"The immortal pill you gave him only protected him from close harm by the wolf demon; it didn't erase his memory. Furthermore, with what you said before you left, that biology teacher wouldn't believe Feng Qishi's words anymore. Even if he did, he wouldn't dare to come after you. You," Zhang Yan leaned against the sofa, "shouldn't worry about it."
"Why wouldn't he dare to find me?" Mu Anxiao asked, confused.
"There are many things in this world that cannot be explained clearly. You have hands and feet; what can they do to you?" Zhang Yan said, extending his hand. "Alright, hand the wolf demon over to me."
"No, I'm taking the wolf demon back. Also," Mu Anxiao's mind couldn't help but conjure Feng Qishi's appearance, and her heart sank as she said, "Before I leave, I want to erase the memories of Feng Qishi and that biology teacher. I can't let them remember me, otherwise, I always feel uneasy."
"How will you get there?"
"I'll act when it's dark," Mu Anxiao said with confidence.
"You have your own ideas, and I can't do anything about it." Zhang Yan shrugged.
"Right, why do the people here look the same as the people from our place? And their names, and many other things are very similar. Most importantly, why was that biology teacher targeted by the wolf demon?" Mu Anxiao didn't want to ask this series of questions, but seeing Zhang Yan like this, she couldn't hold back.
"That biology teacher interacted with many creatures, and naturally, he had the spiritual energy of many animals on him. In other words, his relationship with Feng Qishi was too close, and he naturally picked up Feng Qishi's aura. So, the wolf demon naturally took that biology teacher as a substitute."
"The people here?" Mu Anxiao was still standing in place, asking.
"We are from the past time period, and this is the future time period, so of course, we look the same," Zhang Yan said after thinking. "It's just that there's an instruction from above that we cannot interact with mortals. So, whether we are in the past or present, we are mysterious existences."
"This is a thousand years later?" Mu Anxiao concealed her inner unease and asked.
"Yes." Zhang Yan nodded.
"I see." Mu Anxiao mumbled, turning to look at Fan Yan standing outside the window, stunned.
However, Zhang Yan calmly stood up from the sofa and said, "Sit down and rest for a while."
"Him?" Mu Anxiao glanced sideways.
Zhang Yan smiled. "The soundproofing in my room is very strong. Moreover, even if that kid heard us, he would think I was telling you ghost stories."
"Oh." Mu Anxiao nodded expressionlessly.
"Sit down," Zhang Yan said, pointing to the sofa again.
"No need, I'll leave now." Mu Anxiao turned and walked to the door, grasping the doorknob. She paused, then turned her head slightly and asked, "What is my job?"
Regarding this, Zhang Yan had only thought of an excuse to keep her, but he hadn't really considered anything else.
Hearing no sound from behind her, Mu Anxiao said, "If you don't tell me, how can I repay the money you spent on my clothes?"
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, Zhang Yan suddenly remembered that the old gentleman had mentioned arranging a job for Mu Anxiao.
"Um, did your master give you a note?" he said, walking to Mu Anxiao.
"Yes," Mu Anxiao replied, taking out the note from her pocket and handing it to Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan took the note, unfolded it, and was stunned to see the four characters for self-reliance written on it.
"What's wrong?" Mu Anxiao asked, seeing his frozen expression.
