How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Jing Zhao simply shook his head. "You can go anywhere, but you can't stay in the clan."

He knew what the Grand Elder was thinking; he wouldn't let that person go. Thinking of what had happened before, a dark light flashed in Jing Zhao's eyes.

Even I, who possesses an immortal body, almost died in this dungeon.

How could she survive alone?

It would be better to go outside... Even if it's like a rootless duckweed, it's still much better than being in this realm.

"What about my brother?" Qingzhao asked.

Jing Zhao remained silent.

He spent years wandering on the edge of life and death, going wherever the road took him, aimlessly. He would not have returned if he hadn't received a message from his father.

Upon his return, he fell into the Elder's trap. Had he not met that girl, he would have been forever trapped in darkness.

Seeing his silence, Qingzhao knew the answer.

He won't take himself with him.

Qingzhao didn't speak again. In just a few days, she had changed so much that she was no longer the innocent and carefree saintess. Without her father's protection, she was no longer the same person.

I am nothing...

Qingzhao stroked the object in her hand, a beautiful piece of jade, a keepsake left to her by her father.

She didn't take it... and even saved herself.

But it harmed her.

Thinking of this, Qingzhao quickly wiped away her tears and asked, "Brother, are there still people in this dungeon?"

Scared?

Jing Zhao looked puzzled, but still replied, "I've already taken care of that person."

He was referring to the people left behind by the Grand Elder, who had already been eliminated when they returned here.

With the outside world in chaos, no one will notice this place.

The dungeon was secretly built by the Grand Elder, and no one else knew about it except him. He had just escaped and there was no way he could come back.

This is what is called darkness under the lamp.

Qingzhao said anxiously, "An older sister saved me before, but we didn't escape and were... caught and brought back. Later, I was put under guard by the Grand Elder, and she was locked up in the dungeon alone."

"Brother, can you help me look for it?"

There was a plea in Jingzhao's eyes:

"She saved me. If it weren't for her, I would have... Brother, please."

As she spoke, Qingzhao's tears fell again.

She had never asked this brother for anything before; this was the first time.

My sister? Could it be her?

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Jing Zhao's eyes, and he agreed almost without hesitation.

"it is good."

Jing Zhao pursed her lips, watching the young man walk out and feeling slightly relieved.

Her brother is very strong; he should be able to protect her.

……

Deep inside the dungeon.

Jing Zhao saw the familiar girl in the red dress. She was sitting on the ground with her eyes closed, seemingly resting.

He instinctively looked at the girl's whole body and found that she was not injured.

His clothes were intact, and his complexion was rosy.

Jing Zhao subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Yueyue was awakened by the sound of chains. She thought it was the group of people coming to interrogate her, but when she looked up, she met a familiar face.

His pale blue eyes were not as calm as usual; they were like ripples spreading across a lake.

He is Brother Suffering.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Yueyue's eyes, followed by a surge of joy. She greeted the man with a composed expression, "Hello, brother."

The girl's bright smile seemed completely out of place in the dungeon.

She raised her hand, and the meteorite chains clanged together. She should have looked disheveled, but instead, she appeared as composed as if she were at home.

His expression showed no sign of embarrassment.

Sure enough it was her...

Jing Zhao had already guessed before he came that there was a barrier in this domain that ordinary people could not enter, and that few cultivators could be seen there in hundreds of years.

Almost everyone who came in died here.

Without exception, none of them could find a way out of the barrier.

"Can you untie me?" The girl looked at him expectantly, her rosy lips slightly pursed, her eyes seeming to plead.

Jing Zhao's gaze fell on her lips, then quickly shifted away.

His usually steady breathing became a little erratic, and his heart, which had faced life and death countless times, skipped a beat.

"For the sake of me saving you, okay?"

The girl's voice brought him back to his senses.

Jing Zhao stepped forward and placed his large hand over the meteorite iron chain. Inevitably, he touched the soft wrist, which reminded him of what had happened before.

Jing Zhao lowered his eyes and gently captured that softness. A slight tremor rippled through the air, and the meteorite chain turned to dust the next second.

The invisible pressure that had been binding her dissipated.

Ye Yueyue's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing!"

These meteorite chains have the effect of imprisoning spiritual power, and it is somewhat difficult to remove them. However, fortunately, they do not restrict teleportation, and one's own spatial power can still be used.

Therefore, instead of expending energy to retrieve it, she chose to focus on restoring the power of space, so that even if a peak Nascent Soul cultivator came, she would have a way out.

The girl grasped the man's long, slender hand and asked, "Is your injury healed?"

Meeting those worried eyes, Jing Zhao's heart skipped a beat. The vividness he used to feel, which he could only experience in life-or-death situations, was so clear and longed for at this moment.

"Ah."

The texture is warm and delicate to the touch, making it unforgettable.

Although Jingzhao was ignorant of worldly affairs, he knew that the two were too close, but he couldn't explain why he didn't push them away.

"Really?" Ye Yueyue blinked, leaned closer, and probed his body with her divine sense.

Jing Zhao sensed it, but he did not resist.

His internal organs had recovered to about 70-80% of their original state, and his damaged meridians had healed and expanded. There was no indication that he had been in a near-death state before.

Ye Yueyue was jealous again. How could someone who was seriously injured and on the verge of death recover in just a few days?

This immortality is way too much!

"That's great! You'll be fully recovered in a few more days, right?" She seemed relieved, a smile spreading across her face.

The girl's smile was like the first rays of dawn, bright and playful, gentle yet brimming with vitality.

Jing Zhao has never liked scenery. To him, the world is all the same. Only when he is on the verge of death does he feel clarity.

But at that moment, a word suddenly popped into his mind.

Smiling like a flower.

Ye Yueyue had some suspicions before, but after Brother Suffering appeared here, all the clues became clear.

That so-called strongman that the Grand Elder was referring to was probably him.

She hadn't suspected anything before because the meteorite iron chains had a spiritual power that restricted spiritual energy; without her teleportation ability, how could she get out?

Besides, he was on the verge of death; how could he possibly have the strength to kill that so-called clergyman once he got out?

To put it bluntly, the physical cultivation was still too excessive.

However, if she were to be harmed like that, even if she died, she would crawl out of hell to kill her enemy, she couldn't help but sigh.

Ye Yueyue's eyes darted around, and she began to probe indirectly:

"Brother? Do you know how to get out?"

"Ah."

She asked again, "Brother, how did you end up here? Were you also captured by that Grand Elder?"

Jing Zhao paused for a moment before replying, "Mm."

He wasn't captured; he was tricked into coming.

The elder tricked him into this dungeon in his father's name, and he fell into a trap without realizing it.

Jing Zhao's lips curled into a mocking smile. Was this the culmination of hundreds of years of planning? Truly painstaking.

He will make him fail at the last moment.
