Although Ye Xunhuan said it felt like a dream, where he almost killed Qiu Ruoxi in the dream, he knew very well in his heart that it wasn't a dream but reality!
When Ye Xunhuan has an episode, he falls into a state of madness, becoming indifferent to everyone, but he still retains so mories.
Even if the illness recurs, and Ye Xunhuan turns into a cold killing machine, so faint and unclear mories still remain in his mind, though they truly exist.
Qiu Ruoxi squeezed out a smile from her pale face: "You said it was all a dream, and things in dreams aren't real..."
Even though it wasn't a dream, Qiu Ruoxi didn't want to burden Ye Xunhuan with it, nor did she want him to feel any pressure because of it.
Ye Xunhuan understood Qiu Ruoxi's intention, and his face was filled with guilt: "I'm sorry, my dear, I..."
"It's nothing, just a dream, and I'm fine now, aren't I?" Qiu Ruoxi said lightly, "Besides, aren't we a couple?"
With Qiu Ruoxi's words, Ye Xunhuan didn't say anything further. After all, since she had already ntioned them being a couple, if he said anything more, it would seem a bit distant.
Then Ye Xunhuan slowly exhaled and asked, "How long have I slept?"
"Three days!"
"That long?" Ye Xunhuan shook his head lightly.
He knew that with this episode, he was bound to cause an incident, but luckily he was subdued, or else the entire Southeastern City would have suffered an unnecessary disaster!
But he hadn't expected to be unconscious for three days.
This damn illness, how can it be cured!
Ye Xunhuan was well aware of how terrifying his illness was and the kind of power he would unleash during an episode.
His strength would almost double, like a robot, utterly indifferent to pain and fatigue, focused solely on killing.
And the more he was stimulated by blood, the more terrifying he beca.
Ye Xunhuan organized his thoughts and asked again: "Did anything happen during these three days?"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's question, Qiu Ruoxi looked at Mu Shuyi in bewildernt.
She knew nothing of what had transpired these three days, as she was wholly focused on Ye Xunhuan, paying no heed to other matters.
Mu Shuyi, feeling Qiu Ruoxi's gaze, wore a look of conflict and struggle, as if hesitating whether to tell Ye Xunhuan about the current circumstances.
Ye Xunhuan keenly observed the slight changes in Mu Shuyi's expression and imdiately beca clear-headed: "Where are Grandma and Grandpa?"
"They went to the front yard!"
Upon hearing Mu Shuyi's words, Ye Xunhuan got up from the bed, picked up the clothes beside him, and put them on.
Seeing this, Qiu Ruoxi couldn't help but quickly say, "Where are you going?"
"It's alright, I'm going to ask Grandpa sothing," Ye Xunhuan said tenderly to Qiu Ruoxi, "Don't worry!"
"I'll go with you!"
"You stay here and rest," Ye Xunhuan insisted. "Look at you, you seem so exhausted, it pains to see you like this."
"Have Grandma keep you company; I'll find Grandpa by myself. And in our ho, what trouble can happen to ?"
"But..."
"Rest assured, nothing will happen!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Qiu Ruoxi and then said to Mu Shuyi, "Grandma, stay with Ruoxi and rest; I'll go find Grandpa!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan strode outside.
Mu Shuyi said nothing to Ye Xunhuan, but being astute, he could tell sothing had indeed transpired during those three days, and perhaps there were people at the Xiahao residence now.
His vague mories told him he had killed many people.
Presumably, the Protectors of the Nation would hardly let it go easily for the sake of reputation!
Ye Xunhuan even suspected that the Protectors might already be at the Xiahao household!
After leaving the room, Ye Xunhuan headed directly to the front yard.
Walking through the corridor, Ye Xunhuan soon arrived at the front yard.
As soon as Ye Xunhuan reached the entrance of the front yard, he heard Qing Zhu Taoist speaking.
"Since Master Xiahao said the Marshal wasn't injured, why doesn't he co out and et us?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xunhuan imdiately knew that the hall was likely already in a tense standoff, so he snorted, took a step like an arrow, and appeared at the door: "Who do you think you are, that demands I et you when you co?"
Ye Xunhuan's arrogant voice suddenly echoed in the hall, instantly attracting everyone's gaze.
Xiahao Yunting's face imdiately lit up with a joyful expression upon seeing Ye Xunhuan appear.
Even Uncle Zhong and Ao Wuheng were the sa way.
Qing Zhu Taoist and Xiao Jiangnan had been pressing step by step, demanding to see Ye Xunhuan, but while he was unconscious, how could they allow it!
Now that Ye Xunhuan had awakened and appeared here, the situation would, if not reverse, at least improve significantly.
Qing Zhu Taoist's face imdiately showed a hint of anger upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, but the next mont, seeing Ye Xunhuan's face, he trembled all over, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
As if he had realized sothing.
Seeing this, Xiao Jiangnan also frowned slightly.
But soon, Xiao Jiangnan's furrowed brow relaxed, and he slowly said, "Marshal?"
"Yes!" Ye Xunhuan admitted candidly, "I wonder why you all are so eager to see , what for?"
"Marshal, Chou Zheng and others are all dead, dead in Qingbi Mountain!" Xiao Jiangnan got straight to the point, "Do you know about this?"
Upon hearing Xiao Jiangnan's words, Ye Xunhuan's heart throbbed violently; Chou Zheng and others were dead, aning the Protectors of the Nation were wiped out?
Did he actually kill them?
But it seed unlikely that he managed to kill all?
Despite the shock in his heart, Ye Xunhuan's face remained devoid of any expression, standing as calm as a rock!
"They're dead; what does it have to do with ? Do you think I killed them?" Ye Xunhuan snorted lightly, "You give too much credit."
"I admit, I did think about killing them, but I don't want to court trouble either."
"Marshal, with just your words, how can we believe you?"
"What, do you intend to take away for investigation?" Ye Xunhuan frowned heavily and said, "This is displeasing!"
"Marshal, the innocent aren't afraid; if you didn't do it, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm worried so might have ulterior motives!" Ye Xunhuan said coolly, "In this vast world, who doesn't know I possess the Taiji seal!"
"Who can guarantee you're not staging a play, under the guise of revenge, to obtain the Taiji seal?"
