There was no sign of movement from the surroundings. The two of them secretly let out a sigh of relief. Zhao E's eyes fell on the Heaven Lake Sword and said, "This sword of yours seems to be extraordinary."
Cheng Qing handed the Heaven Lake Sword to Zhao E Mei and said generously, "Go play with it."
Zhao E was surprised. "You're giving it to me like that?"
"If you want to play, then take it and play for a bit. If there's anything you want to hit, then hit it." Cheng Qing didn't mind. It had taken a lot of effort for him to make the Heaven Lake Sword recognize her master. Now that the Heaven Lake Sword was branded with his mark, there was no way for Zhao E Mei to take it in at all.
Zhao E giggled. "Young Master Chen's bearing is truly extraordinary."
As he spoke, he graciously received the Heaven Lake Sword and carefully examined it. As his scallion like fingers caressed the blade, he could not help but click his tongue in amazement.
A moment later, Zhao E Mei returned the Heaven Lake Sword back to Cheng Qing. "This sword should be something from the ancient times. I can feel an ancient aura emanating from it."
Cheng Qing put away his Heaven Lake Sword, smiled, and said nothing more.
Now that the two of them had entered the secret realm together, they might encounter some kind of danger that required them to fight side by side. If they did not have any trust in each other, it would be hard for them to take even a single step, and the reason for that was because Chen Qing placed more importance on the overall situation. He did not mind showing his goodwill, but he would not be so generous as to tell them everything about the origins of the Heaven Lake Sword.
It was already an outrageous thing to ask about other people's secrets. For Chen Qing to be able to show her the Heaven Lake Sword, Zhao E Mei was already very happy and satisfied. She felt that Cheng Qing was indeed just as she said, with an extraordinary bearing.
The cave was deep and tranquil. As the two walked along the cave, their vision soon grew dim. Chen Qing took out the Water Spray Pearl and used it as a light source. This bead could break through the Thousand Illusionary Array, and was a glowing object.
Without careful observation, it was difficult to detect. Statues gradually appeared on the two sides of the cliff, and they were all ferocious beasts. There were even torches on the sides, but most of them were already damaged.
"Why is this cave so eerie? It's scary." Zhao E withdrew her gaze from the two sides of the cliff. Her eyes sparkled as she shrunk her shoulders. She couldn't help but to keep up with Cheng Qing. The statue of a ferocious beast that was so dark that it terrified her.
Cheng Qing did not expect Zhao to have such a feminine side to him. He laughed to himself and said, "It's not surprising that no one comes all year round. However, it's not that difficult to breathe in this cave. I guess there's a way, and it wouldn't be sealed. "
The sound echoed through the empty cave, adding to the horror. Suddenly, Zhao E heard a ticking sound and felt something land on the back of her neck. She screamed and jumped away like a rabbit, her face instantly drained of color.
"The rock wall seeped water. It seems that we've reached a certain depth." Chen Qing held up the Water Essence Pearl and took a look at the wet stone wall. Droplets of water dripped down from time to time. He glanced at Zhao E Mei. She looked like a frightened little deer right now, but she was still strong and forceful, not wanting to lose face in front of Cheng Qing.
"If you don't mind, walk in front." Cheng Qing suggested that the person walking in front should not have to worry about ghosts behind him, but he should have a good amount of trust in the person behind him. After all, he had given her his back, and Chen Qing suggested this suggestion just to see if Zhao Er had any confidence in him.
