Chapter 1438: The Truth
Editor: Atlas Studios
Summer in the capital was hotter than on Thousand Mountains Island. This year, it was even hotter. Wei Xiaobao, who was born on Thousand Mountains Island, successfully became a little fat dried fish.
She stuck out her tongue and lay soullessly on the cotton-wrapped ice lump.
The three little ones were not inferior either. They each carried a small ice lump and looked like three greedy waiters.
The cloth bag that Madam Wei sewed was neither thin nor thick. It would not freeze them, but it could let them feel the cold air.
However, the best summer vacation weapon was not the ice lump in the cloth bag, but Jiang Guanchao.
When he meditated and circulated his energy, the cold energy in his meridians surged. He was a human-shaped iceberg.
Especially since this iceberg could be climbed and did not melt.
As long as Jiang Guanchao meditated in his room, his body would be covered in little balls.
Xiaohu lay on one of his long and powerful legs, feeling so comfortable that he kicked his feet.
Erhu lay on his other leg and played with his stone.
It was rare for Dahu not to ride on the neck. He imitated Jiang Guanchao and meditated.
“Grandpa Alliance Master, do you want to look for Shuangshuang?”
Dahu asked.
Recently, they had gone to see Cheng Sang a few times. Her name was Sangsang, and when they returned, Shuangshuang was the name they had for Yun Shuang.
When Jiang Guanchao heard this, he was stunned.
“No.” Shuangsguang said.
Dahu sat in the same posture as him and tilted his head to look at him. “But you’ve already glanced at Shuangshuang’s courtyard 12 times. Including that glance just now, 13… 14.”
Jiang Guanchao said, “You’re so young. Don’t spout nonsense like your grandfather.”
Xiaohu lay on Jiang Guanchao’s lap and imitated him. “Grandpa sprouts nonsense!”
It was rare for his stupid brother to pronounce it correctly. Dahu decided not to correct him for the time being as encouragement.
Dahu said like a little adult, “If you want to find her, go find her. Learn from Hall Master Ji and go! He asked Shuangshuang to go sailing!”
“I…”
Jiang Guanchao hesitated.
Xiaohu got up with a shudder. “Sailing! Xiaohu wants to go sailing! Xiaohu wants to punish the boat!”
Erhu played with the small stone and said, “I don’t want to go sailing .”
“Go! Sailing!”
Xiaohu came over to cause trouble.
Erhu said, “You’re not allowed to touch my little stone!”
Xiaohu began to act shamelessly.
Jiang Guanchao looked at the calm Dahu. “Do you… want to go too?”
If the three brothers wanted to go…
Dahu said, “No.”
Jiang Guanchao was speechless.

At the entrance, Ji Minglou lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Yun Shuang, “Shuang’er, I’ve asked around. The lotus seeds there are very delicious. I’ll pluck some for the children later. Xiyue wants to eat them too, right?”
He smiled and asked Wei Xiyue, who was held by Yun Shuang.
Wei Xiyue nodded.
She liked to eat lotus seeds.
Ji Minglou had stayed in the Wei family for a few days and had long seen that the children of the Wei family were Yun Shuang’s weakness. As long as the children wanted to do something, Yun Shuang could not refuse.
Yun Shuang looked back at the residence.
Ji Minglou said, “They’re taking an afternoon nap. Don’t wake them up.”
Before Yun Shuang went to Wei Xiyue’s courtyard, the three little ones had indeed fallen asleep on Jiang Guanchao’s bed.
According to routine, they had to sleep for two hours.
She did not know that the three of them had already woken up and led Wei Xiyue into the carriage.
Ji Minglou personally acted as the coachman.
Just as he picked up the whip, a fierce little demonic voice came from behind.
“Leave salt under the whip (Spare the whip)!”
Ji Minglou’s expression froze. He subconsciously turned around and saw Jiang Guanchao walking over with three valiant little packrats.
Jiang Guanchao had the aura of the alliance leader.
The three little ones walked out with a disrespectful aura.
Yun Shuang’s eyes lit up. “Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu!”
Wei Xiyue was also very happy.
Except she didn’t like to smile.
The stool had already been put away. The three little ones could only barely reach the entrance l.
Xiaohu stretched out his small arm and said sternly to Ji Minglou, “Can I trouble you carry me!”
