Seeing Lin Zhendong’s actions, Xiao Ye was dumbfounded. He turned his head to look at Su Yan, who was also in a daze, and muttered, “It can’t be, right? Where was Snow Jade Lotus buried? I remember passing by that place several times!”

Su Yan suppressed her excitement and said, “That’s why I said that looking for treasures depends on one’s luck!”

“I can find it even if I tear down the entire lair!” Xiao Ye was a little dissatisfied.

“Bullsh*t! At most, you can blow up the entire lair and filter it. You definitely won’t explore the underground in that corner because you’ve already dug three meters deep! You’ll blame the fortune teller when you can’t find anything!” Su Yan said unhappily.

“Well, it’s dark here… Should we go over and help?” Xiao Ye smiled.

“Don’t. Let him dig it out. Finding treasures depends on one’s luck. Treasures should not be revealed to others. Let’s not get involved.” Su Yan stopped Xiao Ye nervously.

Xiao Ye also knew how important Snow Jade Lotus was to Su Yan, so he stood where he was and stretched his neck, watching Lin Zhendong dig anxiously.

Lin Zhendong was not sure if his knife were not good or because the ground was solid. After a while, Xiao Ye was getting anxious from waiting. Lin Zhendong put down the knife and started to dig into the ground with his hands.

Then, Lin Zhendong finally stood up with a ball in his hands. The sharp-eyed Xiao Ye and Su Yan naturally saw it was a lotus-shaped object at a glance.

“You found it?!” Xiao Ye was dumbfounded.

Su Yan was overjoyed, but she was also afraid.

For a moment, the two big shots did not move. They watched from afar as Lin Zhendong gently tidied up the soil, revealing a snow-white Snow Jade Lotus.

“Snow Jade Lotus!” Su Yan shouted in surprise.

At this moment, Su Yan’s expression suddenly changed. She roared angrily, “How dare you!”

That was because a black-robed man, who was not far away from Lin Zhendong, suddenly drew his saber after the Snow Jade Lotus was revealed. He rushed over quickly and slashed at the Snow Jade Lotus in Lin Zhendong’s hand.

The man in black closest to Lin Zhendong did not react in time. After all, who would have thought that his people would suddenly attack?

At this moment, the Snow Jade Lotus disappeared.

The blade slashed into the ground, slashing a hole in the ground. Lin Zhendong’s body was also blown back and fell into the three-meter-wide hole.

The black-robed man drew his blade and leaped toward Lin Zhendong, who was in the pit as if he wanted to continue attacking.

But at this moment, everyone reacted.

The black-robed man’s body was stuck in the air. He struggled desperately but could not move at all.

One could see that inch-wide black shadows were binding him everywhere on his body.

Su Yan made a move.

The other men in black also drew their weapons in unison. Some were on guard, while others were wary of the assassin.

However, no one dared to approach Lin Zhendong. They did not want to get suspicious.

Xiao Ye roared and leaped from the other side of the pit to the top of the assassin. He raised his fist and prepared to kill the assassin with a punch.

“Wait! Brother Xiao Ye, don’t kill him!” Lin Zhendong, who was standing up, shouted in a panic.

Xiao Ye forcefully retracted his hand and silently landed beside the assassin. He did not dare to land beside Lin Zhendong to disturb Lin Zhendong.

Xiao Ye’s expression darkened because he was the one who brought these men in black. He also knew what Snow Jade Lotus meant to Su Yan. His subordinate wanted to destroy Snow Jade Lotus. He really couldn’t explain himself!

Therefore, even if he wanted to kill this assassin, he had to suppress his killing intent. Otherwise, it would be hard to explain.

In a flash, Su Yan had already floated over. She didn’t even look at the assassin she had imprisoned. Instead, she looked nervous. She carefully sized Lin Zhendong’s body up and asked, “Little brother, are you alright?”

Lin Zhendong patted the dirt off his body. Of course, he knew what Su Yan was concerned about. He naturally grinned and stretched out his hand. “I’m fine. I didn’t disappoint you. Sister Su Yan, is this the Snow Jade Lotus you wanted?”

Su Yan saw the Snow Jade Lotus appear in Lin Dongyun’s palm. Her eyes were glued to this treasure that she had been yearning for. She gently received it with trembling hands.

After a careful examination, she muttered with trembling lips, “That’s right. It’s indeed the Snow Jade Lotus! That’s great!” Then, Su Yan stuffed it into her shadow and hid it.

After doing this, Su Yan’s emotions finally stabilized.

She looked at Lin Zhendong gratefully. “Thank you, little brother. This Snow Jade Lotus is important to me. I owe you a favor.”

As Su Yan said this, she turned to look at the assassin who was trapped in the air and said coldly, “I’ll give you an explanation for this.”

Xiao Ye rubbed his hands anxiously, but he couldn’t say anything.

“Sister Su Yan, don’t be anxious. You and Xiao Ye have to check this big brother carefully,” Lin Zhendong said.

“When he attacked me just now, I realized something was wrong with him.”

Lin Zhendong spoke up because the chip had given a strange indication when it had issued the hostile warning earlier. [Target is hostile (controlled). Strength: C]

It was not to defend the assassin but to prevent the mastermind from hiding and watching the show.

More importantly, Lin Zhendong, the clever little guy, looked at the men in black around him with shock and disbelief in his eyes.

From their expressions alone, it was clear that these men in black were not emotionless tools of the evil organization.

“Eh?” Hearing this, Xiao Ye and Su Yan exclaimed.

The eyes of the other men in black who were surrounding him couldn’t help but light up. They all looked at the person who was floating in the air.

With a look, everyone could tell something was wrong because that person’s eyes were dull. No matter how they looked at it, he did not look like an ordinary person.

Su Yan didn’t say anything. She waved her hand, and a black palm suddenly appeared in the air, pulling off the other party’s mask.

It was a dull, expressionless, ordinary-looking young man.

The black palm appeared again and imprinted itself on the other party’s face before entering his brain.

After a while, black lines seeped out of the young man’s nostrils, and at the end of the lines, there was a slender, white, and tender little bug tied up.

When Xiao Ye saw the bug, he roared, “It’s a puppet worm? Damn the Vodun Sect!”

Not only that, but the other men in black were also furious.

As soon as the puppet worm was pulled out, it seemed to have been set up with some kind of device. It struggled a few times and then shattered into a pool of liquid.

The young man also regained his senses. He looked around in confusion and realized he was trapped in the air. He subconsciously asked, “What happened to me?”

Su Yan didn’t say a word nor did she let go of the young man. Her body shook, and dozens of black shadows appeared, quickly surging into all the men in black floating in the air.

The men in black who were on guard did not resist and allowed the black shadow to enter their bodies.

It was not until all the shadows came out of the black-robed man’s body and disappeared into the shadows under Su Yan’s feet that Su Yan released the shackles and allowed the black-robed man to fall.

Xiao Ye rubbed her hands and drooled, but she didn’t know what to say and followed Su Yan.
