Chapter 1425: Wei Xiaobao Is Here
Editor: Atlas Studios
Nie Jinfeng looked at the empty courtyard. Her heart, which had experienced disappointment time and time again, was riddled with holes. It hurt so much that her entire body was trembling.
Elder Qiu’s expression turned solemn bit by bit.
“Why did you leave?”
Wei Liulang muttered, “Did the Wei family not greet you well?”
His first reaction was that Jiang Guanchao was uncomfortable living in the Wei family, so he left.
Coincidentally, Wei Xu returned from court.
Wei Liulang immediately said seriously, “Dad, did you fight with Alliance Master Jiang last night?”
Wei Xu coughed guiltily and straightened his back. “That was called a spar. Besides, he attacked first!”
Wei Liulang asked, “So you chased Alliance Master Jiang away?”
Wei Xu said seriously, “Of course not! Your grandmother is watching!”
Moreover, he clearly sensed that Jiang Guanchao’s martial arts had improved a lot. It would not be so easy for him to hurt him.
“This guy has been on the sea recently. He’s either taking care of Xiaobao or on the way to doing so. How can he have the time to practice martial arts? Did he encounter some good fortune?”
After Wei Xu finished muttering to himself, he suddenly reacted and looked at his son. “You said that Jiang Guanchao ran away?”
Wei Liulang pointed at the clean table. “Yes! He took all the luggage with him!”
Yun Shuang said, “Jiang Guanchao’s departure has nothing to do with the Wei family. He left the island on a mission and never planned to come to the Great Zhou. It was Xiaobao who couldn’t leave him… I didn’t know the way to the capital, so he sent us here.”
Wei Xiaobao being by his mother’s side was the best time for Jiang Guanchao to leave.
“Oh.”
Wei Liulang was relieved.
He looked at Nie Jinfeng, whose eyes were red, and comforted her. “Granny, don’t be sad. Perhaps he’s not your son?”
Nie Jinfeng, who was not comforted, was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Shuang. “Mother, did Alliance Master Jiang mention where he was going?”
Yun Shuang shook her head. “No, the Assassin Alliance’s ship left after sending us to the border of the Great Zhou. I don’t know where Qi Yao and the others went.”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Did Mother notice when he left?”
Yun Shuang shook her head again.
The Ghostfear suggested, “Why don’t we split up and search?”
After Jiang Guanchao left the Wei family, he went north out of the capital.
He guessed that the Wei family might look for him, so he specially chose a high-grade horse and passed several towns in a day.
In the evening, he found a courier station to stay.
Just as he was about to rest, a group of black-robed men also checked into the inn.
Jiang Guanchao heard their conversation.
They spoke Japanese and were all armed with ninja sabers.
It might be related to the Japanese assassins last night.
The Japanese assassins last night was clearly targeting the Wei family. The Wei family’s matters had nothing to do with him, so he couldn’t be bothered.
He undressed and lay down.
Just as he closed his eyes, he heard a baby’s cry.
He opened his eyes.
“Wuwa—Wuwa—”
The baby’s cry came from the direction of the Japanese assassins.
The eight or nine-month-old baby cried his heart out.
It was not Wei Xiaobao.
She didn’t cry easily. Ordinary people couldn’t withstand her cries.
He saved Wei Xiaobao because he owed Yun Shuang a favor. What did this child’s life and death have to do with him?
He was a killer.
Not a Bodhisattva.
“Let go of my children—you let go of my children—ah—”
The woman’s miserable cries echoed in the courtyard.
There were guards at the courier station.
The outcome was obvious. They were no match for the Japanese assassins.
“Woah—”
The child cried until he could not breathe.
Jiang Guanchao was distraught. He walked out with a cold expression and kicked open the other party’s door!
The few Japanese assassins looked at him.
The others instinctively asked in Japanese, “Who is it?”
Jiang Guanchao said coldly, “Let go of that child and get out of the courier station. I don’t have the patience to tangle with you. If you can understand, get lost. If you can’t, I can only kill you!”
Among them, there were people who understood the language of the Central Plains language. They translated it to their companions in Japanese.
His companions all revealed ferocious expressions and touched the ninja knives behind them.
Jiang Guanchao gave them a deathly stare.
Fifteen minutes later.
Jiang Guanchao stepped over the corpse under his feet expressionlessly and calmly left the room.
“Hero!”
The woman chased after him with the rescued child and kowtowed in a choked voice. “Thank you for saving my life!”
Jiang Guanchao said calmly, “I just find it noisy.”
The woman said gratefully, “Recently, a group of people came out of nowhere and focused on catching babies born in August. Many children in the neighboring village have gone missing. If I hadn’t met you today, I’m afraid…”
Jiang Guanchao stopped in his tracks. “Born in August?”
The woman nodded. “Yes, a few of the missing are children born in August.”
Suspicion flashed across Jiang Guanchao’s eyes.
Wei Xiaobao’s birthday was on August 29th.
Could it be that the Japanese assassin had sneaked into the residence last night to target the little fat girl?
“Abba-Abba.”
