"This..."
"You'd better say less," the first young man glared at the second, smiling. "Boss, whatever you say goes. We won't speak or argue."
"We'll move it in a moment," the old man said, turning to Mu Anxiao. "Tomorrow I'll give you some money to buy a few new clothes."
"No need, I'm fine in these."
"You look too out of place dressed like this," the old man stated bluntly.
Mu Anxiao didn't think her attire was strange; right now, she just wanted to catch the wolf demon as quickly as possible.
"It's fine, I'm not wearing this for anyone else to see. I'm comfortable in it. If that's all, I'll be going now," she intended to refuse the old man's kindness.
"Where are you going?" the old man asked.
"To talk outside," Mu Anxiao said, turning and walking out of the monitoring room first.
The old man frowned, then looked at the two young men. "No eavesdropping."
They both nodded.
Then, the old man turned back and followed Mu Anxiao out of the monitoring room, stopping behind her. "Your master said he wanted me to look after you. If you leave like this, how can I explain it to him?"
Mu Anxiao slowly turned to the old man and said, "He must have told you about my mission here, too."
"Shen Yan has already reincarnated," the old man said suddenly.
Mu Anxiao's eyes widened. "What about the wolf demon?"
"I heard Shen Yan sent him to hell here, but he seems to have escaped recently. I don't really know where he went," the old man's tone had softened considerably compared to before.
"How old is Shen Yan now?"
"Eighteen. He's supposed to be taking college entrance exams this year."
"The wolf demon must have escaped to find Shen Yan's next life," Mu Anxiao became anxious, worried the wolf demon would again try to use Shen Yan's body as a vessel for its soul.
"I don't know, but I think Shen Yan's next life won't be easy to find." xxs
"I came to stop him. With all this happening... how can I even start my mission?" Mu Anxiao said, turning her face away.
"This should help you find its demon soul," the old man said, pulling a circular disk resembling a compass from his pocket and handing it to Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao took the disk and asked, "What is this?"
"This is a divine artifact to find him. Remember, your mission now is to find Shen Yan's next life first, then find the wolf demon."
Hearing the old man's words, Mu Anxiao suddenly felt the mission was quite taxing.
"Can you tell me... why the wolf demon failed?"
"He secretly took Shen Yan to the Star Disk land, and then Shen Yan suddenly woke up. Afterward, he, who was originally the initiator, became the passive one. Shen Yan took him directly to the underworld here, and because Shen Yan had been here before, combined with the timing of reincarnation, they gave him a pass to reincarnate smoothly. Before that, he sent the wolf demon to hell here, and then... the old demon broke out."
"Shen Yan is really amazing," Mu Anxiao couldn't help but admire Shen Yan's spirit.
"Naturally, but because of you," the old man glanced cautiously at Mu Anxiao's face, "he became human."
"You know about this too," Mu Anxiao said softly.
"The old man told me. He told me about the wolf demon before you came, and he asked me to tell you. However, he said you are a good girl, and that this was Shen Yan's unavoidable destiny. They have all forgiven you," the old man said calmly.
