Thus, he clenched his jaw and picked the corpse up.
Gu Beicheng carried the corpse on his back and descended the mountain together with Lin Mingxi, leaving An Xiaoning alone in the cave with the spirits.
Apart from the night luminescent pearl, there was nothing else inside the coffin. An Xiaoning then put the lid back on.
"What must you guys do in order to leave this place?"
"We can leave anytime we'd like."
"I thought it'd be impossible for you to leave…" An Xiaoning murmured in shock.
"No, we were just abiding by Master's commands."
"Come with me then," said An Xiaoning.
On the way back, Gu Beicheng took over the wheel while Lin Mingxi rode in the passenger's seat, paralyzed by fear and anxiety.
An Xiaoning sat in the back seat, next to the corpse.
The cap had managed to keep his entire face obscured.
"Xiaoning, do we head back to the family mansion straight?" Gu Beicheng asked.
