[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 136

Chapter 136: Aggressive and Overbearing

Hearing Sect Leader Qi Qing’s words, Mo Shen, Qing Lan, Old Madam Yan, and others were very surprised. Those disciples of renowned orthodox sects had heard about Xue Duanhun leaving the Blue Wind Mountain Sect back then. They only thought that person wanted to roam the Jianghu alone and didn’t want to be restrained by the sect. Later, because Xue Duanhun’s name was no longer heard in the Jianghu, they gradually forgot about this person.

Unexpectedly, the person who committed such a tragedy as the extermination of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain was actually the personal disciple whom Sect Leader Guan Xu of the Blue Wind Mountain Sect once favored the most?!

Sect Leader Qi Qing said, “Xue Duanhun left the Blue Wind Mountain Sect seventeen years ago. Since then, this seat has never known her whereabouts, never seen her person, nor heard her voice.”

“Incorrect, Sect Leader Qi Qing. Young Hero Xue… Madam Yu hasn’t said who her master is yet, how could you know?” Sect Leader Mo Shen stroked his beard, narrowing his eyes slightly. “It seems you have had contact with Xue Duanhun’s disciple.”

Not wanting to bring disaster to Sect Leader Qi Qing, Xue Mu cupped her hands and said loudly, “Xue Mu will not hide the truth. When my late master passed away, she only told me that she was once a disciple of the Blue Wind Mountain Sect. My wife and I only learned from the suicide note left by my late master that she went to Jin Mountain fifteen years ago to kill members of the Yu Clan for revenge. Wanting to know the truth, I went to the Blue Wind Mountain Sect to ask Sect Leader Qi Qing about my late master’s past.”

“So,” Sect Leader Qing Lan’s gaze lingered on Dugu Yuan’an’s face for a moment, then turned away lightly, landing on Xue Mu’s face, “You think Xue Duanhun’s extermination of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain is excusable?”

Xue Mu blurted out, “No! My late master absolutely did not commit the act of exterminating the clan!”

Old Madam Yan’s gaze suddenly sharpened. “You said Xue Duanhun went to Jin Mountain for revenge. Since she wanted revenge, why wouldn’t she exterminate the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain?”

“Because there were other people on Jin Mountain at that time!” Xue Mu said loudly. “My late master took all the blame on herself in the suicide note. But my wife and I were also on Jin Mountain at that time. I was hit by one person’s ‘Raging Tide Palm’ and suffered from Fire Poison for several years. My wife’s knees were crippled by my master’s palm technique, and she only recovered recently after nourishment. If my late master went to Jin Mountain for revenge, what were the other accomplices for? They must have had ulterior motives!”

Old Madam Yan was stunned, murmuring, “‘Raging Tide Palm’? You were actually hit by the ‘Raging Tide Palm’ passed down by a high monk from the Western Regions? Only people from the ‘Peace Can Last Forever Sect’ can learn this palm technique; others cannot learn it…”

Xue Mu didn’t expect Old Madam Yan to recognize this palm technique, so she said, “Yes! It is indeed the ‘Raging Tide Palm.’ The person who injured me was the former Dharma King Lie Sheng of the ‘Peace Can Last Forever Sect’!” She spoke forcefully. Old Madam Yan said nothing. Other Sect Leaders and elders looked at each other, not knowing what kind of expert “Dharma King Lie Sheng” was.

“But how can you know that the person who injured you was Dharma King Lie Sheng? Have you seen him with your own eyes? Did he not cover his true face when he went up Jin Mountain?” Sect Leader Qing Lan said, “Since he went up the mountain to kill and burn, doing such evil deeds, it’s impossible for him to let you see his face.”

