Dangerous Relationships in the Underworld

Finally, Xiang Yuyang saw the lights inside the Blackwood Hall go out, and the boy at the door entered,
a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips. He knew it was time, so he quickly and silently approached the Blackwood Hall.

Passing the main gate, Xiang Yuyang nimbly scaled the rather high wall. His
martial arts skills , proved invaluable in this situation. Silently crossing the grass, Xiang Yuyang chose to walk in
the shadows of the eaves. With his excellent eyesight, he spotted a faint light coming from the last room. He mentally
applauded himself, and with light steps, he soon reached the door. Xiang Yuyang crouched down by the window, wanting to listen for any sounds
inside . Fortunately, he did so, because just as he hid, the door was opened. Just like yesterday, Yi Ziyan first brought food and water into the room. As usual , Tan Lingxi

poured cold water on him before he turned and left. Perhaps because of Tan Lingxi, Yi Ziyan felt particularly tired these past two days . Closing the door, he sat down against it, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep drag, and exhaled. The smoke drifted in the wind. Gazing at the moonlit, starry night sky, Yi Ziyan sighed. "So clear..." Smoking alone, Yi Ziyan's thoughts drifted far away. Thinking of his lover , a gentle smile first appeared on his lips, then was replaced by a hint of sorrow. Yu Yang, you received Xi Ren's letter, didn't you? What will you do? How are you? Tonight's night sky is breathtakingly . Are you also thinking of me in this beautiful night? Because Yi Ziyan was bathed in such bright moonlight, his slightly pale skin shimmered with a pearly luster exquisitely beautiful face appear even more stunning in the night. His emotions, whether joy or sorrow, were clearly visible to Xiang Yuyang, who was hiding in the shadows. Xiang Yuyang was both amazed and heartbroken, his love for Yi Ziyan surging within him, making him impulsively want to rush out and hold him tightly in his arms. "I didn't expect you to smoke, Ziyan." Startled by the sudden voice, Yi Ziyan reflexively drew his gun, his eyes gleaming. Xiang Yuyang knew he couldn't see him, yet the muzzle was precisely aimed at his chest. Xiang Yuyang was utterly impressed by Yi Ziyan's accuracy. "Who... Yu Yang?" Yi Ziyan asked coldly at first, then immediately sensed something was wrong. The voice sounded too familiar. The moment Xiang Yu Yang slowly emerged from the darkness, Yi Ziyan had thought it was a hallucination born of his longing for him, yet it felt terrifyingly real. "It's me." It was that carefree smile, that tall and handsome figure, the one he missed and longed for every moment. "You've come to take Tan Lingxi away, haven't you?" Yi Ziyan looked at the man he had longed for day and night. Xiang Yu Yang smiled and nodded, and Yi Ziyan smiled back. "You think I'd let you take him away?" This was his territory, after all. Did Xiang Yu Yang really have such intentions? "I never expected to see you here. Seeing you, I know it won't be easy for me to take Lingxi away today. Will you go easy on her...? Love?" Seeing his lover made Xiang Yuyang extremely happy. Even though he knew Yi Ziyan wouldn't go easy on him, Xiang Yuyang still couldn't help teasing him. Because of that word "love," the unprepared Yi Ziyan trembled all over, a faint blush spreading across his cheeks. He never expected that Xiang Yuyang would use such an intimate term to call him in this situation. Scenes of him and Xiang Yuyang making love automatically flashed through his mind. Just then, Xiang Yuyang came in front of Yi Ziyan, pressing down the hand that was still pointing the gun at him, and kissing Yi Ziyan's cool, cherry-colored lips. "Ugh!" Yi Ziyan was startled. His left hand, which was holding the gun, loosened, and the gun fell to the ground. He was immediately captivated by Xiang Yuyang's domineering kiss. In an instant, a deep longing and a passionate kiss poured forth. Yi Ziyan not only didn't resist Xiang Yuyang's kiss, but also actively kissed him back, wanting him to know how much she missed him and how much she loved him. Excitedly tasting each other's lips and tongues, Xiang Yuyang pressed Yi Ziyan's head down forcefully, allowing himself to be closer and more intimately connected with his lover. Yi Ziyan obediently cooperated. Their hot breaths swirled around them, their urgent needs making them both reluctant to breathe, until Yi Ziyan almost fainted from lack of oxygen, at which point Xiang Yuyang had to release his lips, which carried a faint bitter smell of smoke. A physiological instinct caused Yi Ziyan's chest to contract violently, gasping for breath, her whole body limp in Xiang Yuyang's arms. Her face showed bewilderment, confusion, happiness, and attachment, because she knew it was hard-won, and therefore wanted to cherish it all the more. Xiang Yuyang held the slender figure in his arms tightly, his brows beaming with happiness. He gently stroked Yi Ziyan's body, a hint of displeasure in his voice. "Why have you lost weight again? Haven't you been eating anything?" Although her skin was still smooth, the feeling of her bones against his skin made Xiang Yuyang feel a pang of tenderness. How was this guy taking care of himself? Hearing the worry hidden in Xiang Yuyang's displeasure, Yi Ziyan couldn't help but smile. "Worried about me, my love, my sweetheart." "Yes, but without you by my side, I can't eat much." Xiang Yuyang was both touched and saddened. He felt as if he wanted to meld Yi Ziyan into his very being, and he tightened his grip on her . "Silly boy, how can you do this? You'll get sick. Don't make me worry." Yi Ziyan buried his face in Xiang Yuyang's chest, greedily inhaling his breath. He knew they might never have another chance to be alone together, and he wanted to use this moment to clearly imprint everything about Xiang Yuyang in his mind and heart, so that he would have more vivid memories when he missed him. "Love..." Xiang Yuyang murmured, looking down. As if bewitched, Yi Ziyan looked up, searching for Xiang Yuyang's lips. Their lips met again, but without the urgency of their first encounter; a gentle, warm love flowed between them, making them inseparable. As Xiang Yuyang's tongue explored, a moan escaped Yi Ziyan's throat. If he could, he didn't want him to leave, didn't want him to go, didn't want him to let go... "...I'm sorry..." Xiang Yuyang said sullenly. Yi Ziyan was still in a daze. Sorry? Why is he suddenly apologizing to me? ...Wait, no, the reason he came here is...! Yi Ziyan's muddled mind finally managed to recall Xiang Yuyang's original purpose, but it was too late. Xiang Yuyang was also extremely reluctant, but the matter had to be done. With a swift movement, he struck Yi Ziyan, who let out a muffled groan and had already fainted.

