There were a few toys in the room . Ye Qingtang took a glance at the toys and pinched the child’s decayed hand . There was something that sparkled across her eyes, and she then turned to leave the place .

When Ye Qingtang just walked out of the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village, she suddenly noticed Wu Zheng standing outside the gate . She had no idea when he came, but he was holding a torch . His handsome face was visible due to the flame .
“Young Sir?” Ye Qingtang raised her brows slightly and stared at Wu Zheng in surprise .
Wu Zheng stepped forward and handed over a napkin to her . His eyesight also landed on Ye Qingtang’s hand that was stained by blood .
“Lady Ye, the blood plague is spreading . You should wipe your hands . ”
Ye Qingtang took over the napkin and cleaned her hands .

“Are you not afraid of the blood plague? Why did you still come near to the place?” Ye Qingtang smiled and asked .
Wu Zheng shook his head . He looked towards the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village under the moonlight . “I would be eaten by the wild beasts in the mountain if father did not save me . No matter how he is now, he is still my father . I was adopted and raised in the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village . How can I erase the gratitude?”
Ye Qingtang smiled . She felt curious when she saw his expressionless face .
She did suspect Wu Zheng, as he would benefit from the tragedy the most .
However… she could not see any greed or ambition in the young man’s eyes .

Either Wu Zheng was really innocent or he hid his intentions very well .
“You really value the gratitude, I see . Are you free tonight?” Ye Qingtang asked .
“Do you have any orders?” Wu Zheng replied .
Ye Qingtang smiled . “Nothing important . Even though I suspected that there was Duanyuan Grass on the cliff at the back of the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village, I have not seen that with my own eyes, so I can’t confirm that . If you are free, follow me to take a look . ”
“Sure . ” Wu Zheng did not hesitate at all .

“I shall lead the way . ” Wu Zheng walked to the front .
Wu Zheng did not put up any guard . Ye Qingtang smiled and followed up .
Under the moonlight, the two shadows walked towards the cliff at the back of the Spirit Condensation Mountain Village .
The sky was completely dark . The moonlight shone on the insignificant flowers at the side of the cliff . The green grass was swinging in the wind, and the wind howled under the cliff .
Ye Qingtang stood at the side of the cliff and scanned through the views at the bottom of the cliff . She was soon attracted by a huge stone . On top of the huge stone, there was a small broken stone tablet .
The stone tablet seemed to be there for quite a long time and was exposed to rain and wind . The words on the tablet were rubbed off .
Wu Zheng was only a few steps behind Ye Qingtang . She was standing at the edge of the cliff . A light push would make her fall into the cliff .
Wu Zheng squinted his eyes, and his face was seen under the moonlight and the flame . The innocent and pure face was now replaced by an expression of malice . He lifted his feet slowly and stepped on the soft grass, walking towards Ye Qingtang step by step .
His footstep was so light that it could be covered by the sound of the wind, but that little sound was still captured by Ye Qingtang .
There was a shade of light sparkling through her eyes . She pretended to not notice anything and continued looking at the bottom of the cliff .
