Su Yubing closed her eyes.
"That works for me."
They stayed like that for a moment.
Then the city above them erupted into cheers.
The pressure had disappeared.
The black crack in the sky had vanished.
The sea was moving normally again.
The people of Bluewave City did not know what had happened beneath their feet.
They only knew that they had survived.
For the moment.
The city lord slowly sank onto a stone chair.
"My family spent eight hundred years protecting a lie."
Mo Yuxin looked at him.
"Not completely."
"What do you mean?"
"You still protected the city."
The old man's eyes became wet.
He looked toward the ceiling.
"Perhaps that is enough."
Su Yubing walked over.
"What will you do now?"
The city lord smiled tiredly.
"Tell the truth."
"Good."
"And if the Sacred Tide Sect comes again?"
Mo Yuxin answered casually.
"Call us."
The old man stared.
"You will return?"
Mo Yuxin nodded.
"We are still staying in the city tonight."
The city lord blinked.
