Chapter 56: Misery Loves Company

  Tang Kun has confidence, and perhaps even more backbone, but then again, backbone and confidence are not something you can eat.

  It's not just that, because of the evil spirit of bone energy, it often takes twice the effort to achieve half the result.

  Tang Kun was already too busy to bother with me at this time, he was busy detoxifying himself.

  Gongsun Dog Thief perhaps saw that I had dealt a poisonous hand to Tang Kun, or perhaps it was because he had witnessed the ferocity of Bing Po San, and even more so, perhaps it was because he had personally experienced my tactics, his face still showing some lingering fear. "Fortunately, the matter of poisoning your horse has nothing to do with me, otherwise, I'm afraid you would have dealt another ruthless blow to me."

  The phrase "Gongsun dog thief" is indeed quite apt, just a moment ago, I almost really poisoned him, fortunately, I managed to rein in my temper at the last minute and avoided harming innocent people.

  Gongsun dog thief, the other day he threw me down and ran away with his tail between his legs. Last time, he gave me a huge surprise. Given my usual personality of seeking revenge, I will definitely return him some gifts when we meet again.

  However, Gongzi Xingtian's vengeful spirit is still lurking around me. The people of Qin Guangwang may find me soon. At this critical moment, if I were to offend Gongsun again, I would be completely finished.

  Gongsun's dog thief can't harm us for now, let's keep him, maybe he'll be useful later.

  "I said to myself that next time you want to see me, can't you use some more peaceful means?"

  "What did Gong Sun say in response? He said: 'A peaceful approach? A meeting without creativity, can it be etched in one's heart?'"

  Alright, I admit that you indeed left me with unforgettable memories these two times.

  "Carved in bone and engraved on heart, now there's more than one person looking for me. If you want me to live a bit longer, it's better to appear as mediocre as possible. Innovation is not a bad thing, but if used improperly, it's absolutely not a good thing."

  The fact that Duwang died at my hands has long been spread throughout the Jianghu, and Gong Sun's dog thief should naturally know about it.

  If it weren't for him, would I have provoked Poison King and further antagonized Qin Guangwang?

  "It's rare that you have self-awareness. Qin Guangwang's people are indeed looking for you, and I believe they will arrive in the capital soon."

  Gongsun Dog Thief was extremely familiar with Qin Guang Wang's whereabouts, it seemed that his feud with Qin Guang Wang was not light.

  "Qin Guangwang's men are looking for me, but I'm afraid they're also looking for you."

  Anyone who opposes Qin Guangwang will come to no good end, and I won't be an exception. Gong Sun's treachery will not be an exception either.

  "He is indeed looking for me."

  Gongsun Dog Thief seems to have a deep taboo against Qin Guang Wang, every time he mentions Qin Guang Wang, there is a hint of fear in his eyes, which makes me suspect that Qin Guang Wang might have killed Gongsun Dog Thief's mother in the past.

  "It seems that you and I are indeed connected by a few threads of fate."

  Gongsun Zhi seemed to have caught the sarcasm in my words and hastily said, "It's all because of me that you're in this predicament. Last time I abandoned you was a bitter necessity. It's not the right time yet, but I'll explain everything to you later. For now, it's still best for you to stay with me. Even if your poison skills are superior, if you were to encounter a true master, you wouldn't even have the chance to use them."

  "How about you? Who knows when you'll abandon me again?" I retorted.

  "If I were to abandon you again, given your personality, even if you became a vengeful spirit, you would still haunt me. To ensure that I can live in peace from now on, it's better to bring you along with me."
