Mu Anxiao watched calmly as Zhao Xiang suddenly shifted his gaze to her face. "You are truly different," she said faintly. With that, she took a step forward, walking right up to Zhao Xiang.
Zhao Xiang was utterly bewildered. He frowned. "What do you mean by that?" he asked, glancing again at Feng Qishi, who had walked to Mu Anxiao's side.
Feng Qishi regarded Zhao Xiang with a cold stare. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly reached out, grasped Zhao Xiang’s arm, and placed his fingers on his pulse for a moment. "Why is your pulse so erratic?" he said, releasing his hand.
Zhao Xiang’s eyes darted away. He replied in a low voice, "I don't know." He then shifted his gaze back to Mu Anxiao's face. "No wonder you always kept your head down. For so long, you were Mu Xiao."
Mu Anxiao retorted, "What, do you want to go report me to Ouyang Ye?" As she spoke, she waved her arm, and the door automatically closed.
Zhao Xiang glanced at the door Mu Anxiao had sealed with her magic, then turned back to her. "So that's why you're not dead," he said calmly.
"When did you start eavesdropping?" Mu Anxiao asked coldly, her eyes devoid of emotion, her words even carrying a coercive tone.
Zhao Xiang, listening to Mu Anxiao's abrupt shifts in topic and her refusal to answer, lost the courage to ask any more questions. He said, "I didn't come here to eavesdrop."
"You didn't come to eavesdrop," Mu Anxiao snorted. "As expected of Ouyang Ye's subordinate, you lie without a hint of guilt. However, this trick won't work on me. I advise you to speak honestly, or I'll make you like that door." With that, she waved her arm, the door suddenly swung open, and then slammed shut with a 'bang'.
Zhao Xiang flinched as he heard the movement behind him. "I really wasn't intending to eavesdrop..."
"You weren't intending to eavesdrop at first, but after you came over, you suddenly wanted to listen in," Mu Anxiao said, her expression hardening. "Am I right?"
"I never intended to eavesdrop. I just wanted to find Mo Yun," Zhao Xiang said urgently. "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." He lowered his head.
Mu Anxiao looked at Zhao Xiang's sudden dejected demeanor and snorted, "There's nothing you can do, of course. You lackey of Ouyang Ye." She felt that at this point, there was no point in hiding anything, so she became direct. "Today, I will not let you leave." She spread out her hands.
Seeing this, Feng Qishi asked, "What are you going to do?"
Mu Anxiao remained silent. She stared at her palm for a long time, then suddenly remembered that her light rope was still with Hei Feng. With a tut, she lowered her hand and looked at Zhao Xiang, who was standing opposite her. "You're lucky," she said coldly, then, with an embarrassed expression, she dropped her hand.
At the same time, the moment Jia heard Mu Anxiao mention 'Hei Feng', he suddenly remembered what Gu Qin had said earlier. He said, "Oh, right, Gu Qin also said she could save Bing'er. Why is she... unable to now?" As he spoke, he stood up and walked behind Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao listened to Jia's question and thought about Gu Qin's reaction after she had just exposed her. She said, "Her method was to use her own demonic energy to prolong Bing'er's life. It's just a pity that her plan has now been declared a failure by me, so naturally, it's ended like this." She shrugged.
Jia understood Mu Anxiao's words and nodded.
Then, Mu Anxiao shifted her gaze away from Jia's face and looked at Zhao Xiang again, saying coldly, "No matter what, I will not let you report to Ouyang Ye."
"Ouyang Ye went to find you," Zhao Xiang suddenly said.
Conversely, Mu Anxiao completely ignored Zhao Xiang's words. She sneered and said, "Now you're pretending to report. Speaking of which, did Ouyang Ye tell you about me being killed by him?"
"..." Zhao Xiang was taken aback by Mu Anxiao's sudden statement. He asked, "How did you know I came?" He glanced at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi replied, "She was here too." He then looked at Mu Anxiao.
After hearing Feng Qishi's words, Mu Anxiao crossed her arms. "Did you hear that? I heard everything you said to him. Of course, I didn't want to tell you about this, but since you're here, there are some things you can know. However," she narrowed her eyes, "you should know that knowing more isn't always a good thing, right?"
"I..."
Zhao Xiang had already considered these questions before coming here. His purpose for coming was simply to comfort Feng Qishi. He never expected that as soon as he stopped at the door, he would hear Mu Anxiao's voice, and then their analysis of Ouyang Ye's plan. After listening, he felt terrible, because he hadn't expected that Mu Anxiao had seen through Ouyang Ye's meticulously designed plan. Not only that, but she had also managed to evade Ouyang Ye's notice and played another role here, Cao Gen. Most importantly, he had been discovered by her instantly.
Now, facing Mu Anxiao, he was also suddenly speechless.
"Just one word. Who are you trying to appease?" Mu Anxiao said with disdain.
Zhao Xiang declared, "I told Mo Yun that Ouyang Ye was the coachman." He suddenly made the decision to side with Mu Anxiao because he knew that he could lose his life at any moment under Ouyang Ye. Of course, he didn't care about himself. What worried him most was that Ouyang Ye would act against his relatives. Therefore, for everyone's sake, he had the idea of asking Mu Anxiao for help.
"I know," Mu Anxiao said expressionlessly.
Zhao Xiang became nervous due to Mu Anxiao's attitude. "Since that's the case, I've provided you with important information, right?"
"You..." Mu Anxiao uttered the word, then took a breath. "You only said that for him. I don't think you're providing me with any information. I only remember that you harmed me." She held a grudge.
Zhao Xiang smiled awkwardly when he heard this. "But that was a long time ago, and you..."
"Her, do you still want her?" Mu Anxiao suddenly interrupted, pointing towards the bed.
Zhao Xiang followed Mu Anxiao's finger towards the bed and froze. "A Mei," he said, swallowing hard, and slowly turned back to look at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao smiled. "Of course, that matter is in the past. Now, tell me, do you want to defect to me?" She raised her chin.
Zhao Xiang nodded.
Mu Anxiao smiled. "Very good," she said, then her expression turned serious. "Tell me, where is Ouyang Ye now?"
Zhao Xiang's expression stiffened, but thinking of his future, he spoke truthfully. "He went to find you."
"Looking for me?" Mu Anxiao's nerves tightened.
Feng Qishi frowned and looked down at Mu Anxiao.
