Xu Xin's eyes turned cold as he stared intently in that direction.

Ten ninja soldiers had already protected the two of them.

"Don't panic, young friend!"

From within the jungle, a voice that sounded neither old nor young echoed...

The bushes rustled, and a middle-aged man in a green robe emerged.

Xu Xin frowned. This person was rather young, dressed in a green robe, and exuded a strong aura of soul power.

It's clear that he has already surpassed Ah Yin.

Upon seeing this person, Ah Yin panicked, and her body trembled slightly.

Xu Xin noticed something was wrong and immediately reached out to grab Ah Yin's hand: "Sister Ah Yin, it's okay."

Looking down at Xu Xin, Ah Yin's panicked heart immediately calmed down a bit.

The middle-aged man who appeared was extremely shocked. Twenty Soul Emperor-level people dressed in black, whose disciples were they?

The middle-aged man didn't know anything about Xu Xin and his companion, and dared not make any move.

The two sides remained locked in a stalemate.

With ninja soldiers standing by, the middle-aged man in green robes spoke first: "Young friends, my name is Dugu Bo."

"I was just passing by and had no intention of disturbing you two."

Dugu Bo!

Is this middle-aged man Dugu Bo?

Xu Xin looked him up and down. He was dressed in a green robe, but had no green hair or wrinkles.

He was completely different from the eccentric old man I remembered.

At this point in time, Dugu Bo's son should still be alive.

This guy probably hasn't become a Title Douluo yet.

Ah Yin looked at Xu Xin, unsure of what to say.

"Senior, you're overthinking it. My brother and I are just hunting for spirit rings."

"There's no such thing as disturbing or not disturbing."

Xu Xin spoke slowly, his attitude not being too bad.

Ah Yin nodded to the side.

Dugu Bo glanced at the ninja soldiers around him and decided against it; he couldn't afford to offend them.

He saw 20 Soul Emperors. What kind of good person would bring so many Soul Emperors when hunting for Soul Rings? And judging from the looks of it, it should be that kid who is getting his Soul Ring.

Hunting a hundred-year-old soul beast, and you've given me so many Soul Emperors...

We can't afford to mess with them, we really can't afford to mess with them.

Moreover, he couldn't quite see through the so-called sister who wore a mask...

"Young friend, you're too kind. It's this old man who's bothered you two."

"Young friend, are you able to hunt for a spirit ring? Do you need my help?"

Dugu Blog angrily said something.

Xu Xin shook his head: "We won't trouble you any further, senior. We're finished and are getting ready to head back."

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer. Until we meet again."

After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he turned and left.

Watching Dugu Bo's retreating figure, Xu Xin sent several ninja soldiers to follow him. The skill of these ninja soldiers in hiding in the shadows was self-evident.

Only after seeing Dugu Bo walk away did Ah Yin's tense heart relax.

"Sister Ah Yin, he's gone, you don't need to worry."

Xu Xin held Ah Yin's hand tightly. Having just entered the human world, it would be strange if he wasn't afraid of encountering such a powerful person.

If it's discovered, that's a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year soul bone, especially now, since Dugu Bo doesn't seem to have a title yet.

That would be even more tempting.

However, Ah Yin didn't know that when the pattern of the Nija mask was imprinted on the back of Ah Yin's hand, her soul beast aura was completely concealed, and no one could detect it.

Xu Xin knows, but he can't say for sure right now!

"I'm fine, Xu Xin, you don't need to worry."

Ah Yin calmly shook her head. The world is truly full of dangers. She was just hunting for a spirit ring with a little guy when she encountered a powerful expert.

Should we really come to this human world?

At this moment, Ah Yin hesitated. Should she really come here?

Xu Xin keenly sensed Ah Yin's worry: "Sister Ah Yin, what you're worried about won't happen, don't worry."

"Xu Xin, you..."

Ah Yin glanced at Xu Xin in surprise.

Xu Xin put a finger to his lips: "Shh, I don't know anything!"

After saying that, Xu Xin smiled.

"You're the bad sister who hit me. What could it be?"

"Right, Gin-neechan!"

Xu Xin blinked his innocent eyes at Ah Yin.

"Pfft."

"Yes, yes, I'm a bad older sister."

"Does Xu Xin still want her bad older sister to follow you?"

Ah Yin squatted down, rubbed Xu Xin's head, and looked at Xu Xin tenderly.

Xu Xin nodded, everything was understood without words.

Soon, the ninja soldier who had been following Dugu Bo returned, knelt on one knee in front of Xu Xin and Ah Yin, and said something.

Only the two of them could understand it.

"Xu Xin, should we go and save him?"

Ah Yin's compassion began to overflow; she couldn't bear to see someone die—it was in her nature.

The ninja soldier returned and reported that the man had collapsed on the ground, seemingly injured. Xu Xin's order was simply to have them follow him; without further instructions, they would not act rashly.

Xu Xin took a deep breath: "Go ahead, but we'll just watch from a distance. Let the ninja soldiers handle it."

Xu Xin knew that Dugu Bo was a capricious person, and the two of them were definitely no match for him.

If I save him and he doesn't appreciate it, I'll be in trouble.

Ah Yin nodded in agreement. She didn't want to have too much contact with him, but she also didn't want to stand by and watch him die.

Soon, led by the ninja soldier, the two arrived at the place where Dugu Bo had fallen unconscious.

Ah Yin examined him and said, "Xiao Xu Xin, he's been poisoned."

"I can't cure the poison, but I can alleviate his symptoms."

As she spoke, Ah Yin summoned the Blue Silver Emperor to heal Dugu Bo. The immense life force entered Dugu Bo's body, and Dugu Bo seemed to show signs of awakening.

Upon seeing this, the ninja soldiers quickly took the two away.

Only one ninja soldier was left to guard Dugu Bo's side.

"You saved me?" Dugu Bo regained consciousness and immediately understood everything upon seeing the ninja soldiers guarding the side.

The ninja soldier nodded and disappeared.

This left Dugu Bo completely dumbfounded.

Is he even more cautious than I am?

What Xu Xin needed to do was to let Dugu Bo know that this favor was owed, and leave because he was worried that Dugu Bo, that unpredictable guy, might suddenly make a move.

Just think about Tang San in the original novel, and you'll know that this old guy actually wanted to kill Tang San back then.

"Sister Yin, what are your plans?"

Xu Xin looked at Ah Yin and asked.

"I don't know, Xu Xin, what about you?"

Ah Yin looked at Xu Xin and said.

These two people are essentially homeless in the human world.

"Sister Ah Yin, do you believe me?" Xu Xin asked, looking at Ah Yin beside him.

Ah Yin thought for a moment, then nodded: "I believe you!"

"Okay, I'll take you to a good place. But I don't know where it is yet."

"Pfft, isn't that the same as saying nothing at all?"

Xu Xin chuckled and snapped his fingers, and dozens of ninja soldiers appeared. Xu Xin quickly ordered them to find a place in the forest where ice and fire coexisted, and where cold and heat originated from the same source.

With dozens of ninja soldiers who could move around freely, Xu Xin was confident he could find it quickly.

"Xiao Xu Xin, what are you doing?" Ah Yin asked, puzzled.

Xu Xin smiled but offered no explanation.

Judging from Dugu Bo's appearance just now, he probably hasn't found the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire yet, so that place is still unclaimed.

That will be my base of operations!
