The Embroidery Woman looked utterly serious.
But to me, she seemed more like she was putting on an act.
I could almost say for certain that she was behind this. I just did not know whether it was her own idea or King Yan's.
She wanted to obtain the power of the Chaos Yin Yang Bead from me to help King Yan recover his strength.
Earlier, King Yan had made it clear that he had given up on obtaining the Chaos Yin Yang Bead's power. Even when he had invited me for drinks, he had not mentioned the Chaos Yin Yang Bead at all.
Yet now, she had pulled this stunt again.
"I found it!" The Embroidery Woman came before me in delight, but then she said, "This node is extremely fragile. It can only support two people crossing through, so, Mr. Jiang, I hope you can come back with me and help him!"
What a coincidence. It could only send two people back. I became even more convinced that the Embroidery Woman was scheming.
Qianqian said coolly, "Did you do this on purpose? Why can only two people pass through?"
Qianqian had seen through the trick. She was not about to indulge the Embroidery Woman and immediately snapped back at her.
Xu Qiuyan understood as well. If only two people could pass through, then it could only be the Embroidery Woman and me going back first while they figured something else out—or while I found a way to get them out later.
But I felt it would be better for them to stay here for now. They would be relatively safer this way.
King Yan himself was not frightening, but I had no choice but to take Heart Core Power seriously.
This might only have been a trap set
