Chapter 1453: Alliance Master’s Ultimate Move

Editor: Atlas Studios

Yun Shuang had a cousin who was Matriarch Yun’s distant nephew. He did not have a melodramatic background of losing his father when he was young and his mother remarrying, nor did he have a miserable experience of his father gambling and his mother crying.

When Matriarch Yun went home to visit her family, she saw that the children were playing well, so she brought him to her side.

Naturally, this child and his parents were willing.

After all, it was a blessing for many to enter the Hundred Flowers Palace.

However, her cousin did not like to practice martial arts and liked to study.

Matriarch Yun was a talented woman and often taught her three daughters homework. Seeing that he was so talented, she brought him along.

From then on, Cousin Shangguan appeared in the study.

“Shangguan Chuixue.”

Cousin Shangguan smiled at Su Xiaoxiao and Princess Hui An, who were staring at him in a daze.

The two of them immediately returned to their senses.

To be honest, Wei Ting and Su Xuan were already peerless beauties, but the two of them were still stunned by the man in front of them for a moment. It was obvious that the man’s skin was superior.

In terms of facial features, they were not considered exquisite, but they emitted a unique and appropriate aura, making people unable to take their eyes off them.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Jiang Guanchao, whose face was as black as charcoal.

Look at your ice-cold face. No matter how good-looking you are, no one would dare to look at you!

“Qin Su.”

Su Xiaoxiao replied politely to Shangguan Chuixue.

Princess Hui An traveled incognito and did not want to expose her identity, so she called herself Xiao Hua.

After understanding Su Xiaoxiao’s relationship with Yun Shuang, Shangguan Chuixue looked at Su Xiaoxiao with the gentleness and intimacy of an elder.

“This is…”

After meeting Yun Shuang and the other two, Shangguan Chuixue’s gaze landed on Jiang Guanchao.

Yun Shuang had no intention of introducing him.

Su Xiaoxiao blinked.

Didn’t Shangguan Chuixue know Alliance Master Jiang?

Jiang Guanchao’s gaze was unkind.

“He’s Alliance Master Jiang of the Assassin Alliance.”

Princess Hui An, who did not know the inside story, resolved the hidden surging and awkwardness in time.

“Boat Master.”

A maidservant slowly walked over. “Master Gu is here. He asked if he can treat you to a drink.”

Boat Master?

Was this new pleasure boat that was popular with the capital’s nobles Shangguan Chuixue’s?

Su Xiaoxiao had a new understanding of her talented cousin of her Mother Palace Lord.

Shangguan Chuixue said to the maid, “Go tell Master Gu that my family is here. I’ll accompany him for a drink another day.”

“Yes, Boat Master!”

The maidservant agreed.

Shangguan Chuixue looked at Jiang Guanchao again and smiled. “So it’s Alliance Master Jiang. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Jiang Guanchao’s expression was cold as he ignored Shangguan Chuixue.

Su Xiaoxiao whispered to Shangguan Chuixue, “He didn’t target you on purpose. He’s so rude to everyone.”

Jiang Guanchao, who had heard everything, was speechless.

Shangguan Chuixue smiled and did not mind Jiang Guanchao’s attitude. He said to them, “Cousin, Alliance Master Jiang, please. Susu, Miss Xiao, please.”

Susu… This name sounded so good!

Su Xiaoxiao happily pulled Princess Hui An along.

Looking at Su Xiaoxiao, Jiang Guanchao’s face darkened and he snorted. “How heartless!”

The group entered the best room on the pleasure boat. It was located on the second floor of the pleasure boat. It was decorated with carved beams and buildings. The furnishings were exquisite, but there was no lack of brush and ink paintings. There was a hint of scholarly fragrance in the noble aura.

Wind chimes hung under the corridor and by the window. They were beautiful and pleasant to the ears.

Shangguan Chuixue asked the maid to change the futon and invited them to sit down.

In the middle was a small rectangular table.

Yun Shuang sat alone on one side. The seat beside her was empty.

Shangguan Chuixue and Jiang Guanchao faced each other.

Su Xiaoxiao originally planned to sit close to Shangguan Chuixue. This way, it would be easier to listen to the gossip.

Unexpectedly, Princess Hui An and Jiang Guanchao looked at her at the same time. Her body trembled and she sat down beside Jiang Guanchao.

Princess Hui An did not want to sit next to a killing machine.

She wanted to be neighbors with the kind Senior Shangguan.

“Where have you been all these years?”

Yun Shuang asked Shangguan Chuixue.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around as she whispered to Jiang Guanchao, “Mother Palace Lord cares a lot about this cousin.”

Jiang Guanchao’s expression turned cold.

Shangguan Chuixue smiled and said, “I traveled everywhere and made the four seas my home. How are you and Lin’er? I heard that he became the City Lord. He finally recognized his identity.”

