Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates

Chapter 237: Feeling of Depression

"Xiao Ning! You're awake!"

When Qi Tiezui heard the voice, he immediately jumped up from his chair and gave up his seat.

Yin Xinyue's surprised voice came from the door far away, and Chu Ning raised his eyes with a smile.

"Sister Yue~ It feels like I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yin Xinyue paused for a moment, then responded with a smile, "So, you'll move back here?"

"Xinyue, how could you kidnap someone in front of me?"

Before Chu Ning could answer, a slightly dissatisfied but unusually gentle voice came into his ears.

"Madam, I haven't agreed to Sister Yue yet."

Chu Ning hurriedly spoke to comfort her, but the girl chuckled helplessly. However, Yin Xinyue glared at Chu Ning.

"Tsk~ I really worry too much.

Some kids shouldn't take advantage of their injuries to say things I don't like to hear."

Chu Ning shrank his head and looked at Qi Tiezui for help. Qi Tiezui coughed and avoided Chu Ning's pitiful gaze.

He can't afford to offend any of the people behind these two ladies, and this kid has dug a hole for himself again!

So Chu Ning shut up obediently, intending not to offend anyone.

The worries that Yin Xinyue and the girl had felt in recent days were gradually eased by the joking conversation.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention Chu Ning's injury, and they just briefly mentioned their concerns so as not to burden Chu Ning.

Qi Tiezui asked weakly, "Madam, where are the Buddha and the Second Master?"

The girl came in later, so she explained softly, "Chenpi... went to find the Second Master.

Buddha..."

The girl's voice was almost inaudible when she spoke here. Yin Xinyue's heart suddenly tightened. Although she had expected the result, she still felt that Lu Jianxun had gone too far!

Qi Tiezui looked at Chu Ning. He didn't say it at first because he was afraid that Chu Ning would blame himself, but he couldn't hide it in the end.

Chu Ning's hand under the quilt gradually clenched into a fist, which eventually affected them.

"Master Buddha...did you sign something with Lu Jianxun because of my matter?"

Yin Xinyue peeled the apple in her hand heavily, "Don't blame you! Even as an outsider, I know that he deliberately set a trap to trick Master Buddha!

"It's impossible to be a thief for a thousand days, but I can't be a thief for a thousand days. At worst, I can go back to Beiping and ask my father for help."

The girl gently placed her hand on the back of Yin Xinyue's hand, and looked at Chu Ning soothingly.

"You, don't be angry, just believe them.

It’s a happy thing that Xiao Ning just woke up.”

Qi Tiezui bowed and said, "Then the two ladies, I will go out to greet Master Fo and Master Er first.

See you later, Xiao Ning~"

Chu Ning smiled and waved. Yin Xinyue raised her hand to block Chu Ning's gaze, "Don't look at him. He's already lost you once."

Chu Ning opened his mouth and said, "Sister Yue, no, it's my own problem!"

He knew that Yin Xinyue had no ill intentions and was not blaming Qi Tiezui.

"So...what did Master Buddha sign with Lu Jianxun?"

Suddenly Chu Ning's face turned pale, he covered his chest with his hands, and looked at Yin Xinyue with a frown.

"Did Master Buddha admit that he went to the tomb?"

Yin Xinyue bit her lip, and a look of hesitation flashed across her face, which was keenly caught by Chu Ning.

Chu Ning closed his eyes. As expected, there was no way to hide or escape.

The girl couldn't bear it, so she raised her hand to cover Chu Ning's forehead, "Xiao Ning, Master Buddha just can't bear to see anyone get hurt again."

At this moment, even Chu Ning's lips were white. He understood, but he just felt uncomfortable.

“Ma’am…I understand.

But I couldn't stop him, and Lu Jianxun didn't ask me anything, but it caused Master Fo and Second Master to run around.

He has already got the leverage over Buddha, and that leverage is me.

No matter what the Buddha's purpose is, it is all to protect me. Only by protecting me can he continue to protect the people around him without compromise.

I... I just feel like I have become the 'weak spot' that Lord Buddha is threatened by. Lord Buddha and Second Lord are both dragged down by me."

Chu Ning felt depressed, and even his voice was nasal.

The girl moved her hand away, then tapped Chu Ning's forehead with a smile.

"Why do you take everything on yourself, kid?

They saved you because they cared about you, and they cared because it was you.

I want you to be our 'weak point' so that no one will bully you."

Chu Ning looked up, and Yin Xinyue smiled and handed a bumpy apple to Chu Ning, with a threatening look in her eyes.

"The girl is right. If a child is upset, he won't grow tall. Eat this and go back to sleep for a while. We'll call you when they come back later.

By the way... I know you recover quickly, but you still need to rest well."

Chu Ning took the apple from Yin Xinyue, and felt even more depressed.

After watching Yin Xinyue and the maid leave the door, Chu Ning endured the discomfort and almost escaped from the bed and hid in the corner of the closet.

Then he let himself be enveloped by darkness.

He always had a question in his mind: what if the person captured by Lu Jianxun was just a personal soldier?

Would Zhang Qishan admit that he had been to the tomb for the sake of a personal soldier?

Will Er Hong go to the Huo family to plead for the sake of a commoner again?

I should be happy that I have gained the trust of the person I protect, but why do I feel so uncomfortable?

If I were just an ordinary citizen, I would have never saved Er Hong's wife, I would never have protected Zhang Qishan from the hair germs in the tomb, I would never have revealed my special body to Jiu Ye...

Chu Ning felt a little cold, and the words of the girl and Qi Tiezui kept echoing in Chu Ning's mind.

"Because it's you... because you're worthy... they care about you..."

Where does this "care" come from and what are the reasons for it?

Chu Ning knew that he was stupid and couldn't lie, so he naturally wouldn't hide anything and was very easy to trust people.

But when facing Qi Tiezui, Chu Ning found that he subconsciously didn't want to ask.

Everything was like a ball of yarn caught by a cat. Chu Ning wanted to feel the emotion of being exploited from it, but there was none.

Chu Ning wanted to capture the emotional bond from it, but there was not much.

This kind of emotion was something Chu Ning had never felt before... a contradiction.

At this moment, Chu Ning was really like a child trapped in the fog. Everything around him was gray. When he reached out to touch, he could only feel the coolness between his fingers.

Chu Ning even reflected on whether the "protection" mentioned by Zhen Yuanzi was really what he understood it to be. What exactly is the "luck" of the "Son of Luck"?

In the end, the only thing that made Chu Ning happy was that it was him that was captured by Lu Jianxun, and he had long been accustomed to numbness and pain.

As Chu Ning questioned himself, he fell into a deep sleep without knowing when.

The wounds and bruises on Chu Ning's body, which had almost fully healed, reappeared on his body at this moment.

Just like time went backwards, that mysterious power suddenly began to stagnate...
