Kyushu · Endless Nagato

Chapter 30
"I haven't heard from you for many years. What have you been doing all these years? Why did you suddenly jump out to stop me today?" Xu Mizi asked Feng Qiuke.

"I... actually didn't do anything, I just waited to die," Feng Qiuke said with an inexplicable sadness on his face, "However, I have a mission, which is to protect this young man in order to repay the favor. So it is my substitute He begged you for a favor, let him go."

Xu Mizi stared at Feng Qiuke as if he didn't know him, and after a while, he suddenly burst out laughing.Feng Qiuke didn't get angry, nor did he stop him, he just stood aside quietly, waiting for him to finish laughing.

After laughing, Xu Mizi shook his head, reached out and patted Feng Qiuke on the shoulder: "Although I don't know what your real purpose is, but with your personality, you will do it for a three-year-old child like 'repaying your favor'." To protect an outsider wholeheartedly through the trick, I will never believe it anyway."

Feng Qiuke's expression changed, and he didn't respond, but An Xingmian, who was in the distance, felt his heart skip a beat.He has always believed in a point of view, those life-and-death enemies who have been fighting to the death all their lives are often the people who know each other best.According to this theory, Sumeru and Feng Qiuke have fought for a lifetime, and their understanding of Feng Qiuke is obviously beyond the reach of others.If he said that Feng Qiuke would not protect someone in order to repay his favor, then this statement is probably credible.

In other words, Feng Qiuke has been lying to himself!He always talked about "repaying" and "repaying" and so on. An Xingmian didn't doubt it, but he didn't realize until now that it was just an excuse.

He couldn't help being a little confused, what exactly did Feng Qiuke want to do?It is true that he protected himself. Just now, if he hadn't intervened, he would have had to fight Sumizi in a near-suicidal manner. The chance of winning was probably less than [-]%.But there must be a motive behind him, an ulterior motive.

Is it for any benefit?An Xingmian first thought of his father and the wealth left behind by his father.But if you think about it carefully, first of all, my father is just an ordinary wealthy businessman. Looking at the whole Wanzhou, he might not even be ranked No. 30. With Feng Qiuke's skills, there are probably [-] ways to get enough money. Why stare at your own home?Secondly, he was still a child when his father died. At that time, there was no backbone in the family. Feng Qiuke really wanted to occupy the family property, and that was the best time.But instead of doing that, he helped himself manage the family business, and continued to find opportunities to teach martial arts after he entered Nagato.

Could it be that the father left some treasure that cannot be measured by money?It doesn't seem to be the case either, because his father came from an ordinary background and started his business from scratch without any prominent family background, and besides doing business, he didn't like to make friends of other kinds of religion.It can be said that Feng Qiuke is the only "unordinary" person he associates with.

Countless guesses flooded An Xingmian's mind in an instant, but none of these guesses had any evidence to prove it.At this time, the conversation between Feng Qiuke and Xu Mizi was still going on.

"All in all, you just need to promise me to let this child go, and I will definitely repay you," Feng Qiuke said, "I always keep my word, and you know that."

Xu Mizi sneered a few times: "Of course I know, but I know even more that you have fallen into my trap."

Feng Qiuke was startled, and then an angry look appeared on his face, it seemed that he understood what Xu Mizi meant.Xu Mizi looked very proud: "You and I have been used to being alone all our lives, and all previous battles have been one-on-one, without assistance or drag. But now, you are desperate to protect this little baby , I finally found your weakness."

He pointed at An Xingmian casually, as if pointing at a sheep or a pig: "So I will not let go of this opportunity to threaten you. Maybe you and I still don't have the ability to suppress each other, but I have enough The ability to kill this little baby. And you also know that I am the kind of person who will do anything to achieve my goal, as long as your protection is a little negligent, his life will be lost."

"It sounds like I'm a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered and braised in soy sauce." An Xingmian shrugged, but she wasn't angry.

"I heard that most people would feel extremely insulted if someone talked about his life and death in such a tone?" Xue Huaiqing asked.

"Generally speaking, that's the case, but I'm a monk who is good at stopping anger," An Xingmian said, "What's more, what's the use of being angry? Why don't you save your energy and think about it, if Xu Mizi really comes How should I deal with chasing me?"

"I don't think you're nervous about it." Xue Huaiqing glanced at him.

An Xingmian smiled confidently: "I may not be able to defeat Sumeru, but he can't kill me that easily either."

"Let's see how that Mr. Feng is going to answer." Xue Huaiqing said.

The two stopped talking, and both quietly listened to the conversation between Xu Mizi and Feng Qiuke.Feng Qiuke's face was livid, and he looked extremely annoyed, but he kept silent, as if he was considering how to respond.He had been fighting with Xumizi for decades, but he didn't expect to be caught by Xumizi at this moment, and he was quite aggrieved thinking about it.

How would he respond?An Xingmian thought, probably he would spit on the ground, and then resolutely express his determination to never compromise, right?That's the choice that this feathered master with eyes above the top should make.But An Xingmian did not expect that Feng Qiuke finally gave an astonishing answer.

