"What does it have to do with me?" the girl avoided her gaze.
"Is bullying my sister fun? If it is, then only I can bully her. I'll play, you're not qualified," Feng Qishi said coldly.
Mu Anxiao took a step back, glanced at the girl, and said nothing.
"Did you... you guys hear?" the girl asked nervously, looking at Mu Anxiao.
"Your group's voices were so loud, it was hard not to hear, wasn't it?" Feng Qishi glanced at Mu Anxiao, who had been startled by them, saying, "Idiot."
"Who are you calling an idiot?" Mu Anxiao raised her head and glared at Feng Qishi.
"Just tell me if it's true or not," Feng Qishi said arrogantly.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi's triumphant demeanor, then at the girl who had indeed bullied Feng Feng, and nodded, "Yes."
"You guys are bullying me," the girl pouted.
"Let's not talk about bullying for now. Five hundred, it's paid back," Feng Qishi extended his hand.
Yan Shan looked at the wronged expression on the girl's face, then at Feng Qishi. He stood up and said, "Alright, if she had money, she wouldn't be spending your sister's." With that, he walked to Feng Qishi's side.
Mu Anxiao looked at the girl's visibly relaxed expression, then frowned and touched the round object in her pocket that was starting to stir. She thought: That guy has come here. As she thought this, she looked around, and finally saw the malevolent spirit standing in the corner, staring intently at the girl's back.
Mu Anxiao's eyes narrowed. Without a word, she stepped forward a few paces, grabbed the girl's arm, and then glared at the malevolent spirit, which had suddenly deflated. She mentally commanded, "Scram."
The malevolent spirit frowned, turned, and vanished instantly.
Immediately, Mu Anxiao released the girl's arm. As soon as she turned, Feng Qishi said, "My friend here is very capable. If you don't pay back the money, she has ways to deal with you."
"You..."
"Don't 'you' me. I'll leave this one to you," Feng Qishi interrupted Mu Anxiao, turning to Feng Feng. "Alright, let's go in and eat."
"This way might not be good," Yan Shan said with concern.
"I don't bully girls, but she has to return this money. It's the rule of the martial world," Feng Qishi said, turning and walking into the shop first.
Feng Feng gave the girl a disappointed look, then smiled at Mu Anxiao and said, "Sister, thank you." With that, she quickly followed Feng Qishi.
Yan Shan sighed lightly and said, "Take your time, no rush." He then looked at the girl and walked away.
Mu Anxiao never expected that the matter would eventually fall upon her. She took a few steps back, looking at the girl's pitiful expression, and frowned, "Can you stop looking at me like that."
"Sister, I'm just a student."
Mu Anxiao had always detested people who played the victim. Seeing the girl's demeanor now, and recalling her expression after hearing Yan Shan's words, she said coldly, "You're a student, but is Feng Qishi's sister not a student?"
"I..."
"You owe them over two thousand. It's already very kind of them to ask for five hundred. Don't say anything," Mu Anxiao's eyes were filled with indifference. "Either pay the money, or I'll take you to talk to your parents."
"My parents are both sick, and my family is very poor. Please don't treat me like this. I'm truly pitiful."
"Let me see your hand," Mu Anxiao glanced at the girl's hand.
The girl obediently extended her hand. Mu Anxiao expressionlessly took it and examined it. "Your hands are beautiful, but," she turned the girl's hand over to look at her palm, "there are calluses. You must work hard."
