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 Feng’s eyeball, emitting and surrounded by a layer of cold air.
Du Feng didn’t dare to move.
Zuo Xun sighed. “Lin Yi, back down!”
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. “When Master Shi comes back, let’s see if he can still protect you!”
“Let’s go.” Du Feng left quickly with his men. Zhou Jun panicked. “Du Feng…”
However, he didn’t 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. “Lin Yi, you should leave. When Shi Shaochen comes back, I’ll be finished. You should take this opportunity to go somewhere else.”
“I’m not leaving.” 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. “Lin Yi, kill them!”
Lin Yi was like his living weapon, ready to attack without hesitation.
“If you want him to die, kill us, then.” Tang Susu said slowly. Before Zuo Xun could say anything, Lin Yi suddenly stopped.
“Do you think I’ll fall for your tricks again? Tang Susu, you’ve really screwed me over! Don’t worry, I’ll remember you even when I become a ghost!” Zuo Xun said coldly.
“You’re not afraid of death, but you’re afraid of Shi Shaochen. Ha! Amusing. “Tang Susu stood up. “It seems like I’ve misjudged you. Mom, let’s go.”
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 couldn’t help but ask, “What do you mean? Explain to me.”
“But do you think you can still leave?” 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. Tang’s heart tightened, but Tang Susu turned around calmly. “Do you think I’m doing this because I want to kill you?”
“Isn’t that so?” Although he said that, Zuo Xun had some guesses, but his heart could not help but beat faster.
“I don’t have that much time to start fights with others unless they’re making things hard for me first. It’s normal for me to retaliate then, right?”
Zuo Xun didn’t respond to her.
Tang Susu chuckled. “There 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?”
Zuo Xun stood up, surprised. “You’re crazy!”
“Do you think you have any other options? It’s true that it won’t be difficult for you to survive with your skills.”
“But 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?”
Zuo Xun clenched his fists.
Tang Susu was an excellent speaker. She was like the devil, using her words to stir the man’s hidden desire!
“Besides, do you still want to live a life where you can’t even sleep soundly because others despise and target you? Do you want to live a life where you want to achieve something but you can’t and you force yourself to live a life of mediocrity?”
“How long do you think your superficial prosperity and temporary honor can last? All I need is to defeat the person beside you and everything you’ve worked so hard for will collapse. All the people you’ve offended will swarm over and trample you until nothing is left!”
“Is this what you want? To use me against Shi Shaochen? Then you really think too highly of me!” Zuo Xun sneered, but a faint self-deprecating tone was inside of words.
“This time, I’m not using you. I’m cooperating with you. After this is done, this shelter will be yours as long as you do a little something for me.”
“Why should I believe you that you’ll cooperate with me after using me? I’m not a fool. I’ve been tricked by you repeatedly, and I’m learning my lessons!”
“Because we have a common enemy now. It’s that simple.”
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 hands…
“Don’t worry, as long as you’re bold enough to take Shi Shaochen’s position, I’ll help you secure it!”
Zuo Xun was still hesitating when Lin Yi said, “Just agree with her. If you succeed, you’ll get everything you want. If you fail, you’ll die. But they’re going to kill you, anyway!”
Tang Susu glanced at him.
However, Zuo Xun focused on the youth in front of him. “No matter what happens, I’ll stay by your side..”
