Chapter 406 Madam Is a Good Person

Duan Yuanxin has an elegant face and a gentle smile. He looks like a kind and upright middle-aged man.

The gentle woman doesn't have many expressions on her face. She mostly listens to the man quietly, with a peaceful face.

"Yong'er will definitely become better after entering the Tianhu Holy Land this time."

"Yeah."

"Alas, speaking of it, you and I are husband and wife, but we can't really be husband and wife, which is a bit regrettable."

The woman raised her head and glanced at Duan Yuanxin, with a bit of inquiry between her eyebrows, which was a bit strange.

Because on weekdays, although this man does a lot of face work to make outsiders look like a loving couple, they are in harmony.

But in fact, she knows very well in her heart that Duan Yuanxin should have no feelings for her at all.

"You are a good woman!"

Duan Yuanxin sighed with emotion for some reason.

The woman looked at him quietly and still didn't ask.

Duan Yuanxin looked at the woman's gentle face and bright eyes, and couldn't help asking: "We have known each other for almost thirty years, right?"

"Yes, twenty-eight and a half years." The woman nodded gently.

"Hey, you will remember it better than me." Duan Yuanxin laughed at himself, then looked at her and asked: "I have a question that I have been holding in my heart, and I am quite curious."

"What is the question?" The woman asked in a soft voice.

"You have been like this since the day I met you, and you have not changed to this day. You are one of the few women I have met who has remained the same for decades," Duan Yuanxin looked at her: "But why..."

The woman also looked at Duan Yuanxin.

Duan Yuanxin hesitated, smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't ask."

The woman was stunned, looking at Duan Yuanxin who stood up and seemed to want to leave, and suddenly whispered: "Yuanxin."

"Hmm?" Duan Yuanxin looked back at her, she rarely called herself that.

"Are you... worried about something?" The woman asked gently.

"I... no, I don't have any worries." Duan Yuanxin's face gradually calmed down.

"You are a good woman!"

He thought about it and said it again, as if to convince himself.

"Actually, I know what you want to ask." The woman suddenly said faintly.

"Hmm?" Duan Yuanxin was slightly startled, probably because he didn't expect that this woman who has always been gentle and virtuous would speak in such a tone.

"I always feel that you seem to have something on your mind recently. Of course, this is your man's business, and I am not in a position to ask more," the woman said softly: "But as to why I... Actually, for so many years, I have always wanted to talk to you."

"Oh?" Duan Yuanxin had originally planned to walk out, but he unconsciously retreated and sat opposite the woman, looking at her.

"I know you have a lover, and I also know that you look down on me." The woman said.

Duan Yuanxin laughed and shook his head, denying: "No, no, I really don't. If I looked down on you, I wouldn't often talk to you like this."

The woman smiled noncommittally. She didn't care about Duan Yuanxin's explanation, but said softly and carefully: "I am the youngest girl in the family. I have three older brothers and two older sisters."

"Well, I know that." Duan Yuanxin nodded.

The woman said: "My family is not very well off, but my brothers and sisters are talented, but unfortunately they have no money, let alone resources..."

"Now they are powerful, with your help, they are all living well!" Duan Yuanxin smiled.

His nominal uncles and aunts can no longer be simply described as "living well".

As the brothers and sisters of the wife of the current head of the Duan family, any of them are big figures on Tianhu Star.

Although they don't live in the main city of the Duan family, everyone is famous all over the world.

Speaking of which, this woman's family is quite outstanding, and her nephews and nieces are all very powerful.

"Well, I have to thank you for all this." The woman whispered.

"You and I are husband and wife, why should we thank each other?" Duan Yuanxin smiled and said, "Even if it's fake, I will do what I should do."

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This woman is really a good woman. If there is no Supreme Elder in the middle, he really married her, and then gave birth to another son and supported him to be the prince, right?

If this is possible, why would he take great risks to kill Duan Yong and the Supreme Elder, and then take back the wife of the Shangguan family?

Of course, the relationship with his sister is real, but she has been the wife of Shangguan for so many years...

It's a pity... There is no if in this world.

"In fact, it was because of these things that I did that back then..." The woman whispered, "But in my heart, I am really grateful to you."

"Well, you are a good woman!"

Duan Yuanxin said the same thing for the third time, then stood up, looked at the woman seriously and said, "Don't worry, no matter what time it is, I will not ignore you, let alone... hurt you!"