“Correct. We didn’t see anyone’s face clearly back then, so naturally we couldn’t distinguish who was my late master and who was Dharma King Lie Sheng. But the news I got from Sect Leader Qi Qing is that my master once had contact and fought with Dharma King Lie Sheng, and a palm technique Dharma King Lie Sheng was extremely good at was the ‘Raging Tide Palm’.” Xue Mu said seriously, “If my late master later followed Dharma King Lie Sheng to the Western Regions for two years, and then showed her face at the Discourse on the Dao Conference and recognized her enemy, presumably Dharma King Lie Sheng would have followed her up the mountain.”

“Your words are rather strange. Why would Dharma King Lie Sheng risk his reputation for someone who wanted revenge?” Mu Ruo sneered coldly. While everyone was talking at once, she had been standing aside silently. At this moment, she opened her mouth to question Xue Mu, “Xue Duanhun committed suicide to atone for her sins, cutting off the clues I was investigating. This person is hateful to the extreme, concealing the identities of other accomplices. But who can prove that the person who went up Jin Mountain back then was Dharma King Lie Sheng?”

“There were more than two people who went up Jin Mountain back then. I told you this!” Xue Mu said angrily, not understanding why Mu Ruo refuted her like this and pinned the bad hat on Yuan’er. “Yuan’er and I both suspect that someone colluded from inside regarding the extermination of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain. There must be a traitor within the Yu Clan—”

“Nonsense!” Mu Ruo shouted, her eyes burning with bright light, her face revealing a daunting expression as if she wanted to swallow Xue Mu. “All members of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain died. How could there be a traitor cooperating with your master from inside?!”

“That means someone didn’t die, or feigned death to escape!” Xue Mu said.

“Where is the evidence?!” Mu Ruo said, “If you find Dharma King Lie Sheng and let him tell in detail what happened back then, proving that your master was not the main culprit who made the decision to exterminate the clan, I will kowtow three times to you right here!”

Xue Mu’s face changed. If what Wu Qing said was true, Dharma King Lie Sheng had long been targeted and killed. How could he come to Huangding Mountain to tell everyone the truth of that year? After all, there were no ghosts in this world. Even if there were ghosts, wronged souls, and resentful spirits, people couldn’t see them with naked eyes. How could they hear ghosts open their mouths to speak?!

Mu Ruo took a step forward, staring aggressively at Xue Mu, saying word by word, “Please, Young Hero Xue and Madam Yu, tell me where Dharma King Lie Sheng is now. I will go find him myself!”

“Mu Ruo, you—” Xue Mu was so angry that her internal breath was disordered, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood. She bit the tip of her tongue to suppress it forcibly, her body swaying. At this time, the scorching sun was high in the sky. Although the Yang energy wasn’t as heavy as yesterday, it still poured into her body continuously. The Raging Tide Poison was stimulated after all, colliding with her internal breath in her body.

Dugu Yuan’an hugged her waist and said to Mu Ruo in a deep voice, “A few months ago, Xue Duanhun was attacked and blinded. There was thick white mist in her pupils, caused by Soul Cold internal energy. Sister Ruo saw Xue Duanhun injured at that time and already knew in her heart that besides me and you, there was another survivor on Jin Mountain who escaped by luck, right?”

Mu Ruo said, “Yes.”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Please tell Sister, Sister Ruo, where is that person now? What is their name? How did they escape the pursuit and killing blow of those three people?”

Mu Ruo looked at her thoughtfully, smiled lightly, and said, “Sister might as well tell me how you and Young Hero Xue escaped the pursuit of those three people back then.”

Dugu Yuan’an frowned. Xue Mu couldn’t help saying, “Back then, Yuan’er and I rolled down the slope. The heavy rain on Jin Mountain caused the soil on the slope to slide down, burying the cave where we were hiding. Those three people must have come down and couldn’t find us. Seeing the slope sliding like that, they thought we would be buried by mud and stones even if we weren’t beaten to death. They hurried down the mountain and left, naturally ignoring us!”

Mu Ruo smiled. “So that’s how it is. I’ve always wondered why those three people would spare you two children.”

Xue Mu took a deep breath and said, “Did you think they showed mercy and spared two children?!”