"Okay, you win, I promise you," Feng Qiuke said every word seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, "If I die earlier than you, and my body is not too rotten , I will give the body to you, and let you make it into a corpse servant. I will promise to do my best to protect this body during my lifetime, and will not deliberately do anything to prevent it from becoming a walking corpse."

An Xingmian and Xue Huaiqing looked at each other, Xue Huaiqing looked surprised, but An Xingmian's emotions were more complicated.Xue Huaiqing might not understand what the Yu clan should be like, but An Xingmian, as a head monk, has a wealth of knowledge.The Yu clan is a race that regards itself as noble, and the handling of the remains is also very solemn.For example, some servants who serve a large family may have been ordered and discriminated against all their lives, but they still have the right to a tomb specially set up for the family servants after death, and no one has the right to deprive them of that. .

A warrior like Feng Qiuke may have a slightly weaker concept in this regard, but he would never be willing to be unable to sleep peacefully after death, and become a corpse servant to be driven by Sumeru.The two have been fighting for half their lives, and perhaps one of them is the reason why Xu Mizi coveted Feng Qiuke's body, although it is a bit awkward to say so.

But now, just because of Xu Mizi's threat to take An Xingmian's life—he may not be able to get it yet—he actually agreed to donate his body, so that the old enemy could get a powerful corpse servant that his old enemy had dreamed of.This kind of sacrifice is huge, so huge that it really makes people doubt: what is so important about An Xingmian?

"Am I made of gold?" An Xingmian patted the top of her head teasingly.

"Nothing made of gold would cost him such a big price." Xue Huaiqing frowned, and was also lost in thought.

At this time, Xu Mizi was already very happy, and it seemed that he wished that Feng Qiuke could commit suicide on the spot, and then he made the corpse into a corpse servant on the spot.However, he quickly restrained his emotions and patted Feng Qiuke on the shoulder: "It's a deal, you know I will never break my promise. As long as this kid doesn't do anything to offend me, I promise Don't kill him, and I will give you a lottery."

"You are going to tell the truth what he wants to ask, right?" Feng Qiuke said.

"You really are my confidant!" Xumizi laughed loudly, "You must not be killed by other people, you must keep it for me to kill you."

"Do your best," Feng Qiuke said flatly, "but please give me a little time first, let me chat with him first, okay?"

Xu Mizi made a gesture of asking for permission.The relationship between these two rivals seems really subtle. When Feng Qiuke shot an arrow at Xumizi, he was merciless, as if he was determined to kill him on the spot, but when he didn't do anything, it was more like a pair of intersecting couples. An old friend for many years.Perhaps for Xu Mizi, only those who are worthy of being his enemies are worthy of being his friends.

Feng Qiuke left Xu Mizi, walked towards An Xingmian, and made a "follow me" gesture to him.An Xingmian smiled wryly, winked at Xue Huaiqing, and followed Feng Qiuke a few feet away before Feng Qiuke stopped.

"Last time you used tricks to escape, I didn't expect you to get worse and get into this kind of place," Feng Qiuke said angrily, "What kind of people are the corpse dancers? Even if you don't I know, I should have heard the rumors. What's more, your target is Su Mizi, and you are simply impatient. If I hadn't come..."

"Actually, if you don't come, I can help." An Xingmian muttered.

Feng Qiuke snorted: "What can you do? Play dead and then sneak attack? This move may work against other corpse dancers, but if you want to use it on Xu Mizi, it is simply a meat bun beating a dog. Of course, you A person may not be unable to find a way to escape, as far as escaping is concerned, I have a little confidence in you, but you still have to remember that beautiful chick, and if you are lustful, you will even lose your life."

An Xingmian groaned: "Even if she is an unattractive chick or a frighteningly ugly chick, I can't leave her alone, because the person who taught me Kung Fu is a loyal son who wants to protect his benefactor. I should be as loyal as him. Don’t you think so?”

He deliberately bit the word "loyalty" very hard, and kept staring at Feng Qiuke's eyes when he spoke, and when he said the last sentence, his tone was even higher, implying sarcasm.Feng Qiuke's face darkened, as if he was about to explode, but in the end, he just sighed.

"This old bastard, Xu Mizi, is really venomous," Feng Qiuke shook his head, "But I knew that you would be suspicious when you heard what he said, and I can no longer hide it from you. Indeed, I told you before that I have been protecting you in order to repay your father's great kindness. That is a lie. I protect you for other reasons, sorry I can't say. But at least you have to believe that I am If there is no malice, it will never protect you in order to fatten you up and then kill and eat you."

"Don't worry, I absolutely believe this, because you people don't eat meat," An Xingmian still had a smile on his face, "but I still have to say, doing this makes me very unhappy. Being protected by someone without even a reason.”

"I won't say it, of course there are difficulties I can't say," Feng Qiuke said earnestly, "If you think I'm untrustworthy because of this, I can never show up by your side again, but if you are in danger, I will It will still appear."
