Zuo Xun was so shocked that he quickly retreated. The thin man who had been following him quickly attacked. He was a cryokineticist.
The flames instantly froze into an icicle. As the frozen flame smashed into the ground and broke into countless ice cubes, a sharp icicle instantly reached a few millimeters away from Du Fengâs eyeball, emitting and surrounded by a layer of cold air.
Du Feng didnât dare to move.
Zuo Xun sighed. âLin Yi, back down!â
The handsome man looked at Du Feng expressionlessly. Du Feng broke out in a cold sweat and smiled at him.
After waiting for them to leave, he could not help but be sarcastic. âWhen Master Shi comes back, letâs see if he can still protect you!â
âLetâs go.â Du Feng left quickly with his men. Zhou Jun panicked. âDu Fengâ¦â
However, he didnât dare to stay any longer and hurriedly chased after him.
The conflict seemed to have been resolved easily, but Zuo Xun sat down on the chair with a bitter expression. âLin Yi, you should leave. When Shi Shaochen comes back, Iâll be finished. You should take this opportunity to go somewhere else.â
âIâm not leaving.â As he spoke, the man once again looked at the spot where Du Feng wanted to sit, which was also where Tang Susu was.
Zuo Xun followed his gaze and looked over. In an instant, two figures suddenly appeared on the originally empty chair.
It was Tang Susu and Mrs. Tang.
Tang Susu calculated the time when the Invisibility Talisman would lose its effect and appear in front of them in a high-profile manner.
Zuo Xun ignored his own shock as his expression immediately darkened. âLin Yi, kill them!â
Lin Yi was like his living weapon, ready to attack without hesitation.
âIf you want him to die, kill us, then.â Tang Susu said slowly. Before Zuo Xun could say anything, Lin Yi suddenly stopped.
âDo you think Iâll fall for your tricks again? Tang Susu, youâve really screwed me over! Donât worry, Iâll remember you even when I become a ghost!â Zuo Xun said coldly.
âYouâre not afraid of death, but youâre afraid of Shi Shaochen. Ha! Amusing. âTang Susu stood up. âIt seems like Iâve misjudged you. Mom, letâs go.â
Mrs. Tang was confused, but she did what Susu said. She walked toward her daughter while keeping her guard up against the man with the ice-type power.
Before they reached the door, Zuo Xun couldnât help but ask, âWhat do you mean? Explain to me.â
âBut do you think you can still leave?â Zuo Xun gave Lin Yi a look. The other party immediately used his ice to seal the door. Even the windows were completely sealed. Not even a fly could fly out.
Nirs. Tangâs heart tightened, but Tang Susu turned around calmly. âDo you think Iâm doing this because I want to kill you?â
âIsnât that so?â Although he said that, Zuo Xun had some guesses, but his heart could not help but beat faster.
âI donât have that much time to start fights with others unless theyâre making things hard for me first. Itâs normal for me to retaliate then, right?â
Zuo Xun didnât respond to her.
Tang Susu chuckled. âThere are only two options in front of you now. Either you die, or you cooperate with me and usurp Shi Shaochen. Can he still threaten you when that happens?â
Zuo Xun stood up, surprised. âYouâre crazy!â
âDo you think you have any other options? Itâs true that it wonât be difficult for you to survive with your skills.â
âBut you will never be able to get what you truly deserve. You might even be kicked out by Shi Shaochen. Think about it. How much blood and sweat have you put into this shelter? Are you willing to go back to where you started? Or worse?â
Zuo Xun clenched his fists.
Tang Susu was an excellent speaker. She was like the devil, using her words to stir the manâs hidden desire!
âBesides, do you still want to live a life where you canât even sleep soundly because others despise and target you? Do you want to live a life where you want to achieve something but you canât and you force yourself to live a life of mediocrity?â
âHow long do you think your superficial prosperity and temporary honor can last? All I need is to defeat the person beside you and everything youâve worked so hard for will collapse. All the people youâve offended will swarm over and trample you until nothing is left!â
âIs this what you want? To use me against Shi Shaochen? Then you really think too highly of me!â Zuo Xun sneered, but a faint self-deprecating tone was inside of words.
âThis time, Iâm not using you. Iâm cooperating with you. After this is done, this shelter will be yours as long as you do a little something for me.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhy should I believe you that youâll cooperate with me after using me? Iâm not a fool. Iâve been tricked by you repeatedly, and Iâm learning my lessons!â
âBecause we have a common enemy now. Itâs that simple.â
Even though that was the truth, Zuo Xun still felt conflicted, especially since she had been very calculative every step of the way. It was as if he was just a marionette in her handsâ¦
âDonât worry, as long as youâre bold enough to take Shi Shaochenâs position, Iâll help you secure it!â
Zuo Xun was still hesitating when Lin Yi said, âJust agree with her. If you succeed, youâll get everything you want. If you fail, youâll die. But theyâre going to kill you, anyway!â
Tang Susu glanced at him.
However, Zuo Xun focused on the youth in front of him. âNo matter what happens, Iâll stay by your side..â
