Chapter 1447: The Truth Is Out (2)

Yun Shuang said, “I was careless. It had nothing to do with him.”

Ji Minglou did not like Yun Shuang speaking up for Jiang Guanchao and did not continue. “Shuang’er, eat something and we’ll go back. The children miss you too.”

The little fellows were Yun Shuang’s weakness. He hit the nail on the head.

Without waiting for Yun Shuang to speak, Jiang Guanchao ended his meditation and left the backyard with the maid.

Yun Shuang looked at his back.

Suddenly, Ji Minglou took a step to the side and blocked Yun Shuang’s vision. “Eat it while it’s hot. It’ll get cold later. On the way back, we’ll pass by that shop. I’ll buy some more for the children.”

Every word was about the children.

“Xiaobao should miss him too.”

Yun Shuang muttered and sat down on the stone stool.

Ji Minglou eagerly opened the food box for her. “Shuang’er, forgive me for being blunt, but those from the Assassin Alliance are not good people. It’s best if you don’t interact with the Assassin Alliance alone in the future. This time, I found this place in time. Otherwise…”

“Ji Minglou.”

Yun Shuang interrupted him. “I have something to ask you.”

Ji Minglou felt a hint of solemnity in her eyes. He sat up straight. “Tell me.”

Yun Shuang said, “Back then, you went to the Assassin Alliance’s abyss to look for me. How did you break in? I know I asked you and you said that you encountered some danger, but fortunately, you averted the danger.”

Ji Minglou said, “That’s right.”

Yun Shuang asked, “You didn’t encounter any disciples of the Assassin Alliance?”

Ji Minglou said, “No, I only triggered some mechanisms.”

Yun Shuang said, “I encountered two and almost lost my life to them. To avoid them, I accidentally fell into the cold pool. However, for some reason, they didn’t chase after me later.”

Ji Ming’s corridor said, “Shuang’er, the cold pool is just your illusion. The cultivation technique of the Hundred Flowers Palace counters the water of the cold pool. It would be impossible for you to come out alive if you had fallen in. Moreover, when I found you, your clothes were dry.”

Yun Shuang continued, “What if someone had saved me?”

Ji Ming’s corridor said, “That’s the Assassin Alliance’s territory. Who would save a trespasser? Moreover, even the disciples of the Assassin Alliance don’t dare to rashly barge into the cold pool. It’s too dangerous!”

Seeing that Yun Shuang was silent, Ji Minglou panicked. “Shuang’er, why have you been asking about what happened back then recently?”

Yun Shuang whispered, “I saw that person again.”

Ji Minglou was stunned.

Yun Shuang muttered, “I can’t tell if it’s an illusion or something. He doesn’t acknowledge it, not at all.”

Ji Minglou was puzzled. “Who are you talking about?”

Yun Shuang shook her head. “Forget it. It shouldn’t be him. He doesn’t know how to swim.”

Ji Minglou frowned and said, “Who doesn’t know how to swim? Jiang Guanchao? Did he tell you that? Heh, in order to lie to you, he really will do anything! Back then, he killed two personal disciples of the old Alliance Master in the cold pool. If not for Nie Yangshan trying his best to protect him, he would have long been dealt with by the old Alliance Master according to the alliance rules. How could he have the chance to sit in the Alliance Master’s position? Shuang’er, don’t believe a word he says!”

No one on the island knew Jiang Guanchao’s weakness.

If not for a freak combination of factors and Jiang Guanchao being trapped with Wei Xu and saved by Yun Shuang, Yun Shuang would not have believed that an expert who grew up on the island did not know how to swim.

Which was the truth?

Was Jiang Guanchao lying to her, or was Ji Minglou lying?

“Mother!”

“Wu Wa Wa Wa!”

Yun Shuang’s eyes lit up. “Xiaoxiao! Xiaobao!”

Ji Minglou’s expression darkened.

It was not easy for him to get along with Shuang’er, but he was disturbed again.

Su Xiaoxiao carried Wei Xiaobao into the courtyard.

Wei Xiaobao did not see Jiang Guanchao. She only saw Ji Minglou with Yun Shuang.

She shouted fiercely, “Wuuwa!”

Ji Minglou trembled.

Yun Shuang carried Wei Xiaobao over and leaned against her gently. “Xiaobao.”

Wei Xiaobao’s chubby hand also hugged Yun Shuang and stuck to her.

Then, in less than three seconds, she began to look for her thrower, Jiang Guanchao. “Woo?”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled at Ji Minglou. “Hall Master Ji, Wei Ting is outside. He said that he has something to ask you.”

Ji Minglou went unwillingly.

Wei Xiaobao stretched her invisible neck and looked around. “Aba, Aba.”

Yun Shuang carried her and sat down on the stool.

“Mother, where’s Alliance Master Jiang?”

“In his own room, right?”

Yun Shuang heard his footsteps return to his room.

“Are you looking for him?”

Yun Shuang asked.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m looking for Mother, but it’s about him.”

Yun Shuang said, “You should talk to him about his matters.”

Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “Why does the atmosphere feel wrong?”

Had Ji Minglou been stirring up trouble for two days, but not warm their relationship?

That shouldn’t be the case.

Forget it. She would talk about what they know first.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I finally pieced together an unknown past after asking around. It turns out that Alliance Master Jiang is very good at swimming! He even went down to the cold pool of the Assassin Alliance and killed the disciples of the old Alliance Master inside. One of them is the most valued heir of the old Alliance Master!”

“Who did you hear it from?”

“Granny Nie.”

“So it’s true.”

“Mother knows?”

Yun Shuang told Su Xiaoxiao what Ji Minglou had said.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her chin. “It seems that Hall Master Ji has investigated Alliance Master Jiang. It seems that because of this, the old Alliance Master punished Alliance Master Jiang ruthlessly and locked him in the Ten Prisons Water Prison to torture him for ten days and ten nights. Not many people know about this. It was Baili Chen who sent me a letter through the flying tiger.”

Wuhu that flew in the golden eagle carriage was called the flying tiger.

Wei Xiaobao could not sit still anymore. “Aba, Aba!”

Su Xiaoxiao pinched her cheek. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll bring you to find him.”

–

Jiang Guanchao’s door was pushed open.

“Can I come in?”

Yun Shuang asked.

Jiang Guanchao said calmly, “The ground is very wet.”

Yun Shuang said, “I’m the one who wants to see you.”

Jiang Guanchao paused.

Yun Shuang looked at him steadily. “I want to ask, who was the person I met in Mountain Abyss back then?”

Jiang Guanchao did not answer.

Yun Shuang said, “If you don’t understand, I’ll ask again. Was the young man I wanted to marry back then you, Alliance Master Jiang?”