After saying that, he strode out of the hall.

In the hall, the woman frowned slightly, with a look of confusion and puzzlement in her eyes.

She had a premonition that something was going to happen, but she had no idea what it was going to be.

Although she had been Madam Duan for so many years, she never left the house, and was no different from a lady from a wealthy family.

In the eyes of almost everyone, the lady had always been so simple.

So even if she wanted to ask what happened now, she sadly found that she had no one to ask.

After Duan Yuanxin left, the two guards around him followed him automatically.

"Protect the lady, don't let anyone hurt her!"

Duan Yuanxin whispered.

"Yes, master." The two guards agreed in unison.

How long can I protect her?

When she comes back, can she accommodate this woman?

Alas, before she comes back, she still has to send her away.

Of these two, one was a woman who had been his wife in name only for 28 and a half years; the other... was a woman who had a brother-sister relationship with him but no blood relationship, and had given birth to two sons for him!

He knew which was more important, but for some reason, he was reluctant to part with this wife in name only.

So, he really would not hurt her.

At least, he thought so.

That night, a series of huge earthquakes broke out in the main city of Tianhu Duan's family.

As if there was an earthquake, the whole city was shaking violently.

A large number of buildings collapsed, and according to preliminary statistics, there were at least thousands of casualties.

The explanation given by the Duan family was that a ground dragon turned over.

But in fact, anyone who really had some cultivation knew that something big happened last night!

A shocking event!

The bullshit ground dragon turned over, it was clearly a strong man who took action!

Three days later, the news of the sudden death of the supreme elder came from the main city of the Duan family.

Despite the various opinions, there are still various rumors.

Basically, they are all related to the previous "earth dragon turning over".

Some say that the Grand Elder was killed by his enemies, and some say that the Grand Elder is actually at odds with the head of the family. There are even more outrageous ones, saying that the Grand Elder had an affair with his wife before marrying her to the head of the family, and even the current prince Duan Yong...

Some people think that rumors are not reliable at all, but some people think that there is no smoke without fire.

Anyway, in recent days, various rumors have spread rapidly throughout Tianhu Star along the main city of the Duan family.

Almost everyone is talking about this matter.

The death of the Grand Elder of the Duan family is a big deal.

Not to mention the whole country mourning, it's not much different.

On the fifth day after the conversation between the head of the family Duan Yuanxin and his wife, the Duan family's belated announcement finally came out.

"The Grand Elder passed away due to illness, and Tianhu Star mourned for a month."

Only such a short sentence, it looks particularly perfunctory.

Although mourning for a month is equivalent to the treatment of the death of the head of the family, it still makes people feel that the official attitude of the Duan family is problematic.

It seems to give people a feeling that they are unwilling to do even superficial work.

As a result, those rumors are rampant!

But in the backyard of the head of the family, the lady should grow flowers, drink tea, and play the piano. In short, she is not affected by the wind and waves outside.

She didn't even know the news of the sudden death of the supreme elder!

In the entire backyard, from top to bottom, no one gossiped about this to her.

There was not even any private discussion.

Because everyone in the backyard, even those with bad hearts, knew in their hearts that the lady was a good person.

In the following days, the entire Tianhu Star was immersed in a tense atmosphere.

Of course, this was not because everyone mourned the death of the supreme elder of the Duan family.

But this star was blowing a violent storm!

Under the storm, everyone is in danger!

Almost all people related to the Grand Elder, whether innocent or not, were liquidated!

In contrast, the subordinates of other elders quickly began to take over.

What is a bit confusing is that even the prince was implicated.

Anyone related to the prince was also liquidated in various ways.

Although they were not as harsh as the Grand Elders, they were all humiliated and even dared not show their heads.

Is the Tianhu Star really going to change?

So, a more vicious rumor suddenly emerged-

"Hehe, I have said it long ago that the head of the family and his own sister... have two bastards, the two from the Shangguan family. I am not spreading rumors. Let's not talk about the blood test first. There are photos of the two on the Internet. Take a good look at the two brothers in the photos. Do they look very similar to our head of the family? Do they look like uncles? No, they look like fathers! Today I will say this. If the new prince of the Tianhu Duan family is not chosen from these two people, I will commit suicide to apologize!"

"The original prince? Of course the original prince must be killed! No matter how close the original prince is, the child was born by a woman outside, not his sister!"

The rumor was so shocking that it was a real blow!

