Their daughter was already engaged, but after going out to gain experience, she brought back a man. If this got out, the reputation of the Kao Shan Gang would be ruined.
Su Jiuyin planned to resolve the matter at home first, and then personally take Su Xiaoxiao to Iron City to apologize.
However, he miscalculated one thing: inviting her first and then stopping her would only thoroughly enrage Dugu Meng.
Dugu Meng has a bad temper, but this time she has been enduring it in order to facilitate an alliance between the two factions, and it concerns her beloved son's lifelong happiness.
As a result, Su Jiuyin's behavior became increasingly outrageous, which angered Dugu Meng so much that she immediately led Dugu Qiusheng back to demand an explanation.
Seeing Dugu Meng charging towards her in a rage, Su Jiuyin sighed, knowing that this matter was beyond saving.
Dugu Meng, who was initially furious, suddenly calmed down when she saw Su Xiaoxiao and smiled, "My dear niece, do you still remember me?"
"Who are you?" Su Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow, completely unable to recall ever having seen Dugu Meng before.
She has a classic oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, and a rosy complexion; she is quite beautiful.
However, in Dugu Qiusheng's view, this girl was fickle and promiscuous, only suitable for playing with, not for marriage.
Just as Su Jiuyin was about to reprimand her, she heard Su Xiaoxiao plead, "Father, please grant my marriage to Yanmo soon."
Yama was still kneeling on the ground, as Su Xiaoxiao had specifically instructed him to do so, until Su Jiuyin's heart softened.
"Father, did you hear that?" Dugu Qiusheng felt extremely pleased.
Dugu Meng frowned, took a few steps forward, stood in front of Yan Mo, and said in a cold voice, "Are you Qiu Wuwei's disciple?"
"Lord Dugu has a good memory," Yama laughed.
Dugu Meng chuckled and turned to Su Jiuyin, saying, "Su Jiuyin, I am ashamed of my own scheming. Even if the three sects join forces, what does my Iron Enclosure City have to fear?"
"Brother Dugu, let me explain..." Su Jiuyin's head was buzzing, her thoughts were a tangled mess, and she couldn't sort them out no matter what.
Dugu Meng flicked her sleeve and said, "Sheng'er, let's go."
"So effeminate, I wouldn't even look at her." Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Dugu Qiusheng and thought that Dugu Qiusheng was not even as good as a single hair of Yama's pubic hair.
Dugu Qiusheng stopped and turned to look at him coldly.
Su Xiaoxiao said arrogantly, "How could a little calf like you, who came from some back alley, be worthy of your great-aunt?"
“Su Xiaoxiao…” Su Jiuyin was furious and raised her hand to strike.
Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head back and said angrily, "Dad, you can hit me if you want, but if you're so capable, you might as well kill your grandson too."
She placed her right hand lightly on her lower abdomen, her arrogant expression utterly infuriating.
But no matter how hard Su Jiuyin tried, she couldn't bring herself to slap him.
"Fickle and fickle." Dugu Qiusheng chuckled and followed Dugu Meng away.
Su Xiaoxiao was furious upon hearing this and shouted, "What did you say?"
"Shut up, aren't you ashamed enough?" Su Jiuyin was so angry that her chest ached and her face turned pale.
Su Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue, grabbed Su Jiuyin's arm, and giggled, "Dad, I knew you loved me the most!"
Su Jiuyin glanced at Yan Mo and asked, "Does your master know about this?"
"This junior has informed my master that it was my master who sent me to Kaoshan City to propose marriage," Yanmo replied, kneeling on the ground and clasping his hands in greeting.
To counter Shushan and Dengtiange, the alliance between Kaoshanbang and Tieweicheng is the only option.
However, if the Kao Shan Gang has the opportunity to re-ally with the Shu Shan and Deng Tian Ge alliance, that would probably be the best option.
However, Su Jiuyin still harbored doubts about Yanmo's identity.
As far as he knew, Qiu Wuwei had only one disciple, and it was this disciple who had formed a marriage alliance with Dengtiange.
Su Jiuyin then invited a doctor, who took Su Xiaoxiao's pulse and confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.
Su Jiuyin sighed deeply, feeling that this was just fate playing tricks on people.
"Father, don't look so gloomy. If our three sects join forces, we will soon be able to eliminate Iron Enclosure City. After obtaining Iron Enclosure City's cultivation resources, our three sects will no longer have any disputes. Wouldn't it be better if we could all cultivate immortality happily together then?" It has to be said that Su Xiaoxiao is quite good at comforting people.
These words at least made Su Jiuyin feel much better.
With limited cultivation resources and four sects in control, there simply aren't enough to go around.
However, if one faction exits the historical stage, the other three factions will be satisfied.
But this satisfaction is bound to be temporary. Even if the three factions unite through marriage, they will eventually fight to the death.
After all, the more resources one has, the greater the chance of becoming an immortal.
...
After leaving Kaoshan City, Dugu Meng stopped on a mountaintop, looking at the stunning scenery ahead, her heart heavy.
Dugu Qiusheng said, "Father, don't look so gloomy. This isn't necessarily a bad thing."
"Not a bad thing? Sheng'er, you don't naively think that our Iron Enclosure City can defeat the alliance of the three factions, do you?" Dugu Meng was not as optimistic as her son.
Once the three factions form an alliance, they will then head straight for Iron City.
Iron City is known as the city of hell, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But Dugu Meng wasn't confident enough to stand against the alliance of the three factions with just the Iron City.
Dugu Qiusheng said, "Father, perhaps we need to find another ally."
"Look elsewhere?" Dugu Meng frowned.
Dugu Qiusheng laughed and said, "This continent is vast, and it is not just the four of us. In fact, the four of us are like caged birds. It is more like protection than exile."
"Sheng'er, this idea of yours is dangerous. You shouldn't think about it again." Dugu Meng sighed and continued on her way.
Dugu Qiusheng had his own thoughts. Now that he saw Dugu Meng's temples turning gray, he knew he could no longer be cynical and had to step up and help his father share the burden.
He hadn't run far when Dugu Qiusheng suddenly spotted a familiar figure.
The man was sitting by the river, his feet in the water, gnawing on a deer leg.
It's Bianlang.
Dugu Qiusheng was filled with curiosity about Bian Lang.
He immediately reined in his horse and leaped over.
"Brother Bian, what a coincidence!" Dugu Qiusheng greeted him with a smile.
Bian Lang stretched out the deer leg towards Bian Lang and asked with a smile, "Want some?"
"No, no, I just ate a pancake," Dugu Qiusheng said with a smile.
Bian Lang was actually reluctant to give it to Dugu Qiusheng, since the roasted deer leg was very fragrant and he needed to save some for dinner.
"Give me some." Dugu Meng walked over from the side.
During his break just now, he really had no appetite when faced with the hard, flatbread.
But now, smelling the aroma of venison, my mouth is watering so much I can hardly swallow it all.
Bian Lang glanced at him sideways and asked, "Who are you?"
"Brother Bian, this is my father, Dugu Meng," Dugu Qiusheng introduced with a smile.
Bian Lang sighed and said reluctantly, "Since he is Brother Dugu's father, we naturally cannot be impolite."
Dugu Meng thought that you had been very rude, but she still took the venison that Bian Lang tore off and handed her, and took a bite. It was indeed a rare delicacy.
Bian Lang put away the deer leg, washed his hands in the river, and asked with a smile, "Brother Dugu, are you going to be taken back by your own father?"
