[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 155

Chapter 155: Old Friends Exchanging Pleasantries

Arriving at the top of the north cliff of Huangding Mountain again, the scene was surprisingly quiet. Many people brought wooden stools directly and sat down, eagerly waiting for someone to challenge on the martial arts competition stage. Some even tied a black silk ribbon or cloth strip around their foreheads, presumably guarding against Yu Hanhong attacking again, ready to cover their eyes with the black strip in time.

But how could they imagine that “Frost-Blind Shadows” was an eye-damaging method created by Yu Hanhong based on the “Soul Cold Twelve Arts”? Even if the black strip covered the eyes, the cold air would still enter along the eyelids, blocking the circulation of internal breath in their bodies.

When Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an arrived at the top of the cliff, Diwu Miaofu was pestering Han Yan, pouting and saying her sleeve was stained with dust. Han Yan helplessly dismissed her with the excuse of “washing it clean for her.”

“This Miaofu’s temperament is exactly like yours,” Xue Mu said.

Dugu Yuan’an was stunned. “Where is it alike? Even Second Sister said her temperament is not like mine.”

“Yes, Miaofu is rash and careless, while you are gentle and quiet. But both of you have a shameless temperament in your bones.” Xue Mu smiled.

Dugu Yuan’an opened her mouth, not arguing with her, and said, “Alright, you say I’m shameless, so I’m shameless. How about it? Can you escape?”

Xue Mu raised her hands to cover her head. “Oh my! Here is a girl full of wicked tricks. She is bent on capturing me back to the manor. I can’t escape!” She pulled a long face, her tone extremely exaggerated, making Dugu Yuan’an laugh out loud.

“Alright, alright, stop playing. Everyone is almost here. You two go to the front quickly.” Dugu Huansheng urged. Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an obediently went forward hand in hand.

Old Madam Yan was talking with Sect Leader Qi Qing and Sect Leader Qing Lan. The disciples of the Snow Saint Mountain Villa, having lost their “backbone,” were listless. Afraid they would be silenced suddenly on their way back to the Tibetan region, they had to come to the top of Huangding Mountain with the crowd.

The Dugu couple, Wu Qing, and Duke Wutu came to Old Madam Yan. Wu Qing bowed smilingly. “Did Beauty Yan rest well these days?” After speaking, he was knocked on the head by Duke Wutu and scolded, “So impolite!”

Holding her cane, Old Madam Yan nodded coldly and said, “‘Qilian Doctor Not Long’ Lu Wutu, this old body finally sees you again.”

Scrutinizing Old Madam Yan, Duke Wutu smiled slightly and said, “‘Ling Yan Wonderful Shadow’ Yan Wangchen, have you been well these years?”

Old Madam Yan snorted. “Thanks to that brat from the Yu Clan, this old body has lived nearly a lifetime and never been so wretched.”

“Haha, you stumbled once.” Duke Wutu laughed. “If this old man hadn’t come to Huangding Mountain this time, I’m afraid many tombstones would have to be erected on this mountain.”

“Stop flattering yourself.” Old Madam Yan snorted lightly, tapping her cane on Wu Qing’s leg. “You brat, where did you go fooling around these years! Did you forget this old woman!”

Wu Qing hurriedly bowed and said, “Although Grandson has been sightseeing these years, I was also tracking that Yu Hanhong. Old Madam, please don’t be angry.”

Listening to the conversation of the elders, Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an looked at each other. Xue Mu whispered, “So Wu Qing is also related to Old Madam Yan. It seems his background is truly impressive.”

Dugu Yuan’an nodded. “Yes.”

Xue Mu said, “Yuan’er, when we get old, will we be like this too?”

Dugu Yuan’an smiled. “Our life has just begun, and you are already thinking about when we get old?”

“Everyone thinks about when they get old. I just hope the two of us can grow old together, accompanying each other to the end.” Imagining Dugu Yuan’an with white hair, Xue Mu couldn’t help laughing out loud.

Dugu Yuan’an said, “Alright, you must be thinking something weird in your heart.”

Xue Mu hurriedly explained, “Not at all! I was just thinking about what you will look like when you are old.”

Dugu Yuan’an frowned. “Then I definitely won’t look good.”

Xue Mu coaxed her, “Who said that? Look at Old Madam Yan, she is still so beautiful now. She must have been a beauty famous all over the world when she was young.”

“Do you think I’m not famous enough all over the world?” Dugu Yuan’an snorted.

Xue Mu felt wronged. “I didn’t think that.”

While the two were bantering, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Xue Mu looked up and found many people looking at the two of them. She was greatly embarrassed, wondering if those experts heard her conversation with Yuan’er. She hurriedly took Dugu Yuan’an’s hand and stepped forward, bowing to seniors like Duke Wutu, Old Madam Yan, and the Dugu couple.

Staring at Xue Mu, Old Madam Yan gave an “Eh.”

“Are you Yu Yuan’s wife?” She wondered, “That Yu Hanhong almost killed you. How did you recover so quickly?” Speaking of this, she understood immediately, smiling at Duke Wutu. “Truly worthy of being ‘Qilian Doctor Not Long.’ Your medical skills are becoming more and more brilliant and magical.”

Dugu Yunuo asked curiously, “Why is Grandmaster’s title ‘Doctor Not Long’? This title is strange.”

Dugu Wenxing scolded in a low voice, “Nuo’er, don’t be rude to Grandmaster!”

Duke Wutu laughed. “Guess why it’s ‘Doctor Not Long’?”

Xue Mu said, “I know! Because Grandmaster’s medical skills are too amazing. Even people with severe injuries can recover in just a few days in Grandmaster’s hands. So Grandmaster treats people not for long, because it doesn’t take that much time to heal injuries!”

Old Madam Yan sighed. “Yes, how can my ‘Origin Returning Wonderful Method’ compare with Duke Wutu’s ‘Reverse Flow Origin Returning Technique’?”

Duke Wutu snorted twice and said, “Alright, stop talking nonsense. Start quickly. It’s a pity this old man wasn’t here for the two days of martial arts competition. Today I must take a good look at the competition of these young people.”

Touching his round head with growing hair, Wu Qing leaned close to Xue Mu and grinned. “Tower Master Xue, are you very powerful now?”

“How can I compare with Big Brother Wu Qing… Oh no, I should call you Senior Martial Uncle now.” Xue Mu smiled. “This seniority cannot be messed up.”

“What seniority or not, this young master never liked these rules in my life.” Wu Qing waved his hand casually. “Otherwise why would I leave the Western Regions?”

“You came to the Middle Earth, firstly to find out Yu Hanhong’s identity, secondly because you dislike restraint, and thirdly because you want to get rid of your lovers, right?” Xue Mu said.

Wu Qing said, “Yes! You are spot on!”

Xue Mu rolled her eyes and said, “People of your ‘Peace Can Last Forever Sect’ are not allowed to marry, right?”

Wu Qing said, “Yes—wait, don’t ask me why I didn’t marry my lovers!”

Xue Mu smiled. “I’m not asking if you married.”

Wu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. Xue Mu added, “I’m just asking if you had babies with your lovers.”

Wu Qing’s expression stiffened, and he almost jumped with rage. “I am not a person like Ge Kan!”

Glancing at him, Dugu Yuan’an stepped onto the martial arts competition stage with light and elegant steps.

The believers of the “Peace Can Last Forever Sect” all came near the north cliff. Some were on the top of the mountain, some at the foot. Hundreds more iron chains were added to the cliff to facilitate everyone going down the mountain.

Dugu Yuan’an said loudly on the martial arts competition stage, “Yu Yuan is here waiting for everyone to challenge!”
