"Don't think too much about what happened back then...it's useless to think about it."

Xiao Yi seemed to know what Xiao Chen was thinking and spoke slowly.

"Do what you need to do now, and you will naturally know what you need to know."

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded. It was indeed useless to think too much.

Just like now, if he is not strong enough, Lao Xiao won’t say anything.

If he wants to know the truth about what happened back then, he has to become stronger... or wait until the right time comes.

A bell rang.

"Old Xue, you guys are back?"

Xiao Chen answered the phone.

"Yes, we have arrived."

Xue Chunqiu replied.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Xiao Chen suppressed many thoughts and decided to do the task at hand first, as Lao Xiao had said.

As for the things in the past and the things in the future... take it slow.

"Let's go and take a look together."

Xiao Yi said.

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded.

A few minutes later, the two returned to the main villa and met Xue Chunqiu and others.

In addition to Xue Chunqiu, there was another foreigner lying on the ground, looking quite miserable.

He must be someone from the 'universe'. If he falls into Xue Chunqiu's hands, he will definitely be in trouble.

"Xiaodao, are you injured?"

Xiao Chen noticed that Xiaodao's arm was wrapped in gauze and asked.

"Minor injury, I was stabbed."

Xiaodao said casually.

"I'll help you check it out later."

Xiao Chen said this and looked at the foreigner on the ground.

When he looked closer, he found that the foreigner was really miserable. His face was deformed and his chin had been removed. He was no match at all.

The limbs were deformed and even the neck was crooked.

This made Xiao Chen curl his lips. Isn't this too cruel?

Even if he wasn't killed... after it became like this, can I still use him for my own benefit?

The foreigner looked very weak, with his eyes closed, and seemed to be unconscious.

"Old Xue, that's it, why did you bring him back?"

Xiao Chen looked at Xue Chunqiu and asked.

"Didn't you say you wanted to leave him alive?"

Xue Chunqiu asked back.

"He is still alive."

"I know, but this seems a bit worse than death."

Xiao Chen twitched the corner of his mouth.

"He kept resisting and wanted to die, so I had to do this."

Xue Chunqiu replied.

"All right."

Xiao Chen nodded and held the foreigner's wrist. His pulse was weak and his breath was barely noticeable. He really only had one breath left.

Or as Lao Xue said, he is still alive...but just alive.

"What about the others? Were they all killed?"

Xiao Chen asked as he took out the silver needle.

"Um."

Xue Chunqiu nodded.

"All right."

As Xiao Chen spoke, he inserted the silver needle into the foreigner's acupoint and said, "Try to save him. If he can't be saved, then forget it."

Anyway, the Nine Flame Needles must not be used on the enemy, and it would be a waste to use some healing holy items.

Life or death depends entirely on fate.

A few minutes later, black blood flowed from the corners of the foreigner's mouth and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Oh, you're pretty lucky."

Xiao Chen smiled when he saw the foreigner wake up.

“Woo woo…”

The foreigner made a sound, but it was muffled because his jaw had been removed.

Click.

Xiao Chen closed his jaw in front of the foreigner. With him around, it wasn't so easy to commit suicide.

“You…you guys…”

The foreigner looked at the blurry shadow in front of him and wanted to say something weakly.

"Let's go and take them to Liu Laosan and the others. They should all be acquaintances there and we can ask them to help persuade them."

Xiao Chen didn't waste any words and walked out with the foreigner in his arms.

Xue Chunqiu and the others followed, wanting to know if they could recruit this foreigner for their own use... After all, it would be quite troublesome to bring him back from far away.

"Xiao Xue, aren't you afraid that he will seek revenge on you after he recovers?"

Xiao Yi looked at the foreigner in Xiao Chen's hand and asked with a smile.

"Just come on."

Xue Chunqiu said this and glanced at the old ghost Heifeng.

"Besides, it wasn't all my fault."

"Well, he has always wanted to commit suicide, so this is the only way... He has to keep a breath so that he won't die."

The old ghost Heifeng coughed dryly and said.

“…”

Xiao Yi looked at the foreigners again and felt a little sympathy.

I hope that this guy, even if he survives, will be smarter and not think about revenge in the future.

Otherwise it will be worse next time.

"Master Xiao..."

Liu Laosan, who was still in the yard, saw Xiao Chen and quickly came over to him.

Then, he saw the foreigner Xiao Chen was holding, and when he got closer, he recognized him.

"Pepys?"

Liu Laosan was a little surprised. They caught him so quickly?

"Do you know him?"

Xiao Chen looked at Liu Laosan and asked.

"Yeah, I know him. He came with us. He's in charge of another place."

Liu Laosan looked at Pepys with a bit of gloating. This foreigner was usually very arrogant, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this.

In fact, although he had suffered great pain in the Southern Wu ruins, his injuries were not serious.

Unlike Adams and others, who had their hands and feet broken, that was too tragic.

And Pepys looks very miserable.

"Go inside and talk."