He felt he must have been possessed and actually heard the little fat girl’s voice.
Jiang Guanchao cleared his mind.
The little fat girl was a member of the Wei family. He had already returned Yun Shuang’s favor. From now on, the little fat girl’s life and death had nothing to do with him.
“Abba-Abba?”
A baby crawled over on all fours.
Jiang Guanchao stiffened.
Wei Xiaobao sat on the ground and stretched out her chubby arms to Jiang Guanchao. “Aba, Aba.”
Jiang Guanchao was stunned!
Why was this little fellow here?
Wei Xiaobao didn’t get a hug and tilted her head. “Aba, Aba?”
Jiang Guanchao looked around.
Wei Xiaobao went crazy. “Aba, Aba!”
Her butt hurt!
Jiang Guanchao picked Wei Xiaobao up from the hard limestone floor.
He looked around and said solemnly, “Girl, this joke isn’t funny!”
The girl was referring to Su Xiaoxiao.
No one responded to him.
He thought for a moment and said coldly, “Wei Xu! Come out!”
Still no one responded to him.
Jiang Guanchao was furious. “What’s wrong with your Wei family? Do you throw your children everywhere?”
“Wu Wa Wa Wa!”
Wei Xiaobao exaggeratedly shook her chubby body, looking frightened.
Jiang Guanchao thought of what the woman had said just now.
Could it be… that the Japanese assassins had stolen Wei Xiaobao from the Wei family?
Jiang Guanchao carried Wei Xiaobao out of the courier station and bumped into Yun Shuang.
The moment Yun Shuang saw the two of them, her worried heart finally calmed down.
Who would understand? The child in her arms suddenly disappeared.
Fortunately, she guessed that Jiang Guanchao was nearby.
Indeed, that was the case
Jiang Guanchao said coldly, “Why can’t you even take care of a child?”
With this questioning tone, those who didn’t know better would think that he was Wei Xiaobao’s biological grandfather.
Yun Shuang said, “Isn’t it all because of you?”
If she had not been looking for him, how could Xiaobao have followed her out?
Jiang Guanchao looked at her curiously. “I’ve only been gone for a day.”
What was the Wei family doing?
If they could not even defend against a few Japanese assassins, did he have to do it?
Yes, Xiaobao can’t leave you for a day…
Yun Shuang said sourly, “Go ahead and show off.”
Jiang Guanchao said, “Why am I showing off? Isn’t this the truth?”
Something happened to the little fat girl after he left for a day. Wei Xu was useless!
The two of them whistled in the wind and were filled with anger.
Soon, the official came to the courier station.
Jiang Guanchao couldn’t be bothered to deal with the officials. He carried Wei Xiaobao and left.
“Hey!”
Yun Shuang frowned and followed.
The two of them arrived in town.
This place was not as lively as the capital, but there were many shops and stalls along the streets.
Wei Xiaobao looked at a stall selling glutinous rice balls. “Aba, Aba!”
Yun Shuang said, “You can’t eat it.”
Jiang Guanchao carried Wei Xiaobao to the small table in front of the stall and sat down.
As his tall and muscular body sat on the small stool, he was feeling a little aggrieved.
Wei Xiaobao was extremely happy and kept struggling.
Yun Shuang walked over and sat down.
Jiang Guanchao glanced around and said strangely, “Why are there so many children in the Central Plains?”
Yun Shuang agreed for once. “Yes, there have been more children recently.”
In the past, when she walked on the island, she could see sect disciples everywhere. Ever since she had Wei Xiaobao, she felt that there was a child everywhere.
An aunt sat down opposite the two of them with a crying baby. “My good grandson, don’t cry, don’t cry. Your mother will come later… Sigh… Why hasn’t she come after so long?”
The child cried.
Wei Xiaobao stopped struggling and looked at the baby curiously.
The aunt also saw Wei Xiaobao and her… “parents”.
“How old are you?”
The aunt asked with a smile.
Yun Shuang was about to speak when Jiang Guanchao said calmly, “Eight months and thirteen days.”
The aunt was surprised. “It’s only been more than eight months. My grandson is a year old, but he’s not as fat as your daughter!”
Yun Shuang looked at the child in her arms. He was indeed much smaller than Wei Xiaobao.
If she didn’t say it, she would probably think that the child was only seven months old.
Yun Shuang had never thought that perhaps her child was too fat and was a proper young warrior.
The aunt’s grandson cried.
The aunt’s gaze landed on Yun Shuang’s clothes. She smiled and said to Yun Shuang, “I can tell that you have a lot of milk. My grandson is starving. Please do me a favor and feed my grandson!”
Yun Shuang’s expression froze.
The aunt stood up and was about to hand the child over when she was stopped by a large hand.
The aunt looked at Jiang Guanchao in confusion.
Jiang Guanchao also looked at her with a calm and cold gaze. “She’s never fed the child. I have been feeding her.”
The aunt did not know that Jiang Guanchao was feeding powdered milk.
She looked at Jiang Guanchao’s tight and full chest.
The aunt looked at it for a full three seconds and was stunned with her grandson in her arms!
