Li Xian furrowed his brows, immediately sensing hostility from the visitor. He ascended to the mansion's attic, using his Heavy Pupils to observe the mysterious woman outside the side door.
The woman was draped in a black robe, her face obscured and unseen. But through the Heavy Pupils, he could see beneath her clothes—a face burnt and startling in appearance.
"A woman with burn scars… could she be Zeng Xiaoke, He Qing Snake's disciple? Has she recovered and come here seeking vengeance?"
Li Xian never forgot his grudges, always on guard. Zeng Xiaoke's martial and poison skills were average, typically not a threat to Li Xian, but he feared He Qing Snake making a move. He had joined the Candle Sect precisely to guard against this. Now, seeing Zeng Xiaoke reappear, he thought it was time to settle the score.
However, he didn't know Zeng Xiaoke was already dead. Beneath the façade was another person—named Zhao Lei, one of He Qing Snake's formidable disciples.
