So…..Earlier the underground prison guards were not looking at her, but at this old man?
Ye Qing Luo felt rather curious about who these people were who had been locked up in the underground prison.
She turned her gaze back onto the old man as she carefully sized him up.
The old man cut an extremely sorry state.
Under the dim lights, the old man"s clothing was in shreds and even had blood clots congealed on it.
His dried out hair was dishevelled looking exactly like a bird"s nest, as it was tangled severely.
The old man looked extremely dirty as that face was already so black that she couldn"t tell what he originally looked like.
Ye Qing Luo suddenly recalled the old man"s regretful "few years" time, as the corners of her eyes twitched.
He… surely he had not been locked in this prison for a few years and had not taken a shower right…..
"I"m not someone of importance. Most importantly… young lady, falling into this place means you"re the same as me, trapped here."
Although the old man was extremely dirty and his entire face was black, but that pair of eyes were sparkly as it looked extremely bright and dazzling.
"Where on earth is this place?" Ye Qing Luo totally didn"t doubt the old man"s words at all.
The old man obviously didn"t look as though he was some common folk and he had even been locked up here with the Profound Ice Shackles.
She didn"t feel that she could easily escape from this place.
But the meaning in this old man"s words…..
It represented that he knew where this place was.
The old man shook his head and that bird nest like hair dropped a pile of white powdery dirty stuff, "Young lady, even if you knew where this place is, there"s no way you can escape from here."
"That might not be necessarily true." Ye Qing Luo rose her brows. Towards things which she had not tried before, she would not easily conclude it.
The old man narrowed his eyes as a faint smile cracked on the corner of his lips, "Looks like young lady here is very confident~ actually it"s not impossible to leave this place."
His smile made Ye Qing Luo"s spine suddenly turn chilly.
Ye Qing Luo rubbed the corners of her eyes as she rubbed her own arms, "You…. you"re not trying to tell me that if I save you, you can bring me to leave this place?"
"Smart!" Old man nodded and that pile of dust on top of his head drifted like snowflakes as that black face which was concealed with blood clots smiled into a bundle.
"...." Indeed.
Ye Qing Luo rolled her eyes back as she was too lazy to bother about him.
She directly turned around and walked towards the prison.
"Hey hey hey young lady, you don"t believe me? Earlier the expression you gave when you looked at me, I saw the two words "top exponent" in it! You don"t believe me?"
The old man saw Ye Qing Luo not giving him any face and already wanted to leave the prison room so he got anxious as his entire body leaned forward.
The Profound Ice Shackles made a rustling and pitter-pattering sound.
In the silent prison, the old man"s voice and the sound of the Profound Ice Shackles was extremely clear.
It shocked Ye Qing Luo so much that she halted her footsteps.
d.a.m.n it!
Did this old man do that on purpose?
Making such a huge din, if those underground prison guards were to discover it then the both of them could forget about escaping at all!
She turned her head around as she spoke to him in an angry tone while staring at him, "I trust you? If you had the ability to bring me away from this place, then you wouldn"t have been trapped here."
The old man heaved a loud sigh as his body went soft and hung heavily on the Profound Ice Shackles.
That set of shackles gave out another loud sound because of that action.
"I"d never thought that the young ladies nowadays could not only be thieves, they"re also so intelligent…." He mumbled quietly as he shook his head and sighed once again, "I"ve not been out for so many years not knowing what had happened in the outside world, now I can"t even trick anyone at all."
Ye Qing Luo, "..."
This old man, was he really a top exponent?
Was he really the top exponent who needed to be restrained by the Profound Ice Shackles?
Most elderly top exponents, had a saintly demeanour so even if they were in a sorry state, there should still be a saintly air around him?
This really G.o.ddammit was….
Obviously he was a comedic old man!
