Douluo: This soul master has a little bit of luck

Chapter 92 Dugu Yan's Invitation to Visit the Herb Garden
Heavenly Dou Academy!

After the atmosphere calmed down, Ye Lingling asked Dugu Yan curiously why she had been so agitated earlier.

The others also turned their curious gazes over, and even the four members of the Stone Graphite group stopped their battle and looked over.

They were also curious about how Qi Lin had managed to get Sister Yanzi to throw herself into his arms.

Dugu Yan then told everyone about the fact that their Dugu family had a hereditary condition where toxins would backfire.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

No wonder Dugu Yan reacted so strongly; it turns out that's the reason.

Considering all this, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Qi Lin saved Dugu Yan's life.

Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Sister Yanzi isn't interested in Qi Lin, that's fine; it'll reduce their competition.

"Brother Qi Lin, I want to tell my grandfather as soon as possible that you have cured the backlash from the poison in my body, so I plan to leave the academy tomorrow."

"Why don't you come back with me? You've done me such a great favor, saving my life. I can't leave it unpaid."

“My grandfather has a lot of good things in his collection. Come home with me, and you can take whatever you like.”

Upon hearing this, Qi Lin's heart stirred.

He had long wanted to see the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

Upon hearing Dugu Yan's invitation, Qi Lin replied without hesitation, "Alright, I didn't go when Senior Dugu Bo invited me last time. If I don't go this time, it would be a bit disrespectful to Senior Dugu."

When Dugu Yan saw that Qi Lin agreed, a charming smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Alright, I'll come find you tomorrow morning!"

"it is good!"

As everyone was chatting and laughing, a group of royal guards dressed in golden armor suddenly approached from a distance.

And walking at the very front was none other than the gentle-looking Xue Qinghe.

"Brother Qi Lin!"

Qian Renxue saw Qi Lin from afar and waved to him.

Upon seeing this, Shi Mo and the others' eyes flickered.

The families behind them are all powerful clans in the Heavenly Dou Empire, and they are quite sensitive to these things.

Upon seeing the Crown Prince's enthusiastic demeanor, he immediately began to speculate.

Judging from his appearance, Qi Lin and the Crown Prince have a good relationship. Could it be that he might be leaning towards the Crown Prince?
After all, they all knew that Qi Lin had no powerful backing, and it wasn't impossible for him to align himself with the Crown Prince.

After all, now that Avalanche is dead, the Crown Prince is the only heir to the empire.

"Brother Xue!" Qi Lin responded with a smile.

As Qian Renxue stopped in front of the group, the two rows of royal guards behind her also stopped in unison.

Qian Renxue held a decree in her hand, smiled as she opened it, and then read aloud its contents.

First, the crimes of Xue Beng and his henchmen were affirmed. Then, the punishment for the forces behind them was announced. Finally, it was announced that Qi Lin was granted the title of Marquis, and Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Gu Yuena were also granted the title of Viscount.

Then, Qian Renxue read out Qi Lin's fiefdom and various material compensations.

The compensation in gold soul coins alone amounted to 500,000, in addition to various rare treasures.

Finally, Qian Renxue added two more sentences.

"Father asked me to reward you with some material things. As your older brother, I don't know what you like, so I can only take the liberty of choosing some for you."

"I remember our chat the other day, and I learned that you have a particular fondness for metals and unusual objects. So I specifically chose items in that direction, hoping that Brother Qi Lin will like them."

Qian Renxue was simply using the Heavenly Dou Empire's money to deepen her relationship with Qi Lin.

"Five...five hundred thousand gold soul coins!"

Xiao Wu stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded, covering her mouth with both hands, her mind only echoing the amount of compensation in gold soul coins.

She had never seen so many gold soul coins in her entire life!
Ning Rongrong glanced at her with disdain and said, "It's just 500,000 gold soul coins. Why are you making such a fuss? Don't tell anyone you know me, Miss Ning, when you go out."

"I can't bear the shame!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu glared at Ning Rongrong with displeasure and muttered, "Hey, what do you mean?!" Ning Rongrong snorted and stopped provoking Xiao Wu.

She's really daring to hit me. Last time I angered her, she pinned me against the wall and spanked me mercilessly.

It's very embarrassing!

On the other side, Qi Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Xue."

Seeing this, Qian Renxue smiled gently.

"Since you've addressed me as Brother Xue, I'll naturally have to put in extra effort for you."

The two men smiled at each other, displaying a friendly and respectful brotherly relationship.

……

Day two!
Dugu Yan arrived at Qi Lin's dormitory early in the morning.

An elderly man accompanied her.

Dugu Bo's herb garden is located deep in Sunset Forest, so Dugu Yan naturally can't go back alone.

Therefore, she was always guided by the Soul Saint when she returned home.

Dugu Bo was able to rise to the rank of Title Douluo, so he was not entirely alone; he still had people under his command.

This Soul Saint is essentially a vassal of the Dugu family.

His main responsibility is to ensure Dugu Yan's safety after Dugu Bo goes into seclusion.

After Dugu Yan arrived, Qi Lin also came out.

Dugu Yan only invited him; it would be impolite to bring others along.

"Brother Qi Lin, let's go!"

As Qi Lin left, Dugu Yan couldn't help but smile and speak.

“Alright!” Qi Lin glanced at the old man beside Dugu Yan, then smiled and said.

Sunset Forest is only a hundred miles away from Tiandou City, so the three of them quickly entered Sunset Forest and arrived at their destination that night.

“Miss, now that we’ve arrived, this old servant will take his leave.”

Looking at the purple poisonous mist ahead, the old Soul Saint clasped his hands and bowed to Dugu Yan.

As he spoke, he glanced at Qi Lin, his gaze seemingly scrutinizing him.

Dugu Bo's herb garden was never open to outsiders, not even himself, an old man who had followed Dugu Bo for decades.

But Qi Lin, this young man, was capable, and he even came with Dugu Yan.

This made the old Soul Saint wonder if this was the future son-in-law of the Dugu family.

"Take care, Grandpa Chen!" Dugu Yan said with a smile as she looked at the old man, the Soul Saint.

The old man, a Soul Saint, nodded, then turned and left.

After his figure disappeared, Dugu Yan said to Qi Lin, "Grandpa was kind to Grandpa Chen back then, and because of this kindness, Grandpa Chen followed Grandpa for decades."

Qi Lin nodded. This person did not appear in the original work, but the original work was only a record of Tang San's life experience from Tang San's perspective.

This character has no connection to Tang San whatsoever, so it's normal that he didn't appear in the original story.

Then, Qi Lin turned his gaze to the purple poisonous mist in front of him. Further in was the valley and herb garden where Dugu Bo lived.

At this moment, Dugu Yan suddenly held a white pill between her slender fingers and presented it to Qi Lin's lips.

“My grandfather set up a poison array here. Without this antidote pill, even a Soul Saint-level expert would convulse and die within an hour if he came into contact with the poison.”

After saying that, he stuffed the white antidote into Qi Lin's mouth.

Qi Lin felt the touch of Dugu Yan's fingers on his lips, um...

It has a strange yet wonderful feeling!
