In order to find the antidote, Zhang Xiao even drugged himself. But his symptoms differed from the symptoms of the people in the Li Clan Village.

The condition of the Li Clan Village villagers was bizarre, and their symptoms were highly contagious.

However, Zhang Xiao only suffered from dizziness and weakness, where his limbs were too jelly-like to even get off the bed.

Zhang Xiao was sure there was nothing wrong with the drug he concocted. It was neither contagious nor the cause of other strange symptoms.

So… What happened to the people of the Li Clan Village?

By this time, Zhang Xiao’s parents had also noticed their son’s abnormal behavior. Recalling the good relationship between Zhang Xiao and Li Yan in the past, it worried them that their son would anger the River God. Therefore, they went to the patriarch and spent a copious amount of money to find some solution.

The patriarch called a powerful mage to visit the village.

The Mage first checked up on Zhang Xiao and confirmed he was fine.

As for the villagers of the Li Clan Village, the Mage only looked from afar before he shook his head with an indifferent expression. In his words, their time was already up.

“I never believed in River God’s presence, but I have no evidence to prove that, and I couldn’t find the truth since I was sick and stuck in bed for a few days. Even when Xiao Yan encountered trouble, I could not save her because I could not climb out of my bed. I had tried so hard to get up… I couldn’t save her, nor the innocent people of the Li Clan Village.”

Zhang Xiao had always thought of himself as a sinner. Years ago, if he had not brought Feng Yuan back. If he had not acted on his own accord to concoct a drug to save Li Yan, perhaps none of that would have happened.

“I’m responsible for the destruction of Li Clan Village and everyone’s deaths. That’s why after graduating, I gave up on a bright future and returned here. Often, I secretly pay my respects to the Li Clan Village’s dead souls at a time and place where no one could see me. I will stay here for the rest of my life to guard Xiao Yan and her child.”

Speaking of Li Yan, there was a rare expression of gentleness on Zhang Xiao’s face. He continued, “I will accompany them so they won’t be scared or lonely. It’s just that… after so many years, I still desire to dream of her when I’m drunk. I want to see her, but she has never appeared in my dreams.”

Li Yan did not meet Zhang Xiao in his dream. In fact, she did not even want to meet him, which made Zhang Xiao feel that Li Yan must be angry with him for not trying his best to save her.

“Perhaps… She did not want to disturb you.”

Ning Huanxin could not help but comfort Zhang Xiao.

When he heard Ning Huanxin’s words, a strong emotion flashed across Zhang Xiao’s eyes. He stared at her intensely and spoke, “But… You all have already disturbed her.”

Qin Su dug open Li Yan’s grave, allowing her bones to see the light again.

What did this omen mean?

“You all should leave Zhang Clan Town. I… suddenly have an ominous premonition about this.”

Zhang Xiao said in a low voice, but he couldn’t clearly understand his own feeling. Back then, when he had rushed back to town, he also had an ominous premonition, but he did not give it much thought back then.

Now, that ominous feeling had resurfaced.

Perhaps that was a human’s sixth sense.

Listening to Zhang Xiao’s words, Ning Huanxin’s expression became serious.

There was more to what happened back then!

The overnight destruction of Li Clan Village seemed fishy.

If… if Ning Huanxin could meet Li Yan’s soul, perhaps she could know more information.

Unfortunately…

“Old Brother Zhang…”

Ning Huanxin regained her senses and wanted to ask about what happened back then. Who knew, Zhang Xiao was so drunk that he suddenly laid on the table and fell fast asleep.