She softly collapsed into Xiang Yuyang's arms.

Gently lifting Yi Ziyan, Xiang Yuyang felt a pang of guilt. He had been forced to exploit Yi Ziyan's longing for him,
simply because he didn't want to compete with her in front of Tan Lingxi—it was his selfish reason.

"I'm sorry, Ai, you know I love you," Xiang Yuyang whispered in Yi Ziyan's ear. Yi Ziyan
seemed to hear him, letting out a soft moan, a faint smile playing on her lips. Xiang Yuyang gazed tenderly at his
sleeping lover in his arms. He must not have been sleeping well these past few days, right? Sigh, how could he bear to leave him
alone?

Gently pushing open the door, Tan Lingxi sat in the center of the room, eyes closed, resting. Hearing footsteps, he thought, "It's Yi Ziyan again,"
and didn't bother to speak to him; out of sight, out of mind.

"What's wrong now? You're so strange, why aren't you sleeping at night? Why are you bothering me all this time?" Tan Lingxi
really couldn't understand Yi Ziyan's mind. She was clearly annoyed with him, but he didn't say a word. Hmph, in the end,
it's all for Yu Yang!

"Don't think that just because you're doing this, I'll put in a good word for you in front of Yu Yang. Hmph, dream on!"

"You're really fierce, Lingxi."

Seeing Tan Lingxi cursing with her eyes closed, Xiang Yu Yang couldn't help but laugh. Tan Lingxi opened her eyes in surprise, unable to
believe her eyes.

"Xiang Yu Yang? How did you know I was here?" Good heavens, thank goodness he didn't say anything more, otherwise it would have been
so embarrassing if he had heard her!

"Thanks to Mu Xiren's letter, he planned to use you to blackmail the Azure Dragon Hall. That's how I found out you were really
taken away by the Blackwood Hall. But you're really funny, how did you get captured?" Xiang Yuyang said as he unlocked Tan Lingxi's handcuffs.
Tan Lingxi shook her hands and stood up, her brows furrowing when she saw Yi Ziyan still lying in Xiang Yuyang's arms.

"He boasted so much, but seeing you, he obediently let you in."

"Lingxi!" Xiang Yuyang stopped Tan Lingxi, looking at the person in his arms with overflowing affection. Tan Lingxi
was burning with jealousy . Did you come to rescue me, or to see him?

"I used him." Xiang Yuyang squatted down, wrapped the clothes Yi Ziyan had brought for Tan Lingxi around his
body , and then, feeling that he was too thin, took off his own coat and put it on Yi Ziyan. He gently
laid him on the ground, handcuffed him to the wall, and kissed Yi Ziyan's cheek reluctantly.

"I'm leaving, Ai." Xiang Yuyang's voice was very soft, so Tan Lingxi didn't hear it.

Standing up, Xiang Yuyang nodded to Tan Lingxi. "Let's go."

Tan Lingxi looked at Yi Ziyan lying on the ground with resentment. Witnessing Xiang Yuyang's doting on him, Tan
Lingxi's heart ached. Did he love him that much? Then take him away!

"Lingxi?" Xiang Yuyang took two steps, then turned back when he realized Tan Lingxi hadn't followed. Tan Lingxi was still
glaring at Yi Ziyan, and Xiang Yuyang felt a chill run down his spine.

"Love him that much? Take him away, why force yourself like this?" Tan Lingxi didn't look at Xiang Yuyang, her
voice sending a chill down his spine.

"Lingxi, what are you saying?" Xiang Yuyang began to feel something was off about Tan Lingxi. He placed his hand on her shoulder,
but Tan Lingxi suddenly turned, her gaze so sharp it sent a shiver down Xiang Yuyang's spine.

"You really came to save me because you were worried about me?" Tan Lingxi asked, voicing
the thought that had been lingering in his mind. Xiang Yuyang's eyes widened in surprise, then his expression turned to blankness, a
sadness in his eyes as he looked at Tan Lingxi.

"You mean, I came to see Ziyan?" Is that what you mean? Lingxi? You really
think that about me? Is that how you see me, Xiang Yuyang?

