After hearing Luo Ye's words, Dugu Bo did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Luo Ye and said in a deep voice.
"I'll take the liberty of calling you Luo Ye. In the future, you don't have to be so polite in front of me. Whether you want to call me Dugu Bo directly, or call me grandpa like Du Guyan, either is fine."
Luo Ye glanced at Dugu Bo and naturally understood the meaning implied in his words.
So, he didn't hesitate and said directly.
"Grandpa Dugu."
Dugu Bo immediately beamed with joy upon hearing this, his old face practically blooming with smiles.
What he cared about was not merely getting closer to Luo Ye, but rather using this opportunity to gauge Luo Ye's attitude towards him.
It now seemed that he was not resistant to being close to him.
And this also meant that Du Guyan still had a great chance to be with Luo Ye.
As a Titled Douluo, even if Dugu Bo's strength was at the bottom among all Titled Douluo, his discernment was certainly not bad.
Dugu Bo was very clear about how terrifying Luo Ye's talent was. As long as he didn't fall midway, he would definitely become a top powerhouse on the Douluo Continent in time.
If he could become Du Guyan's partner, it would definitely be the best choice for Du Guyan.
For the future of his granddaughter, Dugu Bo had truly worried himself sick.
Du Guyan didn't notice her grandpa's thoughts and couldn't help but urge him.
"Don't waste time, Grandpa. Trading those herbs in your medicinal garden for these two pieces of essence gold of life is a huge profit for you."
"Hurry and take me and Luo Ye to your medicinal garden to take a look. If not, just give all the herbs to Luo Ye."
Knowing full well how precious the Immortal Herbs of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were, Du Guyan still spoke such words, perfectly illustrating what it meant to "bend one's elbow outwards" (i.e., favor outsiders over one's own).
Dugu Bo, who was unaware of this, didn't take it to heart. He immediately agreed and took Luo Ye and Du Guyan to the Sunset Forest.
In Dugu Bo's opinion, this kid Luo Ye must have a soft spot for Du Guyan, otherwise he wouldn't possibly give such a valuable treasure as essence gold of life to Du Guyan for free.
Since that was the case, he would just give all the herbs near that hot spring to Luo Ye, as Du Guyan suggested.
Anyway, they would be family in the future, so it could be considered giving out a portion of Du Guyan's dowry in advance.
Although Dugu Bo didn't know the effects of the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he could vaguely sense their extraordinary nature.
It was only out of concern for potential negative side effects after consuming them that he had never acted rashly, and every time he visited the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he could only watch longingly.
Therefore, when he said that Luo Ye could pack up all the Immortal Herbs and take them away, Dugu Bo felt no heartache at all. Instead, he even felt that he had taken this opportunity to get rid of these somewhat useless herbs.
To this, Luo Ye could only say: as long as you're happy.
It seems that the saying "Heavenly treasures are for the capable" is truly not an empty talk. Some people, even when guarding a treasure mountain, simply do not realize its value.
It was precisely because of this that the transaction with Dugu Bo was unbelievably smooth this time.
Even after putting all the Immortal Herbs into his spirit tool and returning to Heaven Dou City, Luo Ye still felt it was somewhat unreal, and he couldn't help but sigh in his diary.
[This transaction with Dugu Bo was simply too smooth, without any twists or turns from beginning to end.]
[Thanks to Na'er, if it weren't for the essence gold of life she provided, giving me the bargaining chip to move Dugu Bo, even if the other party didn't know the terrifying effects of those Immortal Herbs, he would absolutely not have given them to me.]
[Since my rebirth, Na'er has provided me with great help in several matters.]
[Whether it was initially allowing Tang San and Oscar to absorb ten-year spirit rings, or persuading Xiao Wu to leave Shrek Academy with me, or even actively bringing me and Snow Empress together, all these actions truly align with my wishes.]
[Speaking of which, in my previous life, Na'er, Zhuqing, and Xue'er had multiple disputes over who was the eldest sister, and they never settled it, which gave me a headache.]
[Zhuqing was the first I met, Xue'er had the status of my fiancée, and Na'er provided me with the most help.]
[If I were to choose among the three of them, I simply couldn't.]
[However, that is already a matter of the previous life. In this life, besides Na'er having her past life memories, my relationships with Zhuqing and Xue'er have to start from scratch.]
[If things continue to develop like this, I'm afraid Na'er will win this competition.]
[Oh well, let's not think about it too much for now. When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a way. No one can say what will happen in the future.]
[It's better to take the Immortal Herbs back first. Besides Na'er and Zhuqing, I can't give the Immortal Herbs to Xue'er and others yet. I can only wait until our relationship becomes closer.]
Upon reading this diary entry, Du Guyan's mood instantly soured.
This guy Luo Ye took all the credit for Gu Yuena, completely ignoring her contributions.
If it weren't for her excellent cooperation, how could this transaction have been so smooth?
Was it because Gu Yuena's relationship with Luo Ye in the previous life was more intimate than hers, causing him to selectively ignore her efforts?
'You just wait, I will make you completely change your attitude towards me someday!'
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Liu Erlong's gaze shifted from the diary in front of her. She looked at Qian Renxue and said earnestly.
"Do you see? Things are developing just as I said before. Even if the three of you were Luo Ye's women in your previous lives, Gu Yuena's position and importance in Luo Ye's heart have already surpassed yours and Zhu Zhuqing's."
"If this continues, you will have no advantage whatsoever. Even the Snow Empress from the Northern Icefield will have an advantage over you."
"After all, Snow Empress is currently the team leader of the Royal Fight Team, allowing her to interact with Luo Ye every day."
"And you, as the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, cannot do such a thing."
Qian Renxue rubbed her temples upon hearing this, feeling her blood surge, causing both sides of her temples to stiffen.
Two consecutive diary entries made Qian Renxue thoroughly realize the reality; she knew that what Liu Erlong said was true.
The current situation was already very unfavorable for her.
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue smiled bitterly and said.
"I already know, and I've also made up my mind to change my previous attitude. I came to you this time because I want you to help me come up with some ideas."
