289 Xue Xing's Strategy

Xue Beng was not a very patient person. After hearing the method of capturing Dugu Yan from Prince Xue Xing, he immediately took action.

Dugu Bo's herbal medicine shop would replenish its stock on the first of every month. In the first few days of the month, the herbal medicine shop was doing a booming business, and Dugu Yan was so busy in the shop that he couldn't get away. Even if Xue Beng personally invited Dugu Yan to go shopping, he would only be rejected in the end.

After these few days, the herbal medicine shop gradually became empty.

Xue Beng asked Prince Xue Xing to personally invite Dugu Yan. Dugu Yan finally agreed out of obligation to pay a favor.

"Sister Yanzi, this Xue Beng is not a good person at all. You must not get entangled with him." Ye Lingling reminded in a low voice.

Dugu Yan smiled bitterly, she knew it very well.

She was not young anymore, and had a deep understanding of the ways of the world. If Prince Xuexing had not stepped in, her grandfather would have died at the hands of the Spirit Hall.

No matter how despicable Prince Xuexing is, he is still the benefactor of their family.

She ignored Xue Beng in the hope that he would give up pursuing her. But she didn't expect Xue Beng to be so persistent.

Dugu Bo sighed and said apologetically, "Yanyan, I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult situation. The old man and the little monster will come up with a solution as soon as possible."

If it weren't for him, why would Dugu Yan have to endure such hardships?

"Grandpa, it's okay. I'll just go out and relax. Besides, with Xue Beng's strength, he can't do anything to me." Dugu Yan said with a smile.

Avalanche invited her to have dinner at Tiandou Hotel in the evening.

When Dugu Yan went to the appointment, Dugu Bo was a little worried and followed her.

…

"Uncle, are the people you are looking for okay? I'm worried if Senior Dugu finds out." As the sky grew darker, Xue Beng became more and more anxious.

Prince Xuexing beside him patted his shoulder and said, "Beng'er, this is your only hope. The life or death of those people is not important. When the time comes, I will kill them to eliminate the trouble."

Xue Beng showed some resistance, "If Senior Dugu finds out, I'll be finished."

Xue Xing snorted coldly: "Don't think about these things, you only have this one chance, and you must succeed!"

On the other side, Dugu Yan walked into an alley.

In order to cooperate with today's plan, Prince Xuexing closed two nearby avenues in the name of road construction. If Dugu Yan wanted to arrive at Tiandou Hotel on time, she could only take this alley.

Dugu Yan is not powerless, and the public security in Tiandou City has always been good.

Without thinking too much, she walked in. Halfway through, two big men suddenly appeared, one in front and one behind, blocking her way.

"The little girl is very pretty. I'll give you a chance to become our maid, otherwise..." A big man with a fierce look licked his lips and laughed loudly.

Due to the advance deployment of Prince Xuexing, no one except Duguyan would pass through this alley. It was difficult for the outside world to know what happened here.

Dugu Yan was not flustered, and sneered and said: "Do you know who I am? Get out of here!"

The two big men did not panic, and they revealed their martial spirits and spirit rings at the same time.

Dugu Yan's strength is that of a Soul King, and these two are Soul Emperors. She frowned slightly. If she still couldn't figure out that she was being plotted against, then she didn't need to live.

"Aren't you afraid of death!" Dugu Yan shouted angrily, and five soul rings of yellow, purple and black appeared under his feet.

The moment her martial soul emerged, anyone who knew something about the strong people on the continent could see that her martial soul had a great relationship with Dugu Bo.

The two big men remained unmoved and continued to approach Dugu Yan.

In the distance, Dugu Bo, who was following behind her, ran into Qi Tian.

Seeing this scene, Dugu Bo was furious and wanted to tear the two guys to pieces on the spot.

"Old monster, wait a moment." Qi Tian quickly pulled him back.

In the past few days, he has been secretly observing the movements of Xue Xing's uncle and nephew.

Not long ago, the retainers of Xuexing Mansion and Xuebeng left the mansion and met someone in an underground tavern in the city.

Qi Tian couldn't get in, but judging from today's performance, these two people were most likely invited by them.

You will know whether it is true or not after trying it.

"Little monster, Yanyan is in danger now, how can you expect me to stay calm?" Dugu Bo said anxiously.

Qi Tian explained: "Care leads to confusion. Didn't you notice that those two guys didn't take any action yet, as if they were waiting for someone?"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo calmed down a little and continued to look into the distance.

Normally, people who rob people in the street would usually act quickly and decisively to avoid any trouble. The two big men seemed to be approaching Dugu Yanbi, but they had no intention of taking action, and they didn't even raise their guard.

Such a guy is either a novice or has some hidden secret behind him.

The murderous aura they exude is more like the latter than the former.

"Old monster, Sister Yanzi is quite powerful. Even if they really take action, those two won't gain any benefits. Let's wait quietly for a while. If this is intentional, then the person behind the scenes will show up soon."

After giving the reminder, Qi Tian turned around and continued to watch.

He had a hunch that as long as this matter was handled well, the favor owed to Dugu Bo could be repaid today.

…

Not long after, Avalanche rushed into the alley.

He didn't even try to hide his intention and came straight here with a clear purpose.

Dugu Yan is now confused by the situation, and the pressure from these two big men makes it difficult for her to think about the hidden truth.

This drama of a hero saving a beautiful girl was exactly what Prince Xuexing had come up with. Although it was cliché, it was undoubtedly the most effective method.

"What are you doing?" Avalanche entered the alley alone.

Looking at the six soul rings under the feet of the two big men, he did not retreat at all, but took the initiative to step forward.

"Yan Zi, why are you here too?" Xue Beng asked in a puzzled manner.

Without waiting for Dugu Yan to speak, one of the big men sneered and said, "How dare you, a mere Soul Master, interfere in our affairs? Then be prepared to die."

"Go away quickly!" Dugu Yan was insensitive to avalanches, but in the current situation, she didn't want to harm an avalanche.

Xue Beng was not at all panicked. He quickly retreated from the alley and shouted at the top of his voice.

Coincidentally, a team of city guards happened to enter the neighborhood and heard the sound of an avalanche.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two big men did not dare to attack anymore and quickly fled.

In the distance, Dugu Bo's mouth twitched slightly, and he said angrily: "Does Xue Beng think I'm blind?"

In his eyes, such poor acting skills were not worthy of being on stage. It was not difficult to see through it with a little effort. But Dugu Yan did not notice it, and was grateful to Xue Beng instead.

Dugu Bo was a little dumbfounded. Although Dugu Yan was not very smart, why couldn't she see the clues?