"Isn't that right?" Tan Lingxi turned her head bitterly. If not, why were you so
gentle ? If not, why was there guilt in your voice? If you didn't come for him, why can't you
love me?

Xiang Yuyang could hardly believe it. Where was the always rational and clever Tan Lingxi? Where was the always decisive and sharp
Tan Lingxi? Where had his best friend, whom he had always confided in and considered a confidante, gone?
How could this be

? "I came only to take you back." Because he was suppressing the inexplicable pain in his chest, Xiang Yuyang's
voice was hoarse. What did this question mean to Xiang Yuyang?

Lingxi, do you think I betrayed you?

Without looking at Tan Lingxi again, Xiang Yuyang quickly and quietly walked out the door. This wasn't the place to talk,
and if they were going to argue, they shouldn't do it on someone else's turf. Tan Lingxi understood this, and silently followed Xiang Yuyang's steps. The two left the Blackwood Hall
without a sound .

Only when they reached a safe place did Xiang Yuyang slow down, but he had no intention of speaking;
he didn't want to argue anymore. Tan Lingxi followed four or five steps behind Xiang Yuyang, biting his lip without uttering a sound.

He knew he shouldn't have asked; he knew he shouldn't have had such thoughts, because he was
the person who had been by Xiang Yuyang's side the longest. He knew Xiang Yuyang, he always had.

He had hurt him, and Tan Lingxi was filled with remorse. How could he have become like this? Xiang Yuyang had
never lied to him. Even if he loved Yi Ziyan, he had clearly cut ties with Yi Ziyan, hadn't he?
As his friend, didn't he also want Xiang Yuyang to be happy?

Love makes people gentle and sensitive, but also prone to jealousy and anger.

If you can't trust him, what right do you have to say you love him?

She bit her lip so hard that it bled, but Tan Lingxi didn't notice. Knowing
she had hurt Xiang Yuyang, she was filled with remorse and pain. She suddenly stopped. Xiang Yuyang didn't stop,
but slowed down.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have doubted you, Yuyang." Tan Lingxi stood there, her voice clear and
resolute, each word distinct.

Xiang Yuyang stopped. What right did he have to blame Tan Lingxi?

Only because he loved her, and love is never wrong.

Nothing had changed, hadn't it?

Slowly turning around, Tan Lingxi lowered her head, afraid to look at Xiang Yuyang's expression, afraid of heartbreak, afraid
of lifelong regret. Would he still hate her? Like an irrational, jealous woman,
she was utterly useless How ugly was she in Xiang Yuyang's eyes? He dared not, and did not want to, think about it.

Xiang Yuyang stopped in front of Tan Lingxi. Now that he had come to terms with it, he naturally didn't blame him. Looking at Tan Lingxi's
nervous appearance, Xiang Yuyang felt both heartache and pity. So he reached out and gently lifted Tan Lingxi's downcast face. Seeing
teeth marks on his lips, with traces of blood, Xiang Yuyang frowned and gently wiped away the blood with his thumb.

"Look at you, you're injured." His overly gentle actions and tone far exceeded Tan Lingxi's mental preparation,
leaving Tan Lingxi staring blankly at Xiang Yuyang. Xiang Yuyang smiled.

"What are you still standing there for? I really don't understand. My Zhimi is clearly a scoundrel who always fights back, always talks back, has no
class , a terrible temper, is rude and loves to swear, and only knows how to scam people out of food and drink with his looks and petty cleverness.
How could anyone want to kidnap him and come to me for ransom? I'd be too busy giving him away to someone else!"

Every word was clearly insulting Tan Lingxi, but Tan Lingxi's tense spirit completely relaxed upon hearing the content of the words
. He didn't blame me.

This thought flashed into Tan Lingxi's mind, igniting a light in his eyes. Xiang Yuyang looked at Tan Lingxi's gaze,
relieved to know that Tan Lingxi understood, and his smile deepened.

"You know I'll fight back and talk back, and you still dare to say that? Don't you even know yourself? What age are you? Still acting
cute ? Talking nonsense, and you call yourself the leader! All you do is run around aimlessly, dumping all the work on me and
you still dare to criticize me? Xiang Yuyang, explain yourself!"

Tan Lingxi grabbed Xiang Yuyang's collar as if to hit him, but Xiang Yuyang pleaded with a grin.

"Wait, wait, my dear Lingxi, don't be angry, don't be angry, it'll hurt your health."

Tan Lingxi shoved Xiang Yuyang away fiercely and walked forward.

"Go to hell! Don't bother me!" Tan Lingxi didn't let Xiang Yuyang see the tears that accidentally fell from his eyes.
Love might deepen, but Tan Lingxi would rather cherish his love for Xiang Yuyang and be his best friend for life. That
was enough. He didn't ask for anything more.

Xiang Yuyang smiled and quickly caught up with Tan Lingxi, putting his arm around his shoulder.

"He's heavy!" Tan Lingxi complained, but didn't refuse. He glared at Yuyang, who looked back at him
. They both laughed. The moon was setting, the long night was ending, and a new day was about to begin. Things change,
the world transforms , but what remains constant? May this moment remain forever in our hearts, may our smiles endure!

