Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Testing, Injury (2)_1
Dugu Yilan was about to make a move on Dugu Qianye again, when the door suddenly burst open and Zi Xiao charged in. Upon seeing Dugu Qianye on the ground, he sent a stream of spiritual power towards Dugu Yilan and took the opportunity to rush to Dugu Qianye’s side, helping her up.
Hao Pengyou and Mo Feng also arrived at Dugu Qianye’s room, and seeing the mess everywhere, as well as Dugu Qianye pale from the collision, they attacked Dugu Yilan without a word. The room was too small for anyone to fight effectively, and after a round of scuffling, the room was unrecognizable.
Seeing that Hao Pengyou and the others were about to continue their attacks, Dugu Qianye suddenly spoke up, "Senior brother, third uncle, stop fighting."
The two who were ready to make a move paused, and Dugu Yilan, with a cold expression, asked, "What did you just call me?"
"Third uncle." Dugu Qianye called out, and then she took off her mask, revealing a face that resembled Dugu Yixuan’s. She switched the Phantom Ring and reverted to her female form.
Dugu Yilan looked at Dugu Qianye with surprise. Seeing that face which so resembled Dugu Yixuan’s, the truth spoke for itself. He said excitedly yet incredulously, "You, you’re Qianye?"
Dugu Qianye nodded and coughed a few times. Zi Xiao quickly took out an elixir for her to swallow. After taking the elixir, the fiery sensation in her internal organs slowly subsided.
"I’m sorry, third uncle, I had to make sure of you..." Dugu Qianye said apologetically, "That’s why I said what I did just now."
"Oh, you!" Dugu Yilan looked at Dugu Qianye with a mixture of amusement and fondness, "I did go a bit overboard just now. How are you feeling now?"
Dugu Qianye touched her chest; that was not just a bit overboard, that was an attempt to kill, okay? If she hadn’t activated the Formless Divine Skill, she would have been sent to the afterlife by now. But thinking about how it was all provoked by her and the more angry he got, the more it showed he cared about their father and her, she could only laugh and shake her head.
Hao Pengyou had been asleep, but when he heard the noise from Dugu Qianye’s place, he immediately ran over. Looking at the comedic turn of events, he was a little confused and turned to Dugu Qianye asking, "So, we’re not fighting anymore?"
"No need to fight anymore," Dugu Qianye said, then looking at the mess on the floor, added, "Let’s go somewhere else to talk."
In the end, everyone went to Zi Xiao’s room. Although they knew the previous situation was a misunderstanding, the memory of seeing Dugu Qianye laying on the ground still left Hao Pengyou shaken. He held onto Dugu Qianye, not wanting to let go; even as they sat together, he wrapped his arms tightly around her waist.
"Little junior sister, what was all that about just now? Your senior brother was nearly scared to death," Hao Pengyou said while yawning. Without the need to fight, the tension he was holding onto just dropped, and sleepiness took over.
Dugu Qianye looked at Dugu Yilan and said, "This is my third uncle, Dugu Yilan." Then pointing to Hao Pengyou, she said, "Third uncle, this is my senior brother Hao Pengyou, this is my brother Mo Feng, and this is Zi Xiao."
Dugu Qianye made the introductions one by one. Dugu Yilan, watching Zi Xiao who was embracing Dugu Qianye tightly, didn’t say anything, simply nodding in acknowledgement at each introduction.
"So, it’s the third uncle!" Hao Pengyou said, "Since it’s the third uncle, why did you start fighting just now?"
"Cough, cough," Dugu Qianye coughed and replied, "Tonight, my third uncle came to see me, wanting me to help him with the alchemy of the Fire Dragon Pill, and then..."
Dugu Qianye recounted the evening’s events, including the part where she claimed to have killed Dugu Qianye and stolen the ring. Once she finished, Hao Pengyou and the others finally understood what had happened.
"Sigh, the little junior sister has never met her own parents since she was a child; moreover, her parents were captured. It’s only natural for her to be cautious and test the waters a bit. After all, the situation with your family is a bit..." After hearing this, Hao Pengyou was quite understanding of Dugu Qianye’s actions.
Looking at Hao Pengyou, Dugu Yilan said in surprise, "You know about our family?"
"I knew it, the first time I saw the little junior sister’s filled-out form, I thought she might be from your family clan. I never expected it to be true." Hao Pengyou said.
"How could you know about our Hidden World Family? Hao Pengyou, are you a member of the Weiliang Country’s Royal Family?" Dugu Yilan pondered for a moment before asking.
"The Royal Family?" Dugu Qianye also looked at Hao Pengyou. She had never really asked about Hao Pengyou’s background.
"Yes. But I followed my master to the Spirit Void Continent when I was just a child," Hao Pengyou admitted.
"The person who caused trouble with the Nangong Family back then was you, right?" Dugu Yilan suddenly asked.
Hao Pengyou hadn’t expected Dugu Yilan to bring up his past, took a moment to gather his thoughts, then laughed and said, "Uncle is indeed wise, you even guessed that!"
Dugu Qianye looked at Hao Pengyou and noticed an unmistakable trace of melancholy in his eyes.
"Not many people your age would know about the Hidden World Families. Given the scale of the incident back then, it was not difficult to guess," Dugu Yilan explained.
"What incident?" Dugu Qianye asked.
"Back then..." Dugu Yilan was about to continue when Hao Pengyou suddenly interjected, "Little junior sister, weren’t you going to ask about your parents?"
Dugu Yilan, seeing how Hao Pengyou cut him off, understood he didn’t want Dugu Qianye and the others to know about the past. Dugu Qianye noticed his strained expression, realizing he didn’t want to bring it up. She turned to Dugu Yilan and said, "Uncle, you said that as long as I came to ask you, you would tell me about my parents. Can you tell me now?"
"I can, but before I tell you those things, you need to first tell me how you got here. We had received information that you couldn’t cultivate, but now you’re not only able to cultivate but have also learned alchemy, and the quality is so high."
Just as Dugu Qianye was about to speak about her past, Zi Xiao suddenly spoke up.
"Let’s discuss everything else tomorrow night. You’ve been injured and need to rest properly. There’s also the competition tomorrow. These matters can’t be cleared up in a moment," Zi Xiao said.
Dugu Yilan nodded and said, "I’ll come to you tomorrow night then. Rest up for tonight, don’t let your injuries affect tomorrow’s competition," Dugu Yilan agreed.
Thinking it over, Dugu Qianye also felt that if they discussed it tonight, they might end up talking until the next day, which would prevent her injuries from easing and affect her performance in tomorrow’s competition.
"Alright, after tomorrow’s competition, you must tell me about what happened back then. Also, about my parents’ whereabouts," Dugu Qianye said to Dugu Yilan.
"Okay." Dugu Yilan said as he stood up to leave, then he suddenly remembered something, turned around, and looked at Dugu Qianye.
"What is it?" Dugu Qianye asked, puzzled.
"Your room has been destroyed, where will you be staying tonight?" Dugu Yilan asked.
Before Dugu Qianye could answer, Zi Xiao said, "She’ll stay with me. From now on, I’ll be with her every night."
