Ah Man hesitated for a moment, then followed him in. The passage was dark, and she could not see her fingers. She held the dagger at her waist tightly and looked around vigilantly.

"Miss, it's so dark in here, should we light a fire?" Ah Man's voice was trembling. Even though the breath in this secret passage was extremely cold and damp, it still made her feel suffocated.

"No need." Lin Qingya's voice came from the darkness, calm and firm, "We have a better way."

After that, she took off an emerald green bracelet from her wrist. The bracelet was crystal clear and seemed to emit a faint light. She raised the bracelet and the faint light illuminated the surroundings.

"What...what is this?" Ah Man said in surprise, looking at the bracelet emitting light in amazement.

"This is a night-shining pearl. It can help us see the road clearly in the dark." Lin Qingya explained as she held the night-shining pearl and walked forward carefully.

Ah Man followed behind Lin Qingya, holding the dagger tightly and staring straight ahead.

The passage was narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through. The walls were covered with moss, and the damp walls seemed to be breathing.

Lin Qingya walked in front, lighting the way with a night-shining pearl. She carefully observed the surrounding walls, looking for any possible mechanisms or clues.

Suddenly, she stopped, pointed to a protruding stone in front of her, and whispered, "Be careful, there is a trap here."

As soon as she finished speaking, the stone suddenly moved forward, revealing a bottomless trap.

Lin Qingya acted quickly, grabbed Ah Man and pulled her to the side, narrowly avoiding the trap.

"Miss, how do you know there is an agency here?" Ah Man asked in fear. Her heartbeat quickened and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"These are just some simple mechanisms. They are not difficult to find if you observe carefully." Lin Qingya answered calmly. She took a deep breath and continued to move forward.

"This secret passage... is really dangerous." Ah Man said in a low voice. She followed Lin Qingya's footsteps closely, taking every step carefully.

"Miss, what should we do now?" Ah Man's voice trembled slightly. Looking at the dark and bottomless trap in front of him, his eyes were full of fear.

"Don't worry, let's retreat first." Lin Qingya said calmly, illuminating the surrounding environment with the light of the night pearl, while observing the direction of the secret passage, looking for a way to escape.

"But... the stone just now has disappeared. How do we go back?" Ah Man asked puzzledly, looking at the dark passage behind him, full of anxiety.

"This mechanism should have other ways of triggering. Let's observe carefully." Lin Qingya said lightly, carefully observing the surrounding walls and the ground, looking for hidden mechanisms.

At this moment, a series of subtle footsteps came from the passage, and then a familiar voice rang out.

"Lin Qingya, where have you been hiding?" Zhao Sisi's voice was a little angry and her tone was full of sarcasm.

"Sister Sisi, why are you here? Are you afraid that I will run away?" Lin Qingya smiled faintly and deliberately downplayed her words, but she sneered in her heart.

"Stop playing dumb with me. Where is what I want?" Zhao Sisi's voice was getting closer and closer, with a hint of threat in it.

"What is Sister Sisi looking for? I don't know." Lin Qingya answered calmly, but her eyes were fixed on the secret passage in front of her, looking for an opportunity.

"Don't play dumb with me. Hand over the Night Pearl!" Zhao Sisi's voice suddenly became sharp. She walked out of the dark passage with a long sword in her hand and her eyes full of viciousness.

Lin Qingya suddenly became alert, holding the night pearl tighter, staring at Zhao Sisi vigilantly, ready to attack at any time.

"It seems we have to leave here as soon as possible." There was a hint of coldness in Lin Qingya's tone. She took a deep breath and made a quick decision.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Sisi asked vigilantly. She looked at Lin Qingya's actions and felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart.

"I'm leaving here. You might as well come with me. Maybe you can escape." Lin Qingya's voice was still calm, but there was an unquestionable strength in her tone.

"You're leaving, why do you want to take me with you?" Zhao Sisi asked warily. She didn't understand why Lin Qingya was so generous and willing to take her away with her.

"Because there may be dangers in this secret passage, only if we work together can we better protect our own safety." Lin Qingya explained, while observing Zhao Sisi's expression, looking for an opportunity.

Zhao Sisi hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to believe Lin Qingya. She originally felt that Lin Qingya would not harm herself in this situation, and she also wanted to get more clues about the Night Pearl from Lin Qingya.

"Okay, I believe you." Zhao Sisi nodded, put down the sword in her hand, and temporarily stopped forcing Lin Qingya.

"Very good, let's go now." Lin Qingya smiled slightly, then took Zhao Sisi and walked into the depths of the dark passage, looking for a way to escape.
