Xia Hou Jing, who was sitting at the table, just opened one eyelid lazily, glanced at Hua Qingcheng, and responded nonchalantly: "There is no other reason, I just picked it up casually." After that, she closed her eyes again without saying another word.
The night gradually deepened, time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the hour of Hai.
At this moment, on a small island in Youzhou, Bai Yuheng, dressed in black and with a black scarf on his face, was carefully avoiding the heavy guards and sneaking into the room of Hua Rongsheng and his wife and husband again quietly.
"Mr. Bai, you are finally here..." Hua Rongsheng said softly in a low voice.
Bai Yuheng nodded and said seriously, "Aunt Hua, Uncle Ye, in a little while, at midnight, the guards outside will be changing shifts. That's when the defenses will be most relaxed. I'll take you out in a moment, and you must follow my steps closely."
"Don't worry, we will." Hua Rongsheng held Ye Maochun's hand, and they both nodded to Bai Yuheng.

"Aunt Hua, Uncle Ye, the time has come, let's set off." Bai Yuheng said softly.

Along the way, Bai Yuheng made full use of his knowledge of the deserted island's terrain and his agile body, nimbly moving between the trees and rocks, successfully avoiding the strict defenses one after another. The process was both thrilling and exciting, leaving one breathtakingly fascinated.
After many hardships and dangers, they finally reached the river. The river was surging, the water was shimmering, and the endless flow of water to the east brought people a sense of boundless desolation.
However, at this moment, the three of them had no time to care about the beautiful scenery before them. After Bai Yuheng dragged the bamboo raft that had been prepared long ago from the forest, they immediately jumped on it and prepared to start their escape.
