As Shi Guanming's corpse sank into the water, the fog over the lake gradually dissipated, and Shi Dali seized the opportunity to steer the boat towards the shore.
Shortly after reaching the shore, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching. Turning to look, a White Lantern floated out from around the corner.
It was Chu Xi who held the White Lantern, followed by Kuang Hongyi who was slightly hunched over, carrying someone on his back.
"What happened?" Shi Dali advanced to meet them. By now, the fog over the lake had entirely cleared, and the clouds above had split open, spilling moonlight down, signaling that the crisis of the night was over.
Shi Dali also held a lantern in his hand, which Yang Xiao had already noticed, "Exhausted. He passed out right after singing the last line."
Kuang Hongyi looked around but did not find Shi Guanming. An ominous premonition rose in his heart, "Where is Shi Guanming?"
