Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Pearl City Qie Yue (1)_1

Gao Liang followed Dugu Qianye and the other two back to their room. Sang Yu simply told Gao Liang about what had happened to her and her mother. Although it was just a few simple sentences, they filled Gao Liang with righteous indignation.

"Will Aunt Chen stay with you then?" Gao Liang asked.

"We haven’t decided yet. The boss said to stay at the Mo Residence first, and then make a decision after we come back from Holy Sea City," Sang Yu said.

"That’s good. When we return, we’ll probably need to prepare for the journey to Holy Sea City," Gao Liang said.

"What about your situation?"

"Me?" Gao Liang paused, gave a bitter smile, and said, "What else can be done? My older brother has firmly decided not to let them off."

It turned out that Gao Liang’s mother was the first wife of City Lord Gao Yi, and Gao Suo and Gao Qi were born of the second wife. When Gao Liang was five years old, the second wife drugged Gao Liang’s mother and framed her for having an affair with a guard, which led Gao Yi to injure her severely. Then the second wife bribed a Pharmacist to tamper with the medicine, leading to Gao Liang’s mother’s death not long after. At that time, Gao Ming was twelve years old, and with the help of his mother’s family, he managed to escape the second wife’s family’s assassination attempts time and again. He also uncovered the true facts of the incident when he was seventeen. Faced with the facts, Gao Yi felt very guilty toward Gao Ming and Gao Liang. However, the second wife’s family had developed rapidly in the past few years, and it was no longer easy to act against them.

Because of their mother’s affair, Gao Ming and Gao Liang held a deep grudge against Gao Yi. After Gao Liang left for Empire College, Gao Ming stayed away from home, refusing to return.

Over the years, Gao Ming had been quietly making arrangements, aiming to uproot the second wife’s entire family. This time, Gao Ming encountered an assassination attempt, but fortunately, he was saved by Dugu Qianye and the others; it seemed he would not let them get away with it anymore.

Sure enough, during the three days Dugu Qianye stayed in Tong City, the news came out upon her departure that Gao Qi and his brothers were crippled, their mother was killed, and the power of her maternal family was quickly eroded within three days.

"Any follow-up matters, my brother will handle them. So I want to leave with you," Gao Liang caught up with Dugu Qianye and the others at the city gate and said while jumping into the beast carriage.

What a talent Gao Ming was, Dugu Qianye thought secretly. In such a short time, he had managed to dismantle such a large force. The Mo Family was in need of such talents now; it would be great if they could recruit him.

"Let’s go," Dugu Qianye commanded the Swiftwind Wolf outside.

Upon receiving the command, the Swiftwind Wolf began to run, gradually disappearing from the guards’ sight on the city wall. Two figures, standing far apart on the wall, looked at the departing beast carriage with different expressions.

Gao Yi watched ahead with a worried expression. He didn’t know when Gao Liang would return, and though he was with the Count who set the nation and protected by the Mo Family and the Mors Empire, his future was still fraught with risk. Dugu Qianye’s direct feud with Master Niu was something Gao Yi was aware of, and he knew Niu Yan fairly well—a ruthless and protective figure, favored by the Hall Master of Rain Hall and holding a significant status within it. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he were to become the next Hall Master of Rain Hall. But he couldn’t keep Gao Liang by his side; he needed the freedom to soar.

On the other hand, Gao Ming’s expression was calm, but his eyes sparkled with interest as he looked ahead. Little Four, I look forward to our next meeting and seeing how much you will have grown. Is she that girl they speak of—indeed, quite interesting!

Four days later, Dugu Qianye returned to Pu City with high profile. Since everyone had seen her beast carriage the last time she left, as soon as the carriage entered the city, the news of her return spread quickly.

"Aunt Chen, we’ve arrived."

Dugu Qianye got out of the carriage first, followed by Gao Liang, and finally, Sang Yu supporting Chen Yiran.

"Miss Qianye is back!" A gate guard spotted Dugu Qianye and shouted with joy.

"Miss Qianye." The guards all saluted her.

"You’ve all worked hard," Dugu Qianye said to them.

"Not at all, not at all," the guards responded. Although they were just guards, they were not treated as mere servants; Miss Qianye not only allowed them to take Marrow-Cleansing Pills but also tamed Divine Beasts for their use. With Miss Qianye and the Mo Family being so good to them, how could they feel hard-pressed?

Dugu Qianye nodded to them and led Sang Yu and the rest inside. Considering that Chen Yiran would also be staying at the Mo Residence for a while, she decided to take them to the hall first. At this time, her uncles were surely there.

"Qianye, why didn’t you take me with you when you went out?" Mo Ju caught Dugu Qianye just as she reached the entrance of the hall.

"I was in a rush," Dugu Qianye responded with a smile, while pulling Chen Yiran along inside.

"Haha, Qianye is back."

"Greetings to all my uncles!" Dugu Qianye bowed to Mo Chi and the rest, saying, "Uncle, this is Aunt Chen, Yu’s mother. I’m thinking of having her stay at the Mo Residence for some time."

"We’ve already heard about what happened in Ye City," Mo Chi said. "You can arrange for the Chen girl to stay in your courtyard."

"Alright." That was what Dugu Qianye had planned as well.

"Sword Masters taming beasts, oh Sang Yu, you have truly shattered the rule that only Phantom Masters can be Beast Tamers!" Mo Lao San laughed. "A Sword Master who is also a Beast Tamer, you’re indeed one of a kind in this world!"

Since the Thunder Squad had been to the Mo Residence several times, they were already very familiar with the Mo Family and spoke quite casually. "Uncle Three is joking."

"Uncle, I’ll take Aunt Chen to rest first," said Dugu Qianye.

After bringing Sang Yu and her mother along with Gao Liang back to the courtyard and settling them in, they heard a voice coming from outside the courtyard.

"Brother, Big Brother has come to see you!"

Dugu Qianye went outside to see Dan Jingtian in his flamboyant red robe, followed by Mo Ziqing, Ye Canglan, Long Xiang, and He Yan. As Dan Jingtian saw Dugu Qianye, he walked over and put his arm around her shoulder.

"Brother, I rushed over as soon as I heard you were back! How about it, are you touched?"

"Why are you all here?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"We heard about Sang Yu and her mother and came to ask," Long Xiang replied.

"Is that pharmacist really Niu Yan’s brother?" He Yan inquired.

"The City Lord of Ye City said so, so it should be right."

"Then it’s going to be troublesome. Niu Yan is someone who’s extremely protective of his own people."

"What’s there to fear! With my brother’s strength, there’s no need to be afraid of him," Dan Jingtian dismissively said.

"It’s not about fear outside. But we are going to Holy Sea City, their territory; of course, we must be cautious," Mo Ziqing said.

"It won’t make any difference with or without Niu Yan’s brothers," Dugu Qianye stated.

If her mother and grandfather were really in Holy Sea City, it would be impossible for things between her and the Divine Temple to end amicably. Moreover, every time she thought of the Divine Temple, she felt a sense of disgust. So, whether or not there was an issue with Ye City, it would all be the same.

"I’ve been displeased with that bunch of charlatans for a long time. Brother, no matter what you want to do, Big Brother will always stand by your side!" Dan Jingtian declared, thumping his chest.
