The Gusu Mistake - Chapter 54

“Where exactly is the ice toad?” Following Jiang Ze for a long distance without stopping, Wu Yunfei was losing his patience. “Are you toying with me?”

Jiang Ze was also in a panic, but without Jiang Yilan, he couldn’t escape on his own. So he could only grit his teeth and stall for time. “The ice toad is precious, so I have to hide it well!”

“Don’t play any tricks!” Wu Yunfei’s patience was running out, but his desire for the ice toad kept him going. Still, he was becoming more irritable. “If you stall any longer, I’ll kill you right now!”

Jiang Ze’s palms were sweaty, but he maintained a calm facade until a lake blocked their path, leaving no way to go further.

Wu Yunfei narrowed his eyes. “Is the ice toad here?”

“…” Jiang Ze opened his mouth, but no words came out.

“You’re toying with me!” Wu Yunfei drew his sword and thrust it directly at Jiang Ze’s face.

At this point, Jiang Ze knew he couldn’t stall any longer and had to face the situation. “You killed my whole family. Do you really think I don’t know?”

A murderous glint flashed in Wu Yunfei’s eyes. “So you knew all along that I was the one who led the attack and wiped out the Jiang family!”

Jiang Ze gritted his teeth. “Yes, I’ve known all along!”

“Then why did you lead me here?” Wu Yunfei suddenly realized. “You wanted to lure me out of the Han family?”

Jiang Ze sneered. “What if I did?”

Wu Yunfei instinctively started to turn back, but the anger at Jiang Ze’s deception surged, and he couldn’t let it go. “You dare to trick me. Today, I’ll send you to be with your Jiang family!”

Wu Yunfei waved his hand, and his subordinates swarmed Jiang Ze.

Jiang Ze’s fighting skills weren’t bad, but he couldn’t withstand the continuous assault. Especially when Wu Yunfei ordered his men to release Jiang Yuan.

“Don’t blame me for doing this to you. It’s just that the ice toad…”

Jiang Yuan stared at Wu Yunfei for a moment. Of course, he didn’t dare to blame him, so he directed all his resentment towards Jiang Ze. “Jiang Ze, go to hell!”

Jiang Yuan thrust his sword directly at Jiang Ze’s back. Jiang Ze was tangled up with Wu Yunfei’s men and couldn’t break free. Just as he was about to be killed, a clang was heard, and Jiang Yuan’s sword was knocked aside.

“Big Brother!” After deflecting Jiang Yuan’s sword with a stone, Jiang Yilan’s sleeve sword was drawn and shot toward his neck.

“Ugh…” Jiang Yuan felt a chill on his neck. He only had time to make a small sound before blood gushed out. He staggered back a few steps and fell to the ground.

“Little sister, you’re finally here!” Seeing Jiang Yilan arrive, the weight on Jiang Ze’s heart finally lifted.

“Sorry, Big Brother, I’m late!” Jiang Yilan said while fighting.

“Jiang Yilan, it’s you again!” Wu Yunfei was enraged to see Jiang Yilan, who had repeatedly ruined his plans. He was about to join the fight when another person leaped in. “Han Yan?”

Wu Yunfei was afraid of Han Yan. So, as soon as he saw her, he didn’t even bother with his subordinates, sheathed his sword, and retreated.

With Wu Yunfei gone and Jiang Yuan dead, the remaining enemies were easy to deal with. In a short while, they were all killed on the spot.

“Big Brother, are you okay? Are you hurt?” After going through a life-and-death situation, Jiang Yilan’s earlier resentment disappeared completely, replaced only by concern for her family.

Jiang Ze lifted his left hand and covered the wound. “Just a small cut, it’s nothing!”

Jiang Yilan didn’t care. She pulled Jiang Ze’s hand, took out some medicinal powder to carefully treat the wound, and finally tore a strip of cloth from her clothes to bandage it. “You’re hurt. Don’t worry about the rest. Find a place to rest!”

Jiang Ze asked in a hurry, “Where are you going, little sister?”

Jiang Yilan said, “To the Han family, of course. The killer is there. How can I let him go?”

Jiang Ze then remembered that Wu Yunfei had been there earlier. “Did he run away?”

“He ran!” Yuan Ruo chimed in. “But it’s okay. We’ll find him and settle the score!”

“I’ll go too!” Jiang Ze announced, but Jiang Yilan didn’t respond. She only asked:

“Is the ice toad still there?”

“Yes!” Jiang Ze took out the box containing the ice toad and handed it to Jiang Yilan.

Jiang Yilan took the ice toad. “Big Brother, come with me!”

Jiang Yilan led Jiang Ze to where Han Qing, his wife, and Han Ming were hiding. She first used the ice toad to cure their poison, then returned the ice toad to Jiang Ze. “Big Brother, you stay here and protect them for me and Yuan Ruo!”

“Protect them?” Jiang Ze glanced at the three Han family members. “You mean you don’t want me to go to the Han family with you?”

Jiang Yilan shook her head gently. “Now that only the two of us are left of the Jiang family, you can’t get hurt. Besides, you’re injured and shouldn’t go!”

“It’s a small wound, it’s nothing!” Jiang Ze waved his hand. “I can help!”

Jiang Yilan still shook her head gently. “You must stay. Reviving the Jiang family in the future will depend entirely on you!”

“Little sister…”

“Big Brother, please listen!” Jiang Yilan interrupted Jiang Ze. “Just stay here. Yuan Ruo is with me. Nothing will happen to us!”

“Sigh!” Jiang Ze couldn’t argue and sighed. “Little sister, what you’re doing makes me feel so ashamed!”

“Heh!” Jiang Yilan chuckled lightly, not bothering to dwell on what Jiang Ze was ashamed of. “I don’t want to dwell on the past. Big Brother, you don’t have to either!”

“But…”

“Just live well!” Jiang Yilan interrupted Jiang Ze again. “I don’t want to be left without a single family member in this world!”
