Dugu Yan was initially confused about what was going on with her grandfather. But after hearing his words, her face instantly turned red.

She couldn't help but think back to that night—and to the red-haired boy.

"Yanyan, what's wrong?" Dugu Bo asked, looking at his granddaughter suspiciously.

Dugu Yan felt a little embarrassed but finally mustered the courage to speak, her tone shy and hesitant.

"Grandpa… how did you know?"

She thought her grandfather had figured everything out.

Just thinking about it made her face burn with embarrassment. Her cheeks grew even redder, and even her ears turned crimson.

Seeing his granddaughter's flustered expression, Dugu Bo was completely stunned.

What? What do I know?

Countless questions flooded his mind.

When her grandfather didn't say anything, Dugu Yan assumed he was pretending not to know to save face for her, so she didn't continue that subject.

"Grandpa… I actually came here because I have something to tell you."

Dugu Yan tugged at the hem of her clothes, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face.

Grandpa would eventually find out about her and Yu Tianheng. She didn't want him to hear it from anyone else.

"Oh? Go ahead," Dugu Bo replied, not fully understanding yet but agreeing subconsciously.

"Yu Tianheng and I… have broken up."

"Grandpa, I realized that we're not right for each other. I've found someone who's really willing to be with me… for life."

"That person wasn't afraid of the poison in my body at all. He even dared to drink wine I had already drunk."

The girl spoke honestly from her heart.

Dugu Bo's expression immediately darkened.

Yu Tianheng, a member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, was a good match for his granddaughter in terms of background and status. If she married him, her life would be stable.

But now she's telling me she's chosen some random kid?

"How can this be? No matter what, Yu Tianheng is still an excellent choice," Dugu Bo said, frowning.

He didn't want to see his granddaughter deceived by some untrustworthy brat.

He was about to give her some serious advice when suddenly—

Dugu Bo's expression shifted. He noticed something shocking.

No… could it be… she's no longer…

"You…"

His expression twisted in rage. "Which little bastard took advantage of you? Tell Grandpa—I'll kill him!"

"This punk has to be a heartless scoundrel. Definitely not a decent person!"

His face turned ferocious with fury.

Who dares touch my granddaughter?!

If he found out, he swore to poison that kid's entire family into extinction.

Dugu Bo's hands trembled with anger.

My precious granddaughter… deceived and defiled by some good-for-nothing…

And now this bastard even had the audacity to make her give up the grandson-in-law Dugu Bo had carefully chosen?

Unbearable. Absolutely unacceptable!

The green-haired old man's eyes glinted with murderous light, his expression cold and ruthless.

If that brat were here right now, I'd strangle him with my own hands!

"Grandpa… please… don't be like this…"

Seeing Dugu Bo on the verge of exploding, Dugu Yan quickly turned her face away, feeling aggrieved.

She hadn't expected her grandfather to get this angry.

"Stop defending him! Just tell me—who is that bastard?!"

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Brother Hongjun isn't like that! He understands me… better than anyone ever has…" Dugu Yan hugged her grandfather's arm tightly, desperately begging.

She couldn't let her grandfather go looking for Brother Hongjun.

If he found him, he'd definitely kill him.

"What Hongjun? Whether it's Zhang Hongjun or Ma Hongjun—they're both scumbags!" Dugu Bo cursed furiously.

But then, as soon as he heard that familiar name, his entire body froze.

He lowered his head slightly.

"Yanyan… what's the name of the person you're talking about?" he asked, his voice suddenly cautious.

Wait… I happen to know a little monster named Ma Hongjun… Could it possibly be him?

Seeing that her grandfather finally calmed down, Dugu Yan quickly wiped the tears from her face.

"Grandpa… please… don't hurt Brother Hongjun. I'm begging you."

"Alright, alright… Just tell me his name first," Dugu Bo sighed, his tone softening. He reached out and wiped the tears from his granddaughter's cheeks.

"Ma… Ma Hongjun…" Dugu Yan whispered, her voice trembling.

She knew Grandpa would eventually find out anyway. Better to be honest now.

"Ma Hongjun?!"

Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock. Could it really be… him?!

Swallowing nervously, he asked cautiously,

"The Ma Hongjun you're talking about… does he have red hair… and is fairly handsome?"

"Also… is his teacher one of the Golden Iron Triangle?"

When she heard her grandfather's description, Dugu Yan was stunned.

Grandpa… knows Brother Hongjun?!

"Grandpa… you've met Brother Hongjun? Yes… he has red hair… um… and… he's… kind of handsome…" she muttered, blushing as she said the last part.

"As for who his master is… I don't really know."

When it came to his master, Dugu Yan shook her head.

"Then… the changes in your body lately… were they also because of that kid?"

Dugu Bo continued to ask.

The girl hesitated for a moment but then nodded firmly, suppressing her shyness.

Even she felt it was strange.

Ever since that night with Brother Hongjun, her physical condition had improved dramatically.

The sharp, stinging pain she used to feel during rainy days had never returned.

Not only that, but her soul power had also grown significantly.

Thinking about the changes she'd experienced recently… perhaps they really were connected to Brother Hongjun.

"Grandpa… it really has nothing to do with him."

"It was my fault… He was only trying to comfort me…"

Dugu Yan held onto her grandfather's arm, looking at him with pleading eyes.

She knew his temper too well.

If Grandpa didn't approve of someone, he wouldn't hesitate to kill them.

She still wasn't sure how her grandfather knew Brother Hongjun.

But now that his name had come out, she couldn't let Grandpa harbor any murderous thoughts toward him.

After hearing her words, Dugu Bo suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Alright, alright… I didn't expect this at all!"

"The boy that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has been chasing… my granddaughter got him first!"

At that moment, Dugu Bo only felt overwhelming satisfaction.

The little princess from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was still chasing after him.

Meanwhile, his own granddaughter had already succeeded.

Compared to this… what's Yu Tianheng worth?

Thinking about Ma Hongjun, Dugu Bo laughed again.

If I'd known earlier that it was him, I would've been secretly delighted. Why would I have been angry?

Not to mention, with the backing that boy had, even the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't dare offend him.

Just look at the girl following him.

As long as that girl existed, Ma Hongjun was someone no one could afford to provoke.

"Grandpa… you're not angry anymore?"

Dugu Yan tilted her head cautiously.

"Angry? Why would I be angry?"

"I'm too happy to be angry!"

"If it's this kid… Grandpa will fully support it!"

"Yu Tianheng may not be bad… but compared to that kid, he's miles behind."

Dugu Bo looked proud, his eyes shining with satisfaction.
