An hour later, Su Zizhan came looking for Hua Yan and said to her, "We have now found that there are three people in Beian City who have contracted the White Pustule Plague."

From then until now, each of them separately visited Beian City's marketplace, tea houses, gambling dens, and other such places, wandering around."
Hua Yan's complexion also turned ugly at once, "Deliberately choosing places crowded with people, they indeed have ulterior motives."
"Exactly," Su Zizhan said, "It seems that the person behind this wants to bury us along with Beian City."
"Where are these three people now?" Hua Yan asked.
