Chapter 1398: You Are My World
Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Xiaoxiao and Su Mo got onto the island. The two of them swam over from the front, and their clothes were drenched.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t be bothered to go to the pharmacy to change her clothes and quickly followed the footprints on the ground.
In front of a stone tablet, she saw Xiahou Yi, who had been decapitated, and Wei Ting, who was lying on the ground.
“Wei Ting!”
Her expression changed as she ran over.
Wei Ting said with a pale face, “I won’t die…”
Su Xiaoxiao broke out in cold sweat. Seeing that he could still speak, she let out a long sigh.
The first time she saw him, he was half-dead.
After so many years, he was still half-dead. He was either injured or on the way to injury all the time.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly took off the waterproof first aid kit from her waist. “Can’t you deal with him when we reach?”
Although she said that, she actually understood that if it were her, she would have made the same choice as Wei Ting if someone had hurt Ergou.
She carefully treated Wei Ting’s injuries.
Xiahou Yi was really ruthless. This penetrating wound almost pierced Wei Ting’s spleen.
Su Mo walked over and looked at his dying brother-in-law. He wanted to tease him, but he swallowed his words.
He turned to look at the disc under the stone tablet and asked in confusion, “What’s going on? Isn’t the tomb open?”
Wei Ting said weakly, “We’re still short of a dragon crystal.”
Originally, he thought that he only needed four dragon crystals, but when he observed Xiahou Yi just now, he realized that there was an invisible groove in the center. He had to press four dragon crystals one by one to pop it out.
Su Mo asked, “Where’s the last dragon crystal?”
Wei Ting had been given a local anesthetic by Su Xiaoxiao and had lost feeling in his wound. The pain was not so intense anymore.
His expression softened as he said, “If I’m not wrong, it should be with the tomb keeper.”
After a pause, he handed the note in his hand to Su Mo. “Look at this.”
Su Mo picked up the note and glanced at his sister first.
His sister loved to gossip, but at this moment, she was focused on treating Wei Ting’s injuries and turned a deaf ear to everything around her—
Su Mo did not disturb his sister. He gently unfolded the note and was stunned.
“This is…”
“Xiahou Yi has been tricked.”
With that said, Wei Ting looked at the head that was staring at the entrance of the tomb with grievances and said,
“The tomb keeper has guarded Emperor Wu’s tomb for generations. Even the Wei family, who is a direct descendant, doesn’t know who he is. It’s not so easy for Xiahou Yi to obtain the treasure map from him. I guess he deliberately released the treasure map from the beginning. He tricked Xiahou Yi ruthlessly.”
There were not many people in this world who could be on par with Xiahou Yi.
It would be a lie to say that he was not curious about the gravekeeper’s identity.
However, the tomb keeper could even predict Xiahou Yi’s scheme. He must know everything about the Wei family. He had his reasons for not appearing.
He could not disturb the other party’s peace just to satisfy his curiosity.
Su Mo went to put away the dragon crystal.
There were only three.
Wuhu quietly hoarded a piece.
Su Mo was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly treated Wei Ting’s injuries, leaving only the last wound to be bandaged.
Su Mo’s boat was blown up.
Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao’s boat was also burned when they came over.
At that time, Wei Ting was not injured and it did not matter how he went into the sea. His body was covered in bandages and he could not touch a single drop of water.
Just as they were at a loss, a small boat rowed over.
The young man on the boat waved at Su Xiaoxiao excitedly. “Sister—Sister—”
Su Xiaoxiao trembled, thinking that she was hallucinating.
However, she still subconsciously turned her head.
She saw Su Ergou holding the paddle and standing on a drifting boat, waving at her desperately.
Su Xiaoxiao’s emotions surged!
“Ergou!”
“Sister!”
“Ergou!”
Su Xiaoxiao threw away the gauze in her hand and ran towards the sea.
Wei Ting, who had been abandoned halfway through the bandage, was speechless.
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, expressing his satisfaction.
Su Xiaoxiao jumped into the sea without hesitation. Su Ergou also jumped off the boat and approached Su Xiaoxiao without hesitation.
