"How can I gain your trust?"

In the end, he chose to believe, because Qin Fang had already seized the absolute advantage. Starting from a position of strength, to even discuss conditions with him was, in itself, a sign of great respect.

It was precisely for this reason that Black Night found it quite easy to make his decision.

Refusal would naturally lead to a dead end.

Neither he nor Qin Fang could possibly allow such a powerful adversary to walk away, it would be like releasing a tiger back to its mountain, which would surely bring endless trouble in the future.

Agreeing, on the other hand, meant he could preserve his life, and even gain many benefits from Qin Fang. The only conundrum was... how to convince Qin Fang that he was genuinely pledging allegiance.

"It's simple. Currently in Jiangzhou, many want to kill me. As long as you and I join forces to eradicate them all, then what you hold will be yours... Even if you wish to leave in the future, I will not stop you!"

Upon hearing Black Night's words, Qin Fang knew he had agreed. He simply stated his requirements for Black Night's alliance.

The jade vial contained none other than the Peerless Elixir Golden Dragon Saliva, a rare and precious treasure. Although Qin Fang was not a stingy person, he could not give such a treasure to Black Night before he had proven himself trustworthy.

And with Black Night's physical condition at the time, even if Qin Fang handed it to him, he couldn't keep it. It would be easy for Qin Fang to reclaim it by force...

"Not a joke?"

Black Night laughed slightly. Although he was fairly certain of this, he couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"What do you think..."

Qin Fang did not reply, for Black Night already knew the answer in his heart, and saying it out loud was meaningless as everything was clear.

"Fine, then my life is yours now..."

Though becoming a subordinate made him feel a bit stifled, at this moment, Black Night inexplicably felt a sense of relief, as if he was very satisfied with his decision.

"Then we are brothers from now on..."

Qin Fang, not one to be overly formal, extended his hand to Black Night, indicating his intention to help him up.

At this moment, the red glow on Black Night's body had completely faded, and the murderous intent was long gone. Otherwise, Qin Fang might not have been so proactive.

"Brothers..."

Upon hearing this unfamiliar word, Black Night paused momentarily, but quickly collected himself, forcing his body to grasp Qin Fang's hand. With a slight exertion from Qin Fang, Black Night found himself standing up involuntarily...

Feeling this overwhelming and almost irresistible strength, Black Night realized that Qin Fang was far more terrifying than he had imagined, as if one foot was already stepping into the Grandmaster Level, surpassing him by a whole tier. And yet he had foolishly attempted to assassinate him, essentially asking for his own doom!

"This is yours..."

After being pulled up by Qin Fang, despite the excruciating pain throughout his body, Black Night managed to endure it and returned the small jade vial to Qin Fang.

Qin Fang did not refuse. Everyone was clever enough to know what needed to be done, and everything was understood without words.

"Don't move, I'll treat your injuries first..."

After stowing away the small jade vial, naturally back into the Props Box, Black Night saw it, but the light made it difficult for him to see clearly.

Still, he didn't mind much. Although the item was precious, it did not belong to him yet. Holding it meant nothing, and leaving it with Qin Fang felt more reassuring.

"Hmm?"

But as soon as his mind wandered, he suddenly heard Qin Fang's words, causing him to pause slightly, looking curiously at Qin Fang.

Yet Qin Fang did not respond to his thoughts. With a flip of his wrist, several Silver Needles appeared in his hand, and with lightning speed, they were inserted into Black Night's body.

"Hiss~~"

As the Silver Needles pierced his body, Black Night experienced something out of the ordinary. A piercing chill seemed to emanate from the depths of his spinal cord.

His body instantly froze, yet the pain throughout his body diminished noticeably, with some areas even becoming completely numb.

Of course, since his body was almost entirely rigid, Black Night could barely move. If Qin Fang wished to kill him at that moment, it would be all too easy...

At this moment, Black Night realized that the boss he had just chosen to follow was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Possessing strength nearly comparable to a Grandmaster Level, impeccable illusions with barely any flaws, and such a mysterious and unmatched Acupuncture technique...

Black Night couldn't help but wonder what other astounding skills this boss of his might have, though he knew he wouldn't get to see them now.

In Qin Fang's hands, the Silver Needles fluttered like butterflies among flowers, constantly flickering across Black Night's body. Just looking gave one a sense of dizzying beauty, yet it held a unique artistic appeal, at least in Black Night's eyes, who saw it as an art form...

Most importantly, as Qin Fang's needling slowed, the stiffness in Black Night's body gradually eased, and the bone-chilling cold warmed up.
