While Lin Zheng was lost in thought, Baili An sheathed the Heavenly Strategy Jun Mountain Sword and restrained the seething Yin Baishuang, saying, "So, Young Master Ye Shu, when you volunteered to dive into the deep pool first, was your goal really not just to help the Young Marquis scout the path?"
The crowd had originally hesitated to enter the water because they were intimidated by the skeletal skulls in it.
It was Ye Shu who told everyone that there was no danger in the water and that it required everyone's cooperation to successfully reach the bottom of the pool.
With just a few words, he convinced everyone, including Lin Zheng, to enter the water.
Realizing this, Xun Guan instantly paled and cursed angrily, "He's a heartless wretch! I knew his volunteering to go into the water was no good! We should never have trusted him!"
His words were ostensibly scolding Ye Shu, but they also subtly reproached Lin Zheng for raising such a vicious ingrate.
