Chapter 1887: Chapter 941: Defying Heaven and Changing Fate (Part 2)

Gu Jiao nodded: "That’s right, like Long Yi. Long Yi is indeed going to find the Jianlu, and apart from him, it’s hard to think of anyone else with such prowess."

"Cough, cough!"

Xiao Ji coughed heavily twice.

The three of them all looked at him in unison.

Xiao Hen was speechless: Father, at this time, you don’t need to pretend?

Gu Jiao touched her delicate little chin and said, "Long Yi and you went to Jianlu Island after the beginning of spring, and Xuanyuan Qi and the young master of Jianlu left with the sect master’s sword last month. It seems there really is another way to land on Jianlu Island."

Chang Jing confirmed her guess: "Yes, the entrance mechanisms to Jianlu Island are numerous, but we know of a secret passage. However, how Long Yi got up there is unknown; did he also take that secret route?"

Xiao Ji raised an eyebrow: "Who says it must be Long Yi?"

Saying that, he understood in his heart that if Jianlu was indeed exterminated by one person, that person could only be Long Yi.

Gu Jiao furrowed her small brows in confusion: "But why would Long Yi destroy Jianlu? He himself is a person of Jianlu. Does he have a deep grudge with Jianlu?"

Xiao Hen paused and speculated: "He didn’t complete the task Jianlu gave him back in the day, perhaps Jianlu wanted to clear house and made a move on him first."

Gu Jiao pondered and nodded: "Makes sense. But I still don’t understand, Long Yi gave up his task back then? He suddenly stopped trying to kill Xuanyuan Qi, it’s really strange."

Xiao Hen sighed: "This will only become clear when Long Yi returns. Let’s hope he’s regained all of his memories."

Gu Jiao: "Alright."

Xiao Hen held Gu Jiao’s hand, feeling a weight lifted off his mind: "Anyway, now that Jianlu has been exterminated, your crisis is also eliminated."

"What crisis?" Chang Jing was puzzled, looking at Gu Jiao, and asked, "Was someone from Jianlu trying to kill you?"

The story is long, Gu Jiao thought for a moment, and said: "It’s roughly like that."

Gu Jiao is the commander of the Xuanyuan family’s Hei Fengqi, and had a feud with Jianlu at the border pass, so it was not surprising that Jianlu people wanted to kill her.

Thinking of this, Chang Jing had no doubts and said: "Then you don’t have to worry anymore. Ah, but wait, didn’t you say there was a young master left from Jianlu? Oh, it’s nothing, he was poisoned by the island’s poison, and he will find out the poison master who can cure it is also dead when he returns. Even if he survives, his martial arts will be completely wasted."

Gu Jiao asked: "I forgot to ask earlier, he’s the young master, why was he poisoned?"

Xiao Ji had a good impression of him. When he and Chang Jing first arrived at Dark Night Island, it was this man who received them.

Li Shuo’s full name is Li Jiangping, and he holds an elder position at Dark Night Gate. Xiao Ji courteously addressed him as Elder Li.

"Marquis Xiao." Li Jiangping smiled, clasped his hands, and bowed to him.

Li Jiangping was married into the island and was highly valued by Chang Kun. Besides being skilled in martial arts and fiercely loyal, he was meticulous and resourceful, making him a rarity among the rough-hewn masters.

It was he who discovered the tracks of Jianlu Island back in the day.

Chang Jing glanced at Li Shuo, then said to Xiao Ji: "This time, thanks to Uncle Li speaking for me, otherwise my father wouldn’t have agreed to this marriage."

Xiao Ji was furious: "There wasn’t a marriage to begin with!"

Chang Jing pouted: "What I meant was, finding a reason to come see you... also, you owe me a few boxes of marbles."

Xiao Ji’s whole body trembled: So that was your real reason for leaving the island!

He really didn’t want to see this brat anymore. With his hands clasped behind his back, he stormed off ahead.
