About two minutes later.

Wu Ling snuggled under her older brother's arm, watching the back of Hei Xunzi disappear into the distance. Then she looked at her older brother's innocent and guileless expression, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Big brother, you've gone bad. You're not the innocent boy you used to be anymore. In the blink of an eye, you've become full of mischief."

"You little rascal, sometimes I really consider signing you up for a language improvement course."

Wu Xie ran towards the cave entrance while talking and pulling Wu Ling along.

Zhang Qiling stood behind the two, his body tense, his hand tightly gripping the black and gold ancient sword. The moment any hair flew toward them, he could instantly cut it off.

Perhaps the nun knew this person's abilities, and for a moment, not a single hair on the three people's bodies was visible.

But there is always an exception. In the channel, a certain nun's brain is perhaps not yet fully developed.

It didn't know what it was thinking, darting straight out of the passage and charging toward the three people recklessly.

Wu Ling saw this scene and didn't wait for Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie to make a move.

He thought of how he had almost been tied up like a Chinese knot just now. Adding old grudges to new ones, he picked up a brick from beside him, weighed it in his hand, and muttered to himself:

"Come on, little sweetheart. People say you get what you give out. Though your heart isn't so great, your looks could use some work. This old master will give you a free makeover! Think of it as doing a good deed for the day!"

Wu Xie hearing this, slightly retracted the dagger in his hand.

Zhang Qiling's long sword also clenched in his hand.

With a deafening crash, the brick shattered.

The witch was struck and stumbled back several steps, only to have her neck pierced by a bullet in the next moment.

Wu glanced back at Heixiazi, who was holding a small box in his hand. She smirked and said, “Black Lord, you're returning with a full load? Pretty fast, huh?”

Hei Xiazi grinned: "Little Third Master, you've been kind enough to give me a heads-up. How could Hei Ye disappoint your expectations and return empty-handed?"

As his voice faded away.

Their hair stood on end as if they had discovered something precious stolen, and the passage echoed with several shrieks of outrage.

Countless strands of hair were attacking everyone like they were possessed.

At this moment, they no longer cared about the fearsome long knife in Zhang Qiling's hand or the black pistol in Hei Xiazi's hand.

A torrent of black hair surged forward, as if it were going to trap everyone here.

"Third Master!" Panzi saw the situation and looked anxious.

Just before jumping into Hei Xazi, he also wanted to jump in together.

But if nobody responds up there, I don't know what will happen next.

He remained on top to greet the crowd.

However, because the hole was so small and dark inside, Panzi could hardly see what was happening.

Only when Wu Xie and the others got within five meters of the cave entrance did he see their figures.

Panzi felt a wave of relief wash over him, and quickly reached down with his arms, shouting out, "Little Third Master, you guys come up quickly, I'll pull you up!"

However, that was all it took.

In that passage, there were seven or eight female guards with long nails, dancing wildly and swarming towards the few of them.

"Whoa, so many? Dude, did we just poke the hornet's nest?"

Wu Ling held a small brick in her arms, and upon seeing this scene, her expression was one of surprise.

He looked at the little brick in his arms, then at the seven or eight forbidden nuns in front of him, a little silent.

Suddenly, I feel like our forces are a little weak. What's going on?

No, when I have time I absolutely must get a decent weapon. Otherwise, fighting would be too disadvantageous.

Thinking and thinking, Wu Ling's gaze involuntarily fell on the long sword in Zhang Qiling's hand.

He looked at the length of the long sword, then at the length of his own arm, and fell silent for two seconds.

Wu Ling again cast her gaze upon the dagger in her older brother's hand, pondered for a while, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Okay, after we get out, I'll ask Tong Ge to make me a small weapon!

I wonder what would be more convenient to hold? A dagger? A short staff? Or perhaps a shortsword?

While Wu Ling was fantasizing about her own little weapon, the black bear beside her rushed over and shot a forbidden woman with one bullet.

He looked at these courtesans, a sly smile playing on his lips.

"Wow, you're really persistent! You guys are even more determined than ancient girls choosing their husbands. If someone didn't know any better, they'd think one of us was your ideal match."

