Zhou Zilong lowered his head and fell silent.
Although he really wanted Xiang Guqing and his gang to let Zhang Shuyue go, the brothers and sisters at Lintian Peak were equally important. This was a dilemma.
Xiang Guqing knew that Zhou Zilong would not agree to her so quickly, so she gave him another dose of strong medicine and said slowly: "This little brother, you have to think clearly. We don't have much patience. If you If you don't agree, we will cut off Zhang Shuyue's flesh piece by piece in front of you, and let her die of torture. What about, what is your choice? Do you want to watch the beauty die, or cooperate with us? How about luring those fellow disciples from Lintian Peak over here?"
Zhou Zilong gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and a series of twisted and struggling expressions appeared on his face.
Xiang Guqing watched the expression changes on Zhou Zilong's face with satisfaction, and she was filled with contempt and disdain for Zhou Zilong in her heart - look, men are like this, no matter how affectionate they are on the surface, what's the use? When something happens, he will still sway back and forth.
However, Xiang Guqing was 90% sure about Zhou Zilong's compromise, but she didn't believe that Zhou Zilong was willing to watch Zhang Shuyue suffer to death.
After the expression on Zhou Zilong's face changed for a while, he finally regained his composure.
He raised his head, revealing his face that was slightly embarrassed due to pain, but the look in his eyes became firm, as if he had made up his mind.
As for what this "determination" is, Xiang Guqing can't tell.
"Let me see Miss Zhang first. After I make sure she is fine, I will talk to you in detail." Zhou Zilong said calmly to Gu Qing. Xiang Guqing smiled triumphantly and said, "Very good. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. You are indeed a love madman."
However, whether the word "love" comes out of Xiang Guqing's mouth is a compliment or a disparagement, only she knows.
Xiang Guqing said to the two male disciples of Heng Yue Sect beside her: "You two, go over there and help this little brother. It looks like he can't stand up on his own."
The two male disciples of the Heng Yue Sect knew that this woman was as powerful as Elder Dai, so they did not dare to neglect her. They jogged to Zhou Zilong's side, squatted down, and helped him up.
Xiang Guqing turned around and walked in front of them, winking at one of his disciples where Zhou Zilong couldn't see him.
The disciple nodded clearly and left quietly.
She went to find Zhang Shuyue - in order not to get involved, after catching Zhou Zilong this time, Zhang Shuyue hid in other places and did not show up, so she did not know what happened this time.
As the saying goes, "It's all about putting on a show." Since Zhou Zilong wanted to take a look at the "caught" Zhang Shuyue, they had to prepare in advance and not let Zhou Zilong see any clues.
On the other side, after Zhang Shuyue heard about Xiang Guqing's plan, she complained with a bit of resentment: "I still have to deal with that idiot. I am bored to death every time I face that man."
"Junior sister, just be patient. Don't you really want Master to catch Ye Xiuwen and Jun Xiaomo for revenge? The success or failure of this time depends on this, as long as you can coax that fool to do everything for you. , it is difficult for Ye Xiuwen and Jun Xiaomo not to be fooled. They value the lives of people like Lintian Peak the most, otherwise they would not risk their lives and go to the Xuyang Sect to save people." They went to tell Zhang Shuyue about this. The female disciple said.
"Oh, okay, okay, Senior Sister Shuo, I understand. Anyway, it's just pretending to be pitiful. It's not a difficult matter. I will know how to control it." Zhang Shuyue said a little impatiently.
If she could, she would really rather torture Zhou Zilong until he agreed to lure Ye Xiuwen and the others out.
The footsteps and conversations of Xiang Guqing and the others gradually approached here. Zhang Shuyue and the female cultivator next to her looked at each other and nodded to each other.
The female cultivator walked outside the room, while Zhang Shuyue pretended to be weak and lay on the ground.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Zhang Shuyue thought for a moment and tore her clothes into pieces, making her look even more embarrassed.
"Is that woman still inside?" Xiang Guqing asked the disciple standing at the door, saying words that only the two of them could understand.
The implication was that Xiang Guqing wanted to ask the female disciple if Zhang Shuyue was inside and if she was ready.
"Don't worry, Master, I'm always inside." The female disciple replied respectfully and nodded to Gu Qing with satisfaction.
Xiang Guqing opened the door and strode in. When she saw Zhang Shuyue lying "weakly" on the ground, a gleam flashed in her eyes.
"How is it, have you seen someone?" Xiang Guqing turned back and asked Zhou Zilong, who was standing behind her and being supported by two disciples of the Hengyue Sect, "Now that we have seen someone, can we start to lure you guys in?" Are the other disciples from Lintian Peak coming out?"
Zhou Zilong glanced at Xiang Guqing and said, "You guys go out first. I want to say a few words to Miss Zhang. After that, I will talk to you in detail."
Disgust and anger flashed across Xiang Guqing's face, but she still suppressed the urge to throw moves at Zhou Zilong, gestured to the others, and said, "Get out."
After others went out one after another, Xiang Guqing also followed. Before closing the door, she threatened Zhou Zilong: "You'd better finish the conversation quickly. We don't have much patience."
Zhou Zilong said "hmm" and waited until Xiang Guqing walked out and closed the door. He endured the pain in his body and walked to Zhang Shuyue's side. He suddenly fell down and struggled for a while before using his body to move to Zhang Shuyue's side. Next to him, he supported her and asked: "Miss Zhang, are you okay? What did they do to you?"
Zhang Shuyue had been "weakly" observing Zhou Zilong's movements. Feeling Zhou Zilong's hands holding her shoulders, a feeling of contempt and disgust arose in her heart.
She was not moved at all by the fact that Zhou Zilong came back to find her. Instead, she felt that Zhou Zilong, who had been bullied around, was an idiot.
