I guess the situation is bad, but I know the truth. Lord Five is sad.
The seventh day of the ninth month was Zhan Tianyi's death anniversary. It was also because of this that Qin Xuanmo and Dao Rou rushed back to the Zhan residence despite their busy schedule. Because today was a very important day.
Zhan Zhao felt rather sad when he mentioned this. He could only pay his respects to his father's death anniversary from afar all these years and could not come back to visit his father's grave with his mother. Therefore, this time, Zhan Zhao's heart was filled with ups and downs. He couldn't tell if he was happy or sad.
In the afternoon, Mother Zhan called Zhan Zhao to offer incense to her late father. She was supposed to call Qin Xuanmo too, but he was injured. Lan Luohe instructed him to stay at home and recuperate. It was best not to move around too much. Thus, he stayed behind and let Dao Rou go on his behalf. Bai Yutang wanted to go as well, but he was stopped by Lan Luohe's gaze.
Ding Yuehua was dragged away by Mother Zhan at the same time. Only Lan Luohe, Bai Yutang, and the injured Qin Xuanmo were left.
Then, Qin Xuanmo found the two of them and told them everything that happened last night.
……
"What did you say? Kitten, he…"
Bai Jadehall's reaction was more intense than the two had expected. Although he had felt that something was wrong last night, he had never expected that Zhan Zhao would be controlled by someone!
"Brother Bai, calm down first!" Qin Xuanmo pushed Bai Yutang back into his seat." Now, I'm not sure if the person I met was Zhan Zhao!”
" You mean…" Lan Luohe seemed to have thought of something and asked uncertainly.
" As far as I know, those who are controlled by the red flames shouldn't have their own consciousness," Qin Xuanmo said." Everyone I saw yesterday was the same, except for the man in red." But now, it seemed that Zhan Zhao wasn't controlled by anyone. At first, I thought that Li Jufeng had asked him to pretend, but when I saw his eyes, I dispelled this idea.”
"Why?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Because his eyes are very clear!"
Qin Xuanmo recalled Zhan Zhao's clear eyes and said,""A person's appearance can be faked, but his eyes can't deceive people. Zhan Zhao's eyes are especially unique. I think both of you should know this better than me.”
Bai Yutang didn't say anything, but he quietly clenched the teacup in his hand.
"That's why I'm not sure if the person I saw yesterday was Zhan Zhao.”Qin Xuanmo said. He then looked at Lan Luohe, who was hesitant to speak." Doctor Lan, what do you think?”
Lan Luohe shook his head and said with a heavy expression,""Every time I see that child Zhan Zhao these few days, I always have a bad feeling. Fifth brat, do you still remember what I asked Zhan Zhao when you brought him here that day?”
Immediately, Bai Yutang recalled the conversation between the two of them that day.
"Zhan Zhao, have you seen an orchid with purple leaves recently?”
An orchid with purple leaves? Zhan Zhao thought for a moment and shook his head.
"Really?" Lan Luohe confirmed it again worriedly.
"If I've seen such a unique flower before, I'll definitely remember it.”Zhan Zhao said.
……
At the thought of this, Bai Yutang was shocked and said,""An orchid with purple leaves?"
"This is it!" Lan Luohe said," That thing belongs to the same class as the Heavenly Tea Mandala you saw in Xiangyang. They are both plants with extremely strong hallucinogenic properties. They were also produced in the Western Regions, and I only saw them when I was traveling in the Western Regions!”
"What's the name of that purple orchid?" Qin Xuanmo asked nervously.
"That thing has never appeared in the Central Plains, so it doesn't have a fixed name.”Lan Luohe obviously disliked these two plants. When she mentioned them, she frowned." However, the people in the Western Region call it Delong Mancha, which means…"
" Living corpse!!" Qin Xuanmo continued with a dark expression.
With a loud bang, Bai Yutang crushed the teacup in his hand.
……
Zhan Zhao would become a living corpse? Bai Yutang didn't even want to think about this possibility. When he heard this word, he only felt a little scared. Even though she repeatedly told herself that it was impossible, that Zhan Zhao would never do that. However, what the two of them said next almost made him rush out on the spot.
