Mao Zixiao, standing to the side, felt a little guilty upon hearing this.
Do you really consider me a friend?
Gu Jinxi hesitated for a moment before nodding again.
“That’s right. I have no friends. I’ve been confined to my room by my mother all these years and have never come out. You’re the only one I play with.”
"I thought I had met a true friend, but why did you lie to me?"
Having never had any friends before, Mao Zixiao felt extremely distressed.
He looked at Gu Jinxi, his heart filled with a struggle.
His master often said that he was pitifully stupid.
If he hadn't seen him starving to death in the dilapidated temple, he would never have taken him on as an apprentice.
However, Master also said...
"Although you are not very bright, you are obedient. You have completed all the tasks I have given you over the years."
Therefore, remember this: from now on, don't listen to or believe anything others say; just focus on your own mission.
Mao Zixiao understood that his master was right.
However, seeing Gu Jinxi's earnest and affectionate expression, he felt uncomfortable.
In fact, he never had any friends.
When he was a child, he always stayed by his master's side to take care of him, and he didn't have time to go out and play at all.
Later, when he went out, people thought he was too thin and small, and no one wanted to play with him.
They also bullied him all the time.
Take the matter of the refugees for example. He was following his master's instructions and acted as a real refugee along the way, getting close to some of the strongest people among them.
I was completely their lackey.
Even so, he was still being beaten by them.
He had to endure it and remind those people at crucial moments in order to keep things going smoothly.
Everything was going perfectly, but then Gu Jinxi came along and ruined everything.
His master gave him a chance to change his ways, but now Gu Jinxi actually says she considers him a true friend.
This was simply too tempting for him.
So he looked at Gu Jinxi, then stepped forward and untied the rope from her.
Gu Jinxi: ...
He looked up in surprise.
What happened so suddenly?
The big fish hasn't come yet, why are you untying the rope for me?
Hiding in the shadows, Gu Jinxi and Shen Hechuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the word "speechless" in each other's eyes.
This guy is definitely here to kidnap someone; that's incredibly stupid.
He actually believed such terrible acting?
"You can leave now."
Mao Zixiao threw down the rope.
"You can still run away before my master arrives."
Gu Jinxi: ...
What to do? This has gone too far.
Mao Zixiao: "I didn't expect you to consider me a true friend. Consider this as something I did for a friend. I'm sorry for poisoning you before."
Gu Jinxi: Oh, right, he's been given a liniment.
Thinking of this, he immediately collapsed to the ground, powerless.
"I know you have your reasons, but I'm already poisoned and can't leave at all."
"And what will you do if I leave?"
"I don't want to drag you down with me."
Gu Jinxi spoke with tears streaming down her face.
However, Gu Jingchun could hardly bear to watch such poor acting.
However, Mao Zixiao was quite pleased, and his eyes instantly turned red.
He struggled to help Gu Jinxi up.
"I'm fine, you should go now, I have the antidote here."
As he spoke, he gave Gu Jinxi an antidote to take.
Actually, it doesn't matter whether Gu Jinxi takes the antidote or not; due to his physical condition, ordinary poisons have no effect on him.
But since she had to go all the way, Gu Jinxi ate it anyway.
"You'd better leave quickly, or you won't be able to leave when Master comes."
Mao Zixiao was very anxious.
"Don't worry, Master only has me as his disciple. He will need me to take care of him in the future. At most, he will beat me up, but he won't really kill me."
Gu Jinxi: "No, how could I possibly cause you to get beaten up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew by, and then a hoarse voice was heard.
"Walk?"
"Now that you've come all this way, you still want to leave?"
"Are you sure you can leave?"
The familiar voice made Gu Jingchun freeze in his tracks, then he looked up in surprise.
At that moment, a wheelchair descended from the sky and sat steadily in front of Gu Jinxi.
Guan Zhixin looked at Gu Jinxi's face and couldn't help but scrutinize it carefully.
"It's been years, and you've grown so much."
"However, his appearance hasn't changed, but his abilities..."
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp arrow suddenly shot straight toward him.
He quickly spun his wheelchair around it, his gaze fixed on the spot where the arrow had been fired.
"who?"
Gu Jingchun immediately stood up.
Guan Zhixin was so startled that her wheelchair lurched backward.
Gu Jingchun stared at him, raised his hand again, and instantly shot the arrow in his hand toward him.
Clearly, he was prepared and immediately spun his wheelchair to dodge.
However, the wheelchair was ultimately too cumbersome. He dodged the first few arrows, but couldn't dodge the ones that followed.
Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but shout.
"Zi Xiao".
Mao Zixiao had been by his side for some time, and upon hearing this, he immediately rushed over and quickly turned his wheelchair around.
Instantly, a shield rose up behind the wheelchair, barely managing to block the last few arrows.
Almost simultaneously, a dozen men in black landed and surrounded Guan Zhixin, ensuring that Gu Jingchun would not harm him in the slightest.
