All of us are one

Chapter 103 is left to A-Ming to handle.

"Wait me a moment."

Jiang Yanming got up and dressed. After a period of rest, the dizziness in his head had lessened.

He quickly dressed and opened the door to see Leng Tong and Wang Chen.

Leng Tong cupped his hands and said, "Young Alliance Leader, not long ago Senior Liang sent someone to say that the fleet would arrive at Twin Islands by noon at the latest."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming went outside and saw that the sails were filled with the sea breeze. He couldn't help but say, "If the sea breeze doesn't stop, we can arrive before noon."

Wang Chen continued, "Senior Liang said that if the fleet arrives at Twin Islands before noon, the three major families will hold a farewell banquet for the young leader."

"Logically speaking, I should be the one hosting a thank-you banquet for Senior Liang and the others," Jiang Yanming said, shaking his head slightly. "Tell Senior Liang that if the fleet arrives before noon, I will definitely attend the banquet."

"Yes," Leng Tong replied, and then prepared to head to the ship where Liang Qingheng was.

That's right, Liang Qingheng wasn't on the same boat as Jiang Yanming, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to deliver the message.

Jiang Yanming looked at the direction the ship was sailing and thought to himself, "I wonder if I'll be able to see Uncle Li and the others on Twin Islands."

.........

Twin Islands.

Inside a room on the second floor of the Dajiang League headquarters.

Li Kun, dressed in navy blue casual clothes, sat idly in a chair drinking tea. Uncle Zhou and Old Deng were playing chess next to him, while Uncle Chen watched the game.

"After we finish this game of chess, shall we play cards?" Li Kun asked.

"We've been playing cards every day on the ship, I'm tired of it," Old Deng said, shaking his head. "We've finally arrived at Twin Islands, we have to play chess for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Li Kun sighed softly, "How boring. What's the point of playing chess?"

"Chess is all about strategy, while card games are all about luck," Old Deng laughed. "I've had worse luck than you all this time, and I've lost a lot of money to you."

"You care about that little bit of money?" Li Kun asked.

"I don't care," Old Deng shook his head. "I'm a citizen of the Divine Martial Kingdom, and I'll eventually return to the Divine Martial Kingdom. What use are those coins to me?"

"If you don't care, why bring up the money you lost to me?" Li Kun shrugged.

"Brother Deng cares about the process, not the result," Uncle Zhou said softly. "You've won most of the way. If you hadn't lost a few later, I would have suspected you of cheating."

"My card-playing etiquette is renowned," Li Kun said. "Besides, cheating in front of you would only make me look foolish."

"It's precisely because I know you didn't cheat that I don't want to play cards with you," Uncle Chen said calmly. "Your luck those few days was too good, abnormally good."

"You're just envious of my luck." Li Kun chuckled and shook his head. "Judging by the time, A-Ming should arrive in the next few days."

"It depends on the wind direction," Uncle Zhou replied. "If it were a smooth journey, we would have arrived long ago. If it's against the wind, it will take another two or three days."

"A few more days won't make a difference. Waiting a few more days won't hurt." Old Deng placed a chess piece and said, "I haven't been back to Shenwu Kingdom for eight years. I've almost forgotten what it feels like to be suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth."

"I feel very uncomfortable," Li Kun replied.

"That's because you stayed in the Four Kingdoms Alliance for too long," Old Deng retorted. "When I first left the Divine Martial Kingdom, I felt my inner energy was very weak."

"That's an illusion," Uncle Chen said calmly. "After leaving the Divine Martial Kingdom, our Qi is no longer suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth, so we can unleash even greater strength. This is the difference brought about by different rules of heaven and earth."

The three remained silent upon hearing this.

They all knew that the rules of the Divine Martial Kingdom were different from those of the outside world, or rather, all the martial artists who left the Divine Martial Kingdom could sense it. The feeling of that sudden increase in power was wonderful, yet it also felt very superficial and unreal.

In fact, they knew more or less that the rules of the outside world were different, mostly because of the loss of contact with the upper realm more than three hundred years ago.

Dengdeng!

There was a sudden knock on the door, and a voice came from outside: "Is Protector Li here?"

"Come in," Li Kun said.

Crunch!

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in white entered. He quickly approached Li Kun and handed him a letter: "Protector Li, this is a message from the Four Kingdoms Alliance!"

Li Kun took the letter, opened it, and his face immediately turned ugly.

Old Deng noticed Li Kun's change and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Li, what's going on?"

"Li Ang has been crippled!" Li Kun's face was extremely ugly, and his voice became very cold.

"Let me see." Uncle Chen coldly reached out, took the letter, and read, "Left arm, right arm, and left leg have been severed. Even if they were reattached, it would be difficult for him to learn martial arts."

"When I get back, I'll give them a piece of my mind!" Li Kun said through gritted teeth.

Old Deng, holding a chess piece, asked, "Who made this? Do you need my help?"

"They are some people from Li Ang's mother's side," Li Kun said coldly. "I will handle this matter when I get back, so I won't trouble Brother Deng for help."

"Brother Li, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to handle this personally," Uncle Chen said calmly. "Our Divine Martial Kingdom has an agreement with the Four Kingdoms Alliance that top-tier and elite members can be stationed in designated areas, but they cannot interfere in the internal affairs of the Four Kingdoms Alliance. Li Ang's matter already falls under the category of the Four Kingdoms Alliance's internal affairs."

"Damn it, what if I insist on taking action!" Li Kun said angrily.

"Military technology is an important enterprise of the Quad Alliance. The Quad Alliance will not allow you to interfere in the equity dispute of Military Technology, and they do not even want to see your son inherit that part of the shares." Uncle Chen sighed. "If you insist on taking action, the Quad Alliance will expel you and your son from the country."

Uncle Zhou then spoke up, "Brother Li, you have to consider Li Ang's situation."

"Zhou Baizhan, what did you say?" Li Kun asked coldly.

"Li Ang has lived in the Four Kingdoms Alliance since childhood, and now it's difficult for him to practice martial arts," Uncle Zhou advised. "He is not suitable to return to the Divine Martial Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Li Kun remained silent for a moment, then turned to the middle-aged man in white and said coldly, "Get out!"

The middle-aged man in white quickly cupped his hands in greeting, hurriedly left the room, and closed the door behind him. He was quite shocked by the conversation between the four people.

What did he just hear? That Protector Li was actually a top expert! The Four Kingdoms Alliance actually dared to touch the son of a top expert! That's courting death!

"So, according to Brother Zhou, I can only have someone else do it, and can't do it myself?" Li Kun asked coldly.

His son was crippled, which naturally enraged him. He wanted to make those who had secretly interfered pay a bloody price, and he even wanted to personally smash their bones one by one.

"You definitely can't do it yourself."

Uncle Zhou said, "Once you make a move, the Four Nations Alliance will have a reason to expel you and your son, and military technology will no longer be associated with the Divine Martial Kingdom."

"So you only have two suitable options now. One is to hire assassins to deal with those people. It would be best to hire assassins from the Four Nations Alliance, rather than assassins from my Divine Martial Kingdom."

"Secondly, let A-Ming handle it. He and Li Ang are childhood friends, so he has a reason to take action."

Uncle Zhou concluded, "More importantly, Ah Ming is Brother Jiang's son, and the Four Nations Alliance wouldn't dare to be too biased towards those people."

After a moment's thought, Li Kun gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Then let A-Ming handle it!"
