Qu Ling was woken up by the sounds of argument, he rubbed his head and straightened his body, rubbing his waist that was sore from sleeping.

He did not know how many times, but he subconsciously asked, "What time is it?"

Eighth Prince answered her, "I don't know!"

Qu Ling returned to Xiao Jingyue's embrace as he squinted at Murong Shan and Xiao San who were arguing for some reason.

In this kind of stone passage, normal speech was extremely clear, not to mention that the two of them were arguing, it was so noisy that even her ears hurt.

Qu Ling said somewhat helplessly, "Miss Murong, I say …"

Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Murong Shan gritted his teeth and interrupted her: "What did you say, shut up!"

Xiao Jingyue glanced at her with an indifferent expression. The warning in his eyes caused Murong Shan to shudder.

In the end, Murong Shan was still afraid of him. She shrank back a little and quickly retracted her gaze, saying stiffly: "The Gu has already been used, and you're also alive, what's wrong with that? Do you want me to watch you die in front of me because you saved me? "

"If I were to use this method to survive, I would rather not!"

Xiao San roared as he gnashed his teeth. He walked to Xiao Jingyue in large strides, bent his knees, and knelt down.

Xiao Er who had been silent the entire time did not have the heart to look at the expression on his face.

Xiao San lowered his head, he did not dare look at Xiao Jingyue, and after opening his mouth for a long time, he was unable to say a single word.

In the empty stone passage, the sounds of argument finally died down. However, the oppressive atmosphere silently spread out.

Due to the fact that Xiao Jingyue had been tortured by the poison since he was young, the Southern Guarding Prince Palace was guilty of forbidding anyone from touching the parasite.

Xiao San relied on the insect poison to revive him, and it was even more so not something that could be allowed by the Southern Guarding Prince Palace.

After he left, Master would definitely not take him with him again.

Since the day he entered the Southern Guarding Prince Palace, he had sworn his loyalty to the son of the Southern Guarding Prince, Xiao Jingyue, his entire life. As a Dark Guard, if he were to be chased away by his master, what was the point in him living?

After all, this was a matter of the General Mansion. Eighth Prince did not look at it.

Xiao Jingyue quietly looked at Xiao San, half of his face was hidden in the darkness, causing people to be unable to see his expression clearly.

Murong Shan looked at Xiao San, who looked like he wanted to commit suicide by cutting his own stomach off. With a pale face, he bit his lower lip and turned his back.

Qu Ling lowered his eyes, buried his face in Xiao Jingyue's bosom and gently pulled at Xiao Jingyue's sleeve.

Even though the parasite was planted by Murong Shan, she had intentionally taken it out. She had predicted that Murong Shan would definitely use it for her.

No one can blame her for being heartless, but they needed Xiao San right now, and Xiao Jingyue needed Xiao San too!

Xiao Jingyue lowered his eyes to look at the woman in his embrace, and said lightly: "This matter can be discussed after returning to General Mansion."

The meaning of his words was to let Xiao San maintain his current state and live on.

Seeing that Xiao San was still kneeling, Xiao Jingyue said: "Alright, get up."

Xiao San still kept his head down and did not move.

Seeing that, Xiao Er went forward and pulled his arm, and pulled him up.

Before Xiao San could stand up straight, a loud "dong" sound came from the direction of the exit.

Everyone immediately looked for the source of the sound.

Xiao Jingyue's eyes became stern, and he suddenly raised his hand, covering Qu Ling's ears.

A loud sound could be heard in the passage as the deafening sound echoed in all directions.

Other than Xiao Jingyue, who possessed powerful martial arts, and Qu Ling, who was covered in his hands, and Xiao San, who was resurrected by Gu Worm, Xiao Er, Eighth Prince and Murong Shan, all paled from the sound of the explosion. Eighth Prince and Murong Shan even spat out a mouthful of blood.

When the voice disappeared, the group collapsed onto the ground, supporting themselves with the stone wall.

Qu Ling pulled Xiao Jingyue's hand and suddenly stood up, walking towards the exit.

"Madam!" Xiao Jingyue frowned, and immediately followed suit.

Eighth Prince did not follow him. After resting for a while, he walked to the side of the follower and squatted down, then extended his hand to check the big arteries in his neck.

Shortly after, he withdrew his hand and sighed.

He had left the capital this time to investigate the collapse of the Huai river embankment, so in order to not make things difficult for the people, he did not bring many people with him.

Now, only one person was left alive, dead or missing.

He had condescended to bring people here from the worry-free lanterns. He had wanted to leave a trusted aide behind so that he would not have to leave without one of his own.

He didn't expect that he would be unable to save the last one.

Qu Ling walked forward, only to see a thick cloud of smoke appearing in front of him.

He even had the chance to probe further when his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. The man's familiar voice came from behind him, "Don't go over there."

Just as Qu Ling was about to turn around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eyes.

Xiao Jingyue shouted in displeasure, "Do you know that..."

"Xiao Jingyue, does this look like it is …" Qu Ling interrupted him and placed the object in his hand in front of Xiao Jingyue.

Xiao Jingyue suppressed his anger and looked down.

It was a grass like plant. Judging by the shape of its leaves, it seemed like …

Xiao Jingyue's eyes congealed, and he replied in a heavy voice: "Worryfree Lamp."

This was a Worryfree Lamp, a Worryfree Lamp that had yet to flower.

Qu Ling looked at the worry-free lamp in his hand, and then looked at the thick mist, and suddenly lowered his head.

Originally, the Worryfree Lamp was lying there, but there were also a few rocks of different colors lying beside it.

Flower and stone, this is...

Qu Ling's mind raced as he thought of something. Before she could capture the answer, Xiao Jingyue revealed the answer: "Formation Aperture."

This was the exit upstream of this cave. The loud sound just now should have been the sound of the mountain rocks being blown apart.

Perhaps it was due to the explosion of the cave entrance that the formation within the cave entrance was destroyed, resulting in the appearance of these items.

It had taken a great deal of effort for the formation to be broken apart, but the hole was actually blocked off by the explosion. This was truly bad luck.

Qu Ling placed the Flowerless Lantern into his bag, and said to the few people who had caught up: "We can't get out of this exit, let's find another way out."

Eighth Prince's face turned extremely ugly, "Can't go out?"

Xiao San went forward to take a look at the white cloud of dust that had thinned out a little, and said: "The entrance of the cave has been blown up, and is blocked."

Hearing that, the Eighth Prince could not stand steadily, his expression gloomy as he looked at the dense fog, and asked: "Could there be another way out here?"

From the fork in the entrance all the way here, there were no other forks in the road, and there was almost no way to find them.

Now, the only exit was blocked by the explosion. There were also two gravity doors behind them, so how could they get out?

He still had so many things that he hadn't done yet. How could he … Buried here!

Xiao Jingyue ignored the Eighth Prince. Raising his eyes, he looked at Murong Shan who was standing at the very back, and coldly shouted, "Murong Shan, lead the way!"

Murong Shan's entire body froze, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes opened wide in disbelief, meeting Xiao Jingyue's extremely cold eyes.

When he felt the undisguised killing intent in his eyes, his pupils violently contracted. He tightly gripped the hands by his side, as if he didn't know pain, and allowed his long nails to almost sink into his flesh.

After a long time, her lips trembled and her mouth opened. "You …"
