READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 54: Chapter 54
At the gate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Clan, the guards spotted two figures approaching from a distance. While they didn't recognize Dugu Bo, they immediately recognized Jun Tianlin and hurried over to greet him.
"young Master Tianlin, welcome back!"
Tianlin nodded with a smile "It's been a while. Are Uncle Ning and my master here?"
"Yes, Sect Master Ning and the three elders are in the main hall. Young master, may I ask who this is?" The guard asked, inquiring about Dugu Bo's identity as part of his duties. Whenever an outsider wished to enter, the guards needed to know who they were.
Tianlin answered "Let me introduce you. This is Senior Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who will be our fourth elder in the future."
The guards were shocked.
"Greetings, His Majesty the Poison doulou!" they exclaimed. They knew to show respect to Titled Douluo, as Ning Fengzhi had taught them the proper etiquette for such figures.
The more astute guards rushed into the clan to inform the leaders of the visit. After all, a Titled Douluo visiting was a significant event and Jun Tianlin had mentioned that Dugu Bo was joining their clan, which only added to the importance of the moment.
"Hmm" Dugu Bo nodded curtly at the guards. He wasn't one for showing warmth to just anyone.and his demeanor remained as proud and detached as ever, except when dealing with Tianlin.
As Tianlin led Dugu Bo into the clan, he couldn't help but admire the grandeur of the Seven Treasures Glazed clan. It was as prosperous as any royal palace.
"So, what do you think, old monster?" Jun Tianlin asked with a grin.
Dugu Bo nodded impressed. "It's not bad here. But tell me, little monster, will I really be left alone as a guest elder with nothing to do?"
Tianlin chuckled"Of course, Xiao tian arranged that for you."
At that moment, a warm voice called out "xiao tian!" It was Ning Fengzhi, who had heard that Tianlin had returned and came out to greet him in person. Behind him were two sect protectors and Elder Yin Yang.
Before Tianlin could respond, a small girl in a green dress ran over and jumped into his arms.
"Rongrong! Long time no see" Jun Tianlin said with a smile ruffling Ning Rongrong's hair "You've grown taller and more beautiful."
"Brother Jian, I missed you so much! Will you stay this time? You've been coming and going so often" Ning Rongrong said with a hopeful look She had missed Tianlin terribly.
Tianlin smiled and reassured her "I won't leave for a while. I'll mostly be back at Tiandou Royal Academy to study, but you can come visit me anytime."
Ning Rongrong's face lit up with joy "That's wonderful!"
Ning Fengzhi then turned to Dugu Bo with a respectful bow"Senior Dugu, I'm Ning Fengzhi, the clan head of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile clan. Xiaotian is the future Protector Douluo of our clan. I respect the promises he made to you, and I would be honored if you'd join our clan."
Ning Fengzhi didn't put on airs despite being the leader of such a powerful clan. After all, a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo was a prize any clan would desire. With Dugu Bo's talents and reputation as the Poison doulou, he would be a massive asset.
Dugu Bo however, was straightforward. "Master Ning, I appreciate your words. Xiaotian promised me that the clan would take care of my needs but more importantly I want to have some influence over matters. Also, my granddaughter and the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant dragon clan are in love. It would be great if we could organize a marriage between the two clan and prepare the dowry accordingly."
Ning Fengzhi didn't hesitate He agreed instantly, knowing that such a union would only strengthen both clans.
"Of course, we'll take care of everything" Ning Fengzhi said "As for the dowry, we have more than enough to offer."
Dugu Bo satisfied with the arrangement, continued "Good, then I will officially join your clan, but not just for me—it's also for this little monster" His words held no pretense and everyone understood that Dugu Bo's decision was made with Tianlin's influence.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't hide his joy 'Clan of two Douluos becoming three Douluos—this will undoubtedly elevate our sect's standing.'
He was about to organize a grand welcome ceremony but Dugu Bo waved it off "Not yet. I have something I need to take care of first, and I'd prefer to officially join after that's done."
At that moment, Bone Douluo stepped forward and said "Wait, Old Poison, let's have a drink when you return. We'll be brothers in the same clan from now on."
"Agreed Old Bones" Dugu Bo responded "Get some good wine ready for me when I return"
With that Dugu Bo disappeared in a flash. Everyone knew where he was headed—he was going to settle his long-standing feud with chrysanthemum Douluo. This was his final chance to confront him without the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan being drawn into the conflict.
"Go on, old monster! Show him who's boss!" Tianlin called out with a grin watching Dugu Bo leave. He knew with Dugu Bo's improved strength and the Snow Swan Kiss, he would easily defeat chrysanthemum Douluo.
"You really managed to persuade Dugu Bo?" Ning Fengzhi asked with curiosity "He's always been so stubborn. The Spirit Hall has tried to recruit him countless times, but failed."
Tianlin nodded "I gave him a immortal herb. The Snow Swan Kiss and it helped him immensely, and it turned our relationship into one of close friendship."
Jun Tianlin explained, with some minor alterations, how he discovered the Snow Swan Kiss and its effects. He also told them how Dugu Bo had promised to join the clan after receiving the herb.
Ning Fengzhi, after hearing this, wasn't surprised. He knew that if the Snow Swan Kiss was as powerful as Tianlin described, Dugu Bo would undoubtedly be interested. It was no wonder that Dugu Bo, who was known for his credibility and strength, would be swayed by it.
"Xiaotian, bringing in a Titled Douluo is an incredible achievement. Come, let Uncle Ning reward you properly!" Ning Fengzhi declared his mood as cheerful as ever. He believed that this was an important milestone for his clan, and as the clan head, he knew how important it was to reward loyalty and accomplishment.
