Even a person like him, who grew up in luxury, would not understand these feelings that Qian Li had. Even in the years of war many years ago, when people of the world were unable to sleep well, as the prince whom the emperor doted on, he had not suffered much. Even during this period of time, the rate of consumption of food and clothing in the palace had decreased by a lot, but his stomach, which he had never been hungry for more than half a day, was already his limit.

As a result, seeing Qian Li like this, he pouted her lips for a long time, but in the end, he still did not know how to reply.

Qian Li did not plan for him to accept it, she only said all of this to change the topic and to express her sincerity.

Now, it was enough for one's goal to be achieved.

"Why would I say these words to you, Third Prince? There's really something …"

"I like it when you tell me this." Gong Jue quickly cut his off, and said, "Previously when I was sneaking out to play, I also met a few beggars, but maybe it was because I never kept a low profile when I went out, and there were always people by my side, although I have met them a few times, but I never really came into contact with them. If it wasn't for Qian Li telling me all these, I would never have known, that in this peaceful times, there were actually so many beggars who could not eat their fill.

"It's also good for Third Prince to know that Qian Li's words are true." Gong Jue's words made Qian Li feel a little surprised.

She didn't feel that it was difficult for Gong Jue to know anything at all. Indeed, these princes had grown up in the imperial palace since young, and she did not know how many rules there were in the imperial palace. When they grew up, they would be slightly better, so they would have a better chance of leaving.

He seemed to be rich and powerful, but in reality, he was not free at all.

Those who didn't know what was going on outside tried to squeeze their way in, but they didn't know that those who were inside were desperately trying to get out.

"Although I don't really feel the same way about what you just said, I promise you that if I see those little beggars in the future, I will definitely not look down on them like before."

Hearing this, Qian Li felt gratified. After that, Gong Jue's following tone of voice made her sink into an awkward situation once again, and she said, "I might be able to understand the feelings you have for Ninth Royal Brother, but … I won't give up on you like this. "

Qian Li laughed a little embarrassedly, then said, "Forget it, let's not talk about these things for now. Let's take a good rest first, and I'll also tell you about the things I know about this mysterious clan. I hope it will be of assistance to us when we leave this place."

Seeing Gong Jue's nod, Qian Li began to speak, "Actually, the first time I heard of this race was many, many years ago …"

Just like this, they talked for several hours and their clothes were almost dry after being roasted for a period of time. By now, their clothes were much more refreshing.

As for Qian Li's body, after being cleaned and bandaged again, it became a lot better. After resting, both of them recovered a lot more.

"It seems like this snake meat is quite good." After saying that, Gong Jue stood up, "I've seen the hole we fell into, it was sliding, there was no mechanism to climb up, I'm guessing that place is also a place that can only be entered but not exited from, furthermore, the mouth seems to be sealed, otherwise, the water would have seeped in long ago."

After saying that, he continued, "It seems like the things you told me about before will come in handy. We have to explore this weird place. "

Qian Li nodded her head, and then gave her hand to Gong Jue who had already reached out to pull him up. She didn't know what the man was thinking, but at least here, he was definitely someone she could trust and who she had no choice but to trust.

Qian Li didn't know if this person's previous performance in front of her was all true, but she knew that she did not treat him wholeheartedly either. Since that was the case, she would not truly investigate whether Gong Jue's words were true or false.

That is, she believed whatever Gong Jue told her.

"Then, Qian Li, are you ready?"

Qian Li nodded, "It's good to leave earlier."

Seeing that Qian Li's attitude was not bad, Gong Jue was relieved. He bent down and picked up his sword, and there were still some traces of Qian Li roasting the snake on it.

The corner of his mouth twitched, and he felt a slight twinge of heartache.

"This was given to me by the Royal Father when he was still alive. He said that it was some peerless sword but I didn't expect it to become your kebab."

Qian Li pursed her lips, "Those firewood are very dusty, and if they were not roasted with your sword, I am afraid Your Highness would not have been able to eat it, right?"

"Alright, let's not talk about that, but Qian Li, you are injured, so in a while, we can discuss how to leave and you can lead us, but for things like leading, just leave it to me."

"You're a prince, how can I let you take the risk? No, I'll be in front."

"If you don't listen to me, then we'll split up."

Although this person was afraid of the so called legendary ghosts and gods, separating from others was not something he would do. Qian Li felt that the two of them really could not be separated at this moment.

Firstly, Gong Jue had not done anything excessive to him so far. She did not want to implicate him.

Secondly, it was likely that quite a few people had seen and knew that the Third Prince had gone missing because he came to find him. If she was still alive, and something were to happen to Gong Jue, then she wouldn't be able to live after he left.

Therefore, whether it was in public or private, Gong Jue could not die.

Therefore, Qian Li had to compromise, "You can be at the front, but no matter what you see, you can't be rash."

Receiving Qian Li's permission, Gong Jue appeared to be very open, "I'll listen to you."

The two of them walked along the path and found that the underground palace seemed to be extending from underground. Fortunately, although the weather was getting wet, the fire by the side of the road did not go out.

The path wasn't very wide, but it was definitely narrow. It could only fit two people side by side. Along the way, it was paved with limestone, and there weren't any special paths.

Unlike when they first entered, the ground here was getting more and more humid, and even walking on it gave off a ghastly feeling.

Along the way, there were some inscriptions that the two of them could not understand.

"This is most likely their history. I didn't expect them to record it in such a way."

"You can understand?"

Other than feeling that these patterns were very strange, Gong Jue couldn't understand them at all. Qian Li also thought that it was strange, but she wasn't surprised that she could understand it, rather, she could actually understand some of it.

Clearly, in her memories, her understanding of this mysterious race had stopped at the books that the common folk had collected many years ago. However, she wanted to make up for it by looking at the pictures and text, then she suddenly seemed to understand it …

Although it wasn't all, but it was already... Very strange.

Not wanting to let Gong Jue know about this, Qian Li hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth to explain, "Someone had taught me before, I can't understand everything. I can only guess based on these diagrams."

Just at this time, the two of them suddenly stopped in their tracks, and Gong Jue, who was in front of them, unconsciously took a few steps back, and even unsheathed the sword in his hand.

"What's wrong?" She reached out her hand and unconsciously pressed down on her wrist. If she did not remember wrongly, when she was bathing previously, after her body came into contact with the hot water, a strange pattern would appear on her arm …

She hadn't been able to figure out what it was before, but she suddenly felt like she understood something.

Could it be …

Was the body that he was occupying really related to this race?

According to what she had just seen, Qian Li knew that this mysterious clan, which was the people of her tribe, had undergone an extremely major change in the past decade. Afterwards, everyone moved, and as for where they had moved to, Qian Li had not seen it until now.

But...

Why didn't Qian Li have any impression of it in her memories, other than being able to understand the picture language, and also not being able to understand anything else? An increasingly intense feeling of familiarity and strangeness washed over him, as if … Nothing else had changed.

At this time, after hearing Gong Jue's words, Qian Li finally regained her senses and looked towards the direction he was pointing at …

See...
