Chapter 1277: Meeting Wei Xiaobao Again

Five Poison Sect.
Among the few sects that participated in the attack on the Hundred Flowers Palace, the Five Poison Sect suffered the most casualties. Even the most beloved disciple of the Five Poison Sect’s Sect Master, Du Xian’er, died on the spot.
The Five Poison Sect had always held a grudge.
Today, it was not easy for Du Xian’er’s senior sister to face Su Xiaoxiao. She planned to avenge her junior sister, but she did not expect the disciple of the Walkabout Sect to interfere.
The Walkabout Sect was clearly deliberately removing obstacles for Su Xiaoxiao, so the Five Poison Sect also hated the Walkabout Sect.
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. “Is it easy to obtain the Walkabout Sect’s Mental Confusion Powder?”
Palace Lord and the Ghost Concubine paused at the same time.
She was so focused on her motive that she forgot to think about how the murder tool came about.
Palace Lord looked at the Ghost Concubine.
Ghost Concubine hurriedly said, “Let me make it clear first. Our Walkabout Sect has definitely sold the Mental Confusion Powder.”
The female disciple of the Walkabout Sect said, “That’s right, Palace Lord Yun. The Mental Confusion Powder is a very rare herb. We can’t bear to use it ourselves.”
Ghost Concubine said coldly, “Do I need you to interrupt?”
The disciple lowered her head.
Wei Xu said, “There’s a place one might be able to buy it.”
The Palace Lord paused. “Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.”
The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion was the place where everyone on the island bought and sold information. However, their weapons, especially hidden weapons, were quite popular. The third thing was poison.
They had business dealings with the Five Poison Sect. It was said that many of the Five Poison Sect’s recipes were bought from the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.
It was difficult to say that the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion did not have the prescription for the Mental Confusion Powder.
“Where did the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion get these prescriptions?” The Ghost Concubine couldn’t understand.
Su Xiaoxiao, Palace Lord, and Wei Xu had a guess.
Granny Nie had said that the secret martial arts manuals of the various sects on the island actually came from the Xiahou family. The poison recipes of the Pavilion Master of the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion must have been given to him by Xiahou Yi.
“How dare you, Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, steal my Walkabout Sect’s poison recipe! Do you really think there’s no one left in my Walkabout Sect?”
A trace of killing intent flashed across the Ghost Concubine’s charming eyes. “Sister, just you wait. I’ll definitely give you an explanation for this!”
With that, she left murderously!
Wei Xu said, “Send Qian Yao back to the Hundred Flowers Palace first.”
The Palace Lord nodded.
Naturally, they had regrets.
The Hundred Flowers Palace participated in the martial arts competition again after many years. She had high hopes for Qian Yao.
Qian Yao also felt that he had a mission on his shoulders and was prepared to fight to the death on the arena. It was cruel and unfair to him to end it like this.
The Palace Lord squatted down and touched Qian Yao’s forehead. “I’ll remember this. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely avenge you!”
Qian Yao was seriously injured. Although he had taken the antidote, the penetrating injury was still there. If he was not careful, his life could still be in danger.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Mother, I’ll send Senior Brother Qian Yao back to the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
Palace Lord hesitated. “But you…”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s fine. I’ve already competed. There won’t be another competition today. I’ll rush back before the final battle.”
Although Granny Nie was also proficient in medicine, it was too difficult for her to travel back and forth at her age.
Moreover, as the head of the Jin family, she still had to participate in the discussion of the final battle later.
Palace Lord said, “I’ll get Yuexin to accompany you back.”
Wei Xu said, “I’ll go too.”
He was worried about his daughter-in-law.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Dad, if the Five Poison Sect dares to attack Senior Brother Qian Yao, it’s hard to guarantee that they won’t attack others. Also, with Lou Bufan, Jiang Guanchao around… Dad and Mom should stand guard. Moreover, they definitely won’t guess that I’ve left. No one will care if I secretly leave. On the other hand, Dad, once you leave, you’ll really be targeted.”
That was true.
As the male master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Wei Xu’s sudden absence would definitely arouse suspicion.
Su Xiaoxiao was young, but not many juniors sat seriously in the observation platform. Everyone would only think that she had squeezed into the crowd to watch the battle.
The Palace Lord said to Wei Xu, “Once you leave, Jiang Guanchao will most likely hunt you down. It’s indeed easy to implicate Xiaoxiao.”
No matter how careful Wei Xu was about his martial arts, he would not risk his daughter-in-law’s safety.
