When the others from the Royal Fight Team at the training grounds began a new round of training, the Soul Power shields around the two dissipated.
"Yan Yan, go train first. I'll wait for you over there, and we'll go home for lunch together."
Dugu Bo was still very measured. He only picked at what he could say, mentioned a little bit, and aroused his Granddaughter's curiosity.
"Alright, Grandpa, wait for me a little longer. The morning training is almost over."
Du Gu Yan had only just learned the beginning when her grandfather took the initiative to interrupt the topic. Although she was very upset, she saw that the Soul Power shield had been removed and obediently walked towards the training ground.
But as for the effect, Du Gu Yan was frequently distracted during the following training, and she often looked in the direction of Dugu Bo at the side of the field.
As for the others, with a Titled Douluo watching from the sidelines, they put on a great performance. In contrast, there was no cooperation at all, making Qin Ming unable to bear to watch and actively called a halt to the training.
"Forget it, let's end the morning training here. We won't get any results like this. I'll take the liberty of giving you a break today, but tomorrow can't be like this, understand?"
Hearing Qin Ming's words, Du Gu Yan lowered her head with a flushed face. She also knew that her performance and her grandfather's presence had affected the others. She couldn't help but complain in her heart that she must give her grandfather a good scolding when she got home at noon and pull his beard. Really, he only told her half the story, causing her to be distracted all the time.
After everyone answered in unison, the training ended early.
Du Gu Yan greeted her teammates and went straight to her grandfather at the side of the field, then left Heaven Dou Royal Academy under the gaze of the others.
...
On the other side, after Broad Hill returned to Spirit Hall, he found Salas as soon as possible, conveyed Han Li's request, and then, while Salas secretly sized up his changes, he handed over the remaining two matters to him as well, before heading to the Spirit Hall cafeteria.
This time, Han Li would need to recover for at least ten days, plus the subsequent handling of matters, so the time would definitely not be short.
There was no shortage of medicinal herbs for the time being, but food should be taken directly from what was available, or let others prepare it, so as not to affect Xiao Li's recovery.
He hadn't forgotten that Han Li wouldn't have needed to waste this time in the first place, but it was because of helping him break through that it had turned out like this. There wasn't much he, as his Master, could do, but he would take care of the logistics during this time.
That was what Broad Hill thought, and that was what he did.
Without further ado, he took the Bishop's token he had just received from Salas and unceremoniously ordered the kitchen to pack a large pile of various ingredients. He casually instructed them to prepare a few tables of ready-made good dishes before returning to his room to wait.
Salas's efficiency had always been beyond doubt, and Qian Renxue didn't seem to have anything to do right now.
In just a short hour, Salas brought the news that everything had been taken care of, and Broad Hill could go over at any time, as long as he carefully sneaked in according to the established route.
Broad Hill patted Salas on the shoulder with satisfaction, indicating that he should work hard in the future, and said a long string of nonsense he had learned from Han Li. Then, he packed the prepared items and disappeared from Spirit Hall.
...
Let's not mention Salas's side, who, after receiving the response, happily instructed the personnel of the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall to quickly search for information on the Soul Beast that Han Li needed.
After Broad Hill left Spirit Hall, he changed into a new disguise according to the plan and easily entered the Crown Prince's Residence in broad daylight, making him unable to help but sigh at how useless the Heaven Dou Empire really was.
...
The main house of the Crown Prince's Residence, in the secret room.
Qian Renxue, who had once again returned to her female form, happily welcomed Broad Hill in.
Although she didn't know why Broad Hill had come again after only two short days, she was still very happy.
"Grandpa Broad Hill, weren't you going to take Han Li to look around? Did you encounter any accidents?"
The news that Salas had sent over didn't mention that Broad Hill was preparing to leave, so Qian Renxue guessed.
"Accident? It can be considered an accident, but to be precise, it's a surprise."
Broad Hill first kept her in suspense, and only smiled and answered when Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.
"Surprise? What surprise?"
