Mu Feng's face changed drastically. Just as she was about to use her magic power, several Chen Family members instantly crowded around and hurriedly pulled her away. "Chen Fangsi—just let him die. It's nothing!"
Good heavens...
Mu Feng's eyes had been opened. She developed an intense interest in Chen Fangsi, looking as though she would not rest until she truly played him to death.
The atmosphere inside Peaceful Medical Hall was utterly out of place with the outside world, even for Fourth Master.
The corner of his lips actually curled into a faint, bitter smile. "Mountain-Seated Duck put it well... very well..."
"Heh heh, Fourth Master, there's no need to take that dead duck's words to heart." He smiled faintly. "Its mouth is simply foul. It never thinks before it speaks."
"Chen Xun..."
Fourth Master's eyes were full of sorrow. "Even when our ancestors endured the Heaven-Earth Cataclysm, they never bowed their heads and perished. But this great flood... Spring Lantern City seems to have reached its end..."
Without realizing it, he began recounting Spring Lantern City's history—how their ancestors had fought natural calamities, how they had survived here, and the glorious history they had built.
Chen Xun listened intently, without the slightest impatience, yet he offered neither sighs nor words of warning.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
"Chen Xun!" Fourth Master suddenly grew somewhat agitated.
"Hm?" Chen Xun looked at Fourth Master.
"You should flee..." Fourth Master's voice remained agitated. "Flee this place. Before the great flood swallows Spring Lantern City, flee!"
The atmosphere within the medical hall became somewhat quiet.
Chen Xun looked deeply at Fourth Master and said with a faint smile, "Fourth Master, if it truly comes to that, we will naturally leave."
Several gazes quietly turned this way.
