Bao Jingye felt a slight sense of relief, but inwardly he couldn't help but feel disgusted with himself. Why did you have to talk so much! You said everything you should and shouldn't have said, and now look what happened, you've only made trouble for yourself.
However, if he had known that this was the only way to keep them, he probably wouldn't have hesitated!
Thinking about this made me feel a little more at ease.
There's nothing to worry about!
This scene was bound to happen sooner or later.
Besides, Xia Yiguo and all that stuff originally belonged to her, didn't they?
So he tugged at the corners of his lips, revealing a smile that was more like a grimace, and gave his answer: the Netherworld.
Zhong Yan fell silent. She didn't even need to hear it to know this wasn't a good place. Looking at his expression, well, something seemed off. Could it be that it was terrifying?
Jiang Xiaochen was tempted. It was true that the place was terrifying, but compared to Zhong Yan, he was clearly more willing to take on the challenge, at least to see what kind of hellish place it was.
Zhong Yan hooked his finger, wanting to persuade him, "Don't rush, Jiang Xiaochen, even if we're going, it's not now! We need to ensure their safety."
Zhou Shao and Qin Yifan are still here. They can't just recklessly go and venture into the underworld! If they do that and something goes wrong, who will be responsible? They'll be devastated!
Thinking about this gave me a headache, and I really didn't want to agree to his request.
Jiang Xiaochen hesitated, unsure of what to do. He looked at Shubao Jingye, who had an anxious expression on his face, as if Xia Yiguo would grow legs and run away if they didn't go soon.
“Your Highness King Qin Guang, if we don’t go, the Xia Yi fruit will ripen and we won’t be able to pick it! That fruit has a limited shelf life; it can only be stored for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn each time.”
"..."
A stick of incense, half an hour?
Zhong Yan pulled him back, her face wary: "Just tell me your purpose! You went to great lengths to lure us there, what are you trying to do? Bao Jingye, don't tell me you have no purpose at all."
There is no such thing as a selfless person in this world!
Even she herself has selfish motives, let alone others.
If it were just Zhong Yan alone, she wouldn't be afraid. But now the problem is there. She won't easily let go of either Jiang Xiaochen or Zhou Shao, and she can't let anything happen to them under her nose.
All right……
She had to admit that she had been making threats all along; otherwise, how could she have fooled Bao Jingye and gotten him to back down? Looking back now, it was a pretty good idea.
Bao Jingye looked aggrieved: "What purpose could I possibly have! My purpose was for you, wasn't it? To be honest, I'm truly innocent in this matter! If I had any ulterior motives, I wouldn't have given you the Xuanming Token in the first place. Look at how this has turned out, it's all a misunderstanding..."
Zhong Yan snorted softly, unable to hide her doubt. She felt that what he just said was a lie, and it didn't seem very sincere. Could it be that she was mistaken?
Thinking about it, I still feel like I'm about to burst into flames!
No, no.
It's always good to be prepared for anything! If Bao Jingye really is hiding something, then staying behind would mean risking their lives. It doesn't seem like a worthwhile trade at all.
She needs to think about it some more...
