It's another morning.

"Boss Sun, haven't responded yet?" Ning Zhuo paced in the room with a gloomy face.

"If his secret sign is not changed today, it will be the third day."

Sun Lingtong and Ning Zhuo agreed on many ways of communication.

Logically, as long as everything is normal, this secret code will be changed once a day.

"Since the last time he questioned Boss Sun in public, Zhu Xuanji has not appeared again."

"Did he secretly attack Boss Sun?"

By collecting information widely, Ning Zhuo obtained a lot of intelligence on the black market: In the past two days, Sun Lingtong appeared normally and dealt with some minor disputes in the black market.

"Boss Sun has no choice but to fall into some kind of dangerous situation. The normal appearance is just a disguise."

"In fact, it might not even be him!"

Ning Zhuo guessed the truth.

Sun Lingtong is played by Han Ming, who commands Sun's subordinates and is rapidly infiltrating the entire black market organization in order to convert them for his own use.

There were also some rumors circulating about Yuan Er.

"Someone wants revenge and wants to attack the Monkey Head Gang!"

"The leader was called Bao Chou, and his entire family was killed by Yuan Yi. After he escaped by chance, he changed his name but not his surname. While studying hard, he also contacted people who had a deep hatred for the Monkey Head Gang."

"After the Fire Persimmon Festival, the Monkey Head Gang fell to the bottom. Bao Chou raised his arm and called for the power he had accumulated over the years to be brought to the table to take revenge!"

Ning Zhuo was not surprised at this situation at all.

He had expected something like this to happen a long time ago.

"If Bao Chou really makes a move, I can use him to wait for them to make their move, and then command Yuan Dasheng to protect Yuan Er."

"However, there are too many rumors about Bao Chou."

Ning Zhuo felt something strange.

Over the years, he has never stopped collecting intelligence.

As a result, he developed a keen sense, and sometimes he could tell which intelligence was false and which was true just by this sense.

The information about Bao Chou did not make him feel false, but rather gave him a subtle sense of weirdness.

Ning Zhuo thought carefully and came up with a possibility.

"If I were Bao Chou, I would never make such a big fuss when seeking revenge!"

"So, this was most likely done by the gang elder of the Monkey Head Gang."

"It is very likely that Bao Chou has reached a contract with someone in the gang, or even some elders, in order to increase the chances of success in revenge and reduce risks and losses."

"But the gang elders also have their own selfish motives."

"They need to spread the word first, so that the outside world knows that Bao Chou wants to deal with the Houtou Gang and Yuan Er."

"And when Yuan Er is assassinated, they can take over the entire Monkey Head Gang more smoothly. Because before that, they have already proved to the public that Bao Chou is the real murderer!"

Thinking of this, Ning Zhuo became more certain that Bao Chou and others would definitely take action.

And according to such rumors, the action will probably take place in the next few days.

"It seems we need to keep a closer eye on Yuan Er."

Yuan Er can't die now.

Ning Zhuo also planned to rely on him to deepen his control over Yuan Dasheng and try his best to eliminate the hidden dangers of the spiritual period.

"Something went wrong with Boss Sun, but it's not the first time."

"At this time, we need more patience and calmness."

As far as Ning Zhuo could remember, Sun Lingtong was first arrested when he was eight years old.

If you walk along the shore often, you will get your shoes wet.

Sun Lingtong always resorts to stealing to obtain resources for his daily practice, and sooner or later something bad will happen.

This time, he was caught by a local gang and thrown into a private jail.

Sun Lingtong was beaten to a bloody mess and lay in the corner of the cell, motionless.

Plop.

Suddenly, the two guards fell to the ground, motionless.

Sun Lingtong was startled by the sound and nervously came to the prison door, then saw Ning Zhuo's figure slowly appear.

"Brother Sun, I'm here to save you!" Ning Zhuo's face was full of nervousness, and he was very excited when he saw Sun Lingtong.

"Xiao Zhuo, why are you here alone?!" Sun Lingtong was horrified, her face covered with frost, "Have you forgotten what I taught you? If I get caught, you should report to the police. Let the city guards come to search and disrupt the situation, so as to create an opportunity for me to escape."

