Mu Anxiao continued, "As the saying goes, ignorance is no crime. Those families bought medicine from you, but they were unaware of its ingredients. You used their ignorance to cause the deaths of their elders." Mu Anxiao stared at Guan Mian's face. "Do you think you have any right to talk about fairness or unfairness?"
"..." Guan Mian was completely speechless.
Mu Anxiao observed Guan Mian's slightly shifting expression.
After a moment, Guan Mian said, "I admit I was a scoundrel doing these things, but," he looked up at Mu Anxiao, "how do you account for my death?"
Mu Miyan's heart tensed.
Xu Lan glanced at Mu Miyan and consciously moved aside.
Mu Anxiao, without turning back to look at Mu Miyan, said, "You don't need to worry about that."
"If you let her go free..."
"Who said I would let her go free? I just want to deal with you first, then her. However," Mu Anxiao took a deep breath, "I just discovered a problem upstairs."
"What problem?" Guan Mian asked, confused.
Mu Anxiao's lips curved into a smile. "You've offended a demon."
"What?"
"That demon is the one Mu Miyan mentioned. When you died, that demon was also present, and," Mu Anxiao pursed her lips, "she said she killed you."
"You're talking nonsense! I've never dealt with demons, so how could I have provoked one?"
"Do you know the people from the You family?" Mu Anxiao raised an eyebrow.
Upon hearing this, Guan Mian began to avoid her gaze again.
Mu Anxiao continued, "You know them, don't you? Not only do you know them, but you also tricked their eldest son with your schemes, causing him to see things invisible to ordinary people. And..."
"You don't need to say any more."
"You have quite a few methods. This makes me suspect," Mu Anxiao stared intently into Guan Mian's eyes, "that you might have accomplices."
"Accompli..." Guan Mian lowered his eyelids.
"Hush money?"
"I don't have any accomplices. I..." Guan Mian became flustered. "I don't understand what you mean by hush money."
Mu Anxiao knew that if Guan Mian admitted to anything, it would implicate a series of matters within the cultivation sect.
Furthermore, as far as she knew, everyone who left the cultivation sect had signed a guarantee. What the content of that guarantee was, she did not know.
But she knew that using this would certainly silence Guan Mian!
"Is that so? Do you have anything else to say?" Mu Anxiao asked, deliberately glancing at Mu Miyan.
This time, Guan Mian did not look at Mu Miyan and said, "I don't want to say anything. I just hope you can be fair."
"Fair?" Mu Anxiao feigned ignorance, repeating the word.
Guan Mian continued, "No matter what, that knife was stabbed into me by Mu Miyan. Therefore, I hope you will deal with her fairly. If you let her go, I will not feel at ease."
"Do you even have a heart?" Mu Anxiao glanced at Guan Mian's chest.
Guan Mian: "..." He lowered his head.
Seeing Guan Mian rendered speechless by her words, Mu Anxiao let out a cold laugh and turned to Mu Miyan, "Disciple, I said I would save you, but I didn't say I wouldn't deal with you. Developing murderous intent was your mistake."
"Master... I'll listen to you." Mu Miyan was prepared for death.
Mu Anxiao felt a pang of sadness seeing Mu Miyan's compliance. However, considering Guan Mian's desire for fairness, she thought that if she released Mu Miyan now, he would surely cause more trouble and bring unnecessary difficulties to Xu Lan.
Therefore, to prevent this from happening, she put on a stern expression and said, "Your attitude is very good."
Mu Miyan's eyes welled up with tears, and she remained silent.
Seeing Mu Miyan's state, Guan Mian couldn't help but reveal a triumphant smile.
Xu Lan glanced at Guan Mian's back, then at Mu Anxiao. "Guan Mian's case is different from Mu Miyan's. Let's take Guan Mian away first. Mu Anxiao, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned to look at Xu Lan with great respect. "Sir, I will follow your orders."
Xu Lan nodded slightly and looked at the two Yin messengers standing at the temple gate. "Take Guan Mian away."
Immediately, the two Yin messengers responded, "Yes!" and stepped forward.
Conversely, Guan Mian protested, "Why should I leave? I'm the plaintiff!" He looked at Xu Lan.
Mu Anxiao calmly watched Guan Mian's defiant expression. "Do you really want to see Mu Miyan sentenced to death so badly?"
"Of course. Why should I, who indirectly harmed others, be arrested, while she..."
"You really want to see it?" Mu Anxiao interrupted.
Guan Mian stated firmly, "Yes, I want to see it."
Mu Anxiao nodded. "Very well, since you want to see it, I will fulfill your wish." She decided to bring A Long here. However, considering the timing, she hesitated and looked at Xu Lan. "This case is rather complicated. Could you allow me to bring that demon here?"
"..." Xu Lan did not want to misjudge the case, so he nodded and said, "Yes."
"Thank you." Mu Anxiao smiled slightly and said, "Xu Lan, please take my disciple into custody first."
"Alright." Xu Lan agreed and looked at Xu Lan. "Sir, we're leaving."
Xu Lan nodded.
Mu Miyan dared not look at Mu Anxiao and lowered her head.
Shortly after, Xu Lan took Mu Miyan away.
The other two Yin messengers also took Guan Mian away.
Then, the great hall was left with only Xu Lan, the dog-headed demon, and Mu Anxiao.
"Mu Anxiao, come here for a moment," Xu Lan said, staring at the signed document.
Mu Anxiao frowned, glancing at the dog-headed demon, then walked forward and asked, "What is it?"
"The You family's relatives' signatures are missing from this," Xu Lan looked up and met Mu Anxiao's eyes. "What's going on?"
Mu Anxiao knew that Xu Lan would look for the You family's name on the document after she spoke to Guan Mian. As expected, she was right.
However, she hadn't thought of an explanation yet.
"...." She lowered her head.
Xu Lan looked at Mu Anxiao's silent expression and asked, "Why aren't you speaking?"
The dog-headed demon chuckled at Mu Anxiao's silent back. "Mu Anxiao, you tampered with it."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's anger flared. She abruptly turned her head and glared furiously at the dog-headed demon, saying, "Can you say less?"
The dog-headed demon was startled and pursed his lips.
Mu Anxiao gave the dog-headed demon a fierce look, and as she turned back, her gaze met Xu Lan's again. "..."
Xu Lan said, "It's just us here, you can tell me."
Mu Anxiao scratched her eye, reflecting on her recent actions. Her heart sank, and she stammered, "I want to ask you a question."
"Ask away." Xu Lan casually glanced at Mu Anxiao's hand.
Mu Anxiao continued, biting her lip, "Their lifespan shouldn't be this short, should it? I'm talking about the You family couple."
"You saved them," Xu Lan said, his gaze fixed on Mu Anxiao's hand.
