Along lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, then quickly turned and caught up with Mu Anxiao, asking, "Don't you have important things to do right now? Why are you still bothering with them?"
Mu Anxiao said as she walked, "This incident happened too suddenly. I have to see what's going on."
"For..."
"Stop asking why, let's go," Mu Anxiao interrupted and started to run.
Along paused for a moment, then chased after her.
The tavern.
Feng Qishi and the fake Lin Yan sat facing each other at a table. Lin Yan sat beside the fake Lin Yan, glancing left and right, then at the very greasy stir-fried dishes on the table. He said, "Eating this so early in the morning, isn't it a bit too greasy?"
Feng Qishi replied, "What's so greasy about it?" As he spoke, he passed his chopsticks to the fake Lin Yan opposite him.
The fake Lin Yan took the chopsticks, said, "Thank you," and began to eat.
Lin Yan cautiously glanced at the absent-minded fake Lin Yan. Just as he was about to speak, a woman suddenly stopped behind him and said in a voice he could hear, "Ghost." Then she fixed her gaze on the hole behind him.
Hearing this, Lin Yan was startled. He turned to look at the woman staring at him, his eyes slowly widening. "..."
Without turning his head, the fake Lin Yan patted Lin Yan's arm and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"She's looking at me," Lin Yan said, staring directly at the woman in front of him who remained silent.
After Lin Yan said this, the woman quickly turned and ran away.
Lin Yan was taken aback. He watched the woman run away, then looked at the other people in the tavern, thinking, "That woman must be crazy. It has to be."
At the same time, the fake Lin Yan ignored Lin Yan. Instead, he looked up at Feng Qishi opposite him, who was staring at him and hadn't noticed the woman, and asked, "Master, why are you looking at me?"
"Disciple, how did you see your younger brother?" Feng Qishi calmly pointed at Lin Yan.
The fake Lin Yan's eyes darted slightly and he said, "You set up... in the dilapidated temple..."
"I didn't set up any magic formations here. By rights, once you leave the dilapidated temple, you should no longer be able to see anything. But now... you can see him."
"..." To prevent Feng Qishi from suspecting him, the fake Lin Yan feigned composure and asked, "Master, what... do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything, I'm just curious how you can see him?"
The fake Lin Yan said, "Didn't you help me see him?" He put on a confused expression.
Feng Qishi listened to the fake Lin Yan's calm retort and looked at the guiltless expression on his face. He frowned. "..."
Meanwhile, the young man who had fled from Mu Anxiao stumbled in. "Waiter, bring me some wine." Before the waiter could respond, he unintentionally looked over at Lin Yan.
His eyes widened in shock, and he pointed at Lin Yan, shouting loudly, "Ghost, he's not human, not human."
Seeing this, Lin Yan stood up.
However, the people who hadn't noticed them before all cried out the moment Lin Yan stood up.
Hearing the sharp shouts, Feng Qishi covered his ears, then looked at Lin Yan, who was stunned by the commotion, and said, "Don't be afraid." He then stood up and turned to face the crowd, asking with feigned ignorance, "You can see him?" He pointed at Lin Yan.
The young man cried, "Don't kill me." Trembling, he slowly knelt on the spot.
Then, the others didn't leave. Instead, they began to discuss Lin Yan.
An uncle said, "There's a hole in his stomach."
"Ah..." another woman screamed, but she didn't run away. Xuan Shu Literature Network.
"It's a ghost, he must be a ghost. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a hole in his stomach."
"Yes, a ghost, a ghost."
"He must be a demon soul."
"Definitely."
Feng Qishi scanned the people who, emboldened by his presence, were intentionally targeting Lin Yan. He sighed, and then, hearing their nonsensical words, he couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Be quiet!"
The next second, they all fell silent.
Feng Qishi looked at the people in front of him, all ready to flee at any moment, and asked, "Are you afraid of him?"
Lin Yan looked helplessly at the people who were speaking boldly, and lowered his head.
The fake Lin Yan glanced at Lin Yan, said nothing, and made no move to comfort him.
In short, his demeanor was one of indifference.
Lin Yan didn't expect the fake Lin Yan to help him. In his opinion, it was enough if the fake Lin Yan didn't harm him.
Of course, at this moment, he was truly touched by Feng Qishi.
The next second after Feng Qishi asked the question, the people shifted their gaze back to Lin Yan's face. Then, an old man stepped forward and said, "Isn't this Lin Yan?"
Hearing this, the fake Lin Yan excitedly said, "He is my younger brother."
Upon hearing this, the old man looked at the fake Lin Yan, rubbed his cloudy eyes, and said, "The Lin family went bankrupt, leaving only Lin Yan. How can he have a brother?"
Lin Yan's heart tightened upon hearing the old man's words.
But, for the sake of the mission, he had no choice but to play along. "My name is Lin Jue. I died early, so... I'm not Lin Yan. Sir, you've mistaken me."
"You died..." the old man repeated, looked at Lin Yan's stomach, and stumbled back three steps in fright, speechless.
An old woman beside the old man forcefully patted his shoulder and said, "Don't talk to him, you'll shorten your lifespan."
The old man: "..." He was scared.
Lin Yan looked at the old man's fearful expression and suddenly felt like a plague god.
At this moment, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and hide.
But he didn't have that ability.
Helpless, he could only lower his head and keep quiet.
After Lin Yan spoke up for him, the fake Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted Lin Yan's shoulder, speaking for him, "My younger brother is a soul, don't be afraid, everyone."
"Who wouldn't be afraid when they see a ghost? You too. If your brother is a ghost, why bring him out instead of keeping him safely at home?" The young man stood up, gaining confidence from the crowd, and became arrogant.
The fake Lin Yan said, "I didn't expect you to see him..." He stopped speaking halfway and feigned distress, "I also didn't expect myself to see him." Feng Qishi listened to their discussion and fell into thought.
Outside the tavern.
After witnessing the entire incident, Mu Anxiao calmly surveyed the people in the tavern who were feigning fear and intentionally bullying Lin Yan, using Feng Qishi's presence as an excuse. She thought, "These people are truly like dogs that bully others when their master is present!"
Thinking this, she turned to Alon standing behind her and said, "You don't need to come in with me."
"No, I'll go with you..."
"No, go and hide behind that water缸 and wait for me," Mu Anxiao interrupted, pointing to the water缸 by the wall.
