Upon hearing this, Chu Lingjun furrowed her brow slightly, sensing there was more to this woman than met the eye. In her current situation, she was completely clueless, so it might be better to hear what the woman had to say.
She didn't agree right away. Instead, she looked at the woman and asked, "And how am I supposed to know if I can trust you?"
"What if I listen to you and end up trapped here myself? Wouldn't the loss far outweigh the gain?"
"You can choose not to listen to me," the woman said, shaking her head with a smile. "But then you'll just have to stay here with me forever. Neither of us will get to leave."
Chu Lingjun refused to be swayed by a single threat. She said coolly, "From the looks of it, you must have been trapped in this place for a very long time. If we're talking about escaping, you should be far more desperate to leave than I am. You need to think carefully about whether you truly want to get out or not."
