Just as Su Yu was speaking, a rustling sound suddenly came from not too far away.
In their anxious concern, everyone had failed to notice that someone had approached them until they were quite close. Su Yu and the others realized it only then and immediately stood up and turned to look.
The visitor, whose footsteps on the ground had made the rustling sound, did not conceal their presence and walked straight toward them, asking aloud as they did, "Have any of you noticed the anomaly that just occurred here? I mean, the Candle of Life that reached up to the sky..."
Just as they said this, they seemed to remember they had said too much and hastily corrected themselves, "I mean just a giant candle reaching up to the sky. Did you notice anything?"
