Therefore, the fact that the task-taker has to come to set things right most likely means that something went wrong in some part of the main storyline involving the male protagonist.

She was still lost in thought, not even noticing the mocking shouts and insults coming from ahead.

The other party, however, assumed she was frightened and became even more arrogant.

Yun Zhiyi simply looked at the two groups of people who had appeared.

I glanced at Fu Ziyu again. So what's the purpose of today's match?

Before she could figure it out, the shouting from the other side grew louder and louder.

Yun Zhiyi frowned and simply raised her hand.

"careful!"

Before the warning could even register, Young Master Mu, who was spouting threats, felt a gust of wind from a palm strike.

The person was swept off the boat and fell into the water with a splash.

The dry clothes I just changed into are soaked again.

A rope was hanging from the side of the boat, and the guards who were struggling to pull their companion out of the water saw it and those who were nearby rushed over to try to pull him up.

The strange thing is that once they fall into the river, they sink and then seem to be welded in place, unable to be pulled out no matter what they do.

"Ahhh, ghost! A ghost is grabbing my foot! Pull me up quickly, hurry!"

Young Master Mu had fallen into the water earlier, and before he could even wrap his feet, he was rescued by the man in black.

This will also allow you to enjoy the same treatment as others.

Having done too many bad things in the past, I felt like my ankles were being restrained by something, and I was terrified. I frantically thrashed and screamed in the water.

They dragged all the guards who were pulling him into the water.

Then there were a few more splashes, and several more people appeared in the water.

Without exception, anyone who went down into the water would have their feet tangled.

At this point, everyone finally realized that something was wrong.

Even if the lake is really that lush with aquatic plants, it's too strange that everyone who falls in will inevitably get their feet tangled.

With Young Master Mu still shouting about ghosts, everyone's expression changed instantly.

Especially Luo Shuixian, her face turned pale.

It is said that what people fear most is the unknown, and what they dread most is making things up in their heads.

Things that were originally unfounded can be expanded upon infinitely once a direction is found.

"Save me, please save me, senior brother, senior brother, save me, mother~" Luo Shuixian's voice cracked with fear.

The others felt a chill run down their spines from the shouts of those two guys.

Even the onlookers on the boat were filled with doubt and surprise, let alone those who were in the water.

Yun Zhiyi narrowed her eyes, and suddenly the corners of her lips curved into a smile.

The water plants that had originally been wrapped around Young Master Mu and Luo Shuixian's ankles suddenly began to slowly creep along their waists and backs.

It felt as if a pair of cold hands were stroking them.

The two froze for a moment, then their cries became even more pitiful.

Luo Shuixian was so frightened that she fainted.

Strangely, she remained floating headfirst on the surface of the water without sinking.

Her maids and guards were sweating profusely with anxiety.

No matter what methods they tried, they could not break free from the strange water plants.

Could there really be ghosts in the lake?

Their pitiful cries quickly attracted the attention of those nearby who had been watching but didn't want to cause trouble.

Now, hearing people shouting about 'ghosts' makes them curious, and they start to gather around.

However, before they could get close, several large ships suddenly sped up from the surrounding area.

The ships were all flying black flags with white lettering.

Upon seeing the black flag flying, many people's expressions changed, and they quickly urged the boatman to leave.

While the Mu family gang may not be able to control everything in Lufeng City, they are known for their tyrannical and unscrupulous behavior, making them a constant source of trouble.

Yu Shaolian and his group also saw the Mu family boat approaching.

So he simply moved to the side, intending to continue watching the excitement.

The Mu family came in three large ships, each with many people standing on it.

Some were carrying large knives, some were holding large knives, and some were carrying long spears and clubs. They looked menacing, like gangsters coming to start a brawl.

The leader was a burly middle-aged man who saw people emerging from the water as soon as he arrived.

The one who cried out the most pitifully was their family's most favored young master, who was immediately enraged.

"Young Master, who did this? Who has the audacity to disrespect our Young Master?"

"Uncle Kuang, stop shouting! There's a ghost! Help me up here!" Young Master Mu was almost exhausted.

The middle-aged man realized what was happening and immediately waved his hand, signaling someone to go down and rescue him.

Just as the young master who had survived on the opposite boat was about to shout, "Wait, something's wrong underwater!"

He was just too late.

Dozens of people jumped off the three boats and paddled toward the person who had fallen into the water.

This time, they managed to swim to the other people who had fallen into the water and pulled them away.

The young master was somewhat taken aback to see that they moved so freely.

However, the same scene soon repeated itself.

As those people tried to swim away, they suddenly found themselves unable to move.

"What the hell?"

"My foot is tangled!"

"Damn, why is there so much seaweed in the water?"

"If anyone has a knife, I can lend it to you; these water plants can't be torn apart."

The water surface suddenly became lively again.

On the small boat, Zhou Hanshan stroked his stubble and looked curiously into the water.

He even took the boatman's long pole and went down to stir it.

It was just water, nothing but water; I didn't see any aquatic plants.

"What's going on? What are they all doing?"

Qiu Ling frowned as she looked on, equally confused.

No one connected this scene with Yun Zhiyi.

After all, no matter how skilled you are, you can't control aquatic plants without making a sound, or lay an ambush in the lake beforehand.

Zhou Hanshan suddenly said, "Hey, could there be something strange at the bottom of the lake, like some kind of mechanism or formation?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shaolian immediately became interested. "Is it the legendary treasure?"

Qiu Ling lightly tapped her jade fan. To be honest, this situation did seem quite plausible.

At this moment, the people on the Mu family boat also realized something was wrong. They immediately moved the boat closer, threw down ropes, and sent others down with knives to help.

No matter how many people go down or how many are trapped, the knife is useless.

There is no waterweed in the world that cannot be cut down with a knife, unless it is not a real waterweed.

Clearly, the fourth leader of the Mu family also suspected that there might be something strange at the bottom of the lake, and he was quite excited.

He immediately turned his head, not bothering to ask about the cause and effect, and immediately wanted to clear the area.

If there really is some kind of secret mechanism or treasure, it can only belong to the Mu family gang.

Yun Zhiyi hadn't expected them to be so imaginative.

Originally, she was just dissatisfied with being used by the manipulators and tried to muddy the waters to see if she could find more clues.

But things took an unexpected turn.

For a moment, she wasn't sure if this development was a coincidence or another arrangement by someone pushing her.

So I decided to withdraw and observe the situation first.

"Something seems off here. Let's leave."

Hearing her say this, Uncle Yang and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

Just then, the Mu family gang put down their small boat and began chasing people away.

Their boat then followed suit and returned home.

Zhou Hanshan, who was following behind, asked in confusion, "Why do we have to leave too? There might really be something at the bottom of the lake. Are we really going to give it to the Mu family gang and Luoshui Palace?"

Qiu Ling shook her head. "Let's wait and see. There are more and more strange things happening in the martial arts world lately, and it's not peaceful. Don't act rashly. Anyway, this news can't be blocked, and it should attract more people soon."
