The "Low-Profile" 6-Series
"You killed him just to reduce the quota of competitors??"
"Of course not... I killed him because he had a reason to die."
"Our Young Sect Leader has lived in Hanging Jade Domain since childhood. He has never traveled far, much less formed enmities with others. How could he have a reason to die?"
"Just based on his older brother being Tian Huai!" The Assassin's voice became increasingly cold. "Those who act as Lackeys for that dog thief... all have a reason to die, and his younger brother is the same."
The moment this sentence came out, all the Men in Black paused, but immediately after, they said angrily:
"Calamity Does Not Touch the Family! You have a grudge with Tian Huai, why kill our Young Sect Leader??"
"Calamity Does Not Touch the Family?"
The Assassin sneered, "You should go say this to that dog thief who deserves a thousand deaths... and see if he believes it?"
A soft sound transmitted from the side.
The Assassin was startled, as if sensing something, and frowned looking at the shattered and messy remains of the round table...
A young figure with his neck pierced by a Long Sword staggered up from the pool of blood. A pair of angry gazes locked onto the tightly surrounded Assassin.
He spoke hoarsely, pausing at every word:
"My brother... is not a traitor!!"
The Assassin's brows abruptly knitted together!
"Careful!" 9 of Spades seemed to have sensed something. His hands violently grabbed Chen Ling and Jian Changsheng's arms, crashing towards the window at the side like lightning!
Boom—!!!
At the same time, a terrifying shockwave power erupted from within the Young Sect Leader's body, instantly sweeping across the street!
...
Aowu.
After struggling for a long time, Sun Bumian still took a bite out of the last meat steamed bun.
The next moment, a loud bang transmitted from the restaurant at the side, like a sudden clap of thunder, scaring Sun Bumian into a hand tremble, dropping half of the meat bun directly onto the ground, rolling round and round towards the center of the road.
The sky full of Glass slag mixed with wood chips fell from the air in flurries. Among them, a large amount of coins and banknotes from the cashier, as well as countless Crab Legs of king crabs were mixed in, triggering a burst of exclamations from the pedestrians on the road.
Sun Bumian raised his head, his small Round Sunglasses reflecting the sky full of food and wealth. His mouth unconsciously opened wide in shock...
"It's raining... king crabs from the sky??"
After a brief exclamation, the pedestrians on the road successively regained their senses, charging onto the road one after another, starting to pick up those coins and checks scattered on the ground. For a time, the scene was extremely chaotic.
A windfall falling from the sky, no matter in what era, was a scene that was hard for people to refuse... Of course, excluding king crabs. Although most of these passersby had never eaten king crab, they didn't have much interest in the food that was stained with dust on the ground. In their eyes, there were only coins and banknotes.
Sun Bumian pushed his small Round Sunglasses. After remaining silent in the steamed bun shop for a moment, he still let out a long sigh, and similarly walked towards the center of the road.
The figure wearing a black Tang suit passed through the noisy crowd step by step, bypassing the ground full of wealth and delicacies, finally slowly stopping his footsteps in an Unregarded corner...
He bent down and picked up that half-eaten steamed bun. It was covered in wood chips and dust.
"Fortunately it didn't touch anything else." Sun Bumian murmured a sentence, carefully patting off the wood chips on it, then stuffed it into his mouth in one bite, chewing it carefully.
He narrowed his eyes happily like a cat, as if savoring the aftertaste of this delicious lunch one last time. After a long while, he patted his belly in satisfaction.
"—Refreshing!"
He stepped towards the steamed bun shop. That fiery red Awakened Lion Head-dress was still waiting for him at the original spot.
...
Not far from him, three figures leaped directly from the second floor like flying swallows, landing steadily on the ground.
Chen Ling and the others looked up, only to see the second floor of the restaurant had already been soaked by a bizarre Aura, as if swallowing all light... That was a Domain.
"Whoa, still not dead even like this??" Jian Changsheng regained his senses, speaking in surprise. "Are you sure this is the Path of the Puppeteer, and not an Asura of the Path of the Soldier? This vitality is way too heaven-defying, right?"
9 of Spades frowned, recalling the scene just now, as if sensing something, murmuring to himself,
"This guy... no wonder Hanging Jade Domain sent him over."
"By the way, did we have to run away so wretchedly? Those two guys just now seemed to only be Fifth-Tier. With Senior here, couldn't we at least pack up the king crabs and take them with us?" Jian Changsheng looked at the only two remaining Crab Legs in his hands, seemingly extremely heartbroken.
"Theoretically it's like this... but recently, it's not very convenient for me to make a move."
Jian Changsheng looked at 9 of Spades in confusion. "Why?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, that group of guys from the Path of the Scholar God have also arrived at Tianshu Domain. If they detect the fluctuations of my Path, it will attract a few people I don't really want to see." 9 of Spades sighed. "So, it's better for us to be a bit more cautious... If we get involved in that Domain, things will become very troublesome."
"Understood." Jian Changsheng nodded slightly. "Then let's go back first."
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, from his peripheral vision he suddenly saw that on the opposite side of the street, a familiar figure was holding an Awakened Lion Head-dress, wobbling away into the distance. His stepping footsteps suddenly froze!
Jian Changsheng rubbed his eyes, his mouth gradually opening wide...
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, 9 of Spades asked in confusion.
"R... Re-Re-Re-Re... Red Heart!!!" Jian Changsheng's eyes abruptly widened, raising his hand to point at that departing Tang suit figure in the distance. "It's him!! It's him!"
"What is him?" Chen Ling was extremely puzzled.
"That bitch!! When we came, he was the one who kicked us off the train!" Jian Changsheng gnashed his teeth.
Chen Ling's gaze looked in the direction of his fingertips. The moment he saw that figure, he remembered the Awakened Lion youth performing on the street just now... His eyebrows rose slightly.
"Heaven's will, this is heaven's will!! You brat... finally got caught by me, didn't you?!"
"See if I don't kick your head into mush!!"
Jian Changsheng was like a powder keg that had been suppressed for a long time, finally finding the right owner to vent. Without a second word, he darted out like an arrow, sprinting with killing intent surging towards the direction of that Awakened Lion figure!
Seeing this, 9 of Spades was just about to open his mouth to call him to a stop, but in the blink of an eye, Jian Changsheng had already run far away.
"I really... just said to keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!! Treated my words like wind passing by the ear?!" 9 of Spades' face turned dark, like a parent hating iron for not becoming steel.
He turned his head and said earnestly to Chen Ling:
"Red Heart, I know you are much more steady than Little Jian. Next time he does this kind of thing again... you have to stop him."
Chen Ling pondered for a moment. "Senior... I might also have to leave for a while."
"? What are you going to do again??"
Chen Ling reached out his hand, pointing to the second floor of the restaurant that was being covered by the Domain and in the midst of a chaotic battle, speaking firmly:
"Just now we broke the window and left too suddenly. The letter sent to me by my senior brothers and Senior Sister is still on the table... I have to go snatch it back."
As his voice fell, without waiting for 9 of Spades to object, Chen Ling took a step into the void, directly crashing into the battlefield of those two madly operating Domains!
[Audience Expectation Value +3]
9 of Spades widened his eyes, glancing at Jian Changsheng who had run off without a trace, and then glancing at Chen Ling who unhesitatingly charged back into the battlefield of two Fifth-Tiers. He was so angry he almost had a heart attack... He held his forehead with one hand, murmuring to himself:
"Committing sins ah..."