And now, she had to continue to deal with this idiot.
"Brother Zhou." Zhang Shuyue called Zhou Zilong "weakly" and said with red eyes, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so seriously injured. I wish you didn't come back to me."
Zhang Shuyue's "fragility" touched the softest part of Zhou Zilong's heart. He said to Zhang Shuyue: "It doesn't matter. I will regret it if I don't come back. I... I don't want you, Miss Zhang, to be in any danger."
Zhang Shuyue felt proud in her heart, and she made an even more moved expression on her face, saying, "Thank you, Brother Zhou, I... I'm really useless... woo woo hoo..."
Zhang Shuyue covered her face and pretended to be heartbroken, but in fact she was hiding the fact that there were no tears in her eyes.
"Don't... don't say that, Miss Zhang, you have done a good job." Zhou Zilong hurriedly comforted, holding Zhang Shuyue's shoulder and patting her carefully, "You didn't tell them our whereabouts."
Zhang Shuyue tried her best to squeeze out some tears, raised her head, looked at Zhou Zilong and asked: "Brother Zhou, I seemed to have heard your conversation with those people just now. Is there any way you can let us out?"
Zhou Zilong hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "There is a way, but it doesn't say it's absolutely safe."
Zhang Shuyue felt happy and thought, it’s done! He quickly continued: "Then what can Brother Zhou do?"
"They asked me to lure the brothers from Lintian Peak out. If so, they will agree to let you go." Zhou Zilong said to Zhang Shuyue.
Zhang Shuyue pretended to whisper, frowning and said: "How is this possible?! Brother Zhou, please don't do this. Wouldn't it put your brothers and sisters in danger?"
Zhang Shuyue originally just wanted to show her tolerance and kindness, so she said this to Zhou Zilong. Unexpectedly, Zhou Zilong nodded in agreement and said to Zhang Shuyue:
"Miss Zhang is right, I had no intention of luring the brothers from Lintian Peak out."
Zhang Shuyue was choked by Zhou Zilong's words, and her eyes suddenly widened. She almost couldn't hide the roar in her heart - didn't you say "there is a way"! Why have you rejected this method now? Do you still want to save me? !
Zhou Zilong didn't notice the strange look on Zhang Shuyue's expression and continued: "Miss Zhang, I'm sorry. I know you sacrificed a lot for us and kept the secrets of our Lintian Peak. However, the brothers and sisters of Lintian Peak don't care about me. Said, like a relative. I can die, but I can't push them into despair with my own hands. Therefore, although Xiang Guqing made this request to me, I planned to refuse it from the beginning. .”
Zhou Zilong lowered his head because of guilt, and did not see Zhang Shuyue's increasingly distorted expression.
-Since you have no intention of agreeing to Master's proposal, why did you come to see me? ! What a waste of our time! ! !
After Zhou Zilong said these words with guilt, he took out a puppet talisman and an invisibility talisman from the storage ring, and said to Zhang Shuyue: "Miss Zhang, this invisibility talisman and this puppet talisman are both Junior sister Xiaomo gave it to me. I didn't use it when I came here, just to save it for you. You first use this puppet charm to make a person who looks exactly like you, put it on the ground, and then put it on your body. Put an invisibility charm on it, and when I open the door and walk out, you can take the opportunity to sneak out, so they can't catch you, and they will think you are still in this room."
Zhang Shuyue stared at the two talismans with an uncertain expression on her face.
Puppet talisman... Invisibility talisman... Could it be that tonight, they were set up by these two talismans? ! hateful! Jun, Xiao, Mo, it was indeed your idea!
"Miss Zhang?" Zhou Zilong urged again when he saw Zhang Shuyue didn't respond to him.
Zhang Shuyue came to her senses, raised her head, glanced at Zhou Zilong, took the two talismans in his hand, lowered her head again, and said expressionlessly: "Thank you, Brother Zhou."
Zhou Zilong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled naively. He took a breath despite the pain, but still grinned and said, "You're welcome. Miss Zhang, I'll be relieved if you can get out safely."
Zhang Shuyue curled her lips, put away the two talismans, and suddenly took out a spiritual sword from the storage ring, and penetrated Zhou Zilong's chest with one sword.
Zhou Zilong's eyes widened, his silly smile froze on his face, and gurgling blood flowed out of his chest.
"Miss Zhang, you..."
"Ignorant idiot! Why don't you just obediently lead Ye Xiuwen and the others out? You have to push yourself to death." Zhang Shuyue said coldly, stood up, and looked at Zhou Zilong condescendingly, with a flash in his eyes. With a trace of ridicule and joy, "Since you are about to die, let me tell you that I am Xiang Guqing's disciple. Do you think I will kindly help you hide the news about the disciples of Lintian Peak? From the beginning, You are tantamount to betraying Lintian Peak and pushing your brothers to a dead end, hahahahahaha... "
Zhou Zilong's throat roared hoarsely a few times, and he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
How can Zhang Shuyue look as weak and harmless as before
Wrong, it turned out to be wrong from the beginning... Junior Sister Xiaomo was right, Zhang Shuyue was not a good person... But, he realized it too late.
Fortunately, fortunately, in the end, he did not betray his brothers at Lintian Peak for this woman.
After these words flashed through Zhou Zilong's mind, his vision went dark and he completely fell into the endless abyss.
Zhang Shuyue suddenly pulled out the sword and shook off the blood on the sword in disgust.
"Oh, there are many people willing to sacrifice for me, including you. You deserved to die." Zhang Shuyue sneered and walked out, leaving Zhou Zilong's body alone in the room.
If Jun Xiaomo were here, she would find that this scene was very similar to the previous life, except that the person who died in the previous life was Ye Xiuwen...
