"He went out last night," the wolf demon said grimly.
The Yin Messenger started again, "How did I not know he went out?"
"You weren't there." The wolf demon glanced at the Yin Messenger, then peeked at the back of the fake Lin Yan, his eyes narrowing. "From what I've observed, he's not a demon, but a lone wandering spirit. However, he's currently using demonic arts, which means he has to kill to balance the demonic energy within his body. Do you understand what I mean?" He turned to the Yin Messenger.
The Yin Messenger met the wolf demon's gaze and thought for a moment. "But last night, he... didn't go out. He was lying there honestly."
"The dagger isn't with him now, so naturally, he can't kill with borrowed hands. At this point," the wolf demon smiled, "what do you think he'll do?"
"He'll do it himself," the Yin Messenger stammered, his tone cautious as he wasn't yet sure of the situation.
The wolf demon: "Yes, but he absolutely cannot commit evil using Lin Yan's body, because that would immediately draw you out," he pointed at the Yin Messenger. "So, at a time like this, he'll choose to come out and act with his own soul."
"..." The Yin Messenger took a deep breath and asked, "Why does he only target beggars?"
The wolf demon smiled: "Because beggars have no attachments. If they die, no one will care. They will inevitably be forgotten, especially dying the way they do. You won't pay much attention either. This way, he won't be locked onto."
"Who says we don't pay attention? If we didn't, why would I be here?"
"You're here willingly, no one forced you."
"You..."
"Enough with the 'you.' He will undoubtedly act tonight. Naturally, this is a good thing for Lin Yan. Of course," the wolf demon added, "you should also thank Lin Yan. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have discovered this secret either."
"You mean, Lin Yan's appearance gave him this motive."
"A younger brother suddenly appears, and there's a wound on him. If it were you, would you dare say you wouldn't be suspicious?"
"A wound."
The wolf demon: "Lin Yan died for everyone. That wound is the mark of his merit. Who would have thought," he said, "that a fake would occupy his body, forcing him to stay here."
"You know quite a lot."
"If there's anything else you want to know, you can always ask me."
"You are a demon, after all. I am only speaking to you for the sake of my mission. Once the mission is over, I will immediately sever all ties with you, lest you drag me down."
"Who wants to deal with a Yin Messenger like you, who isn't even as good as I am? Don't think too highly of yourself," the wolf demon glared fiercely at the Yin Messenger.
The Yin Messenger was silenced.
Over there.
After a moment of disarray, the fake Lin Yan looked up at Lin Yan and said firmly, "Brother, as a brother, I shouldn't speak like this. I apologize."
Lin Yan: "Brother, this is also my fault for dying so early. I don't blame you." He then looked at Mu Anxiao, "I don't know what your scheme is, but I want to say that my brother could never do anything wicked."
"..." Mu Anxiao shrugged. "Who knows."
"You..."
"Disciple," Feng Qishi, worried that Lin Yan's continued conversation might arouse suspicion from the fake Lin Yan, interrupted, "Have you had breakfast yet?"
The fake Lin Yan: "No."
"In that case, I'll treat you to a meal." Feng Qishi said, then looked at Mu Anxiao, "You should go do whatever you need to do. Don't linger here."
"You just keep protecting him." Mu Anxiao pretended to be angry and glanced at Alou beside them, "Let's go."
Alou nodded.
Following this, the fake Lin Yan carefully glanced at Alou and said nothing.
Mu Anxiao, without a word, walked past the two brothers and headed in the opposite direction.
Seeing Mu Anxiao approach, the wolf demon quickly nudged the Yin Messenger's arm and whispered, "You go follow her in a moment."
The Yin Messenger looked puzzled, "Why should I listen to you?"
"You need her to know about this, so she can cooperate with you to catch that guy. Are you stupid?" the wolf demon said impatiently.
The Yin Messenger, after letting the wolf demon's words sink in for a few seconds, finally understood. "Why are you helping me?"
"Can you stop being so talkative?" the wolf demon said, looking anxiously at Mu Anxiao, who was pointedly ignoring them and walking past.
Upon hearing this, the Yin Messenger peeked at Feng Qishi leading them away and whispered, "I'll leave that to you."
"You don't need to tell me," the wolf demon said, parting ways with the Yin Messenger and quietly following them.
After glancing at the wolf demon's retreating back, the Yin Messenger quickly turned and followed Mu Anxiao and Alou.
The dagger rested safely in Mu Anxiao's embrace, whispering, "That guy is about to make a move."
"Who?" Mu Anxiao didn't react immediately.
The dagger: "The imposter."
"..." Mu Anxiao frowned. "The dagger is with me, how can he make a move?"
"That... I don't know. But his aura contains killing intent."
"How do you know?" Mu Anxiao asked as they walked.
The dagger: "I've followed him for so many years. If I can't sense his thoughts, then I've lived in vain."
Before this, Mu Anxiao had always thought the dagger merely disliked being with the imposter and wanted a different life.
Therefore, she didn't expect the dagger to reveal any information about that guy!
So, hearing the dagger's words now, she couldn't help but feel surprised.
"If he finds out you're betraying him like this, do you think he'll let you go?"
The dagger: "Whether he does or not, I'm already with you. Furthermore, you've earned my right to fight, so my life is now in your hands."
"You saying that really puts pressure on me." Mu Anxiao said, then turned to look at Alou, who had been dispirited since leaving the Elder's place, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Alou: "That folding fan, he should take it."
"Why didn't you let me give it to him directly?"
"Ever since I became a folding fan demon, I've been with him. I thought, if we are fated, he will..." Before she could finish, Alou's heart suddenly ached.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao exclaimed in shock, "What's wrong?"
Alou: "I don't know why, but I feel an intense pain, as if something has pierced my heart." Her face had already turned deathly pale.
Seeing Alou's poor complexion, Mu Anxiao began to speculate wildly, "Could there still be demonic energy within the folding fan?"
Alou: "At the time, the folding fan demon said that if I died as a folding fan, after I left the fan, it would completely turn into an ordinary fan. So," she shook her head, "it can't be that."
