"Click."

It was unclear what Fang Juelan had touched, but the sound of a stone door opening came from behind Ye Xingshu.

Looking at the two-meter-high passageway, barely wide enough for two people to walk through, Ye Xingshu took two steps back: "You go first."

Fang Juelan had a vague feeling that something was wrong with the exit, but she still went ahead first.

The cramped space was unsettling.

"This gate is only open for three minutes. Are you sure you don't want to follow us?"

Seeing Ye Xingshu standing behind him, Fang Juelan gave a reminder.

"Go on your way," Ye Xingshu said, stepping inside.

After walking cautiously for a while, Fang Juelan realized what was happening.

But at this moment, he didn't dare to turn around and tell Ye Xingshu the truth.

The passageway didn't lead outside, but... to the prison!

There's no time to go back now.

And they had no choice.

Seeing Fang Juelan ahead speed up, Ye Xingshu quickly followed.

Not far ahead, a faint light could be seen.

They walked out of the long, straight passage at the same time, and the smooth wall immediately closed.

Looking back, one could still see a cold glint flash across the blade.

Ye Xingshu's brow twitched.

If you get caught in it, it will cut you in two.

A gust of wind swept across the back of Ye Xingshu's head. Ye Xingshu dodged and turned to counterattack.

Fang Juelan was physically strong after all; he was thrown to the ground, hit on the head, and stabbed.

Their reaction time has not been weakened at all.

To make it into the nine-person group, they must have some talent.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, a hidden arrow was shot out from between the two wrestling fighters.

Each side retreated to one side, and then a transparent door suddenly appeared in the middle, separating them.

Ye Xingshu took a running start and rushed forward to deliver a kick.

Fang Juelan on the opposite side did the same thing.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Two sounds rang out simultaneously.

The transparent door remained completely still.

Ye Xingshu gritted her teeth, turned around and left.

Fang Juelan turned around and walked quickly in the opposite direction without hesitation. After walking a while, she shook her trembling legs.

Ye Xingshu gritted her teeth, shaking her trembling legs, and cursed, "It really hurts."

Suddenly, an obstructive transparent door separated them, thwarting their plan to strangle each other.

"What kind of place is this?" Ye Xingshu frowned as she stared at the several forks in the road that had suddenly appeared in front of her.

The wall lights were dim, barely illuminating the floor.

She paused for a moment, then chose a path with better ventilation.

The further we walked, the damper and colder it became.

It might be luck, or it might be bad luck.

Ye Xingshu turned the corner and, several hundred meters away, met the three people who had turned in from the other side.

After a moment of stunned silence, Ye Xingshu's beautiful face slowly blossomed into a radiant smile: "To run into you like this, Miss Sheng, we really are destined for each other!"

Gu Hancheng's eyelids twitched, and his face turned ashen.

"Ye Xingshu, you really are here."

"Han Cheng is here too," Ye Xingshu said, hands in her pockets, walking slowly forward. "But I don't want to waste time with you today, Miss Sheng. It's been a long time. Your radiance is becoming more and more captivating."

Gu Hancheng still carried the broken half of his halo, while Sheng Nanqiao, the female lead, seemed to have taken some kind of additive, as a faint outer ring had grown on her halo.

Even from a great distance, the light emanating from her could still be clearly seen.

It only made her cool and beautiful face even more captivating.

Ye Xingshu's gaze was fixed intently on Sheng Nanqiao, as if she were rushing towards the person she admired. Her steps quickened, and her smile grew stronger.

Sheng Nanqiao felt nauseous at Ye Xingshu's words, and a wave of disgust washed over her.

Ye Xingshu didn't move, but Sheng Nanqiao strode forward first, and then rushed towards Ye Xingshu.

Ye Xingshu's smile deepened as she watched the female lead rush towards her.

"Nan Qiao."

Gu Hancheng was taken aback by Sheng Nanqiao's action.

Sheng Nanqiao's attacks were very fierce, but they were weakened a bit when they landed on Ye Xingshu.

Calmly resisting Sheng Nanqiao's fierce attack, she stepped aside as bullets from the silenced gun swept past her face. Sheng Nanqiao tilted her head back, briefly creating distance before bending her leg and striking Ye Xingshu in the abdomen.

Ye Xingshu lowered her hand to block the impact of her knee.

She tilted her head slightly, the bullet struck the wall next to her ear, and she raised her hand to shield her ear from the flying debris, while using her other hand to push away Sheng Nanqiao's fist.

A crosswind swept across the ground.

They intercepted one attack after another from the lower ranks.

Ye Xingshu's eyes brightened as she looked at Sheng Nanqiao: "Your growth has surprised me."

Sheng Nanqiao struck with great force, but Ye Xingshu raised her hand to block it, using the force to retreat to the wall and successfully avoid the third bullet.

Gu Hancheng attacked from the side, his moves equally ruthless.

The two main characters, one attacking from above and the other sweeping from below, are trying to block her retreat.

There was also a sharpshooter aiming at her from the side.

Perhaps due to the use of the repair agent, Gu Hancheng has also made some progress.

At least when Ye Xingshu counterattacked, he knew to use the method of using softness to overcome hardness, making a half-circle to avoid the attack and then counterattacking.

Sheng Nanqiao had also confronted Ye Xingshu several times, and learned some lessons from her injuries.

When the two work together, they won't appear too passive.

Furthermore, with Sheng Nanqiao now blessed by destiny, Ye Xingshu was unable to harm her vitals for the time being.

This gave Sheng Nanqiao a misconception.

Ye Xingshu can't kill her!

As Ye Xingshu attacked Sheng Nanqiao, Gu Hancheng frantically rushed towards her.

The attack that was originally aimed at Sheng Nanqiao's neck landed on Gu Hancheng, who slammed him against the wall and then shook him off, saying, "You're in the way."

