"Can you put me down?"

After leaving the farce scene, Dugu Yan did not take Xuan Ming to eat as Xuan Ming had expected, but instead carried him through the block, not knowing where they were going.

"We're here." Dugu Yan stopped in front of a house. Without even knocking on the door, she rushed in carrying Xuan Ming.

"Lingling!"

"Lingling!"

The huge house is empty, and it is obvious that the owner here is also a person who likes quietness.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing the shout, a little girl who looked about the same age as Xuan Ming, with silver-gray hair and dressed in black, walked out of the yard.

"Lingling, is your grandma at home?" Dugu Yan asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Ye Lingling asked puzzledly.

"My friend is injured, and I'd like to ask her to help me." Dugu Yan shook Xuan Ming in her arms.

Ye Lingling was stunned for a moment, as if frightened by Xuan Ming's strange appearance, but she quickly came to her senses, turned around and led the way, "Follow me."

Dugu Yan quickly followed with Xuan Ming in her arms.

Arriving at the backyard, Ye Lingling asked Dugu Yan to put the person in the pavilion, then she walked to the east room and knocked on the door, "Grandma, Yanyan brought a friend to see you for treatment."

"Yeah." A simple response came from the room.

After getting the response, Ye Lingling turned around and walked back.

"What do you mean?" Dugu Yan asked.

"Wait a moment." Ye Lingling said.

If her grandmother doesn't reply, it means that when she is not around, there is no cure.

As long as you open your mouth, it means you are willing to be treated.

Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. She was actually a little worried that Ye Lingling, her grandmother with a weird personality, would not be willing to help.

"You girl, are you in trouble again?"

The door opened and an old woman wearing a light blue brocade robe and who looked to be about sixty years old walked out.

"Grandma Lan, it wasn't me who caused the trouble. It was me who met an idiot and almost got into trouble." Dugu Yan said angrily.

"Idiot?" Ye Lan walked over and put his hand on Dugu Yan's shoulder.

"Aren't you fine?"

"It's not me, it's him." Dugu Yan pointed at Xuan Ming who was sitting aside without saying a word.

Ye Lan looked over and was immediately attracted by the two strange black dragons behind Xuan Ming. "This child... has his martial soul mutated?"

"Grandma Lan, don't worry about this for now. Just take a look at his injuries first." Dugu Yan said.

"Okay." Ye Lan put his hand on Xuan Ming's shoulder again, and after sensing it, his expression changed.

"How is it?" Dugu Yan asked worriedly.

"Fortunately, I recovered in time, and you came in time too."

Ye Lan released his martial soul, which appeared as a pink crabapple flower composed of white and pink petals. The color was bright and the flower posture was graceful. The leaves and branches slid down from both sides, and the soft vines swayed in the wind, with the petals drooping.

Yellow, purple, black and black, seven soul rings slowly rose, this old woman was like a healing soul saint!

The soul ring flickered, the soul skill was activated, and a milky white petal-shaped light floated out from the Nine-Hearted Begonia Flower and poured into Xuan Ming's body, quickly healing his injuries.

In just a few breaths, all the wounds on Xuan Ming's body were healed, without even a scratch left.

"Thank you." Xuan Ming said.

"Yeah." Ye Lan responded, retracted his martial spirit, and sat down.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Dugu Yan quickly told Ye Lan what happened on the street. The anger she had been holding back was revealed at this moment, and she unconsciously carried a hint of murderous intent in her words. If the eldest prince Xue Qinghe hadn't happened to show up today, she didn't dare to think about what would have happened!

"Ge Long?" Ye Lan nodded.

"No wonder, his skin and bones are minor injuries, the trouble is the internal injuries."

"The healing soul master who treated him at the time was too low in cultivation and experience, and he didn't realize that the child's internal organs had been severely damaged by Ge Long's soul power. If you hadn't brought him to me in time, he would have been in danger after tonight."

"What?!" Dugu Yan's face turned pale and he was a little scared, but he followed it closely with anger surging in his heart.

"I want my grandfather to kill that bastard!"

Ye Lan sighed, "Don't talk about this with me."

Duguyan nodded, her emotions calmed down a lot, "Thank you, Grandma Lan."

"It's just a piece of cake." Ye Lan looked at Xuan Ming.

"Why did you think of attacking that Bars at that time?"

"Among that group of people, that guy has the highest status." Xuan Ming said.

"Everyone around was watching the show. If I killed him, the rest of the people wouldn't dare to deal with us easily. Once the matter got out of hand, someone who knew Dugu Yan would definitely come forward."

Ye Lan was stunned. "Your idea... is unique."

In Tiandou City, there are indeed many people who know Dugu Yan. Among the onlookers at that time, there must be someone who recognized her.

However, when something like that happens, there are always more people who just want to watch the fun.

Under the circumstances at the time, although the child's idea was a bit extreme, it was also the fastest way with the highest chance of rescue.

If we let Bars take the person away, it would be hard to say what would happen next.

but...

"You are not even a soul master, how do you have the courage to kill Bals?" Ye Lan asked.

Although this child has a tenth-level soul power, he has not absorbed any soul rings, and there is a huge gap between him and a real soul master.

Even if he possessed that special domain, it would be too impulsive to kill a soul master of unknown strength in that situation.

"Take a gamble. I had no other choice at the time. I couldn't just wait to die." Xuan Ming said.

"Take a gamble?" Ye Lan raised his eyebrows.

"Bars is the prince of the Barak Kingdom. If you really kill him, even if Duguyan is fine, you will definitely not be able to escape."

The military strength of the Barak Kingdom is second only to the Tiandou Royal Family! Moreover, the King of Barak is the cousin of the current Tiandou Emperor. If something really happened, Dugu Yan has Poison Douluo as a backer, and the Barak Kingdom would not dare to pursue it, but this kid may not be the case.

"I have no choice. I can't just wait to die." Xuan Ming said.

"Even if we have to investigate, at least there is someone to blame."

That Bars had obviously identified him as a slave. Once they were caught, he was not sure if Dugu Yan would be in trouble, but he would definitely be finished.

Passersby watched coldly, and there was no possibility of escape.

When faced with that kind of person, the result of compromising will only be death in humiliation.

In that situation, giving it a try was the only solution he could think of.

Moreover, he almost succeeded. If Ge Long had not suddenly intervened, his blood spear would definitely have pierced the throat of that Bals!

"Are you not convinced?" Ye Lan was a little amused.

I almost died! You still don't accept it?

"I don't accept it either." Dugu Yan looked unhappy.

"Why did it come out just when Bars was about to die? It was like it was intentional."

Even if he killed that damn prince, would King Barak still dare to go against her grandfather?

This matter was instigated by that idiot!