Qian Renxue glanced at Broad Hill, who was deliberately teasing her, and didn't expose him, cooperating with him in his act.
"Does my breakthrough to level ninety-eight count as a surprise?"
Broad Hill straightened his chest and said proudly.
"You broke through? Of course it counts. Congratulations, Grandpa Broad Hill."
Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment, then sent her congratulations.
"Eh, didn't you just break through to level ninety-seven a year ago? How could it be so fast?"
Only after Qian Renxue finished speaking did she react and subconsciously ask.
"Hahaha, it seems that Little Snow, you've also noticed. There's definitely a reason why I broke through so quickly." Broad Hill then took off the hood on his head and winked at Qian Renxue.
"What reason? Eh, Grandpa Broad Hill, your face, and your left eye can also be opened at will? This?" Qian Renxue suddenly stopped speaking halfway through, seeing the fair skin at Broad Hill's left eye.
"How is it? Little Snow, am I even more handsome?" Broad Hill said narcissistically.
Qian Renxue was already used to Broad Hill's speaking style, and rolled her beautiful eyes, letting him figure it out himself.
"Alright, Little Snow, no more joking."
Broad Hill put away his smile, his expression becoming serious.
"The reason I was able to break through and my eyes returned to normal is actually all thanks to my disciple."
Qian Renxue blinked, not interrupting him, and continued to listen quietly.
"When I was taking him, uh, sightseeing, we found a treasure land. In it, we discovered some natural treasures, or rather, Immortal Herbs. You should have heard of them, Xiao Ju used to like collecting these related records."
Qian Renxue frowned and thought for a while before tentatively saying, "I seem to have heard of them. Chrysanthemum Douluo's Martial Soul is one of them, right? I don't know about the others."
Broad Hill nodded, agreeing with her statement, before continuing, "That's right, that's the one. Coincidentally, that kid Han Li likes these flowers and plants, and he even exchanged related records from Chrysanthemum Douluo some time ago."
When he mentioned the exchange, Broad Hill couldn't help but pause, seemingly thinking of something that had happened before, but he continued anyway.
"As it happens, in that treasure land, there were Immortal Herbs suitable for both him and me. So, after taking them, not only did I successfully break through, but I also repaired the Soul Bone in my left eye, and, well, my Martial Soul also became stronger." When Broad Hill spoke, the smile on his face couldn't be concealed at all.
"Mm."
Qian Renxue nodded lightly, not asking further, she knew that Broad Hill definitely had more to say.
Broad Hill didn't get the feedback he expected, so he coughed lightly, suppressing the strangeness in his eyes, and looked at Qian Renxue.
"You know, Han Li has been filial since he was a child."
Broad Hill's expression was very serious. Qian Renxue thought about Han Li's actions in the intelligence reports and nodded, which was considered consistent.
"So, I mentioned that I had a junior who needed a fire-attribute Immortal Herb, you understand."
Broad Hill gave Qian Renxue a look and continued, "Then he decisively picked out the best one from among them and asked me to bring it to you, saying it was a gift for you. Of course, I didn't tell him your identity, not even whether you were male or female."
"He just gave it to you like that? And said it was a gift for me?"
Qian Renxue's eyes widened, seeming a little disbelieving. Although she still had some conceptual vagueness about what exactly Immortal Herbs were, treasures that could allow a Super Douluo like Broad Hill to break through would definitely not be bad, even her grandfather couldn't do that.
This, this was too different from the description in the intelligence reports. She couldn't help but want to meet this "Junior Uncle".
"Yeah, I said, Xiao Li is very generous to his own people. As soon as I mentioned it, he gave it to me, and even said to let me send his regards to you on his behalf."
Broad Hill raised his chin slightly, refuting without hesitation.
What he said was absolutely the truth, so he wasn't afraid of Qian Renxue discovering anything unusual.
It was just that the thing wasn't actually sent out by Han Li subjectively, but Master and disciple, it was okay to say they were one, Broad Hill said to himself in his heart.
