"That's right, what are you saying?" Ma Yuan chimed in.
Mu An Xiao shot Ma Yuan an embarrassed glance and said, "Anyway, I'm not from the Xiuxianmen. I am myself. In other words, I'm an independent faction, not related to anyone or any place."
The moment she said this, Mu An Xiao felt one thing: they would surely be speechless!
However, the reality was not as she imagined.
The first man in white smiled and said, "But in reality, your attainment of immortality is related to our Xiuxianmen."
Now, Mu An Xiao understood. This was a trap they had set for her, waiting for her to fall into it.
So, to avoid continuing this boring topic, she decided not to speak anymore.
"..."
Everyone followed Mu An Xiao into silence.
"..."
Ma Yuan looked left and right at Mu An Xiao and his fellow disciples, then at the untouched food on the table. A ripple went through his heart. He put down his chopsticks, his hands feeling restless.
A few minutes later...
Ma Yuan couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere any longer. He deliberately nodded and sneezed, saying, "Can't we talk after we finish eating? The food is getting cold."
"..."
The silence remained unbroken.
Ma Yuan took a deep breath, glancing at his fellow disciples who also looked ready to eat. "Alright, alright, if you don't want to admit it, so be it. It's no fun starving."
Mu An Xiao had been waiting for one of them to say this. Hearing it, she relaxed and picked up her chopsticks, saying, "Okay, let's eat."
The man in white's eyes widened.
The other disciples cautiously glanced at the man in white before picking up their chopsticks and starting to eat.
The man in white felt completely disgraced. However, he thought that speaking up at this moment would only make him lose face in front of Mu An Xiao. With no other choice, he could only eat like the others!
In the marketplace, Hei Feng had visited many doctors, but none could heal disfigurement.
Wandering dejectedly through the streets, he thought of Mu An Xiao's persistence and the predicament of the wolf demon. He stopped in the middle of the road, filled with distress.
At that moment, Zhang Yan walked towards him.
Hei Feng had never met Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan had heard of him and seen him, so he recognized him at a glance.
"You are Hei Feng." Zhang Yan blocked Hei Feng's path.
Hei Feng looked directly at Zhang Yan, who was dressed in a white and blue robe, then glanced up at the sky and asked, "You know me?"
"I know you, but you don't know me." Zhang Yan put on an air of an elder, but his youthful face... couldn't carry the aura of a boss he had in modern times.
Hei Feng said, "You know me? Where do you know me from?"
Seeing Hei Feng's indifferent gaze, Zhang Yan couldn't help but frown and say, "I'm from above."
The moment Zhang Yan said "above," Hei Feng's expression changed. He grinned and said, "Oh, you're a divine being."
"How did you become a soul spirit?" Zhang Yan straightened his back and asked, lifting his chin.
The process of becoming a soul spirit was something Hei Feng least wanted to mention. Now, with Zhang Yan bringing it up, he felt a surge of embarrassment.
"..."
Seeing Hei Feng remain silent, Zhang Yan looked around and asked, "Was it because of the vine demon?"
Hei Feng's eyes lit up. "How did you know?"
"To be frank, I'm from that world," Zhang Yan said, gesturing vaguely in a direction. "I came from there."
"That world," Hei Feng repeated, looking in the direction Zhang Yan was pointing. "Which direction is that?"
This was exactly the reaction Zhang Yan wanted. He lowered his hand, maintaining his elder-like demeanor, and said, "Do you know the current world?"
"Yes."
"Good, that's right. I came from there."
"You... came from there? Do you know Mu An Xiao?"
"Not only do I know her, but I'm also Mu An Xiao's master." After saying this, Zhang Yan felt it was not quite right and re-explained, "No, I haven't truly become Mu An Xiao's master yet, but soon, she will be my disciple. Don't worry, she will definitely agree."
After Zhang Yan finished speaking, Hei Feng's face froze.
"You're looking for Mu An Xiao!"
"Yes, do you know where she is?" Zhang Yan asked.
Hei Feng replied, "I do, but you have to help me solve a problem first."
Zhang Yan asked, "What problem?"
"You know the wolf demon, right?" Zhang Yan stammered.
"Yes."
"You know?"
Zhang Yan calmly looked at Hei Feng's surprised expression and nodded slightly. "Yes, he returned with Mu An Xiao, using Hu Yuan's body."
"Who is Hu Yuan?"
Initially, Zhang Yan thought Hei Feng knew Hu Yuan. Seeing his confused expression now, Zhang Yan decided it wasn't worth the effort to explain.
"Someone you don't know."
If it was someone he didn't know, then it wasn't important. So, Hei Feng didn't pursue the matter further. He said, "It's good that you know. He's been harmed by a demon soul and disfigured. Can you heal him?"
"Yes."
"You can? That's wonderful!" Hei Feng smiled.
At this moment, Zhang Yan couldn't understand why Hei Feng was smiling, so he remained silent.
"..."
After a long stalemate, Hei Feng couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you asking me anymore?"
"Asking me what?"
"Asking why I want you to heal the wolf demon?"
Zhang Yan smiled. "You are a soul spirit, and you want me to help heal a monster. That monster must have significant value, so there's nothing to ask."
A divine being is truly a divine being. After Zhang Yan said this, Hei Feng's favorable impression of him grew even higher.
"Then please."
Zhang Yan nodded slightly and started walking.
As they walked, Zhang Yan glanced at the beads of sweat on Hei Feng's forehead and asked, "It seems you've been looking for a lot of people?"
"Yes, I've seen so many doctors, and they all said they couldn't heal him. Just when I was feeling troubled, you appeared." Hei Feng said, raising his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"How could a mortal doctor heal such an injury?"
"The wolf demon told me to look for one."
"That's just the wolf demon talking nonsense."
Originally, Hei Feng hadn't thought much of it. Now, with Zhang Yan's reminder, he recalled the wolf demon's erratic mental state at the time and realized that he had been misled by the delirious wolf demon. However, considering the severity of the wolf demon's injuries, he didn't say anything further.
Zhang Yan asked, "Aren't you angry?"
"He was ambushed, and his mind was in a fog, so it's understandable. But I was also anxious and didn't analyze the problem, which was my mistake."
After hearing Hei Feng's words, Zhang Yan smiled.
