Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Su Xiaoxiao finished treating the Saintess, she came out of the house and saw a figure hiding sneakily outside the railing of the corridor.

She walked closer to take a look. “Sister Xiao?”

“Shh…’

Xiao Ruyan hurriedly gestured for her to keep quiet. She pulled her hand and let her hide outside the railing with her.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at her in confusion.

She gestured for Su Xiaoxiao to look over.

Su Xiaoxiao looked over and saw that Elder Qiu, who had just gone out, was blocked by Granny Ghost.

Elder Qiu did not know whether to leave or not. He looked very anxious.

Granny Ghost had her back facing them. Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t see her expression, but she felt that her back was filled with killing intent. Su Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice, “Are we handing a knife to Granny?”

Xiao Ruyan was speechless.

Was it really okay to sell your husband’s master like this?

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you trying to run again?” Granny Nie said sarcastically.

Old Qiu silently raised his foot to the right.

A flying knife suddenly shot out of Granny Nie’s sleeve and stabbed at his feet!

Elder Qiu retracted his right foot and silently raised his left foot.

Granny Nie looked at him coldly and did not even blink. Another knife flew out and stabbed at his left foot!

Elder Qiu was at a loss and inexplicably felt a little innocent.

Xiao Ruyan covered her mouth and secretly laughed.

Perhaps sensing the commotion, Elder Qiu looked up.

Xiao Ruyan hurriedly lowered her body with Su Xiaoxiao.

Granny Nie asked angrily, ‘Where are you looking?”

Elder Qiu hesitated.

Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ruyan squatted on the lawn and quietly stuck out half their heads to size up the two of them without blinking.

Su Xiaoxiao asked curiously, “Sister Xiao, what entanglement does Granny have with Senior?”

Xiao Ruyan kept him in suspense. “Guess.” Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “Childhood sweetheart?”

Xiao Ruyan shook her head. “Guess again.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Senior Brother and Sister?”

Xiao Ruyan shook her head again.

“Vengeance target.”

A familiar voice suddenly appeared behind them. The two of them trembled and turned around in shock.

“Palace Lord.” “Mother.”

DIHI.

Palace Lord squeezed between the two of them and squatted down.

Xiao Ruyan was a little embarrassed.

The Palace Lord was not embarrassed at all.

If not for the fact that she was injured, she would have carried the wine pot over.

Su Xiaoxiao and her looked at Xiao Ruyan gossipily.

Xiao Ruyan smiled awkwardly. “That I also heard it casually. Elder Qiu isn’t from the island. I’m not sure where he came from exactly. When my mother-in-law was young, she went out to sea with her parents and got to know Elder Qiu. She also invited Old Qiu to the island as a guest. Old Qiu stayed in the Jin family for a few years. My mother-in-law learned her medical skills from him.”

Su Xiaoxiao blinked. ‘Master and disciple?”

Xiao Ruyan said, “They’ve never done the apprenticeship ceremony. Granny has always addressed him as Elder.”

Not far away, Granny Nie and Elder Qiu seemed to have fallen out.

Granny Nie attacked.

Elder Qiu jumped up and down!

Su Xiaoxiao’s expression was complicated.

Was Senior really…

“And then?” Palace Lord asked as she munched on melon seeds. Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Mom, where did you get the melon seeds?” The Palace Lord took out her pouch. It was a heavy bag. “Here.”

Su Xiaoxiao also started munching. “Sister Xiao, do you want it?”

Xiao Ruyan shook her head.

“Continue, ” said the Palace Lord.

Xiao Ruyan did not dare to disobey the Palace Lord’s orders.

“Later on, one day, the Jin family held a martial arts competition. As the last descendant of the Jin family, my mother- in-law’s martial arts were unfathomable and she defeated countless men on the island… She only lost to Elder Qiu.”

The Palace Lord asked, “Elder Qiu went to a martial arts competition to get a wife? Then why did your mother-in-law marry Nie Guangshan later?”

