Chapter 1330: Wei Xu Returns to the Island
Editor: Atlas Studios
As the weather became colder, there were fewer fruits and prey on the island.
In order to catch a few big birds, Su Li squatted in the col for a full four hours. When he returned to the cave where he rested with the prey, the sky was already dark.
There was a bonfire in the cave, but Princess Hui An was nowhere to be seen.
“Eh? Where did they go?”
Su Li muttered in confusion.
Sliding down, a sword reached over from behind him and the cold blade was placed on his neck.
Right on the heels of that was a cold and hoa.r.s.e voice. “Hand over my master, or I’ll kill you.”
Su Li was stunned at first, but then he looked at the shadow cast by the fire on the side wall.
After confirming that he had not heard wrongly, he was delighted. “After living on the island for so long, someone finally came over!”
The person behind him was stunned and said in a low voice, “I’m threatening you! If you dare to move again, I’ll cut off your arm first!”
Su Li looked up at the sky speechlessly. “Which arm would you cut off, Wei Yan?”
Wei Liulang was shocked and regained his voice. “You can tell? I clearly spent a lot of effort practicing my voice.”
Su Li turned around and said casually, “Your arm is reflecting light. It’s almost blinding me!”
“I can flash behind you!”
Wei Liulang expressed his doubts.
However, his golden arm was indeed very flashy!
Wei Liulang looked at Su Li. “Wow, are you living such a miserable life?”
Su Li asked, “Why? Are you gloating?”
Wei Liulang said honestly, “A little.”
Su Li rolled her eyes at him. “Why are you on the island? Where’s Princess Hui An?”
Wei Liulang said, “Princess Hui An has boarded the ship. My father asked me to pick you up. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Let’s go, let’s talk on the way!”
Su Li’s expression instantly turned serious. “My father is here too?”
Wei Liulang: “It’s my father!”
“Dad…”
Su Li rushed out of the cave.
Wei Liulang said, “I said it’s my father! Not your father!”
Su Li did not care.
Who asked him to be recognized as the young Wei Ting in the southern border?
Then he would acknowledge Wei Xu as his father for the rest of his life, haha!

It was dawn.
A dazzling golden light shone through the gap in the deck and into the small room of the cabin.
Jiang Guanchao’s eyelids twitched as he opened his eyes with difficulty.
The morning light pierced his eyes and he immediately closed them. It took him a while to adapt.
“Master! You’re awake?”
It was Chen Yu’s excited and worried voice.
Jiang Guanchao’s throat felt like it was burning. He had no strength in his body, and there was a faint pain in his chest.
“Where… is this?”
He asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice.
“On the Hundred Flowers Palace’s ship,” Chen Yu said in a low voice. “Wei Xu is holding us captive on the ship.”
Even a top expert like his master had been defeated by Wei Xu. The blow to Chen Yu was huge.
He could no longer be arrogant, at least in front of Wei Xu.
Jiang Guanchao remembered his duel with Wei Xu. Wei Xu had stabbed a sharp stone into his chest.
Wei Xu had a chance to kill him.
“Are you injured?” Jiang Guanchao asked Chen Yu.
Chen Yu shook his head. “I didn’t. Wei Xu didn’t hurt me. He just sealed my internal energy.”
Knock, knock, knock.
Footsteps sounded on the steps.
Chen Yu stood up warily and protected Jiang Guanchao.
“Go out first.”
Jiang Guanchao said to his disciple.
He was seriously injured and did not even have the strength to speak.
Chen Yu turned to look at Jiang Guanchao. “But…”
Jiang Guanchao looked at Wei Xu. “You can’t stop him from killing me.”
Chen Yu clenched his fists and left.
Wei Xu was here to change his dressing.
Although he could also get Wei Liulang to come, a crazy expert like Jiang Guanchao might kill him even if he had a trace of strength.
Jiang Guanchao looked at Wei Xu in confusion. “Why didn’t you kill me?”
Wei Xu hooked a stool over with his foot and sat down by the bed. “Would you believe me if I said I couldn’t bear to kill you?”
Jiang Guanchao asked, “Who do you think is more stupid?”
Wei Xu placed the medicine on the table. “I didn’t kill you because you’re more valuable alive than dead.”
Jiang Guanchao said calmly, “Don’t think that I’ll let you off just like that.”
Wei Xu said seriously, “I’ll tell you the same thing. I’m only not killing you for the time being, but it doesn’t mean that I’m really sympathetic to you. When it’s time to kill you, I’ll personally go to the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance to take your life.”
After changing Jiang Guanchao’s dressing, Wei Xu went up with the old gauze.
Looking at Wei Xu’s back, a trace of confusion flashed across Jiang Guanchao’s eyes.

