The sounds outside the door stopped abruptly, and Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh. He really wanted to see what Xie Yuhua's expression was like at this moment. After learning that his stepfather was not dead but had left him a mess, and instead went to protect his childhood friend whom he cared about the most, Ling Xiao thought that Xie Yuhua's expression must be very interesting.

Even if you don't believe it, you'll still have doubts in your heart. All he needs to do is plant a seed. Will they turn against each other? We'll have to wait and see.

He wasn't trying to sow discord, you know. Those words weren't spoken by him, but by the bat. As for the bat? Oh dear, I'm really sorry, it's already dead. If you want to find it, go to the Floating Pagoda Underground Palace. But even if you find it, you'll only find its corpse.

Oh, I almost forgot, he set a fire there last time. There might not even be a body left now. The only answer is to find Wu Sansheng or Xie Lianhuan.

A bolt of lightning struck the house where Ling Xiao was, igniting something and setting it on fire.

The fire spread rapidly and strangely; despite the heavy rain, it couldn't be extinguished.

Even so, the lightning didn't stop; instead, it struck the same spot repeatedly, as if its goal was to penetrate that place.

"Ling Xiao! Come out quickly!" Xie Yuhua pounded on the door and pulled on the handle, trying to get Ling Xiao to come out.

But the people inside didn't seem to be making any noise. He couldn't kick the door down because he saw that the place where the lightning struck was the location of a load-bearing wall. If he rashly kicked the door open, the low house would collapse!

With a 'click,' the door finally opened, and Ling Xiao walked out wearing a bath towel.

Jieyuhua stared blankly at Lingxiao. He could see clearly that there was a long burn mark on the child's right arm.

Ling Xiao followed Xie Yuhua's gaze and looked at his arm. He even raised his arm and waved it in front of Xie Yuhua, saying, "Did I scare you?"

Xie Yuhua grabbed Ling Xiao and tried to hug him, but a small bolt of lightning struck between them.

"No way? The house can still catch fire in such heavy rain? That's really weird!" Wu Xie and the others rushed over when they saw the fire.

This time, Xie Yuhua ignored Wu Xie's voice and reached out to Ling Xiao again. As before, lightning struck down from the sky and hit the middle of them.

"Stop trying," Ling Xiao stopped him.

"Lingzi, have you violated the Heavenly Laws?" Wu Xie also reached out to Ling Xiao, but before he could reach him, he was stopped by an even larger bolt of lightning.

"I said things I shouldn't have said and got a warning," Ling Xiao said frankly.

The young man seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became serious.

"Ouch!! My house! Don't just stand there! Put out the fire!" The village doctor rushed over when he heard that his yard was on fire, and saw this scene as soon as he arrived.

He hurriedly grabbed a bucket and poured water on the roof, knowing full well that the fire couldn't be extinguished even by rain, yet he still wanted to put it out.

"Stop messing around, it's useless, it'll go out on its own in a bit." Ling Xiao's tone suddenly became a little impatient as he watched the village doctor carrying things back and forth.

"Are you going to help or not? If you're not going to help, then get out of here! It's not your house that's burning down, so of course you're just watching the show!" The village doctor was so angry that he was trembling, and he even tripped and fell while moving the fire.

"Overestimating yourself." Ling Xiao scoffed at him inwardly.
