"…" The Ninth Young Master just looked at him with a smile. When Shu Mingshen finally couldn't help but fall asleep, Gong Jiu slowly reached out his hand and gently drew a line beside his ear …

Although it wasn't impossible for him to kidnap him, after what happened tonight, he felt that this matter seemed to be getting more and more interesting.

At least as far as he knew, there was definitely more than one person in the Jianghu who wanted to kill Shu Mingshen at this moment. It was just that there weren't many people who knew his true identity. Fortunately, he acted early. Otherwise, it would be hard to guess who would be the winner in the end.

However, now he could already be sure that no matter how many people wanted to find trouble with Shu Mingshen after knowing about this, the person who would win in the end would definitely be him …

"…" Jiu Gongzi propped his head on his hand and looked at Shu Mingshen with a smile. Shu Mingshen rubbed against the blanket uncomfortably and curled his head up, falling into a deeper sleep. Jiu Gongzi slowly closed his eyes.

Since he had already fallen into his hands, if he could still be taken away by someone else, he might as well change his name to Gong Jiu!

When Shu Mingshen woke up the next day, it was already late in the morning.

When he opened the door and walked out of the room, he found that the corpses that were piled up in the courtyard last night were indeed gone. Agy was holding a broom and sweeping the courtyard like he did every day.

Shu Mingshen wanted to let him rest. After all, he and Agy were beaten up by those people last night. However, after hesitating for a moment, Agy said to him, "It's all because of me that you were also beaten up by them …"

Shu Mingshen didn't take it seriously and said, "Didn't I say that this has nothing to do with you? It's all because they were too unreasonable. If worse comes to worst, we can just report it to the authorities. I don't believe that they can't punish these rascals!"

Agy sighed and said with a heavy expression, "It's not what you think, I mean …"

Agy wanted to say that he felt very guilty about the other party being beaten up. It wasn't entirely because he had implicated him, but also because he could have saved him, but because of that moment of hesitation, he didn't make a move …

However, before he finished speaking, another voice came from the side and interrupted him, "Both of you are up so early!"

Shu Mingshen and Agy turned their heads together and found that the person who spoke was the Ninth Young Master, who was walking towards them with a smile.

Shu Mingshen nodded and smiled at him. Agy kept his mouth shut and lowered his head to continue sweeping the dust on the ground.

"…" The Ninth Young Master faintly glanced at Agy, then said to Shu Mingshen, "I saw that you were still asleep just now, so I didn't wake you up. I have already sent away those officials for you, Brother Shu, you don't have to worry."

Shu Mingshen quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Ninth Elder Brothers, for your help!"

The Ninth Young Master curled his lips and smiled indifferently.

Shu Mingshen then said goodbye to Agy and walked towards the backyard with the Ninth Young Master.

Not long after Shu Mingshen left, Agy was focused on sweeping the ground when another person walked in front of him.

"…" Agy raised his head and found that it was Dongfang Bubai who was wearing women's clothing.

"You are really diligent," Dongfang Bubai sneered, looked at him and said, "Could it be that you watched him being chased and beaten by that group of people last night?"

Agy didn't say anything, he just silently gathered the fallen leaves on the ground with a dustpan and planned to burn them.

Dongfang Bubai obviously didn't intend to let him go, he raised his hand and stopped him, "You haven't answered my question."

Agy finally sighed, turned his head to look at the other and said, "Don't you already know the result?"

Since you already know, why ask again?

"If that playboy didn't come in time last night, would you also have to watch him get killed?"

Dongfang Bubai looked at him coldly and said, "Did you forget who picked you up from the streets and didn't let you die of hunger and cold outside?"

"…" Agy didn't know what to say, he could only stand there silently.

"I don't know if you have some strange fetish that you don't want to reveal your skills in such a situation," Dongfang Bubai said with his arms crossed, "But if he wasn't saved in time because of you, I will definitely not let you go."

Seeing Agy standing there with his head lowered and still not saying anything, Dongfang Bubai impatiently raised his bright red finger and fiercely poked the other's shoulder, forcing the other to take a step back, and said, "Maybe you don't see him as a friend, but if you think he can be easily bullied, then you are wrong …"

"If something really happens to him, even if you still want to live a peaceful life, I won't let you succeed!"

Finished speaking, he didn't wait for the other's reaction, he simply turned and left.

"…" Agy looked at the other's back, a moment later, he laughed bitterly.

It wasn't that he didn't see Shu Mingshen as a friend, but if his identity was exposed, those people would definitely not let him go.

"…" Agy's hand that was holding the dustpan couldn't help but tighten. It wasn't easy for him to find a new friend here and get the short life he dreamed of, he really couldn't bear to break this rare peace.

He also knew that he had wronged Shu Mingshen, he only hoped that those people would never come again, so that he could continue to live a peaceful life here …

After a few days, those people who came to make trouble for them — — whether it was the people from Baihutang or those unknown killers — — didn't come again. Shu Mingshen and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few days, Lu Zongzi, who came that day, named Lu Xiaofeng, would come to Shu Mingshen's place from time to time, and every time he came, he would sit until very late before leaving.

Shu Mingshen didn't understand at first, until he saw that Lu Zongzi would be particularly enthusiastic every time he saw Dongfang Bubai, surrounding him and chattering non-stop.

"…" Because ever since that day, Dongfang Bubai has been dressed in women's clothing. (Every year, Dongfang Bubai would dress up as a woman for about half a year), therefore, Shu Mingshen did not know whether Lu Xiao Feng knew that Dongfang Bubai was actually a man or not.

But he thought that if Dongfang found him annoying, he would naturally say it, so Shu Mingshen didn't care much.

Because he was worried about Lu Xiaofeng's safety, as Shu Mingshen had guessed, recently Dongfang Bubai had been spending a lot more time at home, and this also imperceptibly increased Lu Xiaofeng's chances of coming in contact with him.

"…" Although Dongfang Bubai's face immediately sank every time he saw this person, Lu Xiaofeng still happily went forward, as if he didn't notice the other party's dislike for him.