Yi Ziyan woke up when Mu Xiren arrived in the morning. Mu Xiren was furious and berated Xiang Yuyang. Yi
Ziyan could only smile bitterly, unsure what to say. It was his own oversight, and he had no complaints about Xiang Yuyang's actions.
He knew he had no choice; if he were in Xiang Yuyang's shoes, he would have done the same.

Kuroki Shinobu returned with bad news. Due to the Azure Dragon Hall's series of acquisitions, Kuroki's
business had decreased by nearly half. As a result, many of Kuroki's brothers were not only unemployed but also
struggling . Kuroki Shinobu was in a terrible mood; even when Mu Xiren joked and laughed beside him, he didn't react.

"It's come to this point; it's time to settle things with the Azure Dragon Hall,"

Kuroki Shinobu said coldly. Mu Xiren was about to speak when urgent cries came from outside.

"Hall Master! Hall Master! Brother Hao! Brother Hao…!" A boy rushed in, breathless, his hand
injured and bleeding profusely. Kuroki Shinobu looked at him, expressionless.

"What happened?"

"We wanted to confront the Qinglong Gang, but a fight broke out. Brother Hao is seriously injured, he's... he's already dead
. Most of the brothers were also injured. We blew up several of the Qinglong Gang's bars..."

Suddenly, Kuroki Ren reached out and slapped the boy hard across the face.

"Who told you to go and confront them? Hmm?" Yi Ziyan frowned, wondering how it could have gotten so serious. Looking
at Kuroki Ren, he said, "Master, I'll go check." Without waiting for Kuroki Ren's nod, Yi Ziyan
nodded to the injured boy. "Where?" The boy looked timidly at Kuroki Ren, who glared at him.

"What? Are you mute?" "

At... Ye Xuan." This answer stunned both Kuroki Ren and Yi Ziyan. "

Ye Xuan?"

They started fighting at Ye Xuan? Causing trouble in neutral territory—this wasn't something the Master could just settle with a few words!

The usually calm Ye Xuan was now engulfed in gunfire and fire alarms were everywhere.

"Ah Guan!" With a gunshot, a man fell to the ground. Tan Lingxi cried out, but it was too late. Things had spiraled out
of control. Xiang Yuyang gave the order: since the Blackwood Hall had repeatedly provoked them, there was no need for further discussion; if they wanted to fight, they should
fight !

Once they responded, casualties were inevitable. While the two sides were locked in fierce combat, Xiang Yuyang sat alone
in the Azure Dragon Hall, deep in thought.

Who would willingly fight to the death like this? This was never what he wanted to see. Why had it come to this?
He couldn't bear to see his brothers suffer, but how could he
bear ? Xiang Yuyang pondered with distress. Perhaps he really wasn't suited to be the leader. He couldn't be like Kuroki Ren,
remaining unmoved as his brothers died one by one before his eyes. In comparison, Tan Lingxi was much
more decisive. Perhaps he would be a better leader...

Time seemed to stand still for him. Xiang Yuyang's expression softened, and a
smile gradually appeared. If Tan Lingxi were here, he would know that Xiang Yuyang had come up with a solution.

At the same time, in Ye Xuan...

Yi Ziyan's gunfire never stopped, each shot accompanied by a scream. Although he was
unaccustomed to this kind of chaotic battle, his presence certainly increased the chances of victory for the Kuroki Gang.
Tan Lingxi, equally accurate, immediately aimed at Yi Ziyan upon seeing him. Yi Ziyan naturally understood; he
couldn't die here, so he had to protect himself.

The police of Future City naturally wouldn't tolerate such blatant violence. They wanted to
exhaust both sides before reaping the benefits and wiping them out in one fell swoop. Moreover, neither leader had appeared yet, so
they had to wait.

Kuroki Shinobu understood the police's intentions perfectly, so he ordered a retreat while fighting. The same
situation occurred in the Green Dragon Gang, commanded by Tan Lingxi. No one wanted to see their brothers killed or injured, so few were
willing to fight recklessly . As

the fighting gradually subsided, the police began making arrests in the streets. Tan Lingxi busied himself telling everyone to retreat, but his eyes remained fixed on the situation.
Following Yi Ziyan's trail, he deftly changed to a new magazine with one hand, determined to kill him!

Yi Ziyan narrowly dodged Tan Lingxi's shot, inwardly admiring Tan Lingxi's improved marksmanship.
He waved for the Blackwood Gang members to retreat to safety, while simultaneously covering everyone to avoid police pursuit, and
looking for a hiding place himself.

Almost simultaneously, Mu Xiren arrived at the scene in a speeding car. Surprisingly, he threw two grenades at the police.
His eyes fixed on Tan Lingxi's location, a smile playing on his lips, and he threw a small knife at Tan Lingxi. Tan Lingxi
leaned back slightly, caught it, and saw a note on it.

The explosion was deafening.

"Azi! Hurry!" Mu Xiren shouted to Yi Ziyan, and everyone immediately scattered. Yi Ziyan jumped onto Mu
Xiren 's motorcycle and sped away while the police were in disarray.

The note was signed by Xiang Yuyang, but Tan Lingxi didn't have time to think about it. He immediately gave instructions, and all
the Qinglong Hall members also retreated in the chaos. Tan Lingxi looked up and saw Yi Ziyan and Mu Xiren about to leave. Resentful,
he fired a few more shots at their backs before leaving angrily.

