[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 131

Chapter 131: Twin Sisters

Quan Zi’an suffered a setback and left the stage dejectedly, daring not look at Sect Leader Qing Lan’s face. As the Eldest Senior Sister, Han Yan comforted her gently, “This heroine has extraordinary skills. You made the big mistake of underestimating the enemy today. You must learn a lesson, understand?”

“Yes, Senior Sister Han Yan.” After speaking, Quan Zi’an returned to her martial sisters.

“Master, this person is also from the Xue Clan of Jing Mountain.” Han Yan whispered to Sect Leader Qing Lan.

Sect Leader Qing Lan said faintly, “The Heroine Xue yesterday reported ‘Xue Clan of Jing Mountain,’ while this person reported ‘Jing Mountain.’ This means that Heroine Xue yesterday is a descendant of the noble Xue family, while this person is just a nobody in the Jianghu.” After speaking, she turned her face to stare at the uneasy Han Yan. “Why don’t you answer my question?”

She referred to the question of whether Han Yan “had made up her mind.” Han Yan stammered, and finally, with red eyes, murmured, “Master…”

Sect Leader Qing Lan already understood her answer in her heart and snorted coldly. “I didn’t expect my carefully cultivated beloved disciple to be a fool, coaxed and deceived by others, yet willing to protect her.”

Han Yan bit her lower lip and remained silent. Sect Leader Qing Lan looked at Xue Wuluo on the martial arts competition stage and said softly, “Let’s see if she can survive the sword strike I used with ten percent of my strength. If she survives, Master will let you have your way in the future.”

When facing Han Yan, she sometimes called herself “I” and sometimes “Master.” Using “Master” in the last two sentences meant that as a master, she had already taught her a lesson for her. As for how to walk the path ahead, the disciple had to decide for herself. Whether happy or not, the master would no longer interfere in the future.

How could Han Yan not hear the implication in her words? But she still looked panicked. “Master, disciple wants to stay by your side forever!”

“Naturally, you have to do that,” Sect Leader Qing Lan snorted. “If you betray the sect for a girl, Master will clean up the sect and kill both of you.”

Knowing she wouldn’t try to kill Diwu Miaofu again, Han Yan was overjoyed and extremely grateful. It was a pity that they were under everyone’s eyes now, otherwise she would really kneel down on the spot and kowtow to her mentor several times.

“Just don’t know… if she cares about you.” Sect Leader Qing Lan muttered to herself. Her voice was extremely soft, only audible to Han Yan who was close to her. Han Yan pursed her lips and whispered, “She cares about me.”

Sect Leader Qing Lan didn’t speak, just narrowed her eyes at the temporarily silent martial arts competition stage. Seeing no one coming up to challenge Xue Wuluo, she was somewhat surprised and said, “Yan’er, go up and probe her background. Don’t use your full strength.”

Seeing Han Yan stunned and motionless, she frowned. “Are you worried about your arm injury? Then forget it, wait for other sects to take action.”

While Han Yan hesitated, Saintess Xue Yue suddenly went up to the high ground. Her heart moved, thinking of the gentle female voice she heard last night, and thought: The Saintess definitely wouldn’t expect that Xue Wuluo, whom she is about to compete with, is my older or younger sister.

Xue Mu whispered, “Not good, Xue Wuluo can’t beat that Saintess at all!”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Even so, we can’t interrupt their competition without authorization. As long as Xue Wuluo exchanges a few moves with that Saintess Xue Yue, she will know that fighting her is like an egg hitting a sharp rock, and she definitely won’t persist.”

“Yes, but Xue Wuluo is a rather stubborn person.” Xue Mu sighed. “As long as she can crawl up and still has a breath, she will definitely continue to fight with Saintess Xue Yue.”

” really? I saw she didn’t chase Mu Ruo desperately back then.” Dugu Yuan’an said.

Xue Mu touched her knees and said, “How can her strength compare with Mu Ruo’s? She couldn’t catch up anyway. This competition is different. Under the gaze of everyone, fighting badly… is shameful.”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled. “Is it not shameful to let the beloved escape? If it were me, I would make you stop no matter what, even using the ruse of self-injury—hmph, who would have thought you ran away yourself, and I didn’t even have the chance to use the ruse of self-injury.”

Xue Mu laughed loudly. “My fault, my fault. But in the future, I won’t give you the chance to use the ruse of self-injury, otherwise I’ll die of heartache and anger.”

With that, she turned back to look at the martial arts competition stage, slowly straightening up to look out.

Xue Wuluo reported her name: “Xue Wuluo of Jing Mountain.”

Saintess Xue Yue was silent. After several competitions yesterday, everyone was used to Saintess Xue Yue’s silence. At this moment, seeing both contestants on the field wearing masks, it was truly somewhat laughable.

Xue Wuluo waited patiently for a while. Seeing the opponent didn’t make a sound, she said, “Please report your name, Your Excellency.”

Saintess Xue Yue shook her sleeves gently and bowed, but still didn’t make a sound.

A busybody shouted from below the stage, “The opponent you are facing is the famous Saintess Xue Yue of the Snow Saint Mountain Villa. Young Hero Xue, remember it well! Lest you are defeated without even knowing her name!”

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd around the martial arts competition stage burst into laughter. Xue Mu curled her lip and said using internal energy, “What’s so funny? If she doesn’t want to say it, she doesn’t say it. I think if Young Hero Xue defeats her and uncovers the veil and mask to see the maiden’s beauty with his own eyes, wouldn’t it be more interesting than dryly reporting a name?”

Her voice wasn’t loud, and her tone carried a bit of teasing, but it reached the ears of the crowd near the martial arts competition stage through internal energy. So the laughter grew louder, and someone echoed, “Hey! That’s right! Why don’t the two make a bet? Whoever loses has to take off the mask, letting everyone have a good look at the true face under the mask, how about it!”

Quite a few people agreed loudly. Behind Xue Mu, Dugu Yuan’an said faintly, “Do you really hope to see Saintess Xue Yue’s beauty?”

Xue Mu squatted down and said to her, “I know Xue Wuluo can’t beat her. Just making the atmosphere more relaxed. How can you say I want to see Saintess Xue Yue’s beauty? Even if I see it, so what? If I praise her for being beautiful, wouldn’t you tear my lips off?”

Amused by her, Dugu Yuan’an pretended to be serious, “Tearing ears won’t work. I’ll make you stay in the Dugu Manor for fifty years, never letting you go out—you can’t escape even if you try.”

Xue Mu opened her mouth wide. “Ah? Don’t want to!”

Dugu Yuan’an pushed her face away, looking at the two drawing long swords on the martial arts competition stage, and said, “Watch the martial arts competition first. I’ll argue with you after going back.”

Xue Mu hummed twice, simply sitting cross-legged on the withered grass, mobilizing her internal breath to dissolve the remaining Raging Tide Poison.

Actually, there was very little toxin left in her body. Now circulating internal energy was almost unaffected by the Fire Poison. But to be safe, she wanted to dissolve all the Fire Poison within these two days.
