"Let's keep going, I have other things to attend to."
Looking at Xiao Tian Huizi's adoring and loving gaze, Er Zhu subtly brushed away her hand from his neck and continued walking forward.
Seeing Er Zhu's indifferent back, the shining light in Xiao Tian Huizi's eyes dimmed considerably.
He wasn't interested in her!
Although Xiao Tian Huizi had already known this outcome, she was still a little sad when she truly faced it.
Especially after she had paid so much, her sadness was mixed with a trace of unwillingness.
But her good upbringing did not allow Xiao Tian Huizi to question anything. She could only follow Er Zhu and continue walking forward.
In the dense forest not far away, hundreds of ninja masters were hidden.
In the small wooden house in the center of the forest, Xiao Tian Yilang, with beauties embracing him left and right, looked down at the mountain with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He had seen everything that had just happened. He didn't expect Ito Yuichi to be the eldest son of the Ito family!
What he didn't expect even more was that Wang Er Zhu dared to kill him even after knowing Ito Yuichi's identity!
"This idiot!"
Thinking of the Ito family, Xiao Tian Yilang snorted coldly, a sly smile appearing on his lips.
If he had known this was the situation earlier, he wouldn't have spent a fortune hiring ninjas. He would have simply passed this news to the Ito family.
At that time, Wang Er Zhu would have suffered a fate worse than death!
But this was also good. He would avenge Ito Yuichi, and even if that old man kicked him out of the Xiao Tian family, he could seek refuge with the Ito family.
After all, the Ito family was an even more powerful existence than the Xiao Tian family!
"Young Master, Wang Er Zhu is coming up!"
Just as Xiao Tian Yilang was thinking pleasant thoughts, his bodyguard rushed over and reported with a sly smile.
"Hmm, film the scene of Wang Er Zhu's miserable death. Remember, make sure to film it very clearly!"
Xiao Tian Yilang nodded slightly, then suddenly seemed to recall something and gave a sinister order.
The bodyguard was taken aback. Although he was a little confused, seeing the smile on his young master's face, he dared not disobey.
"Wang Er Zhu, you brought this upon yourself. Don't blame me!"
Looking at Er Zhu, who was getting clearer and clearer, Xiao Tian Yilang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent!
At this moment, on the mountainside of Xiong Ying Mountain, Er Zhu and Xiao Tian Huizi continued to walk uphill.
"Miss Huizi, you rest here. I'll go up by myself."
Er Zhu surveyed his surroundings, looking at the ninjas holding samurai swords, and then turned to look at Xiao Tian Huizi behind him.
Although he did not take these ninja masters seriously, he could not guarantee that what had just happened would not occur again.
He did not want to owe Xiao Tian Huizi any favors, nor did he want innocent people to be implicated because of him.
"Since we've come this far, I'll accompany you up."
Xiao Tian Huizi, panting, instinctively wanted to agree, but thinking of the danger they had just faced, she shook her head.
"No need. It's very dangerous on the mountain. You'll only be a burden to me if you go up."
Seeing Xiao Tian Huizi's determined gaze, Er Zhu's eyes flickered, and he could only use this method to make her stay.
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Xiao Tian Huizi's eyes, and she tightly gripped the hem of her clothes.
She had risked her life to protect Er Zhu, but she did not expect that in Er Zhu's heart, she was just a burden!
Was her sincerity really so worthless?
The more Xiao Tian Huizi thought about it, the sadder she became, and even tears welled up in her eyes. But just then, she saw a large flock of birds take flight from the dense forest not far away.
When birds are startled, it means someone is there!
Xiao Tian Huizi looked vigilantly at the dense forest, and a sentence her father had taught her in her childhood echoed in her mind.
Therefore, Er Zhu didn't really think she was a burden; he was saying it deliberately!
Xiao Tian Huizi's eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something, and she looked gratefully at Er Zhu.
At the same time, her hand, which had been tightly gripping her clothes, slowly relaxed, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
Er Zhu cared about her!
This realization made Xiao Tian Huizi extremely excited. She nodded heavily and sat on a bluestone slab nearby, saying, "I'll sit here obediently and wait for you to come back!"
"Mmm."
Upon hearing Xiao Tian Huizi say this, Er Zhu only grunted from his throat and continued to walk forward.
His indifferent attitude extinguished the hope that had reignited in Xiao Tian Huizi's heart.
And only now did she realize that Er Zhu cared about her, but this care was only the care between friends, unrelated to romance!
Looking at Er Zhu's departing back, a tear rolled down Xiao Tian Huizi's cheek, her heart aching as if sliced by a knife...
...
"You've all come out, haven't you?"
Fifteen minutes later, when Er Zhu reached the encirclement of the ninja masters, he shouted to the surroundings.
He had listened to Ito Yuichi's endless nonsense downstairs, and here, he did not want to hear any more nonsense.
"Heh, Mr. Wang is indeed a martial arts master. You've discovered our ambush."
Hearing this, Xiao Tian Yilang, who had been waiting for a long time, no longer bothered to hide and slowly walked out of the wooden house.
Whoosh...
Just as Xiao Tian Yilang was about to say something, he suddenly saw a short dagger hurtling towards him at an extreme speed!
Xiao Tian Yilang quickly pulled over a bodyguard. Before he could react, the bodyguard's head was severed!
Thud!
"Ah!"
Blood splattered all over Xiao Tian Yilang's face. The sticky blood on his face filled him with extreme fear!
If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been the one to die!
Ignoring the blood on his face, Xiao Tian Yilang fled madly into the depths of the dense forest.
At this moment, he had only one thought: he wanted to live!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
But the short dagger seemed to have eyes. No matter how he ran, the dagger stayed close behind him!
Xiao Tian Yilang kept looking back at the short dagger while running with all his might.
The ninja masters hidden in the dense forest saw this scene and a hint of shock flashed in their eyes. They had discussed for a long time and decided not to act for now!
This Chinese person was truly too formidable. He actually possessed internal energy!
Looking at the relentlessly pursuing short dagger, the ninja masters were filled with shock. Some of the more cowardly ones had even wet themselves!
Chinese martial arts were profound and extensive, divided into body cultivation and spirit cultivation. Body cultivation was the lowest level, while spirit cultivation was the highest realm!
And that short dagger had already flown tens of kilometers. This was said to be the highest level of spirit cultivation!
The ninja masters gasped. While watching Xiao Tian Yilang, they quickly retreated.
They were assassins, but they would not do foolish things like sacrificing their lives for a mission!
What's more, Mr. Xiao Tian had only paid the deposit.
In an instant, all the ninja masters had withdrawn, but Xiao Tian Yilang was completely unaware of this.
"Wang Er Zhu, hurry up and recall your dagger, or I'll chop you into mincemeat!"
Not far away, Xiao Tian Yilang, panting, shouted loudly as he ran.
