Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 42 Travels

For Qian Renxue, she is still a young girl at the moment, and for a young girl, the most beautiful years of her life, at the age of sixteen, can only be spent in front of others as a man.

Didn't she also yearn for a different kind of life?

But she ultimately suppressed these thoughts; having made the decision, her personality wouldn't allow her to regret it.

But Qian Renxue didn't know that in the future, a pawn in her eyes would change her very being...

After the palace banquet ended, Dugu Bo brought Jiang Li back to his residence and then spoke softly to Dugu Yan with a smile.

"Yanyan, you should go back and rest first."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan unconsciously glanced in Jiang Li's direction.

She knew that her grandfather would most likely ask her to leave at this point.

She probably had something to say to Jiang Li, but what puzzled her was why her grandfather insisted on sending her away.

However, Dugu Yan suppressed her doubts and planned to find another opportunity to ask Jiang Li for clarification the next day.

Jiang Li's eyes also flashed with a hint of confusion at this moment. Logically speaking...

He felt that his performance at this palace banquet was acceptable, based on his identity as a Blue Silver Grass martial soul.

It's unlikely to attract the attention of those at the higher levels.

It wasn't until Dugu Bo confirmed that Dugu Yan had completely left.

The smile on her face vanished instantly, and when she turned to look at Jiang Li again, her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Seeing this, Jiang Li hesitated for a long time before finally speaking with a heart full of confusion.

"Master, was there anything I did wrong today?"

After letting out a long sigh, Dugu Bo couldn't help but pat Jiang Li's head, causing Jiang Li to cry out in pain. Then, with a tone that was both amused and annoyed, he explained the reason.

"Foolish boy, you are my disciple, Dugu Bo. No matter how weak I am, I am still a Title Douluo. Do you really think your performance today was appropriate? Not to mention that my strength has increased now. Do you think these people can't sense it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Li's eyes narrowed sharply, and his heart sank.

Indeed, he was always cautious, thinking that he had to keep a low profile before he had fully matured.

But he seemed to have forgotten one thing, which was his current identity.

It would be strange if a disciple of a titled Douluo didn't have anything remarkable to offer.

He was simply good at so-called theory, plus the slight advantage of his medical skills.

Is it really enough for a Title Douluo to take him as a disciple?

The answer is self-evident.

For the high-ranking members of the faction present today, the more someone hides themselves, the deeper their curiosity will become, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they might even have murderous intent towards them.

If I were to perform like Tang San in the original story and display some of my strength today, the impact might be much better than if I deliberately hid it.

Moreover, Dugu Bo was originally level 91, but after meeting me, he quickly rose to level 94 and is about to reach level 95. Can he really sever ties with me?

Not to mention the changes in his appearance. To avoid trouble, he used the Blue Silver Domain to cover up his soul power. Isn't that strange? A Title Douluo improved so quickly in just a few days, especially after meeting a Blue Silver Grass Soul Master. During this period, the Blue Silver Grass Soul Master also changed a lot, completely different from what was said in the intelligence. Moreover, his soul power was not visible. Anyone would find that strange.

Upon realizing this, Jiang Li frowned, considering the consequences.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo could only glance helplessly at Jiang Li, a pang of reluctance flashing through his heart.

"Fine, since you want to hide, I'll just take you and Yan Yan out for a while."

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's decision, Jiang Li nodded slightly without expressing any objection.

He knew perfectly well that his overly reserved attitude at yesterday's palace banquet might bring him some trouble.

Taking a short break is the best choice for yourself.

Back in his room, Jiang Li couldn't help but show a bitter expression, thinking to himself.

"Having been in Douluo Continent for so many years, I never expected to be so careless this time..."

He was well aware that, although the Blue Silver Grass martial soul was a notoriously useless martial soul on the continent.

But among the high-ranking officials present today, there are undoubtedly some old foxes.

This layer of disguise was meant to completely dispel their suspicions.

It does seem a bit immature.

"It seems that I'll have to show some of my strength after I come back this time."

