He could see Jia's reluctance. He also knew that Jia only agreed because he didn't want to turn into that terrifying soul.
He was so patient with Jia because he felt that, to some extent, Jia had helped him reach his current position. It was also Jia who made him understand the importance of competition and the true meaning of a fallen tiger being bullied by dogs.
In similar situations, Jia saw Hei Feng as his competitor, and Hei Feng saw Jia as his competitor as well. It was precisely because of Jia's existence that Hei Feng acted with caution.
Looking at Jia's retreating back, Hei Feng lowered his eyes and smiled, then looked at Lou Yi, "Hand her over to me."
"Alright," Lou Yi agreed, pushing Gu Qin towards Hei Feng.
Hei Feng casually grabbed the light rope, glanced at the terrified Gu Qin, and said, "You guys go."
"What's your name?" Lou Yi was impressed by Hei Feng's abilities.
Hei Feng looked at Lou Yi and smiled faintly, "You should follow him." He pointed at Jia.
Upon hearing this, Jia immediately turned and glared at Lou Yi, "But your master told you to follow me. What, do you want to disobey his orders?"
Lou Yi: "How dare I." As he spoke, he still couldn't help but glance at Hei Feng again.
Afterward, Hei Feng smiled, took Gu Qin, and turned to leave. xxs1
Just like that, Lou Yi and Jia were left alone in the great hall. Lou Yi looked in the direction Hei Feng had left, sighed, and then looked down at Jia, "Let's go too."
Jia turned his body and looked up at Lou Yi, saying nothing.
Lou Yi felt uncomfortable under Jia's gaze, "Can you stop looking at me like that? It's creepy." He touched the goosebumps that had appeared.
Jia: "Why do you all think he's so amazing? Is it just because he's an adult and I'm a child?" He stared at Lou Yi with a wronged expression.
Lou Yi looked down at Jia's pathetic appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing Lou Yi's unrestrained laughter, Jia grunted twice and turned to walk away first.
Immediately, Lou Yi stopped laughing and, without a word, turned to follow Jia's footsteps.
General's Mansion.
Mu Anxiao sat at the table, resting her chin on her hand, thinking about the time when the wind began to stir, when a knock sounded at the door.
"Who is it?" She removed her hand and sat up straight.
Immediately, a sweet female voice came from outside, "It's me."
Hearing the voice, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but frown. "What are you looking for me for?" She glanced at Xiao Fei, who was still sleeping opposite her, and thought, it must be A Mei.
"I have something to tell you, won't you let me in?" A Mei asked tentatively.
"You can just say it outside."
"It might not be appropriate to say some things outside."
"Why wouldn't it be appropriate? We're not familiar with each other, and it would be more inappropriate if you came in," Mu Anxiao said directly. "Say whatever it is outside."
"I still want to tell you in person."
"..." Mu Anxiao was speechless at A Mei.
Then, taking advantage of Mu Anxiao's silence, A Mei reached out and pushed the door open. In that instant, Mu Anxiao and A Mei's eyes met.
"Who let you in?" Mu Anxiao said impatiently.
A Mei grinned playfully, "I heard you don't have to go into the palace." As she spoke, she stepped over the threshold and walked in.
Mu Anxiao looked at A Mei's presumptuous behavior with disgust. "Get out." She stood up.
Conversely, A Mei completely ignored Mu Anxiao and walked to Xiao Fei's side. "I just saw the Young Master." She said, placing her hands on the edge of the table.
Mu Anxiao glanced at A Mei's hands and said faintly, "Why are you telling me this?"
"I saw him leaving from your place. Did you provoke him?" A Mei gossiped, sitting down in the chair next to Xiao Fei.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao sensed the demonic energy in the ceiling beams and said, "Did I ask you to sit down?"
"I just want to sit," A Mei said, then scanned the teacups on the table and asked, "Are you using so many for yourself?"
"I like it."
"Since I'm already here, can you not treat me like this? It makes me feel bad." A Mei was thick-skinned.
Mu Anxiao frowned. "Whether you feel bad or not is none of my concern, but your presence here makes me feel bad." She pointed at A Mei. "Leave quickly."
"You..."
"What 'you'? I just don't want you here. Get out." Mu Anxiao's attitude was firm.
"Why are you rejecting me so much?" A Mei said aggrievedly and stood up. "I came here wanting to tell you something, but it seems you're completely unresponsive."
"I am unresponsive, and what business is it of yours?"
There was demonic energy in the room, and Mu Anxiao had not yet figured out its source. The reason she didn't want A Mei to stay long was her fear that the demonic energy would target A Mei.
Of course, there was also the fact that she detested A Mei.
"Why are you so unreasonable? I wanted to tell you about a strange person who came to the mansion, and you don't even want to hear me," A Mei sighed. "Then forget it."
"What strange person?" Mu Anxiao asked casually.
A Mei: "A noble young master dressed in fine clothes, but he was hiding from the Young Master." She said seriously, "Don't you find that strange?"
"Hiding from Shen Mo Yun?" Mu Anxiao retorted.
A Mei nodded.
"Where is he now?" Mu Anxiao continued to ask.
A Mei readily answered, "He's near your room. Speaking of which, did you summon that person?"
"If I did, why would I be asking you?" Mu Anxiao said impatiently. She decided to go and see after A Mei left.
A Mei nodded with feigned dullness, "What you said makes sense." She then shifted her gaze to the empty plates and bowls on the table and asked, "By the way, where is that woman who cooked for you?"
"Why are you asking so many questions?" Mu Anxiao said, sitting down.
A Mei: "That woman was fighting with me for the kitchen and slapped me." She touched her cheek. "After a while, she's your maid."
"She hit you?"
"Yes, I said it's first come, first served, and then..."
"There's more to it, isn't there?" Mu Anxiao interrupted, reaching for her cup.
A Mei gave a wry smile, "I just called her a wild girl, and then she..." Her eyes flickered, "...hit me."
"Serves you right," Mu Anxiao said coldly, taking a sip of water.
A Mei's lips twisted, "I knew you'd say that about me."
"You can leave now," Mu Anxiao said unceremoniously.
"Why do you always want me to leave? I just want to sit down and discuss something with you."
"But I don't want to discuss anything with you."
"You..." After uttering one word, A Mei couldn't continue. "Fine, I'll leave."
Mu Anxiao put down her cup, choosing not to speak.
A Mei sighed. As she turned to leave, a floral fragrance suddenly drifted in from outside. Before she could take two steps, she collapsed.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao quickly put down her teacup and stood up.
