After a moment of thought, Jiang Lan gave his sleeve a gentle shake. A crystal-clear Moon Pearl instantly appeared in his palm.
A soft yet brilliant light radiated outward, illuminating everything within a hundred-foot radius.
"Young Master Jiang?"
Xiao Yingyue's voice came from nearby.
'Is it just my imagination,' Jiang Lan wondered, 'or does her voice sound like it's... trembling slightly?'
'She's bold enough to follow me all the way down here, yet she's scared?'
'Or is she just trying to fool me?'
"I'm over here," Jiang Lan replied.
After a moment's thought, he sat cross-legged on the ground. He circulated his Magical Power and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. It trickled from the corner of his mouth, staining his collar and making his face appear even paler.
His white robes, already stained with blood, now looked even more sinister.
Jiang Lan naturally didn't trust Xiao Yingyue, so he wanted to test her.