Ji Minglou was speechless.
Ji Minglou reached out to carry Xiaohu but Jiang Guanchao was one step ahead of him. He carried Xiaohu into the carriage, followed by Dahu and Erhu.
He sat beside Ji Minglou.
Ji Minglou looked at Jiang Guanchao, who had come uninvited and was so “close” to him. He could not help but frown. “Alliance Master Jiang, what do you mean?”
Jiang Guanchao said calmly, “I’ve been in the capital for so long that I want to take a stroll along the lotus pond.”
Ji Minglou handed him the horsewhip. “You drive!”
Jiang Guanchao said, “I don’t know how.”
Ji Minglou jumped down and went to call the coachman.
He was willing to drive a carriage for Yun Shuang carriage, but what was he doing as a coachman for Jiang Guanchao?
Unexpectedly, just as he got out of the carriage, Jiang Guanchao took out a carrot from his wide sleeve.
Sihu that had been bribed immediately spread their hooves and pulled the carriage away!
Ji Minglou, who had been mercilessly abandoned, was speechless!
–
Ji Minglou rode a horse from the Wei family, but other horses could not run as fast as Sihu. It led its horse buddies and galloped nimbly on the streets.
It was a warhorse trained by the Qin family. Not only did it know the way, but it also knew how to take a shortcut.
When Ji Minglou arrived under the scorching sun, Yun Shuang and the children had already boarded the ship.
“And Grandpa Alliance Master!”
Xiaohu said.
Dahu hit the nail on the head. “You can’t bear to part with your big ice cube, right?”
Xiaohu stuck out his tongue. “Blehblehbleh.”
Xiaohu waved at Jiang Guanchao on the shore. “Grandpa Alliance Master, come up quickly! The boat is floating away!”
Yun Shuang’s gaze landed on Jiang Guanchao.
She knew that Jiang Guanchao did not know how to swim and would not come up.
Yun Shuang said to Xiaohu, “We’ll pluck it ourselves.”
Xiaohu tilted his head. “Why?”
“Because…”
Yun Shuang opened her mouth, but before she could finish, a black figure brushed past her with a hint of coldness and sat on the other end of the black boat.
The two of them faced each other, with a few children in the middle.
The boatman said, “Master, Madam, can we leave?”
Jiang Guanchao was calm. “Yes.”
“Alright!” The boatman pushed the bamboo pole down and sang to the lake. “Oh my god in June ~ The scenery is beautiful ~ I’m rowing the boat to look for Sister ~”
Yun Shuang was entranced.
The three little ones were also attracted by the boatman’s singing.
Only Wei Xiyue was not listening.
She only chose the voice she wanted to hear. If she didn’t like it, she wouldn’t listen immediately and wouldn’t be disturbed at all.
She sat beside Yun Shuang and noticed that Jiang Guanchao was opposite.
Jiang Guanchao sat upright, but his hands gripped the deck tightly, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
“Why didn’t you go to the mission yesterday?”
“I was delayed by something. I’ll accept my punishment.”
“What’s the matter? Are you referring to letting go of the assassin who trespassed the Assassin Alliance?”
“She’s not an assassin. She entered the abyss by mistake.”
“Those who trespass will be killed without mercy! This is the rule of the Assassin Alliance! I don’t care if she did it on purpose or not. In short, she is not allowed to leave alive! If you kill her, I’ll pretend that this never happened!”
The young man didn’t move.
The old Alliance Master smiled coldly. “Why? Can’t you do it?”
The disciple at the side knelt down. “Master! Forgive Guanchao! He still has to participate in the competition next month. It won’t be too late to deal with him after the competition!”
The old Alliance Master said, “Send him to the Ten Prisons Water Prison. If he doesn’t die in ten days, he can be pardoned!”
“Master!”
The old Alliance Master said, “Isn’t he very good at swimming? It’s just a water prison.”
The Ten Imperial Water Prison was the true Asura Dao of the Assassin Alliance.
None of the people who entered survived.
There was no light in the dark prison.
The cold seawater covered one of the young man’s bruised shoulders, corroding the wounds on his body caused by the barbed thorns and the two deep cuts on his wrists.
Poisonous snakes with their forked tongues were thrown into the black prison…
In the claustrophobic dark space, the young man trembled helplessly, swallowed by endless fear.
