Autumn, 4th year of Tianfu. A traveler claimed he lost his way in the Witherwilds, when suddenly a white deer appeared ahead, glancing back at him, as if beckoning him to follow. So he followed it, and somehow, he found himself out of the forest. Just as he turned to offer thanks, the deer had already vanished.
Spring, 6th year of Tianfu. Villagers near Riversight Plain spotted a white deer sipping morning dew from a blooming peach tree. Bathed in sunrise over the river, it looked like a golden spirit. When someone approached, the deer leapt into the woods and disappeared without a trace.
Winter, 9th year of Baoda. Li Zuo saw a white deer resting before Qingyi's grave. How such a creature found its way into the depths of Gleaming Abyss, no one could say. Though startled by his approach, the deer did not flee. Li stepped forward and gently brushed its forehead, only then realizing that it had been over fifteen years since Liu Qingyi passed away.
