Besides, wasn't Chu Xuan's action a bit rushed? Last night, after all...
Pei Shurou shook her head, washed her face thoroughly, and upon returning to stand before Chu Xuan, she resumed her usual cold fairy demeanor.
"Let's go."
Chu Xuan was about to agree when he suddenly paused and said awkwardly, "Um, Fairy Pei, do you know the Earth Escape Technique?"
Pei Shurou naturally shook her head, "The Five Elements Escape Technique requires a specific special constitution to master; I certainly don't have that."
We're a hundred miles underground here, does she expect me to dig up bit by bit with a flying sword?
In the end, Chu Xuan had to say in as gentlemanly a tone as possible, "Fairy Pei, the situation is like this, I'm still not proficient with the Earth Escape Technique."
"If I were to take someone with me, the speed would be relatively slow, and the area covered by earth element magic is limited."
"If we are to go up together, we might need to be a bit... closer."
