Asking was the same as not asking.
Bai Xiao looked at the cave, dark and looming, with the occasional sounds emanating from within—indistinct human voices and the noise of machinery at work.
She bit her lip and finally couldn't help but ask, "Can I go down and look for him?"
"No!"
Xu Jing, Wei Ping, Shen Yu, followed by Fu Xue and Doctor Zhu who had just arrived, all shouted in unison.
So many voices yelling at once made Bai Xiao flinch.
"Young Madam, it's too cold. Play for a bit and then rest in the car. I'll go down into the cave and tell Young Master Ye you're here," Fu Xue, fully equipped, had already decided to descend with her injury.
Doctor Zhu frowned and barked at her, "You're not allowed to go down either!"
"Who are you to boss me around?" Fu Xue snapped back coldly.
