Listening to her furious cursing, Li Xiaochen knew she seemed extremely angry. He stood up uncomfortably, gave her a deep look, and walked out without saying a word.
Lin Yuxin glared at his retreating figure, thinking, "One day, I'll make you kneel down and sing 'Conquer'!"
Lin Yuxin snorted coldly, turned around to look at these things, and with a wave of her hand, everything inside disappeared and was stored in her spatial storage.
After Lin Yuxin finished doing all this, she walked outside.
Let's go!
Lin Yuxin walked up to Li Xiaochen and said something in a low voice, then took the torch and walked outside.
Li Xiaochen raised an eyebrow as he watched her come out empty-handed, then glanced inside, which was also empty. He looked away, staring in surprise at Lin Yuxin's retreating figure.
He guessed that Lin Yuxin had a way of taking so many things away without anyone noticing, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. Where did all those things go? What other supernatural powers does this woman have?
However, Li Xiaochen was a smart man. Since he had fallen in love with this woman, he would gradually uncover her secrets.
Li Xiaochen snapped out of his thoughts and started to catch up with Lin Yuxin.
Lin Yuxin was furious and didn't want to talk to Li Xiaochen at all. She took the torch and strode outside.
Li Xiaochen didn't mind and followed behind her, watching her angry back, finding it amusing.
The two came out shortly afterward, but as soon as they reached the cave entrance, an arrow shot in.
Seeing this, Lin Yuxin had no time to react, and it was too late to dodge. Li Xiaochen took a step forward and pulled Lin Yuxin away, but the arrow grazed Li Xiaochen's arm.
After Lin Yuxin stood up, she noticed blood on Li Xiaochen's arm and asked anxiously:
"Are you injured?"
"It's alright. Xueying has probably been discovered. This mountain stronghold is definitely heavily guarded now. You stay here and don't come out. I'll lure them away."
Li Xiaochen pressed down on Lin Yuxin's shoulder and said quickly.
If the two of them stay here, they will both be captured. No matter how skilled he is in martial arts, he may not be able to protect her.
Lin Yuxin pursed her lips. She knew this was the best way. Her martial arts skills were not high, and Li Xiaochen would only be a burden if he took her along. Separating them might give them a chance to escape.
She suddenly regretted taking the risk for those treasures.
Ignoring the risk of being exposed, she took out a lot of first-aid medicine from her spatial storage and slapped it down on him, saying:
"Take these with you. They are medicine for injuries, just in case. Your situation is special, so try not to get seriously injured, otherwise it will be dangerous."
Lin Yuxin urged him on, fearing that he might be teetering on the brink of death due to his injury.
"good!"
Li Xiaochen suddenly raised his hand and gently patted Lin Yuxin's head. His expression softened, and then he withdrew his hand, turned around, and rushed out.
Lin Yuxin stood there, stunned. What did he mean by gently patting her head just now?
Could he really like her? But he's already gone, and she can't find out anymore.
Lin Yuxin has lived two lives after all. Although she has never been in a relationship, she must have read romance novels!
Although Li Xiaochen has a cold personality, in the book he is a ruthless person who would never risk his life for anyone.
But he jumped off the cliff right after her today. She could think it was for treasure or to catch these bandits, but what about just now?
He had absolutely no reason to put himself in danger for the sake of a woman.
Thinking about this, Lin Yuxin felt a little incredulous and couldn't believe it. Did this dignified regent really like her? Then what was the meaning behind his giving her the cold shoulder all the way?
Oh well, never mind. I'll ask you in person when I have the chance, so I don't have to make wild guesses here.
Lin Yuxin felt that men's thoughts were too hard to guess, so she decided not to try.
She snapped out of her thoughts, peeked out, and saw that there was no one outside. It seemed that Li Xiaochen had lured them away. After thinking for a moment, she decided to go to the exit to see if the iron chain passage was open.
There are only three of them now, and even escaping is a problem; they can only call for reinforcements.
Lin Yuxin walked out along the route she had come from. Along the way, she saw many people lying on the ground. Lin Yuxin squatted down to check and found that they had all been drugged and had fainted.
Someone must have eaten first, and after the drug took effect, they were discovered, so the others didn't eat the food containing the drug. Xueying was probably discovered as well.
Because there was blood in some places, it must have been from when Xueying fought with them.
I don't know where Xueying is now, or if she's injured. Never mind, I'll go get reinforcements first.
Lin Yuxin ran all the way to the exit, encountering several bandits along the way, all of whom she poisoned to death. She didn't want to kill anyone, but at this moment, being soft-hearted would mean certain death.
Lin Yuxin silently recited the sins twice in her mind, and then ran to the top of the iron chain passage they had come from. Following her gaze, she found that the mechanism opening was above the passage, where there was a giant gear that needed to be turned.
[Holy crap! Are you kidding me? How am I, a woman, supposed to spin this?!]
After seeing things clearly, Lin Yuxin now has something she doesn't know whether she should say or not!
With no other option, Lin Yuxin resigned herself to her fate and climbed up, finally managing to get to the top.
"Whoosh!"
The moment he poked his head out, a knife was held to his neck.
"Don't move!"
A sharp, masculine voice rang out.
Lin Yuxin froze instantly, a wave of fear washing over her. She had almost had her throat slit just now!
"Come on up!"
Lin Yuxin had no choice but to carefully climb up, and then she could see that there were two bandits here, one of whom was holding a knife and guarding the switch.
