They dodged the dart the moment Shadow Thirteen pounced over, but the force was too great and he couldn’t stop it. That was why he fell to the ground and rolled a few times. However, Shadow Thirteen protected Shadow Six extremely well and almost didn’t let him hit the ground. On the other hand, the back of his hand and elbow were scraped.
Shadow Thirteen had no time to care about this. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Not far away, there was the sound of an intense battle. However, the person he was pressing down on had a pair of starry eyes.
Thinking of the touch of his waist when he held him just now, he could not believe that a sacrificial soldier’s waist was so thin.
It seemed that it was not only thin, but also very powerful.
Shadow Thirteen placed one hand behind Shadow Six’s back, and the other was still holding onto this peerless slender waist. The moonlight was very cold, but that slender waist was a little hot.
Shadow Six was endlessly glad that he had dodged the bullet and did not notice someone’s abnormality. He patted his chest and said, “That was too dangerous! Fortunately, you came quickly, or I would have died! Speaking of which, didn’t you walk in front? I couldn’t catch up..
“Kill them! The sorcerer is ours!” A shout came from the alley, ruining the mood.
Shadow Thirteen’s eyes moved. Shadow Six thought of something and said to him, “You’re not injured, right?”
“No,” Shadow Thirteen said hoarsely.
Shadow Six did not believe him. It was not like he had never licked blood with the tip of his knife. When he pounced down just now, all his strength was pressed on Shadow Thirteen. The more he said that, the more likely Shadow Thirteen was to be injured.
“Get up and let me take a look,” Shadow Six said as he pushed his shoulder.
Shadow Thirteen let go of Shadow Six and stood up. The palm that had touched his slender waist was still hot. He did not even feel the back of his hand that was badly mangled.
“I told you you were injured!” Shadow Six grabbed Shadow Thirteen’s hand.
“Look, you’re bleeding! And your elbow is broken!”
Shadow Thirteen retracted his hand imperceptibly and said indifferently, “It’s just a small injury. It’s fine.”
Shadow Six grabbed his wrist again. “No, you’re seriously injured. This place isn’t far from the courtyard we live in. We should go back and treat your injuries first!”
Shadow Thirteen wanted to refuse, but Shadow Six pulled him away without any explanation. His waist was slender, and his fingertips were also thin. It did not look like a hand that was playing with a knife or a gun. They were clasped around his wrist, and it was so fair that it was glowing.
“Let me tell you, don’t take these small injuries lightly. You’re young now, and you won’t feel anything. But you’ll suffer when you’re old.” These words were often said by Old Cui. Shadow Six had heard it many times and knew how to say it.
Shadow Six brought Shadow Thirteen back to his room. They could deal with this injury themselves. There was no need to trouble Yu Wan and Old Cui. Shadow Six went to his room to take out a clean cotton cloth, golden sore medicine, and disinfectant medicine.
He had also suffered even more serious injuries, so these were indeed nothing. The two of them did not say anything pretentious like “it hurts very much, bear with it”. Shadow Six rolled up Shadow Thirteen’s sleeve, revealing most of his muscular arm.
Shadow Six thought that he was considered strong, but compared to Shadow Thirteen, he was a weak chicken.
Shadow Six dipped the cotton cloth in the medicine. As he cleaned Shadow Thirteen’s wound, he couldn’t help but pinch his muscles and mutter, “I’ve also practiced what you practiced. Why are you so strong…?”
His fingertips were cold and soft. When he pinched his arm, it caught him off guard. Shadow Thirteen cleared his throat. “I practiced my swordsmanship an hour earlier than you.”
“Oh.” Shadow Six lowered his head.
Shadow Thirteen continued, “Young Master also trained an hour earlier than you.”
Shadow Six curled his lips. “Why are you all up so early?”
No wonder his figure was so good! He, the number one scout in the world, Shadow Six, also wanted to be a strong little warrior!
Shadow Six finished treating Shadow Thirteen’s injuries and brought the unfinished ointment and disinfectant back to his room. Just as he left, Zhou Yuyan walked in.
“Thirteen.” Zhou Yuyan looked at the tall man in the shadows and called out with a smile.
Shadow Thirteen rolled down his sleeves and turned around expressionlessly.
“What’s the matter?”
Along the way, Shadow Thirteen had a ten-thousand-year-old ice-cold face. Zhou Yuyan was used to it and walked forward with a smile. “Where did you go just now? I came to look for you, but I couldn’t find you.”
“Are you looking for me or Shadow Six?” Shadow Thirteen said bluntly.
