Chapter 1431: Jealous Alliance Master
Editor: Atlas Studios
Yun Shuang’s ears turned red.
She never expected Jiang Guanchao to mention this in public and ask so… bluntly!
Was this really coming from the Alliance Master of the Assassin Alliance?
Wasn’t there nothing else in this guy’s mind except killing?
When did he become so… shameless?
Or was he dissatisfied that she had used him to detoxify the poison and deliberately came to embarrass her?
Yun Shuang clenched her fists tightly, wishing she could punch him in the head!
The Hundred Flowers Palace and the Assassin Alliance had always been at odds because of Rakshasa. Although they had temporarily joined forces when they destroyed Xiahou Yi, Ji Minglou definitely did not expect Yun Shuang to be associated with Jiang Guanchao.
Seeing the two of them ready to fight, Ji Minglou did not take it to heart. He cupped his hands and said, “So it’s Alliance Master Jiang who cured Shuang’er’s poison. Thank you, Alliance Master Jiang.”
Jiang Guanchao said indifferently, “Hall Master Ji, in what capacity are you thanking Palace Lord Yun? Are you her husband or her lover?”
Ji Minglou choked.
Su Xiaoxiao’s gaze darted back and forth between Jiang Guanchao and Mother Palace Lord.
She pulled Wei Ting’s sleeve weakly and asked softly, “Do you feel… that there’s something strange between Alliance Master Jiang and Mother?”
Wei Ting also looked at the two of them and whispered, “I feel it.”
Actually, the two of them were not surprised that Jiang Guanchao would detoxify Yun Shuang.
No matter what, the two of them were considered allies now. It was only right for them to help each other.
However, the way the two of them looked at each other was too strange.
Also, when did Jiang Guanchao get so close to Ji Minglou? Not only was he Ji Minglou’s guide, but he also chatted with him and told him about detoxifying Yun Shuang.
Was the dignified Alliance Master of the Assassin Alliance so talkative?
Also, Jiang Guanchao’s question about Ji Minglou’s identity to thank him on behalf of Yun Shuang was a little out of line, okay?
Yun Shuang calmly walked towards Jiang Guanchao. When she brushed past him, she paused and said expressionlessly, “It’s nothing.”
With that, she pushed open the door and entered the residence without looking back.
Jiang Guanchao clenched his fists.
Wei Ting hurriedly stepped forward to be the peacemaker. “Alliance Master Jiang, since you’re back, go in and rest.”
Wei Xiaobao was extremely excited and stretched out her small arms to Jiang Guanchao. “Aba, Aba!”
Jiang Guanchao carried the little fellow over and walked into the residence.
Seeing that Jiang Guanchao was so familiar with the Wei family, Ji Minglou was a little stunned.
Wei Ting smiled and said, “Hall Master Ji, it’s been hard on you since you came from afar. If you don’t mind, please rest in the residence for a while.”
Ji Minglou originally did not want to trouble the Wei family, but when he thought of how Yun Shuang lived here, he changed his mind and said politely to Wei Ting, “Then I’ll have to trouble you.”
After defeating Xiahou Yi, Ji Minglou learned about the identities of Wei Xu, Wei Ting, and the others from the disciples of the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Otherwise, he would not have located the capital of the Great Zhou.
Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting let Elder Qiu and Nie Jinfeng stay in their courtyard. As for Ji Minglou, the couple didn’t mind watching the commotion and brought him to Jiang Guanchao’s courtyard next to Yun Shuang.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “Uncle Jiang, it’s too late to tidy up the new courtyard. Do you mind?”
Jiang Guanchao said coldly, “I’m not your Uncle Jiang.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “Then, Brother Jiang? I’m my mother-in-law’s successor. According to seniority, it’s indeed right to call me that!”
Jiang Guanchao, who had suddenly been forcefully demoted, was speechless.
Ji Minglou was more than happy to live next door to Yun Shuang.
He was walking towards the room near Yun Shuang before Jiang Guanchao said coldly, “This is mine.”
Jiang Guanchao had always been unreasonable and spoke to everyone in such an arrogant tone. Ji Minglou still did not take it to heart.
He walked to the next room.
“This one is also mine.”
“This one too.”
“That’s also mine.”
“Still mine.”
Ji Minglou frowned. “Can you live in so many rooms on your own?”
Jiang Guanchao said righteously, “The Assassin Alliance is not like your Heavenly Jade Hall. I’ve always lived in a spacious place. I can stay in any room I want.”
In the end, only the hut at the west end was acceptable to Jiang Guanchao.
Not to mention approaching Yun Shuang’s courtyard, he could not even see even the roof on Yun Shuang’s side.
This was in someone else’s residence. Jiang Guanchao was rude, but he, Ji Minglou, had to observe decorum.
Ji Minglou stayed.
He lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. He felt that it was better to tell Yun Shuang as soon as possible and let her and the Wei family be careful.
He left the room.
As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw Jiang Guanchao sitting under a tree and drinking.
“Alliance Master Jiang, why aren’t you sleeping?”
He greeted him politely.
Jiang Guanchao said, “Isn’t Hall Master Ji not asleep either?”
Ji Ming’s corridor said, “Oh, I have something to discuss with Shuang’er.”
Jiang Guanchao chuckled and said, “A man and a woman in the same room in the middle of the night. Hall Master Ji is really not afraid of gossip.”
Ji Minglou said frankly, “People in the martial world don’t care about trifles.”
“We’re all from the martial world. There’s no need to care about such a small matter.”
