Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

Dugu Bo sighed and continued, "Looking back now, Grandpa almost ruined you! Luckily, you didn't end up together. Someone as narrow-minded as Yu Tianheng would have made you suffer endlessly if you had married him!!!"

Originally, due to the Soul Devouring Poison, Dugu Bo lived each day as if it were his last. He himself didn't know when the poison would claim his life.

Therefore, Dugu Bo didn't object to Yu Tianheng's interactions with his granddaughter. If he really couldn't make it through one day, his precious granddaughter would at least have someone to rely on.

But since his Soul had evolved, all his previous thoughts changed. With his lifespan, he could protect Dugu Yan for hundreds of years, so naturally, he had to consider Dugu Yan's happiness.

If Yu Tianheng was a good man, he wouldn't mind Dugu Yan continuing to develop their relationship. However, he didn't expect Yu Tianheng to be so petty and arrogant. It's fortunate that his granddaughter hadn't jumped into this pit of fire, or he would definitely regret it!

Dugu Yan smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa, I understand everything. Don't worry, your granddaughter is very smart!"

Dugu Bo smiled with relief and said, "Yes, yes, yes, my granddaughter is the smartest!"

"That's right!!!" Dugu Yan said with a smile.

Dugu Bo's eyes darted around, and he sighed, saying, "What a pity!"

Hearing this, Dugu Yan asked with a puzzled expression, "Grandpa, what do you regret?"

Dugu Bo said regretfully, "It's a pity that Grandmaster Lin has already become a驸马爷 (imperial son-in-law)!"

Seeing that Dugu Yan was still confused, Dugu Bo continued, "Grandmaster Lin is not even twenty years old, yet he possesses strength no weaker than mine. His talent and wisdom are rare to see in ten thousand years, unmatched by anyone. Such a dragon among men would be a perfect match for you, but now he has become the Heaven Dou Imperial Son-in-Law!"

Dugu Bo didn't look down on the identity of the imperial son-in-law, but he regretted that Lin Chen married so quickly. At that time, Dugu Bo agreed to Lin Chen becoming the honorary principal of the Tianwen Academy without hesitation, not only to repay Lin Chen's kindness but also to take the opportunity to get closer to him, hoping to find a chance to match Lin Chen and Dugu Yan in the future. However, he didn't expect Lin Chen to act so quickly and directly marry Xue Ke, which instantly shattered his original plan.

As a Titled Douluo, even if he was just a gatekeeper, he was still a respectable figure on the Douluo Continent. How could he let his granddaughter be a concubine?

Moreover, now that Dugu Bo's Soul had evolved, he had already escaped the ranks of the Titled Douluo gatekeepers!

On the Douluo Continent, having three wives and four concubines was very common, and outstanding men were often surrounded by female admirers. If Dugu Yan could marry Lin Chen, Dugu Bo wouldn't mind if Lin Chen had other women, but the prerequisite was that Dugu Yan must be the first wife.

Now, the Heaven Dou royal family had taken the lead, turning all his previous wishful thinking into nothing!

Hearing this, Dugu Yan nodded slightly. Recalling the handsome figure at the princess's wedding a few days ago, Dugu Yan also secretly felt regret. Lin Chen was impeccable in terms of both strength and appearance. It was just a pity that they were not destined to be together and was snatched away by the Heaven Dou princess first.

Just then, a maid hurriedly walked in and reported, "Master, the princess and the imperial son-in-law have come to visit!"

Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Quickly, invite them in!"

A moment later, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, Xue Ke, and Lin Chen were seated in the reception hall of the Dugu Mansion.

At this moment, Dugu Bo's face was full of smiles. Since his previous visit to Lin Chen, he had met Lin Chen several times, and their relationship had become much closer.

And Dugu Yan saw Lin Chen up close for the first time. Her fair face was already tinged with a faint blush, and her eyes were fixed on Lin Chen, not daring to move even a bit.

After some polite greetings, Lin Chen entered the topic of the day!

Lin Chen took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and looked at Dugu Bo with a smile, "Old Poison, I have something to ask of you on this visit!"

Dugu Bo waved his hand and said, "Grandmaster Lin, you don't need to be polite. Just tell me what you need! This old man will definitely do his best!!!"

Dugu Bo's appearance of giving his all and being willing to die for Lin Chen was very satisfying to Lin Chen!

Lin Chen not only had a great kindness to the Dugu family, but he also treated him with courtesy every time they met, never putting on any airs. You must know that Lin Chen's strength had long surpassed Dugu Bo's, and the Douluo Continent was a world where strength was respected.

And Lin Chen was also a man of his word. After Xue Qinghe seized the throne, he also let Xue Xing go and made him a carefree prince!

Although Dugu Bo had his own little thoughts, his respect for Lin Chen was from the bottom of his heart!

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "There are still nearly two years before the Next Realm Elite Soul Master Competition. Tianwen Academy is newly established and lacks a leader. I hope that you, Old Poison, can take on the role of leader! Lead the Tianwen team to win the championship in this Soul Master Competition to promote the prestige of our academy!"

Lin Chen paused, glanced at Xue Ke beside him, and said, "In addition, the princess wants to serve as the captain of Team One!"

Lin Chen handed over all the tasks that Qian Renxue had given him to others. How could he, who was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, be so honest?

Due to Lin Chen's appearance, the trajectory of this plane had long become unrecognizable. Shrek had collapsed early, the Golden Generation of the Wuhun Temple were all on Seagod Island, the Star Luo Empire was not to be feared, but the several elemental academies within the Heaven Dou Empire still had a certain strength to compete for the championship.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Lin Chen originally wanted Zhu Zhuqing to lead the team, but after experiencing it once, she couldn't muster any interest in the Soul Master Competition, and Lin Chen didn't want to force her.

Therefore, Lin Chen could only trouble his first wife, Xue Ke. With Xue Ke's current auxiliary abilities, coupled with the original Heaven Dou Team One, Lin Chen was still confident of winning the Soul Master Competition this time.

As for the training plan for the team, Lin Chen had already made all the plans. Xue Ke only needed to follow Lin Chen's plan to train Heavenwen Team One. Without any accidents, the strength of Heavenwen Team One would definitely undergo a qualitative leap after two years!

"Oh?" Dugu Bo frowned slightly, looked at Xue Ke strangely, and said, "I will take on the role of leader, but with the princess's strength…"

Dugu Bo hesitated, not wanting to speak frankly out of consideration for Lin Chen's feelings. The Souls of the Heaven Dou royal family members were all Swan Souls. Among all Souls, Swan Souls could only be considered intermediate at best. To put it nicely, Swan Souls were neither high nor low; to put it bluntly, Swan Souls were useless!!!

He had long heard of Xue Ke's talent. After seven or eight years of cultivation, she was still a Great Soul Master. If Xue Ke were to participate in the competition, the position of captain would be justifiable because no one would compete with her, after all, her identity as the Heaven Dou Princess was there.
