Fang Che said with a smile: "Don't scare me. I'm timid. If I get scared by you, it will be troublesome."
The old man stared and was speechless.
Thinking of Ningxue Sword's warning to him, he couldn't help but turn into a deflated ball.
Labor and management really can’t be offended.
All the momentum dissipated.
Then he started to ask weakly: "Why do you insist on having a drink with me, you murderer?"
"Because I like you. I like you very much." Fang Che said.
"Get lost!"
The old man was furious: "If you keep saying things like this, do you believe I will throw you out? Stop being so playful with labor and management!"
Fang Che hurriedly apologized and said, "I was wrong. How does this wine sound? And this dish, and this... take a look."
I patted open the mud seal, and suddenly a smell of wine curled out.
The old man's throat growled.
His tone softened and he sighed: "I don't understand how someone like you can appear in the guardian queue."
"What's wrong with a guy like me?" Fang Che smiled and picked up the wine jar to pour some wine.
"It's so shameless, so unreasonable, so... ew!"
After drinking a glass of wine, not a drop was left. The old man let out a sigh of satisfaction: "This is called wine. What the hell are those so-called spiritual wines called wine?!"
Fang Che also picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "Don't you think that among the guardians and guardians, what is lacking is people like me?"
"As you said, I can be shameless and unreasonable, but I have a bottom line in my heart. That's enough."
"For example, those other people you mentioned, if they came to you today, they would probably come back ten thousand times without success. But I can sit down with you, drink and chat, thus achieving my goal.
"
"Although you are not very willing, we are drinking and chatting together after all. I can fight for this opportunity, but they cannot."
The old man rolled his eyes and sighed helplessly.
Seems very melancholy.
Fang Che's behavior indeed made him very sad.
But there was nothing we could do.
As Fang Che said, if Fang Che wasn't so persistent, even if Master Jiu had asked him what he needed to do, he could have ignored it.
I'm not your guardian.
If your people can't impress me, do I still have to go up and catch up? That doesn't make sense, does it?
But Fang Che...
Hey, I feel depressed just thinking about this name.
The old man pulled off a chicken leg, put it in his mouth, and took a big bite with the bone attached.
His eyes looked at Fang Che with evil intentions, as if he was chewing Fang Che's bones.
The two started drinking, but no one spoke. They drank one glass at a time in silence, just like a drinking competition.
Not long after, the dishes Fang Che brought were in a mess.
Most of it went into the old man's stomach.
"Did you just buy these?" the old man asked dissatisfied.
So Fang Che took it out again... everything was delicious and delicious, and the table was set up again in an instant.
The old man was overjoyed and started using chopsticks again.
After taking a few bites, he sighed with satisfaction and said, "This is what life is! This is life!"
Fang Che chuckled and continued to accompany him in silence.
The old man took a few bites and started to look askance at him. This kid had tried so hard to follow him here, but he didn't even say a word?
"Why don't you speak? If you don't speak, you will have no chance." the old man warned.
"fine."
Fang Che said with a smile: "I also know about the store, and I also know about the home. There will be many opportunities in the future."
The old man suddenly felt that the Two Hundred Years Iron-Blooded Platform was no longer good.
It is difficult to swallow food.
After staring for a long time without catching his breath, he broke down and said, "How many more times do you plan to come here before asking me anything?"
Fang Che said: "If the senior wants to say something now, the junior will naturally be all ears."
The old man said desperately: "I have been manipulated by your kid. If you have anything to do, just ask."
Finally the old guy was pushed to the bottom line.
Fang Che felt happy: "Senior, what's your surname?"
"Sikong Dou!"
"I have admired his great name for a long time, and it is like thunder piercing my ears; if I see him today, I will be blessed for the rest of my life."
The old man rolled up his white eyes and could no longer see where the black eyes were. As soon as he heard what this bastard said, he knew that he had never heard of his name.
But when you think about it, it’s quite normal. I have been retreating to Donghuzhou for more than two thousand years. How can such a young boy know nothing about it?
I feel very unhappy and feel that I have been looked down upon.
Sikong Dou snorted unhappily: "More than two thousand years ago, I was known as the number one thief in the mainland!"
"Disrespect, disrespect."
Fang Che said: "Can a god thief actually use the word 'reputed'?"
"Let's go!"
"Then I'll come back tomorrow!"
"..."
Fang Che smiled: "You're kidding, I'm really envious of you, and I admire you very much. You live a free and unrestrained life, do whatever you want, hide in the city, and look at the whole world, no one can match you. In a single field, you are number one throughout the ages!"
"You may not know."
