"How are you?" Qian Li was rather curious and she moved her body a bit. Then, she obediently watched as Gong Jue cut off the small piece of clothes on her stomach with his dagger.

The flesh was already beginning to turn out, but fortunately the bleeding had stopped.

"Actually, I just like to admire their beauty. When I'm with them, the most I can do is listen to their playing, singing, dancing, etc. I've never done anything as intimate as this before. "

Qian Li suddenly realized, that was truly pure enough. It seemed like she had been affected by the rumors and her view of this person was too objective.

"Then... Why didn't the Third Marquis try to explain it? "

Hearing this, Gong Jue immediately waved his hand, because his movements were a bit hurried and almost dragged Qian Li's wound with him. Qian Li swept her eyes over the wound and saw that there was no blood flowing from it, and she did not tear it open either, as if she did not sense Gong Jue at all.

He opened her mouth anxiously, "You can't tell me this matter. Seeing that we have all lived and died together, Miss Qian Li, if one day we are able to leave this place, you must help me keep it a secret."

Qian Li had already guessed the answer, but in order to understand more about what these princes could do to survive, she pretended to not know, and asked, "And why is that?"

Hearing this, Gong Jue's face flashed with a sense of superiority, as if he was considering whether to say it or not, and also as if he was considering the consequences of speaking out.

However, he was clearly not as scheming as Gong Ming, and after a while, he replied, "In fact, even though the princes are always bright, but in secret, we are always hanging our heads, and we are not even sure if they would just behead us because of some fake words, in fact, not just me, even the Emperor, and the Ninth Prince that you are most familiar with, all of us are more or less living in masks, and it's just that it's a little more or less serious, just a little less serious.

Qian Li nodded her head, it was indeed like that. She was not clear about Gong Ye's condition in his previous life, but now, she could be considered to have completely understood this person.

As for Gong Ming, he had even more experience in that regard, so it should be the same for the other princes who were still alive but not taken seriously, right?

But at the moment, the person Qian Li was most curious about was the Second Prince.

That man who was carefully protecting Gong Jue behind him, who had an eight sided and exquisite personality, what did he look like?

"Yes." Just as Qian Li was thinking hard, her wound suddenly hurt, and she could not help but snort. Gong Jue also immediately let go of his clothes that he had not completely cut off.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you? "

Qian Li shook her head, "It's no problem, but if it's possible, can Third Prince speed up a little?" It was just a small piece of clothing, and he had been working on it for a long time without being able to get rid of it.

With such a level of concentration, it was on the same level as when she was sewing previously.

"Oh, okay." The current Gong Jue no longer had the threatening looks he had on the outside world, but instead, looked like a small brother next door who was very obedient.

After that, seeing that he was seriously treating his wounds, Qian Li did not say anything to disturb him. It was true, her endurance was not bad, but she could not hold on for much longer.

Actually, she felt that it was best to cut down many things quickly. If she was extremely careful and did it because she was worried about the pain, slowing down her pace would only make it more painful.

After everything was done, Qian Li and Gong Jue rested by the side. The temperature inside was really low, and the two of them felt a bit cold, but luckily, other than the clothes, the rest of the people who came out also put on their outer robes.

"Qian Li. Do you think we're going to die here? "

In this place, the only good thing was that she did not need to worry about being discovered, as after relaxing, she would feel very tired and sleepy, so when Gong Jue asked this question, Qian Li was already about to fall asleep.

"There seems to be a mechanism up there. After we fell down, we were sealed, and I checked as well, and we fell down for a long time, so even if I recovered all of my strength, with my outstretched hands, it would be absolutely impossible to fly out. I also saw that both sides were very smooth, and there was not even a single vine left, and as for inside, I checked before you woke up, there is no exit, no secret passage, and no empty space, so …" If no one discovers us, we'll die here, won't we? "

Qian Li squinted her eyes into a slit as she asked, "Then, are you afraid of death?"

"No one would be unafraid of death, right? Could it be? Qian Li, you're not afraid? "

Qian Li shook her head, "I value my life very much." Of course, she wasn't afraid of death. If it weren't for the deep hatred she still bore from the sea of blood, she wouldn't even know why she was still alive.

Thus, what she meant was, she treasured life.

But Gong Jue did not understand the meaning behind his words, "That's right, I said it like that, people are cowards in the face of death, who wouldn't be afraid of death?"

Qian Li nodded, "Mn, so we will definitely leave this place alive."

Hearing this, Gong Jue's entire person seemed to be in high spirits, his eyes lit up. The gaze he used to look at Qian Li with, was practically like that of a wolf that had starved for a long time.

His gaze was as pure as a wolf's.

Of course, there were still some differences.

The wolf was there to eat meat, and Gong Jue was there to live.

"You know the way out?" Did you know this place before, or did you mention this place to Ol 'Nine? "

Qian Li frowned, feeling that this person's thoughts and actions were actually just that of a child who had not grown up. She explained, "This is my first time here, how would I know?"

Gong Jue was instantly like a deflated ball. He mumbled, "If you don't know, then you're dead meat."

Qian Li realized that, at times, Gong Jue had really been a little simple-minded. So she asked, "Third Prince, did no one tell you a thing?"

Gong Jue was in low spirits, "What?"

"You can't look too highly upon others. Life is your own, so you can't place your hopes on others. When you encounter a predicament, the first thing you think of should be saving yourself, not waiting for others to save you."

"This …" Gong Jue did not understand, and honestly replied: "But no one has ever told me this before."

This sentence had completely blocked Qian Li's path, and no one had ever told her this principle. The only reason why she had done this before was simply because she had experienced countless of hopes and disappointments.

This kind of feeling, speaking privately, she actually didn't want Gong Jue to experience it too.

Thus, she stopped talking and only said one sentence, "In short, don't hold too much hope in anyone else. Often times, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. It's better to just beg others."

"Even the person closest to you can't be trusted with all of his heart and soul?"

Qian Li nodded, "In this world, you can only unconditionally trust yourself, because only you, would not betray yourself."

"But …"

Qian Li waved her hand, interrupting him, "I'm really very tired right now, how about we rest first? When I wake up, I'll definitely take you out. "

"But …"

"There's no such thing as' but '. Without physical strength, you won't be able to leave even if you find a way, right? So now, don't say anything and don't think about it.

After saying that, Qian Li immediately closed her eyes, she felt that at this moment, even speaking was an extravagant request. Of course, when she said such a guarantee, she couldn't guarantee that she could use such a method to leave, but if she didn't try, who would know if she couldn't?

But what Gong Jue said was not wrong. This well was extremely deep, and if even his Lightness Exercise could not get out, then it could be seen that using her method would require even more strength.

What they needed to do the most right now was not talk, but rest.

One of the reasons, she had mentioned earlier, was that without physical strength, he could not leave. As for the second reason, that was …

Without food, even if they had a way to leave, after a long time, they would starve to death.

Qian Li had already closed her eyes. Even if Gong Jue doubted or was curious, he could only swallow his emotions at this moment.

Because, at this moment, Qian Li's condition, was indeed the most important issue that he was most worried about.

It wasn't because they felt heartache, but because their relationship wasn't that deep. Rather, it was because in this strange and dark place, if there wasn't a single person by their side, they would feel even more terrified.
