Chapter 999 Immortal and Indestructible?
Night Shadow pondered: Does Wang know Granny Wang? What is his relationship with Granny Wang?
When Granny Wang died mysteriously, she seemed to have had a whale pattern on her body, but she dug it out and it became a scar. Among her belongings, there was even a whale pattern embroidery pattern.
Now Nightshade finally understands how much pain he suffered from having this tattoo on his body. With this totem on his body, he feels as if he has betrayed the Hidden Camp and will never be able to return to it.
Yan Dinghai said, "Yan Jue, let's go with your godfather to see those children!"
Yan Jue respectfully replied, "Yes, Godfather."
Once Yan Dinghai and Yan Jue had left, Ye Ying walked quietly to Wang Buzhi's side and praised, "Chief Wang's craftsmanship is indeed amazing. Even without blueprints, Chief Wang can be so precise when tattooing totems."
"When I first learned permanent makeup, I could achieve a 70-80% likeness without using any patterns. This totem has long been engraved in my mind. I helped many people in the sect to get their tattoos done. Are you satisfied with the permanent makeup on Brother Yan Ying's body? It is your honor to become a member of the Earthly Fiend Sect."
Ye Ying cupped his hands and said, "Yan Ying hasn't thanked Chief Wang yet. I'll treat Chief Wang to a drink sometime."
Wang didn't know: "Then thank you in advance, Brother Yan Ying."
He added, "Since you are Young Master Yan's brother, you are also my brother, Wang Buzhi. Perhaps I can help you with the scars on your face to make you look better."
Nightshade said, "My face is already disfigured. What use is a good face to an assassin? No need to bother."
Wang Buzhi grinned mischievously: "Brother Yan Ying is right. An assassin should look like an assassin. But we are also flesh and blood people with emotions and desires. It's inconvenient to go out and do things with this face. Women will be afraid."
Nightshade was stunned and didn't know how to respond. He wanted to say that he wasn't interested in women.
Wang Buzhi continued working, saying, "But Brother Yeying, don't worry. Perhaps in the near future, all the brothers of our Earthly Fiend Sect will be different, and no one in the world will dare to give us a hard time."
Nightshade asked doubtfully, "What's the difference? Assassins always live with their heads on the line. Who knows, we might not see the sun rise tomorrow."
"Immortal and indestructible." Wang didn't know.
Night Shadow looked at Wang Buzhi and said, "What are you joking about, Chief Wang? Those of us in this line of work know that people can die at any time. Maybe the next moment, maybe tomorrow, who knows?"
Wang Buzhi added, "I never joke. Being carefree is my motto. If we can become immortal in the future, we will all have plenty of time to enjoy life."
Nightshade dared not ask any further, only saying, "Does Chief Wang have a family? Parents, brothers, wife, and children..."
Wang Buzhi's expression suddenly changed, his eyes turning cold. "As an assassin, the most taboo thing is to pry into other people's family affairs."
Nightshade quickly said, "I didn't mean to ask. I just heard from Chief Wang that we can live and die in the future. I thought it would be meaningless to live so long without family. It would be a sad thing to enjoy life alone while watching family members grow old, get sick and die."
Wang Buzhi's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Brother Yan Ying is a man of deep feelings, which is the most taboo thing for an assassin."
“But we are all born and raised by our parents. Without our parents, where would we be?” Nightshade’s eyes were full of sadness as she said, “No matter what, I will always remember the kindness of my parents. My only regret in this life is that I have never met my parents.”
Wang Buzhi suddenly sighed, "I once had an older sister, but unfortunately she..."
At this point, Wang Buzhi changed the subject again, "I heard that before joining the Earthly Fiend Sect, Brother Yan Ying was a royal family's secret guard."
Nightshade said, "Yes, but my former master killed my parents and then made me work for them. I have been doing this for more than 20 years, and I am truly ashamed of my parents. I only recently found my brother. I swear I will avenge my parents."
Wang Buzhi suddenly laughed, "Brother Yan Ying is indeed a man of deep feelings. I like brothers like you who value loyalty and friendship."
"You flatter me, Chief Wang. We're all people who live on the edge. I don't even know if I can avenge my parents on my own," Nightshade sighed.
“Yan Jue is your own brother. You two brothers are now the sect leader’s right-hand men. In the future, you will definitely have a chance to take revenge.” Wang Buzhi continued, “You used to be a secret guard who served the emperor. Did you often enter and leave the palace?”
Nightshade knew the fish had taken the bait. "I am the Emperor's personal bodyguard, so naturally I often walk around the palace to protect the Emperor's safety. It's just a pity that I'm risking my life to protect my enemy. I'm so stupid..."
Wang Buzhi's eyes lit up. "Brother Yan Ying, don't say that. You were also deceived and misled by villains."
"Yes." Ye Ying said.
Wang Buzhi got to the point, "So, it seems that Brother Yan Ying also knows many people in the palace."
"That's a lot! As secret guards, we have to consider everything, so we also investigate people in the palace, including maids, eunuchs, and guards," Night Shadow said casually.
Wang didn't know: "Is there a woman surnamed Wang who should be around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old now? Her face shape..." He couldn't quite remember either; he was very young when she was sent away.
Ye Ying said, "There aren't many people with the surname Wang. There is a nanny named Wang who serves in the Empress Dowager's palace. She is the head female official in the palace. Later, she was assigned to serve the Empress. She is highly regarded by the Empress and the Empress Dowager. She is also a very good person. When we patrol at midnight, Nanny Wang always likes to make midnight snacks for us brothers to enjoy. She is a very good person."
Wang Buzhi's eyes lit up. "Is she still in the palace? What's her name?"
"She's still here, but I don't know her name. Granny Wang is an old servant of the Empress Dowager, she's been in the palace for twenty years, right? We don't dare offend anyone close to the Empress Dowager." Ye Ying certainly couldn't say that Granny Wang had hanged herself, something the Empress had kept secret at the time. "The palace is heavily guarded. Ever since I betrayed the Emperor, I was expelled from the Hidden Guard. I haven't eaten Granny Wang's noodles since I left, and I'm afraid I'll never have the chance again in this lifetime!"
After hearing this, Wang Buzhi fell silent. Ye Ying was increasingly puzzled. If they had been in contact, why would Wang Buzhi inquire about someone surnamed Wang, unless Granny Wang had never contacted anyone from the Earthly Fiend Sect?
But why did she choose death rather than reveal the truth? Is the Earthly Fiend Sect really that terrifying?
Wang Buzhi began to recount his past, "I actually have an older sister. She was already married, but my brother-in-law betrayed her. In a fit of anger, she left home and never came back. Later, I turned my brother-in-law and his lover into human pigs to make them apologize to my sister, but my sister never came back."
Night Shadow knew he wasn't telling the truth; at least half of it was false. Granny Wang clearly had the Earthly Fiend Sect's totem tattooed on her body, especially in that area of her body.
He also pretended to pity his sister, saying, "Chief Wang, don't think too much about it. If you have the chance to return to Shengjing, I'll take you to see Granny Wang and see if she is your sister."
Their relationship progressed further, and they began to address each other as brothers.
Xie Shang, lying on the ground, thought that by falling unconscious he could return to the future and the moment when he seized the Great Zhou Dynasty. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself still in the dilapidated house.
He thought he heard them say something about "immortality." What was Yan Dinghai's real purpose in approaching him? Weren't they looking for a way to be reborn?
