"....Alu Rong forced a smile. 'I'm not like you. You have your luck, but I have nothing. No immortal bothers with me. I'm fine like this.'"
"You're fine like this?" Mu An Xiao asked, looking at Alu Rong, who was now only a soul.
Alu Rong replied, "In this life, I've been a good person and a bad person. To atone in the end, I'm content."
"You have a very open mind," Mu An Xiao said, stretching her now healed arms and legs.
Feng Qi Shi watched Mu An Xiao move her limbs with ease and said calmly, "You're alright now."
"I know," Mu An Xiao replied. She then looked down at her dirty clothes and back up at Feng Qi Shi. "Um, could you do me a favor?"
"Change your clothes?"
"Mhm," Mu An Xiao nodded.
Feng Qi Shi sighed, about to cast a spell, when the elder walked in with a tray. "How is she?"
Hearing the elder's question, Feng Qi Shi quickly lowered his hand and turned to face the elder, who was placing the tray on the table. "Don't worry, she's alright now."
"That's good," the elder said. As he turned to leave, he inadvertently saw the bloody water in the copper basin. "She's lost so much blood, and she's still alright." He then stepped forward, passing through Alu Rong's soul, and stopped by the bed. He looked down at Mu An Xiao and said softly, "Perhaps I should call a doctor to examine you."
"No need, I'm already better," Mu An Xiao replied. She glanced at Alu Rong, who stood beside the elder, and pursed her lips.
"..." Alu Rong stared at the elder with tear-filled eyes, saying nothing.
Following Mu An Xiao's gaze, the elder looked in Alu Rong's direction, then behind him. "By the way, where is Alu Rong?"
Mu An Xiao casually picked up her folding fan and said, "She... she's already dead."
"Wh-what did you say?" The elder stiffened, his eyes instantly welling up with tears. He then composed himself as much as possible and asked, "Where is she now?"
Mu An Xiao knew that no amount of lies would be useful.
So, she shifted her gaze to Alu Rong's location. "She's right beside you."
"Beside me?" the elder repeated. He turned to look in the opposite direction of Alu Rong and choked out, "Alu Rong, are you...?"
"Um, over here," Mu An Xiao said, pointing to the elder's other side with a helpless expression.
Then, the elder sobbed twice, before finally looking in the correct direction, his voice choked with emotion, "Alu Rong, are you angry with me?"
At that moment, Alu Rong and the elder's gazes met.
Alu Rong met the elder's tearful eyes and thought about her own rude behavior towards him on their journey, as well as what she had just said to Mu An Xiao. She suddenly regretted it.
The next second, her lip trembled, and she burst into tears.
Mu An Xiao didn't know what had happened between Alu Rong and the elder on their way here.
But judging by Alu Rong's current state, she figured Alu Rong must have regretted her actions.
Thus, looking at her fully healed wounds, Mu An Xiao's eyes darkened. "Alu Rong, do you have something to say?" Alu Rong shook her head slightly.
Mu An Xiao asked, "Do you really have nothing to say?"
Alu Rong shook her head again.
Mu An Xiao sighed softly and looked at the elder, who was now looking back at her. "She has nothing to say."
"....." The elder, upon hearing this, began to cry.
A man does not shed tears lightly.
The elder's sudden outburst of tears startled both Mu An Xiao and Feng Qi Shi. Mu An Xiao quickly looked at Feng Qi Shi, pointed at the elder, and mouthed, "Comfort him quickly!" 918
Feng Qi Shi understood Mu An Xiao's meaning at a glance, but he found it incredibly difficult to comfort the elder over something like this.
In contrast, Dagger watched the elder and Alu Rong, who couldn't hear or see each other, with a calm expression. He sighed and looked at Mu An Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. "Why don't you just let them talk to each other directly?"
Unexpectedly, the moment Dagger spoke, they stopped crying and both looked at Mu An Xiao.
Mu An Xiao tensed, glanced at Dagger, and then looked back at the elder, who was looking at her with expectant eyes. She swallowed and then looked at Alu Rong, who had just adamantly claimed she had nothing to say to the elder. "How about I act as a go-between for you two? I really don't know how to do this kind of spell."
".... " Alu Rong nodded slightly.
Just as the elder was about to agree with Mu An Xiao, Dagger said, "Just try it. You can do it."
Upon hearing this, Mu An Xiao's face froze.
Feng Qi Shi looked speechlessly at Dagger, who didn't know magic but insisted on meddling. He blinked and said, "Um, could you step outside for a moment?"
Dagger replied, "We need to believe in Mu An Xiao's abilities."
The second Dagger uttered these words, Alu Rong and the elder both fixed their gazes on Mu An Xiao's face.
".... " Mu An Xiao looked at them, feeling an inexplicable sense of suffocating pressure.
This pressure made her gaze unable to settle anywhere.
Helplessly, she had to accept reality. She pretended to be natural, looking at them both, and gave a dry laugh. "Ha... ha, don't listen to her. I really can't do it." She continued, "Besides, this is not allowed, so... I'll just help you pass messages."
She knew that what she was doing was cruel.
But due to circumstances, she had to refuse. Moreover, even if she wanted to, she couldn't!
".... " The two of them fell into a tacit silence.
Mu An Xiao cautiously observed their sudden silence, and then, thinking of the four layers of spiritual energy Alu Rong had given her, she suddenly felt guilty.
So, after some thought, she exclaimed, "I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
"What idea?" Alu Rong looked at Mu An Xiao.
Mu An Xiao pursed her lips, glancing at the excited expressions on both the elder's and Alu Rong's faces. She spread her hands and conjured the soul sword. "Hold onto it together."
Soul Sword: "...." It moved slightly to indicate disagreement.
Feng Qi Shi and Dagger looked at the soul sword, which was moving back and forth, with confused frowns.
Alu Rong said, "This is an item from the demon realm. If we touch it, we're finished."
As Alu Rong said, if they touched it, they would indeed be finished.
However, at this moment, it was the only thing that could allow them to see each other.
Of course, the prerequisite was that they must get the soul sword's consent. If the soul sword disagreed, then Alu Rong's words would come true, and they would all be finished.
However, from the current situation, it seemed the soul sword did not agree.
"Soul Sword, please be kind and let these two meet. After all, he saved me, your master." She pleaded earnestly.
The soul sword continued to move.
Seeing this, Mu An Xiao frowned. "You're not giving me face."
".... " The soul sword kept moving.
Feng Qi Shi watched the soul sword move back and forth and then looked at Mu An Xiao's almost explosive expression. He said, "Silly Mu, I am its master. If you speak like that, it definitely won't listen."
