Mu Anxiao had just caught Feng Qishi's evasive glance, so she sighed softly, "If you can tell, then you can tell, why bother being coy about it."
"Who's being coy? I'm just half-believing."
"What's the point of deceiving me?" Feng Qishi countered.
"Why would I deceive you?"
Mu Anxiao pointed at Feng Qishi's eyes. "When you said that, your eyes clearly dodged. You're not lying to me, I don't believe it."
"Mu Shazi, what's your point?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao widened her eyes. "Shen Fengzi, whether I have a point or not isn't up to you."
"You... I can't be bothered with you anymore." Feng Qishi turned his face away.
As Feng Qishi spoke, Piao revealed a look of amusement on his face, "Are you two going to quarrel?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi both turned their gaze onto Piao.
Piao gave a dry laugh, "You two keep arguing, don't look at me!"
Immediately, Mu Anxiao glared at Piao, turned to Feng Qishi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "You are indeed smarter than me. I was almost scared into believing this guy." She pointed at Piao.
Feng Qishi heard Mu Anxiao say this and no longer had any reservations. "I... I'm sorry, I saw through it earlier than you." He lowered his head.
"It's fine."
And so, under Piao's laughter, Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi made up.
At this moment, Piao felt annoyed by Mu Anxiao's words. "Who are you calling 'guy'?"
"I..."
"What's wrong with her calling you 'guy'?" Feng Qishi interrupted.
Piao had intended to tease Mu Anxiao, but with Feng Qishi's interjection, he couldn't proceed.
"Whatever. A true man doesn't fight with a woman." Piao.
Then, Mu Anxiao asked, "Piao, how did you know about me and Wan Sha?"
Piao said, "I just investigated a little, and I found out."
Indeed, being a great demon was different. If he wanted to know something, he could find out instantly. However, even so, Mu Anxiao still felt confused about some things.
"Since you found out, why didn't you tell Wan Sha?"
"She didn't ask me, she asked you. Besides, I only investigated recently. Even if I wanted to, I'd have to beat you to it." Piao.
Mu Anxiao narrowed her eyes. "You mean, if I hadn't beaten you to it, you would have gone?"
"Not necessarily." Piao shifted his gaze.
Feng Qishi said, "He originally intended to go, but as soon as he heard that Wan Sha had been subjected to that... Memory-Dissolving Technique, he gave up."
"..." Piao shifted his gaze to Feng Qishi's face.
Feng Qishi smiled. "It seems I hit the mark."
"I just didn't want to trouble myself." Piao.
Hearing Piao's words, Mu Anxiao thought about Piao's situation. She thought that no one would want to get involved in this mess! But then, she became a little confused. If he didn't want to get involved, why did he tell her he could break the technique?
"If you don't want to trouble yourself, why did you tell me you could break the Memory-Dissolving Technique?" she asked.
"Originally, I thought you could find a solution. I didn't expect..." Piao looked around. "Since you've come all the way here seeking peace, I'm quite impressed."
"It's because of that that you told me you could break it."
Piao smiled. "Yes, but from now on, it's all up to you."
Listening to Piao's words, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but think of his relationship with the Vine Spirit.
So, she sneered, "I'm really curious, if that Vine Spirit fellow knew you were helping me, would he die of anger?"
"Who knows." Piao shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Feng Qishi. "When you have time, I'll treat you to tea."
"Are you leaving already?" Feng Qishi asked.
Piao raised his eyebrows. "Brother Shen, you can't bear to see me go?"
"Not really. Go ahead."
"Don't you think you'd be safer with me around?" xxs壹贰
Mu Anxiao asked, "You want to stay and follow us, don't you?"
"Not really. I just thought that if I left, I'd want to help Wan Sha. But seeing you two like this, you don't need me. If that's the case, then," Piao took a step back as if acting out a scene, "I'll leave first."
If Piao helped Wan Sha, Mu Anxiao's future actions would become infinitely more difficult. So, for her own benefit, she called out, "Stop," just as Piao was about to turn away.
Piao stopped in his tracks.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's choice in astonishment and asked, "You want him to follow us?"
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi, stepped forward to Piao, and said, "I need you."
"I don't want you, I want him." Piao pointed at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi blinked, looked at the back of Mu Anxiao's head, and forced a smile. "I need you, Brother Piao."
The moment Feng Qishi said this, Piao grinned. "I'll definitely help you two." Saying this, he walked around Mu Anxiao to Feng Qishi and raised his hand.
Feng Qishi reluctantly raised his hand and high-fived Piao.
Mu Anxiao watched the two men getting along so well from the side and sighed helplessly.
Not long after, Mu Anxiao, carrying various foods and toys in her arms, followed behind Piao and Feng Qishi, asking, "Piao, what do you mean by this?"
Piao, with his arm around Feng Qishi's shoulders, paid no attention to Mu Anxiao.
"..."
Feng Qishi said, "She's talking to you."
Hearing this, Piao pretended to react, stopped, removed his arm from Feng Qishi's shoulder, turned to Mu Anxiao, and said, "What did you want to say to me?"
"I," Mu Anxiao lowered her head and glanced at the heavy items in her arms, "what do you mean by this?"
Piao said, "I bought all of this for Brother Shen. Hold it properly."
"You..."
As Mu Anxiao uttered just one word, Piao stepped forward, leaned down, and whispered, "Wan Sha just kicked you out not long ago. If you go now, you probably won't be welcomed. So, I advise you to follow me, hold these things, and don't talk. I have my own ideas."
Mu Anxiao: "..."
Seeing Mu Anxiao speechless, Piao curled his lips upwards, returned to Feng Qishi's side, and asked knowingly, "Brother Shen, what's wrong with you?"
Feng Qishi shifted his gaze from Mu Anxiao's face to Piao and asked, "What did she say to you?"
Piao replied, "She said I was bullying her."
"...." Feng Qishi blinked, turned, and walked directly in front of Mu Anxiao. "Give it to me."
From the moment Piao started giving endless orders to Mu Anxiao, Feng Qishi had been restraining himself.
It was just that Piao was too enthusiastic, so he hadn't felt it was appropriate to interrupt. Now, he had endured enough. He didn't want to see Mu Anxiao laboring anymore.
Mu Anxiao snapped back to attention and looked up at Feng Qishi. After a pause, she said, "No need, I can carry it."