By the time the police regained their footing, apart from a few places with flames and streets riddled with bullets
, everyone in Yexuan had already retreated. Looking at the scene before them,
they could only regretfully clean up the mess.

A burning pain shot through Yi Ziyan's right arm, making her pause for a moment before realizing she had been
shot. The burning sensation in his wound was immediately overshadowed by the intense pain, causing Yi Ziyan to break out in a cold sweat despite the agony.
Mu Xiren continued to accelerate, the vibrations of the car amplifying the pain from being shot, almost making Yi Ziyan faint
. However, to avoid worrying Mu Xiren, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Meanwhile, Kuroki Ren waited at the door. He had originally intended to go alone, but Mu Xiren insisted, and it was
inappropriate for to be present at the scene of the conflict, so Kuroki Ren had no choice but to let him go, though he was incredibly nervous.

Finally, seeing Mu Xiren's car appear in the distance, the anxious Kuroki Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Was that Ziyan behind him? He looked… Wait

… As the distance closed, Kuroki Ren's brows furrowed deeper. Looking at Ziyan's pale face, he was clearly
injured . How could he be injured? He still had a mission to complete!

"Rin, we're back. Everyone else has retreated safely." Mu Xiren executed a stylish drift, stopping
in front of Kuroki Ren. This action left Yi Ziyan almost numb with pain. Kuroki Ren looked at Mu Xiren with a hint of reproach,
leaving him bewildered.

"What's wrong?" Yi Ziyan got out of the car, feeling like the world was spinning. He knew it was because he had lost
too much blood. Mu Xiren just felt that Kuroki Ren's attitude was a bit strange. As soon as Kuroki Ren saw Yi Ziyan unsteady on his
feet , he quickly steadied him.

"Ziyan! Tsk!" Only then did Mu Xiren realize something was wrong.

"Azi!"

Yi Ziyan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and fainted.

"How could this happen?" Mu Xiren's eyes reddened with anxiety. Yi Ziyan's back was covered in bright red blood, indicating that he had
been injured at Yexuan. Mu Xiren knew that Yi Ziyan hadn't spoken because he didn't want to worry him, and she felt even more anxious.

"Bear, bear!"

Kuroki Shinobu picked up Yi Ziyan and walked out, Mu Xiren following after them.

"To the hospital!"

In a daze, Yi Ziyan seemed to hear something about the hospital, and with a strength he didn't know where it came from, he grabbed Kuroki
Shinobu's sleeve, "No...don't..."

"What? Ziyan, what did you say?" His voice was weak, and Kuroki Shinobu couldn't hear him clearly.

"No...the hospital..." Yi Ziyan was covered in sweat, and this time Mu Xiren heard him clearly.

"Azi said not to go to the hospital, but Azi, you're bleeding so much..." How can we not go to the hospital!

"Take me home..." Feeling his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred, Yi Ziyan struggled to say his
request, and Kuroki Shinobu frowned.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Bear!" Mu Xiren hadn't expected Kuroki Ren to actually agree to Yi Ziyan's request. Kuroki Ren tore off his
sleeve and tied it around Yi Ziyan's arm to stop the bleeding, then placed him in the back seat.

"Ziyan, bear with it, I'll take you back."

"But..." Mu Xiren hesitated, but Kuroki Ren stopped him.

"Xiren, let's go, don't say anything more."

Yi Ziyan lay quietly asleep. Kuroki Ren and Mu Xiren cleaned the blood-stained clothes and the removed bullet
. Kuroki Ren had removed the bullet. Because of the wound, Yi Ziyan had a fever, and with
excessive blood loss, he hadn't been fully conscious except when the bullet was removed, which had caused him pain.

"Why the sudden decision to stop both sides?" Mu Xiren gently closed the bedroom door and followed Kuroki Shinobu out
, her mind filled with questions. Kuroki Shinobu pulled a letter from his pocket. Mu Xiren took it; it was from Xiang Yuyang, addressed to
Kuroki Shinobu himself.

"This is...?" Mu Xiren opened the letter and began to read, her expression growing increasingly surprised.

"...What?" In the letter, Xiang Yuyang expressed his regret over the outcome and
proposed a solution, though it sounded somewhat... unbelievable.

"You agree?" Mu Xiren finished reading the letter and glanced at Kuroki Shinobu, who sat silently to the side.

"It's a good method." Kuroki Shinobu didn't seem to disagree, and Mu Xiren was still incredulous.

"Do you understand what this method means?"

"Of course." Kuroki Shinobu remained calm. Mu Xiren unconsciously shook her head. "No, I don't want to! There must
be another way to solve this! I don't want this!"

This argument was something I impulsively agreed to, so I am naturally responsible for the resulting deaths and injuries. I think even Kuroki
Hall Master wouldn't want to see more people sacrificed. This situation is not what I want, nor is it
a permanent solution for the coexistence of Kuroki and Qinglong Hall. If I can represent Qinglong Hall to take responsibility, and Kuroki Hall also requests a representative to step forward, I think
we should put an end to our conflict. Let everything end here.

This is what Xiang Yuyang wrote in his letter.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Kuroki Shinobu naturally understood Xiang Yuyang's meaning. However, even Kuroki Shinobu...
Unexpectedly, the time had come so quickly, and it was Xiang Yuyang who proposed it.

Yes, his assassin had a job.