Fang Che sighed and said: "My greatest hope is that after many years, I can let go of everything and be able to be like you, unscrupulous, carefree, and do as I please, but no one knows that I can live like this."
"This is my greatest hope in life!"
What Fang Che said was extremely sincere.
Even people who hate him extremely can hear the sincerity in these words.
He is really envious!
Sikong Dou could naturally feel Fang Che's sincerity and couldn't help but remain silent for a moment and said: "You are so young, but you actually have such thoughts..."
"The life is too tiring, the burden is too much, the burden is too heavy, the road ahead is too far, but I am too young... I can't see the front, and I can't catch up behind..."
Fang Che smiled bitterly, picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp: "Senior, are these... enough?"
"Enough! That's enough!"
Sikongdou couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Life is helpless."
"So, in my opinion, what seniors are doing is not even making a profit, but just playing games with life. In other words, you are actually playing every day. You can play as you please without any scruples."
Fang Che said: "That's why I envy you the most."
Sikong Dou finally squinted his eyes and smiled: "You're not bad."
He finally praised.
Because only Fang Che saw that he was playing.
Even Ning Xuejian thought he was a psychopath: he stole it and sold it, sold it, stole it back and resold it, and it only cost a few dollars in total. What else could it be if it wasn't a mental illness?
But how does he know my loneliness and my happiness!
Do you really think that labor and management are just for that little money? You may have underestimated the value of the number one thief in mainland China!
I am as rich as my country!
"Then you know that although I am doing this in a cool and unrestrained way, I have no choice but to accept my fate?"
Sikong Dou asked.
"Of course I understand, because since ancient times, great thieves have not been able to reach the pinnacle of martial arts due to talent limitations."
Fang Che smiled and said: "If you want to be number one in the mainland in a certain aspect, you must give up other aspects."
"Although it's not enough, it's enough."
Sikong Dou sighed.
He picked up his wine glass and drank, his voice sighing: "If Love Killing Sword and Ningxue Sword have a chance to become the number one thief in the mainland, they will give up without hesitation. Because this is a road that can see the end, and martial arts is a road with no end.
The end of the road."
"Yes." Fang Che agreed and said, "But there are also reasons for talent. Being able to become the number one thief in the mainland must be due to talent. And with such talent, from birth, one is destined not to become the pinnacle of martial arts."
"Hahaha……"
Sikongdou laughed: "It makes sense, it makes sense if it's too special!"
Then he said: "Let's get down to business. Aren't you tired from going around in circles?"
tired?
Fang Che was already exhausted.
Facing such an old fox, one should not be too naughty when trying to offend him, one should not offend him too much, one should not provoke him too much, and one should always be cautious in everything. Fang Che himself felt that he could hardly continue the conversation.
"How do you know, senior, that I am here for business?"
Fang Che asked.
"Haha... you are in contact with the above. They have told you my identity a long time ago and know everything about my actions. Now that you are here, if everything is fine, are you here to entertain me?"
Sikong Dou said unceremoniously.
He has always been worried about the fact that he was actually caught by Ningxue Sword.
Fang Che couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart. Because the way he found this old guy was not at all what he said.
But he did not intend to eliminate Sikongdou's misunderstanding.
Sikong Dou was very unhappy and said: "You said you won't be able to use me for three to five years...liar! Guardians are all liars! Your ninth master is also the biggest liar!"
He was thinking with anger on his face.
Fang Che just had free time to drink.
After a while, the old man stopped moving, and Fang Checai said softly: "I want to see the Night Emperor."
Sikong Dou stiffened for a moment and said, "I don't know this person."
"No, you know. And you are the only person he trusts." Fang Che said.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Sikong Dou said coldly.
"The Night Emperor will not live long. Maybe he was once very powerful, but now he is close to death."
Fang Che ignored Sikong Dou's denial and just said to himself: "In the underground world, I fought with him and he was still much stronger than me. However, with the ability of the Night Emperor, even if he sprays me to death with one breath, he is the best."
It should be."
"Based on the poison he was poisoned, this level of cultivation is no longer enough to suppress the poison."
Fang Che said calmly: "But I can save him. At least I can try!"
Sikong Dou frowned and thought about it, and said, "How come you can tell me that I know the Night Emperor and that the Night Emperor trusts me in such a ridiculous decision?"
"I don't know what happened back then, and I don't know anything about the past of my seniors."
Fang Che said: "But I know that the Night Emperor's accident happened two thousand years ago. But if my guess is correct, it was also two thousand years ago that the senior left the world. You have been living in seclusion in Donghuzhou so far.
Two thousand years!”
Sikongdou said angrily: "You still keep saying that the people above you didn't tell you anything! You even know the exact age, and you keep making guesses."
