Yuan and Xiana sat in the peaceful surroundings of the Lake Pavilion, engaged in a heartfelt conversation. Concerned for Yuan's well-being, Xiana expressed her worry about Licheng's reaction upon learning the truth about him.
"Yuan, are you feeling better now? Licheng was deeply disturbed and terrified when he discovered the truth," Xiana asserted, her voice filled with empathy.
"I had a nightmare last night, Sister Xiana," Yuan said. "Someone was calling me. I didn't tell about this to Brother Licheng yet. I do not understand why it happened," he muttered, a troubled expression appearing on his grimace.
"Did you recognize the voice?" Xiana concernedly asked.
Shaking his head, Yuan replied, "No, it wasn't Xu Long's voice. It felt more intimidating, and I can't fathom why this is happening to me. I believed the demonic essence had been completely eradicated from my core."
