Chapter 51: Set Apart for Ten Years, By The Living And The Dead! (41)

It was only at that moment that Li Yan realized that Zhang Xiao liked her.

At that time, she silently bit her lip, trying to stop her tears from falling. Actually… she also liked Zhang Xiao.

It was not the same as how she felt towards Feng Yuan. She always had admired Zhang Xiao but never dared to approach him. She was afraid he would reject her and fearful that it was always her own wishful thinking.

After all, in Li Yan’s eyes, Zhang Xiao was the most outstanding man in this world.

Until later… when Feng Yuan appeared and caused Li Yan to grow even more distant from Zhang Xiao.

She knew that she would never have a chance in her life to be together with Zhang Xiao. Neither would she ever be able to face him.

Even though all these years, Zhang Xiao would come to pay respects at her grave once in a while, Li Yan endured silently, not daring to meet him.

Since life and death already separated them, holding each other in memory was better than seeing each other.

Perhaps because her spirit had been alone for too long, Li Yan could not help but pour out all the grievances of her heart.

After listening to all she had to say, it stunned Zhang Yunshu.

As for Ning Huanxin, her gaze could not stop flickering.

If the Patriarch of Zhang Clan Village had invited a diabolical sorcerer who wanted to turn innocent people into agonized and malicious spirits, there had to be a prologue to this. How did he know what had happened in Li Clan Village?

According to what Li Yan had said, that person was related to the Feng family and very likely knew Feng Yuan.

In that case, Ning Huanxin could not help but make a bold assumption.

That year when Li Yan sought Zhang Xiao’s help to look for Feng Yuan, Zhang Xiao might have told Feng Yuan everything that was happening in the village. However, Feng Yuan had no feelings for Li Yan, so naturally, he did not follow Zhang Xiao back to Li Clan Village. After that, he may have, intentionally or unintentionally, told what he knew to the diabolical sorcerer.

That mysterious, diabolical sorcerer must have secretly followed Zhang Xiao back to the village. He could even have known about Zhang Xiao concocting the drug to rescue Li Yan.

Hence, the strange disease that infiltrated Li Clan Village was neither because of a mistake in Zhang Xiao’s drug prescription nor a punishment from the River God!

It was all the doing of that diabolical sorcerer!

He had used the blind faith villagers had in the River God and infected the village with the strange illness. Later, when everyone in Zhang Clan Village was on tenterhooks and in fear, he suddenly appeared and was invited by the Patriarch to help resolve the villagers’ troubles.

Everything else after that fell into place.

He had made use of the fear in the villagers of Zhang Clan Village and made them into murderers while he sat back to reap the benefits for himself. He was able to gain agony and misery of dozens of spirits who died in resentment, without even needing to bear any karmic responsibility.

What a ruthless move!

After having figured this out, Ning Huanxin’s eyes were cold.

This person treated human lives like ants and deceived all the villagers!

“Li Yan, Auntie Zhang. I’m afraid everything was the diabolical sorcerer’s doing. Do you still remember his name?”

Ning Huanxin suddenly asked with a cold tone.

Li Yan and Zhang Yunshu both looked at Ning Huanxin.

“That sorcerer…”

Zhang Yunshu took some time to recall, and then her eyes suddenly lit up. “I remember the Patriarch called him Mage Yi! Yes, it was Mage Yi!”

Mage Yi?

Ning Huanxin was not familiar with the occult. She did not know how many different schools of occult there were or how many Mage Yi’s there may be.

But she would remember this person in her memory. Who knows if she would have the chance to meet him in the future?

The most important thing now was…

“Is he still alive?”

Ning Huanxin could not help lowering her head and ask anxiously, as she glanced at the member of the production crew Li Yan had dragged to the grave.

“Ha.”

Upon hearing what Ning Huanxin said, Li Yan sneered, “Do you think he would survive after bleeding so much?”
