Douluo Continent: Peerless God General, starting by deceiving Qian Renxue

Chapter 62 Taking a Leave of Absence

"Senior, don't worry. Before my master left, he taught me a method to suppress the poison in your body. Once the poison in your body is stable, you can practice this technique and you will be cured," Nan Feihuang said.

"Really?" Dugu Bo asked excitedly.

"Of course, but it will take some time. I estimate it will take at least half a year. Tiandou City is inconvenient. I wonder if you have a more secluded place where we can safely detoxify?" Nan Feihuang asked tentatively.

Unfortunately, Dugu Bo was not a time traveler; otherwise, he could have easily gleaned a meaning from Nan Feihuang's tone.

I want to go to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire! Take me there quickly!

Dugu Bo nodded. "Hmm, that makes sense. I can't let anyone know that I'm poisoned, not only for my reputation but also for my safety. Let's go to my place then. Firstly, there are plenty of medicinal herbs there, which will be convenient for you to gather. Secondly, it's close to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, so you can come back anytime you want. What do you think?"

"Of course!" Nan Feihuang was overjoyed. He knew that his main purpose in coming to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had been achieved. "Senior, please take me to the academy to complete the leave of absence procedures. With you, a Title Douluo, applying for me, I think the three education committee members will definitely agree."

"Okay, let's go!" Dugu Bo used his soul power to lift Nan Feihuang, turning him into a green light and flying towards the Academic Affairs Office on the mountaintop. As expected of a Title Douluo, even though Dugu Bo is not an agility-type, his speed is still extremely amazing.

"By the way, senior, let me make this clear first, I didn't save you without asking for anything in return!" Nan Feihuang said. He knew that with someone like Dugu Bo, being straightforward was more effective than beating around the bush or putting on a fake facade.

"Haha, that would be best. If you have no requests, I wouldn't dare let you treat me." Dugu Bo smiled. To him, nothing in the world was more valuable than the word "free".

"Boy, as long as you can cure me and my granddaughter, I will grant you three requests, three requests that will not violate my principles. Even if you make me an enemy of other Title Douluos, I will not hesitate for a moment," Dugu Bo promised.

"Thank you, senior." Nan Feihuang was very satisfied. Dugu Bo was famous throughout the world not only for his ruthlessness and viciousness, but also for his commitment to keeping his promises.

In this respect, he is much better than Nan Feihuang.

Although Nan Feihuang is extremely loyal to his own people and will do whatever he promises, even at the cost of his life, he is not so shameless as to go back on his word when it comes to outsiders. However, if the interests of his truly important people are involved, he may not be so inflexible as to blindly obey.

As for Dugu Bo, Nan Feihuang wanted to make him one of his own in the future, so he would definitely do his best to completely cure him.

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the Academic Affairs Office.

Dugu Bo went straight up and pushed open the door, skipping all the procedures of knocking, getting permission, and then entering.

There was nothing he could do; the three inside were only Soul Douluos, while he was a Title Douluo. The difference in their status was significant, and the three inside didn't have the right to make him wait.

Meng Shenji and the others, who were cultivating, opened their eyes. "Your Excellency Poison Douluo, why have you returned?"

When Meng Shenji saw that it was Dugu Bo who had entered, he didn't dare to be angry at his rudeness, but instead asked him very politely.

"I have other important business to attend to. I hit it off with this kid today and wanted to bring him to my school to study for six months. So I brought him here to apply for a six-month leave of absence," Dugu Bo said frankly.

Of course, he wouldn't say that he was poisoned and needed Nan Feihuang to save him; where would that leave the dignity of a Poison Douluo?

However, precisely because he is a Title Douluo, as long as he uses the excuse of teaching Nan Feihuang cultivation, there will be no problem. Who can refuse the personal instruction of a Title Douluo?

"What? Does Your Majesty intend to take Fei Huang as your disciple?" Meng Shenji asked in surprise. He knew that Nan Fei Huang was exceptionally talented, but he did not expect that even Dugu Bo, who always kept to himself, would value him so highly.

Dugu Bo said, "It's neither true nor false. This kid already has a master, so I can't accept him as my direct disciple. But if he can't be my master, he can be my teacher. I wonder if the Education Commission can agree to that?"

"Of course I wouldn't dare to have any objections, as long as Fei Huang and his parents agree." Meng Shenji didn't dare to overstep his bounds, after all, Nan Fei Huang was different from ordinary students; his background was too powerful.

The position of Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Gulei might not mean much to a Soul Douluo like him, but he also has a Title Douluo mother.

"Grandpa Education Commissioner, don't worry, I'll write a letter to my mother right away, and she'll definitely agree," Nan Feihuang said obediently.

Meng Shenji nodded. "Alright, Feihuang, as long as His Majesty Xuanbing agrees, I will immediately approve your leave of absence application. The opportunity to be personally taught by a Title Douluo is rare, so you must work hard to learn from His Majesty Poison Douluo, understand?"

"Yes, Feihuang will keep in mind Grandpa Education Commission's teachings."

That same day, Nan Feihuang wrote a letter, asking a speed-type Soul Master to send it quickly to the Kingdom of Gulei.

At the same time, he also went to see Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke in person.

"What? The Poison Douluo is going to teach you cultivation and poison techniques?" Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe showed the same shocked expression as the previous education committee member.

Dugu Bo, who always acted independently and never considered others, actually had the idea of ​​taking on disciples one day.

"The incredible speed of soul power cultivation, coupled with the second ring after a thousand years, has even tempted that old poison master?" Xue Qinghe thought to himself.

"Brother Feihuang, your martial soul isn't a poison-type martial soul, so there's no need for you to learn poison, especially since you'll be gone for half a year." Xue Ke tugged at Nan Feihuang's clothes, her face full of reluctance.

She was developing feelings for Nan Feihuang, and she could feel that she had fallen in love with him. However, Nan Feihuang seemed to treat her only like a younger sister. She had originally planned to work harder in the future.

As a result, Nan Feihuang was to be taken away by Dugu Bo for half a year. How could she accept being separated from her beloved for so long?

"Your Highness, don't worry. The place I'm going to isn't far from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, and I can come back to see you every month," Nan Feihuang said with a smile. "Besides, my learning of poison isn't just for increasing combat power. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Even if I become very strong in the future, if I'm poisoned, I'll still be vulnerable to being ambushed. Learning how to use poison to cure poison will make me safer when traveling across the continent, won't it?"

Nan Feihuang had already found a legitimate reason.

Seeing that Nan Feihuang's words were reasonable and well-founded, and that he had promised to come back to visit her every month, Xue Ke could only reluctantly let go of Nan Feihuang. She did not want to become a stumbling block on Nan Feihuang's path to growth.

Since Xue Ke, as his fiancée, had agreed, Xue Qinghe had no grounds to object and could only urge Nan Feihuang to come back and visit more often.

A few days later, Lan Xue's reply arrived, agreeing to let Nan Feihuang study with Dugu Bo and hoping that Dugu Bo would take good care of his son.

And so, Nan Feihuang successfully applied for a leave of absence from school, preparing to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which he had longed for for ten years since he came to this continent.
