The little crybaby in the group, the young master is a softie

In the Tianyan Society's water dungeon, the ground was perpetually covered in half a meter of sewage, with rat carcasses and rotting grass floating in the water. Prisoner Gu had awakened, hanging by chains in the center of the dungeon, the wound on her side soaking in the sewage, a strange white hue.

Xiao Heidan stood outside the prison door, with Chen Yifan following behind him. His wounds had been bandaged, and his dark circles were as heavy as a national treasure.

"She hasn't said why she's targeting the Eighth Hall Master?"

"I told you, it's all crazy." Chen Yifan's voice was a little tired. "She said that the Eighth Hall Master, as a partner, would abandon a pregnant woman; as a father, he would kill an unborn child. She's here for revenge... Do you believe it?"

After hearing this, Xiao Heidan frowned, smacked his teeth and shook his head.

"I think the same as you do, not quite..."

"No," interrupted Little Black Egg, "I mean, what does she mean by that? I'm uneducated, so I don't understand."

Chen Yifan was stunned for a moment, then explained, "Master Bai, this girl's words sound convoluted, but in reality, she's just calling the Eighth Hall Master a worthless person. 'To be a partner, one abandons a pregnant relative' refers to the fact that when he was a husband, he abandoned his pregnant wife. While this isn't uncommon in our underworld, to be held to this level of resentment, I'm afraid he must have been exceptionally heartless back then."

He pointed at the rotten grass floating in the dungeon, his voice deepening. "As for 'being a father, he kills his unborn child,' that's even more sinister. It means that when he became a father, he personally killed his unborn child."

"So this girl is here to collect debts for someone?" Little Black Egg stroked his chin, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Is she a relative of that woman?"

"It's hard to say." Chen Yifan shook his head. "But her hatred for the Eighth Hall Master is too specific. Every word she says hits him where it hurts the most. It doesn't seem like a fabricated grudge. The wound should have become inflamed and festered long ago in the sewage in this dungeon, but she didn't even groan. Either she's truly insensitive to the pain, or the hatred in her heart is more unbearable than the pain in her body."

After hearing this, Little Black Egg's brows furrowed even more tightly. "Tsk, if this is true, then the Eighth Hall Master is truly a piece of shit. He abandoned his wife and children, and even harmed his unborn child. Dying so quickly is a light punishment. If it were me, I'd definitely give him some tough dishes."

He finished speaking indignantly, then turned to Chen Yifan and sighed, "Do you think someone as innocent as me, like me, will be led astray if I hang out with you guys every day?"

Chen Yifan was able to become the head of the hall at such a young age, so he must have more than just two brushes. He immediately responded:

"Master Bai, what kind of person are you? Your heart is more compassionate than a bodhisattva, and your vision is more vast than the ocean. Take the incident at the dock last time, for example. You even specifically ordered that condolence money be sent to the families of the injured brothers. What do you call that? That's called kindness! And when it comes to dealing with traitors, you always say you'll give them a chance to live. What do you call that? That's called mercy!"

He took two steps closer, lowering his voice, but his tone became more earnest: "Your innocence is not stupidity, it is insight. Your soft-heartedness is not weakness, it is kindness. Who among the brothers below doesn't praise your kindness?

For example, when Leopard's mother was sick last time, you paid for her medical expenses without hesitation. That's truly selfless. A person like you, let alone the Eighth Hall Master's dirty deeds, wouldn't be a bad influence on you. Even if all the crooked ways of the Dao were piled up in front of you, you would still remain righteous, like a piece of genuine gold that can't be warmed."

Little Black Egg was flattered by this rainbow fart and smiled brightly. He patted Chen Yifan on the shoulder and said, "You're really good. You've been talking more and more eloquently lately. Did you secretly sign up for a speech class?"

Chen Yifan smiled and said, "How could that be? It's all sincere. Master Bai, your kindness is remembered by all of us brothers. Just like what happened with this girl this time, if it were anyone else, they would have chopped her up and fed her to the dogs without caring about the cause and effect. Why would they be like you, still pondering the origin of her grudge? This is your extraordinary ability."

Little Black Egg waved his hand, his gaze returning to the prisoner in the water dungeon. His tone became more complicated, "Thinking is fine, but if you break the rules, you must be punished. She's caused so many brothers to die. Even if she's right, she still has to settle the score first."