However, Jiang Li was also struggling with how much of his strength he should reveal.

The night passed, and after Dugu Bo finished telling Dugu Yan his decision with a smile.

Dugu Yan's face was filled with barely suppressed joy at being able to go on a trip with Jiang Li and her grandfather for a while.

This incident had a huge emotional impact on her, making her forget what she originally wanted to ask Jiang Li.

After Dugu Bo told Xue Ye about his desire to travel, he began to make preparations.

Since the three of them intended to travel for a while, they decided to conceal their identities somewhat.

After arriving at the merchant guild and chartering a carriage, they slowly left Tiandou City with the caravan.

In the shadows, two figures watched as Dugu Bo and his two companions left Tiandou City.

One of the figures couldn't help but speak up and make a suggestion.

"Young Master, are we just going to let this boy leave like this?"

The person referred to as the young master stared at the carriage carrying Dugu Bo and the other two for a moment before finally shaking her head slightly and speaking.

"No need. This person is Dugu Bo's disciple. Dugu Bo's identity is undeniable, so is his."

The two figures in the shadows only slowly appeared after the carriage carrying Dugu Bo and his companions had completely left.

It was none other than Qian Renxue and the Serpent Spear.

As for why Qian Renxue has this confidence?

Her confidence naturally stemmed from her background in the Spirit Hall, even though she knew that Dugu Bo's strength had improved.

But in the face of the Spirit Hall, they are still nothing special.

The moment Dugu Bo made the move to completely leave Tiandou, it was almost the next second.

Her good mother, Bibi Dong, would certainly not let go of this person who was known as invincible in group battles.

After being recruited into the Spirit Hall, it was naturally impossible for Dugu Bo to live such a leisurely life again.

Therefore, Qian Renxue was not even slightly flustered by the departure of Dugu Bo and Jiang Li.

Because she has something even more important to do right now: to gradually devour the Heavenly Battle.

After taking a few more glances at the back of the three-person carriage, Qian Renxue disappeared into the darkness. When she came out again, she was dressed as Xue Qinghe.

However, to Qian Renxue's surprise, the three of them's trip lasted for almost a year, more than double the six months reported in the notes.

If it weren't for the news of Dugu Bo and Jiang Li that she could still get from her subordinates, Qian Renxue would probably have thought that the three of them had already planned to go into seclusion.

Karl City, a medium-sized city, is located very close to Sosoto City, but its overall urban style is closer to ancient times, which is why it is famous in Tiandou.

The backyard of Tingquan Inn.

A somewhat thin figure, about 1.8 meters tall, was holding a blue sword in his hand. Upon closer inspection...

The sword in the boy's hand was actually transformed from Blue Silver Grass.

After waving his arms around, the boy suddenly closed his eyes, focused his energy in his dantian, and sensed someone's approach.

Then, he thrust forcefully towards a certain spot, and with a whooshing sound, a blue sword aura caused a series of sonic booms as it attacked the middle-aged man.

Upon seeing this powerful sword energy, the middle-aged man simply raised his hand slightly and easily received the attack.

Upon realizing that the power of this sword strike was comparable to that of a Soul Master, he couldn't suppress the admiration in his eyes.

Upon approaching the boy, seeing his resolute expression despite being drenched in sweat, one couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"Xiao Li, your talent in swordsmanship truly amazes this old man. If I didn't know you, I would probably mistake you for Sword Douluo's disciple. In just one year, you have already made considerable progress in the way of the sword. Tsk tsk tsk, if that old man saw this, he would probably want to snatch your disciple away from me, hahaha..."

"What Master says is completely untrue. I have only just entered the path of swordsmanship by sheer luck. As for attracting the attention of Sword Douluo, I am still far from it."

"You little brat..."

These two, who looked like master and disciple, were Dugu Bo and Jiang Li, who had been away from Tiandou City for a year.

As for why the originally agreed-upon six-month period was extended to a year.

This is naturally inseparable from Jiang Li.
