Chapter 67
While exploring, they found that the underground had been constructed by Yan Shu into a real maze, dark and twisting, with no way to find a way out.

It took half a day of searching before they heard a response from one person - Qi Meng Sheng's voice which came through the wall, but after trying several paths, they were unable to see each other. According to Qi Meng Sheng, she was with Chen Xing Yong, while she could hear a voice coming from the other wall, which came from Li Bu Yu, and Xu Zhi Nan was nowhere to be found.

No one knew exactly how many people had fallen. No one knew how to meet up with each other around layers upon layers of heavy stone walls. If they forced themselves to break down the wall, they risked being buried alive.

The three of them leaned listlessly against the stone wall, in absolute darkness that could easily give rise to a sense of chaos.

"I wonder what method Father is thinking of saving us this time?" Zong Zi Xiao said sullenly, "I've thought it over, and we don't seem to have any magical weapons in Zong clan that can move the stones out of the way without causing a collapse. Brother, can you think of any?"

Zong Zi Heng shook his head, remembering again that they couldn't see, and spoke, "I can't think of any for now either, and I don't know how long it would take if we were to move it by hand." After a moment of silence, he sighed, "After thinking about it, I'm afraid that in this situation, only Brother Xu can break it by wearing the Golden Carved Jade Suit."

Zong Zi Xiao snorted lightly, "He's not even the Sect Leader, how could he have the Golden Carved Jade Suit?"

"... Right." Zong Zi Heng originally thought that Xu Zhi Nan had gotten the Seven Star Life-Sustaining Lamp despite not being a sect leader, but then he thought that the Golden Carved Jade Suit was the most precious treasure of the Chunyang Sect, so it was impossible to give it to Xu Zhi Nan now in any case.

"Is he planning to trap us or sneak up on us while it's dark?" Hua Yu Xin hugged her knees tightly and asked in a small voice.

"I can't guess, but he must be in the underground now just like us." Zong Zi Heng said softly, "Miss Hua, don't be afraid, not only are we trapped here, so is Yan Shu. If he wants to escape, he wouldn't dare to touch us easily."

"I'm not afraid of him." Hua Yu Xin pursed her lips, "I'm afraid of the dark."

Zong Zi Heng's heart softened, and he suddenly showed pity and tender love: "It's alright, I'll draw a fire talisman that will burn for a long time." He formed a seal with both hands and drew a talisman in the air, which instantly illuminated this side of the world.

"Don't you waste your spiritual energy on this." Zong Zi Xiao was furious. He didn't even need to look to smell the surge of affection between the two.

These two people, in terms of age, family and looks, were a perfect match, and they had an unfulfilled marriage contract ahead of them, so they were a match made in heaven no matter how one sees. Thinking about this, Zong Zi Xiao was so jealous until his teeth became sour*.

"It's not wasteful."

Both of them were smiling lightly with their heads hanging down, as if no words are necessary because all was understood, making Zong Zi Xiao feel like he was an extra here, interrupting their lovey-doveyness.

Zong Zi Xiao clenched his fist and punched the stone wall, "Flying Plume Ambassador!"

Qi Meng Sheng gave a "hmm" through the wall.

"Do you still have Gong Shu Ju?"

"Yes."

"Do you think we can get out if we shrink the stone?"
