Upon hearing this, Shu Mingshen said gratefully to the other party, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Hua!"

"But I'm not the only one here," Shu Mingshen said thoughtfully, "If those men in black really come again and can't find me, I'm afraid that Agy and the others will be implicated …"

Shu Mingshen looked at Hua Manlou and said, "Moreover, I have a clear conscience. I have never done anything that would make others want to kill me. In addition, after this battle, so many assassins have died at the hands of Brother Lu and the others. I'm afraid that they may not dare to come again. So it's not that I want to reject Brother Hua's good intentions, but that I really can't leave here …"

Although Shu Mingshen had just experienced an assassination, he still felt that this matter was a little unreal to him, so he thought that this was probably just a coincidence. After all, he had lived for half his life and had never offended anyone, nor was he a Jianghu person who fought and killed. Why would these people want to kill him?

In addition, these people were all dead at this moment, so the matter was probably over. He really didn't want to leave the place where he had lived for more than ten years because of this.

After hearing this, Hua Manlou nodded slightly, but he didn't force the other party. After all, although he was blind, his heart wasn't. When the Dongfang girl came in, he found that she was a very powerful martial artist. Her skills were definitely not below his and Lu Xiaofeng's. In fact, he had met Agy a few times before. Although he tried his best to hide his skills, he was obviously very good at martial arts. With these people here to protect Shu Mingshen, there wouldn't be any problems.

The only one he couldn't figure out was the Ninth Young Master …

According to the other party, he was rescued by Shu Mingshen a few days ago from the hands of a few thugs and was now recuperating here.

Hua Manlou also didn't know when Shu Mingshen's place had so many strange people living here. He only hoped that his friend's luck wasn't too bad. If he encountered any danger, he could turn it into safety.

"If there's anything, send someone to the small building to inform me," Hua Manlou said to Shu Mingshen with a smile, "I won't be leaving here for a while. If you're free, you can often come to my place to take a look. It just so happens that I recently obtained a few sets of miscellaneous books. If Brother Shu comes, you can help me read a few pages …"

Shu Mingshen smiled and stood up, bowing deeply to the other party, "Brother Hua, thank you. I will definitely meet Brother Hua next time!"

After watching Hua Manlou and Lu Xiaofeng leave together, Shu Mingshen stood at the door until they were out of sight. Only then did he finally close the door again.

When he turned around, he saw the Ninth Young Master standing at the side looking at him with a smile. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then asked, "Ninth Elder Brothers, aren't you going to rest yet?"

Upon hearing this, the Ninth Young Master said, "Because I have to wait for Brother Shu to come with me."

Shu Mingshen seemed to be a little embarrassed as he raised his hand and scratched his head, saying, "Today's matters were all caused by us, but we innocently implicated you, Ninth Elder Brothers. I'm really ashamed …"

The Ninth Young Master looked at him with a smile, then raised his hand and pulled him towards the direction of the bedroom. As he walked, he said, "Brother Shu, you risked your life to save me that day. How could I leave you here alone? It's a pity that I was injured and couldn't help Brother Shu. Even if I'm ashamed, it should be me who's ashamed."

Shu Mingshen tried his best to look straight ahead as he followed behind the Ninth Young Master. He didn't look at the piles of corpses on both sides of the road until the two of them returned to the room. He finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest, saying, "I wouldn't dare. Ninth Elder Brothers, you worry too much."

The Ninth Young Master helped Shu Mingshen make the bed, then supported Shu Mingshen, whose legs were still a little weak, to the bed. Seeing that the other party was puzzled, he smiled and explained, "Compared to me, Brother Shu, you are the injured one, so naturally, you should sleep on this bed."

Shu Mingshen repeatedly refused, but the Ninth Young Master refused to agree. He could only say, "If that's the case, why don't we sleep together? Anyway, this bed is quite spacious. The two of us can sleep together."

When the Ninth Young Master heard this, he turned his gaze to Shu Mingshen and said slowly, "I don't mind, but won't I disturb Brother Shu?"

Shu Mingshen quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel at ease letting the Ninth Elder Brothers sleep on the ground alone …"

If the other party caught a cold and his old injury relapsed, then it wouldn't be fun.

The Ninth Young Master didn't refuse anymore. After the scholar got into the quilt, he took off his outer clothes and lay on the side of the bed.

Although Shu Mingshen was extremely tired today, perhaps it was because of the excessive shock and the fact that there were still corpses lying on the ground in the courtyard, he couldn't fall asleep even after tossing and turning on the bed for a long time.

Hearing the sound of someone turning over beside him, Shu Mingshen opened his big eyes and looked to the side. He found that the Ninth Young Master was still awake.

"Ninth Elder Brothers, aren't you going to sleep?" Shu Mingshen asked.

When the Ninth Young Master heard this, he paused for a moment and said, "This is the first time I'm sleeping with someone, so I'm not used to it yet."

When Shu Mingshen heard this, he immediately said, "Then why don't I sleep on the floor? I don't want to disturb the Ninth Elder Brothers' rest!"

Shu Mingshen said and was about to get up, but he was stopped by the Ninth Young Master.

The Ninth Young Master looked at him with a smile and said, "I'm just kidding. Brother Shu, you're too gullible!"

Shu Mingshen lay down again and said with a smile, "I'm indeed a little stupid. My mother often said that about me …"

"Oh?" The Ninth Young Master raised his eyebrows and said, "May I know where your mother is right now?"

When Shu Mingshen heard this, his expression seemed to darken. He sighed slightly and said, "My mother passed away a few years ago."

"…" The Ninth Young Master was silent for a moment. He couldn't help but raise his hand and pat the other party's shoulder comfortingly and said, "If your mother can see Brother Shu's current appearance in the netherworld, I think she can be at ease."

The two chatted for a while. Shu Mingshen said, "I don't know why those black-clothed men wanted to kill me. I don't remember offending anyone …"

The Ninth Young Master stared at his face and said slowly, "There are many things in this world that are difficult to explain. You don't kill others, but others just have to find trouble with you. You see, I haven't offended anyone, but didn't I still get into trouble?

So Brother Shu, I think you should be more open-minded … "

When Shu Mingshen heard this, he thought for a moment and finally nodded. Anyway, even if he thought about it, he might not be able to figure it out.
