[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 158

Chapter 158: Parting Must Come

On the twenty-fifth of the tenth month, the Discourse on the Dao Conference ended smoothly. Cult Leader Ge Kan of the “Peace Can Last Forever Sect” arrived late. Seeing Dugu Yuan’an win the martial arts competition and obtain the “Origin Returning Wonderful Method” from Old Madam Yan, he wasn’t surprised.

“Daddy!” Seeing him, Diwu Miaofu was about to pounce, but was grabbed by the back of her clothes by Sect Leader Qing Lan, who shouted, “What are you doing!”

Diwu Miaofu was confused. “I…” Before she could finish, she was thrown backward by Sect Leader Qing Lan. Han Yan hurriedly caught her in her arms, eliciting jeers from the female disciples of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect, making her blush with shame.

“Since you are a member of the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect, you should follow the rules and not approach outsiders casually.” Sect Leader Qing Lan said coldly.

Diwu Miaofu opened her mouth to defend herself. Cult Leader Ge Kan bowed to Sect Leader Qing Lan and said, “This humble one will take the believers of our sect to the Goose Shadow Mountain Villa. I bid you farewell here.”

Sect Leader Qing Lan turned her head coldly and walked away. The disciples hurriedly followed. Diwu Miaofu shouted, “Daddy!”

“So reluctant to part, then follow him!” Sect Leader Qing Lan walked forward without looking back. Han Yan bowed slightly to Cult Leader Ge Kan behind her back, then dragged Diwu Miaofu to leave.

“Wait!” Cult Leader Ge Kan suddenly handed the sword he was holding to Diwu Miaofu. Diwu Miaofu was stunned, hurriedly taking it. Drawing the sword slightly, the sword body was pitch-black with a deep luster. The blade flashed with a cold light under the sunlight.

“This is a Dark Gold Divine Sword our sect obtained from Persia. It is said to be a treasured sword passed down by a peerless expert. Take it and use it. Be careful not to let the sword out of its sheath easily; it’s very easy to hurt people.” As Ge Kan spoke, he took out a pair of gloves. Diwu Miaofu accepted them happily. “Your martial arts include fist techniques. This item is our sect’s ‘Fist Thorn Stab,’ made of celestial silk and dark iron, usable for both offense and defense.”

The back of the fingers of the gloves were studded with pitch-black sharp thorns, slightly curved inward like hooks, full of killing intent. Diwu Miaofu was instantly happy, shouting, “Thank you, Daddy!”

Ge Kan whispered, “Sect Leader Qing Lan had a brief romance with this humble one back then, but she was unwilling to give birth to you. Don’t blame her… She will treat you well in the future.”

“Daddy, don’t you want to talk to her more?” Diwu Miaofu was stunned.

Ge Kan shook his head. “Catch up with them quickly.”

Diwu Miaofu left reluctantly, riding away with Han Yan on a horse. Ge Kan watched for a long time until he heard Wu Qing shout, “It’s not like you won’t see each other again! Let’s go!”

The East He Mountain Sect left earlier than the Cloud Appreciation Mountain Sect. The disciples of the Snow Saint Mountain Villa were escorted back to the villa by the Blue Wind Mountain Sect. Sect Leader Qi Qing bid farewell to Xue Mu, Dugu Yuan’an, and others.

“Sect Leader Junior Martial Aunt, if… if you are still willing, go to the Central Plains to see my master?” Xue Mu said.

Sect Leader Qi Qing smiled and said, “This matter is not urgent. Your master was timid and afraid to face the living. I am still angry with her. First send these pitiful disciples of the Snow Saint Mountain Villa back to the Tibetan region, release Guardian Xue De, Saintess Xue Yue, and others, then I’ll think about whether to calm down.”

“What if Yu Hanhong returns to the Snow Saint Mountain Villa? If Sect Leader Junior Martial Aunt goes there, wouldn’t it be walking into a trap?” Xue Mu worried.

