"You said you got lost, and now they say they're sending you to a cultivation sect. So... if you put it that way," Feng Qishi pondered their conversation, "could it be that your memory is distorted?"
"Distorted," Mu Anxiao repeated, a cold laugh escaping her lips. "This plan, it's obvious that woman came up with it."
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean." Mu Anxiao tilted her head, looking up at Feng Qishi's bewildered expression. "Don't you find that woman very clever?"
"Clever?" Feng Qishi's mind was a muddle.
Mu Anxiao thought Feng Qishi would immediately understand her meaning, but for a long time, he just seemed occasionally intelligent. "Just now, Mu Xi couldn't finish speaking. Did you hear what she said?" she retorted.
"I heard."
"Is it credible?"
"It makes perfect sense, unimpeachable."
"Her adaptability is quite something," Mu Anxiao said, standing up.
Feng Qishi blinked. "Adaptability? What does that mean?"
"That woman is very good with her words," Mu Anxiao said, shaking her head slightly. "Truly terrifying." As she spoke, she turned to look at the maidservant who had stopped beside them, head bowed in tears.
Feng Qishi followed Mu Anxiao's gaze, turning to look at the silently weeping maidservant, his brow furrowed. "..." He didn't recognize her?
"You don't recognize her," Mu Anxiao said, observing Feng Qishi's puzzled expression.
"Who is she? And..."
"She's the maidservant involved with Mu Xi. What kind of memory do you have?" As she spoke, she stepped forward, staring intently at the maidservant's profile.
The wolf demon watched Mu Anxiao's retreating back, also perplexed. "What are you doing?"
"..." Mu Anxiao remained silent, suddenly feeling a sense of familiarity with the maidservant.
Lin Yan: "Could it be she recognizes that maidservant?" He turned to look at the wolf demon.
The wolf demon looked at Lin Yan, who had made such a guess, with a helpless expression. "When did I not notice you liked to overthink things?"
"This is the past. She's also the young lady here, so naturally, she'd have an impression of the people here. What do you mean I'm overthinking? Are you even speaking properly?" Lin Yan retorted, glaring at the wolf demon before turning his gaze back to Mu Anxiao's retreating figure.
The wolf demon curled his lips. "If your guess is right, I'll apologize to you ten times and protect you once. It's just a pity, your guess is definitely wrong." He let out a soft snort.
Although Lin Yan was accustomed to the wolf demon's dismissive attitude, the wolf demon's words were indeed tempting.
So, with confidence, he turned to the wolf demon and smiled. "Remember your words."
"..." The wolf demon cast a sideways glance at Lin Yan. "Don't worry, your guess is definitely..."
Unexpectedly, he was cut off mid-sentence as Mu Anxiao suddenly turned around and looked at them. "I remember now."
The wolf demon stopped speaking.
Because of the wolf demon's promise, Lin Yan instantly began to anticipate Mu Anxiao's reply.
Feng Qishi: "Remember what?"
"It was her who played hide-and-seek with me," Mu Anxiao said, glancing sideways at the silently weeping maidservant.
The moment Mu Anxiao said this, the wolf demon's expression froze.
Lin Yan curled his lips and turned to the wolf demon. "You can apologize to me now."
"..." The wolf demon averted his gaze, but he kept his word and apologized ten times.
Feng Qishi and Mu Anxiao had no idea what had happened between them. But they were equally puzzled by the wolf demon's sudden apology.
"What did he do to you?" Mu Anxiao ignored the maidservant behind her and asked Lin Yan.
Lin Yan: "A secret."
"A secret?" Mu Anxiao repeated, thinking for a moment before asking, "You didn't bet on me, did you?"
Mu Anxiao had vaguely overheard their conversation earlier but hadn't paid it much mind. Seeing Lin Yan's mysterious expression now, she made this guess.
Lin Yan hadn't expected Mu Anxiao to think of this, so he smiled. "Yes."
"How boring." Mu Anxiao was helpless. She turned to look at the maidservant's retreating figure, frowning. "She must know about their scheme."
Feng Qishi: "Mu Xi didn't mention her." He stared at the maidservant's back.
Mu Anxiao: "Perhaps she forgot, but I feel that the events of tomorrow will definitely be connected to her."
"Why do you say that?" Feng Qishi asked, confused.
Mu Anxiao: "Just guessing." As she spoke, she stepped forward to follow the maidservant.
Feng Qishi glanced at the wolf demon and Lin Yan, asking, "What do you think?"
Wolf Demon: "Let's follow and see, then we'll know." He started to walk ahead.
Feng Qishi thought the wolf demon's words made sense and nodded. "That's right." He then looked at Lin Yan, who was secretly smiling while staring at the wolf demon's back, and asked, "What are you smiling about?"
"Master, he owes me," Lin Yan said without preamble, then took the lead.
Feng Qishi was utterly confused. "..." He followed them.
In the blink of an eye.
Mu Anxiao and the others followed the maidservant to the outside of the woodshed in the backyard.
"The woodshed," Feng Qishi said preemptively.
"It's the woodshed," Mu Anxiao nodded, staring at the locked woodshed door. She thought for a moment and said, "It must be related to her." As she spoke, she looked at the maidservant who was staring at the woodshed door.
At the same time, the maidservant started crying again, but this time louder than before.
"She's crying," Feng Qishi said calmly.
Lin Yan: "A man who claimed to love her is about to marry another woman. No woman would be able to bear that, especially given her young age."
"You seem to know quite a lot," the wolf demon glanced at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan: "I had an uncle who, like Mu Xi, deceived a maidservant's heart. In the end, that maidservant..." He trailed off.
The wolf demon asked curiously, "What happened in the end?"
Lin Yan looked at the wolf demon and shook his head slightly. "She committed suicide."
"What?" the wolf demon exclaimed in surprise.
"She probably couldn't come to terms with it. She was supposed to marry my uncle, but in the end..." Lin Yan continued, "my uncle married a lady of equivalent social standing. That would be a great hurt to any girl."
"..." The wolf demon mulled over Lin Yan's words. "Then that maidservant wouldn't have reached the point of despair. Life is far more important than your uncle."
"When love runs deep, it brings pain," Lin Yan sighed.
Feng Qishi listened to their conversation, contemplating their own lack of romantic experience. He shook his head, not wanting to dampen their spirits, and let them continue.
"When love runs deep, it brings pain," Mu Anxiao repeated Lin Yan's words. She then looked at the maidservant, who was crying uncontrollably, and asked, "Why does deep love always bring pain?" She turned to look at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi, seeing Mu Anxiao look at him, was taken aback. He then looked around and asked, "Hey? What are you looking at me for?"