Zhou Yuyan blushed and awkwardly tucked her beautiful hair behind her ear. She looked out of the room and after confirming that Shadow Six did not come, she took out a small purse from her sleeve.
“What are you doing?” Shadow Thirteen looked at her purse and asked.
“Can you… help me hand it over to Shadow Six?” Zhou Yuyan asked awkwardly.
“Why should I hand it over to him?” Shadow Thirteen asked.
“I embroidered this pouch myself…” Zhou Yuyan bit her lip. The little girl’s voice was thin and soft, like the rain in Jiangnan in April, gentle to the core.
However, Shadow Thirteen’s expression did not change. “He has a pouch.”
Zhou Yuyan :
That’s not right. You shouldn’t answer like this…
“It’s even better than yours,” Shadow Thirteen interrupted her.
Zhou Yuyan, who was completely choked: ‘
After breaking the awkwardness between them, Dawa returned. He went to the Dark Hall and thought that that person would only arrive at the black market tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he was almost there.
“What did you say? He’s here?” Yu Wan put down the medical book in her hand.
Dawa said, “He’s not already here. He’s almost here. A few Guardians of the Dark Hall are on their way to welcome him.”
Yu Wan smiled. “The Guardians have to welcome him personally. The other party has a powerful background.”
Dawa said truthfully, “There’s no choice. He offers a high bounty and is our big customer.”
Yu Wan raised her eyebrows. “I’m a little curious. How much is Zhou Jin worth?”
“A hundred thousand.’ Yu Wan was stunned.
“Gold.”
Yu Wan’s eyes almost popped out. The other party was too generous. Wasn’t a hundred thousand gold a million taels of silver? Was that child so valuable?!
When Dawa first heard about this bounty, he was also shocked. Their Dark Hall’s business was never cheap, but it was not so expensive. A hundred thousand taels of gold was enough to sell eight to ten of them, let alone one Great Sorcerer.
Of course, that child was talented. The price of such a prodigy would be higher, but it shouldn’t be so ridiculous.
It wasn’t that Dawa hadn’t thought about it. That child might have some other background, but this wasn’t something he should care about. This was a transaction, he could not be anymore curious about it. This was the rule of the black market and also the foundation of the Dark Hall.
Dawa looked at Yu Wan and Yan Jiuchao and said, “I’ve told you the news. What happens next is up to you. However, you promised me that you wouldn’t drag me down.”
Yan Jiuchao tapped his slender fingers on the table casually. “Where are they?”
Dawa thought for a while and said, “If I didn’t estimate wrongly, they should be at Willow Woods Slope now.”
Willow Woods Slope was the only way to reach the black market. It was less than twenty miles away.
“How long have your people been gone?” Yan Jiuchao asked.
“They just set off,” Dawa said.
Shadow Thirteen walked in. ‘Young Master, what happened?”
Yan Jiuchao said thoughtfully, “The person who came to take over has arrived. Think of a way to see that man before the Guardians of the Dark Hall.” “Yes!” Shadow Thirteen accepted the order and left.
Their plan was simple and rough. Shadow Thirteen would pretend to be the man who met them and lure away that group of people. Then, Yu Shaoqing and Shadow Six would pretend to be the guardians of the Dark Hall and bring the man who met them to Dawa’s courtyard.
Poor Dawa:
What happened to not dragging him down?
Things went very smoothly. After Shadow Thirteen disguised himself, he was brought back to the Dark Hall by the guardians as a contact. The real contact “stayed” at Dawa’s residence under Yu Shaoqing and Shadow Six’s enthusiastic reception.
Dawa’s face darkened! !! But Dawa could not resist anything. He still had the Gu that woman had given him in his body.
Dawa felt bitter, but he did not say anything.
The contact was a scholarly man in his early thirties. He was neither a sorcerer nor an expert, but a Gu Master with very outstanding Gu techniques. No wonder he had the guts to go to the black market alone.
Unfortunately, no matter how powerful a Gu Master was, they would only be poisoned by Yu Wan.
Yu Wan was in a hurry to get the medicine for Yan Jiuchao. She did not have the time to waste on him and directly poisoned him.
The man’s body froze.
“Who are you?” Yu Wan asked.
The man didn’t want to say it, but he couldn’t help but say, “I’m from the
Sorcerer Clan.”
This answer was not surprising. If he wasn’t from the Sorcerer Clan, why would he spend a lot of money to capture the Sorcerer King’s child? Yu Wan continued, ‘Who wanted to capture that child?” The man gritted his teeth tightly.. “…Sorcerer Queen!”
