Lu Sangjiu's thinking was simple.
Li Qiancheng had just helped her immensely, giving her a sliver of hope. With a bit of effort, she might just escape.
'But Li Qiancheng… His destiny was to end here. Every extra moment he lingers is a mortal threat!'
A flicker of shock crossed Li Qiancheng's face when he heard Lu Sangjiu's shout.
But since Lu Sangjiu had told him about his fated death before they entered the Secret Realm, he understood her meaning in an instant.
But he didn't leave; instead, his gaze grew even more resolute.
'So what if it's my fated death?'
'Am I supposed to abandon my Little Junior Sister just because I'm afraid to die?'
'Besides, I saw the Hell Grass! It's the only hope of saving Master!'
He also understood why Lu Sangjiu had turned back. She was willing to brave death to save their master. How could he, as her Eldest Senior Brother, do any less?
