On the road from Heaven Dou City to Sunset Forest, three figures were speeding along.
No, to be precise, it should be two figures, as one of them was being supported by another with Soul Power.
The three were none other than Broad Hill and Dugu Bo and his Granddaughter, all disguised to some extent. Those who saw them on the road were astonished by their speed, keeping a wide berth and not daring to look up, fearing sudden misfortune.
Looking at the figure in front, who hadn't uttered a word since they met, Du Gu Yan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Grandpa, who is he? He doesn't even talk to us, doesn't he take you, a Titled Douluo, seriously?"
Dugu Bo quickly covered her mouth, gesturing for silence, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Little ancestor, please shut up. You can't say things like that. You might be okay, but I'll be the one suffering.
Seeing that Broad Hill didn't seem to hear or turn around, Dugu Bo quickly lowered his voice and reminded her, "Yan Yan, don't be impatient, you'll know in a moment. And be polite, you must address the one in front as 'Your Excellency'."
"Is he also a Titled Douluo like you?"
Du Gu Yan couldn't help but exclaim, then remembering Dugu Bo's words, quickly shut her mouth.
Grandpa's attitude was telling enough; he was no match for this person.
But how was this possible? It wasn't her first time seeing a Titled Douluo; she had met Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Although he looked younger than her grandfather, he still appeared to be middle-aged.
But this one, she had seen his face under the hood with her own eyes, and he looked no older than seventeen or eighteen. How could there be such a young Titled Douluo? Even the much-rumored Clear Sky Douluo, whom she had never met, probably couldn't compare to this one.
Little did she know that Broad Hill's baby face was natural.
"In short, don't ask for now, you'll know everything later."
Dugu Bo reminded her again, feeling somewhat frustrated. He could tell from Broad Hill's level that he was definitely older than him, but he just looked young, which was very deceptive.
Well, the key is that he's strong, otherwise I would definitely mock him like I mock Ju Douluo.
With Dugu Bo's warning, Du Gu Yan didn't dare to say anything more, but she became even more curious about what was to come, secretly wondering what kind of force and person her grandfather was taking her to meet.
They traveled in silence, and with the full speed of two Titled Douluo, plus starting earlier than planned, they arrived at the edge of Sunset Forest by the originally agreed time of 5 PM.
Broad Hill stopped and turned to Dugu Bo, asking, "Can you fly?"
Dugu Bo smiled awkwardly and replied, "I can float for a short time, but fly..."
"Forget it, let's go on foot then. You're more familiar with this place, lead the way, don't keep Little Li waiting." Broad Hill interrupted him and pointed ahead.
"Okay."
Dugu Bo tugged at Du Gu Yan's arm, shook his head at his Granddaughter, who was looking slightly annoyed, and took the lead, with Broad Hill following behind.
To Broad Hill's surprise, Du Gu Yan suddenly turned her head, made a face at him, then quickly turned back and ran a few steps ahead with Dugu Bo.
Little girl, quite interesting, with a temper.
Broad Hill smiled, not bothered by her provocation, and quickly followed.
Soon, the three stopped before the poisonous miasma. Dugu Bo took out three pills and handed them to the other two.
"This is an Antidote Pill, it can effectively resist the miasma here."
Broad Hill took it but didn't swallow it immediately. Instead, he took out the bottle of pills that Han Li had given him from his Storage Belt and swallowed one.
"Little Li made that?" Dugu Bo looked at the bottle he had put away in surprise.
"Yes, if you want to study it, ask him yourself later, he has plenty." Broad Hill didn't offer him any.
"Okay, Yan Yan, swallow the pill, stay close to me."
Dugu Bo signaled Du Gu Yan to take the pill, swallowed one himself, and then created a Soul Power Shield around them before heading into the poisonous miasma.
With a "native" leading the way, the speed was quite fast. In just over half an hour, the three appeared on the platform where Broad Hill and Han Li had first settled.
By this time, the sky was already slightly dark, and this place was even darker than other parts of the forest due to the fog and the mountain peaks.
Du Gu Yan stood at the edge of the platform, looking down. Although there were fewer Immortal Herbs adorning the area, the scenery was still stunning enough to make her, who was seeing it for the first time, exclaim in amazement.
"Is this the place? Grandpa, it's so beautiful!"
Huh? What's that unfamiliar voice? And it sounds like a woman.
After Broad Hill and Dugu Bo left, Han Li felt insecure. After thinking for a while, he used his Dual Blades to carve out a stone chamber in the rock wall below the platform.
Of course, he didn't damage the vines hanging down from above. Instead, he allowed them to block the entrance of the cave. He even reinforced the stone chamber with materials from his storage space, so that if someone arrived, they wouldn't be able to discover him immediately due to their carelessness.
Hearing the faint sound of a woman's voice, Han Li, who had just finished his cultivation, entered a battle-ready state without saying a word.
His greatly changed Dual Blades instantly appeared in his hands. He also deliberately restrained all elemental power, striving not to emit any light. Only his Soul Rings, which he couldn't completely control, hung below, flickering with negligible light.
He didn't dare to probe directly upwards. Instead, he fully restrained his aura and slowly moved to the entrance of the cave. As long as someone came down from above, they would definitely not escape his sneak attack.
Du Gu Yan was still admiring the beautiful scenery above, constantly talking to her grandfather.
Broad Hill and Dugu Bo's expressions became extremely strange, as if they wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Han Li didn't dare to probe, but they did. The moment they arrived here, they discovered Han Li below the cliff. His actions were clearly seen by the two of them.
Well, you can only say he's really cautious.
As Du Gu Yan spoke, she noticed that her grandfather's expression was a bit off. She stopped talking and touched her face. There was nothing there. What was wrong with her grandfather? "Cough."
Broad Hill, who was holding back his laughter, interrupted the subtle atmosphere and shouted directly downwards, "Little Li, come out, it's us."
Han Li, who was concentrating on defending against the enemy, couldn't help but stiffen when he heard the familiar voice, and his expression changed slightly.
After a few more seconds, the expression on his face had returned to calm. He silently retracted his Martial Soul, opened the vines in front of him, and walked out.
"Okay, Master, Senior, you can come down."
Han Li's reply came from the basin below.
Hearing the voice, Du Gu Yan's eyes lit up slightly. The owner of this voice should be the young man her grandfather mentioned. She wanted to see what kind of person he was, not only cultivating so quickly at such a young age, but also knowing so much, and being able to gain her grandfather's approval.
Broad Hill and Dugu Bo exchanged a glance and nodded. The two of them took Du Gu Yan and descended downwards.
