"Do I need to chant other incantations?" Feng Qishi asked incredulously, finding the process surprisingly simple.
"No, just do as I say. The spiritual energy will convert into spells, and this disk will start to operate," Mu Anxiao explained in detail.
"Can I touch it?" Feng Qishi inquired.
Mu Anxiao shook her head. "No, the yang energy on it is very strong. It's fine for you to cast spells, but if you move it, it will harm you."
"Then why did you tell me to point my finger at it?" Feng Qishi pointed at the disk.
Mu Anxiao said helplessly, "I told you to point it *above* it, not to place your entire finger on it. Can't your brain think for a moment?"
"Alright, I'll try," Feng Qishi said. He took a deep breath, imitated Mu Anxiao's previous actions, raised two fingers, and pointed them at the space above the disk.
Mu Anxiao's eyes were fixed on Feng Qishi's fingertip.
After a few seconds, Feng Qishi's fingertip began to emit a blue light. Mu Anxiao's lips curved into a smile.
Feng Qishi glanced at Mu Anxiao's lips and asked, "What are you smiling about?" As he spoke, the blue light on his fingertip vanished instantly.
"Can you calm down?" Mu Anxiao looked up at Feng Qishi impatiently.
"I am a spirit soul of an immortal. If it doesn't work this time, it will next time. Why are you so fierce?" Feng Qishi retorted, and then he started again.
This time, Mu Anxiao did not smile.
Feng Qishi smiled.
"Okay, okay," Feng Qishi said, withdrawing his fingers, which had been emitting blue light.
Mu Anxiao looked at the disk, now enveloped in blue light, and narrowed her eyes. "What did you see?"
"It's moving," Feng Qishi exclaimed excitedly.
Mu Anxiao leaned in, staring intently at the pointer on the disk. After it rotated once, characters appeared above the disk: Feng Family.
"Feng Family," Feng Qishi read aloud.
Mu Anxiao looked at the characters in surprise, then back at Feng Qishi. "Why didn't it work for me?"
"It proves this thing is suitable for me to use," Feng Qishi patted his chest.
Mu Anxiao glared at Feng Qishi, took back the disk, and said, "Alright, let's go."
"You usually just carry it around, don't you?" Feng Qishi pointed at Mu Anxiao's pocket.
Mu Anxiao didn't reply. After a pause, she said, "No, wait. Why would a female demon soul go to the Feng family?" She then turned to look at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Aren't you very smart? Analyze it," Mu Anxiao said coolly.
Feng Qishi's lips curved into a smile. "Are you praising me, or mocking me?"
"Hurry up and say it," Mu Anxiao said impatiently again.
Feng Qishi smiled faintly. "You can track her whereabouts, but she can't track yours."
"How can she track me?" Mu Anxiao asked again.
Feng Qishi shrugged. "That, I don't know. But speaking of which, I still need to follow you."
"It seems I have to... go to the Feng family," Mu Anxiao said with visible reluctance.
"Yes, we can't avoid it," Feng Qishi nodded.
Mu Anxiao nodded slightly, then took out her phone, which had started vibrating again, and answered, "Hello, who is it?"
"It's me," Feng Sen said.
"Why are you calling again?" Mu Anxiao pretended to be annoyed.
"I think you should still come. No matter what, you are your brother's only friend. If you don't come, your brother will surely die with regrets," Feng Sen said gravely.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi, who seemed to be living his life freely in her eyes, and closed her eyes for a moment. "Fine, I'll go."
"I'm in the parking lot across the street. Come over, and I'll take you," Feng Sen said.
"No..."
Before Mu Anxiao could utter a word, Feng Sen hung up.
Feng Qishi smiled. "Let's go. If you go like this, it won't be so awkward."
"Alright," Mu Anxiao nodded.
In an instant, Mu Anxiao walked into the simple parking lot. Feng Sen stood by the car and waved at her. "This way."
Mu Anxiao walked over with an impatient expression. "You know I didn't go far."
"I originally wanted to chase you for a while, but I thought it would be too troublesome, so I found this parking lot. After thinking for a moment, I still felt I should ask you. Who knew," Feng Sen smiled, "you'd agree."
"Let's go," Mu Anxiao said. Seeing Feng Sen's gentle demeanor towards her, she felt genuinely uncomfortable.
"You can sit in the front," Feng Sen said, walking around to the passenger side door.
"No, thank you. I prefer the back," Mu Anxiao replied, opening the rear door and getting in.
Feng Sen smiled and walked around to the driver's side.
Feng Qishi sat next to Mu Anxiao.
Feng Sen fastened his seatbelt and said, "I just finished some business over there, and then I saw you sitting on the bus. Tell me," he started the car, "aren't we quite fated?"
"It's not fate, we're just walking on the same path," Mu Anxiao said, turning to look out the window.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's profile and sighed.
Feng Sen smiled. "I think this is what we call destiny. Actually, when you think about it, the things that happen between us are truly magical."
"I don't think so," Mu Anxiao said coldly.
Feng Sen maintained his smile. "I think it's fine."
Mu Anxiao was speechless.
Feng Qishi said, "I guarantee he'll make awkward small talk with you the entire way."
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and said nothing.
For the next while, as Feng Qishi had predicted, Feng Sen talked about many awkward topics, none of which interested Mu Anxiao.
Feng Qishi yawned. "I knew it would be like this."
Mu Anxiao sighed.
Feng Sen glanced at Mu Anxiao in the rearview mirror. "What's wrong? You don't like the topics I'm talking about? Then let's talk about something else."
At this point, Mu Anxiao was truly unable to tolerate Feng Sen's monologue. She said, "Brother, I haven't said a word, and you've been talking non-stop. Don't your throat hurt?"
"You don't like listening to me talk?" Feng Sen asked.
Mu Anxiao nodded. "Yes, I really don't. Please shut up. Isn't it better to drive quietly? And also," she continued, "I am Feng Qishi's friend. It's really meaningless for you to try to get close to me like this."
Feng Qishi chuckled secretly.
Feng Sen's expression turned awkward for a moment. "Alright, I won't speak then."
Mu Anxiao remained silent and looked out the window again.
For the rest of the journey, Feng Sen did not speak again.
Feng Qishi had never seen Feng Sen like this before. Now, he found it incredibly satisfying.
As Mu Anxiao watched the car turn into the residential area, she let out a sigh of relief.
Feng Qishi's heart sank inexplicably.
Seeing Feng Qishi's discomfort, Mu Anxiao blinked, about to ask something, when Feng Sen said, "We're here."
"Oh," Mu Anxiao nodded.
Feng Sen said, "If it's possible, I hope we can be friends."
"Friends?" Mu Anxiao repeated.
