I chose not to hide anything from you and ask for your confidentiality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan was somewhat surprised, after all, the Jing Family’s change of attitude towards him was a bit excessive, but he still smiled and said, \"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, he returned to the carriage and raised his hand to help his own Lady Yin down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, an unusual scene suddenly unfolded as a buzzing red mist drifted down from the sky. The mist was densely packed, appearing as countless \"dots,\" enough to drive someone with trypophobia insane...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red mist descended from the sky, enveloping the front of Li Yuan’s carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan and Cui Huayin looked over and saw the red mist engulf the driver of the Imperial Carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver began to scream miserably, his skin appearing like a sheet of white paper encountering fire, starting to form red and black holes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two saw clearly that the red mist was composed of countless dust-like little bugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan pulled Cui Huayin, drawing her behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Huayin hesitated momentarily before proudly standing back beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, the driver screamed, clutching his head as his skin began to shed, his body changing in size, and his face becoming completely different, turning into someone else’s appearance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no longer the driver from the Cui Family, but a completely unfamiliar person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the bugs did not relent, continuing to bite him as if his flesh was particularly delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His flesh rapidly diminished, exposing grim white bones, which soon became a skeleton... and in an instant, the skeleton also turned to powder, scattering in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cui Huayin, accustomed to vast spectacles, simply watched quietly, her eyes revealing a pensive expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a voice arose behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Turns out Master Li is indeed infiltrated by Corpse Walking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yuan turned around to see a distinguished middle-aged man in brocade robes standing beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This man, he had seen at the wedding banquet, was none other than Patriarch Jing Banfeng of the Jing Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Patriarch Jing.\" Li Yuan saluted, revealing an expression of astonishment, looking towards the carriage, seemingly still incredulous, \"That person was clearly from the Cui Family;