Fang Che still did not refute, saying: "Senior's methods used to be unknowable, and you have been the best in the world for so many years undefeated. Firstly, your methods are superb, and secondly, you know what you are doing and never move what you shouldn't.
Things, and never mess with anyone you can’t afford.”
"So, senior is safe and sound."
"In this case, there must be a reason why the number one thief in the continent willingly lived in seclusion in East Lake Continent for two thousand years during his peak period without being forced to pursue him by powerful enemies."
Sikong bean noodles are like sinking water.
"And since the time is so coincidental, I boldly guess that it is for the Night Emperor."
"There are not many forces in the entire world that can help the Night Emperor stabilize his injuries. The Guardians, the Solipsism, the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld, except for these four families, other worldly sects may not be able to."
"But there are only two people in the entire world who can help the Night Emperor stabilize his injuries with one person's power, without relying on any organization. One is Feng Yunqi and the other is you."
"Let's not talk about Fengyunqi, but with your skills as the number one thief in the mainland, and the resources accumulated over the years, it is possible to stabilize the Night Emperor's injury and delay the onset of the toxin."
"So it is precisely because of you that the Night Emperor has been able to survive for two thousand years, until now."
Fang Che said: "That's why I came to find you."
Sikong Dou said solemnly: "Then how did you find out?"
"When I came in last time, I smelled the scent of the Night Emperor in your place." Fang Che said, "There is also the piece of broken silver stored separately in your drawer."
"Can't the Night Emperor come to my bookstore to buy books?" Sikong Dou asked.
"Of course. He even came here to buy the book, and that piece of silver is the money for the book. Because he can't just take the book and leave. That would make people suspect that he didn't pay. And you don't want to take any risks.
"
"What if someone shouts: Boss, that person didn't pay. Although this is not a problem for you, you still don't want to have such setbacks."
"So, every time the Night Emperor comes to see you, he will buy a book. And the piece of silver in your drawer may be the silver that the Night Emperor just dropped before we went that day."
Fang Che said: "So, I guess you are related to the Night Emperor."
"Far-fetched!"
Sikong Dou said angrily.
"It's indeed a bit far-fetched, but I only have this clue, so I have to seize it, because there is no other way, so I can only find you."
Fang Che was very frank: "And I have seen your bookstore. There are many books, but there are no books that are beneficial to advanced warriors. And although the Night Emperor is very attracted to Jun Lintianxia, he bought other books because
A piece of silver cannot afford to rule the world."
Sikong Dou was really stunned: "How do you know that the Night Emperor is very attracted to Jun Lintianxia?"
"Because he once stood in front of that bookshelf and read a book for a while. I mean, he just looked at the books on the bookshelf for a while, but didn't take out one to read."
Fang Che said.
"How do you know?" Sikong Dou's eyes widened.
"Because there is a place on that bookshelf that also smells like the Night Emperor."
Fang Che said: "It's like a person standing there and holding the bookshelf with his hand. And that position is probably this high."
Fang Che stood up and stretched out his hand for support.
The height of the support is slightly below the shoulders.
Said: "You also know how strong the smell of the Night Emperor is. And the poison is unique. Although he tried his best to block it with spiritual energy to prevent anyone from smelling it, he still held his hand after all.
bookshelf."
Sikong Dou stared, suddenly speechless.
After a long time, he said in disbelief: "Is your nose... a dog's nose? No, no, a dog's nose is not as sharp as yours."
Fang Che smiled and said: "So, senior has admitted that what I said is true."
"I won't say whether it's true or false, but I need to know how you can be so sure that you can save his life?"
Sikong Dou said: "His poison has been around for two thousand years!"
"Because that day, he slashed my brother with a knife, and the blade of the knife naturally carried the residual poison he forced out, and it went straight into the internal organs!"
Fang Che said calmly: "Be careful, it goes straight into the internal organs. And the remaining poison was cured by me. Now my brother has fully recovered. He was among the four people who came to buy books that day."
He slowly said: "I'm not sure if this... can be done? But after all, I can give it a try. In other words, I have the qualifications to give it a try. What do you think?"
Sikong Dou frowned and thought hard, the expression on his face constantly changing.
After a long time, he nodded slowly: "Yes, I am indeed qualified to give it a try."
Fang Che's heart finally calmed down and he relaxed completely. He couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and drink it all in one gulp.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I know that Lord Ye Huang doesn't trust anyone, so I don't want to gain his trust. I also know that Lord Ye doesn't want to be attached to or join any force, so I won't have such a request.
.”
"We won't ask him to show his face."
