"Can you really hear what I'm saying?" Xie Yuhua clearly didn't believe her.

“Mm,” Ling Xiao replied.

"Then tell me, what am I saying?" Xie Yuhua turned her head and glanced at Hei Xiazi.

Ling Xiao didn't answer him anymore. He had said "uh-huh" a few times, and if he kept doing it, it would arouse suspicion.

Hei Xiazi shook his head at Xie Yuhua from an inconspicuous spot, then turned to Wu Xie and called out, "Young Master."

There was no response, because Ling Xiao couldn't hear him at all.

Seeing that the chattering Xieyuhua had suddenly stopped looking back at him and instead kept walking forward in silence, Ling Xiao glanced back. Hei Xiazi had his back to him, and Xiao Ge, holding his knife, looked at him for a moment before lowering his eyes, seemingly lost in thought. Fatty and Wu Xie, on the other hand, kept glancing at him. Fatty's eyes were filled with heartache, and Cheng Yu was comforting Zhuangzhuang.

After what seemed like an eternity of internal struggle, Ling Xiao finally spoke, "I can't hear anymore, and I suppose it's permanent."

You don't need to comfort me. This is in a tomb. I'm sure I'll miss the best time to be rescued. Most people can't be saved, let alone me.

Don't worry, I know someone who can definitely cure my ear. But until I find him, you'll have to temporarily act as my ear.

I can read lips, so I can hear everything you say in front of me. For things I can't hear, I'll have to ask Little Flower for help.

It didn't matter what Jieyuhua said to him anymore, because he couldn't hear it at all. Besides, he had given him so many chances before, and now that they had agreed to be together, he shouldn't even think about leaving him behind.

I'm going to go deaf anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later.

The young man led the way, and it seemed he had already walked the path once before, leaving his marks on the wall.

Wu Xie covered the mark with his hand and remembered that a puppet had been imitating Xiao Ge earlier, so he ran up and described the incident to Xiao Ge again.

"Maybe I was too far away, so I don't remember very clearly, but I really thought it was you at the time. But when I came to my senses, that person turned into a puppet. I didn't see the bug crawl out, but Lingzi said it crawled out of the puppet's head. Thinking about it now still gives me the creeps." Wu Xie said, rubbing his shoulders.

"Ling Xiao?" The young man turned around and glanced at the person who had fallen asleep on Xie Yuhua's back. He figured that because he was a little taller than Xie Yuhua, it was a bit awkward for him to be lying on her back.

She just looks a bit too well-behaved.

"Yes! Lingzi said I was scared and comforted me for a while."

"Hey! Is that over there a tomb robber's hole?" Wu Xie found an arched object in the corner of the wall. It looked like a hole that someone had dug, but to call it a tomb robber's hole was really a stretch.

"This is what you call a tomb robber's hole? I could dig a better one with my toes!" The fat man stuck his butt out and leaned forward, then stood up and gestured with his foot to show the small hole.

"It wasn't done by human intervention," the young man reminded him.

The fat man immediately withdrew his foot and walked to the young man's side, saying, "Not by human intervention? Could it be that I encountered some kind of ghost digging a hole? Amitabha, amen!"

"You've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve with your prayers. Don't blame me for not telling you, stay away from that area. Otherwise, something might crawl out and you won't know which Bodhisattva will save you, and you'll be crying and begging your blind grandpa for help." Black Bear laughed in the direction of Fatty.
