Seeing that the two in front of him were fighting with no regards to their lives, Gong Ye could only call Liu Xi to leave together with them. And at this time, the guards and guards who heard the commotion had already arrived, allowing the emperor to heave a sigh of relief.

Before he left, he took a glance at the location where Qian Li was at previously, she had already disappeared, but she was running rather quickly, and did not have the time to clearly see whether or not she had died.

The sounds of fighting outside seemed to have nothing to do with the two people at the bottom of the well. In any case, the distance was too far, even an extremely sharp ear like Qian Li wouldn't be able to hear it, let alone Gong Jue.

After working hard for almost an hour, the water level finally started to rise and quickly covered both of their bodies. In order to prevent Qian Li's injuries from getting any more water, Gong Jue had to put in a lot of effort.

He only saw that when the water level just surpassed Qian Li's calves, he had already used Lightness Exercise to fly up a little.

He knew his own limits very well and knew just how high his Lightness Exercise could fly in this situation, so he stayed there for a bit longer, before digging out a relatively lesser amount of water and placing Qian Li in there.

The things she made at the last moment were not very sturdy, and it was impossible for Qian Li to stay on top of them steadily, so he used this time to attack her surroundings and reach a higher position so that Qian Li could grab onto them.

The position of his feet would often become unsteady due to the impact of the water flow. Originally, Qian Li wanted to say that it wouldn't be so troublesome, but when she saw this child's serious expression, she felt somewhat unwilling to interrupt his hot-blooded state.

So Qian Li changed her words, "You should rest for a bit, it's been a few hours, if this goes on, your body won't be able to take it."

Hearing this, Gong Jue seemed to be very happy, "This is the first time I've heard of someone besides Big Brother being concerned about me, it's really hard to come by."

Qian Li suddenly felt her heart ache for this child.

Of course, this person might be older than him in this life, but there were many times when Qian Li felt that as a person with two lifetimes, she was older than most people.

Furthermore, in her previous life, she was indeed older than Gong Jue by a few months.

Thus, in her eyes, this person was a child.

"Actually, as long as we hurry out, our wounds would be fine even if they were contaminated with water. After we get up there, we'll be fine."

These words were of course meant as a consolation. From the previous reaction, Gong Jue did not seem to be a person who frequently came into contact with these bloody things. Therefore, Qian Li judged that all the knowledge he knew actually came from books.

I've never really practiced it in my life.

Sure enough, after hearing what Qian Li said, Gong Jue was extremely confused, "Is that so? But why do I feel like this statement is wrong? Furthermore, the book also said that the wound must not be touched by water, and you, who are already inflamed, are even more unsuitable. "

"Who says that the person who writes the book must have practiced everything? A lot of people make it up, but what if you see the book? "

"Is that so?" Gong Jue held the dagger in one hand and really stopped walking for the time being. He was really tired.

Unable to understand whether what Qian Li had said was true or not, she had no choice but to give up this idea.

He felt that he only had this little bit of benefit left.

Even though he was a prince, he had never been someone to be trifled with. Many times, when he couldn't think of something clearly, he would not let himself feel uncomfortable. Instead, he would just turn the tables and forget about it.

If he saw the result or understood it in the future, he would treat it as a surprise. If he didn't, he wouldn't be bothered by it.

As a result, his focus shifted very quickly.

"But you see, my efforts have not been in vain. "The water level has been rising rapidly, and the places I stepped on seemed to have taken effect."

Qian Li nodded her head, "My initial estimations have already exceeded the limit of a battle. If we keep going at this pace, or if you make any more noise later on, we should be able to leave this place tonight."

These words were the biggest hope for the two trapped men.

Gong Jue only rested for a short while before he started to move again.

In his words, "One more hole and the flow of water will become bigger, and the time we have to leave will also be shortened a bit. I don't ask them to shorten it to just a moment, but according to our current situation, being able to leave earlier is already an extremely good thing for us, right?"

Qian Li nodded her head, and then seemed to have thought of something, and casually opened her mouth to ask, "There's something I wanted to ask you from the moment I saw you, it's just that the pain from my wound just now was too great, and I forgot to mention it.

Gong Jue nodded, and looked upwards with great difficulty while holding the Night Pearl. Actually, Qian Li had already seen a stair like thing protruding ten meters away, but in order to not completely expose herself, she did not say anything.

Because she knew that Gong Jue would quickly find out.

"What problem?"

"I'm very curious, how did you manage to appear in front of us so punctually and save me?"

Qian Li did not believe that this was a type of coincidence. After all, in this world, there weren't so many strange things.

"Actually... I've been following you. "

Hearing this, Qian Li did not have much of a reaction, her and Gong Ming's martial arts were not bad, if there really was someone following them from behind, they would definitely be able to discover, unless it was someone whose martial arts were truly strong and excessively strong.

Indeed, Gong Jue's next sentence confirmed Qian Li's thoughts. he said. " I originally wanted to follow you guys, but you guys go ahead first, I followed the route you guys took to search, but I still couldn't find any trace of you guys. Just when I was about to give up due to depression, I suddenly saw Gong Ming and the guard covered in blood, but I didn't see you.

Qian Li's eyes flashed slightly. She had always felt that something was amiss with regards to this matter, but now, it seemed that there was really a little problem.

"So it was actually the Ninth Prince who told you where I was?"

"That's right, he still asked me to save you."

Her heart thumped, Qian Li suddenly thought about Gong Ming's expression, she suddenly felt like she had forgotten about something very important.

At this moment, this feeling had been buried deep within his heart, as if it would soon break out of its cocoon, but he was always a little bit lacking.

She steadied herself, and the water once again flowed over her toes, quickly spreading upwards.

She thought and thought.

Gong Ming told himself that he wished to be friends with Yue Yang. But why, when he said he really wanted to be friends with him, did the look in his eyes not seem happy at all?

Not only was he unhappy, he even felt that there was something …

What kind of feeling was that …

Qian Li closed her eyes to think, she had a nagging feeling that she would think of it soon.

However …

"Qian Li, there seems to be a staircase up there. I'll send you up first."

The sudden voice dispersed everything in Qian Li's mind. She opened her eyes regretfully, and felt that Gong Jue was already hugging her. Perhaps it was because Gong Jue could feel that her body was extremely cold, causing him to frown slightly.

"That thing seems to be very stable. You can sit down. The water level won't rise that much in a short period of time. You should take a good rest."

Qian Li nodded, "It's just nice, I feel a little cold."

A flash of pain passed through Gong Jue's eyes, he couldn't help but hug Qian Li tighter, after jumping for a few times, the two of them landed on the additional stairs.

However, he did not let go of Qian Li immediately. Instead, he said seriously, "If you feel cold, hug me tight."

Qian Li was surprised, and couldn't hear it clearly, "What?"
