"Heh heh. Then can you keep it a secret for me?" Too many of Wei Zhao's secrets had already become known to Tian Chan. Though the two of them seemed on good terms now, that was founded on the circumstance that neither could leave this place. Once they got out and parted ways, Wei Zhao feared Tian Chan might, under pressure from her sect, say something—and then his secrets would be exposed.
"All right..." As if possessed by some ghost, Tian Chan actually nodded and agreed to Wei Zhao's request. After agreeing, even she found it incredible—she had actually agreed to keep his secret? Was it because he had saved her? Perhaps. She was not one to forget a kindness.
"Thank you." For some reason, Wei Zhao believed Tian Chan's words as well. He always felt there was some indescribable connection and trust between them—just what it was, Wei Zhao could not say either. "Then now, let's still figure out how to get out of here."
"Even with your Heaven-Sent Spring Rain, we'd still have a hard time leaving this place." Tian Chan shook her head. "First, even if you can use the technique to restore my stamina, you might restore me once, or twice—but can you restore me a third time? I'm an expert at the peak of the late Heaven Rank. To begin with, the stamina and true qi in my body is greater than yours; even if you gave me every last bit of stamina and true qi in your body, it would only buy me two more leaps—hardly decisive. And besides, how are the two of us supposed to jump up there together?"
"Those two worries of yours aren't really problems." Wei Zhao waved a hand. "First, I can restore my own stamina and true qi and keep triggering the technique. Second, you tie me to your back—that way, when you jump, you'll carry me with you."
"You can restore your stamina and true qi?" Tian Chan was startled. "How long would that take? As far as I know, once you've triggered techniques in succession and used up all the stamina and true qi in your body, it's impossible to recover without a good stretch of cultivation to replenish it, isn't it?"
"It only takes me a little while." Wei Zhao smiled. "Look at me—I healed my own wounds, then healed yours, then grilled fish. That must have used up no small amount of stamina and true qi, and yet my stamina and true qi are now abundant."
Tian Chan was startled and looked at Wei Zhao in astonishment. And Wei Zhao deliberately circulated his mental cultivation method and incantation, letting Tian Chan sense a clear, unmistakable surge of vigor. After a long while, Tian Chan said, "You really are formidable. There aren't many people I admire—you're one of them..."
"Heh heh. If we weren't sharing adversity right now, I wouldn't be telling you so many secrets." Wei Zhao shrugged. "So, how about my proposal?"
"That would work... but tying you to my back..." Against her will, an extremely ambiguous and infinitely alluring scene floated up in Tian Chan's mind! Wei Zhao's whole body pressed against her back, and then the two of them leaping up the cliff face together... (To be continued.)
