Chapter 16 Completely bewildered! Grandpa, why did you betray us?
Dugu Yan has completely crashed.
I don't understand, what does "one of us" mean?
Grandpa was defeated and disappeared, and Bone Douluo's investigation also failed to bring him back. The Heaven Dou Empire was placed under full martial law.
No matter how you look at it, he should be an enemy, not a friend, right? Staring at Long Haochen, Dugu Yan became more and more confused.
The terrifyingly imposing figure before me not only spoke incomprehensible words, but also appeared strangely young!
It's like, someone who's the same age as you?
The thought popped into my head, but my mind just couldn't process it.
Seeing this, Long Haochen smiled, too lazy to waste any more time, and his powerful spiritual energy rose up.
It enveloped her body, forming a special restraint, and then flew backwards with her. Seeing the evidence is worse than saying more.
"Don't even think about it, you can't break free with your strength."
Glancing at the restless Dugu Yan, Long Haochen calmly gave a reminder.
"Hmph, who exactly are you! What have you done to my grandfather?!"
Now that things had come to this, Dugu Yan regained her composure and questioned him in a chilling tone.
They've already been caught, and the worst outcome is death. They've come to realize this and changed their mindset.
Long Haochen ignored her and entered the formation on his own, quickly flying back to the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
At this moment, the remaining members of Dawn of Light are still dividing up the work of inscribing array patterns, and the teleportation array has already taken initial shape.
"What the hell is this?!"
Dugu Yan was secretly alarmed and lowered her head to observe.
Near the spring, many herbs had been "damaged".
The barren land is covered with mysterious patterns, forming indescribable designs.
Nearby, several energetic young men and women of similar age were busy with props.
Dugu Yan was even more confused.
The scene was too harmonious, completely different from what I had imagined.
Looking around, she didn't see Dugu Bo. Suddenly, she remembered that he had said not long ago that her grandfather had gone out.
"We're here, this is it."
"Sima Xian, you're the one with the note, aren't you?"
Ignoring Dugu Yan's thoughts, Long Haochen descended from the sky, and the two landed at the spring.
Sima Xian was not far away. Upon hearing this, he immediately understood the meaning and walked over with a look of surprise on his face.
Beside him, the other members of Dawn of Light craned their necks to focus their gazes, scrutinizing the new prisoner with curiosity.
"You mean Senior Dugu's letter? Here, take it. And who's this little girl? Why did you bring her in?"
Sima Xian handed over the note, but Long Haochen didn't raise his hand to take it. Instead, he released Dugu Yan from her restraints and gestured for her to take it and read it herself.
"It really is Grandpa's handwriting! There's no mistake!"
Dugu Yan was stunned, her head full of question marks and disbelief.
To my utter surprise, what the young man in front of me said was true: my grandfather had been captured and turned into a traitor.
He left this letter specifically because he was worried that someone would come knocking on her door and demand that she obey "His Majesty's" orders and obediently cure the snake venom.
Wait a minute! What is all this nonsense?!
Which "Emperor" should we obey? It can't be the Heavenly Dou Empire, right?
What does it mean to cure snake venom? Is it really possible to cure this terrifying toxin that originates from the bloodline of a martial spirit and is comparable to a curse?
After reading the note, Dugu Yan was in a daze. There were not many words but too much information. Her brain was about to overheat. How could this be!
"As I just said, we're actually on the same side."
"Now you should believe me, right? Shall we treat the snake venom?"
After giving him ample time to process the information, Long Haochen finally spoke again.
It was noticeable that Dugu Yan's hostility faded, replaced by embarrassment and bewilderment.
That's understandable. She was determined to enter Sunset Forest to investigate clues, and after being discovered by Long Haochen, she felt she was doomed.
Now I know I was wrong. Grandpa has changed sides. The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is my teammate. What about all my worries these past few days? What about my own stance?
"I want to wait for Grandpa to come back!"
Taking a deep breath, Dugu Yan gritted her teeth.
Out of caution, I declined the invitation for immediate treatment.
Long Haochen was not surprised by this and casually nodded in agreement, but then gathered a surge of spiritual energy.
"I'm sorry, it seems you don't fully believe me yet. To avoid affecting His Majesty's plans, I will temporarily imprison you."
"Don't worry, we won't hurt you. Once Senior Dugu returns from outside and explains things, you'll be free."
Long Haochen is kind-hearted and friendly.
However, after being carefully nurtured by Lin Feng, he developed extremely keen insight.
Unaware of Dugu Yan's ulterior motives, she immediately decided to be on the safe side.
If this girl does something rash and ruins the carefully prepared formation, things will get complicated.
As he spoke, he bound it again.
Somewhat surprisingly, Dugu Yan didn't object at all.
He's barely considered a smart person, and he knows very well that in the current situation, resistance is pointless.
If everything is true, we'll see when Grandpa returns, and I wouldn't mind switching sides.
The only connection she has with the Heavenly Dou Empire is her boyfriend, which is definitely not as important as her grandfather. She can always find someone else later.
Dugu Yan quieted down again and sat silently in the corner. Only then did she have the time and mood to observe and scrutinize Long Haochen and the others.
It's okay if you don't look, the more you look, the more terrified you become.
Long Haochen and his gang are incredibly powerful.
Having spent many years by Dugu Bo's side, he has a fairly deep understanding of the realm and aura of the strong.
Engraving the array patterns requires injecting energy and testing the stability of the nodes. Every time the Dawn of Light team activates its spiritual power, Dugu Yan wipes sweat from her forehead.
Could they be Title Douluos?
At the very least, it's comparable to the Education Commission's Dream Machine.
If age isn't an issue, then he's incredibly strong; no wonder I was powerless to fight back.
Dugu Yan suddenly realized that it was fortunate that she had her grandfather's connection; otherwise, with her meager strength, she might not even have been able to survive until now.
As I was thinking, a buzzing sound appeared.
His thoughts were interrupted, causing him to look over in confusion.
In the open space, a powerful energy suddenly rose up, creating a curtain out of thin air.
Upon seeing this, Long Haochen and the others, who were originally busy, all put down their work and jogged over to him.
Dugu Yan was also drawn by the commotion. Forgetting her identity, she subconsciously leaned out to check and just in time to see the scene flashing.
What came into view was a handsome and dignified figure. Although he was just standing behind the curtain, he made everyone respect him, and their faces showed admiration and excitement.
"How's the large teleportation array doing?"
Lin Feng initiated communication to inquire about the progress.
"Your Majesty, everything is going smoothly, but it will take some time."
"For safety reasons, Senior Chen and his team are on patrol."
"Oh, by the way... I just met Dugu Bo's granddaughter near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
Long Haochen maintained a proper attitude, and even when facing his elders, he still referred to them by their titles while working.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was slightly taken aback, but he didn't pay much attention to it, as it didn't affect his subsequent plans.
"Just let Cai'er treat her when she has some free time."
"Notify Chen Zidian to make as much noise as possible."
"Your father has already entered the City of Slaughter. Now that the outpost here has been exposed, let it continue to act as bait to lure the Heavenly Dou Empire in."
