"Um?"

Hearing Li Qianqian's words, Qin Cheng frowned immediately.

Li Qianqian's voice was full of fear, as if she had encountered some terrible situation.

At this time, it is almost completely dark here, and there is no way to use spiritual energy.

Therefore, Qin Cheng could not see the specific appearance of Li Qianqian, but he could probably see that she was squatting on the ground behind her, and her body seemed to be shaking.

"Fellow Daoist Li, I told you that we broke in by other means. The formation here is not closed. If there is a brilliance or big movement, the formation will be activated." Qin Cheng shook his head.

"Then can I hold on to your clothes?" Li Qianqian said with a trembling voice.

Qin Cheng was stunned.

There is no danger here, and the puppet is in an inactive state. What is Li Qianqian afraid of?

"Fellow Daoist Li, you are not... afraid of the dark, are you?"

Qin Cheng was speechless and thought of an incredible possibility.

It seems to be an unlikely situation for a monk in the Tribulation Realm to be fearful of darkness.

But other than that, there is no other explanation.

"I really can't stand a completely dark environment. The place where I live is always brightly lit every night." Li Qianqian gasped.

"All right."

Qin Cheng shook his head. He didn't know how Li Qianqian developed this quirk, but he still took a step back and came to Li Qianqian's side.

"Sorry."

Li Qianqian stood up and reached out to hold the corner of Qin Cheng's clothes.

Then, the two moved forward again.

In the deep passage, the faint light outside gradually dissipated.

It was pitch dark all around, and even Qin Cheng couldn't see where Li Qianqian was.

However, he noticed that as darkness fell completely, Li Qianqian's fingers were trembling more and more violently, and his clothes were shaking as he pulled at them.

And it sounded like Li Qianqian's breathing was extremely rapid.

It was as if there was something terrible that almost took her life.

This kind of behavior cannot be faked. Li Qianqian is really afraid of something.

Qin Cheng then felt that Li Qianqian's beautiful hand suddenly let go of the corner of his clothes and grabbed his clothes.

So cold.

Through his clothes, Qin Cheng could feel that Li Qianqian's palms were as cold as ice.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I'm sorry."

Listening to the voice, it felt like Li Qianqian was about to cry.

"It's okay. If you're too scared, just come closer."

Qin Cheng sighed in his heart, hesitated, and held the other person's hand with his backhand.

He felt that for Li Qianqian, this darkness was definitely not as simple as the lack of light.

Li Qianqian must have had some extremely painful and frightening past events in the dark.

"Thanks."

When the skin touched, Qin Cheng felt that Li Qianqian's jade hands were cold and bone-chilling.

But at this moment, if he didn't hold her back, Li Qianqian might not even have the strength to walk, and Qin Cheng wouldn't think too much.

Sensing the temperature of Qin Cheng's palm, Li Qianqian's breathing was obviously more even, and her delicate body was not trembling so much.

The two immediately walked forward side by side.

When walking out of this dark passage, Li Qianqian almost leaned on Qin Cheng, relying on Qin Cheng's strength to walk through the last section.

When the light shines again.

Qin Cheng was surprised to find that Li Qianqian's face was as pale as paper and her clothes were soaked with sweat.

It was like going through a life and death battle.

She curled up on the ground, her beautiful eyes no longer sparkling as before, but filled with tears, like a child in danger, full of helplessness and pity.

Qin Cheng was silent and didn't ask anything.

Li Qianqian's appearance suddenly reminded him of himself.

When I was young, I was ridiculed by my peers for not having parents. When I saw children passing by on the street being held hands and loved by their parents, they huddled sadly in the corner of the bed at night. It seemed to be the same.

Li Qianqian must have had the same painful past as myself.

Qin Cheng waved his hand.

Sixteen flames appeared, and the surging brilliance lit up the world.

This place has been separated from the range of the previous puppet formation, so there is no need to worry about touching the formation.

These flames then surrounded Li Qianqian, illuminating the place where she was, brightly lit and as warm as spring.

Gradually, Li Qianqian stopped sobbing and returned to her usual state little by little.

"I'm sorry, fellow Taoist, I was a little out of control before."

Li Qianqian took a deep breath, wiped her eyes, and forced a smile.

"It doesn't matter." Qin Cheng shook his head and said.

"I can understand your current emotions."

Qin Cheng stretched out his hand again. Li Qianqian looked at Qin Cheng and found that his eyes were not filled with pity or sympathy that ordinary people would have, but a sense of mutual resonance.

He stretched out his hand and let Qin Cheng pull it up.

Holding Qin Cheng's hand again this time and feeling the warmth in his palm, Li Qianqian's heart suddenly couldn't help but beat wildly.

It seems that along the way, he has been letting Qin Cheng lead him.

As a saint of Tianling Pavilion, I have never been touched by a male cultivator, or even held hands, or even leaned against him, and walked through such a long passage.

Li Qianqian's whole body was still a little cold before, but now her cheeks are a little red, as if they are on fire.

"Where is this?"

Feeling that something was wrong with her mood, Li Qianqian quickly took a few deep breaths to adjust her mood.

After that, she also looked around.

This place is also a platform, but it looks quite bright among the brilliance of flames released by Qin City.

"Do you feel that this place is very similar to the Illusion Formation Heart you cracked before?"

Qin Cheng didn't notice Li Qianqian's mood swings. He was walking forward and observing the ground.

"Here? It's indeed very similar. It seems to be another big heart."

Speaking of this, Li Qianqian's eyes suddenly widened.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, what do you mean?"

"Yes, this is almost the same as the formation center position above. In fact, there is not just one formation outside Linglong Pavilion, but two layers of formations." Qin Cheng said.

"You discovered this at that time?"

Li Qianqian judged the location, and it was indeed as Qin Cheng said.

They walked all the way back and really returned to the location of the heart platform before.

"Yes, that's why I asked you if you are willing to trust me and take a risk." Qin Cheng said lightly.

Li Qianqian was immediately surprised.

In this team, she is expected to be a formation breaker. She has a good understanding of formations, but she did not realize that there was another formation under the previous platform.

"If this puppet formation is touched, it will cause many puppets to attack, so you specially touched the formation to let the two giant dragons devour us. But what if we die?"

"I have made arrangements. Only part of the effects of these dragons will be activated, and we will not die." Qin Cheng shook his head.
