Mu Anxiao dared not get angry and continued to smile, "Oh, really? Then I'm all good, you can go rest inside."
"Alright, call me if you need anything." The old man replied nonchalantly, stepping back and closing the door with a 'thud'.
Mu Anxiao stared at the door the old man had closed from up close, her lips still curved upwards. She thought, 'Don't be angry, don't be angry, there are plenty of people who will mess with you...' As she thought this, she turned around and couldn't help but let out a couple of loud "Aahhhh!" screams, flinging her arms and shouting, "That felt great."
After walking for a while, Mu Anxiao had been 'played' by the families of every 'old maiden with immortal destiny' in this row of courtyards. Standing with her back to the gate of the last courtyard, she took out the booklet from her pocket, flipped it open, and sighed, "So unlucky, I really want to curse someone."
"Is it hard to find?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked towards Shen Yan, who was walking towards her, and huffed back, "What do you think?"
"Seeing your dejected look, do you want me to help you." Shen Yan walked up to Mu Anxiao and extended his hand.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the booklet and deliberately pulled it back, "You can't touch this."
"If you can touch it, I can't?" Shen Yan looked down at Mu Anxiao and asked.
Mu Anxiao said arrogantly, "You can touch it, but if it burns you, don't blame me." With that, she handed the booklet over with a 'swish'.
Shen Yan let out a soft hum, reached out, and took the booklet very calmly. He flipped it open and said, "You went to the wrong place."
"Huh?" Mu Anxiao blinked in surprise.
"You should go in the opposite direction of this place. This is where the older generation with immortal destiny lived, and many of them have passed away." Shen Yan explained patiently.
Mu Anxiao's expression stiffened, "You mean... they're dead? But everyone said they weren't."
Shen Yan pushed the booklet back into Mu Anxiao's hand, "Because those who have passed away live on in their hearts. In their eyes, they are not dead."
"Then... what about that first old man?" Mu Anxiao sought the truth.
"He's gone mad, an exception." Shen Yan said faintly.
"An exception..." Mu Anxiao's mouth twitched, and she gave a wry smile, "So, in that case, I'm really amazing, to be able to have a conversation with a madman. I'm truly remarkable."
"You are quite remarkable, hurry up and go." Shen Yan patted Mu Anxiao's shoulder. Then, as he removed his hand, he exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, why is your shoulder so dirty."
"The way you said that, I'm..." Mu Anxiao shook her head, "So speechless." With that, she turned and headed back the way she came.
Shen Yan continued to stare at his hand with a look of disgust, then turned and walked towards the well.
After walking a few steps, Mu Anxiao looked back at Shen Yan, who was squatting by the well washing his hands, and snorted before continuing to walk forward.
"You are truly an idiot."
After the shout, an invisible foot kicked Mu Anxiao's back, and in an instant, she was sprawled on the ground again.
At the same time, Shen Yan had just stood up and looked at the fallen Mu Anxiao.
"What's all the excitement about." He said, glancing at the man in the black cloak standing behind Mu Anxiao, then looked back down and continued washing his hands.
Mu Anxiao struggled to prop herself up and looked down at her palm, which was covered in sand. She said, "Man, I'll admit you're ruthless."
"Say that again."
Hearing the voice behind her, Mu Anxiao slanted her eyes and quickly started running.
The invisible man stopped in place, watching Mu Anxiao's fleeing figure, and smiled sinisterly. He turned and looked at Shen Yan, who was still squatting by the well washing his hands, "As expected, the people chosen by Shen Yan are all fools." Saying this, he turned and chased after Mu Anxiao.