"I reported it, I reported it to the authorities." Ning Zhuo said hurriedly, "But they are too slow. I am worried about you. You have been missing for three days. I am worried, I am worried about you..."

Sun Lingtong waved her hand: "Okay, okay, stop talking, open the door for me."

"The situation is very dangerous now, don't waste any more time."

"What are you talking about? Let's talk about it outside."

"The key is on that big guard, be careful when searching!"

"Don't worry!" Ning Zhuo ran to the big guard and used the method taught by Sun Lingtong to successfully find the cell key.

The key is inserted into the lock.

Ning Zhuo infused his magic power and twisted with difficulty.

A stream of light quickly spread from the keyhole to the surroundings, flowing through the padlock, the chain, and most of the cell fence, revealing many array patterns.

Ning Zhuo opened the door and helped Sun Lingtong out.

There were monks patrolling outside the cell.

With the help of talismans and magical weapons, the two made full use of shadows and blind spots, and after a long time, they finally escaped from the enemy gang’s base.

Not long after escaping, the gang base was in chaos.

“Someone ran away!”

"That little thief is gone!!"

"Hurry up and chase them. It hasn't been long since this happened. They won't get too far."

From the shouting, Sun Lingtong heard familiar voices, they were the two guards who were guarding him.

He looked at Ning Zhuo and stared at him: "You used the aphrodisiac Muyunhe that I gave you, why didn't they die?"

Ning Zhuo was a little afraid to look at Sun Lingtong, and said weakly: "I was afraid that I would kill people with the drug, so I specially added some medicinal mud, wrapped the drug incense, and then lit it."

Sun Lingtong's eyes suddenly flashed fiercely: "Let's not talk about this now, I will teach you a lesson when we get home!"

After a thrilling chase, Sun Lingtong suffered several more wounds and was covered in blood. After paying a huge price, he finally managed to escape to a safe place with Ning Zhuo.

"How are you? Are you hurt? Check your whole body quickly!" Sun Lingtong was so weak that he could hardly send out his spiritual consciousness.

Ning Zhuo checked it and found that he only had some scratches.

"That's good." Sun Lingtong breathed a sigh of relief, then glared and gave Ning Zhuo a slap.

"You idiot!" he cursed.

"Brother Xiao Sun, I saved you, why did you hit me?!" Ning Zhuo covered his head, grimacing in pain, feeling very wronged.

"Why didn't you kill those two?"

"Killing them will give us more time to retreat calmly."

"Instead of being hunted down, I was almost hacked to death by them!"

Ning Zhuo was criticized so much that he was speechless.

"Yes, I was wrong!" Ning Zhuo took out the pills and bandages from the storage bag, "Brother Xiao Sun, calm down, your wound is still bleeding."

After a moment.

Sun Lingtong was sitting, and Ning Zhuo was bending over, tying him up almost like a dumpling with white bandages.

"I was wrong."

"In fact, if we follow our previous agreement and wait for the city guards to come and disrupt the situation, with your ability, Brother Sun, you will definitely be able to seize the opportunity and escape alone."

"I came to save you, but ended up bringing you trouble."

Sun Lingtong exhaled a breath of foul air, and her anger subsided a little: "Your biggest mistake is that you were soft-hearted when you should have killed someone!"

"If you had to do it all over again, would you make the same mistake again?"

Ning Zhuo showed hesitation: "This..."

Sun Lingtong snorted angrily and stopped talking.

In the tunnel, the light from the torch cast the shadows of the two people on the ground.

Sun Lingtong looked at the shadow on the ground, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

He suddenly realized: "I have protected Xiaozhuo too well."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Thinking about it carefully, when I was six or seven years old, my master had already led me to kill people."

"Actually, I was wrong..."

"What does Xiaozhu know?"

"He is nine years old now. If this incident hadn't awakened me, I would have continued to make the same mistakes."

Sun Lingtong asked himself, why did he make such a mistake? He thought of his master.

When he was six or seven years old, his master touched his head and showed a rare hesitation: "Alas, Xiaotong, the master does not want you to experience this."

"But Master knows that you have to go through this."

"You may feel pain and discomfort for a while, but you will understand it when you grow up."

Sun Lingtong collected his thoughts, stared at Ning Zhuo's shadow, and murmured in his heart: "Master, I understand."