He turned to look at Chen Yifan, "For the brothers who sacrificed this time, please make a detailed list, double the pension for each family, and give them an additional allowance for resettlement. They lost their lives for the Sky Eye Society, and their families must not suffer any injustice."

Chen Yifan nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll do it right away."

Xiao Heidan's gaze drifted back to the solitary black figure in the water dungeon, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "When her wildness is almost worn out, bring her to Su Xiang for a look.

He just likes to collect strange and bizarre things. This girl is ruthless and has a strange background, so maybe she's just what he wants. If she can make him happy, maybe..."

Chen Yifan realized belatedly that his Master Bai had gone through so much trouble just to please Su Xiang?

As if seeing through his thoughts, Xiao Heidan didn't hide it and admitted it openly: "Why? No? Su Xiang is only eighteen, a year younger than me. He's so handsome and so outstanding. Who wouldn't like him?"

When he talked about Su Xiang, his tone was filled with undisguised admiration, even a little bit of subtle obsession: "Why do you think I stayed at Haishang Mingyue as a manager? Isn't it because I want to see him more?

I just don’t believe it. With my ability, one day I’ll be able to climb onto Su Xiang’s bed and knock that damn Ming Xibi down. By then…” He didn’t say anything else, but the arc of his mouth had already exposed his ambition.

Chen Yifan was secretly shocked when he saw his master Bai like this. He had never expected that this powerful figure would behave like an ordinary boy when facing his beloved, and even had a bit of desperate stubbornness.

He lowered his head tactfully and replied, "Then I will take care of this girl and await your instructions, Master Bai."

Little Black Egg nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked out, his steps brisk as if he had new hope.

In the water dungeon at midnight, the rotten water smells fishy, ​​the iron bars are cold, and the dim candles cast ghostly shadows.

The prisoner's skeleton slowly rose from the sewage. The skin around her wrists and ankles was bloody and bruised from the chains, but the chains were not wrapped around flesh but several thin, polished wires.

I don't know what method she used, but she managed to wear off the skin and flesh on her wrists in just one day, use wire instead of bones to clamp the chain, and then use the buoyancy of the sewage to break free little by little.

She slipped out of the chains like a loach. The wound on her side turned white after being soaked in the dirty water, but not much blood came out. She blocked the wound tightly with rags, which was considered a bandage.

"The burden...must be taken away." Qiu Ge muttered to himself in the air.

During this period, the brothers of the Sky Eye Society have been extremely nervous. Now that the criminal has finally been caught, they can finally have a good rest, and there are fewer people guarding the water dungeon.

Barefoot on the muddy floor of the dungeon, she reached the cell door like a ghost, stealthily. The lock was a special combination lock, but she simply pulled out a piece of wire and twisted it twice in the keyhole.

"Click~"

With a slight click, the lock opened.

……

In the guest room of the Tianyan Society, Su Yang was exhausted. He had slept for almost a whole day and had not woken up yet. His dreams were filled with Qiu Gu's frighteningly bright eyes.

At one o'clock in the morning, a corner of the curtain was suddenly blown up by the wind, and the moonlight slipped in through the gap, casting a long shadow on the floor.

Su Yang turned over and felt a little cold. He reached out to pull the quilt, but felt a cold hand.

He suddenly opened his eyes and his heart stopped beating instantly.

Prisoner Skeleton was squatting beside his bed, the hood of his black hoodie pulled down low, revealing only his eyes, which shone like a wolf in the darkness.

"Ah... uh!"

Su Yang wanted to shout, but Qiu Gu covered his mouth with his hands, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush his bones.

"Don't make any noise." Her voice was very soft, as if she was whispering. "It won't be fun if you wake others up."

Su Yang stared at her intently, and with one hand he pulled out a folding knife from under the quilt, and then stabbed her in the neck. The folding knife cut through the prisoner's hoodie, leaving a string of blood beads.

Blood dripped from the cuts on her bones, and her eyes were as cold as ice. Su Yang's attack missed, and she grabbed his wrist with a backhand grip, so strong that his bones ached.

He clenched his other hand into a fist and punched her in the side of the face. The punch was fast and powerful, but she dodged it by turning her head. The wind from the fist swept across the brim of her hat, lifting a few strands of messy hair.

"The burden, you have made great progress."

There was no emotion in Qiu Gu's voice. The hand holding his wrist suddenly exerted force. Su Yang felt a sharp pain and the folding knife fell to the ground.
