Chapter 203 Dugu Bo "Grieves" His Beloved Son

Upon hearing Miguel's words, Daglas was at a loss for words. After a moment of stunned silence, Daglas said earnestly, "No matter how important Dugu Bo is, he's not as important as your health. Please don't do this kind of thing again!"

Miguel knew that Daglas was doing it for his own good, so he didn't argue. Besides, he hadn't mastered the power of the divine magic this time, so it wasn't his intention at all. Therefore, Miguel readily agreed, "Unless I encounter a life-or-death crisis, I won't do it again."

Upon hearing this, Daglas didn't say anything more. He then had Miguel assume a cultivation posture and began to restore the soul power he had overdrawn.

...

When Dugu Bo left the Spirit Hall, he looked furious. The people around him didn't understand his reaction, but most of them were afraid of him and didn't dare to go up to him. After all, everyone knew that provoking Dugu Bo at this time would definitely not end well.

Soon, Dugu Bo arrived at his residence. As he reached the gate, he saw his granddaughter waiting for him. Seeing Dugu Bo's sullen expression, Dugu Yan couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, how are my mom and dad?"

Upon seeing Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo's face broke into a smile again: "Yan Yan, be good. Your mom and dad are alright. Grandpa will bring them back!"

Although Dugu Bo spoke with a smile, a hint of resentment flickered in his eyes, which he quickly concealed. No matter how fast Dugu Bo hid it, he couldn't escape Dugu Yan's keen observation. While Dugu Yan didn't understand why her grandfather had that expression, she could guess that the Spirit Hall had definitely made things difficult for him.

But what could a mere Soul Master like her do when faced with such a behemoth as the Spirit Hall? Since her grandfather had already decided to keep this a secret, she also planned to know nothing. After all, sometimes knowing too much is no good for her!

"Yanyan, Grandpa will be very busy these days, so could you please stay at your friend Ye Lingling's house for a few days?" Dugu Bo asked tentatively.

Dugu Bo was very clear that no one in the entire Tiandou City was unafraid of his poison. Naturally, Dugu Yan, who inherited his martial soul, would also be ostracized to some extent. At present, the person with the best relationship with Dugu Yan was Ye Lingling of the Nine Heart Begonia!

"Grandpa, I've been a bit bored at home lately, so I'd like to go stay at Lingling's house for a few days. So don't worry about me for now!" Dugu Yan said with a smile, seemingly carefree.

"good."

Originally, Dugu Bo had planned to send his granddaughter to Ye Lingling's house to play, but now that Dugu Yan had made the request herself, how could Dugu Bo possibly refuse? So, after that, Dugu Bo sent Dugu Yan to Ye Lingling's house.

After seeing Dugu Yan off, Dugu Bo went to a tavern and started drinking there. In the end, Dugu Bo got so drunk that he passed out in the tavern, but only Dugu Bo himself knew whether he was really drunk or not!

Time passed, and the next day, news spread throughout Tiandou City that Dugu Bo was in a bad mood and was drowning his sorrows in alcohol. In an instant, Tiandou City was in an uproar.

Upon receiving this news, Emperor Xueye immediately dispatched someone to invite Ning Fengzhi and his son, Xue Qinghe. Soon, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi arrived at the palace one after the other. After Ning Fengzhi arrived, Emperor Xueye anxiously asked him, "Sect Leader Ning, you now know why I invited you here!"

“Your Majesty, I had already heard about this matter before coming to the palace, but I have not yet found out why Poison Douluo did this.”

"Father, Teacher, I've found out about this! I wonder if Father and Teacher remember Dugu Bo's son and daughter-in-law?"

"Qinghe, do you mean this matter is related to these two people?" Emperor Xueye asked thoughtfully.

Emperor Xueye clearly remembered that Dugu Bo's son and daughter-in-law were already on their deathbeds. Could it be that the Spirit Hall had some way to save them?

Emperor Xueye had already considered this to be the truth, but he overthought it, making this correct option seem like just a possibility.

“Your Majesty, I feel it must be related to these two people. As the saying goes, parents' hearts are always full of love and concern. According to the intelligence from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a few days ago, Dugu Bo’s son and daughter-in-law were already terminally ill and beyond medical help! It’s just that Dugu Bo has been keeping it under wraps and the news hasn’t spread.”

At this point, Emperor Xueye looked utterly bewildered, completely at a loss for what to do! It's important to understand that Dugu Bo was, in a sense, a revered figure of the Heaven Dou Empire. If Dugu Bo were to be won over by the Spirit Hall, the Heaven Dou Empire would suffer a devastating loss!

"Sect Leader Ning, Qinghe, do you have any way to win back Dugu Bo's heart?" Emperor Xueye asked hopefully.

Ning Fengzhi was also at a loss, so he pondered for a long time without responding. After a while, Xue Qinghe spoke up, "Father, I don't have any good ideas either. After all, he can't stop Poison Douluo from rescuing his own family. However, my royal uncle, Prince Xuexing, has a good relationship with Dugu Bo. Perhaps Prince Xuexing can find some good way to persuade him to stay."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye finally realized that, in fact, among all the members of the Heaven Dou Empire, Prince Xuexing and Dugu Bo had the best relationship. After all, Prince Xuexing had once saved Dugu Bo's life, and Dugu Bo was loyal and righteous, so it was natural that he had a good relationship with Prince Xuexing.

Having thought this through, Emperor Xueye immediately sent someone to find Prince Xuexing, who arrived quickly. Prince Xuexing was at a loss for words when faced with the difficult question posed by Emperor Xueye. He knew that although he had a good relationship with Dugu Bo, a son was still a son, and no matter how important he was, he couldn't compare to Dugu Bo's own son!

For a time, the palace fell silent once again. Ultimately, no matter how much they discussed it, they couldn't find a suitable solution and had to let it go.

Time flew by, and it was the morning of the third day. Dugu Bo once again walked openly into the Spirit Hall, though he looked much more haggard. About an hour or two after entering the Spirit Hall, Dugu Bo's angry and grief-stricken roar could be heard: "My son, how could you be so foolish? Joining the Spirit Hall is no big deal, why did you have to commit suicide!"

Dugu Bo's voice, as mournful as a cuckoo's cry, echoed throughout most of Heaven Dou City. Then, Dugu Bo unleashed his full power and roared, "Spirit Hall, I will make you pay with your lives!"

Just as Dugu Bo was about to make his move, two powerful pressures rose from inside the Spirit Temple, one strong and one weak. At that moment, Salas spoke up, "Dugu Bo, if you're going to go crazy, go outside! Your son's suicide isn't something we can decide! At most, we're just one person who failed to supervise him properly!"

Besides that, a very oppressive voice came: "Dugu Bo, if you continue to act so recklessly, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy! Also, before you do anything, you should think more about your granddaughter!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo looked as if he had aged ten years, and finally stumbled away from the Spirit Hall. Afterwards, he went to Ye Lingling's house to find Dugu Yan! He then brought Dugu Yan back. Immediately afterwards, Dugu Bo sent people to prepare the necessary items for the funeral.

Because Dugu Bo's voice was very loud, half of the people in Tiandou City heard it. Therefore, not long after, Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe entered the palace again to meet Emperor Xue Ye.
