Chapter 1436: Wei Xiaobao: Aba!
Editor: Atlas Studios
“Jiang Guanchao, are you crazy!”
Ji Minglou was really angered.
He covered his bloody nose and gritted his teeth as he scolded, “How did Heavenly Jade Hall offend you?”
Jiang Guanchao said casually, “Who asked you to suddenly approach me? Don’t you know that I hate it when others get close?”
Ji Minglou said angrily, “Who approached you? I’m delivering food to Shuang’er! You’re blocking the way yourself, yet you blame me. Jiang Guanchao, if I don’t teach you a lesson today, do you really think I’m afraid of you!”
Ji Minglou immediately fought with Jiang Guanchao.
Ji Minglou had indeed not used his full strength when sparring with Jiang Guanchao last night. The reason why he was ambushed just now was because he was unprepared.
If he fought with all his heart, he could still fight Jiang Guanchao.
“Both of you, stop!”
Yun Shuang flashed between the two of them and slapped each of them, forcefully separating them.
“Shuang’er, you—”
Ji Minglou’s attack was too fierce and he did not have time to retract his Space Shattering Palm. Moreover, Yun Shuang had attacked the two of them at the same time. This time, he was afraid—
Jiang Guanchao’s robe moved, and a cold internal force slowly entered Yun Shuang’s arm.
Ji Minglou felt a chill in his palm. The Space Shattering Palm seemed to have frozen in an instant, and his entire body was frozen!
Right on the heels of that, he was blasted away by that internal force!
He took a few steps back and glanced at Yun Shuang before looking at Jiang Guanchao on the other side of Yun Shuang. A trace of shock flashed across his eyes.
Yun Shuang said coldly, “This is the Wei family. If you want to cause trouble, go somewhere else!”
Jiang Guanchao fell silent.
Yun Shuang left the two of them behind.
Jiang Guanchao also walked into the residence.
When he brushed past Ji Minglou, he was stopped by him. “Alliance Master Jiang, what do you mean by this?”
Jiang Guanchao did not answer him. Instead, he said unrestrainedly, “You’re not my match. Remember to take a detour the next time you see me.”
“Palace Lord Yun just left. You came at the wrong time.”
“Of course I’m here to ask. Are you satisfied with how I cured your poison?”
“Hall Master Ji, in what capacity are you thanking Palace Lord Yun? Are you her husband or her lover?”
“What makes you think she didn’t marry because of you?”
Ji Minglou finally sensed that something was wrong.
With Jiang Guanchao’s personality, it was impossible for him to interfere in other people’s business, nor could he save unrelated people time and time again.
Yun Shuang did whatever she wanted on the island, and so did Jiang Guanchao.
The Hundred Flowers Palace and the Assassin Alliance were the two most isolated sects on Thousand Mountain Island.
They were also the two sects furthest away from each other. They minded their own business and never interacted with each other.
However, ever since they came to the Great Zhou, the interaction between the two of them… had clearly increased.
“Jiang Guanchao, stop!”
Ji Minglou tried to stop Jiang Guanchao.
Jiang Guanchao ignored him and strode away.
Ji Minglou chased him all the way to the small garden and used his qinggong to block his path. He looked at him solemnly. “Jiang Guanchao, do you have improper thoughts about Shuang’er?”
Jiang Guanchao looked at him disdainfully. “What does it have to do with you?”
Ji Minglou said coldly, “You kill people like flies and your subordinates are covered in blood. You’re not worthy of Shuang’er at all! You and Shuang’er are from two different worlds. Although she looks cold, she’s actually kind-hearted. She saved as many people as you killed. Shuang’er once said that if she can dominate Thousand Mountain Island one day, the first person to be eliminated will be your Assassin Alliance! A righteous woman like her will never like a man full of sin!”
“Assassin Alliance? Our Hundred Flowers Palace is irreconcilable with you!”
“I, I, I… So what if I’m thirteen? Can’t I beat you when I’m thirteen? Take off your mask if you dare and let me see how old you are!”
“With me and my second sister around today, no one is allowed to kill the innocent!”
“Just you wait, killer weapon! One day, I’ll destroy your Assassin Alliance!”
Jiang Guanchao pinched his fingers and disappeared into the night with a cold expression.
–
At midnight, Wei Xu and the others, who had gone to chase after the Japanese assassins, returned.
There were many Japanese assassins who had infiltrated the Great Zhou this time. Only a portion of them had been accounted for last time.
It was not that he was lying, but that he only had this authority.
