Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Who is it?”
Ling Yun said, “Granny Ghost, Nie Jinfeng.” Xiaohu listened and immediately imitated him. “Granny Ghost! Granny Ghost!”
“You have to call her Granny,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Xiaohu shook his head. “Granny, Granny!”
Erhu played with the stone. With a bang, the small stone hit the water which splashed on the faces of Xiaohu and Dahu.
The three brothers quarreled in the basin.
It was not that Su Xiaoxiao had never guessed this, but she was still shocked to hear it from Ling Yun.
“It’s really Granny Ghost…”
Ling Yun looked at her and said, “What do you mean?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “She’s Nie Xiaozhu’s Grandma. Her temperament and personality are very similar to the rumored Granny Ghost. In addition, her martial arts are powerful… I guessed she could be Granny Ghost. However, why is her grandson’s surname also Nie? Her husband is the master of the Assassin Alliance’s Alliance Master. I’ve never heard of him being her live-in son-in-law. Or are they both surnamed Nie?”
Ling Yun answered her doubts. “Her original name is Jin Feng. After she got married, she took her husband’s surname. That’s an old custom. It’s no longer the same on the island.”
Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened. “I see.”
After a pause, Su Xiaoxiao continued, “I think she’s quite old, but her daughter-in-law is quite young, and her grandson is so young.”
Granny Ghost looked to be about the same age as Matriarch Wei and Matriarch Su.
However, Matriarch Wei’s great-grandson was already four years old, and Matriarch Su’s eldest grandson, Su MO, was already in his twenties.
Ling Yun said, “She only had a son when she was almost 40 years old.”
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “I’ve lived in the Nie family for so long, but I’ve never seen her son. I’m too shy to ask.”
Ling Yun looked at her skeptically.
It was as if he was asking if there were times when she was shy.
Su Xiaoxiao had a serious expression. “I don’t think you want to eat snacks anymore.”
Ling Yun cleared his throat. “Her son is a little useless and isn’t good to his wife. He was chased out by her.”
Wow, this was a sober mother-in-law.
No wonder Xiao Ruyan was still very close to her even though she always had a straight face.
However, what was going on with Granny Ghost’s son? How could he not cherish a woman like Xiao Ruyan?
She was still a little excited that she had accidentally moved into Granny Ghost’s house.
To think that she had found it without any effort!
A thought flashed across Su Xiaoxiao’s mind.
Seeing her serious expression and silly smile, Ling Yun couldn’t help but ask,
“What are you thinking about?”
“Oh.” Su Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and said seriously, “Actually, I’m quite surprised that you’re the young master of the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
Ling Yun sized her up. “Is that so? I don’t feel it.”
Su Xiaoxiao: Do you have to be so direct?
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes flashed as she asked with a smile, “Your Hundred Flowers Palace seems to have a good relationship with Granny Ghost?”
Ling Yun said indifferently, “If you’re referring to the Nie family sending the Phoenix Flower seeds to the Hundred Flowers Palace, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you. The reason why Granny Ghost is willing to send the seeds is because she wants to take a few Phoenix eggs regularly.” Su Xiaoxiao: “Huh?”
“Her grandson likes it,” Ling Yun said.
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched.
Su Xiaoxiao returned to the topic. “Can she really resolve the Heart Guide?”
Ling Yun said, “She’s the last descendant of the Heart Guidance Secret
Technique. We can only ask her if there’s a solution. You want to resolve the
Rakshasa Heart Guidance, right?”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Yes, the Luosha Heart Guide was planted by the Alliance Master of the Assassin Alliance, but its secret technique was passed down from
Granny Ghost.”
Ling Yun said, “The Alliance Master of the Assassin Alliance only learned half of it. Granny Ghost didn’t teach him the other half. After all, she’s only his wife, not his master. There’s no need for her to teach him everything. However, after her husband passed away, she stopped interacting with others. No one on the island can ask her to help.” Su Xiaoxiao fell into deep thought.
“But. ‘
Ling Yun spoke again.
Su Xiaoxiao looked up at him. “Tell me.”
Ling Yun said calmly, “That old elder surnamed Qiu in your residence… Granny
Ghost, is chasing after him. If you hand him over, you might be able to get Granny Ghost to agree to your request.”
He was asking her to sabotage her master and compromise her integrity.
The Head of the Secret Service was very bad, and so was this guy!
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I’ll definitely think of a way!”
On the other side, the Palace Lord, who had hurriedly changed into 17 sets of clothes, finally came out of Peony Pavilion.
