Yu Lie turned his head and walked upstairs, the medicines were sold on the second floor.It was very quiet up there, only a few people were busy, and there were a few people who also came to buy medicine standing in front of the counter, and they didn't join in the fun when there was such a big commotion downstairs.

Jing Zhao followed him upstairs, halfway there, he saw a person huddled in the corner of the lobby on the first floor, which was very familiar.He leaned on the handrail and stood at the spot to identify it carefully, only then did he realize that the young man was his old friend, Diaoci.

But how did he become like this?

Jing Zhao tugged on Yu Lie's clothes, "I have a friend downstairs, I'll go talk to him, I'll wait for you downstairs later."

Yu Lie nodded in agreement, and walked to the medicine cabinet alone.

Diao Ci is one of the few friends of Jing Zhao's age who was born as a thief.Diao Ci never said what his surname was, and even this name was changed by himself, which means to remember his loving mother.

Jing Zhao felt that his background was quite pitiful, and the two of them were the same age, so they used to eat together often.

"Diaoci?" Jing Zhao strode up to the young man, even though he kept his head buried, Jing Zhao confirmed his identity.

Diaoci raised his head, but the smile on Jing Zhao's face gradually froze, only to see that Diaoci's face was bloodless, his eyes were darkened, and his original delicate face no longer existed.

Jing Zhao squatted down and held his shoulders, "What's the matter with you? Wasn't it fine before?"

"Jing Zhao?" Diao Ci said in surprise.

He immediately pursed his lips and shook his head, and it took a lot of effort to say a word: "I was unlucky. I took a mission a few days ago and was discovered halfway. I was beaten until I was almost breathless. I don't know Why, I managed to come back here and took some medicine, but I didn't live well for a few days."

"Don't say that." Jing Zhao frowned, and the caring smile hurt his eyes, "I don't believe there is no cure."

He reached out his hand to feel Diao Ci's pulse, but when he touched his hand, Jing Zhao stopped.Diaoci's hands and tendons were broken, and the exposed parts were also covered with scars. Jing Zhao saw these shocking injuries, and his hands trembled unconsciously.

He said with a carefree air: "I can still see my friends before I die, and I have no regrets."

Jing Zhao lowered his head and stopped talking, he couldn't even bear to see Diaoci.

"Someone is coming." Diao Ci murmured, still motionless, looking away.

Hearing this, Jing Zhao thought that Yu Lie would not be so fast, so he turned his head and saw some unkind people.

"Your Excellency, do you dare to ask your surname?" Although they used Jing Zhao's honorific name, there was always something uncomfortable in their tone.

Jing Zhao got up and stood in front of Diaoci, facing the four burly adults alone, "There is no need to be honest with each other in Pofengtang, sorry, I don't want to reveal my identity."

"The rules of Pofengtang have always been set by powerful people. Since you can come in with Ruxi, then I would like to ask you about your kung fu, how about it?"

After careful selection in front of the medicine cabinet, Yu Lie paid the silver taels, and waited for the clerk to get him the medicine later, so it took a long time.

As soon as he walked up the next step, he heard the sound of fighting coming from the bottom.However, there were often fights in Pofeng Hall, so he didn't take it seriously, and still walked steadily.

When Yu Lie walked halfway and saw the battle situation from a distance, he was startled, and instantly turned over from the stairs, stepped on the table and chairs, climbed a pillar, and leaped over in a few steps.

Jing Zhao's third-level level of Jin Xuanjing is outstanding among ordinary people, but it is only average in Pofeng.The four people who approached him were all Tier [-] cultivation bases, Jing Zhao could only barely defend, and if Yu Lie didn't come, he wouldn't be able to hold on.

"Ruixi is coming!" The crowd watching the fun shouted, looking forward to a good show.

Seeing the four people united to surround Jing Zhao, Yu Lie was furious, and his devilish energy rushed out uncontrollably!

He froze for a moment, this was the first time he hadn't touched blood, and the magic energy ran out by himself.

Unable to control so much, Yu Lie drew out his weapon, and with the white mask on his face, he was so angry that he really came down like a god of death, which made people tremble.

Just this kind of aura has dispelled a lot of arrogance from the opponent.

Yu Lie rushed over and dragged Jing Zhao behind him, and took over the offensive of the four by himself, angrily shouting, "Who dares to be presumptuous!"

The four people on the opposite side were killing red eyes, even if they saw Ruxi, they were dazzled and attacked.

But Yu Lie's title as a top assassin is not for nothing, his moves are fierce and bloody.

Jing Zhao watched for a while before he realized that his demonic energy had committed another attack, and this time Yu Lie didn't know how to suppress it. He let the magical energy come out with his moves, directly hitting the opponent's body, causing damage several times stronger than ordinary moves.

It can't go on like this, Jing Zhao is afraid that it will be difficult for him to suppress the devilish energy if he lets it indulge for a while.

The moment the four of them were knocked down one after another, Jing Zhao broke into the battle at the right time, and went to pull Yu Lie without fear of being accidentally injured.

Did Yu Lie calm down the moment he saw Jing Zhao? Once he calmed down, the demonic energy still wanted him to continue killing.Yu Lie closed his eyes, forced the demonic energy back, and whispered, "I'll adjust my breath."

