Xie Xin: "He really stayed in the rafters all night. He didn't lie."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi turned to Xie Xin, "You mean Lin Yan has a problem?"
Xie Xin also saw the importance of the fake Lin Yan in Feng Qishi's heart. As soon as he asked her this, she chose to remain silent!
Seeing Xie Xin's silence, Feng Qishi frowned, "Aren't you Lin Yan's friend? Do you also choose not to trust him?"
Listening to Feng Qishi, Xie Xin thought of how the fake Lin Yan pushed everything away to protect himself. She raised her head, "Right now, I only trust Mu Anxiao."
"You..." Feng Qishi wanted to say something but stopped, lost in thought.
The woods.
Mu Anxiao endured the pain of her wound tearing and looked helplessly at the Yin messenger who had been hesitating for a long time, asking, "I, what are you looking for?" After speaking, she took a sharp breath.
Yin messenger: "Strange, where is the entrance?" He straightened up, turned to Mu Anxiao, and asked, "Do you know where the entrance is?"
"This joke isn't funny," Mu Anxiao forced a smile.
Yin messenger: "I'm not joking, I really..." He glanced at the dagger glaring at him, "I really don't remember."
Mu Anxiao: "Do you remember how you got here?"
"I remember, but," the Yin messenger looked around, turned sideways to the tree behind him, "I remember it was there, but now it's gone."
"..."
"Help me think."
"Why should I help you?" Mu Anxiao said disdainfully, "You don't trust me, and you want me to help you? You must be dreaming!"
"Mu Anxiao, taking you down there will be beneficial to you..."
"What benefits are there? If I go down, I'm destined to be punished, suffer, and face hardship. Anyway, you take your time to look, I'll wait." Mu Anxiao tugged at the silver rope, "Sit down."
Dagger: "..." She looked unhappy and sat down with Mu Anxiao.
The Yin messenger pouted and continued to search for the entrance to the underworld.
Mu Anxiao sat cross-legged, looking down at the handkerchief stained with blood, and gasped. She turned to the dagger staring at her and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"
"Let me go, and I'll help you."
"No need."
"I'm serious."
"If you had nothing to do with me, you wouldn't be like this," Mu Anxiao chuckled, "A dagger that can still protect itself."
"What do you mean?"
"Although your blade is stained with a lot of blood, because your original form was just a dagger manipulated by a bad person, you'll be treated leniently below. Who knew you insisted on taking all the blame? There's nothing I can do to help you."
"I said I'd help you, and you're talking about this, it's probably meaningless."
"As long as I don't try to escape, nothing will happen. But if I try to escape, trouble will come. I understand this principle," Mu Anxiao gently clenched her injured hand, "better than you."
"..." The dagger stared at Mu Anxiao's hand and frowned slightly, "If you don't treat your hand, it will really be crippled."
Mu Anxiao: "..." She glanced at the dagger.
Dagger: "As long as you let me go, I'll help you treat it."
"No need."
"You..."
"Your master can't wait any longer," Mu Anxiao sniffed the air and looked up, meeting the gaze of the fake Lin Yan standing on the tree.
Seeing this, the fake Lin Yan was startled and quickly flew away.
Mu Anxiao: "Your master is the fake Lin Yan." Saying this, she turned to the dagger.
The dagger's eyes sank. It glanced in the direction the fake Lin Yan had flown, then turned back to Mu Anxiao and blurted out, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Admitted," Mu Anxiao's lips curved into a smile, then her face turned cold. "You've been following your master for a long time, haven't you?"
"..." The dagger shifted its gaze.
"You don't want to leave?"
"You won't let me go anyway."
"As long as you honestly tell me, I'll..." Mu Anxiao deliberately loosened the silver rope slightly, "let you go."
"Really?"
"Really." Mu Anxiao nodded slightly, enduring the pain.
"Ask away."
"Is your master the fake Lin Yan?"
"No."
"Did the fake Lin Yan instruct you to do all this?"
"No."
"Did you and the fake Lin Yan know each other long ago?"
"No."
No means yes, and not knowing means knowing.
Every reply from the dagger was a clue to Mu Anxiao.
Of course, the moment she saw the fake Lin Yan, she had already understood everything.
What she was doing now was undoubtedly trying to use herself to make Feng Qishi wake up and accept the reality that Lin Yan was no longer alive.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to go down and help the wolf demon find Gou Tou, so that they would apologize to her.
"Very good," she nodded slightly, rotated her upper body, and placed her injured hand directly on the dagger's back. "You can go now." As she spoke, her hand trembled as she untied the silver rope.
The dagger looked down at the beads of sweat on Mu Anxiao's forehead and her pale face, "I'll..."
"No need," Mu Anxiao retracted the silver rope, turned her upper body, leaned against the tree, and gasped for a few breaths, "You can go."
Dagger: "..." She stood up, glanced at the Yin messenger with his back to them, turned halfway around, and left.
Mu Anxiao watched the beam of light left by the dagger, gasped for several breaths, and continued to endure the pain.
At the same time, the wolf demon appeared beside Mu Anxiao, "Are you alright?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's body stiffened. She turned to the wolf demon squatting beside her and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I sent Xie Xin back."
"You can't..."
"Where's the dagger?"
"I let her go."
"Let her go?" The wolf demon was shocked and looked down at Mu Anxiao's injured hand, "Letting her go won't do you any good."
"I know," Mu Anxiao nodded, deliberately focusing her gaze on her wound, "Only this way can I unleash my abilities without restraint."
"You're really something," the wolf demon said, looking up at the Yin messenger not far away, "Do you want to go?"
"No."
However, the wolf demon knew Mu Anxiao would be like this, so he had a sudden idea and said, "I have a way."
"What are you doing?"
Immediately, the wolf demon stood up and snapped his fingers, transforming into the appearance of the dagger.
Mu Anxiao looked at the wolf demon helplessly and asked, "What are you going to do?"
The wolf demon crouched down, "The dagger is a demon, and I am also a demon. That fool won't be able to tell the difference. I'll accompany you down and look for Gou Tou, and get my demon core back."
"I'll help you..."
"You asked me to follow you," the wolf demon interrupted.
As the wolf demon said, those words were indeed Mu Anxiao's. Seeing the wolf demon's confident look, she had nothing more to say, "..."
