Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji looked downward, only to see that the disciple who drove his sword underwater, Su She, was already knee-deep inside the water, the board of his boat already engulfed in Biling Lake. Although his face was full of panic, he didn't call for help, possibly frightened rigid.

Without hesitation, Wei WuXian let go of Lan Wangji, bent down and stretched his arm out, grabbing Su She's wrist and pulling him up.

"Wei Ying!" Lan Wangji yelled from panic. But he was too late.

Wei Wuxian had already pulled Su She up. Lan Wangji exhaled a sigh of relief but he would never forget this moment. It was just as if oxygen was knocked out of him. He was glad that Wei Wuxian was fine.

Having added another person, the sword under Wei Wuxian's feet dipped abruptly, but it continued to ascend. However, not long after, a strong force suddenly came from from Su She, almost pulling Wei WuXian off of his sword.

The lower part of Su She's body was already submerged inside the black whirlpool in the lake. The whirlpool spun faster and faster, and his body also sunk deeper and deeper. There seemed to be something hiding underwater, holding onto his legs and pulling them down.

The sucking force of the lake became stronger and stronger. Wei WuXian's sword was superior in terms of agility, but inferior in terms of strength. He was almost weighed down to the point of hovering right above the surface of the lake. He steadied himself while using both hands to haul Su She, and shouted, "Can somebody come here to help?! If I still can't pull him up, I'm gonna let go!"

Suddenly, Wei WuXian felt his collar tighten, and he was lifted into the air. He turned around to see Lan WangJi holding the back of his collar with one hand. Although Lan WangJi merely looked into another direction with an indifferent look, he and his sword carried the weight of three people, and fought with the mysterious force of the lake at the same time. Moreover, their position was still rising at a steady pace.

At this point, Wei WuXian spoke, "Lan Zhan, as expected from Second Master Lan. Thank you, thank you. But why do you pull my collar? Can't you hold on to me? I don't feel comfortable if you do this. Why don't I stretch my hand to you and you can grab it?"

Lan WangJi replied with a cold voice, "I do not have physical contact with others."

Wei WuXian, "How could you call me other's!" Although Wei Wuxian exaggerated, he really felt hurt. "I am your husband!" He emphasized.

Lan Wangji kept silent.

Lan Xichen glanced at their direction and so did the other disciples. Although they were scared to soeaj, Lan Xichen noted that he must have a proper conversation with his brother once they got back.

Wei WuXian pretended to be hurt just to show others that he was teasing Lan Wangji but he knew too well that he was really hurt. "You can't do this to me..."

The group travelled on their swords and evacuated Biling Lake as fast as they could. When they landed, Lan WangJi let go of Wei WuXian's back collar and calmly turned to Lan XiChen, "It is a waterborne abyss."

Lan XiChen shook his head, "Then, this is going to be difficult."

As he heard the name "waterborne abyss", Wei WuXian understood immediately. The scariest part about Biling Lake wasn't water ghouls, but the water which flowed in it.

The people of the Caiyi Town area were all familiar with water, so sunken boats and drowning deaths rarely happened. It was impossible for a waterborne abyss to grow out of here. Now that one had appeared here, there was only one possibility—that it had been chased here from somewhere else.
