The sage was determined to die.

If it were the first time Yan Ming had heard such shameless words, he might find it very difficult to accept.

However, now that he has heard it more often, he is obviously much more accepting and has gotten used to it.

I just rolled my eyes inwardly.

After a while, Yan Ming suddenly realized something and said, "Wait, if we don't leave him behind, won't I have to do more work again?"

In response, Ji Bai gave him a very calm look.

Yan Ming: "..."

He knows it!

……

"Brother Yan, do you really want me to do this together?" Gongsun Yang asked tactfully.

"What, you don't want to?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Ming's eyes widened instantly.

"You really don't want to? I never would have guessed you were such an ungrateful person." Yan Ming looked at the man in front of him with a shocked expression, a mixture of shock and disappointment.

"Brother Yan, you've really misunderstood me."

Gongsun Yang tightened the rope in his hand, glanced slightly at the person lying on the ground, and slowly said, "Brother Yan, I am but a lowly scholar from a small country. I have never thought of currying favor with such a great figure. If he were to find out my identity in the future, he would probably feel humiliated to be dragged across the ground by me..."

Hearing what the other party said, Yan Ming's expression softened slightly, but he still felt that something was amiss.

"According to you," Yan Ming pointed to himself and said, "isn't it strange that I pulled?"

Gongsun Yang said with a serious expression, "Brother Yan and I are like the difference between a golden saddle and a straw saddle. How can a prodigy like you and a poor scholar like me be the same kind of people?"

"To put it in a common saying," Gongsun Yang said seriously, "this is the reason why the noble are noble."

After being flattered, Yan Ming subconsciously felt that what the other person said wasn't entirely unreasonable. But after realizing what had happened, he found the other person's reasoning to be particularly strange.

Why does this logic seem so twisted...?

"wrong."

Realizing what was happening, Yan Ming shook his head and frowned, saying, "Aren't they all saddles? What's the difference?"

When did this guy become so smart...?

Gongsun Yang awkwardly touched his nose. The two chatted for a long time, eventually ending with each taking half of the conversation.

……

Unlike the other two, who were relaxed, Wang Zhixuan was still somewhat panicked.

Just as he had predicted, the man was exceptionally greedy and was definitely not an ordinary person.

The other party accepted his things, and although they felt a pang of conscience and didn't kill him on the spot, leaving him to fend for himself, they certainly weren't being polite.

Right now, half of his face was completely covered, and he couldn't see anything outside at all. The three of them were also cunning, and they spoke in very low voices, as if afraid that he would not be able to hear a single word they said.

Even without listening closely, you can still get a sense of what they're trying to say; they're just thinking about how to deal with him in different ways...

Wang Zhixuan felt as if a stone was hanging in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

"Damn it," he thought, "what should I do..."

As his bodily functions gradually recovered, Wang Zhixuan tried to raise his hand again. His festering body slowly responded, and his fingers began to move.

However, it was so stiff that it was very difficult to lift it up.

Just as Wang Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief, the man's voice rang out again.
