Chu Family, extermination, little girl, settled in Songhai
Other than the father who shouldn't have been there, didn't those clues add up to the Chu Family extermination case? The little girl speaking in the dream was Stop-Killing Palace Lord?!
Zhang Yuanqing sat bolt upright, plunging into confusion again. But he wasn't like an old ox stuck in a swamp, unable to move; his thoughts were racing like a particle collider, crashing violently against one another.
It was a little strange that he had dreamed of Stop-Killing Palace Lord, but not incomprehensible. After all, they were good friends and old acquaintances.
The Palace Lord was also a soft-voiced, delicate beauty who often made suggestive jokes with him. As a normal man, it was perfectly natural for him to dream about her now and then.
But why had his father appeared?
Stop-Killing Palace Lord and his deceased father had absolutely nothing to do with each other.
Zhang Yuanqing carefully recalled the scenes from the dream and found them abnormally clear. Even after waking, the images remained fixed in his mind, as though they were things he had truly experienced.
Moreover, he had seen it from the first-person perspective—from Stop-Killing Palace Lord's perspective.
It hadn't felt like a dream at all. It was more like a fragment of memory.
That's right, a memory fragment!
Zhang Yuanqing was a Star Official who had devoured countless spirits. He knew that feeling all too well.
So the question was, why had a fragment of Stop-Killing Palace Lord's memories appeared inside him?
Could it be... Zhang Yuanqing's heart suddenly trembled as a bold thought surfaced. The hairs on his back and arms stood on end.
"What's wrong?!"
Guan Ya sat up as well, her brows furrowed, looking both tense and concerned.
Zhang Yuanqing drew a deep breath.
