[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 135

Chapter 135: Battle of the Orphans

With Old Madam Yan’s question, the crowd that had been holding their breath and listening intently exploded, looking incredulously at the silent Saintess Xue Yue.

“Could it be that the person on stage is not Saintess Xue Yue at all??? How is this possible!”

“She has been wearing a mask, and the veil covers her head and neck. How can we distinguish?”

“Could it be that this person pretending to be Saintess Xue Yue is also a descendant of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain? How did she suddenly run to the Snow Saint Mountain Villa?”

“Could it be that the Snow Saint Mountain Villa knew long ago that the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain had surviving descendants?!”

Listening to people’s discussions, Xue Mu’s eyes moved, looking at that “Saintess Xue Yue.” After a long silence, she took off the bamboo hat and threw it casually aside. The ghost mask on her face was also slowly taken off—

“A-Ruo…” Xue Mu murmured.

Mu Ruo’s face was pale, her cheeks slightly sunken, and her whole person was much thinner. Her eyes were dark and deep, looking at Dugu Yuan’an faintly. Old Madam Yan was shocked. “You… are you Yu Gongruo?”

Mu Ruo shifted her gaze to Old Madam Yan, bowed slowly, and said in a gentle and clear voice, “Yu Gongruo, the direct heir of the thirty-second ‘Bright Light Generation’ of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain, greets Old Madam Yan.”

Mo Shen, Qing Lan, Qi Qing, and others looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: If the ‘Hidden Darkness Generation’ is the identity of descendants living in seclusion, then the ‘Bright Light Generation’ is the identity of descendants widely known in the Jianghu. Encountering such a tragedy as extermination, the heir of the ‘Hidden Darkness Generation’ is actually luckier. However, it is unexpected that an heir of the ‘Bright Light Generation’ also survived by luck.

With Mu Ruo’s appearance, even the many disciples of the Snow Saint Mountain Villa were greatly surprised. They never expected that the Saintess who showed off her skills on Huangding Mountain these two days was actually a fake!

“Hey! Where is the real Saintess Xue Yue?” A male disciple shouted. The others looked at Villa Master Xue Qun’s face. Seeing his calm expression, they assumed he had known about this long ago, and even helped this Yu Clan orphan disguise as the Saintess to attend the Discourse on the Dao Conference. Don’t know what he was thinking. You must know that at the last Discourse on the Dao Conference, Guardian Xue De lost to Yu Hancheng of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain, and then Villa Master Xue Qun lost to the elders of their clan…

Mu Ruo said, “She stayed in the Snow Saint Mountain Villa with your Guardian Xue De.”

“Why did Sister Ruo hide your true face and attend this Discourse on the Dao Conference as Saintess Xue Yue?” Dugu Yuan’an stood with her hands behind her back, smiling slightly at Mu Ruo. “Sister Ruo left us for more than two months. It turns out you went to the Snow Saint Mountain Villa in the Tibetan region.”

Mu Ruo said, “Correct.”

Dugu Yuan’an asked, “Did Sister Ruo find any useful information while investigating clues all the way?”

Mu Ruo said, “Information? Naturally.”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Please tell Sister.”

Mu Ruo smiled slightly and said, “Do you really want to know, Yu Yuan? I’m just afraid you have no intention of avenging the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain at all!” Towards the end, her gaze suddenly turned cold, and her tone became extremely sharp. Thousands of people outside the martial arts competition stage heard this sentence. The originally buzzing crowd instantly fell silent, staring blankly at the people on the high ground.

The appearance of the surviving orphan of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain had already moved the Sect Leaders. Hearing Mu Ruo speak like this, they were all stunned: Does this orthodox heir of the “Bright Light Generation” think the heir of the “Hidden Darkness Generation” has other intentions?

“—When the Jin Mountain extermination case happened, Yu Yuan was still on Jin Mountain. I escaped by luck, but the meridians in my legs were destroyed. Only recently did I recover the ability to walk.” Dugu Yuan’an didn’t panic at all because of Mu Ruo’s words. In fact, why should she panic? She said calmly, “For fifteen years, Yu Yuan has never forgotten the enmity of extermination!”

