Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 71 You think I'm just an ordinary genius?

As Su Cheng and Ning Rongrong entered the lounge, the green-haired old man looked over with eyes like lightning.

The moment he opened his eyes wide, the temperature in the entire lounge seemed to drop several degrees. His dark green eyes, which seemed devoid of any life, revealed not only coldness but also a chilling evil.

Even with Su Cheng's sharp eyesight, before he could even see what the other party was doing, the old man had already appeared in front of him like a phantom in an instant.

At this moment, the short-haired girl with dark purple hair, who had just been sitting with the old man, finally realized what was happening. She quickly stood up and called out loudly, "Grandpa!"

Ning Rongrong, on Su Cheng's other side, changed her expression slightly and whispered a reminder: "Poison Douluo Dugu Bo."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo glanced at her but didn't say anything more. Instead, he focused his attention on the young man in front of him.

For some reason, he felt a connection with this boy who was a few years younger than his granddaughter, and his previously aloof demeanor softened somewhat.

"Was the potion that Yan Yan used before given to her by you?" Dugu Bo said coldly.

"grandfather!"

At this moment, Dugu Yan also ran over, tugged at her grandfather's sleeve, and then glanced at Su Cheng with a slightly apologetic look.

To be honest, although this was Su Cheng's original intention, Dugu Yan's behavior was not appropriate. She should have at least greeted him first.

However, the two had only known each other for a short time, so it was normal for him to give the medicine to an elder to take a look.

Yu Tianheng even reported it directly to his family.

Su Cheng's mind raced, but his face remained impassive. He looked at Dugu Bo and nodded, saying, "Senior Dugu, I did indeed give that potion to my senior sister, but is there something wrong with it?"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's expression darkened slightly, then he narrowed his eyes and stared at him in silence.

As a titled Douluo, even without releasing any aura, his mere gestures are enough to instill fear in people.

A tense atmosphere filled the air for a moment.

Yu Tianheng's expression changed slightly in the distance, showing both tension and confusion. He was already somewhat afraid of Dugu Bo, and now he seemed even more flustered.

Dugu Yan also looked bewildered, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say.

Standing next to Su Cheng, Ning Rongrong frowned and was about to step forward to argue with him.

After noticing her movement, Su Cheng quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist, stopping her from doing anything further.

He met Dugu Bo's gaze calmly, his eyes clear and unwavering.

The cold expression on Dugu Bo's face suddenly relaxed, and the slightly tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

He laughed loudly, "Good mindset, good courage, lad, I admire you."

"I wonder what Senior Dugu means by this."

Dugu Bo reached out and patted his shoulder casually, "No need to be so formal and call me senior. Just call me grandpa, like Yan Yan does."

Su Cheng: "..."

I used to call you Brother Dugu, and you called me Mr. Su. Now you want me to call you Grandpa?

Even if the two worlds cannot be generalized, I still can't bring myself to say it.

Of course, Su Cheng only grumbled to himself.

He bowed slightly to Dugu Bo and said, "I am honored by your kindness, senior, but my master is Sword Douluo Chen Xin, so it would be inappropriate to confuse the seniority."

"You've become Chen Xin's disciple?" Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised and glanced at his granddaughter.

She hadn't told me about this.

Dugu Yan was also somewhat helpless at this moment.

Before she could explain Su Cheng's situation to Dugu Bo in detail, Dugu Bo came over impatiently after only trying the medicine.

However, I was also a little surprised. When did my grandfather become so easy to talk to?

"That's right!" Ning Rongrong spoke up at this moment, "My brother is Grandpa Jian's only personal disciple, how can he call you grandpa?"

"Then why do you still call him brother?" Dugu Bo sneered.

Ning Rongrong blushed instantly. "Let's each talk about our own things."

"Then we can each discuss our own points."

"Senior, this is inappropriate."

Su Cheng quickly interrupted their argument and then gestured to Ning Rongrong to say less.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo didn't say anything more; he had only said those words casually.

Since Su Cheng is Chen Xin's disciple, he naturally cannot acknowledge him as his grandfather.

This is completely different from the way juniors interact, like Ning Rongrong.

After glancing at the people around him, Dugu Bo patted Su Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Kid, come with me for a moment."

He then turned around and walked towards a separate room on the side of the lounge lobby.

Seeing this, Ning Rongrong looked worried and tugged at Su Cheng.

Su Cheng glanced at her and said in a low voice, "It's okay, you can just wait here."

After saying that, he nodded to Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng, and then followed them.

After entering the room, he casually closed the door.

Seeing his actions, a hint of approval appeared in Dugu Bo's eyes.

He immediately became serious and said, "Young man, you seem to know a lot about medicine?"

"My name is Su Cheng, Cheng as in honesty." After correcting the other person's form of address, Su Cheng continued, "To be precise, it's not medicine, but rather a field of study in medicine."

"Alright, Su Cheng. You're so young, it's fine if you understand medicine, but do you even have time to study medicine?"

Dugu Bo looked incredulous.

"Senior, there's no need to test me. People are inherently unequal. Family background, connections, talent, personality—it's all the same," Su Cheng said calmly. "Just like the awakening of a martial soul, some people are born with full soul power, destined to become titled Douluo. Others, however, are born with zero soul power and can't even become a Soul Master. The same applies to other aspects."

"You mean, you're a genius in medicine too?"

"That's exactly right."

"How arrogant!" Dugu Bo was not angry; instead, he was amused by the man's words.

"Senior, you've been poisoned, haven't you?" Su Cheng glanced at him and said bluntly, "Your hair color, your eye color, even your scent are all evidence."

"Bullshit!" Dugu Bo's expression changed drastically.

"I know the effects of beast spirits on the human body. Senior, you don't need to lie to me. We have no conflict of interest, and I have no reason to intimidate you."

After a moment of eye contact, Dugu Bo's expression finally softened. "You're right. With your talent, and now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has taken a liking to you, you really don't need to covet anything from me."

After a brief silence, he spoke with difficulty, "You can tell I'm poisoned. Do you think there's any way to cure me?"

"I can give it a try."

"Then let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, I would be extremely grateful if you could treat me."

In fact, he was well aware of his condition and didn't have any illusions.

However, the poison in Dugu Yan's body was still mild, and he still held a glimmer of hope for Su Cheng's abilities.
