The viewpoint zoomed in, and they saw that the dark shadow was actually a young woman in black, long hair draped over her shoulders, with a graceful figure.
Only her posture carried a trace of urgency, as she sped through Black Water Lake, stirring up surging waves of water behind her.
"Ye Xian, why are you rushing through the lake? Have you forgotten our lord's rules?"
A voice sounded by the woman's ear, and the woman called Ye Xian hurriedly said, "I went out earlier on our lord's orders, and now I've returned with urgent news!"
Having invoked "our lord," the sturdy woman who had just emerged from the black water no longer dared say anything, only moved aside to open the way, yet still frowned and reminded, "Do not act flustered, so as not to incur our lord's displeasure."
"Thank you for the reminder, Master Lan!"
Ye Xian replied, and though her speed did not lessen, she forced down her panic, regained a measure of calm, and headed inward.