Sun Lingtong used a trick.

He lied that he wanted revenge and worked with Ning Zhuo to ambush and kill the enemy gang members.

During this process, he pretended and performed, creating the illusion that he was defeated and was about to be captured and killed.

Ning Zhu fell into the trap.

In a moment of desperation, he killed the powerful enemy.

After a moment of confusion and daze, Ning Zhuo looked at the dead enemy lying on the ground, his face pale, and suddenly bent over to vomit.

Sun Lingtong accompanied him.

I watched Ning Zhuo vomiting and vomiting until only the acid in his stomach was left.

Sun Lingtong teased from the side: "Xiaozhuo, you are far worse than I was back then. Hahaha."

Ning Zhuo was exhausted from vomiting and sat on the ground, staring at his bloody hands in a daze.

After Sun Lingtong cleaned up the battlefield, he led him to the river.

"Come, let me wash your hands."

I would rather be as stupid as a puppet, obedient and let myself be manipulated.

Halfway through the wash, he realized: "Brother Sun, you were acting, right? In fact, my last move had a big flaw, and the enemy could have easily dodged it."

"But at that time, his movements were stiff, as if he was being controlled by the stick."

Sun Lingtong paused for a moment, then nodded and admitted frankly: "Yes, I controlled it."

"Thank you for showing me the manual of mechanisms your mother left for you."

"You!" Ning Zhuo was angry.

Sun Lingtong chuckled: "Are you going to scold me or hit me?"

Ning Zhuo was speechless. He gritted his teeth and pulled back his hands, saying angrily: "I'll wash them myself!"

Sun Lingtong was unusually firm, pulling his hand back and continuing to wash: "Don't move!"

"For the first time, I'll wash you."

"That's what my master did."

When Ning Zhuo heard Sun Lingtong mention his master, he was slightly stunned and stopped resisting.

Under the moonlight, two young men washed their hands by the small river in the fairy city.

What's a little weird is that the younger one is taking care of the older one.

The blood flowed quickly down the stream and was quickly diluted. By the time it crossed the stone bridge forty steps away, it was almost invisible.

Sun Lingtong suddenly spoke up: "We are cultivators, and cultivators fight for their lives."

"People fight against each other, people fight against heaven... In this game, our basic bet is our lives!"

"He was killed by you, but you just lost the bet. His soul will reappear in this world in another life form."

"And we're going to keep on gambling... until the moment we lose the bet."

Sun Lingtong looked at Ning Zhuo's clean white hands with a very serious and earnest expression.

Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and said, "Brother Sun, I know you are doing this for my own good. I've taken note of it."

Sun Lingtong shook his head: "Write it down?"

"not enough!"

"Every time I go out to steal, I tell myself before I act that this time I may not come back and I may lose my life."

"If this is the outcome of my life gamble, I accept it."

"I am always ready to accept my own death, even in the next second."

“This is my realization!”

"What about your awareness?"

Ning Zhuo was shocked and speechless.

There had never been such a moment when he felt the height from Sun Lingtong's small body! Sun Lingtong continued: "If one day, I die, don't be sad for me, Xiaozhu."

"If one day I find myself in an even more desperate predicament than I was in not long ago, and there is absolutely no hope for me, don't try to save me, Xiaozhu!"

"It's not worth it to risk a second life, do you understand?"

Ning Zhuo opened his mouth and wanted to speak.

But the next moment, Sun Lingtong interrupted him: "If you are in a desperate situation, I will not save you."

"Because I want to stay alive and continue gambling."

"Of course, if I have the chance, I will give you revenge."

"Right now, on this matter, I make a deal with you!"

Sun Lingtong raised his palm.

Under the pressure of his gaze, Ning Zhuo had no choice but to raise his hand.

The silvery moonlight sprinkled on the river, creating ripples, like countless tiny diamonds dancing on the water.

The leaves on both sides of the river swayed slightly in the night breeze.

Pop.

Two children standing by the river clapped their hands gently.

Ning Zhuo lowered his head and pursed his lips.

Sun Lingtong's upturned face reflected the bright light of the moonlit night.

Only then did he grin, revealing his white teeth and a smile.

His voice was light but firm: "So, the agreement is reached."