Through Wei Xu and the others, he continued to extort confessions and asked about more strongholds.
Wei Xu and the others returned for a meal, changed their clothes, brought their weapons, and scattered to various strongholds.
“Fourth Cousin!”
When the masked Rakshasa got on the horse, Su Xiaoxiao quickly chased after him. “Remember to go early and come back early! Don’t forget the Prince Consort selection!”
Su Xuan waved his hand in the night.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the man in white and shouted, “Baili Chen! If he doesn’t come back, remember to capture your junior brother!”
Baili Chen also waved his hand in the same posture.
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
“By the way, Alliance Master Jiang and Mother Palace Lord are back. Hurry up and ask them what they’ve been doing for the past day and night!”
She was worried, not gossiping!
After Yun Shuang returned, she was immediately entangled by the three little ones.
The three little ones and Wei Xiyue caught fireflies in the grass while Wei Xiaobao crawled around the pavilion.
Yun Shuang sat quietly, looking at the children and then at the scenery on the horizon.
Her expression was quiet, but there seemed to be a hint of confusion.
Madam Wei hung a mosquito repellent sachet on Wei Xiaobao and smiled at Yun Shuang. “Palace Lord Yun, are you homesick?”
Yun Shuang came back to her senses and said politely, “No, the night sky of the Great Zhou is different from on the island.”
Madam Wei smiled. “I really want to take a look at the island.”
“Abba-Abba!”
Wei Xiaobao, who was crawling on the ground, suddenly shouted not far away.
The two of them turned around and saw that it was Jiang Guanchao, who was passing by.
Madam Wei smiled and said, ” Logically speaking, such a young child shouldn’t be able to see so far. Looks like Alliance Master Jiang didn’t carry you all the way for nothing. You recognized him from afar.”
Wei Xiaobao crawled towards Jiang Guanchao. “Aba, Aba.”
In order to let the little fellow play to her heart’s content, Madam Wei had already spread a velvet blanket on the nearby path.
Wei Xiaobao crawled quickly and soon arrived at Jiang Guanchao’s feet.
The little girl sat down and grabbed Jiang Guanchao’s hem with her chubby hand. She raised her head and said, “Aba, Aba!”
Jiang Guanchao picked the little fellow up.
“I have something on. I’ll go back first.”
Yun Shuang stood up and bade farewell to Madam Wei.
Madam Wei smiled and nodded.
When they brushed past each other, Yun Shuang and Jiang Guanchao did not look at each other.
Wei Xiaobao tilted her head. “Woo?”
Jiang Guanchao carried Wei Xiaobao back to the pavilion and placed her on the ground for her to continue playing.
The pavilion was filled with golden things. Wei Xiaobao was tempted and quickly went to catch the golden treasures.
Jiang Guanchao said, “Madam Wei, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Madam Wei smiled and said, “If Alliance Master Jiang doesn’t mind, sit for a while.”
Jiang Guanchao thought for a moment and sat down on the stone stool beside Wei Xiaobao.
Madam Wei smiled and said, “There seems to be a misunderstanding between Palace Lord Yun and Alliance Master Jiang?”
Jiang Guanchao said, “We’re two incompatible sects on the island.”
Madam Wei asked curiously, “Is that so? I think Alliance Master Jiang and Palace Lord Yun are quite compatible. I thought you were childhood sweethearts.”
Jiang Guanchao said calmly, “She hates people like me the most.”
Madam Wei smiled and poured Jiang Guanchao a cup of tea. “What about Alliance Master Jiang? Do you hate Palace Lord Yun?”
“I…”
Jiang Guanchao picked up his teacup.
Madam Wei said, “The first person I knew was not Wei Xu, and my first fiancé was not him. He was my cousin who was betrothed to me before he was born.”
Jiang Guanchao looked at Madam Wei in surprise.
Madam Wei recalled, “I like to read. I thought that when I grew up, I would definitely marry a scholar who is well-read.”
Jiang Guanchao was even more surprised. “Then why did you marry a martial artist like Wei Xu?! His handwriting is not as good as mine!”
It was true that Jiang Guanchao was an assassin, but Nie Yangshan had not only taught him martial arts, but also taught him how to read and write.
Madam Wei said, “That’s right. I always felt that Cousin was the most perfect husband in my heart until I met the 16-year-old Wei Xu one day. He didn’t look refined at all. He was covered in dust and his hair was disheveled. He beat up my cousin the moment we met.”
Jiang Guanchao asked, “Why?”
Madam Wei said, “He beat up the wrong person.”
Jiang Guanchao was speechless.
