Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Erhong and Adjutant Zhang did not ask much about what Chu Ning talked about with Huo Sanniang. They believed that Chu Ning would not do anything to harm them.

"Adjutant, where are we going to pick up Master Ba now?"

Chu Ning asked Adjutant Zhang, and Adjutant Zhang looked up at the bushes in front of him.

As expected, I saw the donkey with half of its butt exposed, kicking its back.

Then he smiled and pointed to Chu Ning and Er Hong, "No need to answer it, Master Ba is already here."

Chu Ning and Er Hong followed the direction of Adjutant Zhang's finger and saw the donkey with most of its body exposed.

In the grass that was twisted and twisted by the donkey's feet, a figure was standing in a bent stance, trying hard to pull the donkey to prevent it from running away.

Chu Ning immediately laughed out loud. Well, of course he was not laughing at Qi Tiezui, but he was happy that he finally met Qi Tiezui.

"Eighth Master~" Chu Ning shouted, waving his arms.

Qi Tiezui looked up and saw three people.

Seeing Chu Ning jumping and waving towards him, Qi Tiezui's heart was struck for an instant. He finally saw the lively Chu Ning again.

He immediately waved and greeted, "Hey~ Xiao Ning, Adjutant, Second Master~ I'm...

What?!

Qi Tiezui was originally competing with the donkey, and when he greeted him, the donkey shook its neck.

Before Qi Tiezui finished his greeting, he followed the donkey's force and his two legs drew a parabola in the air.

Chu Ning and Er Hong were startled and ran over immediately, but there was someone who was faster than them, it was Adjutant Zhang.

He jumped out in an instant, took down Qi Tiezui in a few strides, and slapped the donkey in the face with his free hand.

Chu Ning: (￣▽￣)o He heard the crisp sound of the donkey's head~

Erhonghong: (~0~) He shook his head helplessly. It seems that working with Master Buddha is quite stressful.

Qi Tiezui landed steadily on the ground. Seeing Adjutant Zhang catch him, he patted his chest.

"Oh my! Fortunately, you are here, Adjutant Zhang!

Okay~ Your training with Master Buddha has not been in vain, the task of protecting me is now left to you!"

After Qi Tiezui finished speaking, he smiled and pinched the muscles of Adjutant Zhang's arm.

Adjutant Zhang's entire body tensed up, and when Qi Tiezui pinched him, the back of his neck turned red and warm.

However, the location was hidden and was not discovered by Qi Tiezui.

Chu Ning and Er Hong came over, and Qi Tiezui walked up to Chu Ning and gave him a big hug.

"I heard from Adjutant Zhang. Xiaoning, thank you for your hard work."

Qi Tiezui whispered comforting words in Chu Ning's ear. Chu Ning rested his forehead on Qi Tiezui's shoulder and heard Qi Tiezui's voice.

He was completely relaxed. The people in this world who treated him unconditionally were all here...

Chu Ning's voice was muffled, "Well, I'm awesome, right~"

Qi Tiezui's laughter came from above his head. Chu Ning, this kid, must be so "cocky" only in front of him.

Chu Ning wanted to look up, but was held back by Qi Tiezui, "Yeah! Our Xiao Ning is super super super awesome. I admire him so much~"

Chu Ning curled her lips. It sounded like the tone of someone coaxing a child, but she liked the way Qi Tiezui said it.

"Liar." Chu Ning was a little shy, like a small animal humming softly.

Maybe, just like what the Buddha said, he was "led astray" by Qi Tiezui.

"Hey, don't disbelieve me, the Second Master is here too, just ask him."

Qi Tiezui naturally didn't mind dragging Er Hong along to praise Chu Ning.

Erhong was happy to see it happen, and when he saw Chu Ning's deer-like eyes looking at him with moisture, he nodded gently.

"Mr. Ba is right. Xiao Ning is very powerful."

Er Hong paused after speaking, and added, "Super amazing."

Chu Ning smiled even more, and the uneasiness that had been hidden and suppressed in his heart for these days instantly dissipated.

He was very afraid that his arrangements would trap Master Buddha. Fortunately, Master Buddha and Sister Yue all evacuated Changsha safely.

It turns out that being trusted by everyone feels really good...

Seeing that the child's mood had recovered, Adjutant Zhang gave Erhong a look of gratitude.

Erhong shook his head slightly and looked at Qi Tiezui. There was a tacit understanding in their eyes.

In fact, Er Hong and Adjutant Zhang noticed that something was wrong with Chu Ning as early as when Chu Ning came back from talking with Huo Sanniang.

Chu Ning wanted Huo Sanniang to let him marry into her family...but Chu Ning suddenly realized that he couldn't expect that.

He is a "person" who will disappear after completing his mission.

Er Hong and Adjutant Zhang kept a close eye on Chu Ning all the way, although Chu Ning hid himself very well.

But there are two people around him who care about Chu Ning, so Chu Ning's every move and any emotional changes cannot escape their eyes.

The moment she met Qi Tiezui, Er Hong thought that perhaps only Qi Tiezui's personality could prevent Chu Ning from being trapped in that gray atmosphere.

So, the moment he met Qi Tiezui, Er Hong flipped his fingers and a small round bead popped out without making any sound.

The bead was extremely small and hit the donkey that Qi Tiezui was leading right on the neck, causing the donkey to shake its neck violently.

Qi Tiezui appears to be careless, but he is actually the most meticulous. Besides, Qi Tiezui hadn't seen Chu Ning for a long time, so he immediately realized that something was wrong.

When Adjutant Zhang hugged Qi Tiezui around the waist, he whispered something into Qi Tiezui's ear.

"Look at Xiao Ning, there's something wrong with him."

Qi Tiezui's ears were itchy, and he glared at Adjutant Zhang threateningly before comforting Chu Ning.

Adjutant Zhang was completely confused.

Chu Ning didn't notice the wit between the three people.

In other words, if it were the Chu Ning of the past, he would be able to feel the unusual flow in the air when Er Hong shot out the marbles.

But Chu Ning is really weak now. Even though he is holding up his body and mind, he can’t release his mental strength as often as before...

Seeing Chu Ning smiling happily, Qi Tiezui and Er Hong's eyes met, and both of them had smiles in their eyes.

Qi Tiezui grabbed Chu Ning and said, "By the way, do you know where Master Buddha and the others went?

Should I go find them now?"

Erhong shook his head.

Chu Ning raised his hand, "I discussed with Sister Wu Yue that if Master Buddha's condition does not improve during the journey, then our final destination will be the Northeast."

Adjutant Zhang thought for a moment and said, “Before she left, my wife told me that she would tell us where they are once they are settled.

But there has been no news in the past few days."

Qi Tiezui straightened up and looked at the three people in front of him, "So none of you know anything!"

Chu Ning rolled his eyes, pulled the scarf around Qi Tiezui's neck and shook it, "Eighth Master~ You can calculate~

In this way, let our wise Lord Ba predict this, and we will know the truth!"

Qi Tiezui immediately enjoyed it and reached behind him to search.

I don't know where he got it from, but like a magic trick, he took out a compass from his back.

Er Hong raised his eyebrows and looked at Qi Tiezui. Qi Tiezui was wearing a dark red cloud-patterned gown today and was not carrying any bag.

Adjutant Zhang was no longer surprised and was anxiously waiting for Qi Tiezui to come up with the result.

Chu Ning stared at Qi Tiezui, his mouth opened into an "O" shape. Sometimes, Mr. Ba really looked like a fat blue guy from an island country...