"Ren!" Mu Xiren couldn't believe it. Kuroki Shinobu's expression told him that this matter was decided,
with no room for maneuver. But... he was his best friend!

"Are you really going to do this?... You want to make Azi..." Mu Xiren paused, seemingly considering whether to say
it , but finally decided to speak, "to send her to her death?

" Kuroki Shinobu's gaze was fixed on Yi Ziyan's half-closed doorway, his expression filled with helplessness.

"He's your best friend, isn't he? Can you bear to let him die?" A knife-like pain swept through
Mu Xiren's heart as he spoke the words. Mu Xiren's throat tightened, and tears welled up in his eyes. Kuroki Shinobu turned around, looked at those tearful
eyes, sighed helplessly, and reached out to wipe away the tears that always pained him.

"Of course I don't want that, Qing, you know that, but I want Ziyan to be happy." His rough, large hands gently
cupped his lover's face, pulling him into his embrace.

"Of course I want Azi to be happy too, but I don't want him to die." Wasn't there any other way?
Why did it have to be this way to be together?

"Do you want them to live like this forever?" Kuroki Shinobu asked, voicing Mu Xiren's most conflicted thoughts.
"Do you want Ziyan and Xiang Yuyang to be entangled like this forever? Are you willing?" "

I..." Mu Xiren was speechless. He truly didn't know how to answer this question. Xiang Yuyang
was clearly an enemy...

"If it were us today, what would you do?"

Mu Xiren's heart skipped a beat. If it were Shinobu... If it were Shinobu...

"I want to be with you, regardless of anything, without caring about anything... But..." But I don't want to betray
Kuroki-do, I absolutely don't want to...

"But you don't want to betray me, right?" Kuroki Shinobu finished the sentence Mu Xiren hadn't uttered
. Mu Xiren remained silent, which was a tacit admission.

"I'll do the same, Qing. I'll give you everything, everything." Kuroki Shinobu gently kissed Mu
Xiren's cheek, and Mu Xiren was deeply moved.

"Shinobu...

" Their lips met lightly. At this moment, they cherished each other even more and realized their own happiness.
As long as they could be together, what more could they ask for? What more could they want?

The scene was still so clear, and even the feeling of their first contact still made his heart flutter.
Just as he had said, he had no regrets about meeting him, not at all.

Apart from the sadness of the fleeting happiness and the barrier of time and space, the future without an ending was the answer that was right in front of him.
It seemed that he couldn't say anything more. He just didn't want to say goodbye.

"..." His face was still as pale as snow, his delicate brows furrowed slightly. In his dazed state, he seemed to hear someone
speaking, as if someone was calling him. He tried hard to hear clearly.

"...Yan, Ziyan, wake up." It was Ren, Ren was calling me. I understood that tone. I have a job now,
right? I know, I know...

"Hmm..." Yi Ziyan opened his eyes. The pain in his right hand made it impossible for him to concentrate. It was as if he were in a dream.
Kuroki Ren's voice seemed to come from across the water, both distant and unclear.

"Ziyan, you have a job now." Kuroki Ren whispered in Yi Ziyan's ear, feeling sorry for him still having a fever,
and hating himself for being powerless to change the situation. Yi Ziyan had always helped him, giving so much, and he
couldn't repay him in any way.

Slowly processing Kuroki Ren's words in his mind, Yi Ziyan gradually smiled. That smile, so radiant and beautiful,
brought tears to Mu Xiren's eyes and made Kuroki Ren's eyes redden.

"I...can I go see him now?"

"Yes, you can go see him, Ziyan." Yu Yang, Yu Yang, can you hear me? I can see
you now. Are you already waiting for me there? Wait for me a little longer, I'm coming, I'm coming back to your side.

This time, I will never leave you again.

"Ren, give me an injection, it hurts so much." Yi Ziyan asked, her voice barely audible, yet clear and
firm. Mu Xiren could no longer hold back her sorrow and burst into tears.

Taking medicine from the first-aid kit in the car, Kuroki Ren gave Yi Ziyan an injection of painkiller. Her brow
gradually relaxed, and Yi Ziyan got up, changing into clean clothes, her pure white attire dazzlingly bright.

"Xi Ren, don't cry, there's nothing to cry about." Slender, white fingers ran through Mu Xi Ren's dark hair
as she hugged Yi Zi Yan tightly.

"A Zi, A Zi, I don't want to, I don't want to..." Yi Zi Yan chuckled softly.

"Thank you, Xi Ren, I'm very happy, really." He then turned to the silent Kuroki Shinobu, "Shinobu,
thank you for tolerating my willfulness. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you anymore."

Kuroki Shinobu's smile was sorrowful. "Only at a time like this will you call me by my name. You're really stubborn,
Zi Yan." Hearing Kuroki Shinobu's words, Yi Zi Yan still chuckled softly.

"You've done so much for me, it's enough. Zi Yan, I owe you." Hearing this, Yi Zi Yan
shook his head, picked up the gun beside him, and loaded the magazine.

"Ren, you don't owe me anything. I should thank you for your sacrifice, and thank you on his behalf too."

Pushing Mu Xiren away, Yi Ziyan placed his hand in Kuroki Ren's. Mu Xiren wept uncontrollably.
Walking slowly past the two, Yi Ziyan felt an unusual calm. He had only one thought: to see him,
to see him.

