"What's going on here? Did something happen to Wuying?"
Tianshi's concerned voice cut through the air as she gracefully descended, landing softly beside her sister. She'd noticed the commotion from above and immediately rushed down from the sky.
Just moments before, Tianshi had finally experienced a breakthrough in her Air Qi art. Days of relentless effort, driven by her determination to achieve mastery before Xuefeng returned, had paid off. Her Air Qi flowed steadily, allowing her to dance effortlessly among the clouds. But the joy of her success was quickly overshadowed by the unsettling scene before her.
Xiao Wen briefly explained the situation, the disappearance of the stone entrance beneath the pool, Xuefeng's unexpected delay, and their decision to stop waiting and move forward.
"I'm not leaving," Tianshi declared immediately, her eyes blazing with unwavering determination. "I'll stay here until Xuefeng returns. I won't leave now, especially after finding him again."
