Upon hearing this, it was Long Xue who became stunned for a moment.
"Well... Senior brother, aren't you going to persuade me at all?"
She felt somewhat astonished. Wasn't it she who, regardless of the danger, had fought for the opportunity for Li Xiaobai to escape?
How could he not even utter some grand-sounding platitudes? Was he really being that direct?
"Between you and me, do we still need to say such useless nonsense?"
"You will buy time for me to escape, and I will rescue you afterward. It's that simple."
Li Xiaobai spoke indifferently, his ears trembling at a frequency as he discerned the approaching footsteps.
"So it is, senior brother, I believe in you!"
Long Xue's delicate face blushed slightly. She felt that she and Li Xiaobai had a mutual understanding and had gained his trust.
There was nothing more fulfilling than this; she felt that everything she had done was meaningful.
"Hmm, go ahead, I'll slip away first."
