When the woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately smiled.
“The people in the martial world have mixed reviews of the people from the Longevity Hall. Some say that the Longevity Hall is good because they’ve helped some poor people. Others say that the Longevity Hall is evil because they have also killed some good people. Therefore, it’s a grey area. To me, the people from the Longevity Hall are evil. After all, I have a grudge against the people from the Longevity Hall!”
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she recalled what had happened previously, so she asked tentatively, “Are you from the martial world?”
“I’m from the martial world. It’s just that after something happened to my family, I retired from the martial world. I originally thought that I would spend the rest of my life peacefully, but who knew that such a thing would happen later?!” the woman said in a mocking tone, “If I had known that I would be pushed by my son and be unconscious for eight years, I might as well have stayed in the martial world. At least I could have lived a prosperous life for so many years!”
When Li Xiaoran heard the woman’s words, she smiled.
“Everything is predestined! Perhaps it’s not a bad thing that you were unconscious for so many years. Instead, it’s a good thing! In the past, old people often said that fortune and misfortune come together. Calamity might not be a calamity, and good things might not be as good as they seem!” When the woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she was stunned.
As if inspired by Li Xiaoran’s words, the woman became immersed in her thoughts and didn’t speak again.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoran didn’t say anything else and looked around.
This place was just outside the canyon. At a glance, there seemed to be no way out.
Could it be that the only way to leave this place was through that secret pa.s.sage?
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoran frowned.
Soon, the hall was cleaned up. Then, the group found some chairs and sat down to rest in order to recover their strength.
After Li Xiaoran thought for a moment, she pulled Luo Cheng aside.
“Husband, I can’t hide here for the rest of my life! The officials already have our portrait. In the future, even if we leave safely, we’ll be in endless trouble. I think we should resolve the trouble in White Foothill City first!”
Luo Cheng had actually thought of this too. Speaking of which, the four of them were really unlucky!
They had clearly done nothing, but for some reason, they had become suspects of the imperial court.
“I think that’s a good idea. The fact that those men in black keep chasing us is also a problem. Therefore, if we want to resolve these troubles, we must return to where the incident happened!” Luo Cheng agreed with Li Xiaoran’s idea.
“Why don’t we ask the woman?! Since she can bring us in, she must know the way out. If there’s really no other way, let’s go back the way we came! Those men in black might not be there,” Li Xiaoran said.
Luo Cheng nodded and brought Li Xiaoran back to the middle of the hall. “Sir, Madam, we want to ask how we can leave this place.”
The old man knew nothing about this and could only look at his wife.
When the woman heard Luo Cheng’s words, she pondered over it and didn’t answer immediately.
“That’s right, Mother, we won’t live here forever, right?! Although this place looks very nice, there’s no one around and it’s quite depressing!” Jiang Bao echoed.
To be honest, ever since his mother woke up, Jiang Bao felt that everything that happened was surreal.
Suddenly, his mother woke up. Suddenly, men in black came to chase after them. Suddenly, his mother brought them into a secret pa.s.sage and came to such a remote place…
All of this had a considerable impact on Jiang Bao, and he had yet to come back to his senses.
“Other than the secret pa.s.sage just now, there’s another way out. However, that path pa.s.ses through a very deep cave. Without anyone bringing you along, it’s very easy for you to get lost. Even I, who’ve been unconscious for so many years, can’t guarantee that I can walk out successfully!” the woman finally told the truth.
Luo Cheng frowned when he heard this.
“Brother Luo Cheng, don’t worry about that. With me around, I can definitely bring you guys out! I forgot to tell you guys that I’m good at leading the way!” Wu Qinghe’s eyes lit up when he heard the woman’s words and he quickly stood up to recommend himself.
The others stared at Wu Qinghe as they a.s.sessed the credibility of his words.
“Hey, don’t look at me like that! I’m really good at this! ” Wu Qinghe quickly emphasized.
Luo Cheng thought for a moment and looked at Li Xiaoran.
“Wife, what do you think?”
Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and asked hesitantly, “Can’t we go back the way we came? Those men in black might not be in your house anymore!” Li Xiaoran looked at the woman and asked.
When the woman heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she shook her head. “Longevity Hall’s people have never been people who give up easily. I can guarantee that if you go back now, you’ll only be walking into a trap and let them discover this place!”
Li Xiaoran naturally didn’t dare to take the risk anymore.
There was only one way out now, so they could only trust Wu Qinghe this time.
“Why should we leave? We can stay here! I saw that there’s a lot of food stored in the cellar here, and it’s enough for us to live here for a long time!” the old man suddenly said.
Luo Cheng shook his head and said, “We can’t stay here. Since the officials have already listed us as suspects, they will definitely investigate our ident.i.ties. They might have already found our house. If our family finds out that we’re missing, they’ll be so worried!”
‘”l’nars ngnt. 11 tne ornclals can Tina out our DacKgrouna, tnose men In DlaCK can definitely do the same. If those people are really from the Longevity Hall, won’t our families be implicated if we don’t appear?” Li Xiaoran was also worried.
Therefore, no matter what, they couldn’t stay here for long. The sooner they went out, the more advantageous their situation would be.
When the old man and woman heard that Luo Cheng and the others still had family outside, they naturally couldn’t force them.
“How about this? Rest for a while! When I’m done resting, I’ll bring you guys to the exit. Whether you guys can get out or not depends on your luck!” The woman finally said.
After Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran nodded, they sat at the side to recuperate.
Soon, two hours pa.s.sed. The woman felt much better.
This time, the old man supported the old lady and led the group towards the cave.
The cave wasn’t far from the house, so it didn’t take long to reach it.
This time, after bidding farewell, Luo Cheng and Li Xiaoran brought Wu
Qinghe and Shu Ruyue into the cave..