“No, I think he doesn’t have time to go to the Tibetan region again. You two be careful.” Sect Leader Qi Qing looked serious. “I think… he should still be in Jiangnan, very likely setting an ambush near the Goose Shadow Mountain Villa.”

Xue Mu thought for a moment and said, “True. But the ‘Peace Can Last Forever Sect’ is going to Quanshan with us. Presumably, Yu Hanhong won’t dare to plot against us easily.”

Sect Leader Qi Qing nodded and said, “That’s all I have to say. Rushing on the journey is important. Even if Yu Hanhong wants to defeat us one by one, he can’t catch up with us.” With that, she bid farewell to Duke Wutu, Old Madam Yan, the Dugu couple, and others, walked to Lan Qian’s side, mounted a horse together, and galloped away with the disciples.

“Fengxing, you and Yunuo return to the Dugu Manor,” Dugu Wenxing said. “The manor cannot be without a master.”

Dugu Fengxing frowned, seeming unwilling to leave his parents. Dugu Yuan’an also said, “Father, if Big Brother Fengxing and Second Sister Yunuo return to the manor, I’m afraid it won’t be safe.”

“Yes, Yu Hanhong and… and A-Ruo are very likely to act separately.” Xue Mu said.

Dugu Wenxing pondered silently, looking at Duke Wutu and Old Madam Yan. Wu Qing said, “I’ll accompany these two little dolls back! Anyway, Yu Hanhong dares not fight me head-on!”

That’s right, Wu Qing has the “Burning Soul Heart Sutra.” Xue Mu has already practiced this martial art, even trying to let Dugu Yuan’an invade her eyes with cold air, and she could disperse that cold air with internal energy. Therefore, as long as Wu Qing is not blinded by that “Frost-Blind Shadows,” he won’t be defeated by Yu Hanhong.

“But didn’t you say you lose your sense of direction when you close your eyes?” Dugu Yunuo exposed Wu Qing, making him touch his head furiously in anger. “My hearing is good! If he tries to kill me, I can react! It’s just that I can’t chase him!”

Everyone smiled. Duke Wutu scolded laughingly, “Stinking brat, you just want to go to that whatever… whatever tower to see beauties!”

“Is it my Xue Star Tower?” Xue Mu smiled. “Then I ask the three of you to take good care of the sisters in my tower. Don’t let anything happen to them.”

Wu Qing whistled, winking at the Dugu siblings. “Let’s go!”

Dugu Yunuo and Dugu Fengxing exchanged glances. Helplessly, they had to follow him towards the northwest.

Xue Mu whispered to Dugu Yuan’an, “We scattered all the personnel so that guy can’t catch us all in one net.”

Dugu Yuan’an patted her head gently and said, “Don’t run around on the way. Follow me closely, understand?”

Xue Mu smiled. “I know. With so many people, if I slip away from the main group, not to mention Duke Wutu, Old Madam Yan, and the Cult Leader, you will be the first to discover I slipped away.”

Old Madam Yan sat in the carriage and said to them from the window, “You two little girls, come up.”

Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an were both surprised. Old Madam Yan raised her eyebrows and said, “Besides a maid, there is no one to talk to on this old body’s carriage. You two are young, can you tell me something fresh to listen to?”

“I say, you old woman, can’t we talk to you?” Duke Wutu snorted. “Hey, you insist on asking the young couple to talk to you. Can you listen to their private and intimate words? Aren’t you ashamed?”

Old Madam Yan narrowed her eyes and raised her chin slightly. That appearance seemed to let Duke Wutu see the arrogant and cunning charming girl of the past again.

Although she was over seventy, her temperament was still elegant. Those eyes were still like two bright pearls. Even though wrinkles quietly crept onto her face, they couldn’t hide her past elegance.

Seeing her expression, Duke Wutu fell silent immediately and drove the horse forward.

Seeing Xue Mu snickering, Dugu Yuan’an couldn’t help smiling too.
