Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1181 - 124: It’s a Small World

"Yes, yes, it’s him." Xu Shu nodded.

Xie Xiaochan said, "They lost the boatman, we are missing a gangster, it’s a perfect match. And how many people do they have left?"

Xu Shu said, "He said there are four remaining in total."

Xie Xiaochan clapped her hands and said, "Four? I think we could form an alliance. Yan Huoxing is quite strong! Hey, don’t look at me like that. Just because he was kicked off the list, doesn’t mean you can underestimate him. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"This person is a core disciple of the Assassin Alliance and once came to the Female Void Palace with his master for an exchange.

"Though I haven’t fought him, I’ve watched his battles. His strength is indeed genuine, worthy of being called the first of Qingyun."

"Uh..." Yan Shan and the others fell silent, giving Xie Xiaochan a somewhat resentful look.

Big Sister, do we look like we’re making that face because we despise him?

You come from a prestigious background, you have your pride!

But we’re afraid he’ll turn his back on us!

Everyone felt helpless, but Xu Shu suddenly asked, curious, "Assassin Alliance? Why is a Dragon Elephant like him in the Assassin Alliance?"

Although Xu Shu didn’t know much about this organization, he had naturally heard of its name. It was an alliance of all the famous assassins and bounty organizations in the world.

For example, the famous "outsourced police" under the Judgement Department, the Hunter Association, is one of the members of the Assassin Alliance.

Although the organization is somewhat loose, it is also one of the modern great powers, because they have a Fifth Realm human powerhouse backing them, ranked sixth on the Heavenly List, "Jian Tianxing"!

Xie Xiaochan said, "What are you talking about, who said the Assassin Alliance can only have gangsters? Look at you, you could be an assassin too."

"That’s true." Xu Shu nodded thoughtfully.

Xie Xiaochan continued, "If we have these four join, we can continue exploring! I think it’s doable."

Seeing Xie Xiaochan’s attitude, Xu Shu, for some reason, felt his mood lighten as well, and smiled, "You think so too?"

"Of course, Brother Ha Ha has a good reputation. Though he’s been nailed to the pillar of shame, he’s a decent person and has led many campaigns to eliminate evil sects in the past, hahaha." Xie Xiaochan laughed, then suddenly glanced around and asked, "What does everyone think?"

"Well..."

Jiang Biyun, Yan Shan, and Ning Zhaoxuan hesitated.

Xie Xiaochan patted her chest and said, "What are you worried about? With me covering everyone... Uh, don’t look so gloomy. Why don’t we decide by vote? I support it, what about you?"

Xu Shu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his hand, "I support it too."

As he raised his hand, he also pulled up Gu Yue Ming’s soft, fair little hand.

Although Gu Yue Ming had her concerns, Xu Shu believed he could ensure his aunt’s safety.

Thinking back on when he was pursued by Wu Liuzhi, he was able to protect the cumbersome Shui Longyin, so how could he not protect someone with such strong support abilities like Gu Yue Ming?

"..." Gu Yue Ming lowered her eyes, as if deep in thought, but with her hand held by Xu Shu, she gently said, "I, I agree too."

With three votes of approval, the remaining four exchanged looks.

Moments later, Jiang Biyun, Xiao Yingrong, and Ning Zhaoxuan also chose to form an alliance.

Six votes passed.

Only Yan Shan remained silent, hesitating, not raising his hand.

Xie Xiaochan asked curiously, "Old Yan, what’s the matter with you? Before entering the ruins, weren’t you straightforward about wanting to cling to Xu Shu? Now that you have more powerful teammates to rely on, why are you hesitating?"

Yan Shan was stunned by the question, thinking to himself, is this really the same?

He scratched his head, looked at Xie Xiaochan, then at Xu Shu, and after a while, finally said hesitantly, "Big Sister, it’s not that I’m being modest, but honestly, being a Dragon Elephant like Xu and Yan Huoxing makes me feel almost ashamed. What can I do?"

As he said this, the others deeply empathized, feeling the same huge gap.

Originally, having one Human List Expert in the team was considered getting leverage.

But with several experts of this tier, they all felt like they were just burdens.

Xie Xiaochan, however, laughed and said, "Oh, you’re overthinking it, why belittle yourself? Besides, even if you feel you’re not strong enough, can’t you still do odd jobs? While they fight and die, you cheer from the back and reap the benefits, lying flat and enjoying it safely and happily, isn’t that great?"

"..."

After saying this, everyone looked at Xie Xiaochan with peculiar expressions.

Moreover, Xu Shu was right there, even if you really thought so, could you actually say it out loud?

Xie Xiaochan nonchalantly leaned over, patted Xu Shu on the shoulder, and said, "Right, Xiao Se... ahem, right, little brother? We’re all buddies here."

As her soft shoulder leaned against his, a slightly intoxicating fragrance wafted into his nostrils. It seemed incredibly alluring, yet Xu Shu secretly rolled his eyes.

With the bride’s behavior obviously more intimate than with others, he found himself surprisingly without any romantic thoughts.

No wonder she’s known as the Seven-color Taoist who rejects all allure. While appearing seductive, she exudes a sense of extreme resistance. It feels like she’s the real "Recoil Fighter"...

Xu Shu murmured to himself, nodded, "That’s right. Exactly. And everyone needn’t worry too much, we’re all in this boat together. With Lie Zhenzi backing us, we’re truly allies. We must support each other and trust one another."

He subtly mentioned the existence of the "Heart Fire Incense Burner," which finally dispelled the doubts among his teammates.

Since the team’s two strongest members seemed confident, the others hesitated no more.