Wu Ling, upon hearing this, became somewhat curious. He tilted his head and looked at the black bear behind him, focusing on something peculiar as he asked:

"Would ancient government offices still be involved in contracting marriages and weddings?"

The black bear peered at the child, pushing his face glasses up with a hand. His voice held a hint of playful nonchalance:

"Yes."

He aimed his gun at the group of women eyeing them with hostility, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"Look at how energetic these girls are, they might have their eyes on one of us."

"I just don't know if this younger sister is interested, and if my older brother has feelings."

Having said that, Heihua's gaze lingered meaningfully on Zhang Qiling beside him, a sly smile playing at the corner of his lips.

Zhang Qiling noticed the black bear's gaze and frowned, giving it a cold glance.

As the saying goes, people with unsound minds are easily led astray by others who are also unsound.

After hearing Hei Xiezhi's words, Wu Ling pondered for a moment and found it very reasonable.

He looked around and fixed his gaze on what he considered his most handsome face.

Wu glanced at the banshee before him, then at the cave entrance a few steps ahead.

Just as he was about to pull Wu Ling away, he suddenly felt a sneaky little paw on his face.

"Huh?"

He lowered his head slightly and saw his younger brother's expression was a little complicated as he looked at him. He couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Wu Xie thought Wu Ling's expression was a little strange, because she was afraid of the banshee in front.

"Dude, I'm feeling like the first time I think you're too handsome is actually a bad thing."

"You're saying if these things take a liking to us, we'd be caught in a tug-of-war, with him running and her chasing, leaving us all with nowhere to escape?"

Wu Xie: "..."

"Poof!"

The black bear, hearing the conversation between the two brothers, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He looked at the child in front of Wu Xiashen with a strange expression, his eyes filled with amusement.

He was just teasing Zhang Qiling, but he didn't expect this kid to have such a fun way of thinking.

Wu Xie was choked by Wu Ling's words, almost spitting blood.

But looking at his younger brother's innocent expression, he couldn't say a word.

Just then, the black bear let out a chuckle. Wu Xie found an outlet for his frustration and quickly shifted his focus.

He looked at the black bear and smiled wryly, not having anything good to say.

"Looking at Hei Ye's smile, he seems to be in a good mood."

"Could it be that you've taken a liking to one of the ladies here? Would you like me to introduce you?"

After he finished speaking, there was no unusual expression on Hei Xiazi's face.

But Wu Ling beside him stared with wide, round eyes at Wu Xie and Hei Xiazi.

In his understanding, his older brother was Black Master's disciple.

But looking at how they get along, it doesn't seem like master and apprentice at the moment.

It's like I've met this person a few times, they seem familiar, but I don't really know them.

Couldn't these two people have become master and apprentice yet?

Or are these two characters not as intertwined in the original work as they appear to be?

Just as Wu Ling was in a mental storm, those banshees roared and quickly charged at the crowd.

The black bear retreated to dodge an attack from the banshee, and then kicked her flying with one foot.

Even in the midst of a fight, he still took the time to look back at Wu Xie, letting out a wicked smile and saying:

"I appreciate the offer, but I'm used to being alone. You're only in your twenties, Master Third, a time when desires run wild and sparks fly. Why not just go with the flow for now? For old times' sake, I can give you a little gift."

Although Heixiazi was teasing Wu Xie, he didn't stop working.

He and Zhang Qiling stood before the Wu brothers, like a solid wall, stopping those nuns from getting closer than five steps.

Chang Qiling slashed down with his blade, cutting the banshee who had clambered onto the ceiling. He turned to the two people behind him and said, "Wu Xie, get up there quickly."

Wu kicked aside a demoness who was crawling over, peered up at the hole above, and knew that now was not the time to be humble.

He grabbed the man beside him who was smashing the confinement woman with bricks and, with a burst of speed, ran towards the opening.

Wu Ling was pulled with a stumble, but the plank brick in her hand was still extremely steady and accurate. It smashed onto the Madam's head, directly causing it to explode.

Wu Ling looked at this scene and silently gave herself a thumbs up in her heart.

