"Master!" He desperately tried calling for Xiaoling, unable to understand what was happening. He couldn't tell apart from illusion and reality, making him try all his chances, "Uncle Yang…?" He dropped to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. What he remembered was his past, wasn't it?
Fortunately, his call for help was heard as Xiaoling knocked at the door of his room before entering.
"I noticed evil spirits lurking around, are you okay?" She asked right away, turning on the lights to find him kneeling on the ground and sobbing his eyes out. "Ru?" She called him in concern before rushing toward him. "What's wrong?"
