[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 98

Chapter 98: Resembling an Old Friend

Seeing Xue Mu’s expression was off, Dugu Yuan’an also looked in that direction. The woman had turned her head back, so she didn’t see her appearance at all. She asked, “Mu’er, what’s wrong?”

Xue Mu blinked, came back to her senses, scratched her cheek in confusion, and muttered, “That’s not right.”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “What’s not right?”

Xue Mu’s voice was very, very soft. Fortunately, Dugu Yuan’an had profound internal energy and could hear what she was saying.

“Such a familiar person, I seem to have seen her somewhere…” Xue Mu seemed to be trying hard to recall something, then suddenly cried out softly, “Ah! I know!”

Dugu Yuan’an asked patiently, “What do you know?”

“What do you know?” Dugu Yuan’an remained calm, but leaned forward slightly, a questioning look in her eyes.

Xue Mu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, her gaze very complex. “That woman’s profile… looks like Xue Wuluo.”

“Xue Wuluo?” Dugu Yuan’an frowned, her doubts increasing sharply.

Xue Mu’s eyes revealed strangeness, only whispering, “The half of Xue Wuluo’s face that wasn’t burned looks very much like her.”

The figure slowly walking out of blood and fire appeared in Xue Mu’s mind again. She frowned and thought, shocked and uncertain, wanting to see that woman’s appearance again. After pondering for a moment, she decided to stay put and wait for the disciples of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect to finish their tea and meal and leave before scrutinizing her carefully.

The two ate quietly. They heard the disciples of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect start discussing changes in other sects again. Among them, the Blue Wind Mountain Sect was mentioned. One female disciple said something about “Evil Claw Kung Fu,” and two other martial sisters also echoed, saying that the claw technique of the Blue Wind Mountain Sect was very evil, and one could lose their life with the slightest carelessness. They also said that the Blue Wind Mountain Sect currently had no disciples who could shoulder the heavy responsibility. Xue Mu frowned, holding a piece of chicken with her chopsticks, unable to put it in her mouth for a long time.

Then she heard the eldest disciple of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect say, “Junior Sister, no matter what sect it is, it cannot be underestimated. How do you know that the Blue Wind Mountain Sect has no hidden experts?”

This woman who closely resembled Xue Wuluo had a clever mind and quick wit. Xue Mu somewhat wanted to befriend this person, so she smiled and said, “Yuan’er, it seems I can’t recognize any sworn sister this time.” Maybe the eldest disciple of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect doesn’t even look up to me, let alone making friends.

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Whoever looks down on my wife, I will cripple her kung fu.”

Xue Mu clapped her hands gently and praised her, “Yuan’er is so amazing. Then I can only listen to you obediently.”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled gently, reaching out to pinch Xue Mu’s cheek. Xue Mu immediately tried to dodge, but how could she dodge Dugu Yuan’an’s fingers? Her cheek was naturally pinched. She said dissatisfiedly, “If you have the ability, don’t catch me.”

“Then you also have to have the ability not to be caught by me,” Dugu Yuan’an said with a beaming smile.

Although Xue Mu said this, she liked it very much in her heart. But facing Yuan’er, she lost nine out of ten arguments. How could she show her inner thoughts? Raising her eyebrows, she said proudly, “Just you wait! Sooner or later, I will catch you, and then bully you fiercely and punish you!”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled without speaking, just serving her food.

Xue Mu glanced at the disciples of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect and found someone looking at them with a seemingly strange expression. Seeing Xue Mu’s gaze sweep over, they immediately withdrew their gaze, looked at each other, and revealed ambiguous snickers.

“Mu’er, it seems we are also being eavesdropped on,” Dugu Yuan’an’s voice revealed a smile.

Xue Mu didn’t care about other people’s gazes, but if they bullied Yuan’er, she would definitely not agree. She said nonchalantly, “So what? We can also eavesdrop on others. Everyone has internal energy; who can look down on whom?”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled and went along with her. “Yes.”

Xue Mu heard a very light scoff from the next table. Leaning back on the wooden chair, she tilted her head to look at those girls. At the same time, the woman addressed as “Eldest Senior Sister” also turned her head, her full face appearing in Xue Mu’s field of vision.

The woman had a straight nose bridge, sword-like eyebrows, sharp yet delicate. Her eyes were pitch-black and bright, the corners slightly upturned, revealing a decisiveness and coldness unique to Jianghu swordsmen. The sunlight from the window made her skin look pale and cold. Coldness and heroism intertwined, without a trace of softness. The corners of her lips pressed down slightly as she looked Xue Mu up and down, nodding slightly.

Xue Wuluo’s half face had long been burned, while this woman… her face was perfect and flawless.

Since they had looked at each other directly, Xue Mu naturally didn’t intend to remain silent. She clasped her fists and said, “I am Xue Mu, and my wife is Dugu Yuan’an. Having heard of the great name of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect in the past, it is truly a great fortune to meet you all today by chance.”

Her tone was modest and measured, very different from the nonchalant tone just now.

The woman smiled slightly, her gaze sweeping between the two. She bowed politely, her voice as soft and clear as the sound of a zither: “I am Han Yan, a disciple of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect. These are my Junior Sisters.”

“So it’s the eldest disciple of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect. I have long heard that Maiden Han Yan excels in both swordplay and zither arts. There are many rumors in the Jianghu. Seeing you today, your demeanor is indeed extraordinary,” Xue Mu smiled.

“Maiden Xue praises me too much. Han Yan was just lucky to be raised and taught by the Sect Leader, barely counting as a disciple of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect,” Han Yan said faintly. Her Junior Sisters looked at Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an curiously. Just as Xue Mu was about to say some more complimentary words, she accidentally glimpsed an acquaintance coming down from upstairs.

“Sister Miaofu?”

Diwu Miaofu saw Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an when she went downstairs. Logically speaking, she should have looked surprised and shouted “Sister Xue” and “Sister-in-law Yuan.” But she didn’t do so. Instead, she winked at Xue Mu, planning to slip away from the back door of the teahouse.

The disciples of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect followed the sound and looked over. The change happened in an instant—

Han Yan’s figure suddenly flashed before everyone’s eyes. The guqin behind her flew into her arms. Her slender jade fingers plucked and flicked the strings. The zither sound carried powerful internal force towards the direction where Diwu Miaofu was escaping. The sound wave made everyone’s ears hurt, and they covered them with their hands one after another!

With two “bangs,” Diwu Miaofu grabbed a teapot from a waiter’s tray and threw it backhand. It was shattered by Han Yan’s zither sound. She laughed loudly and said, “Beautiful Sister, you pay for this bill!”

Han Yan’s face was covered with a layer of thin frost. She said coldly, “Take another step, and I will cut off your legs.”

Seeing the beauty angry, the other tea guests in the teahouse dared not make a sound. Some even watched for the drama, cracking melon seeds and looking at the little girl in tattered cloth strips with a teasing look.

Diwu Miaofu’s eyes darted around. Suddenly she giggled, “Haven’t seen you for so long, you really are chillingly cold. Before, you weren’t—”

Before she finished speaking, Han Yan’s eyes turned cold, and she attacked again!
