Dugu Yan: My Grandpa is Kind and Loving

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After school, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were walking home together.

Upon hearing the servant's report that Poison Douluo had returned, a look of surprise appeared on Dugu Yan's face, while Ye Lingling showed a worried expression, cautiously asking:

"Yan Yan, your grandfather won't do anything to Lin Xiao, will he?"

Dugu Yan was taken aback.

"Shouldn't think so, right? It's not like the servants haven't seen Lin Xiao before."

"Grandpa definitely knows he's my friend."

Ye Lingling didn't speak, only giving Dugu Yan a silent glance.

Dugu Yan: "..."

Alright, she wasn't sure either.

Although her grandfather was very kind to her, he seemed very domineering towards outsiders, and he wasn't good at socializing, often giving people a cold and aloof first impression.

Lin Xiao... wouldn't be scared, would he? Ye Lingling whispered:

"Let's go in and see, Yan Yan. Call out to Lin Xiao first, see if he's still alive."

Although Ye Lingling was good friends with Dugu Yan, she was very afraid of Dugu Bo. Even though Dugu Bo always showed kindness to her, she was still a little scared.

Half of it was due to the outside world's reputation of Dugu Bo; the other half was because Dugu Bo really looked a bit fierce.

To the point where Ye Lingling's voice was quiet, afraid that her badmouthing would be heard by Dugu Bo, otherwise she would dream of poisonous snakes crawling into her bed at night.

No joke, it was really scary.

Dugu Yan was a little annoyed: "Lingling, my grandfather just doesn't look easy to get along with, but he's very kind!"

Ye Lingling didn't reply, only urging Dugu Yan: "Yan Yan, call out a couple of times, see if Lin Xiao can still make a sound?"

Dugu Yan was very hurt.

Grandpa was clearly a very good person, just with a somewhat cold temperament, but that was because he didn't have many friends, and he liked to play with little snakes, centipedes, scorpions, and the like.

But wasn't liking to raise small pets a manifestation of having a loving heart? Grandpa was very friendly and fond of these little pets, how could he be a bad person?

Unable to resist Ye Lingling's urging, Dugu Yan called out to Dugu Bo, but there was no reply.

"Lin Xiao? Lin Xiao!"

Dugu Yan called out to Lin Xiao twice more towards the backyard.

"Hey!"

"Sister Yan Yan, you're back?"

The courtyard door was pushed open.

A handsome young man with Red Maple-colored hair walked out, looking towards Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, his eyes bright, a smile on his lips: "You've finally returned?"

"I was having a very lively chat with Senior Dugu."

Hmm, more than lively.

It was quite fiery~ Ye Lingling rushed forward, looking Lin Xiao up and down, touching his face, pinching his stomach, even trying to lift Lin Xiao's eyelids.

She was just short of giving Lin Xiao a full body check! "What are you doing?!"

Lin Xiao suddenly took a step back, looking at Ye Lingling warily.

What bad intentions did this girl have? Ye Lingling patted her budding chest with some relief, sighing: "Lin Xiao, you're still alive, that's great."

Lin Xiao: "..."

Dugu Yan: "..."

Dugu Yan couldn't bear it any longer, angrily saying: "Lingling, I told you a long time ago, my grandfather is kind and loving, a very amiable old man, why don't you believe me?"

"Besides, my grandfather is so smart, he can definitely guess that Lin Xiao is my friend!"

Ye Lingling nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

She didn't refute at all.

"Yes, yes, yes, Yan Yan, you're right about everything."

"Lin Xiao, you said you had a very enthusiastic chat with my grandfather?"

"Why doesn't my grandfather reply to me when he's at home?"

Lin Xiao was taken aback, his expression a little strange.

Why didn't Dugu Bo reply? Of course, it was because he didn't dare to come out to greet Dugu Yan and was busy cleaning up the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison in the yard!

This old boy, he only dared to be fierce to Lin Xiao when Dugu Yan wasn't around. As soon as Dugu Yan came home, his attitude towards Lin Xiao immediately made a 180-degree turn.

He even asked Lin Xiao to help him hide it.

Using both soft and hard tactics, threatening and saying nice things.

"Ahem, because, Poison Douluo wanted to give Sister Yan Yan a surprise!"

As soon as Lin Xiao's voice fell, Dugu Bo appeared at the courtyard gate like a ghost, teasing something in his sleeve, and said to Dugu Yan with a smile, "Not bad! Yan Yan, look what Grandpa brought back for you?"

"Wow! What a beautiful little snake!"

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, and she ran forward happily, taking the green snake that crawled out of Dugu Bo's sleeve into her hand, skillfully playing with it.

That green snake was also a highly poisonous snake, of unknown species, its whole body like jade, crystal clear, making even Lin Xiao, who wasn't interested in snakes, find it beautiful.

Every time Dugu Bo went out, he would lie to Dugu Yan, saying he was going to find some poisonous creatures or to handle some important matters, and he would always bring gifts for Dugu Yan when he came back.

She was his only granddaughter, and he spoiled her as much as he could! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dugu Bo preemptively said:

"I was wondering why there was an extra kid at home. After asking, I found out he's Yan Yan's friend. Although he's still young, he's very brave."

"Yan Yan, this friend of yours is not bad."

As Dugu Bo spoke, he secretly winked at Lin Xiao, meaning that the old man had already said good things about him, and he'd better be sensible.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to exchange compliments with Dugu Bo.

"Rumor has it that Senior Dugu is difficult to get along with, but I don't know if it's because of Sister Yan Yan, but Senior Dugu is very kind to me. We hit it off right away!"

Dugu Bo laughed loudly.

"Haha, this kid is right!"

"I do get along with him. If we keep talking, I might even want to become a friend of his despite the age difference!"

Dugu Yan was completely relieved at this moment.

She turned back and glared at Ye Lingling.

'Lingling, did you see? My grandfather is very kind!'

Making Ye Lingling begin to doubt herself.

Could it be that she had sensed something wrong?

After the group went inside, they sat down and chatted.

They talked about the defects of their Martial Souls.

Dugu Bo said that he and Lin Xiao had already discussed a solution, which made Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling excited. They even ignored the sentence "but there may not be a foolproof guarantee" and were extremely happy.

"By the way, Lin Xiao, when are you planning to leave?"

Dugu Bo asked Lin Xiao.

To him, the Sunset Forest wasn't too far away, so the sooner the better, otherwise, waiting every day would be torture.

Lin Xiao thought for a while and replied, "I want to wait a little longer."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for my Evil Fire to erupt again. I have a faint feeling that the Evil Fire has reached a critical point. The third Evil Fire eruption will bring about a transformation!"

If the Evil Fire transformed, perhaps it could still retain its overbearing characteristics after consuming the Immortal Herb.

Lin Xiao didn't want the Evil Fire to disappear.

He possessed the Ice Heart Incantation and the Five Animal Frolics. After discovering the heaven-defying ability of the Nine Hearted Begonia to change fate, the Evil Fire had already become a heaven-defying golden opportunity.

Lin Xiao was not yet willing to give it up!
