Seeing Mu Anxiao’s shoulders tremble slightly and Shen Xian’s questioning gaze, Feng Qishi felt a strange nervousness for her.
However, based on her deliberate disregard for him earlier and her subsequent rescue, he believed she must have a plan of her own, so he decided not to intervene.
Still, the only thing puzzling him was why there was demonic energy on her.
“Strange?” he muttered.
A Xia glanced at Feng Qishi but said nothing.
Shen Xian knew precisely how many years he had been imprisoned and how many years Gu An had been dead.
Although he had indeed been overcome by sentiment, the moment he looked up, he sensed that the person before him was not Gu An!
Yet, before leading Feng Qishi into the ghost cave, he had unexpectedly seen a shadow of Gu An on Mu Anxiao. At the time, after hearing her name, he had not thought much of it.
Now, her return in this manner made him suspicious.
“You are Mu Anxiao!” he stated coldly.
Mu Anxiao thought to herself, the mission had failed.
Subsequently, she no longer bothered to pretend. “You’ve seen through me.”
“Are you here to save him?” Shen Xian gestured towards Feng Qishi.
The lantern had promised that if Mu Anxiao could impersonate Gu An without being discovered, she would live.
Before the mission had even begun, she had already been exposed by this Shen Xian.
It seemed her life was at its end.
Immediately, the sachet conveyed through thought, “Mu Anxiao, your mission is to guide him to find his conscience. Don’t be discouraged; I know you don’t want to die.”
Indeed, Mu Anxiao did not want to die, and she was even more unwilling to die like this.
The next moment, she tried her best to recall the events in the book where Gu An and Shen Xian were together. She lifted her head and said, “I’m not here to save him, I’m here to find you.”
“Why are you looking for me?”
“Of course I’m looking for you for a reason. Moreover, we’ve already embraced, so you can’t kill me based on that alone.”
“……” Shen Xian was too lazy to continue this conversation and asked, “You know Gu An?”
“I do. Your wife.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Xian inexplicably closed his eyes. “You and she…”
“I know, I don’t look anything like her. I’m sorry, I overestimated myself trying to impersonate her to find you. You must be very angry!” Mu Anxiao interrupted.
Shen Xian opened his eyes. “No, you look exactly like her.”
Mu Anxiao: “……”
Exactly alike?
Before the mission began, Mu Anxiao had specifically asked the lantern what Gu An looked like.
At that time, the lantern had said she looked nothing like Gu An.
After hearing the lantern’s words, she had completely lost confidence, even envisioning various tragic scenarios of her discovery.
Who would have thought that Shen Xian would now say she looked exactly like Gu An?
At this moment, she suddenly doubted if the lantern had ever even seen Gu An.
Seeing Mu Anxiao’s silence, Shen Xian said, “Since it’s you, the wedding will proceed as planned.”
“A wedding? Even though I’m here, you still want to marry Chen?”
“You are not the girl Feng Qishi likes.”
In Mu Anxiao’s imagination, if she looked exactly like Gu An, Shen Xian would surely give up marrying Chen upon seeing her. Then, she would have saved Chen and helped Feng Qishi, achieving two goals with one action.
In reality, Shen Xian’s actions were completely off script, which embarrassed her.
“I’m someone who looks exactly like your former wife… Can’t you take a liking to me?” she struggled.
Shen Xian replied, “Even if you look like her, you are not her.”
“But…”
Mu Anxiao uttered a single syllable, and the sachet instantly broke free from its sash and floated slowly before Shen Xian. “She is Gu An’s reincarnation!”
“Is it you?” Shen Xian’s eyes widened.
The sachet explained, “At first, I only thought she looked like my master. But after she gave me her blood, I realized she is my master’s reincarnation. If you don’t believe me,” she shook her head, “there’s nothing I can do.”
“You are the sachet?” Shen Xian asked.
The sachet nodded. “Yes.”
Hearing Shen Xian’s question, Mu Anxiao’s mouth twitched. She then glanced at the sachet and said, “Isn’t this the sachet? Do you even need to ask?”
Upon hearing this, the sachet turned to Mu Anxiao. “My name is Sachet, and my true form is Lantern. In your past life, you were my master, and also…” she paused, “his wife.”
Wife? Past master? Reincarnation?
Her memories flashed back. Before coming here, Mu Anxiao had asked her what to do if Shen Xian discovered her.
At that time, the sachet had said she had a way!
So Mu Anxiao had been curious about her method. Now, hearing this, Mu Anxiao truly could not accept this reality, especially the thought that her past life was Shen Xian’s wife, which she found terrifying!
“No way!” Mu Anxiao glanced at Shen Xian.
“I apologize for not explaining it clearly to you,” the sachet said, instantly transforming into a woman in red.
Mu Anxiao looked at the sachet’s appearance, then at Shen Xian, and took half a step back.
For decades, Shen Xian had forgotten Gu An’s appearance. Every time he tried to recall her, her face was blurry.
Perhaps it was due to his long confinement, but whenever he tried hard to remember her face, he would get a headache!
But just now, the moment he closed his eyes, Gu An’s face was no longer blurry!
Furthermore, his headache was gone?
He was curious about this but still didn’t believe Mu Anxiao had any connection to Gu An. He felt they simply looked alike!
“Is she truly Gu An’s reincarnation?” he asked in disbelief.
The sachet stated firmly, “Yes!”
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao’s heart began to race.
Subsequently, the demonic figures one by one approached Mu Anxiao. After clearly seeing her face, one of the demonic figures looked at Shen Xian and said, “Congratulations, congratulations! Your wife has returned.”
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao hurriedly corrected, “Don’t spout nonsense, I…”
Shen Xian interrupted, “Alright, everyone, let’s go drink. After drinking, let’s have some fun. Today, I am happy.” As he spoke, he shifted his gaze to Mu Anxiao’s face.
Mu Anxiao’s mouth twitched.
Gu Xiao remained standing by the pillar, looking at Mu Anxiao from afar and smiling. “Excellent, she’s not dead.”
“She probably won’t be able to leave here easily,” Pia said.
Gu Xiao asked, “Why?”
“Didn’t you hear? She’s the reincarnation of Gu An, Shen Xian’s wife. If she can leave, she’d be a ghost.”
“It’s Madam,” the girl said excitedly.
Pia glanced at the girl and sneered.
Feng Qishi stared at Shen Xian’s delighted expression and Mu Anxiao’s helpless back, clenching his fists.
A Xia asked, “What are you doing?” She lowered her head, staring at Feng Qishi’s fists.
Feng Qishi replied, “Nothing.” As he spoke, he strode towards Mu Anxiao.
One of the demonic figures asked, “Then, are you still having the wedding?”
