The atmosphere suddenly became intimate.
"...A little." Jiang Xinli didn't deny it, but she gave a sheepish smile. "Actually, I have something I need your help with."
"Mm." The young man seemed to have guessed her thoughts. His voice was weak and hoarse. "Miss Xinli, I'll rest a little longer, then I'll get you out of here."
He gave her a light glance. "Don't worry, we won't be leaving through the Holy Gorge."
"How did you know that was my request?" Jiang Xinli was both surprised and delighted. "Aren't you going to ask why I'm here in the first place?"
'His family's ancestral tomb, which holds top-tier secrets, has been broken into by an outsider—and a member of the Land Clan, with whom they have a blood feud, no less. How is he not the least bit surprised or suspicious?'
'Or could it be that he hates that Yun Bo, too?'
'As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend?'
'If that's the case, then this will be much easier!'