"Well, I'll take care of the rest." Jing Zhao looked at him worriedly, and patted his hand quietly.

When the four fell to the ground and saw Jing Zhao standing up again, they were ready to move.

Yu Lie immediately looked over with cold eyes, "I want to die so much, I will fulfill you now."

"You don't need to kill them." Jing Zhao quickly reached out to stop him.

He raised his voice and said to the surrounding onlookers: "I know that there are many people who disagree with me, but you have to be clear that winning Ruxi's trust is not only based on force, but also on character! People like you , which of the above can appreciate you?"

Yu Lie looked at Jing Zhao quietly like everyone else. Although he was injured, his body was straight, and he said these words without being humble or humble, with a kind of aura that shocked the world.

Yu Lie said: "Have you heard everything? Let's go!"

The crowd gradually dispersed, Yu Lie was about to pull Jing Zhao away, but Jing Zhao didn't move, "Wait, my friend..."

"Your friend?" Yu Lie remembered, "Oh, is there anything else to say?"

Jing Zhao's face was instantly downcast, "No, he...he won't live long, I want to be with him again."

Yu Lie was slightly stunned, Jing Zhao had already returned to Diaoci's side, Diaoci saw him coming, his eyeballs moved, and the corners of his mouth twitched to smile at him.

Yu Lie also squatted down, looked at Diao Ci's injuries, he was indeed helpless.

"This is, Master Ruxi." Diao Ci looked at Yu Lie with some admiration.

"Yeah," Jing Zhao glanced at Yu Lie, and then said to Diao Ci, "Are you cold, are you staying here at night?"

"It's okay, I'm on my way too. I'm very happy to have you as my last ride."

Jing Zhao took his hand, "Diaoci, I also regard you as a close friend. If you have any unfinished business or thoughts, I can help you."

"I have nothing to worry about... But can I trouble you to bury me in Shiyao Mountain, next to my mother." Diaoci's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked into the distance, "Mother is here to pick me up." , goodbye Jing Zhao."

Diaoci had lost his breath, Jing Zhao held his hand for a long time, bowed his head and muttered silently.

Yu Lie patted him on the back, "Take him out first."

Jing Zhao nodded lightly, carried Diao Ci on his back and walked out, Yu Lie turned his head and looked at the place where Diao Ci was staying, there was a large puddle of blood that had dried up.

The two left under the silent eyes of everyone. People die every day in Pofengtang, but today the person who died is lucky. Someone is willing to take his body away from here, and it looks like he will be buried properly.

In Shiyao Mountain, they found Diao Ci Niang's grave, Diao Ci took good care of it, the gray stone tablet, and a small platform in front of the monument, clean and tidy.

Jing Zhao read the inscription on the tombstone, Diao Ci Niang Lin's family name, he thought, let Diao Ci also have the surname Lin.

The two started to fight, and Jing Zhao took the initiative to talk about the love affair, and told Yu Lie and his mother.

"Diaoci was as old as me, and I knew him when I first entered Pofeng. He was homeless like me, but I was used to that kind of life, but at that time he had just lost his mother and was murdered Kidnapped and tricked into being an assassin. We were both young at the time, and even if we were together, there were very few tasks we could do.”

Yu Lie listened intently without saying a word, feeling sorry for Jing Zhao's previous situation, and secretly made up his mind to rectify the system of recruiting newcomers in the future.

Although he had lived among the assassins since he was a child, with his adoptive father taking care of him, he basically didn't suffer much, at least he didn't feel homeless.When Jing Zhao was so young, no one took him in or treated him well. How did he come here and live such a clear life.

Jing Zhao continued: "We had no money to eat and no land to live in. We just got together like this for half a year, living like a beggar. He wanted to commit suicide at that time, but I persuaded him."

After he finished speaking, he stopped and saw that the pit had formed, so he stood up and rested for a while.

"You've done a good job, life and death are life and death, don't think too much." Yu Lie comforted softly, "Didn't he feel happy because of your appearance before he died?"

Jing Zhao carried Diao Ci over. He was very light and skinny. Then he put him down gently, cleared his throat, and said in a relaxed tone, "Diao Ci, you can sleep peacefully. I will get you a monument later. Just take your mother's name, okay? If it's not good, there's nothing you can do about it, and you can't talk."

After finishing everything, Yulie rubbed Jing Zhao's shoulders, it was quite cold at night, afraid that he would freeze.He thought Jing Zhao would cry, but he didn't expect that he didn't shed a single tear during the whole process.Jing Zhao, who usually loves to be coquettish with himself, is naughty on the surface, but has a stronger heart than imagined.

"You fought with them just now, were you injured?"

Jing Zhao only felt a few pains on his body, but his movement was not hindered. He smiled at Yu Lie. "It's estimated that there are some small cuts and bruises, nothing."

Yu Lie took out the elixir that cost a lot of money and gave him, "Take the medicine and go back down the mountain."

Seeing that he took the medicine obediently, Yulie asked, "Why didn't you kill those people just now, it won't do you any good to keep them."

Jing Zhao touched the wound on his arm, he knew that letting Yulie help him kill them and Liwei would save him from future troubles.But he didn't want to be so weak in front of others, he would only show weakness in front of Yu Lie alone.

"I just... don't want others to think that I'm protected by you." Jing Zhao pouted and said stubbornly.