Gu Hancheng was thrown off balance and staggered.

Ye Xingshu's hand reached towards Sheng Nanqiao's waist, and with that wicked smile on her face, Gu Hancheng had the illusion that Ye Xingshu was teasing Sheng Nanqiao.

Gu Hancheng's face immediately turned ashen.

When Ye Xingshu encountered Sheng Nanqiao, she rushed towards him.

Ye Xingshu turned around and kicked his fist, sending dust flying, then her next kick landed heavily on his sternum.

He slid across the ground and then slammed against the base of the wall.

The next second, he endured the pain and got up.

"Ye Xingshu, your opponent is me."

He pounced on her, grabbing Ye Xingshu from behind and throwing her to the ground.

Ye Xingshu stepped back, bumping into him with her back, and instantly lost her breath.

"Pfft!"

The silenced bullets came flying again.

It grazed her forehead, leaving a trail of hot blood.

She tried to attack the female lead again, but the man in the prison guard uniform attacked even more intensely.

Ye Xingshu's dodging of the bullets startled the shooter.

We dare not let our guard down.

At that moment, two figures rushed in from the other side of the passage. Upon seeing Ye Xingshu, they simultaneously raised their guns and fired at her.

As Ye Xingshu dodged, she turned around and pulled Gu Hancheng in front of her: "Shoot!"

Gu Hancheng's neck was restrained, and his tall figure completely blocked Ye Xingshu, while Ye Xingshu's back was pressed against the corner of the wall.

"Ye Xingshu, Hancheng is your brother."

"Don't be ridiculous," Ye Xingshu licked her lips, her gaze still burning uncomfortably as she stared at Sheng Nanqiao. "Miss Sheng, how about I exchange you for her? I'm head over heels in love with you right now. Maybe if you come here, I'll let Han Cheng go."

“Don’t listen to him,” Gu Hancheng said nervously, “Nan Qiao, even if you come here, he won’t let me go.”

"No wonder people say we used to be brothers; you really know me."

Ye Xingshu whispered coldly in his ear with a smile.

Gu Hancheng: "Xing Shu, even if you kill me, you won't get out of here."

"Releasing you won't change anything," Ye Xingshu said with a smile, but her eyes were sharp as she watched the danger from three directions. "Five against one, and you're even armed. You have no sportsmanship."

If they hadn't had the equipment, they wouldn't have been a match for Ye Xingshu at all.

Ye Xingshu had already suppressed the two of them.

"Release Young Master Gu," the man who brought Gu Hancheng and the others in said threateningly, pointing at Ye Xingshu, "You know how good my marksmanship is."

“Go ahead and shoot. I want to see just how accurate your marksmanship really is,” Ye Xingshu said, holding the invisible shard of glass against Gu Hancheng’s neck. “Let’s have a contest to see if your gun is faster, or if I can slit your throat faster.”

Ye Xingshu's smile had a hint of madness to it.

She really wanted to try it.

Seeing the deranged Ye Xingshu, the three of them didn't dare to move.

Sheng Nanqiao stared intently at Ye Xingshu and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine, I'll make the trade."

Ye Xingshu looked at Sheng Nanqiao, grinning broadly, then feigning sadness, "Miss Sheng, you truly love Hancheng. It makes me so jealous. Actually, Miss Sheng could consider choosing me. Look, I'm better looking than Hancheng, my family background is about the same, and I'm better off than him. A woman's life is so long, why hang herself on a crooked tree? Try a few men, compare them, and you'll know which one is more suitable for you."

Gu Hancheng, the crooked tree: "..."

Sheng Nanqiao's forehead veins suddenly throbbed: "Shut up!"

"Okay, I'll do as Miss Sheng says." With that, she smiled and winked at Sheng Nanqiao.

Sheng Nanqiao: "..."

"Let's go."

At this moment, Ye Xingshu suddenly moved, pushing Gu Hancheng away and quickly pulling Sheng Nanqiao, who was approaching, into her arms. "Miss Sheng, from now on, you are mine!"

Looking at the halo surrounding Sheng Nanqiao, Ye Xingshu's eyes shone with a light that was breathtaking.

The change happened so fast that no one had time to react.

They were all momentarily distracted by Ye Xingshu's verbal sparring, and no matter how quickly they came to their senses, they couldn't outpace Ye Xingshu's hands.

"Snapped!"

In a moment of desperation, the person who led them inside pressed a remote control switch.

Ye Xingshu and Sheng Nanqiao fell from the air at the same time. Gu Hancheng rushed out and grabbed Sheng Nanqiao's hand.

Ye Xingshu, holding Sheng Nanqiao by the waist and suspending her in mid-air, raised her hand and struck Sheng Nanqiao's lower back.

Gu Hancheng's eyes widened. "Ye Xingshu, stop!"

Sheng Nanqiao felt a piercing pain in her lower back and let out a groan.

Gu Hancheng's eyes turned red with rage. He snatched a gun from someone next to him and fired at Ye Xingshu.

Ye Xingshu's body fell downwards, and she grabbed Sheng Nanqiao's foot and pulled hard!

Sheng Nanqiao slipped out of Gu Hancheng's left hand, and Gu Hancheng shouted, "Nanqiao!"

The people behind him dragged him back, and the opening in the ground quickly closed.

"Open it, open it! I need to save Nan Qiao!" Gu Hancheng grabbed the man's collar, almost roaring.

The man said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, this sensor control can only be activated once. Activating it again will take you to the next location. The underground passages are interconnected, and I'm not sure which direction they've glided in at this time."

With bloodshot eyes, Gu Hancheng asked, "How can we find them?"

The man said, "Now we have no choice but to take a gamble."
