Mu Anxiao, seeing that the old woman remained silent, grew angry. "Is it that difficult to answer a single question?"
The group of people didn't understand what Mu Anxiao was saying, but they were confused by her words.
"What hoe?" one of the women asked.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned to the woman who spoke and said coldly, "This is no place for you to speak."
Mu Anxiao thought that if she spoke nicely to the woman now, the old woman would latch onto those people's connections and feign more grievance. Her one mouth couldn't contend with so many.
Therefore, to prevent such a thing from happening, she had to act this way.
The woman, hearing Mu Anxiao's words, dared not continue the topic and lowered her head.
The others who had wanted to speak up for the old woman also lost their courage.
Mu Anxiao glanced at each of them, then turned her gaze back to the old woman's face and asked, "Tell me, who gave you that hoe?"
"I cannot say." The old woman's eyes flickered.
Moments later, Mu Anxiao sighed softly and turned to the dagger. "Return to your original form."
Hearing this, the dagger came to its senses, looking at Mu Anxiao blankly. "Why?"
Mu Anxiao: "Just do as I say, why so many questions?"
"..." The dagger dared not disobey Mu Anxiao. After she said that, it complied and returned to its original form, flying to her hand.
"..." Mu Anxiao remained silent, took the dagger, and turned back to the old woman. "There's quite a bit of human blood on this dagger. If you don't speak, I won't be polite."
"You wouldn't dare." The old woman shook her head slightly.
Mu Anxiao lowered her eyes and smiled. "If I wouldn't dare, then watch me dare." As she spoke, she raised the dagger.
The old woman frowned slightly. Then, just as Mu Anxiao swung the dagger towards herself, she quickly said, "I'll tell you." She was afraid.
"Speak..." Mu Anxiao still pressed the dagger to the old woman's neck. "Speak clearly, and I won't kill you."
Feng Qi Shi knew Mu Anxiao was trying to scare the old woman. He stood still, watching the mortals who had started to become scared again without a word.
"..." The old woman lowered her head, cautiously glancing at the dagger in Mu Anxiao's hand, becoming thoroughly nervous. "It was... that man who gave it to me."
"Which man?"
"..." The old woman's heart pounded faster. She cautiously glanced at the female ghost watching her intently. "It was that man who killed her."
"You killed me together, you can't escape." The female ghost emphasized.
The old woman ignored the female ghost and fixed her gaze on Mu Anxiao's face again. "I'm telling the truth."
"..." Mu Anxiao, using the old woman's words, hesitated and said, "You mean he knew, but you didn't?"
"Yes."
"Alright, I understand." Mu Anxiao said, lowering her dagger. She looked down at the dog spirit looking up at her with its dog-like face, frowned, and then looked at the group of people. "You can go."
The woman: "Really?" She looked incredulous.
"Go." Mu Anxiao spoke a single, flat word, as she didn't want them to hear some things.
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, the group of people rushed out the door excitedly.
The next second, screams were heard from the doorway.
Mu Anxiao covered her ears and looked at Feng Qi Shi. "Go take a look."
Feng Qi Shi nodded and obediently walked towards the doorway blocked by the people.
Outside.
The wolf demon was startled by the shouting. "What are you shouting for? Didn't you see him just now?" He bent down and used all his strength to lift Lin Yan's body.
Not a single person offered help. Instead, the moment the wolf demon lifted Lin Yan's body, the people in front instinctively took a few steps back.
Lin Yan understood them. After what they had just experienced inside, they would naturally be wary of certain things. To avoid leaving them with lingering shadows, he turned around and deliberately hid behind a pillar.
The wolf demon felt nothing towards them, only finding them troublesome. "Scared you, didn't I?" He glared at the few people in front, then shifted his position. Unable to bear the weight, he bent down and placed Lin Yan's body back on the ground.
At the same time, a man in the front row cautiously peered at Lin Yan's body, then was the first to rush out and run away. Following him, the others covered their noses, as if afraid of being suffocated, and left.
The wolf demon stood in place, one hand on his hip, watching the fleeing figures. He shook his head and looked at Lin Yan hiding behind the pillar. "I will bury you properly."
"You're so kind."
Hearing this, the wolf demon turned to see Feng Qi Shi crossing the threshold. He pouted. "I'm inherently kind." He then pointed at Lin Yan's body. "You've dealt with it."
"I know." Feng Qi Shi nodded, glancing in the direction the crowd had fled. He thought about the day Lin Yan sacrificed himself and said, "The human heart is truly the most difficult to fathom."
"The wolf's heart is also not easy to fathom." The wolf demon emphasized.
Feng Qi Shi heard this, turned to look at the wolf demon, and smiled helplessly.
The wolf demon: "..." He felt a little embarrassed by Feng Qi Shi's sudden stare. "Don't look at me like that."
"..." Seeing the wolf demon's awkward expression, Feng Qi Shi smiled, looked at Lin Yan, and pursed his lips, smiling.
Lin Yan gave a wry smile. "My disciple's fate is thin. If there is another life, I will still be your disciple."
Feng Qi Shi: "..." He didn't want to cry in front of Lin Yan. He turned his face away, trying to alleviate his grief. "Things inside are more troublesome. You all stay put."
"Okay." Lin Yan knew Feng Qi Shi was not good at expressing himself, so he helped to ease the atmosphere.
Feng Qi Shi nodded, turned, and walked back inside.
The wolf demon still stood with one hand on his hip, looking at Feng Qi Shi's retreating back. He made a tutting sound. "His eyes are red, yet he still endures." He looked at Lin Yan. "Your master is very reluctant to part with you."
"..." Lin Yan lowered his head.
Seeing Lin Yan's silence, the wolf demon stopped speaking.
Inside.
After the people left, the old woman instantly lost her earlier confidence and courage to look at Mu Anxiao. "..." She lowered her head.
Mu Anxiao held the dagger, her eyes coldly watching the old woman's evasive gaze, and said indifferently, "Everyone is gone. You can speak now."
"I..." The old woman hesitated.
Mu Anxiao's patience had its limits. She clenched her fist, impatient. "I don't have time to play games with you. If you have something to say, say it quickly, otherwise," she glanced down at the dagger, "don't blame me for being impolite." She raised the dagger again.
The old woman flinched, took half a step back, stared fixedly at the dagger, and said with a trembling voice, "I... I'll say it."
