[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 139

Chapter 139: Frost-Blind Shadows

At the same time Dugu Yuan’an shouted, Xue Mu closed her eyes due to the severe pain. Cries of pain, screams, and curses from the crowd rang in her ears one after another. Her vision flashed black, then white. It hurt so much that she clenched her fists, gritting her teeth not to cry out.

“My eyes! My eyes! Ah!”

“What hidden weapon hurt my eyes?!”

“My eyes hurt so much! So much! What insidious hidden weapon is this?!”

Quite a few people knelt on the ground wailing. Even experts with strong skills like Old Madam Yan, Sect Leader Qing Lan, and Sect Leader Qi Qing temporarily lost their vision, using internal energy to disperse the layer of blind mist.

Mu Ruo on the martial arts competition stage stood quietly in place, looking up at the condensed frost light spots shining with silver light under the scorching sun. Unlike others, her eyes were not hurt.

—But she also didn’t expect that Dugu Yuan’an wasn’t hurt either.

It turned out that when those light spots appeared, Dugu Yuan’an realized that her guesses all along were true.

Whether it was the “strange snow in midsummer in the Western Regions seen by Wu Qing” conveyed by Xue Mu, or the fact that Xue Duanhun was blinded with a trace of Soul Cold internal energy remaining in her eyes, plus her suspicion all along that there was a traitor on Jin Mountain coordinating from inside—

All were connected when she used the eye technique she created to defend against the snow frost light spots.

Mu Ruo only saw Dugu Yuan’an’s pupil color turn mist-white faster than others, then quietly disperse, returning to the original pupil color. Her dark eyes were clear, showing no sign of injury.

She couldn’t help being surprised. But Dugu Yuan’an immediately made a move, using a strong palm wind to disperse those rapidly flying, dazzling light spots. Mu Ruo was unhurried, not even stopping her, but frowning in confusion.

“How did you learn the unique skill ‘Frost-Blind Shadows’?” She took a step forward, actually asking seriously, ignoring the wailing crowd outside the martial arts competition stage.

Dugu Yuan’an didn’t answer her. Coming to Xue Mu who was sitting cross-legged, she persuaded her gently to open her eyes for her to take a look.

Listening to the sounds on the stage, knowing Dugu Yuan’an wasn’t blinded, Xue Mu felt relieved. She opened her eyes obediently, revealing pale mist-white eyes. Dugu Yuan’an’s heart ached terribly. She covered her eyes with her hand, carefully sucking out the cold air.

Although she could remove the cold air, she couldn’t restore Xue Mu’s vision immediately. She kissed her forehead lovingly and stood up to look at Mu Ruo.

“You said ‘Frost-Blind Shadows’?” she said faintly. “I only guessed that the move blinding Xue Duanhun was something I had never learned or seen before—that means this unique skill can only be learned by people of your ‘Bright Light Generation’.”

Mu Ruo sneered lightly. Dugu Yuan’an continued, “After Xue Duanhun died, I was wondering what kind of person could hurt her. If the elders all knew this unique skill, why were they all killed? It only means this unique skill was not passed down by the ancestors of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain, but created by a direct clan member.”

Hearing her say this, Mu Ruo’s expression changed from mocking to calm.

“Oh? So, you guessed the person who created this unique skill?”

“I originally thought you hurt Xue Duanhun. You wanted to kill her when you discovered her identity. After years of concentrated cultivation, you created this unique skill, which blinded her.” Dugu Yuan’an said, “But I always harbored the thought of a traitor in my heart. I think it was that traitor who did it, and you recognized that person’s identity, so you were happy.”

“But why were you happy? What relationship does that person have with you? Do you know each other?” She turned her hand and pushed out another palm wind, scattering all the scattered light spots in the sky.

Mu Ruo laughed lightly.

“Yu Yuan, oh Yu Yuan, you were clearly guessing wildly, but hit the mark by mistake, creating a method to break ‘Frost-Blind Shadows.’ I really don’t know whether to praise you or hate you.”

Now everyone present temporarily lost their vision. Xue Wuluo couldn’t avoid it either. The cold light refracted by those light spots shone on her mask, but the cold air belonging to the Soul Cold technique actually bypassed her, failing to hurt her eyes. She was better off than others.

Listening to Mu Ruo’s light laughter on the stage, she felt pain and sadness in her heart. Half-kneeling on the ground, she suddenly took off her mask.

Identifying people by voice, Xue Mu sought Dugu Yuan’an’s position. The heat in her body surged through the acupoints in her head, dispelling the cold and pain in her eyes, thinking: So Yuan’er had long guessed that the strange snow in the Western Regions wasn’t snow, but someone practicing a unique martial art!!

But couldn’t Wu Qing see it? His strength is also very strong; how could he not see that it wasn’t snow?

Could it be that he mentioned this actually to hint at me, but I didn’t understand at all, just treating it as a desert wonder to tell Yuan’er? Unexpectedly, Yuan’er connected this wonder with the clues they collected these days, and even developed an eye technique to deal with that unique skill!

Old Madam Yan, Qi Qing, Qing Lan, Mo Shen, and others were secretly shocked, thinking: Was the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain exterminated really because of a traitor, leading to the current situation? Who exactly is that traitor?

While using internal energy to break through that layer of blind mist, they racked their brains. But that blind mist was difficult to disperse with internal energy. Even a Grandmaster expert like Old Madam Yan could only disperse thirty percent of its power. Black no longer flashed before her eyes, but she could only see a layer of thick mist in her vision.

“I’ve always been thinking, the deceased clan members of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain were all identified, which means no one feigned death to escape.” Dugu Yuan’an said, “But would a traitor let themselves truly die? No, they wouldn’t. Not only did they not die, but they are also free in the Jianghu. Therefore, that person ‘died’ one day long before the extermination of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain, lived ignobly outside after leaving Jin Mountain, and then returned to Jin Mountain to kill everyone.”

“Until a few months ago, he found Xue Duanhun and injured her eyes. I think his purpose in injuring Xue Duanhun was not to force her to commit suicide to atone for her sins, but so that someone in the Xue Star Tower could recognize his identity through this unique skill. And you also recognized his identity, so you left the Xue Star Tower to find him.”

When Dugu Yuan’an spoke up to here, Xue Mu vaguely heard a very slight “scoff” from due north. Then she heard Mu Ruo say, “Yu Yuan, why do you have to guess like this?”

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Sister Ruo, tell me, how did I guess? Did I guess pretty close to the truth, or did I guess you too thoroughly?”

When she said the word “thoroughly,” a stinging pain suddenly came from the back of her neck. Realizing someone might be sneak-attacking from behind, she bent her index finger slightly and shot a finger force fiercely backward.

Unexpectedly, a surging heat surrounded her, and another soft plop sounded—

The smell of blood drilled into Dugu Yuan’an’s nose, making her mind go blank.
