With that look from her, Xia Zheng couldn't keep up the pretense any longer. Licking his lips and chuckling softly, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm defeated by you. I really haven't been to that lake, but I've heard from others that the lake's water is indeed abundant and clean. If it weren't for the fact that it's too far from here, there would have been no need to expand this river."
By that account, the water upstream must be even better, even more plentiful. Lin Yuan couldn't help but look upstream.
