"A very distant place?" the man in black frowned, turning to Feng Qishi. "Brother, what is your name?"
Feng Qishi: "Feng Qishi." He cupped his hands.
"My name is Yue Ci." The man in black also cupped his hands.
Mu Anxiao had never heard the name Yue Ci before, and finding it introduced by the man in black now, she only felt it was unfamiliar.
"Yue Ci, that's a rather poetic name," Feng Qishi smiled faintly.
Yue Ci also smiled, "Brother Qi, you jest."
Normally, once people learned Feng Qishi's name, they would naturally address him as Brother Feng, a title that always gave him a headache.
Hearing Yue Ci address him this way now, Feng Qishi couldn't help but smile knowingly, "Brother Yue, what I said is the truth, I'm not jesting."
Upon hearing this, Yue Ci smiled and waved his hand.
Mu Anxiao stood up, looking at them speechlessly, her lips curling.
Turning, Yue Ci shifted his gaze to Mu Anxiao. "What is your name?" His attitude towards her was completely different from his attitude towards Feng Qishi.
Hearing Yue Ci's tone, Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes, "Your attitude changes quite quickly." xxs1
Yue Ci: "It's alright. Just now," he stepped forward, lowering his head to meet Mu Anxiao's eyes, "you were also there. Why are you unharmed?"
"What do you mean by that?"
After going in circles, Yue Ci was indeed suspicious of Mu Anxiao.
Yue Ci: "What do I mean," he narrowed his eyes, "you know exactly what I mean. Speak, are you in league with that Xi'er?"
Feng Qishi frowned, "Brother Yue, that's not quite right."
Hearing this, Yue Ci turned to Feng Qishi, "Brother Qi, you were fighting alongside me earlier. Only she was with Miss Xin'er, and in the end," he said earnestly, "only Miss Xin'er died, and she was unharmed. Don't you find this peculiar?"
"I don't."
"Brother Qi..."
"I know what kind of person she is. Moreover," Feng Qishi said seriously, "from what I understand, that Xi'er and Xin'er seem to be rivals in love."
"Rivals in love?" Yue Ci was surprised, "Brother Qi means... Xin'er has someone she likes?"
"Yes, that person is the young master of the Mu Estate. I presume you know where Xin'er is from?" Feng Qishi asked.
Seeing Feng Qishi speak up for her, Mu Anxiao's heart began to beat wildly again. To prevent him from noticing, she deliberately lowered her head.
The dagger felt Mu Anxiao's heartbeat deeply, remaining silent.
Yue Ci: "This... I..." he said, sniffing his sleeve, and nodded, "It's that scent."
Seeing this, Feng Qishi looked puzzled, "What are you smelling?"
Yue Ci smiled, "Brother Qi, I have a peculiar habit of remembering the scents of women. I'm also very familiar with the scents of the Mu Estate girls, so..."
"Wait," Feng Qishi interrupted, looking Yue Ci up and down, and asked, "What do you do for a living?"
"I... I am a flower thief of this generation. However, I generally don't lay hands on women, only on," Yue Ci smiled, "things that women carry."
Flower thief. Feng Qishi had never met one, but in the dramas he watched in his previous life, flower thieves always appeared, leaving him with a negative impression.
Who would have thought... he was now so close to a flower thief? He found it incredible.
But, more so, he felt resistance.
"That's still not acceptable," he stated firmly.
Yue Ci's expression stiffened, "Brother Qi, it seems you have an opinion of me?"
"I do. What you do is disrespectful to women. Therefore, as a cultivator, I advise you," Feng Qishi said sternly, "to stop."
Hearing Feng Qishi's words, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but feel speechless, then she slapped herself and raised her head, saying, "Shen the Madman, you usually don't meddle so much. Why are you meddling so much today?"
At this, Yue Ci's gaze shifted back to Mu Anxiao's face, "Brother, what should I call you?"
Startled by Yue Ci's suddenly gentle tone, Mu Anxiao asked, "Are you alright?"
"Seeing as you support me, I'll recognize you as a brother," Yue Ci said, and rather presumptuously, reached out to place a hand on Mu Anxiao's shoulder.
Mu Anxiao frowned and took a step back, "My demands are not high. I just hope you can come here often to burn some paper." As she spoke, she took out a bag of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Yue Ci.
Feng Qishi looked at Yue Ci's retreating back, then at the hand that had just touched Mu Anxiao's shoulder, frowned, and walked forward.
Yue Ci took the bag of silver and smiled, "What should I call you?"
"My name is... Mu Xi."
"Mu Xi?" Yue Ci laughed, "That name is really quite plain. But speaking of which, isn't that the name of the young master of the Mu Estate?"
"..." Mu Anxiao hadn't expected Yue Ci to know so much. Hearing this, she was also surprised. After a moment's thought, she said, "My name is Mu Ming."
"Naughty," Yue Ci chuckled.
Mu Anxiao's gaze flickered. Unintentionally, she looked at Feng Qishi, who was glaring at Yue Ci, and said, "Well, that's that then."
"Alright, we shall meet again." Yue Ci cupped his hands and turned to look at Feng Qishi, who was glaring at him. Startled, he smiled, "Brother Qi, I will change, I will change. Don't look at me like that."
"Really?" Feng Qishi's attitude softened slightly.
Yue Ci smiled, "Really."
Feng Qishi nodded and looked at Mu Anxiao, "We should be going too."
Mu Anxiao hummed in agreement.
For decades, they never saw Yue Ci again. Whether Yue Ci was still a flower thief, they didn't know, but Mu Anxiao knew he was caught.
A moment later, the instant Feng Qishi brought Mu Anxiao back to the dilapidated room, Feng Qishi consciously released the hand that had been holding hers for a long time.
The wolf demon hadn't discovered anything for the moment. Instead, he looked at the bloodstains and dirt on Mu Anxiao with surprise. "Mu Anxiao, what happened to you? Can you tell us?" he walked opposite Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao lowered her head, said nothing, turned, and walked away.
On the way back, Feng Qishi had been holding Mu Anxiao's hand without letting go. It was because of this that Mu Anxiao's heart could no longer be restrained. She knew the wolf demon and the others would see through her thoughts instantly, so she decided to avoid them.
Feng Qishi was bewildered. He turned to look at Mu Anxiao's retreating back as she left the dilapidated room, swallowed, and then met the wolf demon's gaze. "What are you looking at me for?"
Wolf Demon: "She's acting strange."
Feng Qishi: "You think so too."
"It's not that I think so," the wolf demon said seriously. "It's very obvious she's acting strange." As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance towards the door again.
Conversely, Lin Yan saw something interesting in Mu Anxiao. "I know, Master... she..." He looked at Feng Qishi, "Likes you."
Feng Qishi was stunned. He looked down at his hand. "..."
