Chapter 254

The weather was clear and the air was fresh. Jiang Xia and the others were going on a boat ride on the lake today. Upon reaching the lakeshore, the group rented a small two-story boat. After so many days of intense competition, everyone's nerves had been stretched taut, and now they could finally relax properly. In three days, Jiang Xia and Mù Chén would set off for the Central Region, while the rest would return to their respective sects. This period was a rare and precious time for relaxation. Boarding the small boat, the group went up to the second floor, which offered a wide-open view, perfect for sightseeing. The boatman had prepared snacks specially for the passengers, though guests were also allowed to bring their own food. Jiang Xia and Mù Chén sat at one table, while the remaining four sat at another. In addition to the boatman's snacks, the tables were laden with their own provisions: pastries and fruits. Since it was not yet time for a meal, they had simply prepared these few items.
