Bai Xi tried to stand. Her head was still spinning, and her legs were unsteady. Reacting quickly, Ye Xiao caught her by the arm to steady her.
Once she caught her balance and took a moment to recover, she thanked him and began to examine their surroundings.
"This is the secret room beneath the ancestral hall," Ye Xiao explained.
"Ancestral hall?" Bai Xi walked over to the door of the secret room and pressed her ear against it. Hearing nothing, she asked, "The ancestral hall is right above us?"
Ye Xiao nodded. "Tomorrow, they will hold some sort of dangerous ritual to turn us into their clansmen."
"Captain, did you not pass out?" Bai Xi asked curiously. She wondered how he had managed to gather so much information.
"My overall stats are higher than yours, so my resistance is a bit stronger," Ye Xiao said lightly.
Envious, Bai Xi gave him a thumbs-up. A top-tier expert truly was on a whole different level. She vowed to become just as formidable in the future.