"Actually, the effect of Delong Mancha isn't that great. Those who smell its fragrance will only feel weak. However, there's something that can obliterate a person's mind and turn them into a real 'living corpse'.”Lan Luohe said.
"What is it?" Bai Yutang asked nervously.
"I don't know." Lan Luohe looked at Qin Xuanmo, who shook his head.
For a moment, the three of them fell silent. After a long time, Lan Luohe said something that made Bai Yutang's heart skip a beat,"
"Actually, this isn't the scariest part. Drona tea mixed with another hallucinogenic drug will make the person who consumes it completely become a puppet controlled by the other party. Whether it's thoughts, life, or memories, it's all the same. However, these two plants were mutually exclusive. If the person who consumed them did not have strong vitality, they would bleed from their seven orifices and die. The success rate is only 50%. If Zhan Zhao takes it…"
At this moment, Bai Yutang's mind was in a complete mess. He remembered the red figure he saw last night, Zhan Zhao's sudden weakness a few days ago, and something he had mentioned to him that day.
"Last night, I met a group of strange people. Those people had wooden expressions, as if they had no feelings or thoughts. They were carrying a palanquin and walking on the street quietly. At that time, I smelled a strange fragrance. Then, the person in the sedan chair called out my name and left inexplicably. I tried to chase after him, but I couldn't catch up with him with my qinggong…"
" The palanquin... the fragrance..." He couldn't help but mutter to himself. The other two with sharp ears heard him immediately. Lan Luohe and Qin Xuanmo asked nervously,"
"What palanquin (fragrance)? Speak clearly!"
Bai Yutang's face was already ashen, but he still repeated what Zhan Zhao had said. Lan and Qin were stunned.
"It looks like Zhan Zhao must have encountered the Red Flame Young Patriarch's palanquin! " No wonder he would…" Qin Xuanmo muttered after a while.
"Delong Mane Tea, it must be Delong Mane Tea!”As Lan Luohe spoke, he looked at Bai Yutang with pity. Only he knew that if Zhan Zhao became a living corpse, it would be a huge blow to this child.
As expected, when Bai Yutang heard this, he revealed a sorrowful expression and silently closed his eyes.
" But," Qin Xuanmo recalled the bright eyes he had when he saw Zhan Zhao." Doctor Lan, Zhan Zhao doesn't look like someone who has lost his mind. How do you explain this?"”
Lan Luohe sighed and said,"That's what makes it worse!" As I said before, the Delong Mane tea is more harmful to people when paired with another medicine. I reckon that when Zhan Zhao's eyes are clear, he will still be his normal self. However, once someone uses the control technique, he will immediately become that person's puppet.
" Not only that, but what's worse is that he's not like a living corpse that doesn't have any intelligence. He's a terrifying demon that has intelligence but will only listen to the person controlling him! With Zhan Zhao's martial arts, once he becomes a cold-blooded and heartless person, I'm afraid…"
He didn't say anything, but Bai Yutang and Qin Xuanmo understood what he meant. Qin Xuanmo was fine, he was just worried for Mother Zhan. However, Bai Yutang couldn't sit still anymore and rushed out of the door without saying a word.
"White Jade Hall!" Lan Luohe was shocked. He tried to call out, but Bai Yutang seemed to not have noticed at all. At this moment, his mind was already in a mess. How could he care about anything else? In his mind, there was only one person left:
"Cat…Zhan Zhao…Zhan Zhao!!!”

Next chapter trailer:
After getting to know him, Li Xunhuan realized that they were not only similar, but also more compatible. Although the two of them didn't talk much, once one of them mentioned something, the other would immediately continue.
" This is my cousin, and also…" He did not continue, but Yang Xiao seemed to have read something from his bitter smile. He suddenly understood what was so similar between them.
And Buhui became the bond between them. She often smiled and said that this period of time was the happiest day of her life.
When he was still studying, he didn't have a good impression of this person. No matter who it was, it was still worthy of sympathy if they went berserk in order to cultivate. However, if they relied on the blood of others to survive, they were not worthy of sympathy, but hateful!
