"Now that you know, you should know better, she won't let me die!"
Lin Bai told Li Guxian in a firm and affirmative tone.
Both the words and the words seemed to reveal a message, that is, Lin Bai was Li Guxian's only way to survive.
For a moment, Li Guxian did not answer Lin Bai.
There was a brief silence in the dungeon, not a single sound was heard, and even the sound of breathing froze.
Lin Bai was not in a hurry and leaned against the corner, waiting for Li Guxian's answer.
About half an hour later.
Li Guxian finally spoke, she said: "Based on my understanding of Mr. Lang, everything Mr. Lang does will have a clear goal and direction."
"This time you entered the princess's palace alone, there is no doubt that you came here to rescue Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang."
"Now they are here."
"Then I really want to know...Why does Lord Lang want to help me?"
"Is it because you are thinking about the old relationship?"
Thinking of this, Li Guxian couldn't help but sneer at the corner of her mouth, and said: "I do have some friendship with Mr. Lang, but it's not deep enough for Mr. Lang to help me out at all costs, right?"
Lin Bai chuckled and said, "Does the friendship between us have no value at all in your heart?"
Bang... Li Guxian couldn't help being stunned when she heard this.
Her cold and heartless heart actually showed signs of melting at this moment.
Since she was instilled with indifferent thoughts by her father, and received a twisted education in the Nine Nether Demon Palace, she has become ruthless and cold as ice.
The cowardice and cowardice shown on the surface by Lin Bai where she was before was just a deliberate disguise on her part.
Lin Bai said: "Forget it, since you no longer want to live, then it's up to you."
Li Guxian quickly regained her composure and said to Lin Bai: "The reason why Mr. Langhou chose to help me is just for Lu Qingjun and Yi Heze."
"Is it right?"
Lin Bai leaned against the wall with his eyes closed, without any words or answer.
Li Guxian said to herself: "You had already confirmed my identity before Lord Lang came to the princess's office, but you still came alone to ensure the survival of Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang.
Opportunity, right?”
"Because Lord Lang knows very well that if I am forced into a desperate situation, I will most likely choose to fight to the death!"
"As the princess of Chu State, I will never go to purgatory and be punished."
"When I choose to fight to the death, I will die, but also... Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang will both die!"
"So Lord Langhou came in early to try to find a way to rescue Meng Qixian and Nie Shang."
Li Guxian told her exactly what was in her mind, and Lin Bai didn't make any excuses, just said one sentence.
"Because I regard them as friends, of course I want to save them."
Li Guxian continued: "So now that Lord Lang is asking me to take you hostage and leave the imperial capital, he is actually asking me to take you to find Lu Qingjun and Yi Heze, so that you can have a chance to rescue them."
"Is it right?"
Lin Bai closed his eyes and replied feebly: "I am also trying to save you."
Lin Bai did not deny it, but he also did not admit it.
"Li Guxian, you don't have to talk nonsense here!"
Finally, Lin Bai opened his eyes, stared at Li Guxian and said, "I am your only way to survive now. You have no other choice but to kidnap me and leave the imperial capital!"
Daozi Yao Qian and Mu Cang, the chief helmsman of Jiuyou Demon Palace, both sneered in unison.
Mu Cang even spoke provocatively: "Master Lang Hou is too disrespectful to regard our Jiuyou Demon Palace in his eyes, isn't he?"
Lin Bai glared at Mu Cang and sneered: "How dare a mere deacon of the Nine Nether Demon Palace speak such nonsense?"
"Do you have a role to speak here?"
"Li Guxian is the goddess of the Demon Palace, and Yao Qian is also the Taoist disciple of the Demon Palace. What is your identity?"
"Just a deacon."
"You are not even considered a high-ranking member of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. You are at most a dispensable lackey."
"You have no place to speak here."
Lin Bai retorted in a few words.
Mu Cang suddenly felt humiliated, his eyes turned blood red, and he wanted to go up and teach Lin Bai a lesson.
"Back off."
Li Guxian said coldly.
"My Lady Goddess, he..." Mu Cang was a little unwilling.
"I let you! Back off!"
"Didn't you hear that?"
Li Guxian's expression changed, and she stared at Mu Cang with a pair of sharp phoenix eyes.
Although Li Guxian's cultivation strength is not as good as Mu Cang's, she is the goddess of Jiuyou Demon Palace after all, and her status is extremely high.
Even if Mu Cang had advanced cultivation, he would not dare to openly confront Li Guxian.
After all, there is a faction of warriors behind Li Guxian.
Mu Cang was so frustrated that he could only retreat angrily and stand aside without saying a word.
Seeing Mu Cang's appearance, Lin Bai couldn't help but smile. It seemed that it was the same in the Jiuyou Demon Palace. Strength was very important inside the Demon Palace, but status was even more important.
Li Guxian, whose cultivation was obviously not as advanced as Mu Cang's, was able to mobilize Mu Cang easily.
This is a status symbol.
“How do we work together?”
Li Guxian hesitated again and again, or did she plan to listen to Lin Bai's opinion first?
Lin Bai said: "Let Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang go, and you hold me hostage and leave the imperial capital!"
Li Guxian shook her head and said: "We can't let Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang go, but I can still kidnap you and leave the imperial capital."
Lin Bai replied: "Then after leaving the princess's office, I will immediately struggle to escape. When Chu Tinghan sees my actions, he will immediately bring people here, and you will definitely die!"
"You let Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang go, and I can be held hostage by you without any resistance!"
Li Guxian's eyes darkened.
This is indeed a problem.
If they want to leave the Imperial Capital alive, they must have Lin Bai's cooperation.
Once Lin Bai fails to cooperate, as long as he shows the slightest movement after leaving the princess's mansion, Chu Tinghan will come with his troops.
Li Guxian asked: "How can I believe that Lord Lang will not go back on his word?"
"It seems that you really don't regard me as a friend, and you don't even have this little trust in me."
Lin Bai leaned against the wall, looked up to the sky, sighed, and said, "No matter what, even if I don't want to help you, I still want to save Lu Qingjun and Yi Heze, so I won't act rashly until they are rescued."
"After all, their lives are in your hands now."
When Li Guxian heard this, her thoughts suddenly became clear.
"I will consider this matter carefully."
"Master Lang just said that I still have one hour to live. That means...the time agreed upon by Master Lang and Chu Tinghan is three hours?"
"Now I still have a moment to think about this matter."
"I will give you a reply in an hour."
After saying that, Li Guxian turned around and left.
Daozi Yao Qian and Mu Cang also left with her, and the thick stone door of the underground palace was closed again.
