With the map, the journey ahead went smoothly. After avoiding many traps and mechanisms, they arrived at the deepest part of the secret chamber, where a pool of flowing silver water had a circular stone platform in the center. On a pillar on the platform was an exquisite wooden box.

Feng Guang asked Xue Ran, "How do we get there?"

This silvery water looks dangerous.

"Let's take a look." Xue Ran picked up a pebble and threw it into the water. Before the pebble even touched the surface, the water seemed to come alive and completely covered the pebble, silently dragging it into the water.

Feng Guang grabbed his hand and took a step back, "This is too dangerous!"

"Don't be afraid." Xue Ran squeezed her hand. He looked at the markings on the map for a while, then picked up another pebble. This time, he threw it at the box in the middle. The pebble carried his internal force, causing the box to shift slightly.

Suddenly, the floor shook, and a stone bridge slowly rose from the silvery water, connecting the two banks. Feng Guang stared in disbelief at this magical scene. She looked at Xue Ran, who smiled at her and led her onto the stone bridge.

The box on the stone platform wasn't locked. She stroked her chin. "Maybe... we can open it and take a look. Grandma Tang shouldn't mind, right?"

"Don't move." He grabbed her outstretched hand. "Be careful, there might be a trap."

Feng Guang hurriedly withdrew his hand. "But... there's no other way to go, and there's definitely something wrong with leaving this box here."

Xue Ran thought for a moment, then took out a pair of silver gloves from his pocket, put them on, and, noticing Feng Guang's curious gaze, explained with a smile, "These are silver gloves. They can catch any sharp weapon and prevent the invasion of any poison. Most of the things in the Tang Clan contain poison, so it would be very dangerous to touch them with bare hands."

She nodded in understanding.

Xue Ran reached out with his gloved hand to open the box. Unexpectedly, there were no hidden mechanisms or weapons. Inside the box lay a seemingly ordinary box. He reached out to take it out, but suddenly sensed something was wrong. He quickly pulled Feng Guang behind him, and the wooden box opened up in all directions. Sure enough, the box changed, revealing countless small holes. From each hole shot out a silver needle with lightning speed, making it impossible to avoid!

Suddenly, Xue Ran moved, catching or brushing away the silver needles with his silver-gloved hands. His movements were swift and graceful, and his white robes fluttered as if a god had descended to earth. Even in a moment of crisis, he exuded a sense of beauty that was pleasing to the eye.

She admired herself for being able to swoon over a crush even at a time like this…

Soon, the silver needles fell to the ground. She had been well protected and remained unharmed, staying behind him the whole time.

Xue Ran turned around, "Miss Xia, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." Feng Guang shook his head, but suddenly noticed cold sweat on his forehead and a trace of blood seeping from his chest. "Xue Ran, you're injured!"

Xue Ran pulled the silver needle from his chest and forced a smile, saying, "It's nothing..."

After saying that, he knelt down on the ground.

Feng Guang knelt down to support him, and when she saw that the blood was the wrong color, she exclaimed in surprise, "The silver needle is poisoned!"

"So... this is the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. It never misses." Xue Ran felt his strength rapidly draining away, but in the face of Feng Guang, he tried his best to appear nonchalant. "Tang Clan's hidden weapons are all poisonous, so don't worry. Have you forgotten that I can cure all poisons?"

Feng Guang was on the verge of tears, "But we're trapped here now, how are you going to get us out?"
