“If you don’t want to follow me, then it’s fine. Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. But if you don’t want to follow me, then you can’t stay here anymore.”

When Qin Tianming heard Ye Xingchen’s words, he called out “Brother Ye” without hesitation.

He had nowhere else to go. He and Qin Gongming lived in a small apartment far away from here. Although he was only a child, he was not a fool. He knew what was going on outside and he knew that he could not go back by himself.

Before Qin Gongming died, Qin Gongming had brought him out of this safety fortress several times.

At that time, it was still snowing outside.

If it weren’t for the fact that they were built on top of a mountain, they would have been buried by the blizzard.

At that time, Qin Gongming had brought Qin Tianming to sweep the snow at the entrance of the safety fortress.

Standing at the edge of the forest and looking down, Qin Tianming had heard Qin Gongming sigh beside him more than once.

Not to mention that he couldn’t go back when he was alone, even when Qin Gongming was still alive, he couldn’t bring him back.

Qin Gongming didn’t let them go home because he was afraid that Wang Mingcong would get angry if he suddenly came and saw that no one was serving him. Another reason was that Qin Gongming had worked with them for so many years. Although he was only the butler of this safety fortress, he had long treated them as his friends and family.

The snowy mountain road was wet and slippery. Although the mountain was not very high, it was definitely not low either, tailing down from here would kill him.

It was not that Qin Gongming did not want them to leave, but the weather was strange and extreme. He was just afraid that something would happen when they went down the mountain, so he insisted on not letting them go out or go home.

However, the lack of food became more and more strange day by day, causing everyone to complain.

In the end, not only did everyone nor appreciate Qin Gongming’s kindness, bur many people even pointed at Qin Gongming and scolded him as an old fool, who was causing everyone to be trapped there and unable to go home.

Then, Qin Gongming was killed by Mo Guanshan.

Previously, Qin Tianming really had no choice but to seek death. However, it was different now. Ye Xingchen suddenly appeared, he was like a ray of light that suddenly shone into his dark world.

Who would want to die if they could live?

When Qin Tianming heard that, not only did he call Ye Xingchen Brother, he even stood up from the stone stool and knelt in front of Ye Xingchen.

“I’m willing to listen to you in the future. No matter what it is, even if you want me to die.”

If not for Qin Gongming, he might have died long ago.

If not for Ye Xingchen’s meal, he might not have lived long.

He would either starve to death or be killed by Mo Guanshan and his men.

Either way, he seemed to be going to die.

In the end, Ye Xingchen actually gave him a chance to live again. Qin Tianming was excited and touched. He immediately kowtowed to Ye Xingchen a few times.

“There’s no need to be so polite. I, Ye Xingchen, don’t keep idle people. If you work for me, I’ll give you food to eat.¹‘

“Since you said that you came here with Qin Gongming whenever you are on vacation, does that mean that you are very familiar with this place?”

Qin Tianming nodded.

“Yes, my father brought me around the place before because he wanted me to take over his position when he was old, so 1 can be the butler here.”

Ye Xingchen could not help but give himself a thumbs up in his heart.

Look, look, my luck and my decision were really good.

At first, he only thought that it was rare to meet a child with a superpower. He thought that he might be able to use his invisible superpower in the future. He did not expect that he had other uses besides this.

It seemed that he had a butler in the future. However, he did not know if this butler could be trusted for the time being. Moreover, he was a little young for now.

“Okay, then how well do you control your own ability?”

Qin Tianming hesitated for a moment. “I’m not very familiar with it yet. I can only control my invisibility now.”

Ye Xingchen pondered for a moment. It seemed to be enough for rhe time being. He estimated that he would have to stay here for a night.

“Alright, you’re full now. Get up and digest your food. Lead the way and show us rhe most important places here.”

Ye Xingchen didn’t expect to inspect every corner in one night. After all, this place was too big, and he still needed to rest, even if he might nor sleep here tonight.

He was worried that he would fall asleep too deeply. He didn’t trust anyone, nor even Lin Sijia, who had lived with him for so long.

“Do you know how many people are still alive here? You must have been running around a lor, right?”

“There aren’t many left. 1 think there are only about 30 of them. The rest were all killed by Uncle Mo.”

“I didn’t run around either. I was almost killed once. Thar time, Uncle Mo was in front of me with a knife. I was so scared that I fainted.”

“Then, when I opened my eyes again, 1 realized that I had become transparent.”

Ye Xingchen pondered as he listened. It seemed that Qin Tianming had awakened his ability at that time. It seemed that he was almost scared to death by Mo Guanshan.

“Kid, you’re pretty gutsy.”

Ye Xingchen, who was walking behind Qin Tianming, couldn’t help but tease. “You’re so timid, yet you still want to steal food? You wanted to eat it secretly just now, right? Are you really not afraid of being caught and killed by me?”

Qin Tianming could not help but blush when he heard Ye Xingchen’s words.

He really wanted to take a bite when Ye Xingchen wasn’t paying attention because he was too hungry.

“I’m sorry, Brother Ye. 1 was too hungry. I thought that 1 wouldn’t be discovered, but in the end, 1 was still discovered by you.¹¹

Qin Tianming blinked and turned to look at Ye Xingchen. “But it’s so magical. 1 was clearly invisible, so how did you find me, Brother Ye?”

“I sneaked away from Uncle Mo and the others before, but they didn’t see me. In the end, you actually grabbed my wrist in an instant. I was almost scared to death just now!”

Ye Xingchen smiled and did not say anything. Instead, he followed Qin Tianming step by step.

More than 30 people. Ye Xingchen recalled that he had only killed a dozen people just now..
