Half of the door in front of them was still intact. Zhou Cangyan looked at it and reached out to push it open.
But as his hand was about to touch it, the door fell away with a CLANG, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Song Lianhe reacted without thinking, hiding behind him and burying her face in his back.
The man stood his ground, lowering his head slightly as the corners of his mouth curved into a small smile.
Song Lianhe slowly peeked out from behind him, her eyes narrowed. "This place is too dangerous."
"I'll go down. You stay here."
"No!"
In a panic, she grabbed his sash, her eyes urgent.
Thinking she was afraid of being alone, he turned to face her, his cold, dispassionate eyes reflecting only her image.
"I don't know what the situation is down there. You'll be safe here. I'll go down and check."
"Then... alright, then."
She glanced at the hole blasted into the floor below. If she went down, Zhou Cangyan would have to split his attention to look after her.
