Despair

Upon hearing the innkeeper's words, Chen Fei furrowed his brows. Was the Ruan family's wipeout because of him?

In Chen Fei's mind, he recalled the three people from the Yashan Sect he had encountered outside Shang Wu City, especially Xu Yanxin, who had been wounded by his Godslayer Sword.

Mental injuries, though they might not seem significant, could have a lasting impact on one's future cultivation if not handled properly.

So, did Xu Yanxin hold a grudge and, upon discovering a connection between the Ruan family and Chen Fei, decided to eliminate the Ruan family altogether?

In the eyes of other families in Qinhai City, Chen Fei's relationship with the Ruan family was likely considered very close. Perhaps many members of the Ruan family thought the same.