"Azi..." Mu Xiren tried to call out to Yi Ziyan, turning back to give him a knowing smile. Yi Ziyan
suddenly spoke.

"You two must be very happy!"

And so, everything would end.

Yi Ziyan quietly opened the door. How long had it been since he last came here? He couldn't remember,
but it didn't matter anymore, because this time, he wouldn't leave again.

Xiang Yuyang hadn't arrived yet. Yi Ziyan walked into the bedroom. The bed still smelled of him, which made Yi Ziyan unable to resist
throwing himself onto the bed, burying his face deeply in the pillow, and breathing in the long-lost, comforting
scent . At this moment, he heard voices outside, as if there was a commotion.

He walked to the door and looked out through the mirror. He saw Xiang Yuyang, Tan Lingxi, and
several Qinglong Hall cadres whose names he couldn't recall but whom he recognized. A faint smile played on his handsome lips. He
knew perfectly well what the people outside were arguing about, so he simply walked away, not listening any further.

"Lingxi, it's no use, stop talking." Xiang Yuyang resolutely rejected Tan Lingxi's persuasion for the umpteenth time.
Tan Lingxi was both anxious and angry. Seeing this, Xiang Yuyang sighed.

"No matter what you hear outside, don't come in, and don't make a fuss. I'll
come out , do you hear me?"

"But..." You won't come out, because you're here to be killed, aren't you? Tan Lingxi cried out in her heart,
but couldn't speak. Xiang Yuyang waved his hand, telling Tan Lingxi to stop talking.

"That's it. After this is over, no matter what, you're not allowed to lay a hand on me again, promise me."

Everyone looked at each other, hesitant.

"Promise me!" Xiang Yuyang was a little anxious, because he had to...

"Promise me!" Tan Lingxi looked up at the man in front of her. Heaven knows how long and how deep her love for him had been,
and now, he was being asked to promise to watch him commit suicide with another man.

"Lingxi!" Xiang Yuyang urged, "This is the last thing I'm asking you for, can't you promise me?"
Tan Lingxi looked at Xiang Yuyang bitterly.

"I promise you, but you also have to promise that you'll get through this safely." I

have no right to say I love you, no right to ask you to do anything for me, but I still want to beg you, I beg you to
live well in front of me. Hearing the request, Xiang Yuyang merely smiled faintly, reached out and pulled Tan Lingxi close, gently kissing his
forehead, and whispered, "Silly Lingxi, thank you, and I'm sorry." I know
how good you are to me, but my heart is too small; it can only hold one person. I'm sorry for making you suffer.

Xiang Yuyang released Tan Lingxi, turned and went into the house. The moment he closed the door, Tan Lingxi could no longer hold back
his tears.

Xiang Yuyang, you bastard! Bastard! You're so treacherous! How could you do this? How could you just leave like that?
Leaving only a thank you and that's it? Disgusting, disgusting...

"Zi." Entering the bedroom silently, Yi Ziyan was lying on the bed. Hearing Xiang Yuyang's soft call, he
immediately sat up, seeing his lover, and smiled brightly.

Xiang Yuyang opened his arms, and Yi Ziyan threw herself into his embrace without hesitation. They held each other tightly,
showering each other with soft kisses that fell on Yi Ziyan's face, neck, and shoulders.

"I missed you so much, I missed you so much," Xiang Yuyang murmured between kisses, and Yi Ziyan
responded . "Me too, me too, Yang...

" Their lips, finding the warmth of longing, clung to each other, never to part. They kissed thirstily, as if trying to drain
each other of all their love, yet it flowed endlessly, inseparable.

Their lips parted slightly, and Yi Ziyan's left hand reached into his pocket—his gun, his promise.

"I'm going to fulfill my promise." He pressed Xiang Yuyang onto the bed, straddling his waist, the gun pressed against
Xiang Yuyang's chest.

A true assassin, the gun was always aimed at a vital spot. This was a fact Yi Ziyan understood, a lesson
he had been taught: when a gun was fired, it had to be deadly.

Xiang Yuyang's gentle smile made Yi Ziyan momentarily lose his composure. He reached into Xiang Yuyang's pocket, pulled out his
gun, and handed it to him.

"I am yours, everything." He gazed deeply at the person before him, his lover. They
would together, never to be separated again.

Xiang Yuyang gently moved the gun away from Yi Ziyan's left chest, leading his hand to his abdomen.

"Fire here. I want to hold you." Yi Ziyan was surprised by Xiang Yuyang's actions.

"But it hurts..."

"It's okay. I want to see you. I want to see my blood on your clothes. I want you to always remember,
remember that I love you, my love."

Gently stroking Yi Ziyan's cheek, Xiang Yuyang once again declared his unwavering love for him.
Almost simultaneously, they cocked their guns, pointing them at each other.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

As if confirming their love, their eyes locked on each other, and they pulled the triggers at the same time.

Gunshots echoed through the silent building, leaving Tan Lingxi and the others outside staring blankly at the door, their minds filled
with Xiang Yuyang's repeated instructions: don't come in, no matter what you hear.

"No!"

Instead of the expected burning pain, Yi Ziyan froze. Xiang Yuyang's blood splattered on his white coat,
like plum blossoms blooming in the coldest winter. Was it a blank?

