Chapter 124: Chapter 124 Disappearance (6)_1

Zhuge Feng sat dazedly in the lake, the icy chill on his body had vanished, and his whole body slowly warmed up. However, he felt his heart was so very cold. Shangguan You had vanished, vanished right before his eyes.

The lakebed was serene, without any disturbance. Where could he possibly find Shangguan You?

A black figure appeared before Zhuge Feng. A large hand reached out, lifting the dazed man out of the lake.

With a THUD, Zhuge Feng’s drenched body was dumped onto the ground. A burning pain from his backside snapped him out of his daze. Looking at the small lake bathed in the silver moonlight before him, everything seemed so beautiful.

It was as if nothing had happened. Yet, whether it was Zhuge Feng or the five from Meiyi, they knew very well that everything just now had indeed occurred. The lake water had truly seemed to possess life.

Zhuge Feng suppressed the various uneasy feelings in his heart. The man who had disappeared with Shangguan You moments ago—his aura was so powerful. Such a powerful man should have a way to safely bring Shangguan You out. At this thought, Zhuge Feng inexplicably felt a sense of relief. He glanced at the five from Meiyi, who were lying on the ground, barely breathing.

He then turned his gaze back to the dark figure beside him. The man seemed young, yet also old. His pale face was devoid of any color, and he was as cold as a block of ice. Even though he stood quietly in front of him, Zhuge Feng couldn’t sense any aura from him.

Had it not been for seeing his figure and the ghostly way he had lifted him from the lake, Zhuge Feng would have doubted if he was even human. Did he even have an aura?

Such a man could strangely make people overlook his presence; his very presence felt even weaker than that of the five from Meiyi.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Zhuge Feng asked, looking at Ye Ying beside him, his voice cold. Is this man friend or foe?

"Ye Ying." His voice was devoid of emotion, as if he were discussing matters that had nothing to do with him. His gaze was fixed on the tranquil waters of the lake, then shifted to the five from Meiyi. From them, Ye Ying sensed a dark aura. As a Hidden Guard myself, one who stands at the peak, these five are far too weak.

If the five from Meiyi knew what Ye Ying was thinking, they would undoubtedly cough up blood and die on the spot. In their circle, the five from Meiyi were indeed renowned; no one dared to look down on them. But that was only within *their* circle.

"Why did you save me? Who was it that just jumped in? Where are they now? Where can I find them? Will they be in danger?" Zhuge Feng asked hurriedly, his eyes anxiously scanning the small lake before him.

Ye Ying snorted coldly, his figure mysteriously vanishing into the night sky. His responsibility was to protect this boy’s safety; other matters were not his concern. If even the Young Master he served couldn’t rescue Shangguan You, then no one in this world could. Zhuge Feng doubting that Young Master is tantamount to doubting me, an insult to our Ye Family Clan!

Zhuge Feng was momentarily baffled, but then he slowly came to terms with it. Tonight’s events have been too bizarre. If water can possess life, then a man vanishing into thin air is something I can calmly accept.

"Young Master, come back with us!" Meiyi pleaded again with Zhuge Feng, spitting out blood as he spoke. He had already struggled to his feet, the five of them supporting each other. This was the first time they had been in such a dire situation.

"If you don’t want to die, get lost! Go back and pretend you never saw me. And you’d better not speak of what you saw tonight, otherwise... HMPH!" Zhuge Feng snorted coldly, a terrifying aura emanating from him. I am weak now, but that doesn’t mean I’ll be weak forever. One day, I will reclaim everything I’ve lost! But that must be because I am willing, not because I’m being used as a tool!

"Young Master, this place is too eerie. You should really come with us. Especially this water... and as for the young lady who just went in, it’s still uncertain if she’ll make it out alive," Meiyi said, still feeling a creeping dread from what had just happened. They couldn’t rest easy with the Young Master staying here alone.

"Get lost! You think everyone is as selfish as you are? And she’ll be fine! Even if everyone else in the world dies, she will not!" Zhuge Feng cursed angrily. Ignoring the five, he walked to the edge of the small lake and stared quietly at its waters.

The Jade Dew Pill Shangguan You had given him caused a warm current to flow slowly through his body, making him feel a hundred times more energetic. The strength he had just lost was slowly recovering, and his internal injuries were also gradually healing. Once my strength is fully restored, I’ll drain this entire lake! Since Shangguan You was sucked into it, all its secrets must be at the bottom.

Even if I have to dig three feet into the earth, I *will* find Shangguan You!

He had to save Shangguan You. No matter where she is now, I will definitely find her! I won’t allow her to meet with misfortune! I, Zhuge Feng, will not allow it! For the first time, Zhuge Feng felt a profound worry, a profound fear. He stepped into the lake, heading towards the exact spot where Shangguan You had vanished, and began to investigate, even starting to dig. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

I refuse to believe that two people could just vanish like that! They must have been swept into some place. I’m sure I can find the entrance!

The suction on her feet grew stronger, heavier. Shangguan You’s entire body was pulled down. I thought it would be pitch black... but instead, she found herself in a world of watery blue. She was surrounded by countless water bubbles, which made GURGLING sounds as they constantly rose upwards.

As these water bubbles rose, they also continuously squeezed her body. Below her was a long, watery blue passage with no end in sight. Her body was rapidly sinking into it.

This made her feel extremely uncomfortable. The water in her spatial storage had also inexplicably stopped flowing. No matter how I command it, the water from my spatial storage won’t descend! Her body was slowly sinking, being pulled downward.
