Chapter 441: You can’t trust our character?
"Three members of the Education Committee, please help me. I am really desperate, so I can only ask you to take action. Grandpa is a guest of the empire after all!"
"If something happens, it will also harm the interests of the empire!"
Dugu Yan's anxious voice trembled a little.
Meng Shenji said gently: "Xiaoyan, don't be anxious first. Let's talk carefully and start from the beginning! Where is your grandfather now? What enemies did he encounter?"
"I...I don't know where grandpa is!" Dugu Yan said frustratedly.
"what?"
The three education committee members looked at each other again.
"You mean, your grandfather wasn't injured or ambushed, but... he just doesn't know where he is?"
Meng Shenji and the three men have different thoughts, but they all have one idea.
That is to say, I am afraid that girl Duguyan is making a fuss out of a molehill.
Isn't it normal that Dugu Bo, an old poisoner, always disappears from his society and cannot be found?
It seemed that he understood what the three of them were thinking.
Dugu Yan said in a trembling voice: "Grandpa, although he used to go out alone to collect medicine or refine some poisons, or even go into seclusion in secret, no matter where he went, he always told me in advance!"
"You will also agree with me on when to come back. Although sometimes it will be delayed for a while, it will never exceed a month!"
"And this time, grandpa didn't tell me in advance before disappearing, which means he had no plans to travel far!"
"But now it has been almost a year since grandpa disappeared, and there is no news, not even a letter!"
"So, something must have happened to grandpa, otherwise he wouldn't have no news at all!"
Listening to Dugu Yan's story, Meng Shenji frowned slightly.
What Dugu Yan said are all specious and have no substantive evidence.
But as Dugu Yan said, Dugu Bo is a guest of the empire after all, and his safety cannot be compromised.
What's more, Yu Xiaogang had said before that the mysterious Ghost Douluo from Wuhun Palace accidentally got involved in the affairs of Shrek Monster Academy.
Although I don’t understand what the other party’s purpose is.
But it can be seen that Wuhun Palace, which has been silent for some time, is beginning to make a move.
So could Dugu Bo’s incident be related to Wuhun Palace?
Meng Shenji's expression became a little more serious when he thought of this.
He looked at Dugu Yan and said in a deep voice: "Niece Dugu, since you have sincerely come to me for help, I hope you will not hide anything from us. No matter what I ask next, you must answer truthfully. This is about Your grandfather's safety is in danger! Do you understand?"
Dugu Yan nodded!
"Don't worry, Chief Sir, no matter what you ask, as long as you can save my grandfather!"
Meng Shenji nodded.
"Tell me first, when did your grandfather mysteriously disappear? Why were you not in a hurry and didn't mention it to anyone during the time when he disappeared? What on earth was he doing during this trip?"
Meng Shenji's first question was very precise, and Dugu Yan's heart couldn't help but beat.
What is grandpa going to do?
She actually had some suspicions in her mind.
This is what Meng Shenji asked, why wasn't Dugu Yan in a hurry at the beginning?
That means Dugu Yan knows that Dugu Bo is not in danger.
This, however, involves Grandpa's secret and the shortcomings of their Jade Scaled Snake Spirit.
Dugu Yan didn't know whether he should reveal it or not.
Seeing Dugu Yan hesitate, Meng Shenji's face didn't look good.
"Niece Dugu, although your grandfather and I didn't have a very deep friendship in the past, we are all part of the empire. What's so unexplainable about this?"
"Whether it is related to your grandfather's personal reputation or some secrets of your Dugu family, the three of us promise that they will never be leaked. Don't you still believe in the character of the three of us?"
"No, no, no! No!" Dugu Yan shook his head quickly, fearing that the other party would misunderstand.
At this time, she glanced at Yu Xiaogang hesitantly.
Meng Shenji and the other three are high-ranking officials of Tiandou Royal Academy and can indeed be trusted.
But Yu Xiaogang is not among them.
What's more, Yu Xiaogang's character is really hard to say!
After all, Dugu Yan also witnessed with his own eyes how useless Yu Xiaogang was when facing Kai Yin!
Yu Xiaogang frowned when he saw that Dugu Yan actually turned his gaze towards him.
He said dissatisfiedly: "Huh, my master's reputation is all over the world, who doesn't know it? Don't worry, no matter what secrets are involved, I will definitely keep it secret!"
Dugu Yan then said in a deep voice: "Actually, grandpa has been suffering from a stubborn disease. This is caused by the Jade Phosphorus Snake Spirit of our Dugu family. Grandpa has accumulated too many toxins in his body over the years, so every once in a while his poison will The injury will strike!”
"For safety! Grandpa will go to his retreat in the Sunset Forest to retreat and heal!"
"Of course! Usually grandpa will come back after only a day or two when he goes out!"
"Grandpa has been doing this kind of healing for I don't know how many years. I have long been accustomed to it. It's just that there are many rare herbs planted in his retreat!"
"So sometimes grandpa will stay there for a while, either to pick herbs or to refine medicine!"
Meng Shenji and the others suddenly nodded in enlightenment.
"I see!"
No wonder Dugu Yan didn't say anything at first, but was sure that Dugu Bo would be fine.
"Niece Dugu, do you know where your grandfather's retreat is in the Sunset Forest?"
"This...I probably know something about it. When I was young, my grandfather took me there once and told me some of its secrets!"
Meng Shenji was curious.
"In that case, why don't you go and check it out?"
"The place where grandpa retreats is very special. There is a natural poisonous array there. Coupled with grandpa's deliberate arrangement, ordinary soul masters will be poisoned and die immediately if they enter there! Soul masters below level 70 cannot break through those poisonous arrays at all. It is naturally impossible for me to enter there with my strength!”
"That's it!" Only then did a few people figure out the whole story.
From this point of view, it is very likely that Dugu Bo is still in his retreat.
Even if he is not there, there must be some clues about Dugu Bo there.
The next thing to do is very simple. Just go to the retreat for the three of you.
Yu Xiaogang asked curiously: "In that case, why don't you just find a level 70 or above soul master to check there? If you just check the news about your grandfather, even if he lives in seclusion there, it won't hurt him. The other party!"
That's right, it's that simple.
Why did Dugu have to come here in such a big way to find the three education committee members to take action?
He even looked like he was crying.
"Niece Dugu! Is there any other information you haven't told us?"
