I have faith in you

After pacing back and forth at the intersection for a while, Yuwen He finally came to the conclusion.

He chose the left path. He said, "That's where the Gate of Life is."

While walking, he explained a lot of things, and Xiao Ruyue listened to every word he said, secretly memorizing them in his heart, and swore in his heart: One day, these will not be my obstacles!

Even if she could not completely understand the things that Yuwen He knew, she had to know something or two before they could grow together forever.

Halfway through the passageway, they came to another fork in the road.

They could also choose from two sides, and this time, even Yuwen He was shaken.

After a long while, he suddenly turned his head and said to Xiao Ruyue with a stern expression, "Elder Sister Xiao, no matter what happens later, do not leave my side."

Xiao Ruyue's heart quivered, and she nodded solemnly.

To make Yuwen He act in such a serious manner, there must be many dangers ahead.

She also secretly pinched the fat bug in her hand. The Jade Silkworm Gu had grown two legs from breaking out of its cocoon, but it was still as fat as before.

A chirping sound was heard.

Xiao Ruyue was shocked, and almost threw the Jade Silkworm Gu in his palm out.

"What's wrong?"

Yuwen He was also shocked by her movements.

Xiao Ruyue opened her palm, "Did you hear the sound just now? These bugs, they can scream."

Yuwen He was slightly startled, "Was that voice emitted by it?"

Xiao Ruyue nodded.

Yuwen He carefully observed the fat insect in the palm of her hand, which was also looking up at him with its legs raised. Yuwen He smiled slightly, "The more I look at these insects, the more adorable I feel. "It's fine."

Listening to him talk about the Jade Silkworm Gu as if it could understand his words, suddenly swaying its waist.

Xiao Ruyue could not help but feel exasperated, this worm was acting more and more cute.

But what was with all this flattery?

She pinched it with all her might and it immediately let out a chirping sound. When Xiao Ruyue let go, it jumped into her hands.

"These worms!"

"Elder Sister Xiao, don't be angry, why are you arguing with a bug?" Yuwen He comforted her gently. He closed his palms and kept the Jade Silkworm Gu.

He still didn't know how to choose the fork in the road in front of him.

He hesitated for a moment before choosing the right side of the fork.

He didn't know what was going on up ahead, but he had to take a gamble.

He had only taken a few steps when he felt a chill. Wind blew past him from both sides, and with a "huff", a fiery light suddenly lit up. It was just like the tunnel he had come across after coming out of the deep pit.

It was exactly the same.

"How could this be?"

Xiao Ruyue turned his head to look at Yuwen He. He shook his head, and looked around cautiously, when suddenly, a "Ka" sound came from within the tranquility and politeness, causing the green bricks beneath her feet to cave in. Without saying a word, Yuwen He turned and ran off while carrying Xiao Ruyue.

He saw a piece of limestone suddenly drop down from the intersection he had just passed. - Bang! - It actually blocked the road.

There was no way back!

The green bricks fell off one by one, and in the blink of an eye, they reached under their feet. Yuwen He immediately made a decision to let Xiao Ruyue climb onto his back, and used a light movement technique to fly over the wall.

One of his feet stepped on the wall, causing a series of "kacha kacha" sounds. The lampstand on the wall turned upside down, sticking to the wall and then disappearing into the wall, leaving round holes in it.

"Huff!"

Flames were spewing out of the round hole.

Yuwen He carried Xiao Ruyue and rushed forward, dodging all the flames that were spewing out of the round hole with lightning speed.

While he was dodging, he came into contact with an unknown area beneath his feet. The smooth walls that were originally shot out steel needles like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

In the firelight, the needles were several inches long.

Yuwen He flipped backwards in the air, using an inverted golden hook to hook the beam above his head.

On one side was fire, and on the other was a steel needle. The green bricks beneath their feet were already caved in, making this road seem like a dead end no matter how one looked at it.

In the garden of Imperial Advisor's Mansion, a shadow suddenly ran over, coincidentally, a group of black-clothed men patrolled him, he didn't have enough time to hide, and was pulled into the bushes with both hands.

The patrolling men in black could hear the sounds but they could not find anyone. Only then did they leave.

After a long while, the person finally appeared from the bushes.

The boy was handsome, especially his left eye, which had a teardrop mark sticking out. He looked around a few times, then retracted his gaze and nudged his elbow at the person beside him, "How is it? You didn't attract anyone's attention, did you? "

"Nope." Chong Yue replied and heaved a sigh of relief.

His appearance was not as handsome as Chong Yang, but his thick eyebrows and big eyes made him look like a handsome young man.

"I'll head east, but the mansion is heavily guarded, and it will be extremely difficult to find an opportunity to attack."

Chong Yang also sighed, "I almost went into the front yard, but those people were watching me too closely. Aside from the garden, it's hard to get close to this Imperial Advisor's Mansion. As for the servants' residences, they have no value at all. "

"This place should be the base of operations for Quicksand." Tang Jingzhi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out something shocking.