Although countless people suspected that there was something wrong between Duan Yuanxin and his sister in the past, they were all secretly discussing it. This is the first time that such a bold statement was directly posted on the Internet of Tianhu Star and the source could not be found.

This rumor spread to every corner of Tianhu Star almost overnight.

Duan Yuanxin sat in the study, and there were several old people sitting on the hard wooden chairs.

Duan Yuanxin felt a little full of confidence.

After so many years, this was the first time he was so high-spirited.

For the first time, I felt that I was the head of the family.

For the first time, I felt that I had the final say on this planet.

It was also the first time that I truly felt the status and dignity of the head of the family.

The latter is more important to him!

Has he been keeping a low profile for so many years, just for this day?

The Supreme Elder is really too old!

It's like a toothless tiger, lying there and looking scary, but in fact, he doesn't even have the strength to stand up!

Even if facing a dog, as long as he is brave enough, the dying tiger is no match at all.

Of course, there are almost no dogs with such courage.

It doesn't matter if it barks a few times from a distance, but if it really rushes forward, the tiger's eyes can scare it to death.

So, Duan Yuanxin did it himself!

Although many people think he is a dog, a dog raised by the Supreme Elder.

But in fact, he knows very well in his heart that he is not a dog!

He is a lion in his prime!

When his wings were fully grown, when he was fully prepared, when he finally mustered up the courage to stab the dying old man's heart with a sword, he suddenly discovered that the great elder who was like a nightmare in his heart had actually become so weak.

That was a true god-level power!

An existence close to the peak of the god-level!

The old immortal who had lived for endless years, the ancestor who had been in charge of the Shangguan family for countless years!

He was stabbed to death on the spot with a sword.

Although his last blow before death was also quite fierce, even causing Duan Yuanxin to be injured a little, and the whole city to be injured a little.

But compared with his death, it was really insignificant.

The biggest thorn in his heart... was removed!

If there were not so many things, he almost wanted to stay overnight in the lady's room!

But at the last moment, he still held back.

The lady is a good person.

In the study.

One of the old men said with a smug look on his face: "Congratulations, Patriarch. Congratulations, Patriarch. In just a few days, 60% of the entire Tianhu Star... has been completely controlled by our people. The remaining 40% are all from major chaebols. They are still waiting and watching. I believe that as long as they are not stupid, they will know what to choose."

Another old man said: "Patriarch, about the recent rumor... should we clarify it? In addition, it also paves the way for bringing the wife back...?"

The third old man also nodded and said: "Yes, Patriarch, this matter should be taken seriously, otherwise, the rumor will spread more and more outrageous, and who knows what it will become in the end."

These three old men are all members of the Tianhu Duan Family Elders Council. They are the real people that Duan Yuanxin has secretly cultivated over the years!

These people can be said to be Duan Yuanxin's absolute confidants, diehards, and know all his secrets.

Duan Yuanxin showed a cold look on his face. As soon as he heard the rumor that was circulated recently, he knew it was from Duan Yong.

He sneered, "Haha, you finally couldn't help but fight back? Unfortunately, when he comes back, all his backers and wings have been cut off by me! What else can he use to fight me?"

"Master, that's the truth, but we shouldn't be careless." An old man said.

"Have the ambush at the entrance of the holy land been set up?" Duan Yuanxin asked.

"Master, it's all set up. Five grandmaster-level talisman masters have already set up the talisman array. As soon as he comes out, the talisman array will be activated immediately, and he will definitely die!" Another old man smiled, then looked at Duan Yuanxin and said, "Of course, the premise is that he can come out. If I'm not mistaken, his body...may be cold now?"

"Hahaha!" In the room, a group of people couldn't help laughing happily.

The backyard of the master of the Duan family.

The gentle and virtuous woman was trimming a rose with scissors, but accidentally got pricked by the sharp thorns on the rose.

Her realm is very low, less than the level 3 spiritual warrior.

I have never had this talent since I was a child, and I have never thought about practicing it.

So my skin is white and tender, and a drop of blood immediately flows out when I am pricked by a thorn.

"Madam, are you okay?" The maid beside me was shocked when she saw this.

If the master of the house saw this, being scolded would be the least of his punishment. This was because the lady had always protected the servants, otherwise they might have been dragged out and beaten to death.

"It's okay, don't make a fuss." The woman put her finger in her mouth, sucked it gently, and then glanced at the maid beside her: "Don't tell anyone else."