Yun Shuang’s words flashed across his mind. Jiang Guanchao’s expression turned cold. “The two of you are indeed childhood sweethearts.”
Old Master Ji and Old Palace Lord Yun were old friends. The two families often interacted. Yun Shuang and Ji Minglou had known each other since they were young. Although Ji Wanru didn’t get along with the three sisters, she got close to Xiahou Qing at Yun Xi’s birthday banquet.
Ji Minglou sighed. “Unfortunately, fate makes fools of people. If not for that unforeseen event, Shuang’er and I would not have been separated, causing her to be heartbroken and remain unmarried.”
Jiang Guanchao sneered disdainfully. “If you’re incompetent, don’t blame fate. Also, what makes you think she didn’t marry because of you?”
Ji Minglou frowned.
What was going on with Jiang Guanchao tonight?
He had repeatedly refuted him again and again!
What did his past with Shuang’er have to do with him?
He had helped the City Lord, not become the City Lord!
Did he think he was the father of the City Lord?
It was related to the Heavenly Jade Hall and the Hundred Flowers Palace!
This was the Wei family. Ji Minglou did not want to fall out with Jiang Guanchao in someone else’s territory. He held back his anger and continued to walk out.
Jiang Guanchao stopped him calmly. “Hall Master Ji, I heard that your Heavenly Jade Hall’s Space Shattering Palm is the number one palm technique in Fengdu City. I’ve always wanted to experience it. I wonder if Hall Master Ji is willing to give me this face?”
Ji Minglou looked at him strangely. “You want to spar with me here in the middle of the night?”
Jiang Guanchao said casually, “People in the martial world don’t care about trifles. Or are you afraid?”
Ji Minglou looked at Jiang Guanchao suspiciously. “Alliance Master Jiang, did the Heavenly Jade Hall offend you?”
Jiang Guanchao said calmly, “I’m sincerely asking for guidance. If Hall Master Ji is unwilling, forget it.”
Ji Minglou said arrogantly, “Although I’m tired from running around, I can still exchange a few moves with Alliance Master Jiang.”
The moon was dark and the night was lonely.
Ji Minglou, who had been beaten into a pig’s head, lay weakly on the ground.
Jiang Guanchao… It was just a spar. Why did you have to go to the limit!
Jiang Guanchao casually dusted off his spotless sleeve. “It’s nothing.”
Jiang Guanchao looked at the full moon in the sky and glanced at the silent courtyard next door, as if he was waiting for something.
When no one came for a long time, he frowned.
He gently leaped into Yun Shuang’s courtyard.
At this moment, Yun Shuang was suffering indescribable torture.
The love poison in her body had clearly been eliminated, but an hour ago, it suddenly made a comeback.
How could this be?
As she soaked herself in cold water, her cheeks were burning red.
Clang.
The door was kicked open.
Yun Shuang said warily, “Who?”
“It’s me.”
Jiang Guanchao strode to the bathtub and looked down at her.
Yun Shuang’s clothes were thin, and her exquisite curves could be seen clearly under the water.
Yun Shuang gritted her teeth and said, “Why are you here again?”
Jiang Guanchao said coldly, “I’m here to ask, what did I do to dissatisfy you?”
Yun Shuang turned her face away.
His aura was too familiar. Once the love poison acted up, it was like a catalyst.
Yun Shuang bit the tip of her tongue and used the pain to maintain a trace of rationality. “What’s going on?”
Jiang Guanchao said indifferently, “The Japanese Love Poison is not so easy to cure. As long as there’s a trace of it, it will flare up from time to time.”
Yun Shuang closed her eyes. “Why didn’t you say so earlier…”
Jiang Guanchao said, “I’ve asked you whether you were sure you wanted to use this method? Would you really not regret it? You said it yourself that you definitely won’t regret it.”
She had said that before… but she did not know that this poison was so difficult to cure…
Yun Shuang glared at him with watery eyes. “Why are you fine?”
Jiang Guanchao said arrogantly, “Because I’m powerful.”
Yun Shuang gritted her teeth. Bullsh*t! It’s just that your poison isn’t as deep as mine and you practice an ice cultivation technique. It’s more suitable to neutralize the Japanese voodoo than my cultivation technique!
Jiang Guanchao said, “If you circulate the Assassin Alliance’s ice cultivation technique three times, it should be able to relieve it greatly.”
Yun Shuang asked, “Where’s Ji Minglou?”
A trace of killing intent flashed across Jiang Guanchao’s eyes as he mocked, “You want him to detoxify you? Unfortunately, he overestimated himself and sparred with me. He was beaten up by me until he couldn’t get up. If this was your childhood sweetheart, you were really blind back then!”
What and what?
She was afraid that Ji Minglou would come to look for her for no reason. It was not appropriate for her to see a man at this moment, so she wanted Jiang Guanchao to help knock Ji Minglou out.
Why was it related to being sweethearts?
Ji Minglou was a hero of justice on Thousand Mountain Island back then, unlike this guy, who was an ice-faced killing machine wherever he went.
If she didn’t look for a hero of justice to be her childhood sweetheart, would she look for a killing weapon?
Yun Shuang said, “What does my blindness have to do with you?”
Jiang Guanchao said, “Of course it has nothing to do with me.”
Yun Shuang glared at him.
He did not avoid Yun Shuang’s gaze.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time.
Yun Shuang looked away and said stubbornly, “Either you disappear from my sight immediately, or… take off your clothes and lie on the bed.”
Jiang Guanchao was speechless.
