Chen Yuyuan had already dried her hair. After listening to Xu Bai's words, she nodded. Xu Zhi sighed and said, "Alright, I know. Now that you two are back, don't run around. Stay home and behave yourselves. By the way, where is Uncle?"

Xu Bai said, "Uncle is still behind us. My brother-in-law chased us back. Uncle is traveling slowly in a carriage. Sister, we haven't had lunch yet."

Xu Zhi loudly called for the kitchen to prepare lunch. When her uncle returned, Xu Zhi ate lunch with them.

Seeing Xu Zhi's worried expression, Wu Muyue comforted her, "In the face of such a disaster, all we can do is try our best and leave the rest to fate. We have made all the necessary preparations. As for whether it will have any effect later, we can only leave it to God."

Xu Zhi could only nod. Indeed, in the face of the power of nature, humans can only avoid its sharp edge and try to earn a chance to survive under limited conditions.

It rained all night, and Xu Zhi didn't sleep well at all. When she woke up in the morning, the sky was still gloomy. The rain was much lighter than yesterday afternoon, but it continued to fall at a leisurely pace.

After a quick breakfast, Bai Ying came over and said that Xi Jing'an had arrived. Xu Zhi quickly got dressed and went to the outer room to see him.

After bowing to Xu Zhi, Xi Jing'an said in a low voice, "Madam, our master said that the dike can only hold for half a day at most, so he sent me to escort you out of the city."

Xu Zhi said in surprise, "Leave the city? What do you mean by leaving the city? I'm not going anywhere, I'll just wait in the city."

Xi Jing'an probably knew that Xu Zhi would answer like this, and said, "Madam, the lord said that the collapse of the dam is inevitable. The best course of action now is to save the lives of everyone in the city. As long as there are people, this city will be rebuilt sooner or later."

Xu Zhi waved her hand and said, "Go tell your adults that I will stay in this city and guard it until the very end. I have made all the necessary preparations. No matter how great the flood, I will always be able to escape unscathed."
