Chapter 23: Chasing the Dragon (Part 2)

Ever since the times of the Dahua Heavenly Dynasty, the management of Xuanwu Lake had been highly valued, and after many years of effort, an extremely well-structured flood control system had been established. After becoming the capital of the Republic of Da Hua, even more emphasis was placed on the management of Xuanwu Lake.

Hence, Xuanwu Lake was essentially free from the possibility of flooding – or at least not a major disaster as depicted in the news where houses on the shore of the lake were submerged within a ten-mile radius.

Nevertheless, that flood did happen, and according to the reports, apart from the ground shaking a few minutes before the flood, the residents living near Xuanwu Lake didn't notice any other unusual signs.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the flood in Xuanwu Lake may have been a one-time event, but through Shu Guan's eyes, even after reading about this incident that happened more than a month ago in the newspaper, he could still sense a strange aura.
