"Stop right there!" Xu Xin directly pulled her back.
Though he couldn't really restrain her with his strength, Zeng Tao still stopped, looking back in confusion, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"...Is there something wrong with this staircase?" From behind, Shi Wanyun spoke up, asking softly.
"That's right." Xu Xin nodded, then flicked Zeng Tao on the forehead, "If I hadn't stopped you, you might have been dead by now. You've been cautious following me for so long, and when danger comes, you almost got into trouble."
"Ugh..." Zeng Tao covered her forehead, then hid behind Xu Xin, muttering, "How was I supposed to know there'd be a problem with the staircase... There were no issues on the first level."
"Really? The staircase has issues?" Lou Fei'Er exclaimed in surprise, "That's the opposite of the first level!"
"...It probably exploits this kind of mindset." Jin Yue spoke.
Xu Xin nodded.
The person who designed this palace trap indeed had some ideas.
