"I know," Mu Anxiao replied impatiently, pushing aside the white-clothed, long-haired woman with one hand as she carefully stepped over the threshold and walked out.
Shen Yan, holding a wooden toothbrush, asked, "What is it?"
"You said, what did you mean by people here being hypocritical?"
"Why do you listen to everything?" Shen Yan said, annoyed.
"No, I overheard it by accident," said the white-clothed, long-haired woman. Glancing at the sky outside, she added, "I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it, but the sky does look strange."
"Try your sorcery," Shen Yan said. After sprinkling salt on the brush, she put the bottle away, bypassed the white-clothed, long-haired woman, and stepped out of the room, stopping at the foot of the steps.
"Why did you come out?" Mu Anxiao asked vaguely while brushing her teeth.
"If you don't wash your face, I'll go in and do it."
Hearing Shen Yan's words and thinking of the water in the basin, she mumbled, "That water has already been used by you."
"Do you mean for me to use water you've already used?" Shen Yan asked, starting to brush her teeth leisurely.
After brushing twice, Mu Anxiao said, "The people here are really inconsiderate. Elsewhere, they would provide two basins of water."
"If you hadn't come here, your washing place today would have been by the lake."
Mu Anxiao was speechless and continued brushing her teeth.
The white-clothed, long-haired woman tried her sorcery in the room, her brow furrowed. She turned and walked to the door, looking at Shen Yan's retreating back and asked, "Strange, why has my sorcery weakened so much?"
Shen Yan half-turned to look at the white-clothed, long-haired woman, took away her wooden toothbrush, and said, "Go and see for yourself, and you'll know."
"You're right," the white-clothed, long-haired woman nodded, turned, and disappeared.
Mu Anxiao's body involuntarily trembled. She turned to look at Shen Yan and said, "We'll leave after we wash up."
"If you leave now, you won't have any rations."
Mu Anxiao tilted her head to look at the gloomy sky and said, "Even without rations, I still hope to stay alive. Besides, her senior sisters are only half a year older than her. Thinking of introducing them to you, there's no possibility."
"Alright, I'll listen to you this time." After saying that, Shen Yan took her toothbrush and returned to the room.
Mu Anxiao brushed her teeth twice more, then turned and, without intending to, looked at the girl walking towards her. She sighed helplessly, "Why have you come?"
However, the girl today did not seem as happy. She stopped in front of Mu Anxiao, pouted, and said, "Father hit me."
"Hit you?" Mu Anxiao said, taking the toothbrush out of her mouth and smiling, "Was it because you didn't follow the rules?"
"Can you stop talking nonsense?" the girl said angrily.
Mu Anxiao's eyes flickered, and she couldn't be bothered to speak. She bypassed the girl and walked to the door, carefully stepping over the threshold. Without another word, she went to the copper basin, bent down, and scooped water with her hands to wash her face.
The girl walked into the room and looked at Shen Yan, who was packing things by the table. She asked, "Are you guys leaving?"
Shen Yan did not want to answer the girl's question and turned to look at Mu Anxiao, whose face was full of water.
The girl followed Shen Yan's gaze and looked at Mu Anxiao, then pouted, "I knew you were the servant." Saying that, she stepped up and stood beside Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao picked up a face towel and casually wiped her face, saying, "We are leaving, and we won't be eating breakfast either."
"If you leave, what will happen to me?" the girl said angrily.
"You can have it cold or hot, it has nothing to do with me," Mu Anxiao said, gently placing the face towel into the copper basin.
Shen Yan picked up the travel bag and handed it to Mu Anxiao, "Take it."
"Okay," Mu Anxiao agreed, bypassed the girl, and went in front of Shen Yan to take the bag and sling it over her shoulder.
