Mu Anxiao listened to the questions from both sides, her expression turning somewhat embarrassed, "It's nothing, nothing."
"Nothing," Shen Yan glared at Mu Anxiao, then looked at the man, "Let's go."
"Alright," the man nodded, bowing slightly and extending his hand, "Please."
Shen Yan took the lead.
Mu Anxiao gave the man an awkward smile, "You go first, I don't know the way." She pointed in the direction Shen Yan was heading.
The man remained silent, stepped forward to Shen Yan's side, and Mu Anxiao followed behind them, her lips tightly pressed.
Upon arriving at the main hall, Mu Anxiao was instantly stunned by its layout. She stopped at the doorway, looking down at her own dirt-stained clothes, then glanced at Shen Yan, who was clean and receiving greetings, and lowered her head.
"Kid, aren't you very capable? How did you get lost?"
Mu Anxiao didn't react to someone speaking to her, still with her head lowered.
Shen Yan nudged Mu Anxiao's arm with her elbow and said, "They're talking to you."
Mu Anxiao, dazed, looked at Shen Yan, then looked up at the girl and frowned, "Why are you here too?"
"I didn't have breakfast either, so of course I came. But speaking of which, aren't you very capable? And you still got lost."
Mu Anxiao stared at the girl for a few seconds, then said, "Don't you have immortal destiny? And your immortal arts are still so poor."
"What did you say?" The boy suddenly appeared, standing beside the girl.
Mu Anxiao looked up at the boy and raised two fingers, "You don't need to hear what I said. If you don't want your magic sealed again, I advise you two to leave."
The boy glanced at Mu Anxiao's fingers and snorted, "Don't think we don't know, our sect has spirit items, that's why our magic was..." He paused abruptly, scratching his head.
The girl glanced at the boy and said actively, "Anyway, in short, our magic was sealed by some spirit item that was dozing off, it wasn't you."
Mu Anxiao was not intimidated by the girl's words and looked at the inner hall, saying, "You are all very impolite like this."
"How are we impolite?" the boy retorted angrily.
"We are guests, yet you blocked us at the door. That's one thing," Mu Anxiao looked at the man standing beside Shen Yan, who was constantly being interrupted by them, "You even blocked your senior brother here with us. How polite of you." As she spoke, she stepped back and stood behind Shen Yan.
Shen Yan remained indifferent.
The man walked around Shen Yan and stood in front of the two flushed figures, saying, "You two are usually lazy, that's why your magic suddenly failed. That's one thing, but then you spout nonsense here. Go face the wall."
"Senior Brother..."
"Go," the man spat out the word sternly.
The girl pouted and cried dryly, "If you treat me like this, aren't you afraid my father will punish you?"
"I'm not afraid," the man said coldly, turning to Shen Yan and Mu Anxiao, "Two, please."
Shen Yan didn't even glance at the girl and walked across the threshold into the hall.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the girl standing in annoyance, snorted, and followed.
"You two stand here and face the wall," the man said coldly.
The girl and the boy obediently walked out of the main hall and turned to face the door.
The man walked inside.
Shen Yan and Mu Anxiao stopped together before the large round table. Mu Anxiao looked at the luxurious decorations in the hall with surprise, completely disregarding the gasps of other disciples as she exclaimed, "This place is really huge."
"Two," the middle-aged man stood up and cupped his hands.