Hey hey, I'm so good at this! From now on, I won't be afraid to throw garbage outside the trash can anymore, every throw is accurate!

Wu Ling's brick throws weren't random. Each one was aimed at a person's most vulnerable joint.

These banshees, while somewhat inhuman in appearance, have a body structure very similar to that of humans.

When bricks hit their joints, it wasn't lethal, but it effectively slowed them down.

He did this, not only Wu Xie who was closest to him saw it, but Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi beside him also saw it.

Wu Ling was chattering away to himself in his head, but he didn't know that his actions were not only seen by Wu Xie who was closest to him, but also by Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi beside him.

Wu's oblique gaze flickered, his once innocent nature having been altered over the years of hardship he had endured.

Seeing this scene, his thoughts raced uncontrollably in his mind.

But the next second, he concealed his emotions and ran forward to protect Wu Ling.

Wu Xie knew his younger brother had a secret, and it might even be a big one. However, he didn't want to know about it.

Because this secret was covered up by my younger brother as much as possible.

Wu Ling won't say what he doesn't want to, no one can force him, not anyone, not even himself.

As long as Wu Ling is well and healthy by his side, Wu Xie can ask for nothing more.

Just like Wu Ling didn't ask him why he had to eat several kinds of vitamins every day.

Both brothers knew each other had a little secret, but neither of them exposed it nor asked about it.

Some things don't need to be said too much, when the time is ripe, you will understand.

The hole blasted out by the black bear was not far from the two of them.

Wu Xie was tall and had long legs. He clamped Wu Ling's arm, his long legs taking three steps in two. In a short while, he ran to the mouth of the cave.

As the two people ran up to him, Panzi reached out his hand towards those below.

But those few nuns perhaps saw that the crowd wanted to escape through this hole, so they swarmed here, wanting to block it off.

Panzi, forced by circumstance, could only retract his arm, holding the gun and facing off against these forbidden women.

Accompanied by several gunshots.

Several of the banshees fell with a thud, but one particularly cunning banshee held another's body like a shield, dangling precariously from the ceiling like a spider.

Wu Xie looked up at the forbidden mistress above him. The dagger in his hand shot out instantly, pinning her to the ceiling in an instant.

Then he stepped on the wall beside him, kicking the witch down and onto the empty ground next to him.

Wu Xie, after falling down, quickly addressed Wu Ling behind him:

"Xiao Ling, hurry, go up first."

Wu Ling knew she couldn't help downstairs and might even disrupt her older brother's rhythm, so she didn't refuse.

The hole in the top was very narrow, but with Wu Ling's slender frame -- she looked like a skeleton when she took off her clothes -- she could slip right through it.

However, the entrance to this cave is rather high, at least four meters off the ground.

Wu Ling gauged the distance, took a step back, and was just about to jump up.

Suddenly, the next second.

Before his eyes appeared a hand, incredibly broad, with distinct knuckles and calloused palms.

After Panzi dealt with all the cameras around the entrance, he hurriedly looked down.

Before, he had only seen Wu Ling, but because the cave was too dim, he didn't see her body condition.

At this moment, Pan Zi saw the bloodstains on Wu Ling's body, and his face was instantly covered with deep worry. The smile he had been wearing instantly vanished, replaced by a look of intense concern.

He regretted in his heart that he hadn't gone down with Blackie at first.

If he went down with the Black Master, he would definitely protect the young master and the third master, and wouldn't let them get hurt.

Panzi concealed the emotions of self-blame and frustration in her heart, stretching her hand down below.

"Little Master, come on, I'll pull you up."

Wu Ling looked at the pair of hands before her, her eyes flickering. A fragment of memory suddenly popped into her mind.

It seems like when I was little, my older brother went to school and I was home alone at our ancestral house, playing tag with butterflies with a few dogs.

But when catching butterflies, I accidentally fell into the well behind me. Luckily, the well wasn't deep, but I was very scared at the time.

Just when I was crying my face full of snot bubbles, it seemed like there were these hands reaching out in front of me.

The same words echoed in his ears: "Little Master, come on, I'll pull you up."
