[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 159

Chapter 159: Peach Blossom Spring (Utopia)

The group traveled for four or five days. Moving slowly along the way, they raised their vigilance to the highest level, everyone observing the surroundings to prevent sudden attacks.

In the carriage, Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an listened to Old Madam Yan talk about her adventures in the Jianghu back then—”Ling Yan Wonderful Shadow” once broke into Jin Mountain with other great thieves just to catch a glimpse of the “Soul Cold Twelve Arts.” After being caught by Duke Wutu who was on Jin Mountain at the time, they fought in the hidden spring in the back mountain. It happened that the head of the Yu Clan was practicing kung fu, so they stopped fighting and tacitly peeked together.

Hearing this, both Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an laughed out loud.

“So Old Madam Yan also had such mischievous times,” Xue Mu giggled. “Then those Grandmaster experts in the Jianghu were all frivolous when they were young, right?”

Old Madam Yan sighed. “Yes. It is precisely because of experiencing those unforgettable times that now in old age, even if the memory is not good, one still remembers the reckless brat and troublemaker back then.”

Xue Mu glanced at Dugu Yuan’an, thinking: I wonder if Yuan’er and I can also tell our descendants interesting stories from our youth when we get old? If Yuan’er likes babies in the future, we will settle down after roaming the Jianghu, adopt a girl, teach her martial arts and knowledge, so she can proudly report the names of her two mothers in the Jianghu.

Dugu Yuan’an didn’t know she was thinking about the future. She lifted the carriage curtain and looked out, seeing the rolling mountains like a winding emerald ribbon, spotting small bridges, rivers, and villages in the distance.

Peaceful, serene, and secluded.

Goose Shadow Mountain Villa was hidden in these continuous mountains. Mist lingered in the mountains, and the villa was cleverly built relying on the mountain terrain. The main group traveled forward for nearly two more hours before arriving at the location of Goose Shadow Mountain Villa.

Although the mountains looked verdant from a distance, there were no deep caves or hidden canyons to hide in. The mountain bodies were mostly hard rocks. The hills growing on the ridges were open and flat, covered with vegetation. But the mountain paths leading to the hills were narrow and steep. Unless one possessed internal kung fu, it was very difficult to climb up. People from Goose Shadow Mountain Villa had secretly set up observation posts. If strangers appeared nearby, they would definitely be discovered.

Stepping into the villa, what met the eye was an open courtyard planted with flowers, grass, and trees, with rockeries and stone forests interlaced. Walking on the neatly paved bluestone path, smelling the faint floral fragrance, everyone felt comfortable and relaxed. There was a three-story dark gray pavilion in the villa, and the rest were bungalows built according to the mountain terrain. Whether on higher steep slopes or flatter ground, bungalows were located there. The courtyard walls were built very high.

“The villa has a tea room surrounded by bamboo forests, with curling tea fragrance and a quiet environment. There is also a small martial arts training ground for disciples of the villa to spar, with spectator seats around the venue for guests to watch.” The maid beside Old Madam Yan introduced. When the carriage stopped, Xue Mu and Dugu Yuan’an got off together. Duke Wutu clasped his hands behind his back, looking at the surrounding scene with a hint of nostalgia, and sighed, “Still the same as before.”

“Naturally, it’s the same as before.” After getting off the carriage, Old Madam Yan tapped her cane on the bluestone slab. “Duke Wutu, since you came to my Goose Shadow Mountain Villa this time, stay for a few more days before leaving.”

Duke Wutu smiled faintly. “No one is taking care of the chickens and ducks in my farm.”

“Didn’t you entrust them to someone else?” Old Madam Yan wondered, “After you left, your chickens and ducks must have been stolen.”

Duke Wutu said, “Hehe, just joking. Entrusted them to others for feeding long ago.”

Looking at the surrounding environment, Ge Kan said, “It is the fortune of our sect to be able to be a guest at Goose Shadow Mountain Villa this time.”

Old Madam Yan didn’t have a very good impression of this “Peace Can Last Forever Sect” and didn’t say much to Ge Kan along the way, only saying, “Servants will take you to the guest rooms to rest. Young Hero Yu Yuan, come with this old body.”

Dugu Yuan’an was stunned. “Old Madam…?” Is she so eager to teach me the martial art now?

Seeing her thoughts, Old Madam Yan smiled slightly and said, “Since we have arrived at the villa, this old body can relax. Please don’t waste time and come with this old body to learn the wonderful mental cultivation method.” Seeing Xue Mu looking eagerly, she kindly reminded, “Although Young Hero Xue is your wife, she cannot learn this mental cultivation method, so she cannot enter the seclusion secret room with us.”

Xue Mu didn’t want to watch Dugu Yuan’an learn the “Origin Returning Wonderful Method”; she just didn’t want to be separated from her wife. But since Old Madam Yan was so eloquent, she felt explaining would be troublesome, so she grinned and said, “What Old Madam Yan said is very true. Then Xue Mu will wait outside for the two of you.”

“Don’t know how much time it will take.” Dugu Yuan’an held Xue Mu’s hand and said gently, “Go back to rest first and wait for me.”

Seeing Xue Mu’s reluctant look, Old Madam Yan smiled. “The two maidens have deep affection. This old body won’t disturb here. Young Hero Yu Yuan, this old body will wait for you in the small pavilion.”

…

Half an hour later, watched by Xue Mu, Dugu Yuan’an went to the pavilion to meet Old Madam Yan under the guidance of a servant. Leaning against a tree, Xue Mu played with her sword boredly. Hearing the crisp sound of swords clashing faintly from the southwest, she sheathed her sword, used her lightness skill to drill through the forest, climb over the col, and quietly approach the source of the sound.

“Yan Changdu! You beast, today I will cut you down under my sword!” A shout full of hatred rang out. Xue Mu used the “Ghost Swallow Art” to squat behind a scholar tree, eavesdropping on the conversation in the open space.

There were three young girls on the field. The one cursing was a girl in green, and the one pointed at by her long sword was a girl in gray. The two had fought for an unknown number of rounds, both panting heavily. Besides these two, a girl in a red dress stood by with an anxious face, shouting repeatedly, “Sister Changdu, Sister Chang’en, stop fighting!”

The girl in gray, Yan Changdu, looked at the opponent coldly, her sword hanging by her side. When she spoke, she was full of indifference: “Yan Chang’en, I don’t understand what I did for you to call me a ‘beast’.”

The girl in green, Yan Chang’en, was full of anger and said hatefully, “Are you playing dumb? I saw you with Weiran… you to her… are you shameless!”

Hearing this, a weird smile appeared on Xue Mu’s lips, thinking: It seems this is an emotional entanglement between three people. Heh, truly funny. Thinking that Yuan’er and I are a match made in heaven, never having thoughts about others. These three are entangled to this extent. In terms of love, I’m afraid the unloved one will suffer a lot.

“Xia Weiran, what did I do to you just now?” Yan Changdu looked at the girl in the red dress and asked calmly.

Yan Chang’en also turned to look at her immediately, trembling, “Weiran, you… did you really…”

The girl in the red dress looked at the two helplessly, suddenly covering her face and crying. Yan Changdu frowned and said faintly, “Crying cannot solve this matter. Don’t avoid the problem.”

Yan Chang’en shouted angrily, “You still dare to make sarcastic remarks! I’m going to tell Great-Grandmother and ask her to teach you a good lesson!”

As soon as her voice fell, her long sword stabbed at Yan Changdu!
