"Look, you don't even think before answering what I say," Feng Qishi said, looking at Lin Yan. "You have a heart that wants to protect your body, but why don't you think about going back?"
Lin Yan replied, "If I go back, I won't be this powerful."
Feng Qishi smiled faintly. "There are many things you can't protect just by imagining them. The only way you can protect your body is to go back. However, you're only coveting your current soul form and abandoning your body. Do you know what this is called?"
"What?"
"Forgetting your original intention. What you have today is thanks to your body. What you have..." Feng Qishi glanced at Mu Anxiao. "The desire to get revenge on her is because she caused harm to your body. Therefore, only with your body are you truly yourself. Without your body, you are just a wandering soul, a wild ghost without memory or a name."
Lin Yan remained silent.
Chen remarked, "It's truly terrifying if a person forgets themselves."
Piao sighed. "..."
Mu Anxiao had never heard Feng Qishi speak so much. Seeing his excited state now, she suddenly felt a desire to seek his guidance.
So, she asked, "Then can you analyze for me why I failed?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi turned his head to look at Mu Anxiao and smiled. "Think about it yourself."
Mu Anxiao tutted. "Why?"
Feng Qishi retorted, "I'm not your master, why should I tell you? If you want to know, go ask your master." He then turned back to Lin Yan and said, "Alright, let's go back."
Lin Yan replied, "Okay, I'll go back." As he said this, he walked towards his body.
Two quarters of an hour later.
Lin Yan woke up.
"Master," he said, opening his eyes to look at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi withdrew his hand, bent down, and personally helped Lin Yan up. "How do you feel?"
"Very good."
"That's good. Are you hungry?" Feng Qishi straightened up.
Lin Yan touched his stomach and nodded. "I am a bit hungry."
Mu Anxiao crossed her arms, watching Feng Qishi's meticulous care for Lin Yan. Then, she glanced at the food he had forced her to prepare for him on the table, and her lips curled. "He really gets treated well."
Feng Qishi replied, "If you were my disciple, I would give you such good treatment too."
"He's a human now, you can't teach him anything."
"Whose?" Feng Qishi walked gracefully to Mu Anxiao. "My disciple's body contains my spells. As long as I train him, he'll become an immortal in minutes."
Mu Anxiao pursed her lips. *I haven't even become one yet, and he can? What a joke.*
Lin Yan asked, "Master, can I really become an immortal?" He got out of bed and walked towards Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi turned to look at Lin Yan. "To be honest, your master is a genius. If you follow me, you will also become a genius within fifty years."
"Fifty years?" Lin Yan repeated, chuckling dryly. "Then I'll be an old man."
"With your master's guidance," Feng Qishi reached out and patted Lin Yan's shoulder, "I'll guarantee you won't age."
Lin Yan smiled foolishly.
In Mu Anxiao's eyes, this Lin Yan, after regaining consciousness, had changed.
He had become much more composed, which made Mu Anxiao suspect if his brain had been stimulated.
However, considering his nearly two months of soul life and his lonely companionship, it was inevitable that he would change!
What surprised her more was that Feng Qishi had actually taken Lin Yan as a disciple.
This made her unable to understand.
Chen remarked, "Feng Qishi already has a disciple, shouldn't you also take one?" She turned to look at Piao.
Piao lowered his head, looked at Chen, and then at Mu Anxiao. "I am having that very thought."
Immediately after, Chen followed Piao's gaze towards Mu Anxiao and exclaimed in surprise, "You're not going to take her, are you?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao frowned and turned to look at Chen and Piao.
Chen covered her mouth. "..."
Mu Anxiao tilted her head, stepped forward, and approached them. "What are you two talking about?"
Chen tightly pursed her lips.
Piao raised his chin. "What do you think we're talking about?"
Mu Anxiao looked up at Piao's intentionally evasive gaze, then glanced at Chen, and suddenly started laughing.
Piao looked bewildered. "What are you laughing at?"
Mu Anxiao fixed her gaze on Piao's face. "Speaking of which, do you also want to find a disciple?"
"It shows," he replied with a smile.
Mu Anxiao nodded. "Shen the Crazy found Lin Yan, who has no ability at all. Shouldn't you break through your limits too?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"You hurt her, causing her demonic energy to be greatly depleted. If you ask me," Mu Anxiao pointed at Chen, "you should take her as a disciple?"
Expectation appeared on Chen's face. "..."
Piao gasped. "I hadn't considered that."
Chen looked disappointed.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Chen. "She has done a lot of work for you in the demon realm, considering her as your employee. I think you two cooperate well, and she is quite suitable to be your disciple."
"I don't want to take a female."
"You want to take a male too?" Mu Anxiao turned sideways to look at Feng Qishi, who was sitting at the table serving food to Lin Yan. "That's not easy, Shen the Crazy was just lucky."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi raised his head to look at Mu Anxiao. "Mu the Fool, my disciple is eating. Can you not say such disgusting things?"
Mu Anxiao glared at Feng Qishi, then turned back to Piao.
Piao glanced at Chen, then looked at Mu Anxiao. "Actually, I think..." he said with a dry laugh, "you are quite suitable."
Mu Anxiao's expression twisted. "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly?" She leaned forward.
Ten years ago, Piao relentlessly pursued Mu Anxiao, wanting to marry her.
Ten years later, Piao had severed his romantic feelings for Mu Anxiao, but now he wanted her to be his disciple?
Mu Anxiao was indeed surprised, but more so... annoyed!
"I, you..."
Mu Anxiao raised her hand. "Pretend I didn't ask." She then turned and walked to the table.
Chen looked at the disappointed Piao and smiled. "Actually, I think I'm quite suitable to be your disciple."
"You are a demon, and I am a devil. I cannot take you," Piao refused, turning and walking towards the door.
Chen looked at Piao's retreating back and snorted.
Mu Anxiao sat at the table, picked up her chopsticks, and while eating, asked, "Is it delicious, disciple?"
Hearing this, Lin Yan slowly looked up at Mu Anxiao and shyly nodded. "It's delicious."
Mu Anxiao then asked, "Don't you feel sorry for me?"
Before this, Lin Yan had cursed Mu Anxiao for the rest of the night. In Mu Anxiao's opinion, her own contribution to Lin Yan's change was significant, even if she was too shy to admit it.