On the deck, Wei Liulang quickly walked over. “Dad, are you really not going to kill Jiang Guanchao?”
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Yu, who was sizing up the father and son not far away. He waved his hand in disdain. “Go away! Who allowed you to eavesdrop! Do you believe that I’ll cut off your ear!”
Chen Yu snorted. “If you have the ability, unseal my internal energy and fight me to your heart’s content?”
Wei Liulang placed his hands on his hips. “Are you trying to goad me? Heh, dream on! So what if I don’t undo your internal strength?”
Chen Yu said, “You’re just relying on your father’s abilities.”
Wei Liulang said arrogantly, “So what? If you’re not convinced, let your master get up!”
“Shameless.”
With that, Chen Yu coldly went to the cabin.
“Tsk.” Wei Liulang waved his hand and turned to look at Wei Xu. “Dad, you haven’t answered me. Why didn’t you kill Jiang Guanchao?”
Wei Xu said, “He’s not Xiahou Yi’s lackey.”
Wei Liulang scratched his head. “That’s it?”
If Second Brother and Little Seven were here, they would have understood long ago… Forget it, he was his biological child.
Wei Xu said patiently, “Xiahou Yi has already reached into the Thousand Possibilities Pavilion, Heavenly Jade Hall, and even the Hundred Flowers Palace. The a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance is next. The only one who can stop Xiahou Yi is Jiang Guanchao. As long as he’s alive, the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance won’t fall into Xiahou Yi’s hands.”
The a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance was too powerful. If it became Xiahou Yi’s force, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although it was unlikely that the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance would become an ally of the Hundred Flowers Palace, as long as the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance did not cause trouble, it would already be a huge help to them.
Wei Xu added, “Jiang Guanchao is seriously injured. He can’t find trouble with us in the short term.”
At this point, Wei Liulang completely understood.
That old thing, Xiahou Yi, was ambitious and wished he could control all the forces on the island.
The Hundred Flowers Palace had fallen out with the City Lord Manor because of Yun Xi and refused to acknowledge anyone.
Jiang Guanchao had no ambition for the Xiahou family’s power and was strong enough. He would not submit to Xiahou Yi.
Jiang Guanchao only needed the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance to firmly occupy the number one sect on Thousand Mountains Island.
Wei Liulang nodded. “In that case, let Jiang Guanchao live. His disciples don’t seem to be capable of withstanding Xiahou Yi’s schemes and methods.”
Once Jiang Guanchao died, the a.s.sa.s.sin Alliance would definitely collapse. That would be a good opportunity for Xiahou Yi to take advantage of the situation.
Wei Xu would not give Xiahou Yi this chance.

It was winter on Thousand Mountains Island.
Although it was not snowing, the wind was cold.
The family gathered in the warm pavilion of the Flying Cloud Palace. The three little ones rolled on the ground.
Wei Xiaobao sat in Uncle Immortal’s arms and giggled.
Wei Xiaobao was three months old and could laugh.
At the side, Ghostfear secretly clenched his fists.
He was not jealous of Second Brother at all!
