"Hmph, Chen Bin is just an old bastard. I was blind to have chosen him as my mentor!"

"Xiaoya, why are you still defending Chen Bin? He...he didn't...force you..."

Brother An's two sentences seemed to have touched on some taboo.

Xiaoya screamed hysterically in an instant: "Ah!!! That's not how it is, stop talking!"

He immediately slumped onto the sofa, clutching his head in pain and muttering to himself.

"No, Teacher Chen is a good person... Xiaoya did it willingly. Xiaoya has always had a crush on Teacher Chen. Xiaoya doesn't want to leave Teacher Chen. Xiaoya wants to be Teacher Chen's good little puppy forever..."

"Xiaoya! What's wrong with you? Please wake up."

"Waaaaah... Senior Brother An, please take me back, okay? Let's go save Teacher Chen and my classmates."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Xiaoya looked up upon hearing this and quickly retorted, "But... you only heard about the underground fortress at Lishiquyuan from Teacher Chen a few days ago. That fortress should belong to Teacher Chen!"

Upon hearing this, Senior Brother An straightened up.

His gaze was gloomy as he spoke in a deep voice: "Bullshit!"

"The fortress was designed by his short-lived younger brother, Chen Jian, and the construction team was hired from abroad at a high price!"

"This fortress has absolutely nothing to do with Chen Bin!"

"He just happened to be lucky enough to see his brother's diary!"

Seeing that Xiaoya still looked unconvinced, Senior Brother An had already lost his last bit of patience.

"I'll ask you one last time, Xiaoya: I'm the one who discovered this exit, and I'm the one who secretly rescued you. Are you coming with me or not?"
