Chapter 775: Chapter 776 Error?_1

"And then?"

Seeing that Lorraine Tower made no further move, Gitalien, with his arms folded across his chest, asked calmly, and after a long hesitation, Lorraine Tower said,

"Go elsewhere."

"Hey! What exactly are you two doing!"

The woman pointed at Lorraine Tower and Gitalien with some dissatisfaction, thinking to herself that these two seemed very peculiar, wondering what they were up to.

Everyone was startled by her action, and Li Gui, after a moment of surprise, looked at the woman and exclaimed,

"Sis, I didn’t expect you to be so formidable."

"What?!"

The woman’s eyes widened as if threatening to deal with Li Gui if he did not explain. Glancing at Lorraine Tower and Gitalien, Li Gui whispered,

"The white-haired one is... Lorraine Tower, and the person beside him must be..."

Although unclear whether the latter was a Divine Beast or not, he was likely no average person, considering that such strength would be required to assist Lorraine Tower.

"Lorraine Tower?!"

The woman gritted her teeth and stared fiercely at Lorraine Tower and said venomously. At this moment, Lorraine Tower pushed open the door and entered the main house, which looked vastly different with its luxurious decor compared to the haunted house appearance before.

"Rich people... they really do make one envious～"

Feng Yuan teased, to which Qi Chen looked askance at him and said irritably,

"You, that is..."

Just then, in the hall, Li En was seen supporting Shen Mingxin, pointing around the hall as if envisioning something. Shen Mingxin, cradling his arm, looked blissfully happy, snuggled against his shoulder, and whispered something softly.

"Mother Shen..."

Granny Mianlan looked worriedly at Shen Mingxin, knowing well the importance of Li En to her, having lived with her for a long time. From the moment she had met her, Shen Mingxin had been tirelessly searching for Li En, who had fallen into the river of time, but...

After glancing at Granny Mianlan, who was older than herself, Shen Mingxin smiled and shook her head, saying,

"Xiao Bai Mei... you seem to have been through a lot too..."

Granny Mianlan remained silent; some things understood between them needed no words, just a glance. Looking at Yun You, who was supporting her, there were things Granny Mianlan simply could not bring herself to say.

"Are these the images from when they first came here?"

Feng Yuan asked somewhat puzzledly. Although it made sense to follow past clues, the continuous replay of past memories seemed somewhat cruel to the person involved.

Lorraine Tower glanced at Feng Yuan without responding but looked at Shen Mingxin, who seemed to understand that this might be the closest they had come to success, and smiled, shaking her head,

"Don’t mind me, don’t you also need to find him?"

"What exactly do you want to do!"

The woman yelled at Lorraine Tower dissatisfiedly, extending her discontent to Gitalien as well. Shen Mingxin gently patted the woman and asked softly with a smile,

"Isn’t it enough that they are helping us search for him?"

"But..."

"Strange..."

Lorraine Tower was somewhat astonished. Although there were only two clues, he was barely able to sense something, but that outcome seemed...

In the garden, Li En and Shen Mingxin were talking to each other. Li En picked a flower from the nearby flowerbed and held it up to Shen Mingxin, smiling and saying something, yet Shen Mingxin seemed somewhat preoccupied.

In the bedroom, the two seemed to be arguing. Shen Mingxin struggled to rise from the bed as if she wanted to leave, but Li En held her from behind, seemingly whispering some sort of persuasion.

"How strange, who exactly is Li En? Isn’t this the Freyne mansion?"

Feng Yuan murmured to himself in confusion. Yun You glanced at Feng Yuan then at Granny Mianlan who was accompanying Shen Mingxin, hesitated, before whispering to Feng Yuan,

"Actually, this used to be the Li family mansion. Freyne was the surname of the butler back in the day, the one called Milon."

"Granny, because of some issues, had been living all alone with Mrs. Shen over the years. In fact, these years, the granny has been trying to make up for her regrets, only..."

"Mrs. Shen passed away thirteen years ago, and it’s said that before her death she was still murmuring Li En’s name, and her eldest daughter..."

