Er Yi looked at the figure of Mu Anxiao leaving the inn with a confused expression. He glanced upstairs again and thought it was better to inform them.
Upstairs.
Feng Qishi stood by the window, looking down at Mu Anxiao walking in a certain direction, and frowned. Just as he was about to call out, he suddenly felt it was inappropriate.
So, he turned his head to look at Xu Lan and Xu Lan sitting at the table and said, "I'm going out for a while."
Xu Lan, worried that Feng Qishi would escape, hurriedly stood up and asked, "Where are you going?"
"To take a look," Feng Qishi said casually, and with one hand on the window, he leaped out.
Seeing this, Xu Lan's eyes widened. She quickly stood up and ran to the window, sticking her head out to look at Feng Qishi, who had landed steadily. Then, looking at Mu Anxiao's hasty departure, she shouted, "What are you two going to do?"
Downstairs.
Feng Qishi helplessly covered his ears and then looked up at Xu Lan, who was about to jump down, and said anxiously, "Don't ask anymore, just stay in the inn." After speaking, he glanced at Mu Anxiao, who had stopped not far away and turned around, and waved, "Wait for me."
Mu Anxiao had intended to act alone, but Feng Qishi caught her.
So, she clicked her tongue and shouted, "Don't follow me."
However, Feng Qishi ignored her and directly caught up, then stopped beside her and asked, "Did you feel it?"
"Feel what?"
"The demon soul."
"No."
"No?" Feng Qishi was surprised. He glanced in the direction Mu Anxiao was heading and asked, "Then where are you going?"
Mu Anxiao: "..." She smiled.
Feng Qishi's eyes widened. He deliberately turned his head to look at Xu Lan, who was still standing by the window, and said in a low voice, "You're trying to escape."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm asking you, are you trying to escape?"
"No."
"Then don't tell me you're going to find a toilet over there."
"Shen Fengzi, if you're going to follow me, then go ahead."
"If I go ahead, you have to tell me what you're doing first?"
What was she doing?
At this moment, Mu Anxiao thought, if she told Feng Qishi that the cook had gone to find the demon soul.
Feng Qishi would definitely ask, what was her basis? She couldn't answer that!
But, if she didn't say anything, given Feng Qishi's personality, he would definitely get to the bottom of it.
Helplessly, she replied perfunctorily, "I'm going to find the cook."
"Did you make her angry?"
"No," Mu Anxiao said, glancing at Xu Lan, "I think she has something to do with the demon soul, but I haven't confirmed it yet. I want to follow her demonic energy to see."
"Didn't she trust you?"
"I said her cooking was delicious."
"Her dishes were indeed delicious, although not as delicious as mine."
"Stop being narcissistic," Mu Anxiao sighed. "Those women didn't finish eating, and then she thought I was lying to her."
"Just because of that? She lost trust in you?"
"Yes, and then... she went berserk," Mu Anxiao spread her hands.
"And then you thought she was connected to the demon soul?"
"Yes."
"Did you tell those two?"
"No, I just wanted to come out and look, and then you followed me. Now," Mu Anxiao pointed at Feng Qishi, "you've delayed me."
"Let's go, I'll accompany you."
"Alright, but you're not allowed to laugh at me."
"When have I ever laughed at you?"
"Yesterday."
"..." Feng Qishi thought for a moment based on Mu Anxiao's words and said with a smile, "You're so petty."
"In any case, if you dare to laugh at me, I won't go with you next time I do anything."
"What are you talking about? I've never laughed at you about things like this. As for yesterday, if you saw your own expression, you'd laugh too. Besides, that wasn't mockery, it was just a simple laugh, you're too sensitive!"
Mu Anxiao: "..." She glared at Feng Qishi, then turned back towards the direction the cook had gone, closed her eyes, and began to sense the cook's demonic energy again.
Feng Qishi: "..." He stood quietly behind Mu Anxiao.
The Inn.
Xu Lan watched the backs of Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi, thinking about Feng Qishi's words just now, and said, "Master, they're not going to run away, are they?"
Hearing this, Xu Lan put down his teacup, looked up at the suspicious Xu Lan, and said, "How could that be?"
"But..."
As soon as Xu Lan uttered a word, Er Yi knocked on the door.
"Can I come in?"
Xu Lan glanced at Xu Lan, stepped forward, and said, "Come in."
Immediately, Er Yi pushed the door open and walked into the room. He glanced at Xu Lan and said, "I want to talk about something." As he spoke, he looked around the room.
Xu Lan asked, "What are you doing?"
"That... the one with Mu Anxiao?"
"He went downstairs," Xu Lan said, gesturing to the window.
"Downstairs?"
"Yes, is something wrong?"
"..." Er Yi glanced at the window, thinking that Feng Qishi must have gone to find Mu Anxiao.
Seeing Er Yi's dejected look, Xu Lan became impatient. "I'm asking you a question?"
Er Yi came back to his senses and said, "Mu Anxiao went to find our cook. Don't worry, I think."
"Looking for your cook?"
Xu Lan had thought that Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi had escaped together. Hearing Er Yi say this, she felt relieved.
"Yes, our cook went berserk because of me, and she went to look for me."
"Why?"
Er Yi: "..." He shook his head slightly. "It's a long story."
"Alright, then I won't listen."
Hearing this, Er Yi showed a disappointed expression. "Why?"
Xu Lan said, "We still have things to do, we don't have time to listen to your boring stories."
"It's not boring."
"It's not boring, I won't listen even if it wastes my time." Xu Lan walked to the table and sat down again.
Er Yi: "..." He walked to Xu Lan's side and sat down.
Seeing this, Xu Lan was startled. "What are you sitting down for?"
"The inn is closed, and those women have all left. I have nothing else to do," Er Yi said, taking the teacup handed to him by Xu Lan, and thanked him casually. He continued, "It's better to stay here and keep you company."
"You?" Xu Lan said dismissively. "You'd better forget it."
"I suppose the demon soul must have had a miserable life."
"By the way, didn't you not know if the demon soul was male or female before? How do you know she had a miserable life?"
"I... I don't know?" Er Yi touched the back of his head. He really didn't remember saying that.
Xu Lan: "..."
Xu Lan: "Yes, I remember you said that."
"I don't remember."
Hearing Er Yi say this, Xu Lan's mouth twitched. "Your memory is really good."
"I think it's okay," Er Yi replied honestly.
"..." Xu Lan glanced at Er Yi and said, "You really don't know where the demon soul went."
"I really don't know," Er Yi said excitedly, then took a sip of tea.
