I laughed lightly and unconcernedly, “Sorry, this seems to have nothing to do with you, Miss Bing Xi.”
“Then can Ran’er tell me?” Yuan Ye was already clinging to me like a koala as he spoke. I instinctively stepped back, accidentally stepping on someone’s foot. I quickly turned to apologize, “I’m sorry!”
When I looked up, I met a pair of bright, beautiful eyes. Her pupils sparkled, filled with curiosity.
“Are you the girl the young master brought back?”
I confidently acknowledged, “Yes! My name is Fei Xin Ran. Please take care of me!”
“Hello, I’m Bing Xuan,” the beautiful woman smiled.
“Sister, why are you being so nice to her! It’s because of her that the young master has been so cold to Die!” Bing Xi rushed forward, pulling Bing Xuan back.
Bing Xuan quickly interrupted, “Xia, do not be disrespectful to the young master’s guest! Since Miss Fei has something to discuss with the young master, let’s leave.”
“Sister!” Bing Xi protested.
“Don’t make the young master angry,” Bing Xuan reminded her.
Bing Xi glared at me before reluctantly following her sister out. Yuan Ye and the man called Qian Yu followed. Only the woman called Lian Die remained seated, staring directly at me.
The Phantom finally couldn’t bear the compromise and said: “If you have the ability to leave this Valley of Silence, then I will tell you the truth!”
The Valley of Silence? The name is quite fitting. I immediately released my claws… no, I mean my jade hand, looking at him excitedly: “Do we have a deal?”
The truth? What is the truth? I must know!!!
Probably seeing how pleased with myself I was, the Phantom immediately added, “Remember, you cannot ask anyone for help, otherwise, today’s agreement will be null and void!”
“I know!” I curled my lips disdainfully, unsatisfied with his suspicious gaze. Just navigating a maze—would Fei Xin Ran need help from others? How ridiculous…
But after wandering in the peach blossom forest for half a day, I realized how boastful I had been. I couldn’t even break through a peach blossom formation, let alone the various mechanisms ahead. Getting lost would be the least of my problems—I might even lose my life.