Mu Ruo sneered lightly and smiled. “Really? But you married the disciple of the enemy. What is your crime?”

A trace of coldness suddenly flashed across Dugu Yuan’an’s originally calm face. She forcefully resisted clenching her fingers, ignoring the exclamations in the crowd and the extremely soft “Ah” sounds from the Sect Leaders. Xue Mu was about to circulate her energy to leap onto the high platform, but her shoulders were pressed down by two different hands!

She turned her head abruptly and saw Dugu Fengxing and Dugu Yunuo looking ugly. Dugu Yunuo’s eyes were spewing fire, staring fiercely at Mu Ruo on the stage who had a judgmental look. Zi’ang ground her teeth loudly, looking like she was about to faint from anger!

Xue Duanhun’s identity was exposed because she willingly committed suicide to atone for her sins. Before the day Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an got married, even Mu Ruo herself couldn’t guess that Xue Duanhun was related to the enmity of extermination. Now she reversed black and white, confusing the order, actually pinning the hat of “betraying the clan and forgetting hatred” on Dugu Yuan’an!

Xue Mu was also trembling with anger. Even if Mu Ruo recognized Xue Duanhun, it was because of that “Absolute Killing Palm.” How could she say such things? Making everyone think Yuan’er knew Xue Duanhun was the enemy first and married the enemy’s disciple later. Wouldn’t that make her a target of public criticism??!

“People in the Jianghu all know, how can a deep blood feud be easily resolved? You keep saying you want to avenge Jin Mountain, yet you indulge in the embrace of the enemy’s disciple. Don’t you know that such a choice is actually betrayal? If you truly want to avenge this enmity, how could you let reason get lost in affection?”

Mu Ruo spoke loudly, her tone becoming increasingly cold and mocking, piercing straight into Dugu Yuan’an’s heart like a cold blade. Even the Sect Leaders held their breath and concentrated. They knew they couldn’t convict one person based on the words of another, so they could only listen to the cause and effect before making a judgment.

Mu Ruo continued, “Isn’t being intimate with the enemy a blasphemy against the ancestors of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain? If you allow personal feelings to disturb your will, have you ever thought about how you will face the ancestral tablets and account to the heroic spirits of the past in the future?!” Her voice was still soft and gentle, but every word exploded in everyone’s ears like thunder, shaking people’s hearts!

Mu Ruo looked straight at Dugu Yuan’an with the posture of a judge, her eyes chillingly cold. Every sentence was piercing, every word punishing the heart, allowing no rebuttal from Dugu Yuan’an: “Yu Yuan, do you have anything else to explain?”

Among the Grandmaster experts, Sect Leader Qi Qing’s expression darkened imperceptibly. But if she spoke for Dugu Yuan’an at this time, she would be questioned by the heir of the “Bright Light Generation” of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain about Xue Duanhun. With just a few words, this girl not only branded Dugu Yuan’an as a traitor but also ruined Xue Mu’s reputation. Although the Blue Wind Mountain Sect had expelled Xue Duanhun from the sect, but…

Just as Sect Leader Qi Qing was thinking anxiously, Dugu Yuan’an spoke faintly.

“Correct, I did marry the disciple of the enemy—”

“Yuan’er!!!” Ignoring the strong pressure from Fengxing and Yunuo, Xue Mu’s internal force suddenly burst from her shoulders, actually knocking them back a step. She leaped onto the high ground, reaching out to block in front of Dugu Yuan’an. “A-Ruo, regarding the marriage, you clearly knew that we didn’t know my master was—”

“Your master?” Sect Leader Mo Shen interrupted her. “Young Hero Xue, who exactly is your master?”

After a moment of silence, Sect Leader Qi Qing said, “It was Xue Duanhun, disciple of the late Sect Leader Guan Xu, and also this seat’s former Senior Sister.”
