The carriages were traveling one after the other toward Sunset Forest.
Inside Prince Xue Beng's carriage, both uncle and nephew wore extremely gloomy expressions.
Especially Prince Xue Beng—his face was so dark it looked terrifying. He had actually been scared into peeing himself by his own royal brother.
Thankfully only five or six people were present at the time; otherwise, he would have lost face on a massive scale.
Prince Xue Xing was also furious. He jabbed his finger on Xue Beng's head.
"What exactly did you do? You actually captured his pet and gifted it to Poison Douluo! Are you stupid?
Even if we ran over there right now to get the pet back, we would probably still offend Poison Douluo. You—!"
Prince Xue Xing's tone was filled with disappointment, making Xue Beng feel extremely wronged.
"Imperial Uncle, I didn't know that pet belonged to him. If I had known, even if I had to kill the pet, I wouldn't have gifted it away.
My royal brother never had the hobby of raising pets before. He suddenly started raising one—how was I supposed to know?"
When Xue Beng recalled that murderous gaze from Xue Qinghe, he involuntarily shivered.
His royal brother… he was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
The brother who used to be so gentle seemed completely like a different person now.
When their carriages reached the outskirts of Sunset Forest, they discovered an ordinary carriage parked at the entrance.
They didn't pay much attention to it. After their own carriage stopped, they all stepped off.
Xue Beng sent out a Soul Saint subordinate to notify Poison Douluo at his residence inside Sunset Forest.
After all, it was the estate of a Titled Douluo—entering without notice could easily be seen as hostile intent.
If Dugu Bo released poison to deal with them, besides the two Titled Douluo present, everyone else would be doomed.
Outside Dugu Bo's residence, Ling Yun was currently escorting Dugu Yan back.
When Dugu Bo saw "Yu Tianheng" holding his granddaughter's hand and walking toward the estate, he immediately felt like a family-grown cabbage was being eaten by someone else's pig.
His face instantly darkened.
Ridiculous—he had cherished his granddaughter for twelve whole years, afraid she would fall if he held her, afraid she would melt if he put her in his mouth.
Now that she had grown up, there was a danger she'd be taken by someone else's pig. His old face turned cold.
Before the two could approach, Dugu Bo strode forward.
He separated their hands, pulled his granddaughter behind him, and coldly spoke to "Yu Tianheng."
"Boy from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, you really don't put this old man in your eyes, do you? Actually following my granddaughter to my residence—are you here to provoke me?"
Ling Yun looked at Dugu Bo's hostile expression and gently smiled.
"Poison Douluo senior, what are you saying? I'm just escorting Yan'er home. I don't have any other intentions.
Right, Yan'er, here's the dress for you. Since I've sent you home, I should go back now."
Ling Yun didn't bother arguing. Qian Renxue was still waiting inside the residence—he couldn't let her wait too long.
Dugu Bo snatched the dress from Ling Yun's hand and directly gave a dismissal order.
"Boy, you can leave now. See yourself out."
Dugu Yan was speechless at her grandfather's behavior.
She couldn't figure out why her grandfather was so hostile toward Yu Tianheng.
She waved gently toward the departing Ling Yun. "Tianheng, see you tomorrow. Remember, we will wear the blue matching outfit tomorrow."
Ling Yun turned back, smiling warmly.
"Understood, Yan'er. I definitely won't disappoint you."
At this moment, Dugu Bo's brows furrowed. He dropped the dress and ran off toward the distance.
Ling Yun and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance and chased after him.
When they arrived, Ling Yun saw a Soul Saint respectfully saluting Dugu Bo and reporting something.
Dugu Bo's expression changed. He immediately looked toward his granddaughter.
"Yan'er, where is the Snow Heavenly Mink your grandfather gave you? Why isn't it with you?"
Dugu Yan looked at Ling Yun, then explained the disappearance of the Snow Heavenly Mink.
Dugu Bo's face shifted repeatedly before he let out a long sigh.
"Yan'er, boy from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, you both go inside the residence. No matter what you hear, do not come out."
After speaking, Dugu Bo followed the Soul Saint toward the entrance of Sunset Forest.
Ling Yun frowned slightly. From Dugu Bo's expression, something big had happened.
And this "big matter" clearly involved him. Ling Yun guessed that Qian Renxue must have come to demand the Snow Heavenly Mink.
Ling Yun thought for a moment, then gently patted the worried Dugu Yan's head.
"Yan'er, you're home. I should go back now. Don't worry about your grandfather.
No matter what, your grandfather is a Titled Douluo. He'll be fine. See you tomorrow."
"But, Tianheng, Grandfather asked you to hide inside with me. There must be a reason!"
Dugu Yan hurriedly grabbed his hand, unwilling to let him leave, her eyes full of worry.
Ling Yun smiled calmly.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. Don't forget, my grandfather is also a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse.
Within Heaven Dou Empire, no force would want to offend two Titled Douluo at once."
Of course, Ling Yun only said this to comfort her.
After all, within Heaven Dou Empire, both the Clear Sky Sect and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had at least two Titled Douluo.
In the future, Clear Sky Sect would have a number second only to Spirit Hall.
Within Heaven Dou Empire, at least two or three forces could afford to offend two Titled Douluo.
If the Star Dou Great Forest was counted, even more.
Dugu Yan thought briefly, then nodded and let go after reminding him to be careful.
Ling Yun nodded and quickly headed toward the forest outskirts.
At the entrance of Sunset Forest, Xue Qinghe stared dangerously at Dugu Bo and coldly questioned him.
"Poison Douluo, you should know why this Crown Prince is here. I only want to ask—where is my pet?
I hope you answer honestly. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Dugu Bo was displeased at Xue Qinghe's arrogance.
But he could clearly sense two powerhouses stronger than himself secretly locking onto him.
If he dared to act rashly, those two would strike like thunder.
He had difficulty dealing with one—let alone two.
Thus, he suppressed his anger and explained that the Snow Heavenly Mink had gone missing.
Of course Xue Qinghe didn't believe him, assuming he was refusing to return it, and instantly erupted.
"Poison Douluo, do you not shed tears until you see the coffin???"
