Jiang Xun frowned and looked a little hesitant.

At this time, the rapid footsteps outside the door gradually came to your ears from a distance.

That was the dead soldiers who emerged from the mountain after receiving the order from Zhan Beihan and gathered on the top floor.

Zhan Beihan looked at Jiang Xun coldly: "If you waste time, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

As he said that, he ignored it and turned around and walked to the side of the study.

Xiao Lingyue didn't leave, looking at Jiang Xun.

Maybe her attitude is softer than Zhan Beihan, Jiang Xun couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "We agreed at the beginning that you should help me leave here safely, otherwise I wouldn't take the risk of bringing you in."

Xiao Lingyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Aren't I helping you already?"

"But only half a stick of incense! Time is too tight. There are so many trees on the mountain walls, so it takes time for me to avoid them. Where can I get it?" Jiang Xun said a little dissatisfied.

"If you are afraid that you don't have time to escape, you can stay." Xiao Lingyue looked at him calmly, "You have the final say on how to choose." "But didn't you say that there would be dangers to stay?" Jiang Xun became more and more dissatisfied.

"Yes, it's really dangerous to stay. So isn't it dangerous to leave alone?"

Xiao Lingyue laughed and patted his head, "Young man, I think you are young and smart. The suggestions I give you are the most beneficial to you, but you have fallen into this place. Whether you escape or stay, you have to take some risks, right?"

Where is there a truly absolutely safe option?

Not to mention Jiang Xun, even with the abilities of Xiao Lingyue and Zhan Beihan, being in such a place also took great risks.

Jiang Xun: "But we clearly agreed"

"Then I'll teach you another reason at the end." Xiao Lingyue pressed his shoulders and looked at his eyes, with a calm and cruel tone.

"You are fourteen years old this year. In Nanyan, you are already an adult, no longer a child protected by others. Only children will naively feel that you must do what you agree with others. The adult world often has many variables. These variables cannot be controlled by humans, nor can you change them just by your wishful thinking. Do you understand?"

"Then aren't you going back on your word?" Jiang Xun said subconsciously.

"Why did you go back on your word? I promised to help you leave here, but I didn't guarantee that you will not be in danger, right?"

Xiao Lingyue patted his shoulder with amused expression, "If you have time to argue with me here, it's better to make a decision quickly, otherwise if you delay any more, you may not even have half a stick of incense."

Jiang Xun is not a stubborn person. Although he is dissatisfied with this, he also knows which one is more important.

He gritted his teeth and thought: "Okay! Half an incense stick is half an incense stick!"

Xiao Lingyue reminded again: "You remember the time in your heart. If half of the incense stick has arrived and you have not reached the bottom of the mountain yet, either we cut off the hemp rope to let you die for yourself, or let the hemp rope be kept like this. It is a blessing or a disaster. You will depend on your luck."

This is to prevent the calculation time of both parties from being inconsistent, and there will be a time difference in between.

Xiao Lingyue had already estimated that it was indeed a bit nervous for half an incense stick. Jiang Xun might not be able to reach the real bottom of the mountain, but it must be not far from the bottom of the mountain, and it was a little over ten or twenty meters away.
