[GL]Whose Wife Is Always Acting Pitiful? Oh, It Turns Out It’s Mine 32

Chapter 32: So Shameless

Mu Ruo threw a soft pillow, hitting Xue Mu right in the chest.

Xue Mu didn’t even have time to dodge. She vaguely felt something was wrong, but still teased, “Mu Ruo, do you know the Soft Pillow Kung Fu? It flew so fast I couldn’t even dodge. Are you used to hitting Xue Wuluo with it?”

Mu Ruo bit her lip. Seeing her expression was off, Xue Mu closed the door and whispered, “What’s wrong, A-Ruo? Were you scared by those disciples of the Blue Wind Mountain Sect downstairs?”

Xue Wuluo looked up and stared blankly at Xue Mu. I didn’t expect those people were really disciples of the Blue Wind Mountain Sect. Then how did Mu Ruo know—

“You aren’t accompanying your wife Yuan’an at the Dugu Manor, but ran to the Xue Star Tower to seek justice for me and Xue Wuluo?” Mu Ruo’s words were sharp, snapping at Xue Mu. Although Xue Mu had argued with her about some things before, she had never seen her looking so tense and aggressive, so she couldn’t help being astonished.

“I just chatted with those people from the Blue Wind Mountain Sect downstairs. I didn’t expect Head Manager Xue—” Seeing the cold light flashing in Mu Ruo’s eyes, Xue Mu shrank back like Xue Wuluo and said mysteriously, “Do you know who Head Manager Xue is to them? Senior Martial Aunt! Unexpected, right!”

Mu Ruo snorted. “I already knew.”

Xue Mu slapped her thigh. “Xue Wuluo, why did you tell everything! Can’t you be mute for once?”

Xue Wuluo stood dumbly on the spot, speechless.

Mu Ruo finally calmed down and said, “Take a bottle of that Snow Wind Blue Flower Pill for yourself, and Wuluo keeps one.”

Xue Mu shook her head. “Forget it, leave them here with you first. If anyone causes trouble in the Xue Star Tower in the future, you can give these pills to the Guardian Stars in the tower.”

“Just take it when I tell you to. Do you want to run naked in a frenzy in the Dugu Manor on the night of the full moon?” Mu Ruo said.

Xue Mu’s mouth twitched. “You… you little girl, so shameless. Fine! I’ll take one bottle. Wuluo, throw it over.”

Xue Wuluo threw a small blue porcelain bottle with her left hand. Xue Mu caught it and put it in her bosom, her expression becoming serious. “The disciples of the Blue Wind Mountain Sect are going to Huangding Mountain to meet with disciples of other sects first. Three months later, the Discourse on the Dao Conference will be held at Huangding Mountain in Jiangnan!”

Mu Ruo said, “Oh, why are you mentioning this?”

Xue Mu waved her fist. “Don’t you want to go see it? We can go together!”

Mu Ruo shook her head. “I’m not interested. Go back to the Dugu Manor.”

Xue Mu smiled beamingly. “If you knew martial arts, you would be interested. You would definitely want to see what the martial arts of other sects look like!”

Mu Ruo said, “Even if I knew martial arts, I wouldn’t be interested in the martial arts of other sects. Other people’s martial arts are not mine. Since I know martial arts, why should I learn from others? Can’t I create a martial art of my own to dominate the martial arts world?”

“Good ambition!” Xue Mu said. “I’m going to create a martial art of my own in the future too!”

Mu Ruo sat on the bed. “I’m going to rest with Wuluo. Leave quickly, don’t waste time here.”

Xue Mu said, “What time am I wasting?”

Mu Ruo said no more, beckoning Xue Wuluo to come over.

Xue Mu scratched her head and had no choice but to close the door and leave, secretly thinking: Xue Wuluo is injured, and Mu Ruo is so angry. Their relationship will definitely deepen in the future. Is the “wedding night” still far away?

When she went downstairs again, the disciples of the Blue Wind Mountain Sect in the main hall had already left. Startled, she flew downstairs to the outside of the vermilion main gate, but there was no trace of them on the street. So she went to the counter and asked Xue Duanhun, “Master, have they left?”

“Mm. They were supposed to rush to the Jiangnan region in the next few days. The disturbance at the Xue Star Tower has already wasted a lot of their time,” Xue Duanhun said.

Xue Mu was puzzled. “Master, have you never thought about going back to Blue Wind Mountain to have a look?”

