But since they could already leave, Ye Tiancheng and his group did not dare to delay. They immediately took Ye Wuji with them and hurried towards the exit.
Returning to the original tomb chamber, everyone could see that the door of that tomb chamber had been opened.
As long as they went out from there, they would be able to escape this place.
Ye Tiancheng then asked Ye Wuji again, "If we go out from here, is there anything else we need to pay attention to? Are there any mechanisms inside?"
Ye Wuji thought carefully before saying, "They always leave like this. Leaving from there, they should not be too wary of me. After all, they should not think that I have the ability to escape from here."
"So, the exit should really be here."
"However, I have never been here myself, so I cannot be sure if there will be any other dangers behind this door."
"The reason I know why your companion entered here is because those people mentioned it, and that's how I knew."
Since Ye Wuji was not very clear about this matter, Ye Tiancheng and the other two did not push him, nor did they think Ye Wuji was unreliable or lying because of this.
They had already signed the contract, and the atmosphere before was quite good.
Ye Wuji should not have deliberately deceived them.
After confirming the situation, Ye Tiancheng said to the little fox and Liang Ping, "Since we cannot know the situation ahead in advance, we should still be more vigilant. You two follow me closely, be careful, and absolutely do not fall behind or get into trouble."
Liang Ping and the little fox nodded after hearing Ye Tiancheng's words, indicating they understood.
Then, their group walked into the stone door that had finally opened, leading to the exit.
Behind this stone door was not the outside world, but it was understandable. After all, this was a tomb chamber, and tomb chambers were usually underground. Therefore, the door of a tomb chamber could not lead directly to the outside world as soon as it opened.
Behind the stone door was a long, dark alleyway with no light at all.
Ye Tiancheng and his group naturally would not walk in the dark.
They each took out flashlights as light sources. Fortunately, in such a place, flashlights were still useful for lighting and would not be rendered ineffective by any unscientific forces.
Then, to prevent their group from getting separated or being swapped out halfway, they also took out ropes. The three of them were tied together and held onto each other.
As for Ye Wuji, since he was being held in Ye Tiancheng's arms, there was no need to worry. Ye Tiancheng would naturally be responsible for bringing him out of this place safely.
This alleyway was quite long, and it took Ye Tiancheng and his group a lot of time to walk out of it.
However, they were quite fortunate. They walked all the way out without encountering any accidents and got out very smoothly.
After coming out of the alleyway, they were finally faced with another stone door.
However, opening this stone door was not as troublesome as the mechanisms they encountered in the tomb chamber. The difficulty was much lower, and it was easy to open.
Ye Tiancheng and his group thus smoothly left the place that had trapped them.
After leaving there, they all discovered that the outside was a vast peach forest. They could see that the outside was entirely peach trees, and only peach trees.
The peach trees were all in bloom, blooming brilliantly.
In terms of scenery, it was quite beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
However, for Ye Tiancheng and his group, seeing such a peach forest inevitably made them vigilant.
Because, according to some sayings, besides being beautiful, and possibly indicating marriage or other things, peach blossoms, from another perspective, peach wood can also ward off evil and even block yin and yang.
Based on the location of this peach forest, more things could not be determined, but one thing was certain.
This peach forest was at least on the outskirts of the previous tomb.
Being in such a place, it was bound to feel bad.
However, Ye Wuji probably did not understand these things, so his expression was much more relaxed. At first, he was clearly very happy to find that he had finally left the place that had trapped him.
He even dared not believe that his wish had truly come true and that he had regained his freedom.
It could be seen that Ye Wuji was in a very good mood.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng and the others did not tell Ye Wuji much about the current situation. It was not that they were guarding against him, but rather they hoped he would be happy for a while longer. And if anything happened, they would pay more attention.
If anything really happened, Ye Wuji, who had been trapped in the tomb chamber for a long time, would probably not be able to help much with these matters. It would be better to let him be happy and not worry about trivial things.
