Chapter 46 Dusk

  "Boss, we're back."

  In a hidden cave, two men, Kou Shi and Ye Ying, walked in, each carrying a child on their shoulders. Upon closer inspection, the children were Yang Yu Xi and Nan Gong Zang Jie, but they had already lost consciousness.

  At the end of the cave, a figure sat on a stone chair, her night-traveling clothes outlining her fiery figure, and although she was sitting, she was already full of charm.

  She had a pair of enchanting eyes, with a few golden sparkles at the corners, and now saw two people walking in from outside the cave. She slowly stood up from the stone chair, her whole body having an indescribable charm that was very attractive.

  "Caught it?" The woman twisted her waist like a water snake and moved lightly.

  "Got it." The Wild Eagle pointed at his own and Crazy Lion's shoulders, then casually slammed the two to the ground.

  "Ouch! Ahh!" Yang Yu Xi woke up with a start, rubbing her sore butt.

  Nangong Zang also woke up, but he wouldn't shout loudly like Yang Yuxi. His instinct was to release a probing wave.

  "Huh?"

  The movement of Nan Gong Cang Jie was undoubtedly discovered by the woman, who let out a soft voice of doubt, and her eyes flowed with a hint of admiration. In comparison, she was speechless towards that idiot who only knew how to shout loudly.

  "Did you find out anything?" The woman asked casually.

  "Huh?!" Nan Gong Zuan Jie's face suddenly changed, looking at the woman in incredulity. His complexion had never been so bad before, not even when he lost an arm to the Blue-eyed Flame Beast, although he had fainted directly afterwards.

  "Don't look at me like that." The woman turned around and said lightly, "Although your detection sense is quite unusual, it's not the only one in the world. For example, I also possess a detection sense similar to yours."

  Nangong Zang's heart sank with a sudden shock, but he was after all someone with an extraordinary temperament and quickly regained his composure, asking: "Where is this place?"

  "A small part of 'dusk'."

  "What is 'dusk'?" Yang Yu Xi, this chatterbox naturally wanted to continue the conversation.

  "For now, you don't need to know these things, just knowing that we are a large organization is enough." The woman's voice was cold and detached.

  "What's the point of not knowing, I don't even know where I am, how can I feel safe? Without a sense of safety, I won't be able to sleep. If I don't sleep, I'll become haggard, and if I'm haggard, I won't be handsome. And if I'm not handsome, I won't be able to chase after beautiful girls! So what do I need to know now?" Yang Yu Xi's heart was surprisingly fearless, he scratched his head in contemplation, and finally came up with a brilliant idea.

  The woman only felt that catching this guy was a mistake, but it's too late now. She could only patiently say: "You just need to know that we are a very powerful organization."

  "How fierce?" Yang Yu Xi asked subconsciously, and immediately fell silent after seeing the woman's cold and misty eyes.

  Nan Gong Zang Jie asked on the side: "Us? What does that mean?"

  The wild eagle took over the conversation, "heh heh" laughed and his originally gloomy voice became even more terrifying: "Do you think bringing you guys here is for a tour?"

  "Isn't it?" Yang Yu Xi was stunned.

  "Boom!"

  The furious lion could no longer bear it, and with a single knife, Yang Yu Xi was knocked unconscious. Then, he spread his hands to the woman and the wild eagle, saying: "Isn't it much quieter now?"

  The two of them, who were used to licking blood from the blade, involuntarily gave a thumbs up to the mad lion.

  "Heh heh." The mad lion smiled.

  Nan Gong Zang's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he checked on Yang Yu Xi's condition, and only after confirming that she had simply fainted did he put his mind at ease. He then turned to the three of them and said, "So, you want us to join you?"

  "Not bad, and you should understand, you have no room for choice." The woman's vermilion lips lightly opened, speaking faintly.

  Nan Gong Zang Jie did not speak immediately, he was considering some things in his heart. The current situation between him and Yang Yu Xi was very unfavorable. If they were to force it, just the Crazy Lion and Wild Eagle would be enough to overwhelm them, let alone the mysterious woman in front of them.

  Thinking so, Nan Gong Cang Jie had already made up his mind.

  "What's up? Have you thought it over?" the woman asked.

  Nangong Zangjue raised his head, gazing straight into the woman's enchanting eyes, and said: "You have to tell me first, what are you people doing? If it's an evil sect, then we'd rather die than join."

  The woman nodded slightly and explained: "Don't worry, we're not an evil sect, but neither are we a righteous one. In simple terms, others pay the bills, and we do things for them."

  "Mercenary?" Nan Gong Zang Jie asked again, his clear eyes unchanged under the woman's enchanting gaze.

  The girl narrowed her eyes and nodded: "About right."

  "We join you, what benefits do we get? Can't afford to lose out." Nangong Cangjue continued, at this time he looked just like a shrewd businessman.

  The woman's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, her tone somewhat chilly. "Are you so sure," she said, "that with your two joining us, we will gain great benefits?"

  Nangong Zang smiled slightly and said, "There's no benefit to you, so why would you go through such great trouble to capture us?"

  The woman fell silent for a moment, and indeed she had seen the potential of these two people. As for how she saw it, that was still a secret. She finally said: "We can guide your cultivation, of course, the kung fu martial arts can only be learned from what we teach you."

  "Alright, then let's talk about what we need to do." Nangong Cangjie said calmly.

