Chapter 273 Dugu Bo's Speculation
In the ancient courtyard of the Dugu family, Dugu Xin, a former strong man, was quietly practicing the basic skills of controlling his soul.
In a corner of the small courtyard, his figure was as steady as a mountain, and his whole body was filled with deep and restrained soul power fluctuations.
After countless days and nights of hard work, he has perfected the combination of martial soul and his own spiritual power to the highest level. Even the younger generations of the clan admire this persistence and perseverance.
However, he has not been satisfied or rested on his current achievements.
The day when he fell from a much-anticipated genius to being bedridden and suffering from despair always reminded him like a nightmare in the middle of the night.
He must be warned not to let up in the slightest.
When he slowly gathered his soul power and returned to reality from the meditative state, he discovered that his daughter Duguyan, who was supposed to go on a mission with the special instructor of Wuhun Hall, had actually returned home.
In the lobby, Poison Douluo Dugubo was sitting on the main seat, his majestic yet loving face showing that he was listening carefully to his granddaughter's story about what he saw and heard.
Sometimes he showed a relaxed and happy smile because of the interesting things about his granddaughter, and sometimes his face was solemn and his thoughts were deep because of the important matters.
After Dugu Yan finished reporting the whole incident with her lively and smart words, the famous Poison Douluo fell into deep contemplation.
He thought to himself: "With Mu Zhe's almost all-powerful strength, to him, these worldly troubles are just trivial matters that can be solved with a wave of his hand. What's more, judging from the situation when they first met, Mu Zhe is here. The influence and intelligence network on this continent are probably unparalleled by anyone.”
"As long as he is willing, there is nothing that he does not know and cannot find."
Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, "But why..."
Faced with the fragmentary information at hand, it was difficult for him to piece together the full picture of Mu Zhe's true intentions, and an invisible pressure made him frown.
After a moment, he spoke to break the silence, with a hint of exploration and seriousness in his voice:
"Ayan, your 'master' Mu Zhe, has he kept in touch with you recently?"
At this moment, Dugu Yan did not notice the subtle change in her grandfather's attitude. She still maintained the girl's unique casualness and straightforwardness. She replied while arranging her flowing hair:
"Oh, he is mysterious all the time, and I don't even reply when I send him messages.
I heard from other brothers in our group that he had been out for a long time, leaving a lot of things for Sister Rongrong to deal with.
Sister Rongrong now has to take care of the new students who have just joined the Small Reincarnation Palace Lantern, and also has to deal with various consulting matters from the Wuhun Palace. She is really busy.
Sometimes I wonder, should we be his students or his secretaries? "
The information Dugu Yan inadvertently revealed was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, causing ripples in Dugu Bo's heart.
As a famous titled Douluo on the mainland, he had been exposed to rumors and secrets about gods in his early years. He was deeply in awe of those legends and powers that were beyond the understanding of ordinary people.
"Perhaps the problems that Mu Zhe encountered have gone beyond what our world can solve?"
Dugu Bo secretly speculated in his heart,
“But judging from the descriptions of those who witnessed it, the power released by that suspected divine battle has already broken through the boundaries of ordinary people’s perception of powerful power.
Could it be that the scale and impact of the battle between gods is far greater than imagined? "
Although confusion lingers in his mind, Dugubo knows that he should put aside the things he can't figure out for the time being. As the head of a family, he needs to make decisive and long-term decisions.
After some careful consideration, he decided to promote the connection between his family and Mu Zhe's forces in a seemingly ordinary way.
"Ayan, even if you temporarily play the role of secretary, it might not be a bad thing for you. It is expected that fellow disciples should look after each other.
If Rongrong is in trouble, you should help her more; and that girl from the Yang family, you young people should communicate more. "
On the surface, Dugu Bo seems to be encouraging his granddaughter to increase social interaction, but in fact he is quietly consolidating the relationship between the family and Mu Zhe, a powerful force.
He knew in his heart that even a figure as dazzling as Qian Renxue in Wuhun Palace was just a pawn in Mu Zhe's eyes.
The only way to truly ensure the longevity of the Dugu family is to maintain a stable cooperative relationship with the strongest person in the world.
However, the young and playful Dugu Yan was not aware of her grandfather's hard work. She misunderstood Dugu Bo's intentions and shouted with a blushing face:
"Oh, don't worry about so much!" Then he ran out of the house shyly.
At this moment, Dugu Xin walked out of the practice room and shouted to his daughter who was leaving:
"Yan'er, don't run too far, remember to come back for dinner!"
"I know! I want you to do it! Don't let grandpa enter the kitchen!" A voice from Dugu Yan floated in the distance.
With a warm smile on his face, Dugu Xin turned to look at his father and said calmly:
"Father, don't worry too much. Although I haven't had much contact with Mu Zhe, there is no doubt about his character and strength.
As Yan'er's apprentice, I believe he will take good care of and guide her. "
After hearing his son's comforting words, Dugu Bo shook his head slightly and nodded Dugu Xin slightly reproachfully.
"You, you, what you said makes sense, but the relationship between us and Mu Zhe is not known to everyone.
In today's turbulent times, if this relationship is not utilized and demonstrated, troubles will only ensue. "
He continued to explain earnestly:
"The strength of the soul master is important, but what is more important is how much power you can gather and how much strength you show in the eyes of the world.
If you show weakness or retreat, those allies who were willing to support you will also hesitate whether you are trustworthy when making decisions;
And your enemies will take the opportunity to press forward step by step, testing your bottom line until they find what they think is a flaw. "
Dugu Bo looked out the window, taking the Tiandou Empire as an example, and was deeply moved,
"Look at the Tiandou Queen who is proud of the heroes and above all people. She has been entangled in various trivial matters and has been exhausted.
When Emperor Xue Ye was in power, did she ever have such a situation? "
Dugu Xin listened carefully to his father Dugu Bo's teachings and deeply agreed with them.
He understood that as a member of the family, especially as the head of the family, the responsibility he bears is far more than the strength of his own strength, but also lies in how to cleverly use the network of relationships between the family and various forces to consolidate the family's position and expand its influence.
"Ayan is still young, and although I can still hold on in the world for a few years, the development and growth of the family cannot wait.
Those trivial and complicated, headache-inducing affairs will eventually require you, the new generation of parents, to deal with and solve them. "
Dugu Bo said to Dugu Xin earnestly,
"You must mature as soon as possible and learn to deal with these so-called "bullshit" things. Only in this way can our Dugu family remain invincible in this world of great contention. "
Duguyan in the distance was concentrating on taking care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard. She did not notice the important matters that the elders in the house were discussing.
At this moment, her mind was deeply tied up by her grandfather's words "being a secretary". She couldn't help but mutter in her heart:
"I don't want to bother with that wooden guy. When he was teaching me before, he always tried every means to "torture" me.
Now he asks me to help deal with those tedious things. It's really a headache!"
Although Duguyan complained, the flowers and plants that he had wound into springs had already exposed her.
