At first, Hu Xiaotian had thought these two had slipped into the Dragon Spirit Wonderland behind him and Quan Dean, just as Qin Yutong had. But after Ren Tianqing activated the mechanism and sealed the stone chamber, it seemed there must be other passages into the Dragon Spirit Wonderland-and now Ren Tianqing had sealed them all.
After darkness came light, but when would their light arrive?
As this thought crossed Hu Xiaotian's mind, light shone in the stone chamber again. Its source was still Meizhuang's palm. Although the glow was only the size of a longan fruit, it was enough to illuminate the dim chamber. Hu Xiaotian saw an unprecedented calm in Meizhuang's eyes.
Using Secret Voice Transmission, Meizhuang asked Hu Xiaotian, "What plan do you have?"
"Make him walk straight into our net," Hu Xiaotian said.
Meizhuang was scornful. "He's a wary man. Why would he fall for a trap so easily?"
"As long as the bait is tempting enough, there's no fear he won't bite," Hu Xiaotian said. "Besides, we still have a trump card!"
Their gazes fell on Qin Yutong at the same time. Meizhuang had clearly thought it through. She nodded. "I'll help you wake her, but don't even think about trying anything else. Otherwise, I'll make sure you're the first to mourn her death."
Hu Xiaotian smiled. "Things have come to this. We ought to be rowing in the same boat. What other intentions could I have? Even if I wanted to turn against you, that would have to wait until after we escape."
Madam Meizhuang nodded. His words were candid enough. But this fellow was far too shrewd. She and Ren Tianqing had originally held the situation firmly in their hands today, yet Hu Xiaotian had reversed it with nothing but his silver tongue.
