The sky gradually darkened, and the heavy rain continued without stopping. Su Qingluo took out Night Pearls from her Storage Ring, and she and Wang Meng each held one to light their way.

The wooden raft moved along the water flow, and the two of them went from east to west, searching village by village for survivors.

In the distance, a faint light appeared, flashing and gradually approaching in the storm.

Through the hazy scene, Su Qingluo and Wang Meng gradually discerned five small boats.

On each boat, there were two Imperial Guards, one at the front and one at the rear, rowing quickly.

Standing on the first boat was a person with handsome brows and an imposing presence.

“Master Xu!”

Upon recognizing the person’s face, tears blurred Su Qingluo’s eyes as she couldn’t help but wave her arm and cheer loudly.

Xu Ruyun recognized the two children on the raft, his eyes turned red involuntarily, he jumped onto the raft, and held each child in his arms with one arm to the left and one to the right.

“Little Qingluo, Brother Meng, you’ve already done very well. Let’s go back now; your parents are waiting for you.”

“No, we can’t go back.”

Wiping away tears, Su Qingluo shook her head firmly: “There are still people stranded on rooftops, waiting for rescue.”

Wang Meng also had a determined look: “If we go back now, we won’t feel at ease.”

Master Xu did not agree: “You haven’t eaten anything all day. If you keep going like this, you’ll wear yourselves out.”

Su Qingluo smiled calmly: “It’s okay, not eating for one day won’t kill me.”

“I’m a little hungry.”

Wang Meng rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, and his stomach even conveniently growled just then.

“Both of you go back and listen to the Master’s words.”

Xu Yanru pretended to be angry and said with a stern face: “Do you not trust Master Xu, thinking that the Imperial Guards are just for show and not capable of taking on this responsibility?”

“No, no, that’s not what we meant.”

After a while, the two children became a little confused, their little heads shaking like drums.

“If that’s the case, then listen and go back. Don’t make your parents and loved ones worry.”

Xu Yanru’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile.

“Alright, we’ll listen to Master Xu.”

Su Qingluo and Wang Meng looked at each other, both seeing helplessness in each other’s eyes.

They wanted to save people, but Master Xu would not allow it!

Of course, they both knew in their hearts that Master Xu was genuinely concerned for their welfare, worrying that they would wear themselves out and was deliberately sending them away.

“Tomorrow morning, we’ll come back down the mountain to help Master Xu resettle the affected villagers.”

“Alright, Master will be waiting for you.”

Xu Yanru smiled with satisfaction and watched the two children drift away on their raft.

Su Qingluo and Wang Meng rowed the raft back in the direction they remembered.

They had already traveled far from the riverbank, and all they could see was the vast flood. Only a few houses were not completely submerged in mud, their red roofs sticking out.

In the dark night, it was not easy to find the right direction, so Su Qingluo had no choice but to communicate with Little Kingfisher via her thoughts, asking it to guide them back to the riverbank.

“Chirp!”

Little Kingfisher arrived quickly in just the time it took to brew a cup of tea, fluttering its small wings, and landing on Su Qingluo’s shoulder.

“Yin’er, how’s the situation on the riverbank? How many people have been saved? Who is holding on there now?”

With the help of Little Kingfisher, Su Qingluo could now row faster using her Spiritual Power, making her way at a fast speed in the wind and rain.

“With me around, saving people is a piece of cake.”

Little Kingfisher showed no modesty: “I can’t remember exactly how many people I saved, but there were at least seventy to eighty people, if not a hundred. Those who could walk had left, and some children who could only cry were taken back to the cave. Now, two sons from the Village Chief’s family are at the riverbank, helping Su Hu save people.”
