Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"See, Nana? When Gu Yuena helps Luo Ye, he sees her as a capable helper."
"But if you were to do the same thing, Luo Ye wouldn't even consider it that way."
"Even if Luo Ye comes to Spirit Hall and you try to pursue him, it will be twice the effort for half the result. He only sees you as his Senior Sister, and it will be difficult for him to view you as a lover."
Bibi Dong earnestly advised Hu Liena to abandon such dangerous thoughts and stop trying to develop a romantic relationship with Luo Ye.
It would be better if it succeeded.
But if it failed, the relationship between these Senior Sister and junior brother would become very awkward, and they might not be able to face each other normally.
If such a situation truly arose, it would definitely put her, as their teacher, in a difficult position, not knowing what to do.
Facing Bibi Dong's painstaking persuasion, Hu Liena was completely unmoved and said directly,
"It doesn't matter. I believe in my ability. I can definitely make Luo Ye fall for me."
Hu Liena could accept being rejected by Luo Ye, but she would never allow herself to give up without even trying.
Bibi Dong also understood her disciple's determination and no longer tried to persuade her to change her mind, only sighing helplessly and shaking her head.
"Then good luck."
Although she said that, Bibi Dong felt that if Hu Liena was truly determined to pursue Luo Ye, there was a high possibility of success.
For Luo Ye, who possessed memories of his previous life, the relationship with Hu Liena would definitely be very intimate, and there would be no obstacles in their interactions.
After all, a Senior Sister is not a biological sister, and there are no restrictions on their relationship changing.
The only thing that gave Bibi Dong a headache was that this was equivalent to her biological daughter and her only disciple competing for the same man.
However, Bibi Dong had no solution for this.
Neither Qian Renxue nor Hu Liena could be forced to give up Luo Ye, otherwise, it would definitely lead to their relationship with her becoming estranged.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong pinched her brow, inwardly blaming Luo Ye.
If Luo Ye hadn't been so outstanding, she wouldn't have been bothered by such things.
Luo Ye had actually anticipated Qian Renxue's change in attitude.
It was precisely to create such a situation that he deliberately praised Gu Yuena in his diary, thereby stimulating the competitiveness of others and making them act more urgently.
But as for Hu Liena's idea of transitioning from Senior Sister and junior brother to lovers, Luo Ye had not thought of it at all.
One can only say that she is indeed Hu Liena; even before seeing Luo Ye with her own eyes, her infatuation and love-struck attributes had already been triggered.
At this moment, Luo Ye had already been led by Du Guyan to Dugu Bo.
After listening to Du Guyan's description, Dugu Bo's gaze swept back and forth over Luo Ye, and he finally couldn't help but ask,
"Do you really still have that Essence Gold of Life?"
Dugu Bo had just tried to absorb the life aura emanating from Du Guyan's piece of Essence Gold of Life.
He could clearly feel that some of the toxins in his body had been dispelled by this life aura.
However, Dugu Bo dared not absorb too much, instead wanting to leave this piece of Essence Gold of Life for Du Guyan, first removing all the toxins from his granddaughter's body.
What he didn't expect was that Du Guyan actually said that Luo Ye had more of such a treasure.
Dugu Bo had been plagued by Blue Phosphorus Serpent Venom for many years, and each time it flared up, it was extremely painful. Now that he finally saw hope of removing the toxins, he naturally couldn't sit still.
Facing Dugu Bo's inquiry, Luo Ye did not keep him in suspense and nodded directly.
"That's right, I do have another piece of Essence Gold of Life of similar size. However, I hope Poison Douluo will understand that I cannot give this second piece of Essence Gold of Life for free."
Hearing Luo Ye personally admit that he still had Essence Gold of Life, Dugu Bo could no longer hide his inner excitement.
For him, as long as he could remove the Blue Phosphorus Serpent Venom from himself and Du Guyan, any price was acceptable.
Of course, with Dugu Bo's personality and way of doing things, the thought of killing and plundering treasures had not been absent from his mind.
But he had heard Du Guyan talk about Luo Ye before, knowing how terrifyingly talented this young man in front of him was, and that he had also gained the attention of Heaven Dou Crown Prince 'Xue Qinghe' and Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
If he really resorted to killing and plundering, it would definitely be more loss than gain.
It would be better to make a deal with the other party. Even if a certain price had to be paid, at least there would be no hidden dangers.
Thinking of this, Dugu Bo looked at Luo Ye and laughed heartily.
"Don't worry, this old man is not some greenhorn who just started. Of course, I understand the principle of equivalent exchange."
"Let alone this second piece of Essence Gold of Life, even the one in Du Guyan's hand, I won't let you give it away for nothing."
"However, this old man doesn't really have any treasures of equal value to the Essence Gold of Life right now. How about this old man owes you a favor, and in the future, whenever you need this old man, you can just speak up."
"Don't have any reservations. These two pieces of Essence Gold of Life are equivalent to life-saving grace for me and Du Guyan. You can ask me to do anything."
Although it sounded like light words without any sincerity, in Dugu Bo's opinion, this was the most he could offer.
He had made up his mind that no matter whether Luo Ye asked him to kill someone, or help him hunt for a spirit ring, or anything else, he would never refuse.
Luo Ye could also feel Dugu Bo's sincerity. He thought for a moment and then nodded.
"I believe Poison Douluo will not go back on his word. I agree to this transaction."
Saying that, Luo Ye took out the second piece of Essence Gold of Life and handed it to Dugu Bo.
Feeling the life force emanating from the Essence Gold of Life, Dugu Bo's face lit up, and he carefully took it.
Although he was eager to use the Essence Gold of Life to remove the toxins from his body, after actually getting it, Dugu Bo didn't rush to do so. Instead, he looked at Luo Ye and guaranteed again that he would be his protector from now on, and would never allow anyone to trouble him.
Seeing this, Luo Ye no longer hid his purpose and looked at Dugu Bo, speaking.
"Poison Douluo, if I'm not mistaken, you should have your own medicinal garden for cultivating herbs, right?"
"If possible, would you allow me to visit your medicinal garden to see if there are any medicinal herbs I need at the moment?"
