Chapter 278: A Speculation on the Way Out of the Illusion
Suddenly, a flash of lightning cut through the night sky like a sharp sword, and then a deafening roar broke the silence.
Lin Qingqing was awakened from her sleep by the sudden thunder and murmured sleepily:
"Um?
She looked around, and the unfamiliar environment suddenly woke her up from her dazed state. She sat up straight with a "swoosh", and at this moment, a familiar voice came from her ears.
"Are you awake? How do you feel?"
Lin Qingqing turned her head immediately and saw Rong Zhao was safe and sound, lazily leaning against the tree trunk, looking at her with his head tilted. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and shook her head:
"Much better, Senior Brother, what's the situation now?"
Rong Zhao told her everything that happened afterwards and analyzed with her the current situation they were facing.
"That's just the way it is."
"That is to say, Senior Brother happened to encounter that monster. Otherwise, his life or death would be in danger."
Rong Zhao snorted softly and said:
"But now the monster at the bottom of the lake has awakened ahead of time. It is simply a fantasy to obtain the treasure under the water."
"Ah? Senior Brother, are you still thinking about the task assigned by your master?" Lin Qingqing was shocked and asked quickly.
"The only thing Bai Qingcang didn't lie to me about was the treasure hidden at the bottom of the lake. But he wanted to kill two birds with one stone. He wanted me to die here, and he also wanted to get the treasure. I just wouldn't let him have his way." Rong Zhao said with a dim look in his eyes and a serious expression.
Lin Qingqing gave Rong Zhao a thumbs up and nodded in agreement:
"Big Brother must not only be safe and sound, but also seize the treasure, then show off in front of him and anger the bad old man to death!"
Rong Zhao was amused by Lin Qingqing's words. He smiled with his eyes bent, which was particularly beautiful and charming. For a moment, Lin Qingqing could not help but stare at him, and was completely immersed in this charming smile. In her impression, she rarely saw Rong Zhao smile so cheerfully and freely. She couldn't help but feel happy for him and smiled too.
"You don't look like an undercover agent at all." Seeing Lin Qingqing staring at him intently with a look as if she was about to drool, Rong Zhao immediately put away his smile and asked her half-jokingly.
"I'm not an undercover sent by another sect!" Lin Qingqing rolled her eyes and immediately retorted.
Perhaps it was Lin Qingqing's overly serious expression that forced Rong Zhao to re-examine Lin Qingqing's identity, and for a moment he was immersed in thought. Both of them closed their mouths tacitly, enjoying the rare tranquility since entering the secret realm.
The sky is bright.
Lin Qingqing really had enough rest. Although the time passed much faster in the illusion than in the outside world, if she delayed any longer, she would not have enough time to return to reality and stop Chu Yu. This was completely different from her original intention, and she might no longer exist by then!
Lin Qingqing was shocked by her own thoughts and couldn't help but tremble all over. The problem was that Rong Zhao in the illusion didn't recognize her at all. Not only did he not cooperate with her, he also suspected that she was an undercover agent from another faction, and there was no way to communicate at all. The only way at present was to find a way out of the illusion by herself, but here it was either mountains or water, and she didn't notice any difference at all; if there was anything special, Lin Qingqing thought that starting with Bai Guyan who suddenly appeared might work.
Seeing Lin Qingqing suddenly tremble and look like she was in deep thought, Rong Zhao unconsciously asked with concern:
"what happened?"