Hearing that, Chong Yue and Chong Yang looked at him in succession, "The base camp of 'Quicksand'? "What do you mean?"

"Isn't your Patriarch always looking for Quicksand's headquarters? But even after searching through the Western Xia Region, they couldn't find it. He should have once wondered if Quicksand's lair was in Tatar. " Tang Jingzhi caressed his chin and said calmly.

Chong Yue heard and frowned, "That is true, but this Imperial Advisor's Mansion is really the lair of Quicksand. Isn't it more dangerous for Your Majesty and Empress? There was no telling how many mechanisms lay beneath it. Esteemed Empress was still pregnant, so if we can't find the entrance as soon as possible …

"You have to have confidence in that dog-emperor." Tang Jingzhi interrupted his worry, looking extremely confident, "I don't believe that there is any mechanism in the world that can stop that brat."

Chong Yang and Chong Yue: "Ah?"

Tang Divine Doctor realized that he had leaked his information, and hurriedly waved his hands, "It's nothing. In short, you all must believe that Yuwen He is someone who will not die after a thousand years from the calamity."

Even if he didn't have much time left to live, he would never die in a place like this.

Since that kid was so strong and the empress was his precious treasure, he'd still send the person out first even if he died.

This was Yuwen He's way of doing things.

Time seemed to have stopped.

Xiao Ruyue did not dare to move.

She was afraid that if she moved, she would fall from here.

Before coming here, she was already mentally prepared for the traps set up by the Imperial Advisor's Mansion, but she didn't expect that the danger level here was far beyond her imagination.

Hanging upside down like this was truly unbearable.

"Did I implicate you?" Xiao Ruyue laughed bitterly.

If she didn't come, then did she believe that Yuwen He could easily deal with her?

Hearing that, Yuwen He laughed out, "Does Elder Sister Xiao regret coming over?"

"No, I don't regret it. I'm just worried about the burden.

If only she knew martial arts.

If she knew earlier, she would have learned a few moves from Big Sister Ya Yin, even if it was just a little bit of Qing Gong.

It was unlikely that he would be left helpless at this time and become a burden.

"Don't let your imagination run wild, you're not a burden." Although Yuwen He's back was facing her, it was as if he could see through her thoughts, "I'm glad you came. If you didn't come, wouldn't I have to face this damned place by myself?"

She didn't know how to pick it up.

Xiao Ruyue took a deep breath, "What should I do next, what can I do to help?"

If he could still laugh at a time like this, it meant that things weren't too bad.

At least it wasn't as bad as she'd imagined.

Yuwen He had a way.

"Do you dare to take the risk with me, Elder Sister Xiao?"

She paused. "I'll go wherever you go."

"With your words, I am relieved."

Yuwen He gave a low laugh, then suddenly released his leg.

The two of them rushed down head first.

Before landing, Yuwen He somersaulted in the air, and then, landed stably on the ground.

Yuwen He immediately released his hand.

Xiao Ruyue was caught off guard and dropped to the ground.

The feeling of her feet on the ground was so clear that she stamped on it in disbelief, then on it again.

"Didn't the green bricks on the ground sink in? "What's going on?" She looked at Yuwen He in surprise.

Could it be that the things I saw before are all fake?

"It's an illusion." Yuwen He saw the confusion in her eyes and said with certainty.

The lampstand in this corridor seems to have the ability to confuse people. When we saw the light, we mistakenly thought that the green bricks on the ground would sink downwards, and when we turned around, the place that we had entered through would be blocked by the thick and heavy stone slabs.

Xiao Ruyue was still in a state of shock, but when she heard his explanation, she felt even more so.

If she hadn't been as decisive and nimble as Yuwen He just now, she would have fallen in by herself.

The people who designed the mechanisms were extremely meticulous. These mechanisms were linked together as if they were leading the intruders to their deaths.

"You have the confidence to walk out." Xiao Ruyue looked at Yuwen He with certainty.

For some reason, his eyes and smile seemed to tell her that he was confident.

"The mechanisms that I've encountered so far can be dealt with, but I don't know what I'll encounter in the future." Yuwen He's tone was light, but one could still hear a little worry in his voice.

What was he worried about?

Was he worried that something would happen to her?

Thinking to this point, Xiao Ruyue smiled so hard that her clear eyes became crescent moons, and held his hands together as she said, "I have confidence in you."

"Yes."

A thousand words, all in this one single voice.

Fire was still spewing out of the wall, Yuwen He rested for a moment, then carried Xiao Ruyue and rushed forward.

The corridor was not straight, but curved to the right. He sprinted to the right and soon, there was another exit!

There was light ahead.

However, he did not dare to let his guard down.

The extended foot drew back.

He carefully tossed out a copper coin. When the copper coin landed on the green brick, a wave of heat rose up from the ground and struck his face.

Yuwen He suddenly took a few steps back, but the heat wave in the walkway had already started billowing.

The copper coin was deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Xiao Ruyue was shocked, perspiration trickling down her forehead.

If Yuwen He had not taken that step back, the two of them would have been burnt to ashes.
