Su Jie and Ning Xinyue emerged from beneath Bihe Pond to find their surroundings utterly transformed.
The small pond had been artificially expanded by powerful shockwaves into a large lake hundreds of meters across, with the Exotic Treasure Lotus at its center.
"My Exotic Treasure."
Ning Xinyue was heartbroken as she saw the lotus floating in the water, her tears falling swiftly; it pained her deeply.
"Let's leave this place first, so no one suspects us."
Su Jie's mood was similar to Ning Xinyue's. They were so close to obtaining the treasure, but now could only watch helplessly as it flew away, inevitably feeling a pang of pain, though ultimately reason prevailed.
Therefore, Su Jie led Ning Xinyue away from the lake, and not more than half a minute had passed since the emergence of the Exotic Treasure.
Smoothly, Su Jie and Ning Xinyue blended among Chu Zai Ming and other disciples, pretending to have just woken up.
