By the time they returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the sky had already begun to faintly brighten.
Shen Hanyu was full of energy, not feeling the slightest bit of fatigue.
Dugu Bo, as a Titled Douluo, had recovered after just a brief meditation and was standing by the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, lost in thought.
Shen Hanyu didn't intend to disturb him. He casually ate some dry rations, patted his hands, and then slowly walked over to Dugu Bo's side, asking:
"Senior Dugu, do you have something on your mind?"
Dugu Bo glanced at Shen Hanyu and said indifferently:
"This old man is thinking about Yan Yan's matters."
Shen Hanyu was somewhat puzzled and said:
"Your granddaughter is doing well in every way now. What is there to think about?"
Dugu Bo let out a low sigh, then unexpectedly gave a bitter laugh, saying:
"It's all this old man's fault. Because this girl lost her parents when she was young, this old man felt he owed her, so he indulged her in everything, causing her arrogant and domineering personality to become more and more severe."
"And that kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family is also a proud one. The two of them can be said to have a small quarrel every three days and a big one every ten days. This old man is also somewhat annoyed by it. More importantly, this old man doesn't want Yan Yan to have any flaws in her state of mind due to emotions in the future…"
Shen Hanyu nodded and said comfortingly:
"Senior Dugu, don't worry too much. The younger generation will have their own blessings. They've just gotten together, and after the honeymoon period, there will naturally be a time when they disagree on everything. If they can get through this period, then as long as this relationship doesn't encounter any major troubles, there won't be any big problems."
Dugu Bo nodded, then suddenly said:
"Do you have any other brothers or sisters at home?"
Shen Hanyu hummed in affirmation and said:
"There's a younger sister who is three years younger than me. Her talent isn't bad either."
Dugu Bo nodded thoughtfully and said:
"This old man intends to have Yan Yan recognize you as her older brother, or simply have her recognize an uncle. What do you think?"
Shen Hanyu looked at Dugu Bo with some surprise and finally asked in an uncertain tone:
"Senior Dugu, do you know what you're saying?"
Dugu Bo didn't get angry, just nodded. He tilted his head at a forty-five-degree angle, looking at the sky, and said:
"This old man wants to pave all the roads for Yan Yan. Even if she falls in love in the future, it's important to have a reliable backup. After thinking it over, you kid is the most suitable candidate."
Shen Hanyu curled his lips and said:
"So you came up with such a lousy idea? You know your granddaughter's personality better than I do. If she could agree to that, it'd be harder than a sow climbing a tree…"
"What do you mean, lousy idea! This old man calls it preparing for a rainy day! Preparing for a rainy day! Do you understand, kid…"
Before Shen Hanyu could finish, Dugu Bo unhesitatingly interrupted.
"Alright, alright… preparing for a rainy day… preparing for a rainy day… You really trust me. What if I'm the kind of person who says one thing to your face and does another behind your back…"
Dugu Bo looked at Shen Hanyu with disdain and said:
"Aren't you originally that kind of person? However, this old man has a strange intuition that you kids are still someone who can be trusted, at least much better than those sanctimonious hypocrites."
Shen Hanyu didn't deny it. He knew better than anyone what kind of person he was.
"Fine, Old Bi Deng, after saying so much, I agree. As for how to convince your granddaughter, you'll have to figure that out yourself…"
Shen Hanyu simply gave up and said it directly.
Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, then asked:
"What does Old Bi Deng mean? This old man somehow feels…"
Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised and then asked:
"You don't know?"
Dugu Bo nodded.
Shen Hanyu's mouth twitched, and then he explained:
"Oh, this is a hometown saying from our Far North."
"Bi represents an elder with strength and prestige."
"And Deng means reaching the pinnacle."
"Combined, it means a senior who has reached the pinnacle! A figure worthy of admiration!"
These words were said with righteous diction, without a single flaw.
Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, wanting to speak but stopping several times. In the end, he gritted his teeth and accepted it!
Old Bi Deng it is… Old Bi Deng…
Although it didn't sound very nice, at least the meaning was good…
It could be considered that this kid had a conscience…
Shen Hanyu forcibly suppressed his laughter. His straight back even bent slightly, but on the surface, he still maintained an indifferent appearance…
.........
That afternoon, Dugu Bo forcibly brought his granddaughter, who hadn't yet started her holiday, directly back from the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
The three education committee members and teachers of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy didn't dare to stop them and could only respectfully see Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan off.
Shen Hanyu was sitting on a boulder, consolidating his cultivation. Sensing from afar that Dugu Bo had returned with someone, he simply didn't speak and watched the show from the side.
As soon as Dugu Bo landed, a beautiful girl with a striking appearance and a figure that was already quite developed jumped out from behind him, hugged one of Dugu Bo's arms, and swayed it while saying:
"Grandpa~ Why did you bring me back? I still have things to do later…"
Dugu Bo snorted and said:
"Isn't it just going on a date with your little boyfriend? Do you think Grandpa doesn't know about your affairs? You still want to hide it from Grandpa?"
A blush appeared on Dugu Yan's face, and she was somewhat at a loss. After a long while, she said:
"Grandpa, I've decided on him. You do whatever you want. Yu Tianheng treats me very well. Anyway, I won't break up with Yu Tianheng! Unless I die!"
Hiding in the dark, Shen Hanyu secretly clicked his tongue. As expected of the Love Continent, this love-brain was really cultivated from a young age…
A bitter expression appeared on Dugu Bo's face, and then he said:
"But… Yan Yan, you're only twelve years old. You have to protect your body well… Grandpa isn't talking about these things… you… sigh!"
Dugu Yan also embarrassedly let go of Dugu Bo's arm, turned her back, and almost had steam coming out of her head. After a long silence, she said:
"Grandpa, I know my limits…"
Dugu Bo looked at her and still nodded, saying:
"Yan Yan, Grandpa is old and won't care about these things anymore, but you have to promise me to protect yourself, okay?"
"And you're still young now. It's too early for all this romantic love… The most important thing for you now is to cultivate well…"
Dugu Yan had been listening seriously at first, but upon hearing her grandfather start nagging about these things, she covered her ears and squatted down, muttering, "I'm not listening, I'm not listening," looking exactly like she was throwing a tantrum.
Dugu Bo stood to the side with a helpless and somewhat desolate expression. If Dugu Bo were a hot-tempered old man in this scene, Dugu Yan would probably be twitching on the ground by now…
Shen Hanyu inexplicably felt that Dugu Bo was like those modern old men who had a green-hat situation at home…
Like… Old Deng? Downstairs? Ghost fire? Safety?
It was simply explosive…
But in the end, Dugu Yan couldn't withstand Dugu Bo's soft persistence and reluctantly nodded in agreement, though she still had an aggrieved and proud appearance.
Shen Hanyu clicked his tongue in amazement. His first impression of Dugu Yan wasn't great, but he could indeed feel that her nature wasn't bad; she was just a bit immature in mindset.
There was still some gap compared to the venomous beauty in the original work, at least in terms of mentality.
Seeing Dugu Yan nod, Dugu Bo finally let out a sigh of relief. Heaven knows what his mood was when he first learned that his granddaughter had gone to a hotel with that brat…
He almost wanted to go directly to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family and unleash a Bisphosphorus Divine Light…
"Yan Yan, the main reason Grandpa brought you back this time is that there's a very important matter to tell you."
Dugu Yan responded and said curiously:
"Grandpa, what matter could make you so serious…"
Dugu Bo showed a strange smile and said:
"Grandpa recently met a genius and got along very well with him. The other party is a once-in-a-century genius, and his age is only one year older than yours. So Grandpa wants you to recognize an older brother. What do you think…"