Her hair had also been combed again and tied into a complicated bun that she had only worn when she reached adulthood. She wore the most expensive jewelry, in a show of her sincerity to meet her daughter-in-law.
The disciples on the way were all stunned by her beauty.
She had always been beautiful, but it was not an exaggeration to say that she was like a fairy when she dressed up.
The Palace Lord said fiercely, “What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen me before?”
The disciples lowered their heads one after another. Be it the male or female disciples, their ears were red.
Time had never failed a beauty.
These words were true.
The rain had stopped by now, but the ground was covered in muddy rain.
In order not to dirty her skirt, she used her qinggong all the way to Ling Yun’s palace.
She landed lightly on the limestone path in the courtyard. She raised her hand to adjust the pearl hairpin on her head and checked her sleeve and jade belt.
After confirming that she was dressed appropriately, she walked towards the room.
At this moment, Sihu, which had heard its master’s voice, rushed out of the exclusive horse shed that Ling Yun had built for him.
It spread its hooves and ran!
It was about to collide with the Palace Lord.
The Palace Lord’s eyes flickered as she soared into the air, dodging the Sihu’s charge.
The moment she landed, her purple dress bloomed in midair like a blooming purple lotus.
“Fortunately, my martial arts are peerless!”
She raised her eyebrows and landed back on the ground. She clapped her hands proudly and strode forward, stepping on the small stone that Erhu had thrown outside.
“Uh-ah…
She fell back and landed in a puddle of mud, which splattered all over her face.
When Ling Yun and Su Xiaoxiao heard the commotion, they hurriedly pushed open the door and walked out.
The two of them looked at the tragic Palace Lord in the mud pit.
The Palace Lord looked at the two of them.
The Palace Lord’s gaze swept across Su Xiaoxiao’s pregnant belly and landed on her cute round face. The corners of her mouth moved awkwardly.
“Daughter-in-law… how are you.”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
The Fire Slaughter Sect.
Wuhu’s’ small army had been out for two days. The golden eagle and falcon had all returned, but Wuhu and the black crow were nowhere to be found. The few of them sat in the lobby of the Fire Slaughter Sect.
Lu Aotian asked, “Did it get eaten by the big bird?” Wei Ting said, “No, Wuhu is very smart.”
Lu Aotian continued, “In that case, was it caught?” Wei Ting said, “Wuhu is very vigilant and won’t approach strangers easily.”
“It’s just a bird. Is it as powerful as you say?”
Anyway, Lu Aotian had never seen a creature like that.
Wei Ting looked at Lu Aotian. “Sect Master Lu, how’s the information about the
Hundred Flowers Palace?”
Lu Aotian said listlessly, “Oh, I heard that the Young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace is back.”
His jelly beans were gone.
He was so sad.
Wei Ting said seriously, “I suspect that the young Palace Lord of the Hundred Flowers Palace is Ling Yun. I’ll go to the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
Jing Yi said, “I’ll go too.” Wei Ting asked, “Can’t bear to part with your father?”
Jing Yi said, “Draw your sword.”
Wei Ting would not argue with his unfilial son. He asked Lu Aotian, “Where’s the Hundred Flowers Palace?”
Lu Aotian took out a sheepskin scroll impatiently. “Look at it yourself! ” Jing Yi spread out the sheepskin scroll. “What is this?”
Lu Aotian said heroically, “The map of Thousand Mountain Island! All the major sects are here!”
Jing Yi raised the sheepskin scroll with a confused expression. “Where are the major sects?”
There were clearly only circles.
Lu Aotian pointed at the map and said, “This saber is our Fire Slaughter Sect! This flower is the Hundred Flowers Palace! I drew it myself! There’s only one on the island!”
Jing Yi’s expression was even more indescribable.
Saber? Flower?
Was he sure it was not a fire poker and stone?
Jing Yi couldn’t understand.
It was Wei Ting who brought the map over and understood it in no time.
Wei Ting took his sword. “Alright, let’s go.”
Jing Yi looked at him in shock.
Wei Ting raised his eyebrows. “You have to hand it to your father.” Jing Yi drew his sword.
The terrain at the Hundred Flowers Palace was remote, and it was quite a distance from the Fire Slaughter Sect.
In order to prevent anyone from following them, the two of them did not take the carriage.
Fortunately, the two of them had good qinggong. However, they were drenched in the rain halfway.
Just as the two of them were about to infiltrate the Hundred Flowers Palace, a watery leaf landed on Wei Ting’s head.
JingYi said, “Your head is a little green..”
