Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

"Grandpa, you and Zhuqing go into the city first to ensure her safety."

"Zhuqing, after you go to the city, buy me a few sets of clothes, roughly the size you wear."

"I need to rush to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy now to find Dugu Bo. I have some questions for him."

"Do you all understand now?"

"Understood, let's get started."

Gu Yi now truly feels that time is of the essence. He originally thought it wouldn't take much time, but now the sun is about to set.

"Clothes? Or my size?"

"Gu Yi, what do you want to use it for?"

Zhu Zhuqing was a little confused. Although she knew what to do, she couldn't understand why Gu Yi was doing this.

"Um... this is hard to explain, I'll explain it to you in detail later."

An awkward expression appeared on Gu Yi's face. He really didn't know how to answer Zhu Zhuqing's question.

"Ahem! In short, just do as I say for now. I'll explain the reasons later."

After saying this, Gu Yi hurriedly flew towards the location of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

It was so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Gu Rong and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt, but they still decided to do as Gu Yi suggested.

In fact, what Gu Yi wants to do is very simple: you just need to find Qian Renxue and see her again.

Previously, there was a significant gap between them in terms of status and strength.

But things are different now. Times have changed, and he now has the leverage to negotiate with Qian Renxue. It's time to do something he's been wanting to do for a long time.

However, there is a small problem: Gu Yi has no idea where Qian Renxue is right now.

He was not familiar with the palace, and the entire Tiandou City was currently in a period of great chaos, making it even more difficult to find someone.

Fortunately, he still had his own methods. As long as he could find Dugu Bo, everything would be much easier to handle.

"Dugu Bo and Xue Xing usually get along well, so he should know some things about what's happening in the palace, right?"

With this in mind, Gu Yi charged all the way into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

He used the same method as a year ago, since there was nothing left to hide from now on.

Coming in openly and honestly might actually make it much easier to find someone.

"Hmm? Who's that? Why does he look so familiar?"

"It did look somewhat familiar, but it was flying too fast, so I didn't quite see it clearly."

"Are you blind? Isn't that Gu Yi? The one that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School hunted down a year ago?"

"Hey! It really is him, but what does he want to do at our academy? Now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile..."

"Is Zong not going to arrest him?"

"It seems that's true. Although they didn't say why, they've stopped arresting people now, and we don't know why."

"Forget it, that's none of our business. Let him come or not, it's up to him."

"..."

Gu Yi's sudden appearance attracted many students from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, who were all curious about what Gu Yi wanted to do by suddenly coming to the academy.

But then, Gu Yi rushed straight into a teaching building right in front of them.

He walked precisely to the door marked 803, pushed it open, and went inside.

As soon as the door opened, Dugu Bo's striking hair color caught Gu Yi's eye. He was leisurely lying in a rocking chair, flipping through a book.

"Hmph, I knew it was you, kid. No one else would be so rude."

Dugu Bo didn't even glance at Gu Yi, and laughed.

"Haha, next time I come to see you, I'll definitely remember to knock."

"Alright, Dugu Bo, how have you been lately?"

"The side effects caused by the toxins remaining in your body should all be gone now, right?"

Gu Yi walked slowly toward Dugu Bo, asking him with concern.

"Yeah, thanks to you, all those side effects are gone."

"But... what brings you here today? Did you come specifically to detoxify Yanzi?"

The poison in Dugu Yan's body has been lingering for a while. Although it's not urgent, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

"This isn't urgent. I'll be staying in Tiandou these days, so I'll have plenty of time to help her."

"I came to see you today mainly because of something else."

Do you know where Xue Qinghe is today?

"Or perhaps, do you know the layout of the palace?"

"What is Xueye's current physical condition? How much longer can she hold on?"

Gu Yi fired off a barrage of questions like a machine gunner, leaving Dugu Bo somewhat at a loss for words.

"Xue Qinghe? What do you want with him? I'm not very familiar with the layout of the palace."

"But there's one thing I do know about Xueye's current physical condition."

“The toxins in his body had accumulated to a terrifying level. Just a few days ago, I was secretly summoned to the palace to treat him.”

"Considering that you still need some time to grow, I stepped in to help him. Now he can barely survive for another year or two, which should be enough for you to grow, right?"

The growth that Dugu Bo was referring to was not Gu Yi's soul power cultivation, but rather the growth of the forces he had placed within the Spirit Hall.

In Dugu Bo's eyes, even if Gu Yi was a genius, how far could his soul power be cultivated in just one or two years?

"One or two years?"

Gu Yi repeated Dugu Bo's words, but he had other thoughts in his mind.

'This is probably just Dugu Bo's own perception of the timeframe.'

'That's how it is in the original story too. Dugu Bo thought he had controlled it himself, but in reality, he couldn't handle the poison at all.'

'If this continues, it won't be long before Xueye is completely finished.'

The only way to solve this problem is probably to find Qian Renxue.

Where is Qian Renxue now?

"If you want to find Xue Qinghe, I do have a way."

"It's naturally difficult for us to find their traces, but what about Xue Beng and Xue Xing, who are also members of the royal family?"

"You can definitely have them take you there. With my connections, getting them to help you with this small matter shouldn't be a problem."

With that, Dugu Bo put the book in his hand aside, got up, and led Gu Yi outside.

Now that he understands Gu Yi's needs, he might as well just do it. Anyway, he has already decided to stand on Gu Yi's side, so whatever he does is justified.

After spending half a year together, he was quite at ease with Gu Yi's character and conduct, at least he wouldn't harm him.

"Where are we going?"

Gu Yi followed beside Dugu Bo and asked curiously.

"Of course we should go to the vice principal's office. Xuexing should be there at this time."

"I'll have him take you to Xue Qinghe."

Chapter 102 Trouble

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in."

Upon hearing a response, Dugu Bo pushed open the door to the vice principal's office and led Gu Yi inside quickly.

"Hmm? Mr. Dugu? What brings you here?"

Xue Xing was sitting at his desk dealing with some trivial matters when he saw Dugu Bo arrive. He immediately stood up, looking somewhat flustered.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. It's not that His Majesty has any problems. It's just that I need to trouble you with a small matter."

Dugu Bo waved his hand casually and explained.

"Oh, that's good."

"Mr. Dugu, please speak. As long as it is within my power, I will definitely help you."

Xue Xing has now placed herself in a very humble position and speaks with extreme politeness.

He is now relying on Dugu Bo; otherwise, his elder brother's condition would be difficult to control.

"It's simple. The young man next to me is looking for Xue Qinghe, but he can't find him because of his status. So, could you please take him there?"

"This matter is quite important, so please don't delay."

Dugu Bo nudged Gu Yi beside him and explained his purpose.

"Greetings, Prince Xuexing. I beg Your Highness to help this humble one."

Gu Yi bowed to Xue Xing and spoke respectfully.

"No need for that, just rise."

"Uh... this is not difficult, and it's quite simple to do, but could you please tell me the reason behind it, Mr. Dugu?"

Because of Dugu Bo, Xue Xing was very polite to Gu Yi, but he now had some doubts and wanted to know why Gu Yi wanted to see Xue Qinghe.

After all, Xue Qinghe is now a thorn in his side, and he has to be careful of anyone who is related to him.

"The reason? That's a private matter between them, and I can't go into details."

"Does the prince not even trust me?"

Dugu Bo didn't know what Gu Yi wanted to do with Xue Qinghe, but he was certain that it was something that would benefit them.