Xiang Yuyang was drenched in cold sweat from the pain, but he still struggled to raise his hand. Tears welled in Yi Ziyan's eyes as she
tightly gripped his bloodied hand, kissing it repeatedly.

"You lied to me, you lied to me..." Raising the gun to her temple, Yi Ziyan was about to pull the trigger
when Xiang Yuyang stopped her.

"No...love...please don't..." My life is yours, and yours is mine, but I don't want you to die.
In the end , I can't bear to. It's my selfishness...

"You're so awful..." Yi Ziyan pressed hard against the bleeding wound on Xiang Yuyang's abdomen, tears streaming down her face.

"I don't want...you to die...I'm sorry..." Xiang Yuyang felt something inside him being
stripped away with the blood, his consciousness gradually blurring, Yi Ziyan's voice fading into the distance.

"I love...you...love..."

"Yuyang! Yang!" Yi Ziyan shouted, his first thought being to go with him. Just as he pressed the gun against
himself again, a scene flashed into his mind.

It was Xiang Yuyang embracing him, playing with his hand and talking, saying he wanted to hold his hand and stroll
freely a date, without caring about anyone's gaze or who they were.

"Come on, Yu Yang, let's go on a date." Yi Ziyan picked up Xiang Yu Yang in one go. Because Xiang Yu Yang
was tall, his feet touched the ground a little. His right hand started to hurt. Yi Ziyan knew that the wound had reopened, but
he didn't care about anything else. He just wanted to fulfill Xiang Yu Yang's wish.

As soon as the door opened, Tan Lingxi saw the scene he least wanted to see.

"Yu Yang!"

Yi Ziyan, however, seemed oblivious to everyone else, carrying Xiang Yu Yang forward. His unwavering determination and resolute expression made
Tan Lingxi and the others, already in tears, silently watch him enter the elevator, then follow him in.

Stepping out of the elevator, Yi Ziyan slowly walked onto the street. The sunlight was dazzling, but Yi Ziyan smiled gently at
his lover , speaking softly.

"Yu Yang, look, the weather is so nice today."

Stepping out of the lobby, they saw some Qinglong Hall brothers outside. In the distance, Hei Muren and Mu Xiren were also approaching.
Seeing their leader covered in blood being carried out by assassins, they didn't care about anything else. Someone fired the
first shot, followed by three or four others who also fired at Yi Ziyan.

His legs buckled, and then another bullet struck his arm, making it impossible for Yi Ziyan to hold Xiang Yuyang any longer. He collapsed onto Xiang
Yuyang, gasping for breath.

"No, I can't die. Yuyang's wish...we must be together...

" "Stop! Stop! Don't shoot!" Hearing the gunshot, Tan Lingxi, who was following behind, frantically tried to stop everyone
from firing .

"Azi!" At this moment, Kuroki Ren and Mu Xiren arrived. Mu Xiren, seeing Yi Ziyan covered in blood,
excitedly tried to rush forward, but Kuroki Ren held her back.

So everyone silently watched the two lying in a pool of blood on the ground. Yi Ziyan struggled to his feet,
stubbornly grasping Xiang Yuyang's hand, and slowly and laboriously walked forward, dragging Xiang Yuyang along,
leaving .

"Yu...Yang, did you see...a rainbow..." Yi Ziyan's vision blurred, but she still
forced herself to pull Xiang Yuyang forward. At that moment, no one noticed a change in the two as they walked further apart.
Xiang Yuyang's hand trembled, his fingers gradually closing to grasp Yi Ziyan's hand. Their hands clasped together,
as if proof, asking the blue sky and rainbow to bear witness for them. "I said I love you. From the first moment I saw
you, those words were etched in my heart. Now, please let us be together, please let us be together, and
never let go again...

" Epilogue

: A year later, the people of Future City continued their indulgent lives. Some things, perhaps not necessarily
for better or worse, had changed.

There was no more Azure Dragon, no more Blackwood Hall. The two organizations merged peacefully. No one
bothered to name the new group, because there was no longer any need.

From initially reluctantly accepting Tan Lingxi's advances to trying to understand her, and eventually becoming friends, Kuroki Shinobu, Mu Xiren, and
Tan Lingxi all shared a common question:

What happened to Xiang Yuyang and Yi Ziyan?

No one knew, because their bodies were never found, and they were nowhere to be found.
It was like a dream; once it ended, it vanished.

On the night of the carnival, the crowds were still surging, and it was time for fireworks.

"Hey, move over a bit, I can't see!" Mu Xiren rudely pushed Tan Lingxi aside, but Tan Lingxi
refused to back down.

"I'm going to stand here, so what?" A defiant eyebrow raise ignited Mu Xiren's anger, and he was about to retort when
Kuroki Shinobu helplessly covered his mouth.

"Look, the fireworks are about to start!"

The three looked up simultaneously. Brilliant fireworks exploded in the clear night sky, scattering dazzling light.
A gasp of amazement rose from the surrounding crowd, and amidst the clamor, the three simultaneously heard this conversation:

"Hey, look over there!"

"What... Ah! How can it be... So beautiful..."

"An angel... in white..."

"And that one over there, who is..."

The three looked towards the source of the conversation. Another wave of fireworks shot into the sky, and in the instant they burst into flames, they all
saw it: the angel always dressed in white, and his lover, their figures intertwined, nestled together, bathed in the brilliant light of
the fireworks , like a dream...
