Princess Against the World

"That must be the case. He knew that he would be trapped in that place and couldn't get out, so he arranged a fake substitute..."

As soon as Mrs. Lian finished speaking, she was interrupted by Gu Lan.

"But he didn't expect that he would leave and never come back. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to come back. Why would he arrange a fake substitute?"

"Indeed, if he had known that it was so dangerous and a dead end... I don't think he would have gone!" Lu Ming hit the nail on the head and said the most crucial words.

Even if he is the God Lord, he is still a person who is afraid of death.

Since he is afraid of death, he will not risk his life in vain.

"Something must have gone wrong, so he couldn't come back..." Gu Lan made the point again.

"None of us have ever gone in, how can we know what went wrong?" Mrs. Lian looked disgusted: "What you have been saying here for a long time is in vain, isn't it?"

"So, we have to find a way to solve this problem!"

"It's easy to say, how to solve it? Unless we really go in and see what's going on inside, we can know where the mistake went!"

"That's exactly what I meant!"

"..."

Mrs. Lian was stunned.

Her casual comment was now copied by Gu Lan.

"Gu Lan, are you telling the truth or are you lying?"

"When have I ever joked with you?" Gu Lan's expression was very genuine.

"It's just because I know you can't joke, that's why I find it incredible!" Lu Ming tilted his head and looked at him seriously: "Is the suggestion you just made really serious?"

"certainly!"

"Then have you ever thought about the price you will pay after you say this?"

"certainly!"

"Are you going to taste this price yourself, or do you want others to... experience this price for you?"

"Haha, Lu Ming, you don't have to beat around the bush, and I won't talk nonsense!"

Gu Lan patted the wrinkles on his clothes with a calm expression.

"Everything I say is true, and I don't intend to let others take risks. I have many loyal people under my command. As long as I give the order, there will be many people who want to go through fire and water for me. But they can’t replace me!”

No matter who goes, the final result may be that they will never return and die in another dimension.

If that's the case, what's the point of sending so many people to die?

"If they can't give me the answer I want, then there's no need to kill someone!"

"You are really crazy!" Lu Ming shook his head in disbelief as if looking at a dead person: "That is an unknown world, full of dangers, and you actually want to try it yourself?"

"This is life, you won't understand. This kind of life is my life, Gu Lan!"

Some people are born to take risks.

If they were allowed to sit there comfortably, with three meals and one night a day, watching the sunrise and sunset with their wives and children, and the clouds rolled in the wind, they would die of loneliness.

"So, you two don't have to worry. I won't let any of you take risks. I just want to collect some more stories about the place before I go, so that I won't be too passive then!"

Gu Lan's words seemed to only stimulate Lu Ming and Mrs. Lian.

The two of them were silent, seeming to be thinking about something or making a final decision.