Su Xiaoxiao continued to attack Jiang Guanchao. “He even knows Ling Yun’s background. Mother Palace Lord and Yun Xi trust him very much!”

Jiang Guanchao glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and whispered, “Should I kill you first?”

Su Xiaoxiao trembled.

Princess Hui An suddenly asked Shangguan Chuixue, “Master Shangguan, are you married?”

Yun Shuang also looked at him, clearly very curious about this matter.

Jiang Guanchao’s gaze turned even colder.

Shangguan Chuixue laughed. “No.”

Princess Hui An’s eyes lit up. “What a coincidence. Palace Lord Yun isn’t married either!”

Su Xiaoxiao covered Princess Hui An’s mouth before she could be killed.

Shangguan Chuixue did not look embarrassed by the matchmaking. Instead, he could not help but laugh and say, “Ah, I remember that when I was young, Third Cousin was the most clingy. She said that she would marry me when she grew up.”

Yun Shuang was stunned. “I… did?”

Shangguan Chuixue sighed regretfully. “You actually don’t remember. I’m really sorry.”

Yun Shuang began to think seriously.

When she was young, she was indeed the one who stuck to her cousin the most. Who asked her to be young?

In addition, Yun Xi was the eldest daughter. As the heir, she did not have much time to fool around.

As for Yun Xue, she had fought with her since she was young. She didn’t like to play with Yun Xue, so she could only stick to Shangguan Chuixue.

Shangguan Chuixue said, “The elders said that you’re Cousin’s little tail. However, now that Shuang’er has grown up and is a Palace Lord who can take charge, Cousin is very gratified.”

Yun Shuang looked very happy after being praised.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. Incredible, incredible. The killing machine had encountered a real enemy.

This was a true childhood sweetheart. Ji Minglou was at most a good friend in the martial world. He was nothing in front of Shangguan Chuixue!

Moreover, Ji Minglou’s past with Yun Shuang was fake, but Shangguan Chuixue’s friendship with Yun Shuang was really without any misunderstanding!

Most importantly, Mother Palace Lord had a good impression of her cousin!

Su Xiaoxiao gave Jiang Guanchao a sympathetic look.

Good luck. You’ve been KO-ed. You have no chance. You’ve lost!

Jiang Guanchao said indifferently, “It’s just playing around when you’re young. Boat Master Shangguan hasn’t married for many years. I’m afraid there’s something else, right?”

Shangguan Chuixue smiled. “Alliance Master is wise. I wonder if you’re married?”

Jiang Guanchao said, “No.”

Shangguan Chuixue said, “Then the Alliance Master’s secret is…”

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, Have you been checkmated?

Shangguan Chuixue… was so sharp!

They could already feel the thick smoke and flames of war burning!

Draw your sword!

Young man!

Jiang Guanchao looked at Yun Shuang without blinking. “Your cousin knows my secrets best.”

Yun Shuang did not look at him and said calmly, “What does it have to do with me whether you’re married or not?”

Shangguan Chuixue looked at the two of them deeply and smiled. “Looks like I’m late. Cousin… is already in love.”

Yun Shuang picked up her teacup. “I’m not.”

Jiang Guanchao almost crushed the cup in his hand.

Shangguan Chuixue said to Yun Shuang, “Cousin, if you have someone you like, Cousin will only be happy for you. If there’s any misunderstanding between the two of you, sit down and talk nicely. Don’t say anything in anger.”

The little person in Su Xiaoxiao’s heart raised her arms crazily.

Good tea! Good tea! Alliance Master! Fight!

Yun Shuang said coldly, “I didn’t say it out of anger. I have nothing to do with this person.”

Shangguan Chuixue looked at the angry Yun Shuang and quickly poured two glasses of wine. “Alright, alright, alright. Let’s not talk about this anymore. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have made you angry. Come, let me toast you. This is your favorite strong wine. It’s spicy but not cold. It’s refreshment for your throat.”

Yun Shuang raised her glass.

Jiang Guanchao forcefully brought the wine glass over.

Yun Shuang frowned. “What are you doing?”

Jiang Guanchao said, “You can’t drink.”

Yun Shuang said coldly, “Why can’t I drink? Alliance Master Jiang, aren’t you interfering too much? This is the Great Zhou, not your Assassin Alliance! Also, I’m not anyone to you! If you interfere in my business again, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”

Jiang Guanchao silently placed a child avoidance pill on the table.

Yun Shuang blushed.

“I… I didn’t… This kind of thing… It’s not like I’ll…”

Yun Shuang stammered. At this moment, the maid came over with a plate of delicacies.

“Flying Boat Master, it’s rock sugar pork shoulder that has just been cooked!”

“Ugh—”

Yun Shuang’s stomach churned. She bowed and retched.
