Looking back at the four people's shining eyes, Shangguan Suchen sighed silently and took the map over: "None of you four know the way, let me do it."

Chu Chaozhao was a person with poor sense of direction. In her previous life, the laboratory was so small that she didn’t want to go out because she couldn’t find the way.

Shangguan Suchen does a lot of business outside, but he is always followed by many people and does not need to find his way. Jiu Moyi was born a son of a noble family, so he does not need to find his way.

Zhuge Fusheng simply didn't know the way. He traveled to so many places when he was a child. It was not because he wanted to, but because he would take a different path every time and never found the original path.

Everyone outside the field was silent, watching the four people go from being full of confidence to feeling guilty, and then to obediently following Shangguan Suchen and staggering into the fifth hole. They were speechless.

"I take back what I said before: Shangguan Suchen is the most useless. Shangguan Suchen shouldn't have come. This family will fall apart without him!"

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, four weirdos!"

"Have you noticed that they look like little ducks?"

"What do you mean by this?"

"Shangguan Suchen is the mother duck, and Sifei is the little duck that waddles behind her across the river! Hahaha! Aren't they alike?"

There were laughters of varying sizes coming from all around.

“Pfft—hahahahahahahahaha, stop talking, there’s a picture! Hahaha!”

Without spiritual power to protect them, they followed Shangguan Suchen through one tortuous secret passage after another in the past two days. The surroundings were freezing cold, but even so, at least their bodies were dry and they were still able to survive.

Unfortunately, there was constant fighting in the cities above and behind them. The snow melted, but heavy rain suddenly began to fall, as if the sky had cracked and the river water was pouring back.

Lianyue City hasn't seen such heavy rain for decades. It seemed like God was playing a big joke on them.

The water level in the moat rose, but it did not submerge the entire city because all the excess water was drained away through countless underground canals.

The heavy rain hit the moat with a crackling sound, splashing like fireworks in the daytime.

The sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella became louder and louder. Xiao Hefeng held the umbrella, wearing a fox fur coat, and stared at the river with a serious expression.

Ye Heming ran down from the city wall, shouting, "They've retreated! The enemy has retreated! Maybe it's because the rain is too heavy and they can't stand it anymore! Ah He, what are you looking at!"

Xiao Hefeng said solemnly: "The rain is too heavy, I don't know how those children can bear it."

Ye Heming also figured out the pros and cons, and slapped himself on the head without holding back, making his head buzz.

He also frowned in worry: "Look at my brain! Those children are obviously from wealthy families, and they have been pampered since childhood. They have suffered a lot for Lianyue City. It's raining so hard, what should I do!"

The generals beside him were also looking at the moat with eager eyes.

It was pitch black and the light from the tinder was faint, flickering in the darkness, as if it would go out at any moment.

The five people crouched and walked with difficulty in the culvert, and every step they took caused ripples.

They were walking in the dry canal with their bodies bent low, but in a moment the water, flowing from nowhere, quickly rose up to the height of their thighs.

The wet hems of their clothes pulled at their entire bodies, and in the cold, everyone felt as if their legs were filled with lead.

The water in deep winter is the coldest, and the culvert is already damp. At this moment, the five people were shivering, their lips were dark purple, their fair faces were chapped and red, but they still did not dare to stop at all. One reason was that the river water was still rising, and the other was that they could not stop, as Lianyue City was still waiting for them and they could not waste a moment.

The three boys protected the two girls in the middle and used their tall bodies to block the cold wind coming from the front and back.

Without spiritual power to protect the body, the wind was very light, but it stung the face, scalp, and the whole body, causing pain.

Jiu Moyi's upper and lower teeth were chattering: "What a sin this is! This is worse than the sects I joined and were destroyed in the past few years. This young master has never suffered such a great sin since he was born."

Although it was a complaint, his original intention was to liven up the atmosphere and just to chat a little, so his friends naturally understood.

Chu Chaozhao shuddered, and smiled through his frozen lips: "Come to think of it, I've only heard others talk about your deeds at the Kexian Sect, but I haven't heard you mention it yourself."

"I didn't know that you were the 'Young Master Mo Sheng' mentioned in the rumors. How come no one has discovered that you have such abilities?" Shangguan Sulan also joked, her voice shaking a little. But after all, she has the fire spirit root, so she is a little better than others. "Shouldn't you make use of your abilities? If you find a sect that you don't like, you can just arrange for them to join you. Wouldn't that be a piece of cake?"

Shangguan Suchen smiled but said nothing. Zhuge Fusheng calmly led the way and listened attentively with his ears perked up.

“Think-of-the-young!” Jiu Moyi hugged himself tightly, got into position, and began, “You… uh uh uh, eh—you guys don’t know that I didn’t believe it at first, but…”

He exaggerated the story of how he joined a sect and how the sect was destroyed, causing the four people to shiver even more violently in the cold wind. All they could do was laugh.

It also made the audience outside laugh.

They were already cold and swaying, and now they had even less energy to laugh. The five of them held onto the low wall, holding their stomachs and laughing.

In the cramped and depressing space, loud and clear laughter suddenly rang out, one after another.

Tushan Rongqing laughed so hard that she was crooked even under the quilt.

——A Zhao, do you think this means that the Tianque Academy will also be destroyed?

——Hahaha, A-Mo definitely has special blood power. I’ll let daddy test it some other day. Hahaha!

Tushan Rongqing deeply agreed with this.

——Maybe it’s some god who is hostile to the Immortal Sect, hahaha.

There was a burst of laughter, and everyone seemed to feel much warmer.

But the laughing sound stopped, and the coldness came again. Everyone leaned against the wall, and a gloomy atmosphere suddenly came over the cramped space.

Jiu Moyi's tall body was bent, looking pitiful.

He squatted down without a care in the world, letting most of his body be submerged in the water. He lowered his head to hide the redness at the corners of his eyes. That redness was like the finishing touch of a famous artist, making him look like a noble and elegant young man in poverty. His nobleness remained the same, but he looked more broken and pitiful for no reason.

The voice echoed in the culvert, and the usually proud and high-pitched voice became hoarse: "I want to go home."

Chu Chaozhao turned his head slightly to look at him, and also looked at his friends who were a little depressed.

People always miss home when they are in trouble, because it is the most gentle and warmest place in the world.
