[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 152

Chapter 152: Various Speculations

The martial arts competition of the Discourse on the Dao Conference was to resume the next day. Xue Mu, Dugu Yuan’an, Diwu Miaofu, and the Dugu siblings sat in the same wing room. Meanwhile, Dugu Wenxing, Dugu Huansheng, Duke Wutu, Wu Qing, and others were having a secret meeting with the Sect Leaders of other sects.

“I really didn’t expect that the culprit who exterminated the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain would be Uncle Yu Hanhong.” Dugu Fengxing sighed.

“Hmph, you still call him Uncle?” Dugu Yunuo said coldly. “I only hate that we can’t go back to the past to warn the people of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain. This person feigned death to escape. After surviving, he should have tucked his tail between his legs and behaved—yet he even took revenge on the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain!”

“Yes, if Yuan’er hadn’t been clever, who could have guessed it would be Yu Hanhong? I really didn’t expect he would be A-Ruo’s father. A-Ruo has now decided to join forces with him for her father’s sake, making me anxious enough to want to kill someone.” Xue Mu slapped her thigh, gritting her teeth. “Xue Wuluo was also abducted by her. She likes Xue Wuluo so much, she probably won’t let her get hurt.”

“Yu Gongruo? Hmph, she has many tricks up her sleeve. Do you think she is as innocent and simple as you?” Dugu Yunuo snorted.

Xue Mu glared. “We are talking about serious business!”

Dugu Yunuo glared back. “I am talking about serious business!”

Dugu Yuan’an held Xue Mu’s hand, and Dugu Fengxing pressed Dugu Yunuo’s shoulder. Only Diwu Miaofu propped her head on one hand and pinched a piece of osmanthus cake with the other, lost in thought, seemingly unaware of the tense atmosphere in the wing room.

“Did you come here to space out, little girl?” Dugu Yunuo immediately directed her fire at Diwu Miaofu. The latter looked up blankly.

“Ah?” She mumbled while biting the cake, “I’m listening to you. Isn’t it just about beating that big bad guy?”

“…Anyway, I grew up with A-Ruo. We are not sisters but closer than sisters.” Xue Mu brought the topic back, her expression solemn. “Since that Yu Hanhong is a villain stained with the blood of his clansmen, A-Ruo won’t end up well following him. I want to save her and Wuluo.”

“Forget it. That Yu Gongruo was so happy to learn her father was still alive. How could she leave him?” Dugu Yunuo said. “You fainted at the time, so naturally you didn’t know what happened on Huangding Mountain. That Yu Gongruo almost killed Third Sister!”

Xue Mu looked at Dugu Yuan’an. The latter smiled gently and said softly, “After all, she couldn’t bring herself to do it in the end. I was in a trance at the time. If she really wanted to kill me, how could I still be alive? Second Sister, Mu’er is right. Since that Yu Hanhong is a villain, we can’t sit idly by and let Sister Ruo follow his wrong path.”

Xue Mu gripped Dugu Yuan’an’s fingers tightly. She heard Dugu Fengxing say, “I remember Yu Hanhong said something like ‘What do I want a dead person for? Her life must be sustained, and she must be clear-headed. I have a use for her.’ Third Sister was in a trance at the time, so she probably didn’t hear it. Xue Mu, you probably have something Yu Hanhong wants on you.”

Xue Mu was stunned. “What does he want from me… Ah!” She cried out softly. Dugu Yuan’an pinched her hand. She also realized what Yu Hanhong wanted—the “Burning Soul Heart Sutra” was in her hand. No, but before I fainted, the “Burning Soul Heart Sutra” hadn’t been delivered to my hand by that Cult Leader yet.

Thinking of this, she suddenly had a flash of insight and secretly complained in her heart: That’s right! When Mu Ruo and Yuan’er were resisting each other with Soul Cold internal energy on the stage, I was breaking through my internal kung fu. The heat emitted from my body must have been recognized by that Yu Hanhong, so he wanted to take me away. If he wants the mental cultivation mantras of the “Burning Soul Heart Sutra,” I, Xue Mu, must be alive!

Seeing Xue Mu looking restless, Dugu Fengxing said, “Xue Mu, did you think of something?”

“Don’t talk about what I thought of for now. No matter what Yu Hanhong wants from me, in short, he won’t succeed.” Xue Mu looked worried and whispered, “I think compared to me, he wants Old Madam Yan’s ‘Origin Returning Wonderful Method’ more. If that ‘Origin Returning Wonderful Method’ were that powerful, Old Madam Yan would definitely have reached the supreme realm. But she hasn’t become a top expert, which shows that the ‘Origin Returning Wonderful Method’ is not that powerful. Rumors praise it to the skies, but I don’t think this martial art is that good.”

At least Grandmaster’s healing martial art is very effective, Xue Mu thought. Maybe even more powerful than that “Origin Returning Wonderful Method”!

“Alright, you can’t think the ‘Origin Returning Wonderful Method’ isn’t powerful just because Grandmaster’s healing method is powerful.” Dugu Yuan’an said gently. Xue Mu made a face at her.

Dugu Yuan’an laughed involuntarily and pinched her cheek.

Dugu Yunuo shuddered from the sourness (jealousy/PDA). Dugu Fengxing ignored it and pondered silently. Patting the cake crumbs off her hands, Diwu Miaofu said carelessly, “Sister Xue, who do you think will win the martial arts competition tomorrow?”

“Well… naturally Yuan’er.” Xue Mu looked at her beloved wife and smiled. “You must know that she and A-Ruo dueled without determining a winner. If it weren’t for that ‘Frost-Blind Shadows’ sneak attack on everyone, Yuan’er would definitely have defeated her.”

“Look at you, starting to praise people after just three sentences.” Dugu Yuan’an smiled helplessly. “How can you praise like this?”

“I’m not wrong. That ‘Frost-Blind Shadows’ is a martial art created by Yu Hanhong. A-Ruo learned it but didn’t use deadly force, otherwise everyone’s eyes would be blind—or maybe her skill wasn’t enough, so she couldn’t make others blind.” Xue Mu explained, “Without this move, it’s really hard to say who would win or lose between you two.”

“Alright, alright, we know you insist on praising your own wife.” Dugu Yunuo said. “That Yu Hanhong is really amazing too. I didn’t expect that kind of martial art wasn’t passed down in the ‘Soul Cold Twelve Arts,’ but created by himself.”

“Maybe precisely because he could create martial arts himself, he was valued by the elders in the clan and was the designated next clan leader. Who would have thought he would go into Qi Deviation while practicing martial arts and kill several clansmen.” Dugu Yuan’an frowned. “I’m thinking, was it because he stabbed himself but didn’t die back then, and was saved by the elders? But since he killed clansmen, he couldn’t escape the blame, so they could only help him feign death to escape.”

Dugu Fengxing said, “He survived by luck without bearing the guilt. Fleeing to the Western Regions, he felt unreconciled. He happened to meet Xue Duanhun who wanted revenge and Dharma King Lie Sheng who wanted to get the ‘Burning Soul Heart Sutra,’ so…”

Dugu Yunuo interrupted, “The three of them went up Jin Mountain together, each with their own purpose. But Dharma King Lie Sheng and Xue Duanhun didn’t expect Yu Hanhong to kill the entire clan. Seeing the situation getting worse and worse, Dharma King Lie Sheng and Xue Duanhun had to make the best of a mistake and cut the grass at the roots of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain!”

Dugu Fengxing looked up at Xue Mu.

“It’s just that those three people didn’t expect Xue Mu was also on Jin Mountain at that time.”