Xiao Ruyan said, “On the second day of the Joust For A Spouse Festival, Elder Qiu suddenly disappeared from the island. The Jin family can’t afford to be humiliated. They announced to the public that person who won the Joust For A Spouse Festival died.”

When Granny Nie hosted the Joust for a Spouse Festival, the Palace Lord was still young.

When she grew up, Granny Nie had already married into the Nie family for many years. The old Palace Lord naturally wouldn’t tell her such a trivial matter.

The Palace Lord and Su Xiaoxiao stared at Xiao Ruyan without blinking.

Xiao Ruyan could only bite the bullet and continue, “Elder Qiu left for many years. When he returned to Thousand Mountains Island, my mother-in-law’s son was already born. Elder Qiu also seemed to have changed into a different person. In the past, when he was in the Jin family, he was very well-behaved. Every day, he would only go up the mountain to pick herbs and study medicine. But this time, he began to challenge various large sects everywhere. If he won, he would learn a martial art from others.”

Palace Lord muttered, “I know that.”

Elder Qiu’s reputation began with challenging the various sects.

The challenge was nothing, and it was not strange for him to win.

What was heaven-defying was that he had really learned so many martial arts. The Palace Lord said, “How did Elder Qiu challenge your mother-in-law?”

Xiao Ruyan sighed and said, “He challenged the Nie family. He didn’t know that the Madam of the Nie family was my mother-in-law. Then, he lost.”

The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched.

How could he not lose?

Her mother-in-law had accumulated anger for decades.

The Palace Lord sighed. “I didn’t expect Granny Ghost and Old Qiu to have such a complicated past… If I were Granny Ghost, I wouldn’t forgive him easily.” After the Joust for a Spouse Festival, he left her behind and ran away.

What was this?

Su Xiaoxiao felt that something must have happened back then that forced Elder Qiu to leave Thousand Mountains Island.

Including his return to the island to challenge the various sects many years later, he seemed to have another goal.

Xiao Ruyan sighed helplessly and said, “I hope Elder Qiu has his difficulties. Otherwise, my mother-in-law might really kill him.”

Thinking of something, Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Didn’t anyone recognize Elder Qiu as the winner of the Joust For A Spouse Festival back then?”

Xiao Ruyan said, “No. During the martial arts competition, Elder Qiu was wearing a mask. Moreover, when Old Qiu lived in the Jin family for a few years, he had always kept a very low profile. Very few people on the island know that such a divine doctor came to the Jin family.”

On the other side, the two of them were fighting fiercely.

Granny Nie attacked mercilessly.

Elder Qiu did not attack and only defended. He used the Meteor Steps to the limit, making Granny Nie furious.

“Qiu, fight me if you dare!”

The Palace Lord couldn’t take her eyes off it.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Mother, aren’t you going to catch up on sleep?”

Palace Lord had the habit of taking an afternoon nap, but she didn’t nap today.

Palace Lord said, “I’m not sleepy.”

She wanted to see the fight.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Ruyan again. “Sister Xiao…”

Xiao Ruyan slowly stood up and said in all seriousness, “Ahem, ahem, it’s better for me, as a daughter-in-law, to watch less of Mother-in-law’s liveliness. ”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I wanted to ask you to help me take care of the Palace Lord.”

Xiao Ruyan squatted back in a second. “Alright!”

Su Xiaoxiao also wanted to stay and watch the battle, but it was time for her to change the IV drips for Su Xuan and the Saintess.

She went into the room where Su MO was quietly guarding Su Xuan. Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “Cousin, go rest. I’ll wake you up when Fourth Cousin wakes up.”

Su MO said, “Is your fourth cousin out of danger?”

Su Xiaoxiao said truthfully, “Not yet.”

Su MO said, “How long will it take?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “If he can wake up in 12 hours, he can escape danger..”
