We're not gonna die here, are we?

A warm and dry hand held tightly onto her small hands. In the pitch black secret room, Ban Xia had thought of something else.

Just like that, she kept holding his hand. Even if they could never leave this secret room, she seemed to have nothing to panic about.

”This is bad!”

Qian Yexun's eyesight was astonishing, he had personally seen Fu Manduo at a junction before him. He suddenly looked behind him with a deeper meaning, towards where they were standing, and looked towards the direction of the intersection with a strange smile on his face.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Fu Manduo suddenly turned into an even darker hole, and disappeared without a trace.

Ban Xia's heart almost stopped beating after hearing this word ”not good”. Something bad must have happened to make the man beside him lose her composure like this.

”What's wrong?”

Unfortunately, in this dark secret room, she was like a blind person.

His martial arts skills and the skills he had learned were all temporarily useless.

Qian Yexun had a bad premonition. This Fu Manduo was definitely not as simple as he looked on the surface.

If it was just any wealthy family, who would have nothing to do in their own study? Furthermore, they had to build such a strange secret room. There was no sunlight or even a candle flame that lit up the room.

”This despicable fellow, how dare he tease us!” Ban Xia was also very angry, ”Go, quickly chase him! You go and chase him first, don't worry about me. ”

She knew that it was because he had to take care of her that Qian Yexun came back and held her hand. Otherwise, with Qian Yexun's eyesight and legs, he definitely would not have the chance to slip away by himself.

”What is the point of saying this if you already ran away. Furthermore, no matter what happens, how can I leave you alone and leave you in danger? You are my wife, my woman. To me, the most important thing is to protect you. ”

A certain someone who wasn't good at talking about love came out of his own heart.

However, when it reached Ban Xia's ears, it was instead filled with words of love.

His cheeks unknowingly started to heat up. Most likely, even his ears had turned red.

Fortunately, he was in the pitch black secret room, so Qian Yexun didn't notice anything amiss.

When he rushed to the intersection where Fu Manduo had disappeared, he could no longer find any trace of Fu Manduo.

”When you last saw him, which way did he run?”

Standing at the fork in the road, Qian Yexun discovered that there were a total of three tunnels, but just which tunnel did Fu Manduo run towards? He had not paid close attention, and only knew that the last time he had a glance, that fellow was standing right in front of them, smiling eerily at them.

The smile was too strange, causing Qian Yexun to be startled, in that moment when he was startled, Fu Manduo disappeared.

The distance was quite far, and his eyesight was also limited.

”You can squat down and see if there are any footprints on the ground, or if you can find any other useful clues.” Ban Xia could still be considered calm and self-contained at this time.

Qian Yexun carefully examined the three different tunnels. The inside was dry, the tunnels on the ground were all made of green brick, and the price of the flowers were not small, so he did not find any useful clues.

”It seems that we can only try one at a time. This will depend on our luck.”

Indeed, it all depended on luck. If one was lucky, they could directly choose the right option.

However, if he was unlucky, it was possible that he would only find the correct passageway on the third try.

”My luck has always been quite good. How about, I choose!” Ban Xia suddenly said.

When he was still an assassin in his previous life, his companion had directly stabbed him in the vitals and died a horrible death. However, he did not lose his soul, and in the end, he was lucky enough to be reborn.

”We'll choose the leftmost passageway. However, we'll follow the route and make some markings, just in case we're stuck in a maze and we're unable to leave.” Ban Xia reminded.

At a time like this, Qian Yexun could only try his luck.

”Alright, I'll listen to you. ”With your blessings, I hope we can succeed on our first try.”

The next passage was no different from the one before.

”Qian Yexun, have you noticed that Fu Manduo's figure and ours are slightly different? No, it should be said that the majority of the men here are different.

Their surroundings were completely silent, without a single sound. Since there was nothing to do, and he had nothing to do, Ban Xia decided to say the question that was hidden in his heart.

Qian Yexun started to ponder, even the woman beside him noticed that something was amiss, how could he not notice it?

”Maybe.”
