As Wei Xiaobao looked up at Su Xiaoxiao again, her black grape-like eyes were filled with disbelief.
She seemed to be saying, “Not a bite left. This isn’t true!”
Wei Xiaobao tried her best to burrow into her mother’s arms.
Regardless, she wanted to feed!
Su Xiaoxiao took the milk bottle in amusement. “Here.”
Wei Xiaobao stretched out her feet.
Her feet refused!
It was not that Wei Xiaobao was hungry. She just wanted to drink her mother’s milk. If she could not have it, she would not make do. She used her small feet to push the milk bottle in disdain.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the proud little fellow and felt both ashamed and amused at the same time.
Human cubs were too cute.
Wei Xiaobao was a little clingy tonight. She was not playing alone in the cradle like usual, nor did she need Nanny and Xing’er to carry her.
As long as it was Su Xiaoxiao.
“Little scoundrel.”
Su Xiaoxiao carried her to Su Xuan’s room.
Ling Yun was also there.
The two of them sat on both sides of the chessboard.
Su Xuan drank his tea leisurely. Ling Yun sat upright without moving, looking like his body had been hollowed out and he had nothing to live for.
Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion, “Ling Yun, what’s wrong? It’s only been two days since we last met. Why do you look like you were beaten up?”
Ling Yun looked at Su Xuan expressionlessly.
Su Xuan sighed. “How can taking care of a child not be tiring?”
“Did you take care of her?”
Su Xuan smiled quietly. “Do we need to be so calculative between us?”
Ling Yun muttered, “I’m not familiar with you!”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. Why did she feel a little redundant?
“How’s the progress of the martial arts competition?” Su Xuan held the book in his hand and changed the topic with a smile.
Su Xiaoxiao walked over and sat down.
Su Xuan pulled the cradle over. “Xiaobao, come.”
When he went to hug Wei Xiaobao, Wei Xiaobao hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Why are you able to carry her?”
Su Xuan smiled. “Because I’m good-looking?”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Su Xuan gently placed Wei Xiaobao in the cradle.
Wei Xiaobao’s eyes were starry as she ate her hands and looked at her beautiful uncle.
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched. She was so young. She couldn’t be obsessed with looks…
Su Xiaoxiao briefly explained the situation of the martial arts competition.
When he heard that more than one group of disciples had fought, Su Xuan said softly, “The rules have changed a lot this year.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked the two of them, “Have you seen it in the past?”
Su Xuan said, “I’ve never been there. What about you?”
Ling Yun said calmly, “I’m not interested.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “When I left, Eldest Cousin was fighting with Jiang Guanchao’s seventh disciple. The disciples of the Seven Absolutes Sect didn’t attack and stayed at the side. They probably wanted to reap the benefits. He must have miscalculated.”
Su Xuan said firmly, “My brother won’t lose this match.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Although I didn’t finish watching, Eldest Cousin clearly has the upper hand. It’s only a matter of time before he wins. Next are Senior Brother Qian Yao and You Ming and Chen Yu from the Assassin Alliance. Senior Brother Qian Yao withdrew because of his injuries. I wonder who will advance.”
“You Ming,” Su Xuan said without thinking.
You Ming’s martial arts were far above Chen Yu’s. It was impossible for Chen Yu to be his match.
Ling Yun said, “Su Mo will eliminate one, and the Assassin Alliance will eliminate one among themselves. In other words, there are still two left.”
Su Xuan analyzed, “The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion’s Slave Killer has advanced, so the Young Master of the Hidden Sword Villa should be able to advance too. It’s not easy to guess the rest. The martial arts of the Heavenly Jade Hall are not bad, but the Walkabout Sect is not bad either.”
At the mention of the Walkabout Sect, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but look at Ling Yun. “The Ghost Concubine and Mother seem to know each other? Are they friends?”