  The girl and the Wild Eagle locked eyes, then gritted her teeth and said: "I only need you to reach the Microcosm Boundary within five years, and then help me do one thing. After that, you can choose to leave."

  "Hmm? Your strength is definitely more than just a spark." Nan Gong Zang Jie murmured.

  The woman nodded and said: "Yes, but this matter can only be helped by you. I will tell you the details after you join."

  "What if I don't join?" Nan Gong Cang Jie's eyes remained vigilant.

  "Kill you." The woman's tone didn't fluctuate in the slightest, as if this sentence was no different from what she had said before.

  "It seems we have no other choice... " Nan Gong Zang Jie slowly stood up.

  "Alright then... " Nangong Zuanjie took a step forward, extending his only right hand in a gentlemanly manner and said, "Let's wish for a pleasant cooperation."

  The girl didn't hesitate and stretched out her right hand, clasping it with Nan Gong Zuan Jie's.

  At this time, Nan Gong Cang Jie was only eight years old and couldn't even reach a woman's chest, but his face wore a very mature smile.

  However, suddenly a silly face appeared beside Nan Gong Zang Jie, and Yang Yu Xi woke up at this time. He was still a bit dizzy, his whole body leaning on Nan Gong Zang Jie's. His eyelids were half-lowered, staring at the hands of the two people holding together, then lazily raised his head to look at the woman and said: "Does it come with food, accommodation, and a little sister?"

  The girl suddenly petrified, Nan Gong Zuo's eyes twitched at the corner.

  The wild eagle and the mad lion exchanged a glance, then clenched their fists with a crackling sound, step by step closing in on Yang Yu Xi.

  Yang Yu Xi suddenly woke up, a clever one jumped aside and said: "No sister is okay, just package food and accommodation!"

  "Rustling sounds"

  This time four stocks of killing aura burst out simultaneously.

  After a moment, Yang Yuxi was subdued. This time he wasn't knocked unconscious, but instead was tied up and gagged.

  "Wooooo..." Yang Yu Xi struggled, but facing the dead wolf head, as a sheep he had no power to resist.

  The woman took Nan Gong Zuan and Yang Yu Xi into the depths of the stone cave, of course, Yang Yu Xi was dragged in.

  "You can call me Shui She." The cave was very large and had many compartments, it seemed that this place was indeed a camp. The woman led the two into what appeared to be her boudoir and said.

  "Uh-huh, okay. My name is Nangong Zangjie, and that idiot's name is Yang Yuxi."

  On the side, Yang Yu Xi struggled and shouted in her heart: Brother is not an idiot, brother is not an idiot!

  Actually, I'm a flower idiot...

  Yang Yu Xi was just dragging behind the water snake, looking at the water snake's beautiful curves and was stunned. If he hadn't had something in his mouth, saliva would have definitely flowed down. He is now constantly praising in his heart: Water Snake, this name is really suitable! Look at that generally soft waist of the water snake!!

  The Water Snake looked at Nan Gong Zuan Jie and said: "Here everyone says code names, not real names."

  "Is it really... an animal?"

  "Not necessarily, anything is fine as long as it's not your real name."

  Nangong Cangjue thought for a moment and said: "Then I'll just call myself Canlan, as for that guy, it's simple, let's just call him Baichi."

  Yang Yu Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. His own generation's elegant and handsome hero, who was as majestic as a jade tree in the wind, was ruined just like that!

  You're the idiot... You can even think of such a girly codename!!

  However, it's clear that Nan Gong Zuo Jie has already reached the point of ignoring Yang Yu Xi. He asked Shui She: "Speak, what do you want us to help you with five years later?"

  The water snake nodded and said: "Actually, our 'Dusk' organization has only thirty-four core members, but they are spread all over the world. And this world is not just the Great Zhou Dynasty."

  "Thirty-four people? We have seven here, and now with me and Bai Chi, we're nine." Nan Gong Cang Jie furrowed his brow, having already figured out the number of people in this small branch along the way.

  Nangong Zang was completely unaware of Yang Yuxi's gaze that seemed to swallow him whole.

  "Alright, we have nine people, but not a single core." As she said this, her eyes flashed with a hint of desolation.

  "Weren't you the core before?" Nan Gong Zang Jie caught that hint of desolation.

  "Not bad."

  "Can you return to the core then?"

  At this point, the snake's eyes sparkled and she said: "For a kicked member to return to the core, there are usually two ways. One is to rely on one's own strength to regain the position of a core member..."

  "It seems you can't do it, otherwise you wouldn't have looked for us. Let's talk about the second option." Nan Gong Cang Jie said with a nod.

  The water snake looked at Nan Gong Cang Jie for a moment, although what he said was the truth, but it was undoubtedly a stimulus to her. However, she still endured and said: "The second method is to cultivate at least two members who can enter the core, and then rely on these two people to re-enter the core themselves."

  Nangong Zangjie knew the abacus of the water snake, but he still said: "You should know that if you enter the core by the second method, you will definitely become the target of other non-core members." Since you want to use the second method, it means that your own strength is not enough. If your strength is not enough, then you will naturally become someone else's challenge object.

  "I know this, as long as I can re-enter the core, I naturally don't need you to worry." Shui She said, her tone somewhat firm.

  "Alright." Nangong Cangjue nodded and said, "We'll help you with this matter. I have a question for you, what method did the person you kicked out use?"

  The water snake fell silent for a moment before speaking up, its eyes revealing an unmistakable fear: "The first kind."