Xiao Chen nodded and carried Pepys in.

At this time, Trop and others were resting on the sofa, and the caregiver was also busy.

When the nurse saw Xiao Chen carrying in another person covered in blood from outside, he was stunned. Why another one?

"You go out first."

Xiao Chen said to the nurse.

"OK."

The nurse nodded quickly.

"Oh, by the way, contact a few more nurses, some who are brave and keep their mouths shut."

Xiao Chen thought of something and spoke again.

"Understood, Mr. Xiao."

The nurse glanced at Pepys, asked no more questions, and turned away.

"Pepys?"

Trope and the others recognized Pepys, who was thrown to the ground by Xiao Chen.

"You all know each other, right? That's easy."

Xiao Chen sat down.

"I plan to save him and let him work for me. If any of you are familiar with him, please persuade him... If he agrees, I will save him. If he doesn't agree, don't waste my time and medicine."

His words seemed cold and inhuman, but Troup and others were not surprised.

Even Xiao Yi and the others thought it was normal.

The two sides are enemies, and saving one life is the greatest mercy.

"Let me try and see if he is conscious?"

Tromp slowly got down from the couch, wincing in pain.

"Okay, then give him a chance."

Xiao Chen nodded, and then used the silver needle to stimulate Pepys's acupoint.

Soon Pepys regained consciousness and opened his eyes again.

"Trop..."

The blurry figure in front of Pepys gradually became clear.

"Trop, you betrayed me?"

When Pepys saw the man in front of him, he became angry.

"I'm not betraying you. I just want you to live."

Troup shook his head.

"We have failed at the Nanwu Ruins. It is only a matter of time before you are discovered..."

Xiao Chen lit a cigarette. He didn't care how Trope persuaded Pepys. He only cared about the result.

If you agree to be used by him, you can live.

Otherwise, it means death.

"Old Xiao, when did you tell me that I started to become indifferent to life?"

Suddenly, Xiao Chen asked Xiao Yi.

After hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Yi and others were stunned. Why did he suddenly ask this?

"They are enemies in the first place. There is no such thing as indifference."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen and said seriously.

"Too."

Xiao Chen nodded. After hearing what Lao Xiao said, he felt much more comfortable.

Just now, he felt like he was going to become a cold-blooded animal.

"If you are too kind, I will not stay even if you are strong."

Xue Chunqiu looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.

"Because sooner or later, you will die of your kindness."

"hehe."

Xiao Chen smiled and blew out a smoke ring.

Although no one said it explicitly, whether it was Xue Chunqiu or the Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai... they were all following him, wanting to go higher and further.

If he is too kind, he is not a person worth following.

"He agreed."

A few minutes later, Troup said to Xiao Chen.

"very good."

Xiao Chen nodded and bent over to get closer to Pepys.

"Remember, once you've agreed, you can't go back on your word. Otherwise... you'll waste my energy and medicine, and I'll be very unhappy. By then, I'll make you suffer a hundred times more than you are now."

"Xiao Chen..."

Pepys looked at Xiao Chen, and he finally knew in whose hands he had fallen.

As soon as Xue Chunqiu arrived, he stunned him.

I didn't react at all.

It can be said that from beginning to end, he was in a confused state and didn't even know who the enemy was.

"Let's get started."

Xiao Chen took out the silver needle and gave Pepys acupuncture again. At the same time, he took out the porcelain bottle, poured out two pills and stuffed them into his mouth.

"If you weren't so strong, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you."

After Xiao Chen's restaging treatment, Pepys' mental state improved a lot, and his pale face regained color.

"Tell me, if you beat him like this, will I still be able to use him when I go to attack the island of Ksnapo?"

Xiao Chen took back the silver needle and looked at Xue Chunqiu and the old ghost Heifeng, feeling helpless.

"If it doesn't work this time, you can use it next time."

Xue Chunqiu said lightly.

"It's not like you can only use it once."

"Too."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"When are you going to attack Kersnapper Island?"

The old ghost Heifeng asked.

"As soon as possible, I'll first ask about the situation in the island country and Siam...including the vampires and the werewolf tribe. If we want to fight, we definitely can't go alone."

Xiao Chen felt that he had to launch a big wave.

As the second division of the 'Universe', there must be a lot of experts there.

Since we are going to fight, we must naturally make full preparations.

"By the way, Xiaodao, I have already talked to the Qingyan Sect. You and Wukong can go to the Qinglong Secret Realm."

Xiao Chen thought of something and said to Xiao Dao again.

"good."

Xiaodao nodded. He knew that with his strength, there was no chance of conquering Ksnapo Island.

If I go, I'll probably just be a flag-waving and cheering character, with no sense of existence at all.

In this case, we might as well go to the Qinglong Secret Realm to see if we can get some opportunities.

"Come, take the poison, and from now on your life will be mine."

After chatting for a few words, Xiao Chen gave the Fifteen Heartbroken Powder to Pepys.

"After three years, I will give you freedom."
