The Thousand Possibilities Pavilion never asked about things they shouldn’t ask.
After the transaction was completed and he gave his advice, Steward Li left.
The three of them sat in the room in silence.
Wei Ting had been on the island for so long, so he naturally knew more about the Assassin Alliance than before.
There were many sects on the island, but the only one who could openly do business in other countries was the Assassin Alliance. The Assassin Alliance’s status on the island was extraordinary.
Lu Aotian was also a little depressed.
“Sect Master Lu.”
Wei Ting called out to him.
Lu Aotian changed his usual arrogance and said listlessly, “I dare you to barge into other places. Forget about the Assassin Alliance. Everyone there is an assassin. It’s fatal.”
Wei Ting looked at Ling Yun again. “Is it really so evil?”
“Not really,” Ling Yun said. “It’s not evil. It’s death without an intact corpse.” Wei Ting was speechless.
Suddenly, Lu Aotian thought of something and asked belatedly, “Don’t you… know Jade-faced Rakshasa of the Assassin Alliance? You can look for him!” Ling Yun said nothing.
Wei Ting coughed lightly. “The ones locked up are my sixth brother and
Jade-faced Rakshasa.”
Lu Aotian fell off the chair in shock. “Grandpa! Rakshasa is also locked up!”
“Lower your voice.”
“Oh, oh, oh.’
Lu Aotian’s skin was thick, but it still hurt a little after falling.
He rubbed his butt and sat back on the stool. He asked, “What’s going on? The Assassin Alliance is locking up their own people? Is it because he brought an outsider to the island? It can’t be, right?”
Thousand Mountains Island was not too xenophobic. Many of the island’s residents returned by hiring boats from outside.
Some foreign boatmen lived on the island for months, waiting until April and October before leaving.
The City Lord had always turned a blind eye to this.
Lu Aotian probed, “Could he have… done something to let the Assassin Alliance down?”
Wei Ting answered him with silence.
Lu Aotian’s tiger body trembled. “That’s true! Then he’s dead for sure! Those who betray the Assassin Alliance have a tragic ending!”
“Let’s return to the Hundred Flowers Palace first and think about it.”
Wei Ting paused. “I don’t want to implicate the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
The Hundred Flowers Palace’s situation on the island had already attracted the envy and fear of many people. If they offended the Assassin Alliance, the situation would become even more difficult. Wei Ting said seriously, “Don’t tell Mother yet.”
Ling Yun said casually, “Up to you.”
After sending Lu Aotian back to the Fire Slaughter Sect, the two of them returned to the Hundred Flowers Palace.
Wei Xiaobao had just fed when she was carried to her grandfather by Dahu.
Su Xiaoxiao was taking a walk in the room. The doors and windows were open.
Wei Ting hurriedly walked over and said, “Didn’t Nanny say that you have to do your confinement properly?” Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I am doing it properly.” “Then why did you get out of bed?”
“I’ve had enough sleep. I came down for a walk.”
Seeing that she was indeed in good spirits, Wei Ting did not say anything else and planned to close the door.
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, “No, no, no. I want to take a breather. By the way, did you and Ling Yun ask about Su Xuan and Sixth Brother just now?”
Wei Ting hesitated.
Su Xiaoxiao understood what he was worried about and sighed. “I’m not tired. I’m really not tired. It’s as if I didn’t give birth to a child. I’m about to die of boredom. Tell me!”
Wei Ting hesitated for a moment before telling her about going to the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion.
Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “In that case, after they were separated from Dad at sea, they encountered people from the Assassin Alliance and were captured by them.”
Wei Ting nodded. “That should be the case.”
“Where’s the Assassin Alliance?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wei Ting took out a map of Thousand Mountain Island from the cabinet and pointed at the easternmost mountain range. “This is the Hundred Flowers Palace’s territory.”
Su Xiaoxiao blinked. ‘Wow, it’s so big.”
The Hundred Flowers Palace was said to have ten thousand acres of flower fields. Its sphere of influence was very wide.
It was just too remote.
Wei Ting’s fingertips went all the way west to the westernmost suburb of
Fengdu City. “This is the Assassin Alliance.”
Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “It spans the entire Thousand Mountain Island. Why does it look even more remote than the Hundred Flowers Palace?”
“The Assassin Alliance is located at the top of the mountain. The terrain is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack.”
Wei Ting was used to fighting wars. As soon as he analyzed the terrain, he could not help but have a strategic vision.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the map and said, “Are you secretly going up the mountain?”
Wei Ting pointed at the mountain range of the Assassin Alliance. “This mountain path is long enough. If I were from the Assassin Alliance, I would set up sentries along the way. No one can sneak into the Assassin Alliance silently.”
Su Xiaoxiao believed Wei Ting’s judgment. “This is much tighter than the
Cheng family’s mine.”
Wei Ting said, “It’s a natural advantage. The mountain road in the east can be seen clearly. There are three cliffs in the south, north, and west. The west is the steepest, and its defense is definitely the weakest.”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him deeply. “Don’t tell me you want to climb up from here? This is a cliff. You’ll die if you fall. Don’t forget that you haven’t recovered from your injuries.”
Wei Ting said, “This small injury is fine.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Do you need me to remind you how many stitches you have?”
Wei Ting smiled. “Are you so worried about me?”
Su Xiaoxiao said without changing her expression, “I’m afraid that Xiaobao will lose her father.”
Wei Ting gently pinched her chin with his slender fingers and kissed her lips.
As they kissed, he sensed that something was wrong.
He glanced around.
One, two, and three children had arrived at the side at some point and were looking at them with wide eyes.
Dahu was even carrying Wei Xiaobao.
Wei Xiaobao also opened her eyes.
The two of them hurriedly separated and sat up straight.
Wei Ting coughed lightly. “I’ll go look for Dad.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m going to sleep.”
The two of them stood up. Su Xiaoxiao walked out while Wei Ting walked in.
After a pause, the two of them turned back.
Wei Ting said seriously, “I think I went the wrong way.”
Su Xiaoxiao said solemnly, “Yes.”
Wei Ting left the house.
Su Xiaoxiao lay back on the bed and pulled down the curtain.
The three little ones looked at their parents curiously.
Xiaohu spread his hands. “Isn’t it just a kiss? Why are they being shy?”
Erhu raised his eyebrows. “That’s right!”
Dahu covered his sister’s eyes. “Sister, don’t look.”
Wei Xiaobao was dumbfounded.
Assassin Alliance.
In the gloomy dungeon, one could not even see their fingers.
Su Xuan’s hands were tied and placed on a cold iron torture rack.
His white clothes were covered in blood. Some had long dried up, and some had just flowed out of his wounds.
A chain passed through his lute bone. With every movement, hot blood flowed down the chain.
Endless pain tortured him, making his aura as weak as half a living dead.
Boom—
The stone door was opened.
A disciple pushed a man in a wheelchair.
The two of them were none other than Eighth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother, who had gone to the Southern Wilderness to look for the Jade-faced Rakshasa.
Ning Rufeng turned his face away.
Sixth Brother said, “Eighth Junior Brother, go forward a little more.”
Ning Rufeng said, “Sixth Senior Brother, that’s enough here. Be careful not to let him hurt you.”
“Can he hurt me?”
Sixth Brother pushed the wheelchair over, grabbed the chain under Su Xuan’s scapula bone, and suddenly pulled.
Su Xuan’s scapula bones almost split open as his flesh was pulled out.
Su Xuan broke out in cold sweat from the pain.
However, he gritted his teeth tightly and did not make a sound.
Sixth Brother sneered. “Junior Brother, you’re really stubborn. You can hold back from calling me that. Eighth Brother, go get the branding iron.”
Ning Rufeng muttered, “There’s no need…”
Sixth Senior Brother looked at Su Xuan coldly. He clenched his fist and used his internal energy to grab the red-hot branding iron.
Su Xuan looked at him coldly; there was not a trace of cowardice or surrender in his eyes.
Sixth Brother narrowed his eyes and mercilessly imprinted the hot branding iron on Su Xuan’s scarred chest!
