517: Dear Brother Jie

For several days in a row, Nangong Yun waited with anticipation. Whenever he had free time, he would sit by the window, hoping to see that tall and mighty figure.

Finally, on this day.

Under the cover of night, Nangong Yun stood by the window with another figure behind him.

He gritted his teeth, silently enduring it.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. In the dark of night, he saw a familiar figure.

"Brother Jie..." Nangong Yun murmured.

Behind him, the figure raised a hand and slapped him down: "What Brother Jie? Call me Brother Gun!"

"Ah!" Nangong Yun cried out in pain, his eyes instantly moistening, not from the pain, but because Brother Jie had come to save him. He finally had the chance to escape this purgatory.

However, the person behind him did not hear Nangong Yun's address and was very dissatisfied, raising his hand again and striking him hard: "I told you to call me Brother Gun, did you hear me?"

Nangong Yun shuddered. He looked back, a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

But he could not expose himself now. Otherwise, not only would he be unable to leave, but Brother Jie might also be implicated.

He clenched his fists slightly and could only whisper: "Brother Gun~"

"That's more like it." Brother Gun laughed loudly, then habitually raised his hand and struck Nangong Yun a few more times, causing a look of pain to appear on Nangong Yun's face.

He turned his head away, gritting his teeth and silently enduring it, waiting for Brother Jie to arrive.

This posture only excited Brother Gun, who continued to raise his hand and strike Nangong Yun. He was completely venting the darkness deep within his heart.

However, just as he was venting his cruelty, a figure quietly appeared behind him.

Immediately, a sharp blade pierced directly through the back of his head.

In an instant, even his Primordial Spirit was directly shattered.

Brother Gun's eyes widened. He wanted to turn his head to look, but he was powerless. Under the other party's control, he collapsed softly to the ground without making a sound.

The person who arrived was naturally Brother Jie.

He had snuck into the room quietly and, as soon as he entered, saw Brother Gun abusing Nangong Yun.

In a fit of rage, he directly killed Brother Gun.

In the darkness, he looked at the handprints on Nangong Yun's body, his eyes full of heartache: "Xiao Yun, I'm here."

"Brother Jie~" Tears fell from Nangong Yun's face, and his body slumped to the ground. This period had been truly too exhausting.

Seeing this, Brother Jie hurriedly hugged him and reached out to wipe away his tears: "Xiao Yun, I'm taking you away."

"Mm~" Nangong Yun nodded, a smile appearing on his face. He could finally be free. Otherwise, if this continued, he really wouldn't be able to hold on.

"Brother Jie, how are we leaving?" Nangong Yun asked.

Hearing this, Brother Jie smiled slightly and said: "You don't need to worry about that. The people from the Zhou Family guarding you have already been lured away by me. We can just leave directly."

"We should still be careful," Nangong Yun reminded.

Brother Jie nodded and said: "I understand."

With that, he picked up Nangong Yun and leaped directly from the windowsill, disappearing quietly into the night.

Meanwhile, in the room from just before, several figures appeared.

They were experts from the Zhou Family.

They watched the backs of the two, not pursuing them, but instead exhaling in relief: "Finally let them out."

"Sigh, I don't know what the Mansion Master is thinking. To go through such trouble for a mere Nangong Yun, wouldn't it have been better to just kill him?"

"Stop talking nonsense. We just need to execute the Mansion Master's orders."

"I just feel like it's meaningless."

"Hmph, can you compare yourself to the Mansion Master? The Mansion Master doing this must have a deep meaning. If you can't understand it yourself, just honestly follow orders. Don't talk so much nonsense all day; be careful of bringing disaster upon yourself with your words one day."

The few spoke in low voices, and before long, they also disappeared.

On the other side, Brother Jie and Nangong Yun hid and dodged, taking many detours.

Finally, they arrived at a remote small courtyard.

The two entered, and only then did Brother Jie breathe a sigh of relief and put Nangong Yun down: "No one followed us. It seems we are safe."

"Brother Jie, thank you." Nangong Yun was also somewhat excited. He had finally truly escaped from that purgatory.

Brother Jie waved his hand, looking affectionately at Nangong Yun, and said: "Why be so polite with me? Meeting you is my good fortune. From now on, the two of us can truly be together."

"Brother Jie, I..." Nangong Yun's heart trembled.

He only wanted to use Brother Jie to escape the control of the Zhou Family, but now...

Looking at Brother Jie's affectionate eyes, for a moment, Nangong Yun felt somewhat guilty. He felt he had tarnished the other party's sincerity.

It must be said that after becoming a girl, and having experienced so much, the current Nangong Yun had become somewhat feminine.

Under Brother Jie's gaze, Nangong Yun lowered his head slightly, feeling conflicted inside.

At this moment, Brother Jie raised his hand, rubbed his head, and smiled: "Xiao Yun, I know you were forced to become like this, and you don't really like me, but I am still willing to give everything for you."

His voice was very gentle.

Nangong Yun looked up, a flash of emotion in his eyes.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but in the end, he didn't say much, just smiled bitterly.

Seeing this, Brother Jie was not angry.

The hand on Nangong Yun's head fell slightly, pinching his cheek, and said: "During this time, the Zhou Family will definitely send people to look for you. For the short term, you should stay here first. I will go out to scout the situation. If there is a chance, I will send you out of the city. At that time, you can find any place, and it will be safer than here. As long as you are cautious, it will be hard for the Zhou Family to find you."

Saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

Nangong Yun subconsciously reached out and grabbed Brother Jie's arm.

Staying behind by himself, he didn't feel very safe.

Looking at Brother Jie, he blushed slightly and whispered: "Brother Jie, keep me company."

"Xiao Yun, you..." Brother Jie turned his head, a look of surprise on his face, and asked somewhat uncertainly: "What did you say?"

"Brother Jie, stay here and keep me company." Nangong Yun spoke again.

After finishing, his face turned bright red, making Brother Jie unable to help but swallow hard.

In his eyes, Nangong Yun was simply stunning.

The crimson cheeks under the cover of night, coupled with such a delicate request, Brother Jie simply could not refuse.

He took Nangong Yun's hand, pulled hard, and took him into his arms. Immediately, he picked him up and walked towards the room.

Nangong Yun lowered his head, without any resistance.

On one hand, he really didn't feel safe by himself; on the other hand, he would just treat it as thanking Brother Jie.

Anyway, it wasn't the first time.

Moreover, he was actually slightly addicted to Brother Jie's gentleness.
