You could not be too serious with the sprites, as they would not even realize that you were being serious with them or understand what seriousness meant...
So Hao Ren instantly gave up asking how the sprite could forget such a piece of important information, and instead got the sprite to explain more on what she knew about the Lair of Nightmares so better understand the thing...
Of course, staying in the ventilation tunnels near the core area for too long was not the smartest of moves so they went into a deeper tunnel with the sprite leading the way as they sought more information.
Like what the sprite had said earlier, she did not know too much about the Lair of Nightmare.
