The night breeze gently stroked, and the tall reeds rustled.
Moonlight like silver poured onto the quiet lake, causing the tips of the reed leaves to emit a faint blue glow.
The tranquility was quietly broken.
Underwater, specks of faint light glowed, growing clearer within a dozen breaths as palm-sized fish swam upwards from the lakebed, their ghostly blue tails breaking the water surface, forming ripples of dark blue that wove into a flowing star map.
"Interesting... Follow the fish."
Su Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, his ears moved slightly. With heightened senses, he could hear an extremely subtle rhythm, difficult for an ordinary person to catch, which was precisely the rhythm guiding the fish to surface from the depths of the lake and swimming in a certain direction.
The school of fish led the way, parting the layers of reeds.
As they reached the depths, even the reeds one-zhang tall couldn't hide the massive form.
