Chapter 674 Action (III)
"I know it's difficult, but I can't just watch those innocent children die under their knives."
"I understand. I will find out their goal and mission this time."
"Hotpot, have you ever harmed any children while carrying out missions over the years?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Hotpot.
"No."
After hearing what Huoguo said, Lu Xiaoxiao nodded, then he looked at Huoguo and said, "I will help you escape this time. You and Huoguo will not have an easy life. After all, you can escape the death penalty, but you can't escape the living crime."
"I know. From the moment I agreed to cooperate with you, I knew I was doomed. Although the things I did before were not my intention, they were indeed sins I committed. I only ask that you make arrangements for my family."
"They don't know anything, so naturally no one will embarrass them. However, if you behave well this time, you may be able to make up for your mistakes and have your sentence reduced."
Hotpot's eyes lit up instantly when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and then he asked Lu Xiaoxiao excitedly: "Really?"
"Um."
"I know what to do next."
"It's getting late. I'll go back first. I'll come see you the day after tomorrow."
"good."
After leaving Hotpot's house, Lu Xiaoxiao did not rush up the mountain, but walked towards Huoxue's lair with the map she got from Hotpot.
Lu Xiaoxiao followed the instructions on the map and came to the intersection agreed upon by Blood Two and Blood Five. She took out the tracking powder from the space and sprinkled it on the wall. She thought that Blood Two or Blood Five would definitely stand against the wall when they were waiting, because this would not only block the wind, but also not block the road.
After spreading the powder, Lu Xiaoxiao continued to move forward. When she came behind a tree about a hundred meters away from the Fire and Blood Lair, she clearly felt several strong auras. Judging from those auras, their strength was probably comparable to hers, so Lu Xiaoxiao did not plan to continue moving forward, but turned around and left quickly.
What Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know was that less than a minute after she left, a middle-aged man came to the tree where she was.
It was already 9:30 in the evening when Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the mountain. She put the basket on her back on the ground and asked Monkey to call the fifteen ghosts and Zhang Xu over.
"Lu Xiaoxiao, is there anything you want to talk to us about?" the old man asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"We'll talk about it when Zhang Xu comes."
"Monkey, why are you alone? Where is Zhang Xu?" Lu Xiaoxiao saw Monkey coming back alone, so she asked him.
"Chiyi said the boss is out, and I don't know where to find him."
Lu Xiaoxiao was confused after hearing what the monkey said. She didn't understand why Zhang Xu didn't practice in the cave late at night but ran out. Did something happen?
"I'll go see if he's nearby. You guys continue practicing first." After saying that, Lu Xiaoxiao headed out of the cave.
As soon as Lu Xiaoxiao walked out of the cave, she saw Zhang Xu walking towards her, so she stood there waiting for Zhang Xu.
"Where did you go before?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Zhang Xu when he came to her.
"Wait for you."
"You mean you'll wait for me at the intersection of the road leading up the mountain?"
"Um."
Lu Xiaoxiao felt warm in her heart after hearing Zhang Xu's words. She knew that it was a very happy thing to have someone waiting for her in the dark. Before she came to this world, her grandfather would wait for her in the living room no matter how late she returned home. Later, after her grandfather passed away, no one waited for her in the dark anymore.
Lu Xiaoxiao never expected that when she came to this world, there would be someone who would wait for her in the dark. How could she not be moved?
