Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

Inside Tiandou City.

Following Tang Shang's suggestion, Seahorse Douluo wandered around the city for several days.

These days, some high-ranking officials and nobles in the city have heard rumors and want to use this opportunity to form a connection with Seahorse Douluo.

Seahorse Douluo welcomed all who came and talked with these nobles for a long time. But unfortunately, the Gathering Righteousness Sect seemed to ignore their actions, and no one came looking for him during this time, and Dugu Bo did not express his opinion at all.

Inside the hotel, Seahorse Douluo said in a deep voice, "We may have overestimated our resources."

Since its establishment, the Juyi Sect has expanded many times. Although there is only one Title Douluo powerhouse, Dugu Bo, all the Soul Douluos are in their prime, and one or two of them may even have the opportunity to be promoted to Title Douluo in the future.

Allowing an outsider with a titled Douluo to join the sect would inevitably mean taking away their power. Not only would Dugu Bo disagree, but the elders themselves wouldn't either. Dugu Bo wouldn't easily take actions that would disrupt the sect's power structure and easily lead to internal disintegration.

Seahorse Douluo knew that their previous strategy was based on the premise that the Gathering Righteousness Sect intended to win them over. Now it seemed that the Gathering Righteousness Sect did not have such an intention, or that such an intention was not strong, and their plan had to be declared a failure.

Tang Shang gave an awkward smile.

All his decisions were made in accordance with the intentions of Seahorse Douluo. The latter's flawed decisions led him to provide incorrect countermeasures.

"Your Majesty, it seems that our contact with various officials is more likely to arouse Dugu Bo's resentment."

"Fortunately, Your Majesty corrected your mistake in time, and there is still room for maneuver. Let me think about it."

"Being unfamiliar with the place and its people might be our excuse. Your Majesty is a newcomer and unfamiliar with many things in Tiandou City. In order not to offend anyone, you had no choice but to contact those officials."

"Your Majesty previously told Dugu Bo that it was reasonable for him to make contact with those officials in order to earn a living for everyone."

Seahorse Douluo breathed a slight sigh of relief. At least, his previous actions still left room for maneuver, and he hadn't completely antagonized Dugu Bo.

"Then, shall I go to see Dugu Bo in person and be more enthusiastic?"

Tang Shang thought for a moment, nodded, and then added, "We're unsure if our previous actions angered Dugu Bo. If we contact him again, it's best to ascertain his attitude before making any further plans."

Tang Shang wasn't very strong, but he was quick-witted. This strategy enlightened Seahorse Douluo.

It's unimaginable what kind of trouble the group from Seagod Island would have caused if they hadn't had such a strategist.

……

Seahorse Douluo has excellent execution skills. As soon as he finalized the strategy with Tang Shang, he couldn't wait to visit the Juyi Sect.

In the reception room.

Without keeping Seahorse Douluo waiting long, Dugu Bo quickly arrived to greet the guest.

"Oh, I didn't expect Brother Seahorse to be back so soon. Haven't found a suitable job yet?" Dugu Bo's words revealed a hint of mockery.

What seemed like a casual joke was not what Seahorse Douluo thought; he sensed that Dugu Bo was dissatisfied with his behavior.

Following the other person's words, he replied, "Brother Dugu, please don't make fun of me."

"My brother brought the young men from the village to Tiandou City, a place where he knew no one. With his travel money running out and not daring to offend anyone, he had no choice but to accept the invitation from those nobles." "It's true that my brother was foolish. Those nobles and officials were all up to no good. If it weren't for my brother's teachings, I'm afraid I would have fallen into their trap this time."

Seeing that Dugu Bo's emotions had calmed down, Seahorse Douluo quickly added, "Brother, I really lack the ability. I hope Brother Dugu can show us the way."

Making friends with people is not much different from doing business in essence; it's all about getting to know each other better over time.

If Dugu Bo doesn't give in, how will the people on Poseidon Island fall into his trap?

He paused for a moment and then sighed, “Brother Seahorse, you are just too impatient. A few days ago, you came to visit in a hurry. I had not yet finished my official business and my mind was in a mess. I couldn’t think of a solution for you at the time.”

"Recently, I inspected the businesses under the sect's name and found you some good jobs."

"What a pity that you came in such a hurry, I haven't even had a chance to greet the disciples of the sect."

Upon hearing this, Seahorse Douluo made his judgment.

It's clear that Dugu Bo intends to win him over. However, due to the obstruction of the sect elders, he cannot express his opinion for the time being.

Placing them in the sect's business network is likely a way of testing the sect elders.

Fortunately, no one else knew his thoughts. If Dugu Bo had known, he would have ridiculed him.

Seahorse Douluo has held a high position on Seagod Island for many years, so he inevitably has an arrogant streak. In other words, he takes himself too seriously!
Dugu Bo's move was merely an attempt to lull him into a false sense of security, thus paving the way for his later plans.

Seahorse Douluo stood up, bowed to Dugu Bo, and said with extreme humility, "Brother Dugu is so kind and benevolent, I am truly ashamed. If you do not mind, I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse."

On the surface, Dugu Bo was all smiles, pulling Seahorse Douluo to sit beside him. The two chatted back and forth, like long-lost brothers rekindling their bond.

The two chatted happily, and about half an hour later, Dugu Bo called the disciple in charge of business into the reception room and made arrangements in person.

"Yang Ben, why not entrust the transportation of your pharmacy's recent batch of medicinal herbs to Hai Ma Douluo? You should not only not deduct from this transportation fee, but you should also raise it. I believe that with Brother Hai Ma handling it, there will be no losses during the journey, and it may even be delivered to the owner ahead of schedule."

These matters had all been arranged beforehand. Following the "script," Yang Ben said with a rather troubled expression, "Sect Master, it's not that I doubt your decision. It's just that the medicinal herbs being transported this time are extraordinary. If there's even the slightest mistake, the quality of the herbs will change."

"If something happens on the way, our losses will be substantial."

Upon hearing this, Seahorse Douluo immediately boasted that he would use his and several companions' soul tools to transport the medicinal herbs, and that they would be delivered to the owner a few days ahead of schedule.

For him, this was a unique way to completely close the distance with Dugu Bo, and he had to hold on to it tightly.

Dugu Bo and Yang Ben put on a show, and in the end, the task of transporting the medicinal herbs fell to Haima Douluo.

As for this batch of medicinal herbs, they were naturally not high-value herbs. Dugu Bo would not easily risk the sect's property. This time, he was both luring Seahorse Douluo into a trap and testing the other party's character.

If Seahorse Douluo really embezzled the medicinal herbs, then things will be even easier.

"Alright, Yang Ben, I trust Brother Haima's character. Let's do it this way. I believe that once you've done it once, you'll do it again. As long as Brother Haima handles it well, the future transportation tasks for the Juyi Sect will be entrusted to you." (End of Chapter)
