Dugu Xiong returned to the Dugu family full of suspicion.

The reason why he hurried back from the capital was because he happened to hear some rumors.

These rumors are about his wife Yan Shulan.

And it sounds a bit harsh.

The general meaning is that he, the head of the Dugu family and a great cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Dugu Xiong, seems to have a green hat on his head.

Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Dugu Xiong still couldn't stand these rumors, so he returned to his family regardless.

I want to ask Madam Yan Shulan for clarification.

Especially the fact that Yan Shulan went to Luoyun Sect to pay her respects alone without prior consultation became a thorn in Dugu Xiong's heart.

It’s a good opportunity to ask all of them at once.

Besides, his eldest son Dugu Chen has also returned from Xuanyang Taoist Sect and is now staying in the family.

Even if the couple really have any conflicts and estrangements, they can be resolved through their son.

"Master? Why did you come back so suddenly?"

The people in the Dugu family were all a little surprised to see Dugu Xiong coming back.

"Where is the lady?"

"Um, Madam should be in the backyard with the eldest and second sons."

Dugu Xiong immediately ran to the backyard.

When he arrived at the backyard, he saw Yan Shulan, dressed in a light green dress, sitting in the pavilion.

Beside her are her two sons.

Dugu Chen!

Dugu Ming!

Compared with Dugu Ming, Dugu Chen is obviously more calm and mature, and his every move and gesture exudes the temperament of being able to stand on his own.

And his cultivation is even more extraordinary.

Late stage of Golden Elixir!

Moreover, he is very young, and he is in a powerful force like Xuanyang Dao Sect, so his future is destined to be bright.

The two sons were talking to Yan Shulan in a harmonious atmosphere filled with laughter.

It looks very harmonious.

Dugu Xiong, who had rushed back full of doubts, felt relieved after seeing this scene.

His wife has given birth to two children for him, and she stays in the family all year round, rarely going out.

Such a perfect Taoist partner has just been going out more recently, but I actually have doubts about my wife because of some ridiculous rumors?

I, Dugu Xiong, am simply not a human being.

If the lady knew that I doubted her, she would be so sad.

"Hmm? Father is back."

At this moment, Dugu Chen in the pavilion was the first to see Dugu Xiong.

Yan Shulan also turned her head and was slightly startled when she saw Dugu Xiong standing in the distance.

"Why did he come back suddenly?"

But on the surface, Yan Shulan was as calm and indifferent as ever.

"Madam, Chen'er Ming'er."

Dugu Xiong walked into the pavilion with a smile on his face.

"I've met my father!"

The two sons stood up and saluted together.

Yan Shulan also stood up and looked at Dugu Xiong with pretended confusion.

"Isn't my husband in the capital? Why did he come back suddenly? Could something have happened in the capital?"

She also looked worried.

Dugu Xiong felt even more guilty. His wife was obviously worried about him, but he hurried back because of a little doubt.

I'm nothing.

"Nothing happened, I just suddenly missed my wife and couldn't help but come back."

Dugu Xiong said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Dugu Chen and Dugu Ming looked at each other and left together very tactfully.

Only Dugu Xiong and Yan Shulan were left in the pavilion.

"Husband, do you have something to say to me?"

Yan Shulan sat down again and asked casually.

Dugu Xiong was a little embarrassed.

But he really had some questions to ask.

"Madam, are you and Li Qingfeng from Luoyun Sect old acquaintances?"

Dugu Xiong asked cautiously.

He was afraid that his tone would be too harsh and make Yan Shulan angry.

Yan Shulan glanced at Dugu Xiong calmly.

"Why do you ask that, my husband?"

Dugu Xiong smiled awkwardly.

"I met Li Qingfeng before. He mentioned Madam and seemed to be familiar with her."

Yan Shulan was a little surprised.

Did Li Qingfeng mention herself in front of her husband?

I didn't even know about this.

Could it be that Li Qingfeng let something slip, causing Dugu Xiong to suspect their relationship?

So that's why Dugu Xiong came back suddenly?

