Sister Lan gave a brief account of what had happened.
But she had barely said a few sentences before He Yuanyue suddenly frowned. "Hmm... wait. What you just said... tell me again in more detail."
Sister Lan dared not delay and recounted everything she knew in as much detail as possible.
However, Sister Lan did not know much about the whole affair. She only knew that after leaving the city, they had begun working on reversing the Wenshui River. She knew nothing whatsoever about what had happened before that.

"Oh?"
"I went straight outside the city to wait for everyone