"Why would it be the butler... Alright, I understand now."

Glancing at Shen Mingxin, Feng Yuan suddenly realized that the Guardian Wars didn’t just affect the Divine Land Region, but the flames of war had spread to all regions back then. Otherwise, the Alliance wouldn’t have grown so quickly to rival the Divine Beast Hall.

Shen Mingxin herself was just a woman, but Milon Freyne was different. From his previous threats, Feng Yuan could guess that Milon must be a citizen of Drochkar in the Omeilia Great Nation during this period. His citizenship status at this time wasn’t a small deterrent for some minor nobles, at least it could ward off some underhanded scheming.

"Is it really useful..."

The woman frowned, looking concerningly at Lorraine Tower and Gitalien as they continued to conjure illusions. At this point, the images had progressed from romance to after marriage, where a frail Shen Mingxin, holding a little girl, spoke cheerily about something, while Li En, beside her, seemed unhappy with a grim face.

"What exactly..."

Shen Mingxin was somewhat puzzled as the imagery from this point onwards started to diverge from her memory. Seeing the imagery continue, Shen Mingxin, recalling what Feng Yuan had said about the consequences of incorrect clues, spoke up,

"Are you sure you’re not mistaken? This should not be something I’ve experienced..."

Looking at Shen Mingxin, Lorraine Tower did not reply and continued working in silence, Gitalien glanced at Lorraine Tower, wanting to speak up but was stopped by a look.

The images persisted, but now they depicted a scene of intense argument between Li En and Shen Mingxin. A little girl cuddled fearfully at Shen Mingxin’s feet, watching Li En, whose expression was scary. He seemed very angry, shouting at Shen Mingxin, while she, holding an infant, responded gently.

"What exactly..."

As the discrepancy with her memory grew, Shen Mingxin couldn’t help but suspect Lorraine Tower’s intentions. Feng Yuan, puzzled, watched Lorraine Tower who remained silent, carrying on with his task without any explanation.

Finally, a major divergence appeared in the images. The conflict between Shen Mingxin and Li En seemed to have worsened terribly. Wearing thin clothes, Shen Mingxin trembled as she walked out of the main mansion, while two little girls waved goodbye at the doorstep, seemingly unaware of what had happened.

Li En, looking exhausted, returned to the main mansion, after searching frantically through the entire Freyne estate, he shook the little girl as if asking her something.

"Is this really history?"

Watching Li En cry in despair, Feng Yuan was confounded; something seemed off. Moreover, the Shen Mingxin before him was different from the one in the images.

Feng Yuan was not the only one to notice this anomaly; others did too, but compared to Feng Yuan, they seemed inherently distrustful of Lorraine Tower. Just as Li Gui was about to confront Lorraine Tower, the woman brushed Li Gui aside and, turning towards Lorraine Tower, demanded loudly,

"What is your intention! Do you find it amusing to trick us?!"

"You know the relationship between grandma and him, yet you intentionally create such images! What exactly are you trying to achieve?"

"Don’t think I wouldn’t dare to do anything to you just because you’re a Divine Beast! I tell you! If they come to any harm, I, Li Nian, will certainly seek justice for them!"

"Even if you are a Divine Beast, I’m not afraid! What those humans from the Mythical Era could do, I believe I can do too!"

"Do you think I truly wouldn’t lay a hand on you?"

Lorraine Tower looked at Li Nian unfavorably while Granny Mianlan, shielding Li Nian behind her, faced Lorraine Tower and said calmly,

"Regarding her words about the Mythical Era, I can apologize to you on her behalf. But for everything else, could you offer us an explanation? I believe you are not one of those gods who can’t distinguish good from bad."

"Don’t speak. I don’t know what you think about the matters from the Mythical Era, but there’s something very wrong with your mindset. Once we resolve the issues here, I will go ask Li Deng what exactly she taught you."

Before Li Nian could say anything, Granny Mianlan warned her and turned to Lorraine Tower, who replied calmly,

"No comment."