"I only hope that after Lord Ye Huang recovers, he can take charge of the underground world of East Lake Continent again, and even all the underground worlds in the southeast, southwest, and south!"
"As for his other actions, I have no requirements at all. As for revenge, repayment of kindness, or other things he is willing to do, I don't care at all."
These requests should have been made by the Night Emperor or Sikong Dou.
But Fang Che didn't wait for the other party to make any request, and gave the answer first.
"Why?"
Sikong Dou frowned and asked, "There must be a reason for you to do this."
"The only one who can truly control the underground world is the Night Emperor."
Fang Che said: "After my raids a few days ago, there may be peace for a while, but after the action is over, it will inevitably lead to a more intense counterattack."
"You can't kill all the scum in this world."
Fang Che said: "But if that time comes, whether it is another action or another killing, it will already be a catastrophe for the poor people of East Lake."
"The people at the bottom are suffering too much. And if that time comes, this new round of pain will still come from my last attack on the underground world!"
"I don't want to see that happen!"
Fang Che said: "So, I can only come to you and find the Night Emperor."
Sikong Dou frowned: "You know the Night Emperor's temper so well? How do you do it?"
"Guess."
Fang Che said: "Because the Night Emperor's injury has not healed for two thousand years. Whether the Night Emperor defected to the Solipsism or the Guardian, this poison has been resolved long ago!"
"Logically speaking, if you are poisoned by the Solipsism, it is a normal way to seek help from the Guardians. From now on, it is considered a good thing to join the Guardian camp. After all, you have someone to rely on."
"But the Night Emperor has endured for two thousand years and would rather die than go find the Guardians. This means that he neither wants to join the Solipsism nor the Guardians!"
"The Night Emperor has the Night Emperor's insistence. This is obvious."
Hearing such a meticulous analysis and step-by-step revelation, Sikong Dou frowned and suddenly asked: "You came to me, are you really not under the instruction of the higher-ups of your guardians?"
This was the issue that he had been scolding Fang Che for before this.
This is also an issue that has been settled.
But now it's brought up again.
And in a questioning tone.
"no."
Fang Che said calmly: "I figured it out myself."
After denying it this time, Sikongdou didn't have any mood swings anymore. He just had a look of disbelief on his face: "This is... so amazing..."
"When I first arrived at the store, I just guessed that Ye Huang had come here to buy books. But I really suspected you because you stole Feng Xiangdong's wallet."
"Senior also knows how difficult it is to steal Feng Xiangdong's wallet, and ordinary thieves simply can't do it."
"And I knew the story of the Night Emperor during this time. After entering this courtyard, the senior himself also told about this time two thousand years ago. It was only then that I was 70% sure!"
Fang Che smiled and said, "But that's enough, isn't it?"
Sikongdou's face was complicated and twisted.
He remembered what he had just said.
"More than two thousand years ago, I was known as the greatest thief in the mainland!"
Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that such an ordinary bragging sentence would reveal everything!
"admire!"
Sikongdou let out a long breath with emotion on his face.
"This is the first time in my life that I have said this."
Fang Che said: "What do you think?"
"I'm very excited."
Sikong Dou said: "But what if the guardian uses this thing as a favor in the future?"
"So I came alone today. This is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Guardian. And I don't dare to tell anyone about this matter, including you two. It must be kept strictly confidential. Otherwise, you know, there will be endless troubles."
Fang Che said: "I came alone. Senior, haven't you guessed why yet?"
Sikong Dou breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "I am stupid."
He stood up and said: "Leave the soundproof barrier, I will go out for a while. Don't leave here."
"clear."
"It doesn't matter what I say about this matter. It depends on what he wants. If he doesn't want to do it, no matter what, it's useless."
"clear."
Sikong Dou had already arrived at the gate of the yard, and he said uneasily: "Don't leave here! Don't leave!"
After saying that, he hurried away.
Before, he was desperately trying to drive Fang Che away, but now he was afraid from the bottom of his heart that Fang Che would suddenly leave!
Stay anyway.
This change made Fang Che smile, and then he poured himself a glass of wine without being impatient or impatient.
After convincing Sikongdou, this matter is basically a 100% success.
Fang Che absolutely believed that even if the Night Emperor disagreed, Sikong Dou would be able to kidnap him even if he had to be kidnapped!
The current Night Emperor is so weak that he is definitely no match for Sikong Dou!
Others may not be able to find the Night Emperor at all, but Sikong Dou is as easy as reaching into his crotch to catch a bird.
Sure enough, less than two quarters of an hour had passed.
Sikong Dou came back with a swishing sound.
Next to him, there was a figure in a black robe, covered from head to toe.
