However, the First Yin Messenger thought the dagger and Mu Anxiao had a poor relationship. Now, seeing this, he suddenly regretted letting them go.
Thus, he pointed at the dagger awkwardly and looked at Mu Anxiao, "Keep hold of her."
"She's not a dog, your words are quite amusing."
"You..." The First Yin Messenger uttered a word, and then, inadvertently looking at the dagger, who was glaring at him, said, "Hold her tight." Saying that, he turned his back.
Mu Anxiao turned her head to look at the restless dagger beside her, and she said coldly, "If you dare to move, this silver rope will not let you off."
Upon hearing this, the dagger immediately shifted its gaze back to Mu Anxiao's face, then looked down at the rag on the ground. She couldn't help but regret giving Mu Anxiao the freedom to speak.
Mu Anxiao: "I am your master, you must listen to me."
"..." The dagger glared at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao glared at the dagger, then turned to look at the Yin Messenger with his back to them, saying, "What are you thinking about?"
Upon hearing this, the First Yin Messenger turned around and looked at Mu Anxiao, saying, "I am thinking, what exactly are you?"
"..." Mu Anxiao was asked this by the Yin Messenger and didn't know what to say.
First Yin Messenger: "I'm asking you."
"What do you think I am?"
"Not human."
"If I'm not human, why did you capture me?"
"You killed them."
"..." Mu Anxiao did not want to admit this unfounded crime, so she turned to look at the dagger and said, "You know clearly, it wasn't me, it was her."
"I am just the dagger," the dagger said excitedly.
Mu Anxiao: "Once you cultivate into a demon, you gain your own thoughts. So," she looked coldly at the dagger, "you can take responsibility for all of this."
"You ordered me to do it."
"I went to bed early yesterday. You went out on your own. What does it have to do with me?" Mu Anxiao deliberately tried to protect herself.
At the same time, the First Yin Messenger glanced at both Mu Anxiao and the dagger and said, "You two, shut up."
Upon hearing this, both of them fell silent and turned to look at the First Yin Messenger in unison.
Immediately, the First Yin Messenger took two steps forward and said, "Mu Anxiao, you are human."
"I am not human."
"You haven't ascended to immortality yet, so you are considered..."
"Stop, I am a minor immortal."
"I don't care, you are human." The First Yin Messenger was too lazy to argue with Mu Anxiao and began to stick to his own opinion.
Mu Anxiao looked at the First Yin Messenger's confident expression, then glanced at the dagger, and said, "What about her?"
"Her," the Yin Messenger looked at the dagger, hesitated, and said, "Once your crimes are determined, I will have the Yin Messengers over there apprehend her. But before that, she will receive the same punishment as you."
"Good," Mu Anxiao nodded.
The dagger was shocked, "Why should I receive the same punishment as her? It's unfair."
First Yin Messenger: "She is your master, so you should be treated the same as her."
Mu Anxiao nodded, "I agree with what you said." Saying this, she suddenly felt a little pleased.
However, this was not the outcome the dagger wanted. If she remembered correctly, the master who instructed her to do this had said that the Yin Messengers would release her as soon as they saw she was a demon soul.
Ultimately, it would have nothing to do with her.
Who would have thought that after going through all this, she would end up with the same fate as Mu Anxiao.
Thinking this, she was filled with resentment, but due to the restraint of the silver rope, she dared not act rashly.
Mu Anxiao had initially worried that the First Yin Messenger would blame everything on her, but now she was somewhat relieved.
Ruined Temple.
The wolf demon, carrying Xie Xin, stopped in front of the ruined temple. The wolf demon shouted, "Feng Qishi, something is wrong."
At the table, Feng Qishi heard the wolf demon's shouts and indifferently shifted his gaze from the book. He thought, that foolish Mu, she's got such little ability.
Thinking this, he put away the book, stood up, walked around the chair, and gracefully approached the door. He glanced at the wolf demon, then at Xie Xin on his back, and asked, "Where is foolish Mu?"
"She was captured."
"Captured?" Feng Qishi looked surprised.
The wolf demon: "By Yin Messengers." He said, glancing at the fake Lin Yan sitting at the table, who was still looking in their direction, and asked, "Can I bring her inside?"
"Enter." Feng Qishi uttered a word, moved aside, and no longer mentioned Mu Anxiao.
The fake Lin Yan's brow furrowed slightly the moment Feng Qishi allowed them in.
The next moment, the wolf demon placed the unconscious Xie Xin on the bed, then walked to the table, casually picked up the cup filled with water, and took a sip. He asked, looking at the fake Lin Yan as he put the cup down, "Can you go out for a moment?"
Feng Qishi: "On what grounds are you asking my disciple to leave?"
"I'm not asking him to leave." The wolf demon knew that Feng Qishi's mind was entirely on the fake Lin Yan, and that the fake Lin Yan's status in Feng Qishi's heart even surpassed Mu Anxiao's.
Therefore, without provoking Feng Qishi, he explained, "I'm hungry, but I'm not very familiar with the roads here, so, please, would you mind?" He smiled at the fake Lin Yan.
Seeing this, the fake Lin Yan stood up and said, "Master, I'll go." As he said this, he thought that Mu Anxiao hadn't been taken away yet, and it would be a good opportunity to check on her.
"Then you go."
"I want sesame cakes," the wolf demon added.
Fake Lin Yan: "..." He nodded slightly, glanced at Feng Qishi, and left.
Then, only the three of them remained.
After the fake Lin Yan left, Xie Xin opened her eyes, got out of bed, walked to the wolf demon's side, and sat down.
Feng Qishi was startled to see Xie Xin awake, "You were faking it."
Xie Xin: "I wasn't." She said, looking at the wolf demon who was staring at her, and put on a shy expression, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Can you not stand so close to me?" the wolf demon said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xin hugged the wolf demon's arm and said, "No, you carried me."
"..." The wolf demon just stared coldly at Xie Xin.
Subsequently, Xie Xin felt the anger in the wolf demon's eyes, then let go of his arm, stood up, walked a few steps aside, and sat down opposite Feng Qishi, saying, "I was just dizzy from the demonic energy."
"Dizzy?"
The wolf demon glanced at Xie Xin and looked at Feng Qishi, "That dagger is a monster."
"Isn't it a dagger from the demon realm?"
"Who told you that?" Hearing Feng Qishi's words, the wolf demon inexplicably understood why he had been so confident in saying those things.
"I guessed."
"Too bad," the wolf demon smiled, "you guessed wrong. It's a dagger that has achieved sentience."
"But all its actions are the same as a demon realm dagger."
"She was faking it."
Hearing the wolf demon's words, Feng Qishi's heart sank, and he said, "You mean, I was deceived."
"Yes."
"...." Feng Qishi fell silent, truly unable to accept the reality and slightly lowered his gaze.
From the moment he entered until now, Feng Qishi had remained silent about Mu Anxiao, which surprised the wolf demon.
So, he asked, "Um, why aren't you concerned about Mu Anxiao?"