Probably!

But looking at Dugu Xiong's expression, he might have some doubts, but they were definitely just suspicions.

So don't panic too much.

“That was when I was young.”

Yan Shulan looked very emotional, with a look of reminiscence in her eyes.

"My dear husband, you also know that Li Qingfeng was the most outstanding young disciple of Luoyun Sect back then, and also the most dazzling genius of our Great Yu Kingdom."

"I admired him a lot back then and had a close relationship with him, but we didn't have much interaction afterwards."

"Especially after learning that he had married three Taoist companions, I haven't had any contact with him for many years."

So that's what happened?

Dugu Xiong breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that I really misunderstood.

It was just some trivial matter from the past.

Li Qingfeng was indeed very dazzling when he was young, and no one among the younger generation of cultivators in the Dayu Kingdom could match him.

Dugu Xiong had already become famous at that time, and was actually not from the same era as Li Qingfeng.

"I see."

Dugu Xiong smiled and gently stroked Yan Shulan's shoulder.

"Madam, why didn't you discuss this with me beforehand when you went to Luoyun Sect to offer condolences?"

Yan Shulan's face immediately darkened.

"Why? My husband thinks I'm acting on my own?"

"I am the mistress of the Dugu family after all. Do I have to discuss everything with you first and get your consent before I can do anything?"

Seeing that Yan Shulan was angry, Dugu Xiong panicked and hurried to explain.

"Madam, calm down. That's not what I meant. I just..."

Before Dugu Xiong could finish speaking, Yan Shulan interrupted him.

"I went to Luoyun Sect to offer condolences for the Dugu family. Even though our Dugu family and Luoyun Sect don't have a harmonious relationship, how could we not even have one person go to the sect leader's funeral?"

"At least there should be some aristocratic family style."

"It's fine if you don't go, and I won't send your brother either. Then I, as the mistress, will have to go."

"What? Are you still not satisfied?"

Dugu Xiong's face turned red and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Good guy!

It was the first time he saw Yan Shulan so angry.

For a moment, I really couldn't stand it.

"Madam, please calm down. It's my husband who is wrong."

"Madam, you are so thoughtful and have protected the reputation of our Dugu family. I should be grateful to you."

Dugu Xiong quickly apologized.

Yan Shulan glanced at Dugu Xiong and sneered in her heart.

But he didn't say anything else.

Dugu Xiong felt a surge of anger when he saw Yan Shulan seemed to have calmed down.

He gently held Yan Shulan's soft hand.

"Madam, why don't we..."

Yan Shulan's heart started to panic. Her mind was now filled with Li Qingfeng, so naturally she didn't want to sleep in the same bed with Dugu Xiong anymore.

Just when she was looking for a reason to refuse, Dugu Xiong's expression changed and he took out a jade slip for sending a message.

"Brother, something terrible has happened!"

"Of the four sects and three families, except for my Dugu family and the Tianchen Sect, the others have all turned to the Luoyun Sect!"

"The Chen and Liu families have all changed their tune and support the Ninth Prince."

"Although the Ancient Sword Sect no longer supports King Kaoshan, Murong Shu has adopted Li Qingfeng as his adopted son!"

Dugu Ying's hurried and anxious voice rang out from the communication jade slip.

"What???"

Dugu Xiong was horrified and stood up all of a sudden, the thought just now disappeared immediately.

"Brother, the situation is urgent. If we don't take action now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save the situation."

In the jade slip, Dugu Ying's voice became resolute and cruel.

"Now that things have come to this, we have only one option left—kill the Ninth Prince immediately!"

Dugu Xiong looked solemn, with a frown on his face.

Although this was something they had discussed before, it was a step they would only take as a last resort.

I didn't expect to take this step so soon.

It was really unexpected.

Dugu Xiong didn't notice at all that his conversation with Dugu Ying had already been heard clearly by Yan Shulan who was standing beside him.

"Are they going to attack the Ninth Prince?"

Yan Shulan's heart moved.

"I must inform Qingfeng about this as soon as possible!"