As they searched for a way to leave, the little fox chatted with Ye Wuji, helping him to relax.
It was also to prevent everyone from being too tense or stressed.
The little fox asked Ye Wuji, "Now that you can finally leave that place, have you thought about where you want to go or what you want to do?"
However, as soon as the little fox finished asking this question, he felt something was not quite right. He seemed to have asked a question he shouldn't have. Because of the little fox's question, Ye Tiancheng and Liang Ping both glanced at the little fox slightly.
However, at this moment, it was too late to stop or change the subject.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng and Liang Ping did not say anything more about it.
Ye Wuji, on the other hand, did not feel so much. After hearing the little fox's question, he really thought about it seriously for a while and did not speak for a long time.
After a long while, Ye Wuji hesitantly said, "Actually, I don't really know where I should go or what I should do after I leave."
"Before, I only thought about leaving, but the hope of leaving was also very slim."
"Now that I have suddenly gained freedom, I am really a little, a little unsure of what to do."
As he said this, Ye Wuji's expression did indeed show a hint of confusion.
After listening to what Ye Wuji said, the little fox said to Ye Wuji, "It's okay. Anyway, you are free now. As for what you will do or where you will go, you can think about it slowly. You will have plenty of time in the future."
Ye Wuji slowly nodded after hearing the little fox say this.
Suddenly, Ye Wuji asked the little fox hesitantly, "If possible, can you let me follow you for now?"
"...I don't mean anything else, but I really don't know where I can go. I have no home to return to, and I won't grow up. Or I can only turn into a bird. Like me, I probably won't be able to survive after going out."
Ye Wuji also vaguely knew that a person who looked like a child could not survive properly in human society alone.
This was indeed a problem.
In fact, even if someone like Ye Wuji were sent to a welfare home, it would not be allowed.
Because he was not an ordinary child.
Ye Wuji could exist for a very long time, a non-human who would always have the appearance of a child.
For someone like him, if he wanted to register normally and obtain his identity, he would have to go to the Special Operations Department for identity registration. Before that, he would need to complete an assessment to obtain identity certification.
However, all of this depended on Ye Wuji being able to truly leave here.
The reason the little fox paused after asking about Ye Wuji's future plans and thought he shouldn't ask such a question was because the little fox suddenly remembered that Ye Wuji did not exist in the real world at all.
He existed in a mirror world.
This mirror world was not even on the normal timeline.
Under such circumstances, would Ye Wuji truly have a future? Even if they brought him out, and if Ye Wuji wanted to follow them, could they really bring Ye Wuji back to the real world?
Although he thought this in his heart, when Ye Wuji actually proposed to follow them, the little fox could not bear to refuse him.
But the little fox felt that he was not the one who could make the decision.
Moreover, the little fox did not know how to take Ye Wuji out, so the little fox could only immediately cast a pleading look towards Ye Tiancheng, who was holding Ye Wuji.
Ye Wuji thought that since the little fox said he was picked up by Ye Tiancheng, he should have been following Ye Tiancheng all along.
Therefore, the little fox looking at Ye Tiancheng like this probably meant that Ye Tiancheng should make the decision.
Although thinking this way was indeed not wrong.
Ye Wuji also turned his gaze to Ye Tiancheng's face.
Ye Tiancheng was much more composed and did not fully reveal his thoughts on his face. After listening to the conversation between the little fox and Ye Wuji, Ye Tiancheng said, "Of course you can follow us. It doesn't matter anyway. Wuji has also helped us, so it is right for us to help you."
"Moreover, with your appearance, you indeed do not have the conditions to survive independently in human society. Therefore, if you hadn't mentioned it, we would have asked you if you were willing to come with us."
The little fox breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ye Tiancheng say this.
However, he could not help but be curious.
Since Ye Tiancheng had agreed to Ye Wuji like this, how would they take Ye Wuji with them when they left Xiaojing City later?
This was indeed a serious problem that made one unsure of what to do.