"Well, I know, madam!" The maid looked at the woman with respect.

The woman smiled slightly, continued to pick up the scissors, and cut the branch that looked not very neat.

Click!

With one cut, the crooked and uneven branch fell to the ground.

"Well, it looks much better this time." The woman showed a happy smile on her face.

The maid beside her couldn't help laughing.

The servants who were working over there all laughed.

Although they didn't know what they were laughing at, they were happy because the lady was happy.

But no one saw that when the lady laughed, there was no smile in her eyes.

Even in her eyes, there was a hint of deep coldness and hatred.

No body left?

You are the only one who has no body left!

If my son makes any mistake, I will seek justice for him even if I risk my life!

The woman handed the scissors to the maid beside her, and then whispered: "I am a little tired, go back and rest!"

"Okay, madam." The maid agreed, put away the scissors, and then helped the woman back to the room.

But she felt very distressed in her heart, madam was too weak!

She felt tired after cutting a few branches. I don't know what the head of the family thinks. Does the Duan family really lack spirit beads?

Can't the spirit beads be used to raise the madam's realm to a high-level spirit warrior, so that her physical strength will become stronger?

...

...

Inside the Tianhu Holy Land, it was about to reach the "gate".

Duan Yong and Bai Muye chatted all the way, messy, talking about everything.

The more they talked, the more speculative they became.

As an old soul from ancient times, Duan Yong has a wide range of knowledge!

Astronomy, geography, music, art, and various miscellaneous studies.

There is very little knowledge in this world that he has not dabbled in.

But this is nothing. As an old soul who has lived from ancient times to today, it seems nothing to know more.

The person who was really surprised was actually Duan Yong.

Because he was almost certain that the young man Bai Muye was different from him.

He was an old soul who "reincarnated" and re-leveled up.

But Bai Muye... is a real young genius!

Even though he was born in the Bai family, such a young man really knows too much knowledge.

How old is he!

Even if he started reading books since he was born, how much can he read?

He didn't know that Bai Muye's space ring contained a library of a large sect in ancient times!

And reading and studying is Xiaobai's favorite.

Xiaobai spends almost all of his free time reading books.

So Duan Yong, who had a good impression of Xiao Bai, began to appreciate this super genius at that time even more.

In his words: I am actually a person who has taken advantage of a lot. I have reincarnated and rebuilt with a vast amount of knowledge accumulated over endless years. So, in the words of playing games, I have opened a cheat! But Xiao Bai, you are different, you are really a peerless genius! Just like the young kings of my time, your talent... is amazing!

Bai Muye thought, you are reincarnated and rebuilt as a cheat?

Then what about my fortune liquid?

Stopping at the entrance, Duan Yong smiled at Bai Muye and said, "Actually, there is something I have never told you."

"What?" Bai Muye glanced at Duan Yong.

"My mother, although her spiritual power is very low and her realm is very poor, her mental power is still quite high. At least, it is not so easy for anyone to harm her." Duan Yong sighed faintly: "It's a pity that Duan Yunxin, that bastard, has been too strict with her over the years, otherwise, she would have already entered the god level!"

Bai Muye was slightly stunned, wondering what Duan Yong meant by this sentence.

Duan Yong smiled, but his eyes were slightly red, and he whispered: "My senior searched the entire Tianhu Star and chose a mother for me. How could she be a mortal?"

Duan Yong looked at Bai Muye and said: "Let's not talk about the past life, let's talk about this life. From now on, I recognize you, Bai Muye, as my brother!"

These words were a bit incoherent, but Bai Muye understood a little bit -

Duan Yong really cared about his mother in this life, and then, it seemed that some changes happened that he was not clear about now.

"The situation has changed. If we go out, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle!" Duan Yong laughed and looked at Bai Muye, "I recognize you as my brother, so you can stay here and go back to Tianhu! If one day, the person who comes in to find you is not me, then you will enter this place!"

As he spoke, Duan Yong threw a jade slip to Bai Muye: "There are several forbidden areas here, and there are ancient super beings inside. Well, they are of relatively mild temperament and will not do such things as taking over other people's bodies. You can seek shelter from them."

Bai Muye looked at Duan Yong and asked softly: "What happened?"

Duan Yong sighed and looked up to the sky: "That bastard, he launched an attack in advance. My senior is no longer here to stabilize him..."