Ling Yun said, “They can’t be considered friends. They’ve only met once. The Walkabout Sect uses bewitching techniques and curse techniques as their ultimate techniques. The various sects on the island look down on them and call them the Demon Sect. Wuyou, who’s beside Xiahou Yan, is from the Walkabout Sect.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously, “Is the Walkabout Sect related to Xiahou Yan?”
Ling Yun shook his head. “Xiahou Yan asked the Ghost Concubine for Wuyou himself.”
Su Xiaoxiao was enlightened. “I see.”
Ling Yun recalled. “The Walkabout Sect’s reputation on the island has always been bad. When I was young, the Walkabout Sect was only a small sect that could not even compare to the Fire Slaughter Sect. A few small disciples of the Walkabout Sect encountered a group of shameless people on the streets. My mother brought me along and taught them a lesson. At that time, Ghost Concubine was only twelve or thirteen years old. She was sallow and thin. Her clothes were not covering her body and she was covered in wounds. My mother casually gave her a set of clothes and left.”
Ghost Concubine flashed across Su Xiaoxiao’s mind and she sighed. “I didn’t expect the Ghost Concubine to have such an experience.”
She had always known that Mother Palace Lord was kind and righteous, but the sadness behind Ghost Concubine’s glory was something she had never expected.
Ling Yun glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. “Don’t be deceived by the Ghost Concubine’s attitude towards my mother. She’s an extremely ruthless person. After she became the Sect Master, all the people who bullied her were slaughtered by her. A few of them had their faces peeled and made into human drums for beauties to dance on.”
What a crazy beauty!
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened.
How would the Ghost Concubine cause trouble for the Five Poison Sect and the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion?
She suddenly looked forward to what was going on.
Thinking of these two sects that had harmed Senior Brother Qian Yao, Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “Senior Brother Qian Yao was seriously injured this time. Fortunately, he survived. However, there’s something I don’t understand.
“Tell me,” Ling Yun said.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “The duels are decided by drawing lots on the day. In other words, the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion and the Five Poisons Sect didn’t know that I would go against the Five Poisons Sect and the Walkabout Sect, let alone that the Walkabout Sect would help me. The Five Poisons Sect probably used the Mental Confusion Powder to poison Senior Brother Qian Yao on a whim. They went to the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion at the last minute to buy the Mental Confusion Powder, but they actually bought it on the spot. Could it be that the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion carries the unique poison of the Walkabout Sect with them?”
She had come to this suspicion in the carriage back to the Hundred Flowers Palace.
It was impossible for the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion to cheat in the draw.
If the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion had this ability, they would not have arranged for the Slave Killer and his fellow disciples to fight together.
“There’s only one possibility,” Su Xuan said. “The Ghost Concubine has a traitor beside her. That person is a spy planted by the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion in the Walkabout Sect. The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion definitely didn’t agree to this deal for some benefits of the Five Poison Sect… This is a warning.”
Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “Warning?”
Su Xuan said, “It’s a warning from Xiahou Yi.”
Su Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, “Why did he give us a warning? Did our actions make him uneasy? What is he afraid of?!”
Su Xuan looked at the endless night. “He’s afraid that we’ll enter the Library Depository and discover the secrets of Thousand Mountain Island and the Xiahou family.”
In the palace.
Lou Bufan, who had been busy all day, finally returned to his room.
He asked the servant to get water. The servant asked him if he wanted supper, but he rejected him.
At his age, he had to eat less at night.
There was a brocade box on the table. Inside was the gold used by the Five Poison Sect to buy the Mental Confusion Powder. It was a heavy box.
That person asked him to teach the Hundred Flowers Palace a lesson. He was just worried that he wouldn’t have a chance to do it when the Five Poison Sect gave him a pillow.
Later, he would contact the Walkabout Sect’s spy and understand the Ghost Concubine’s attitude.
Lou Bufan sat down on the chair and casually took it.
However, the moment he opened the brocade box, he shuddered!
There was no yellow gold inside, only a head that was glaring at him!