The not-so-gentle waves slapped his young body. He was no longer that thin brother. He was taller, stronger, and tanned. His facial features were strong, and his eyebrows were filled with the heroic spirit of a young man.
His shoulders had also broadened, and he had a strong chest that Su Xiaoxiao could rely on.
Su Xiaoxiao hugged him like before.
In the next second, he picked Su Xiaoxiao up and spun her around excitedly in the sea.
Su Xiaoxiao felt the muscles and strength on his arm.
Her Ergou had grown up.
“I’m dizzy, dizzy.”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t take it anymore.
Su Ergou carried Su Xiaoxiao ashore. His legs were longer, and his steps were steadier than before.
“Ergou.”
Su Mo also walked over.
“Cousin?”
Su Mo was wearing armor, so Su Ergou did not recognize him at a glance. “You’re here too!”
As he spoke, he looked at Wei Ting, who was lying in a pool of blood. “That person is…”
Wei Ting, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, only revealed his eyes. “Your brother-in-law.”
Su Ergou was speechless.
The corpse on the ground had already been thoughtfully dealt with by Su Mo. Even the largest pool of blood was buried.
However, Su Ergou was no longer the little bully of Apricot Flower Village who only knew how to sell pancakes.
He could guess that a fierce battle must have happened here, which was why his brother-in-law was seriously injured and why his eldest cousin appeared here in armor.
“Brother-in-law.”
Su Ergou squatted down beside Wei Ting with some heartache.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Ergou, why are you here? Who brought you here?”
Su Ergou told her everything about the old man from Wutong Academy bringing him to look for her.
It was actually the old doorman who always robbed their pancakes?
Su Xiaoxiao was baffled.
“Does Dad know?”
She asked.
“I… should think so.”
Su Xiaoxiao trembled. “What do you mean… should?”
Su Ergou hummed and recalled seriously, “Dad drank too much. Grandfather agreed to let me go out.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Did you call him that easily? How many benefits did the Zongzheng Wei give you?”
That handsome and rich grandfather, don’t forget that you have a granddaughter!!!
With Zongzheng Wei’s wisdom and love for Su Ergou, this matter would definitely be beneficial to Su Ergou.
However, she still couldn’t believe that the old man could be related to Thousand Mountain Island.
“Where’s the old man?”
She pressed.
Su Ergou scratched his head. “He’s gone!”
Su Ergou explained everything that had happened on the ship.
The three of them looked at the dragon crystal and bronze token that Su Ergou took out and gasped!
There was indeed a fifth dragon crystal!
They were still curious about the identity of the tomb keeper just now. They did not expect him to appear today, and it was the old man who guarded the back door of Wutong Academy!
This news was even more shocking than knowing that Xiahou Yi was the mastermind!
Su Xiaoxiao thought that His Majesty Zongzheng must have guessed his identity and intentions, so he agreed to let him take Su Ergou away.
Everything along the way was a test for Su Ergou.
The pure and honest Su Ergou endured it.
Su Xiaoxiao stroked her brother’s young and handsome face. “Sister’s Ergou has really grown up.”
Su Ergou smiled shyly.
Su Mo said to Wei Ting, “He knows Ergou’s relationship with the Wei family. The fact that he passed the dragon crystal and bronze token to Ergou means that he acknowledges that the current Wei family has the right to open the Emperor Wu’s tomb. Do you want to open it?”
Su Ergou also looked at his brother-in-law and generously handed over the dragon crystal. “Brother-in-law, here!”
There were some things that he did not understand, but there was one thing that would never change. That was, he would take out whatever his brother-in-law wanted without hesitation!
He knew all about how well his brother-in-law treated his sister and him. He would also treat his brother-in-law well.
Wei Ting looked at Su Ergou’s dragon crystal and then at the wordless monument. He said calmly, “Since it’s already buried, why disturb the peace of your ancestors?”
Su Xiaoxiao helped him sit up and didn’t argue with him. Instead, she asked him solemnly,
“Are you sure you don’t want the world?”
Wei Ting smiled and held her hand with his scarred palm, looking into her eyes.
“You’re my world.”
