Heifeng saw Gu Qin remain silent, so he didn't continue speaking.
Within the mansion.
Mu Anxiao continued to follow the servant, but what puzzled her was that the servant led her towards the back door.
Seeing this, she became angry, "What do you mean?" She stopped by the stables, looking at the servant who was still with his back to her.
The servant trembled, slowly turned around to face Mu Anxiao, and said, "I can't help it." As he spoke, he cast a glance to the side.
Mu Anxiao frowned and followed the servant's gaze to the side. A woman dressed identically to Gu Tie suddenly appeared within Mu Anxiao's line of sight. Mu Anxiao looked at the woman and asked, "Who are you?"
"Gu Tie is with you, isn't she?" the woman said directly. With one hand, she struck the servant's back, and the servant fainted.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao took a step forward and said, "You are Yishi."
"That's right, hand over Gu Tie," the woman said, extending her hand.
Mu Anxiao asked, "What's your name?"
"Me?" The woman pointed to herself and sneered, "My name is Gu Yuan, she is my sister."
"You don't look like it."
"I never said we were blood related," Gu Yuan said calmly.
Mu Anxiao nodded slightly, "Alright, I understand."
"Understand what?" Gu Yuan asked dismissively.
Mu Anxiao's lips curled. She pointed to the servant lying on the ground and said, "You've been following me for a while, haven't you?"
"I..." Gu Yuan's eyes darted away. "I haven't, I was just..."
"You hide quite well, I never noticed you."
"..." Gu Yuan didn't think Mu Anxiao was boasting about herself, so she snorted and said, "Stop wasting time, hand over Gu Tie. That guy is weak, and she won't have a good ending with you."
"You and she are both Yishi, why do you want her?" Mu Anxiao liked Gu Tie's address for her, so she decided to be responsible for Gu Tie to the end.
Gu Yuan replied, "I have my reasons for wanting her, just give her to me."
"You want to take her back."
"Yes, the Master wants her."
"Do you know what her fate will be after going back?" Mu Anxiao countered.
Gu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "How would I know, you..."
"I don't want to go back with you, I don't want to die." Gu Tie's voice came from Mu Anxiao's money pouch.
Mu Anxiao was startled and quickly lowered her head to stare at the money pouch, frowning.
Gu Yuan's gaze locked onto Mu Anxiao's money pouch. "So that's where she is," she said, walking towards Mu Anxiao.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao quickly extended her hand at the same time Gu Yuan approached her and said, "If you take one more step, I'll make you turn to ashes." She glared fiercely at Gu Yuan, protecting the money pouch with one hand.
Gu Yuan scoffed, "You're just a half-immortal, and you think you can destroy me? How ridiculous." With that, she charged forward.
Mu Anxiao quickly retreated a few steps, then shifted her body, glancing at Gu Yuan. "I hate it most when people call me a half-immortal," she said, clenching her fist.
Gu Yuan began to laugh.
The next second, just as Gu Yuan thought Mu Anxiao was bluffing, Mu Anxiao suddenly turned and swung her fist, smashing it towards Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan was startled and quickly retreated.
Immediately after, a blue light flashed in Mu Anxiao's eyes, and she began to attack Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan and Mu Anxiao began to fight.
After a few exchanges.
Mu Anxiao and Gu Yuan jumped down from the rooftop, standing in place, looking at each other without saying a word.
Gu Yuan was panting heavily, "I just called you a half-immortal, do you have to be like this?" She swallowed.
"Souls can also get tired."
"I am Yishi."
"What's the difference between Yishi and a soul?"
"When I move, the soul provides me with power from afar, but after a long time, I get tired." Gu Yuan explained in detail, then frowned. "Strange, why am I telling you this?"
"Is that so? Then you can also help me find those souls," Mu Anxiao said, a slight smile appearing on her lips.
Gu Yuan frowned, "You're smiling."
"You have a physical form," Mu Anxiao realized this at last.
Gu Yuan hadn't expected Mu Anxiao to discover this, so she took a step back. Just as she was about to argue, Mu Anxiao said again, "I know. This is your body, your consciousness is attached to the body, you have sold your souls."
These were all assumptions Mu Anxiao had made, without any proof.
So when Gu Yuan heard Mu Anxiao's words, she froze. "..."
"I guessed correctly," Mu Anxiao said, and began to retreat, preparing to leave.
Gu Yuan stated, "No."
"No," Mu Anxiao replied casually, quickly turned, and ran away.
Gu Yuan stiffened. Just as she was about to chase after Mu Anxiao, Ouyang Ye appeared before her. "..." He glared at her coldly.
Gu Yuan was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head.
Ouyang Ye glared at Gu Yuan, turned his back, and looked at Mu Anxiao's retreating figure, saying, "Gu Tie has been given to her."
"Master, you don't want her anymore?" Gu Yuan was surprised.
Ouyang Ye turned his face slightly. "No longer. Go and send that servant back, take good care of him. If anyone dies in this mansion, it won't be good for me." After saying that, he left.
Gu Yuan cupped her hands in acknowledgment and said, "Yes." Then she turned and walked towards the back door.
On the other side.
Mu Anxiao stopped panting behind a tree, gasping as she said, "I'm exhausted." Then she leaned against the tree, turned her head to look in that direction, and mumbled, "They shouldn't have chased me." Saying that, she lowered her head to look at the money pouch.
Gu Tie felt Mu Anxiao's gaze and asked, "Master, why are you looking at me?"
Mu Anxiao asked, "I am your Master, right?"
"Yes, you are my Master."
"I also saved your life just now, didn't I?" Mu Anxiao continued.
Gu Tie replied, "Yes."
"Good, since that's the case, whatever I ask you to do, you'll do, right?"
"Yes."
"You..." Mu Anxiao uttered the word, then suddenly felt that Gu Tie's response was not to her liking. "Can you stop always replying with 'yes, yes, yes'? Use a different word."
"Okay."
"..." Mu Anxiao's face was black.
Hearing Mu Anxiao fall silent, Gu Tie asked, "Master, why aren't you speaking?"
"I'm wondering where Feng Qi Shi is?" Mu Anxiao said, looking around and realizing she was lost.
At the same time, Gu Tie said, "I know, Master, I'll show you the way."
"Really?"
"Master, go west."
"West..." Mu Anxiao repeated the word and began to move forward.
Immediately after, Gu Tie started giving Mu Anxiao various directions.
Just then, Ouyang Ye walked to the tree where Mu Anxiao had stopped earlier, looked at Mu Anxiao's figure, and a smile played on his lips. "I didn't expect Gu Tie to be useful after all," he said, raising an eyebrow, and continued to track Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao was completely unaware.
