Chapter 161 Speechless Xue Qinghe
After traveling around the Kingdom of Silves, he sent a letter to his elder brother Di Yang. He hoped that all the fire ore could be mined and sent to him. Weapons forged with fire iron were very good.

He has used that sword for decades and it's still not broken.

If he wanted to refine a divine weapon, fire iron would be a very good choice, along with the dragon's bones.

It is not easy to mine the fire ore, especially to mine it all, but he has time and can wait.

After leaving the Kingdom of Silves, he went directly to the Haotian Sect.

After the Haotian Sect went into seclusion, they rarely went out, and not many people knew where the Haotian Sect lived in seclusion.

The place where Haotian Sect is hidden from the world is also surrounded by mountains, which looks like a natural pass. Di Hong's carriage came to the outskirts, where there is a small village. Most of the people living here are descendants of Haotian Sect's collateral branches.

It is also the outpost of Haotian Sect. If you want to invade Haotian Sect, you must fight your way in from here.

After the carriage entered the village, it was not stopped. They all knew who the owner of the carriage was, so there was no need to stop it.

After leaving the village, the carriage stopped at the foot of an extremely steep mountain. The mountain in front of us was almost vertical, but there were many depressions on the smooth rock wall.

Di Hong got off the carriage and jumped into the air. In just a blink of an eye, he reached the top of the mountain. Looking forward from the top of the mountain, there was no road. Only an iron chain about a kilometer long connected the mountain under Di Hong's feet with the opposite mountain.

The iron chain was obscured by clouds and fog, and it was basically invisible if you were not very familiar with it.

Di Hong did not step on the iron chain. He could fly and did not need to go through the iron chain. With just one leap, he reached the opposite mountain, and then he crossed several other mountains.

Arriving at the fifth mountain, this is where the Haotian Sect resides in seclusion.

Standing outside the Haotian Sect, looking at the castle built with pure stone against the mountain in front of you, this castle is basically integrated with the mountain, or it can be said that it is part of the mountain.

When the guarding disciples of Haotian Sect saw Di Hong coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute and then opened the door for him.

It takes two disciples to open the gate of Haotian Sect.

After entering Haotian Sect, Di Hong went straight to find Tang Xiao.

When he found Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao was handling sect affairs. Since he had secluded himself from the world, he felt much more relaxed and had more time to practice. From the time he broke through to the Titled Douluo until now, in just twelve years, his soul power level has reached level ninety-five, not far from level ninety-six.

Di Hong's sudden arrival surprised him a little.

Especially when he saw that it was Di Hong himself who came, he was even more surprised. He could no longer see the strength of Di Hong now. His aura was restrained and there was no detectable fluctuation of soul power, just like an ordinary person.

But he could feel a sense of pressure.

He could conclude that Di Hong's strength was now extremely terrifying, and he would definitely not be able to defeat him.

"How did you come?"

Di Hong is basically in seclusion, and those who walk around outside are his clones. Why is he suddenly coming out now?

Di Hong walked to the sofa nearby and sat down.

"I went to see Tang Hao."

"Huh?" Tang Xiao was surprised.

"Have you found Brother Hao?"

Ever since the great battle six years ago, he had lost any news of Tang Hao and didn't know where he was.

Di Hong nodded: "Is there anyone in this Douluo Continent that I can't find?"

"How is he now?" Tang Xiao asked.

Di Hong said: "Well, he is now living in seclusion in a small village as a blacksmith. He gets drunk all day and has to rely on his son to cook for him."

"Son?" Tang Xiao looked confused.

"Yes, he has a son, the son he had with Ah Yin, named Tang San. He is six years old this year and just awakened his martial spirit not long ago. But I don't know the details."

Tang Xiao was very pleased, but also a little sad.

"Perhaps this is the best ending for Brother Hao."

He felt relieved to know that Tang Hao was fine. Tang Hao was drunk all day and no longer as high-spirited as he was in the past. He also knew the reason. How could he not be depressed when his beloved passed away? "Okay, let's not talk about him. You must have come to me to tell me this."

"That's right." Di Hong said, "I really have something to do here. I want to learn forging."

"Ah?" Tang Xiao looked at him in confusion.

"Why do you learn these?"

Di Hong said calmly: "Of course it's refining equipment."

"I want to refine a divine weapon."

"Okay, I will teach you the sect's forging method, but how far you can learn is up to you." Tang Xiao did not refuse. If Di Hong wanted to learn it, then just give it to him. It was not some secret method of the sect.

"If you need help, you can come to me directly. Although I am not as good as a master craftsman, I am not bad either."

Di Hong hummed and nodded.

After lunch, he left.

Then, he went back to Tiandou City to meet Tang Yuehua. Di Yuan is now by Xue Qinghe's side every day and has almost become his bodyguard. This was what Xue Qinghe requested from Xue Ye, and Xue Ye naturally agreed.

So Di Yuan stayed by Xue Qinghe's side every day.

He didn't care, since he had nothing to do anyway.

After chatting with Tang Yuehua for a while, Di Hong returned to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire to meditate.

However, the difference this time was that he did not leave his clone in Tiandou City, but in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. The clone stayed in the small courtyard, which also confused Xue Ye. After all, everyone knew about this small courtyard and Dugu Bo lived here, but no one knew about the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

Inside the palace.

Xue Qinghe was handling some government affairs, and Xue Ye had now handed over some unimportant matters to him in order to train his administrative abilities.

He handled government affairs while Di Yuan sat there painting.

After finishing, Xue Qinghe looked at Di Yuan who was concentrating on painting with curiosity.

"Xiao Yuan, what are you drawing? Why are you so serious?"

In the past, he didn't paint every day, but only occasionally. But now he basically never puts down his drawing board. As long as he is not practicing, he will paint.

Di Yuan ignored him and continued to paint attentively. But after painting for a while, he suddenly tore off the drawing paper and burned it.

"Why is it burning again?" Xue Qinghe asked.

Di Yuan shook his head: "It's not drawn well, draw it again."

Then he took out a new piece of drawing paper and started drawing.

Xue Qinghe walked behind him. Although he had just started drawing, he could tell that Di Yuan was drawing a person.

"You're not still drawing that girl, are you?"

Di Yuan nodded and did not deny it.

"It's been three years, aren't you tired of painting her?" Xue Qinghe was stunned. She had only met Di Yuan once in her original appearance without saying a word, and yet Di Yuan had been painting her for three years. However, it seemed that Di Yuan had never painted a complete painting.

Di Yuan didn't even know who she was or what her name was.

Often the painting would be burned when it was halfway through or almost finished.

"What kind of girl is this that you can't forget her so much?" Xue Qinghe asked.

Emperor Yuan said: "A peerless beauty."

Xue Qinghe was speechless after hearing these words. He rolled his eyes helplessly. At that time, she was only thirteen years old and hadn't fully grown yet. How could he tell that she was such a stunning beauty?
Di Yuan kept drawing her, and she couldn't stop him.

If I had known earlier, I would not have shown up. Now I have caused such trouble.
