From Douluo Dalu to Queen

Chapter 165: Insurmountable Peak

Leng Xiyao didn’t know who made this skirt. She only knew that Tian Meng mentioned it at the beginning. She didn’t remember it very clearly. It seemed that it was someone from the Qin family, and her name was Fairy Mengyun.
"Her name should be Qin Mengyun. It is said that she spent ten years making this dress." Leng Xiyao looked at the excited Wen Gulan and said quickly.

"Mengyun. It's definitely her. There is absolutely no other person who can design this style." After receiving this answer, Wen Gulan's body suddenly trembled violently, and asked excitedly: "Have you seen her? Where is she now?"

Leng Xiyao knew at a glance that the elder sister in front of her must have a close relationship with Qin Mengyun, so she didn't keep the secret and said directly: "As far as I know, Qin Mengyun is the head of the Qin family, one of the seven major families. She is extremely powerful. I wonder what your relationship is with her?"

"The seven major families?" Upon hearing this background, Wen Gulan's excitement suddenly dimmed.

As a Titled Douluo, Wen Gulan certainly knew what the seven major families meant, but because of this, her burning heart felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on it.

Thinking of this, Wen Gulan found a pavilion and sat down. He took out a pot of wine from his waist, took out three wine glasses, and placed them in front of the seat. Then he asked Leng Xiyao and Qin Menglan, "Do you want to hear my story?"

Hearing this, Leng Xiyao directly pulled Qin Menglan to sit down and listened attentively. She loved listening to stories the most, especially the stories behind these powerful people.

"It was several decades ago, when I was still a teenager, I met a naive good sister named Qin Mengyun."

"We were just like you now, breaking through the constraints of the world, falling in love together, wishing to be together forever and never separate."

Recalling the past, a hint of happiness appeared on Wen Gulan's face. Then, she drank the wine in the glass in front of her and filled another glass.

Leng Xiyao took a quick glance and thought that the alcohol content of the wine was probably quite high. People with drinking capacity like her and Qin Menglan would probably get drunk in one gulp. However, Wen Gulan remained calm. It was obvious that she had probably been accompanied by fine wine for many days and nights in her life and had developed immunity to this level of alcohol.

"Both of us have innate soul powers of level eight, and our martial souls are also at a good level, but we don't like a life of fighting and killing, so we found a small town and opened a tavern. I also learned my cooking skills at that time."

"She likes weaving, and she weaves all kinds of exquisite clothes and sells them for money. After living like this for a long time, we have accumulated a considerable fortune. Although her progress in cultivation is slow, it is better than that of ordinary people, so naturally no one dares to mess with her."

Listening to the picture described by Wen Gulan, Leng Xiyao couldn't help but feel a little yearning: "Ah, I also want to live that kind of life."

"Don't ever have such thoughts." Hearing Leng Xiyao's thoughts, Wen Gulan's expression suddenly became serious: "Strength is the only criterion in this world. Never be greedy for a moment of leisure and make yourself regret for the rest of your life."

Wen Gulan sighed and continued, "After five or six years of our leisurely life, a group of men in black suddenly broke into our home and forcibly took my sister Mengyun away, claiming that they wanted to welcome the eldest lady home."

"Among that group of black-clothed men, the lowest one is Soul Douluo, and there are as many as three Titled Douluo."

"I tried to resist but it was no use. I didn't even know who they were."

"Fortunately, they didn't kill me for Meng Yun's sake. After that, I practiced desperately and eventually became a Titled Douluo."

"Before you came, I also guessed Meng Yun's identity based on her name. Her last name is Qin, and she is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. It's actually quite easy to guess."

"But guesswork is just guesswork after all. If you try to hit a rock with an egg just because of your own idea, it would undoubtedly be a foolish act."

Having said that, Wen Gulan simply gave up the cup and picked up the wine jug to drink, as if she felt that the cup was too small.

Leng Xiyao looked at Wen Gulan in front of her with eyes full of admiration. It can be said that the other party was the most inspirational person she had ever met since she came to Douluo Continent for so long!
Those who dare to break the ethical standards with their sisters in Douluo Continent are the bravest among the brave. They are much stronger than Leng Xiyao who has an open mind in her previous life!
What's more, he has been working day after day to find his little sisters for decades. Now he has become a Titled Douluo and has established such a family business. If he were an ordinary person, he would have already sunk into the happiness brought by power and status.

But Wen Gulan still did not give up her original goal. Even now that she knew her enemy was the Qin family, she was not afraid at all. What is true love? This is it!
"But sister, if your sister Mengyun is now the head of the Qin family, with your current power, it would probably take her less than a day to find you, right? Then why..." At this point, Leng Xiyao suddenly realized something and couldn't say the next words.

Judging from Wen Gulan's current decadent state, Leng Xiyao could also imagine that their relationship was no worse than that between her and Qin Menglan.

With Wen Gulan's current reputation, he could be found with just a little inquiry in Tiandou City. What's more, Qin Mengyun is the head of the Qin family, and his influence network spreads across the entire continent. Is it possible that the other party would not even come to Tiandou City?

This only means that the other party has no intention of looking for it at all.

Either Qin Mengyun was brainwashed after being brought back to the family, or the other party was immersed in the benefits brought by power and status and didn't want to look for Wen Gulan again.

No matter which one it is, it seems extremely tragic. No wonder Wen Gulan is so depressed. After all, the other party has already forgotten her. What's the point of meeting him again?
"It is precisely because I know this that I don't want to guess that she is from the Qin family. I hope that she was taken away by a small family and they just didn't find her." Wen Gulan was already drunk at this moment, with two red blushes on her face. Where was the dignity of a Titled Douluo?

Then, she said self-deprecatingly: "But all this is just self-deception. This is the way the world is. How can there be anything perfect?"

"Sister, don't be anxious. Everything in this world is unknown. What if she was just deceived by the people below and has no idea about you?" Seeing that Wen Gulan was so depressed, Leng Xiyao held her hand and advised her.

"That's possible." Wen Gulan looked disinterested and said indifferently, "But the Qin family is an insurmountable peak for me. Even if it's really like what you said, I can't change anything."
