Volume 3, Chapter 23: No looking back.

Looking at the two serious people, Qiqi held her stomach and laughed so hard that she bent over.

'Hahaha... I was just talking nonsense. How could I have black skin and no hair? Hahaha... You actually believed it.'

He laughed so hard that tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, which confused Zhou Heisan and Ye Tingmu. What was going on?

Especially Zhou Heisan, he felt like he had fallen from the clouds. I'm ready to set the table, and you tell me you're kidding me. What the hell is this? If the person in front of him wasn't Ye Qiqi, he would probably have started scolding me.

The corners of Ye Tingmu's mouth twitched inadvertently. How to say it, he was also speechless. The most important thing was that this was not Qiqi's character at all.

Ever since Qiqi woke up from her epiphany and regained her memory, she has had a stern face every day, except when she was alone with him, when she would smile. In the past, when there were outsiders around, her face would be as cold as ice, even colder than Ying Changle's.

It is really abnormal that he made such a joke today, especially on such a serious topic with outsiders present.

He subconsciously reached out and touched the little guy's head.

Qiqi dodged quickly.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"He doesn't even have a fever." Ye Tingmu muttered softly.

Qiqi rolled her eyes and said, "You are the one with a fever. I am fine. I was just joking to lighten the atmosphere. Isn't it funny?"

In fact, during this period of daily interaction, Qiqi was forced to integrate into a group of idiots, and then gradually came to like this kind of life.

Originally, she basically stayed alone in the Sword Sect, and would occasionally chat with Hei Bai. She was rather resistant to her second brother, third brother, and sister, and rarely communicated with them.

But now it’s different. Since she entered the Boundary Sea, she has been staying on a boat with them every day. Ye Nian and Qingfeng look for her every day, and she can’t hide from them.

After spending a long time with them, her heart knot was slowly untied, and under their subtle influence, her personality was also quietly changing.

Maybe because she is the youngest sister, she finds that everyone pampers her and gives in to her in everything, which makes her feel the warmth from other people.

People who are pampered are always happy, so now she has become like Qingfeng and Jinghong, occasionally a little neurotic.

She also likes this way of living and communicating, so she was just being naughty and teasing her elder brother just now.

She also didn't expect her elder brother to react so strongly.

Although Ye Tingmu, as the eldest brother, was speechless, he was still very happy to see the changes in his sister. After all, Qiqi would no longer be alone in a daze, right? She was as lively and energetic as a young girl, which was a good thing.

Zhou Hei San continues EMO...

"Okay, to be honest, the Undead Clan really doesn't have spiritual roots. I don't know the specifics of how they practice cultivation. And it's not just the Undead Clan, there are also the Elves Clan and the Beast Tamers Clan. Their cultivation methods seem to be different from ours. As for whether the Undead Clan has head methods, I can only say that some do and some don't. There is indeed a branch of the Undead Clan that not only has no hair, but also has black skin."

After laughing enough, Qiqi returned to the topic and told them the answers she knew in all seriousness.

After hearing this, the two of them naturally didn't know what to say, especially Zhou Heisan.

Qiqi continued, "But if my guess is true, perhaps Xiao Hei is indeed related to the Undead Clan, and it's possible that he was summoned by the Nine-Life Black Lotus, or someone else. But now that our situation has reached this point, I think we can give it a try and do as Xiao Hei suggested."

Zhou Heisan no longer wanted to worry about whether he was of the bloodline of the undead, nor did he want to worry about whether he was the son of the undead.

Just as Qiqi said, now that they have come to this point, they can only try their best. She might be the last hope.

Even if the possibility is close to zero, he will still try.

"Boss, just let me go. I can do it." There was determination and pleading in his eyes.

He was originally a homeless person in the city, despised, forgotten and spurned by others.

It was him, his boss, Ye Tingmu's appearance, who pulled him out of the dark alley, and he was also like a ray of light that illuminated him.

If the little monk once illuminated Hongfu, then watching chess illuminated Yuemingfeng.

Then it was him that Ye Tingmu illuminated and saved, allowing him to know the beauty of this world and that life has meaning. It was also his appearance that told him that the world is worth living.

So from the moment Ye Tingmu treated him as a brother in Shangyunju, he had already decided on him for life and was willing to die for him and do everything within his ability.

He overcame his cowardice and fear and has come this far.

But today he was finally useful. He couldn't shrink back or retreat.

Ye Tingmu looked at Zhou Heisan. He knew what he was thinking, but he also had his concerns. He didn't want Zhou Heisan to take risks for an uncertain answer.

But he also knew that Qiqi and Zhou Heisan were right, and this might be the only way to break the situation.

On one side is the safety of his brothers, and on the other side is the safety of the army. He has to make a choice, which is cruel for him.

But even so, as a leader he still has to make choices, and sacrificing the small to protect the big is inevitable, just like the chess game he played with the old man under the starry sky.

There is a huge disparity in strength. When facing a powerful enemy, the only way to win is to exchange life for life. It is understandable to sacrifice the small to protect the big.

He took a deep breath and said softly, "Have you really thought it through?"

Zhou Heisan nodded heavily.

"I've thought about it."

Looking at the endless darkness outside the window, "It could be dangerous. I can't guarantee that you will survive."

Zhou Heisan grinned. Although he was not very dark now, his white teeth were still eye-catching at this moment.

He said: "Brother, the moment you saw that I was fine, I ran forward desperately and never looked back."

He paused here and continued: "So I'm not afraid of anything."

Ye Tingmu's heart was slightly touched at this moment, and Ye Qiqi's expression also became complicated.

Ye Tingmu said nothing more and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, I was right about you. I'll go with you."

He didn't stop him because he had no choice, all he could do was accompany him.

Zhou Heisan said: "Brother, it's too dangerous. I can go alone."

"What are you talking about? You can go, but I can't?"

Qiqi tried to stop him, "Brother, don't joke around. What will we do if you get lost?"

"Yeah, Boss, this is not something you can joke about."

Ye Tingmu looked at the two of them and also revealed a deep smile.

"Don't worry, I have a trick up my sleeve, watch out."
