Chapter 36 Origin

• The fire incident at the pharmacy and the South Court was truly peculiar. It was definitely malicious arson, but none of the servants had spotted anyone suspicious lurking around. Even the young clan member guarding the pharmacy the entire night did not notice anyone going in and out of the pharmacy.
• Luckily for them, the fire was not too large, and the servants managed to control and extinguish it quickly. Xiao Yunhai hastily took stock of the damage done before calling for Xiao Gu to return with him to Xiao Yulong’s chambers. Xiao Yunhai called out for his son before opening the doors to his bedroom, but he was not prepared for what he was about to witness.
• Xiao Yulong was no longer on his bed but lying in a pool of his own blood on the floor lifelessly. His limbs were mangled and bloodied, and his face was barely recognizable, with blood running from his eyes and gaping holes where his ears, nose and lips used to be. He was foaming at the mouth, or what was left of it. His clothes were completely soaked in blood.
