Stone seemed to be very vexed. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, but it was as if that memory had disappeared. He couldn’t remember it no matter what.

“1,1 don’t remember! 1 can’t remember! Why is this happening?!” Stone roared angrily.

His immobile limbs made him feel dejected and helpless.

He looked up at Kong Rui. “Why did I become like this? Can you save me…”

Kong Rui’s heart suddenly softened.

She looked at the old man for help, but he shook his head gently and remained silent.

Kong Rui looked at Stone again, her eyes filled with determination. “I’m sorry! I can’t help you!”

Stone seemed to have expected this answer long ago, and the hope in his eyes instantly disappeared.

He muttered dejectedly, “What happened to me? How could 1…”

Suddenly, Stone looked at Kong Rui again. “Where’s Xiao Xi? How is he now?”

“Xiao Xi?” Kong Rui didn’t know who Xiao Xi was, so she could only answer truthfully, “You were the only one sent here. Did Xiao Xi… also participate in this mission with you?”

After Stone thought about it, he shook his head. “1 don’t remember!”

“The boss found me alone that day. 1 don’t know who else was going with—”

“Who’s your boss? What’s his name? Perhaps he knows what happened to you.” Kong Rui suddenly thought of this key figure and asked anxiously.

Stone seemed to have found the crux of the problem and replied, “The boss’s name is Li Shan. He’s a distant relative of the Li family.”

“It’s said that he came to the Li family’s residence to be a servant because all his family members died.”

“The First Elder saw that he was honest and had some brute force, so he made him our leader.”

Kong Rui recalled carefully. There was indeed a guard called Li Shan in the Li family’s residence.

But if she remembered correctly, Li Shan seemed to have already…

Kong Rui confirmed with Stone again. “Is the Li Shan you’re talking about the one who’s tan and strong and stutters?”

“You know him?” Stone looked at Kong Rui in disbelief.

Kong Rui didn’t answer Stone. She just felt that this matter was a little creepy.

There was indeed a guard leader called Li Shan in the Li family’s residence, but when she was still Li Ling, she had once seen that ignorant fellow beaten to death by Li Han because he had offended her.

That time was clearly a little earlier than the time Stone had said.

Li Shan had revived again?

Or… had Li Shan already become a living dead like Stone?

Kong Rui immediately felt a chill down her spine.

What other secrets did the Li family have?

“Young Master, someone in the imperial capital seems to be secretly refining the Soul Return Pill!” A fair-skinned child in his teens walked to Chao Bai’s side and reported respectfully.

Chao Bai put down the booklet in his hand and turned to look at the child. “Where did the First Elder go?”

“The First Elder brought the Second Elder and a group of adults out of the valley early in the morning,” the child said obediently. “The First Elder came to report to you this morning.”

Chao Bai nodded and stood up. “Since they’re not here, let’s go!”

“Huh?” Before the child could react, Chao Bai grabbed his arm and the world spun.

“Urgh…” The child placed one hand on the wall of the cave as he vomited.

Chao Bai looked at the child in disdain and ignored him as he walked out of the cave.

The child exclaimed, “Young Master, where are you going? Don’t leave me behind!”

“Rest here. 1’11 look for you after I’m done!” Chao Bai said without stopping..
