Chapter 118: Sharing the same quilt in life, the same grave in death

"Junior Sister, I hope he can take me down the mountain."

After entering the Ancient Tomb, Li Mochou got straight to the point and explained her thoughts to Xiaolongnu.

Xiaolongnu suddenly began to envy Li Mochou's bravery—brave for herself, brave for love.

"Senior Sister, do you want him to be willing to die for you?"

But Xiaolongnu also felt puzzled; based on her understanding of Gu Hanyuan, if it were just a matter of saying he was willing to die for Li Mochou, she could just ask him directly, and he would likely agree without hesitation.

In her eyes now, Gu Hanyuan was that kind of person.

But clearly, Li Mochou didn't just want a simple sentence.

"Junior Sister, that secret passage you mentioned last night..."

Xiaolongnu understood as soon as she heard it.

Last night, the two had a rare late-night talk, chatting about many things from the past and many things their master had entrusted to them.

Among them was that there was a secret passage in the tomb chamber that led directly to the outside world.

Gu Hanyuan was outside the Ancient Tomb, pondering what kind of trick Li Mochou was trying to pull.

Suddenly, Hong Lingbo ran over, looking anxious.

"Brother Gu! Master and Martial Aunt fell into the pool!"

Hong Lingbo subconsciously used a more intimate form of address.

"Lingbo, don't be anxious first; what exactly happened?"

Gu Hanyuan actually already had a realization when he heard Hong Lingbo's words; in the Ancient Tomb, falling into a pool—it could only be that place, right?

He hadn't expected the two women to have such a small scheme; since that was the case, he would expand the scene a bit more.

Gu Hanyuan thought playfully.

"Brother Gu, just now Master and Martial Aunt were paying respects to the founder and discovered a secret door. After entering the secret door, there is a pool. Master accidentally fell in, and Martial Aunt jumped down to save Master, but they haven't come up for a long time."

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan didn't have any objections to the address and even called her by her name directly, Hong Lingbo's face flushed, and her nervous and worried expression almost broke.

"Lingbo, your lightness skill is too poor; point the way for me, and I will take you in."

As Gu Hanyuan spoke, he picked up Hong Lingbo.

Hong Lingbo didn't expect such a benefit; she looked at Gu Hanyuan's handsome face with her big eyes flickering, feeling that every place they were in contact with was starting to burn.

It wasn't until she heard Gu Hanyuan's reminder that she reacted and pointed the way for him.

Gu Hanyuan didn't have time to examine the environment inside the Ancient Tomb and soon brought Hong Lingbo to the pool inside the secret door.

"Lingbo, I'm going down to save your Master and Martial Aunt; don't follow me down."

As Gu Hanyuan spoke, he began to take off his outer garment, revealing his inner lining.

Hong Lingbo blushed when she saw Gu Hanyuan take off his outer garment; although he hadn't revealed his skin yet, it was stimulating enough for a maiden like her, especially since Gu Hanyuan had a model-like physique that looked thin in clothes and muscular out of them.

Although most of Hong Lingbo's attention had been drawn by Gu Hanyuan's physique, she still dutifully played her role.

"Brother Gu, there might be undercurrents in this pool, and I don't know where it leads. It's too dangerous for you to go down."

"Even if it's dangerous, I cannot abandon the lives of Miss Long and Fairy Li."

After Gu Hanyuan said this righteously, he jumped directly into the pool.

Hong Lingbo was stunned for a moment, knowing in her heart that her master's plan had succeeded.

She somewhat envied Gu Hanyuan's affection for the two women, but she didn't know if he would also disregard danger to save her like this if she fell into the pool.

After thinking for a while, Hong Lingbo sighed somewhat dejectedly; compared to her master and martial aunt, any woman would lack confidence.

She looked at the pool in a daze, praying that everything would go smoothly.

The pool in the Ancient Tomb had an underground passage leading directly to the outside world.

At this time, at the pool outside, Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou stood by the pool, soaked through, looking at the sparkling water, and were speechless for a moment.

It was Li Mochou who broke the silence, asking with somewhat malicious intent.

"Junior Sister, didn't you say you didn't like him? Why did you jump down together?"

"Senior Sister, your swimming ability isn't good enough; you might not be able to swim out."

Xiaolongnu only blushed slightly before saying the excuse she had prepared before jumping down.

If Gu Hanyuan knew, he would definitely sigh that she was growing up too fast.

"Senior Sister, must we use this method to test him?"

Xiaolongnu didn't know why she had a bad premonition in her heart.

"This is the fastest way."

Li Mochou was actually very hesitant, but her extreme personality still prompted her to make the decision.

"Senior Sister, do you think Gu Hanyuan will come?"

"I don't know."

Xiaolongnu was silent for a while before answering truthfully, suddenly adding a trace of worry.

"Senior Sister, this passage is full of undercurrents; if I didn't have the map left by the founder, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to swim out. Isn't it too dangerous for Gu Hanyuan to go down the passage knowing nothing?"

Upon hearing Xiaolongnu's words, Li Mochou froze, and her expression changed; she discovered that her plan had the biggest loophole—what if Gu Hanyuan couldn't swim out and died in the water?

Thinking of the worst possibility, Li Mochou suddenly had the thought of abandoning the plan.

But now Gu Hanyuan had probably already entered the water, and it wouldn't be easy to find him in there.

She could only endure the worry and pray that he would be safe.

But she also made the worst preparations in her heart.

Li Mochou did not hesitate and told Xiaolongnu her thoughts directly.

"If he really can't come up, then I will go down to accompany him." ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
