little rascal, you're quite something, managing to hold back from killing me."
Gu Rong patted Gu Xuan on the shoulder. He had seen clearly the injuries on Ning Rongrong's body. She had almost died. If Gu Xuan had put in more effort, Ning Rongrong would definitely have died.
His grandson is indeed too kind.
At the same time, Gu Rong's dissatisfaction with Ning Rongrong intensified. Wouldn't it be better for her to just stay away from her own grandson?
They just had to court death.
"You think I didn't try to kill you?"
She possessed two Soul King-level defensive Soul Tools, both of which I destroyed. I truly intended to kill her then; otherwise, I wouldn't have called you back.
Gu Xuan made no attempt to conceal his actions, causing Gu Rong's eye to twitch.
He originally thought that Gu Xuan had grown up and learned to be more patient, but he didn't expect that it was because he had a soul tool that saved Ning Rongrong's life first, and then Gu Xuan realized that something was wrong and stopped.
It is indeed inappropriate. If Gu Xuan killed Ning Rongrong outside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, nothing would happen. However, if Gu Xuan killed Ning Rongrong inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, both his reputation and character would be damaged.