He nodded and said to Su Xiaoxiao and Yuan Yuexin, “Be careful on the way.”
Su Xiaoxiao and Second Senior Sister, Yuan Yuexin, brought Senior Brother Qian Yao to the carriage back to the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Su Mo’s battle with the Seven Absolutes Sect and the Assassin Alliance had already ended.
Su Mo won.
There was basically no doubt that the disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect would lose.
However, they did not expect the Seventh Senior Brother of the Assassin Alliance to be defeated by the Netherworld King. Everyone below the arena was stunned.
The undefeated legend of the Assassin Alliance ended in the hands of this young hero called the Netherworld King.
After Su Mo walked off the arena, he immediately looked at the observation platform of the Hundred Flowers Palace, looking for his sister.
However, he realized that his sister was not around.
He frowned.
“Eh? The Netherworld King won. Why do you seem unhappy?”
Su Mo said, “No sister.”
The duel continued.
Qian Yao withdrew. This battle became a battle between Third Senior Brother You Ming and Fourth Senior Brother Chen Yu.
In the past, there was no precedent of letting fellow disciples be in the same group. They would avoid it in advance. This year, this rule was canceled, causing many fellow disciples to fight their fellow disciples.
Chen Yu was no match for You Ming and regretfully lost.
In the end, a total of nine people advanced.
Hundred Flowers Palace: Wei Ting, Su Mo.
Assassin Alliance: Qi Yao, You Ming.
Thousand Possibilities Pavilion: Slave Killer.
Jin family: Su Xiaoxiao.
Heavenly Jade Hall: Lin Feiyu.
Hidden Sword Villa: Young Master Qiu Hanyi.
Jianghu Hero: Heartbroken Cultivator.
The sect masters and family heads of the nine were called to the side hall by the Elder Council to discuss the battle tomorrow.
In the past, it was a one-on-one battle to the last person.
This year, it was changed to reaching the top of Dragon Mountain and snatching the Xiahou family’s dragon crystals.
Dragon crystals were actually obsidian. They were not too rare on the island.
However, the dragon crystals of the Xiahou family were passed down from their ancestors. It was said that after consecration, it could protect the entire Thousand Mountains Island. The meaning was extraordinary.
Martial arts practitioners did not care about what it meant. The main thing was that it was coming on first.
The duel began at dawn.
In the side hall, the Hundred Flowers Palace Lord said to Wei Ting and the others, “Xiaoxiao will rush back before dawn. Rest well tonight and conserve your strength. Tomorrow’s ultimate battle might be a life-and-death battle.
“Only two members of the Assassin Alliance have advanced. This is good news for us. They probably won’t ally with anyone, but it’s very difficult for the others to ally with us. The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and the Heavenly Jade Hall are on the same side. It’s hard to say about the Hidden Sword Villa, but I think he will most likely pull the Heartbroken Cultivator into an alliance.”
“Don’t underestimate this martial artist. He must be very strong to be able to enter the final battle. Now, we’re just waiting for Xiaoxiao to return.”
Hundred Flowers Palace.
After Su Xiaoxiao finished the surgery for Senior Brother Qian Yao, she walked out sweating.
Xing’er’s heart ached. She took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. “Miss, you haven’t eaten for a day.”
“Oh, I forgot.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked around. “Are Dahu and the others asleep?”
Xing’er said, “They just fell asleep. Xiaobao is still awake. He’s with Fourth Young Master.”
The three little ones were used to sleeping early. Wei Xiaobao was a night owl. She slept soundly during the day and could catch sparrows at night with her eyes wide open.
However, although she woke up, she was not noisy. She ate her hands and played alone.
Su Xiaoxiao was covered in blood and returned to the house to take a bath.
Xing’er carried Wei Xiaobao over. “Miss, look, Xiaobao is smiling.”
“Did she?”
“She really smiled just now!”
Xing’er placed Wei Xiaobao in Su Xiaoxiao’s arms.
“Smile.”
Su Xiaoxiao said to Wei Xiaobao.
Wei Xiaobao did not smile.
She turned around and looked for milk in Su Xiaoxiao’s arms.
“No,” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Perhaps it was because she had nursed too little that it was gone a long time ago. Every time the little guy could not feed, she would look for it.
Wei Xiaobao didn’t seem to believe her. Her small hand tugged at her lapel, wanting to stick her head in to take a look.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “No.”
Wei Xiaobao grabbed it with both hands in a daze.
