Chapter 92 Dugu Yan's Invitation, Visiting the Medicinal Garden

Heaven Dou Academy!

After the atmosphere eased, Ye Lingling curiously asked why Dugu Yan had been so emotional just now.

The others also cast curious glances, and even Shi Mo and the other three stopped their soul battles and looked over.

They also really wanted to know how Qi Lin had made Yanzi sister throw herself into his arms.

Dugu Yan then told everyone about the toxin backlash that afflicted their Dugu Family.

Only then did everyone realize.

No wonder Dugu Yan's reaction was so intense, it was because of this reason.

Calculating it this way, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Qi Lin saved Dugu Yan's life.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Yanzi sister wasn't interested in Qi Lin, they would have one less competitor.

"Qi Lin Xiao Di, I want to tell my Grandfather the news that the toxin backlash in my body has been cured by you as soon as possible, so I plan to leave the Academy tomorrow."

"How about you come back with me? Your kindness to me is too great, the kindness of saving my life cannot go unreturned."

"My Grandfather has collected many good things. You can come home with me and take whatever you like."

Upon hearing this, Qi Lin's heart stirred.

He had long wanted to see the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

So, upon hearing Dugu Yan's invitation, Qi Lin said without hesitation, "Alright, I didn't go last time when Dugu Senior invited me. If I don't go this time, it would be a bit disrespectful to Dugu Senior."

Seeing Qi Lin agree, a touching smile immediately appeared on Dugu Yan's face.

"Alright then, I'll come find you tomorrow morning!"

"Okay!"

While everyone was chatting and laughing, a group of royal guards wearing golden armor suddenly walked over from a distance.

And walking at the very front was none other than the gentle-tempered "Xue Qinghe."

"Qi Lin Brother!"

Qian Renxue saw Qi Lin from afar and took the initiative to wave at him.

Shi Mo and the others' eyes flickered upon seeing this.

The backgrounds behind them were all major families of the Heaven Dou Empire, and they were quite sensitive to these things.

Seeing the Crown Prince's enthusiastic appearance, they immediately began to speculate.

It seems Qi Lin and the Crown Prince have a good relationship. Could it be possible that he is leaning towards the Crown Prince?

After all, they all knew that Qi Lin had no background, so it wasn't impossible for him to lean towards the Crown Prince.

After all, now that Xue Beng is dead, the Crown Prince is the Empire's only future heir.

"Snow Brother!" Qi Lin responded with a smile.

After arriving in front of everyone, as Qian Renxue stopped, the two rows of royal guards behind her also stopped in unison.

Qian Renxue held an imperial decree in her hand, opened it with a smile, and then read the contents.

First, she affirmed the crimes of Xue Beng and his followers, then announced the punishment for the forces behind the few people, and finally announced that Qi Lin was granted the title of Marquis, and Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Gu Yuena were also granted the title of Viscount.

Afterwards, Qian Renxue also read out Qi Lin's fiefdom and various material compensations.

The compensation in gold soul coins alone amounted to 500,000, in addition to various rare treasures.

Finally, Qian Renxue added two sentences.

"Father asked me to compensate you with some external rewards. As your older brother, I don't know what you like, so I could only make the decision myself to help you choose some."

"I remember our chat the other day, and I learned that you especially like metals and oddities, so I specifically chose in this direction. I hope Qi Lin Brother will like them."

Qian Renxue was purely using the Heaven Dou Empire's money to deepen her relationship with Qi Lin.

"F-Fifty thousand gold soul coins!"

Xiao Wu's eyes widened in a daze, covering her mouth with both hands, her mind only echoing the compensation amount in gold soul coins.

She had never seen so many gold soul coins in her life!

Ning Rongrong glanced at her disdainfully from the side and said, "It's just fifty thousand gold soul coins. Look at you, so startled. Don't say you know me, Miss Ning, when you go out."

"I can't afford to lose face!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately looked at Ning Rongrong with dissatisfaction and muttered, "Hey, hey, what do you mean!"

Ning Rongrong snorted softly and didn't provoke Xiao Wu anymore.

She really dared to lay hands on her. Last time she angered her, she ended up being pressed against the wall and spanked wildly.

It was very embarrassing, okay!

On the other side, Qi Lin listened and said with a smile, "Thank you, Snow Brother, for your trouble."

Seeing this, Qian Renxue smiled gently.

"Since you called me Snow Brother, as your older brother, I naturally have to take more trouble for you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, presenting a scene of harmonious brotherhood.

...

The next day!

Dugu Yan arrived at Qi Lin's dormitory early in the morning.

Accompanying her was an old man.

Dugu Bo's medicinal garden was located deep in the Sunset Forest, and Dugu Yan couldn't go back alone.

Therefore, she was always escorted by a Soul Sage when she went home.

Dugu Bo, being able to reach the Title Douluo rank, was naturally not a solitary person and had people under him.

And this Soul Sage was similar to a retainer of the Dugu Family.

His main responsibility was Dugu Yan's safety after Dugu Bo went into seclusion.

After Dugu Yan arrived, Qi Lin also walked out.

Dugu Yan had only invited him. If he brought others, it would be impolite.

"Qi Lin Xiao Di, let's go!"

Looking at Qi Lin coming out, Dugu Yan couldn't help but say with a smile.

"Okay!" Qi Lin glanced at the old man beside Dugu Yan, then said with a smile.

The Sunset Forest was only a hundred miles away from Heaven Dou City, so the three people quickly entered the Sunset Forest and arrived at their destination that night.

"Miss, since we have arrived, this old servant will take his leave first."

Looking at the purple poisonous mist ahead, the Soul Sage old man cupped his fists and saluted Dugu Yan.

As he spoke, his gaze also glanced at Qi Lin, his eyes seeming to be scrutinizing Qi Lin.

Dugu Bo's medicinal garden never allowed outsiders to enter. Even this old man who had followed Dugu Bo for decades was not qualified to enter.

But this young man, Qi Lin, could, and even came with Dugu Yan.

This couldn't help but make the Soul Sage old man suspect, could this be the future son-in-law of the Dugu Family?

"Grandfather Chen, take care!" Dugu Yan looked at the Soul Sage old man and said with a smile.

The Soul Sage old man nodded, then turned and left.

After his figure disappeared, Dugu Yan said to Qi Lin, "Grandfather was kind to Grandfather Chen back then. Because of this kindness, Grandfather Chen followed Grandfather for decades."

Qi Lin nodded. This person didn't appear in the original work, but the original work was only a record of a period of Tang San's life from his perspective after all.

This character had no connection with Tang San, so it was normal that he didn't appear in the original work.

Afterwards, Qi Lin looked at the purple poisonous mist in front of him again. Further inside were the valley and medicinal garden where Dugu Bo resided.

At this moment, Dugu Yan's slender fingers suddenly held a white pill and brought it to the edge of Qi Lin's lips.

"My Grandfather has set up a poisonous array here. Without this detoxification pill, even a Soul Sage level powerhouse, once contaminated with the potent poison within, will convulse all over their body within an hour, their meridians withering and dying."

After speaking, she put the white detoxification pill into Qi Lin's mouth.

Qi Lin felt the touch of Dugu Yan's finger on his lips, hmm...

It was a strange and wonderful feeling!
