Chu Luohen gave her a calm glance. "Since you've made such a firm decision, I imagine you have your reasons." Besides, compared with everyone else, she was ultimately the only person left whom he could trust.
Su Jiu paused slightly. Could Junior Granduncle already trust me completely, without reservation?
Beneath the moonlit sky, the clear moonlight suddenly softened her features. The corners of her lips lifted faintly, and traces of amusement shimmered in her eyes.
She turned back and smiled at him. "Thank you for your trust."
Chu Luohen nodded slightly, his expression as impassive as ever.
Yet when she turned to look ahead again, a faint ripple stirred in his eyes.
Perhaps all of this was simply because the moonlight was too beautiful.
Just as Su Jiu had expected, if even Ouyang Yanyu could guess it, how could the Heavenly Dawn Sect fail to think of it?
As the saying went, the most dangerous place was the safest. Viewed through the lens of reverse thinking, Ye Wanqing was undoubtedly most likely to still be imprisoned in the same place.
Su Jiu had not specifically investigated how many underground dungeons the Heavenly Dawn Sect possessed, but the one before her clearly would not be easy to enter.
Slipping inside without alerting anyone would be harder still.
The entrance to this dungeon existed here in an invisible state. Had Su Jiu and Chu Luohen not already reached the Spirit Severing Stage, allowing them to sense its presence through fluctuations in spiritual qi, they might have needed much longer to find it.
Su Jiu gathered spiritual qi in her palm and gently pressed it against the invisible door.
Before long, a black door appeared in what had originally been an utterly empty space.
Yes, there was only a door, and nothing else.
