55: A human-demon

"You cannot keep me locked up in here. I told you that it was not my fault. I was not the one who called the demon here."

Master Xiao insisted as he stood in the middle of the destroyed village.

The only thing he remembered was closing his eyes at night in his bed and waking up butt-naked outside.

People crowded around him, and guards kept their distance from him.

However, it came secondary to young master Xiao, whose primary focus was to recall what happened to him and who framed him.

"Give way! Let Minister Xiao pass through."

The crowd parted as they allowed Minister Xiao to get to his son.

"Father, this is not my fault. I was not the one who did all this. You believe me, right? You saw me go to sleep last night-"

"..."

Young master Xiao tried to get his father to understand that it was not his fault, but his blood chilled as soon as he noticed the cold look on the older man's face.