Xue Duanhun looked up at her and said concisely, “I cannot go back.”

Xue Mu wondered, “Why?”

Xue Duanhun smiled faintly and changed the subject. “Didn’t you want to learn my claw technique and palm technique? Starting tomorrow, I will teach you.”

Xue Mu was ecstatic. She didn’t expect that after this incident, Master would be willing to teach her!

Xue Duanhun gave her a deep look, then lowered her head to look at the abacus. “I asked you to probe Dugu Yuan’an’s strength. Have you done it?”

Xue Mu was stunned. Last night she learned Yuan’er’s feelings, and she herself couldn’t help being moved, overjoyed. How could she remember to probe Yuan’er’s kung fu?

She thought about eavesdropping on the conversation of the Dugu couple behind the rockery in the garden after coming out of the cold pool. She vaguely heard something about “ninth level of the Soul Cold technique.” After pondering for a while on her own, she suddenly realized—

“Master, I have an idea…” Xue Mu signaled Xue Duanhun to talk elsewhere. Xue Duanhun frowned, asked two accountant maids to watch the counter properly, and followed Xue Mu to the corridor connecting the top floor of the Xue Star Tower to the small building in the backyard. This place was very high. If anyone eavesdropped in the corridor, they wouldn’t be able to hide their figure.

“What do you want to say?” Xue Duanhun asked.

Xue Mu didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “Master, everyone says the ‘Soul Cold Twelve Arts’ contains two sets of peerless martial arts—’Soul Cold Seven Palms’ and ‘Soul Cold Five Swords,’ right?”

Xue Duanhun nodded. “Yes.”

Xue Mu said, “But I think everyone is wrong!”

Xue Duanhun’s expression remained unchanged, signaling her to continue.

Xue Mu said, “The ‘Soul Cold Seven Palms’ and ‘Soul Cold Five Swords’ both require Soul Cold internal energy to drive them when executed, in order to unleash the ultimate power of the techniques. But I think the Soul Cold Twelve Arts itself is a set of peerless internal martial arts!”

Xue Duanhun’s eyes flashed. “Go on.”

Thinking of the words she overheard, Xue Mu said, “Disciple believes that this ‘Soul Cold Twelve Arts’ itself is an internal martial art, divided into twelve levels. And the ‘Soul Cold Seven Palms’ and ‘Soul Cold Five Swords’ are just unique skills created by the ancestors of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain combining the Soul Cold internal martial art! Why wasn’t the Yu Clan worried about the first few moves of the palm and sword techniques being learned by outsiders? Precisely because they knew that if the Soul Cold internal martial art wasn’t practiced well, these palm and sword techniques couldn’t exert their true effectiveness!”

Xue Duanhun placed her hands on the corridor railing, a smile hidden on her lips. “Mu’er, continue with your thoughts.”

“Master, if the internal martial art is divided into twelve levels, then the low, middle, and high stages of Soul Cold internal energy should be divided into three: levels one to four, five to eight, and nine to twelve. And practicing the internal martial art to the ninth level means stepping into the high-stage level of Soul Cold internal energy. Only with such a level of internal energy can one unleash the latter moves of the ‘Soul Cold Seven Palms’ and ‘Soul Cold Five Swords’.”

“But outsiders never knew that the Soul Cold Twelve Arts has levels of internal energy. This led to the fact that no matter which expert learned the palm and sword techniques of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain, they couldn’t grasp the essentials and learned with difficulty, because they didn’t know how to use the Soul Cold internal energy to execute these martial arts.”

After Xue Mu finished speaking, Xue Duanhun frowned and pondered for a long time before looking into the distance and whispering, “So, you think Dugu Yuan’an didn’t just learn the Soul Cold Palm, but actually learned the true Soul Cold Twelve Arts?”

“Disciple is just guessing. If she really learned the Soul Cold Twelve Arts, it only means…” Xue Mu stopped here. But how could Xue Duanhun not understand what she was saying? She also knew why Xue Duanhun wanted her to probe Yuan’er’s background.

Xue Duanhun was lost in thought for a long time before murmuring, “The Yu Clan of Jin Mountain has a successor—Mu’er, you must protect her well. Absolutely do not let anything happen to her.”

Xue Mu was greatly shocked. “Master!” How could she be certain Yuan’er is the lucky surviving heir of the Yu Clan of Jin Mountain just by listening to my guess?

Unless… Unless Master already knew Yuan’er’s background!
