Zhao Xiang didn't notice Feng Qishi's gaze, still looking at Mu Anxiao, he nodded, "Yes, he went to find you."
"He knows I'm still alive?" Mu Anxiao was completely startled by Zhao Xiang's words.
Zhao Xiang looked at Mu Anxiao's suddenly anxious expression, thought for a moment, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "He doesn't know you're alive, he just..." He stopped, glanced at Feng Qishi, and continued, "He seems to regret killing you."
"Seems?" Mu Anxiao repeated, and sneered, "I see, you're deliberately scaring me. You just want to go back and report that I'm alive, right?" As she spoke, she couldn't believe that Ouyang Ye, such a wicked person, would actually regret it.
Zhao Xiang now wanted to defect to Mu Anxiao, so seeing her like this, he also became anxious, "I'm not lying to you, he really regrets it, but," his eyes showed uncertainty, "I don't know if what he told me is true or not, that's why I said 'seems'."
"It seems he told you something?" Mu Anxiao decided to believe Zhao Xiang for now.
Zhao Xiang thought for a moment and said, "He really regrets killing you, he feels he made a mistake, but..." He paused for a few seconds, carefully staring at Mu Anxiao, "but he finally felt that you were hiding from him. He thought that when that guy got married, you appeared."
"That guy?" Mu Anxiao repeated, and couldn't help but recall Ouyang Ye's incomprehensible scheme. She then turned to Feng Qishi and realized, "He was talking about you, wasn't he?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiang followed Mu Anxiao's gaze and looked at Feng Qishi's face, suddenly realizing, "So he was talking about you, Mo Yun." Saying this, he gave a wry smile.
Feng Qishi glanced at Zhao Xiang and said, "If you hadn't heard her speak, would you have not told us this news?" His eyes became cold.
Similarly, Zhao Xiang looked at Feng Qishi with eyes full of fear, swallowed, and choked out, "Mo Yun, it's not that I had no choice, I..." He decided to explain his situation, "I now possess a demon soul, and the one who saved me was Ouyang Ye. I dare not offend him, if I offend him, my parents will be implicated, I have no choice." After speaking, he lowered his head.
Mu Anxiao blinked her eyes and said, "Still a filial son."
"I really have no choice," Zhao Xiang emphasized.
Feng Qishi had heard about Zhao Xiang's situation, so he understood him, "I know, I was just asking casually, you don't need to overreact," he said, trying to change the subject, "Speaking of which, do you know where Ouyang Ye is now?"
Hearing Feng Qishi's plain question, Zhao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Feng Qishi, hesitated, and said, "I don't know, but I guess he must be going to the scene of the incident to search for..." He stopped halfway, carefully glanced at Mu Anxiao, and continued, "her."
Listening to Zhao Xiang's words, Mu Anxiao frowned slightly, and couldn't help but recall the incident where she suddenly appeared and scared the woodcutter. Her heart sank, and she said, "Not good, I might be discovered." Saying this, she widened her eyes and looked up at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
"No," Mu Anxiao didn't hear what Feng Qishi was asking at all. Instead, she shifted her gaze to Zhao Xiang's face, "My aura has changed. How did you recognize me, or is it my face?"
"Your voice is very familiar, and your face hasn't changed at all. Of course," Zhao Xiang gave a naive smile, "I have a characteristic, which is photographic memory. Anyone I've seen, no matter who they are or how they change, I can recognize them at a glance. To be honest, when we met by the rockery, I already suspected you."
"Then why didn't you tell Ouyang Ye about me?"
"I don't say things without certainty, and most importantly," Zhao Xiang said, "In my eyes, you are just a new servant. If I hadn't overheard your conversation just now, I wouldn't have thought you were Mu Xiao."
"This ability of yours isn't good," Mu Anxiao said in a low voice.
Zhao Xiang sensed something else from Mu Anxiao's words, so to avoid further suspicion, he stated directly, "I want to defect to you and provide you with the information you want." His eyes were firm.
From the moment Zhao Xiang spoke of revealing her true identity to Feng Qishi, Mu Anxiao had seen his intentions. However, because he was someone by Ouyang Ye's side, she remained cautious. She hadn't expected Zhao Xiang to be so straightforward. Looking at him now, she deliberately put on a suspicious expression and said, "This is too sudden."
"I'm serious." Ouyang Ye's eyes were firm.
"Serious..." Mu Anxiao repeated, lowering her eyes and smiling, "Your gaze is quite firm, but I don't think you would defect to me so obediently. In other words, if you defect to me, what about your parents? Have you considered this problem?"
"I am willing to cooperate with you to kill Ouyang Ye," Zhao Xiang became resolute.
"Kill..." Mu Anxiao repeated, taking a sharp breath, "Your idea is quite ruthless. But, I'm just curious, isn't he your savior? Shouldn't you repay his kindness now? Yet you say you want to follow me to kill Ouyang Ye. To be honest, your words make me a little scared of you."
"Because of his appearance, my parents' health deteriorated severely. Every time I went to him for medicine, he would beat me. Not only that, but he always threatened me with my parents' lives to do his bidding. These," Zhao Xiang clenched his fists, "I've really had enough."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Why did you make a move on A'Mei back then?"
"Just to distract you."
"Wasn't it for yourself?" Mu Anxiao retorted.
Zhao Xiang hesitated and said, "All my actions followed Ouyang Ye's instructions. To be honest," he said bitterly, "sometimes I don't even know what I'm doing. So, if you ask me these things, I can't say. Now, the only thing I can do is assist you, but you must promise me to protect my parents."
"Where are your parents?" Mu Anxiao asked casually.
Zhao Xiang replied casually, "They are in an inn in Jincheng. As for which inn, I..." His eyes flickered, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Mu Anxiao was surprised.
Zhao Xiang nodded slightly, "Yes, these were all arranged by Ouyang Ye. To be honest, I only recently found out that my parents had come here. Now," his eyes darkened, "I can only search for them."
"Search," Mu Anxiao uttered the word, sighed, and shifted her gaze to Feng Qishi's face.
Similarly, Zhao Xiang also looked at Feng Qishi.
