Chapter 1747 The Two Who Refused to Hand Over Their Whips

The first man in black, hearing the second man in black chuckle foolishly, chuckled foolishly himself for a couple of times and said, "I think so too."

"The carriage is all ready," Mu Anxiao said, picking up her cup and taking a sip of water.

The second man in black nodded. "I've already asked the waiter here to prepare it. We'll depart in half an hour," he said. As he spoke, his gaze suddenly flickered. "By the way, are you following us later?"

"Why should I follow you?" Mu Anxiao asked, glancing at Feng Qishi with the second man in black's gaze.

The second man in black didn't have the courage to look at Feng Qishi and quickly retracted his gaze, turning it back to Mu Anxiao's face. He said, "Actually, I'm worried... that it's our enemy playing a prank."

"Enemy..." Mu Anxiao murmured, her eyes slanted. She inadvertently noticed the woman's gaze towards the second man in black and said, "Impossible, she didn't even hear it." She pointed to the woman.

The moment Mu Anxiao shifted her attention to herself, the woman hurriedly lowered her head.

The second man in black glanced at the woman and then withdrew his fleeting thought, also lowering his head.

The first man in black, holding his teacup, looked at Mu Anxiao who had suddenly turned to him and grinned. "May I ask you a question?"

"Ask," Mu Anxiao replied curtly.

Seeing that Mu Anxiao wasn't impatient, the first man in black cleared his throat and said, "Do you think that voice woke us up?"

Since she entered, Mu Anxiao had only listened to Feng Qishi and believed what they said. As for the words that ordinary people couldn't comprehend, she hadn't uttered a single one.

However, now the first man in black was suddenly asking her such a question, which made her feel puzzled. "Why are you asking me?"

"..." The first man in black chuckled foolishly twice and said, "Since you were able to save us from the wolves' mouths, you must know everything, so I'm asking you."

Wolves' mouths?

That day, after Mu Anxiao tied them to a tree, two wolves had approached. Her intention was only to scare them, not to take their lives.

So, she used the method she had used to subdue wolf demons. She lit a torch, and it was that torch that scared them away and saved them.

Yet now, they were all using this incident to evaluate her abilities, which made her feel it was somewhat exaggerated. Moreover, she knew that if a pack of wolves truly came, she alone... would certainly not be enough.

Therefore, at this moment, she couldn't bear their flattery.

"I'm not as formidable as you think," she said.

"You..."

"I am also an ordinary person. The only reason I believed you this time is because of him," Mu Anxiao said, pointing at Feng Qishi. "If it were up to me, I still wouldn't believe you."

"You... then you're saying our wine..."

"It might be fake wine," Mu Anxiao interrupted, glancing sideways at You Xian who was sound asleep on the bed. "You scared the waiters here so much that they were afraid of you losing and delaying your business, so they diluted your wine with water to help you win."

"But..."

"It's late at night, can we stop discussing this topic? It's creepy. In short," Mu Anxiao took a deep breath and continued, "I'm only believing you this once. I want to see if someone will really take her into the palace."

"You still don't believe us," the first man in black grumbled.

Mu Anxiao looked at the first man in black's wronged expression and said, "If something like this didn't happen to you, would you believe me?"

"..." After the first man in black pondered Mu Anxiao's words in his mind, he shook his head.

"Then that's right," Mu Anxiao said, casually picking up her cup, then turning to look at Feng Qishi who was staring blankly at her and asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

"You're going with them?" Feng Qishi retorted.

Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi's serious questioning expression, put down her cup again, and nodded. "Yeah, I'm going with them to see. Is that not allowed?"

Hearing this, Feng Qishi cleared his throat, glanced at both of them, and said, "You have your own matters to attend to, don't forget." The matter he was referring to was entering the palace.

"I know."

"You know, and you still want to go," Feng Qishi said in a low voice.

Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi's stern expression and then thought of You Xian, who would be sent to the imperial palace before she even woke up. She said firmly, "I am going."

"You..."

"There's only half an hour left. My matters will be dealt with after another half an hour. Anyway, I'm idle, and that home," Mu Anxiao sighed, "I can't go back to for now."

Listening to Mu Anxiao's words, Feng Qishi couldn't help but think of Mai Xia, who had already been imprisoned. Then he considered Mu Anxiao's status in the Mu Mansion and fell silent.

Seeing that Feng Qishi was no longer speaking, Mu Anxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Then she suddenly remembered the sound of a whip she had heard not long ago. Her eyes lit up, and she looked at them and asked, "By the way, do you have a whip?"

"Whip..." the second man in black repeated, chuckling foolishly.

Seeing this, Mu Anxiao said impatiently, "Just answer the question, do you have a whip or not? What are you chuckling foolishly for?"

"Yes," the second man in black nodded, touching the whip hanging at his waist with one hand, a reluctant expression on his face.

Mu Anxiao calmly looked at the second man in black's clearly concealed expression and said, "Could it be that you're afraid I'll want your whip?"

The second man in black shook his head. "No, it's just..." He glanced at the first man in black beside him, who was also protecting the whip at his waist, and said, "It's just that I'm afraid you won't know how to use it and might hurt yourself." xxs1

"Did I say I wanted to use it?" Mu Anxiao retorted.

Hearing this, the second man in black's expression stiffened, and he gave a dry laugh. "No."

Before, after the two of them provoked Mu Anxiao, she had taken five taels of silver from them on the spot.

They remembered it vividly. That day, Mu Anxiao had asked them if they had any more valuable weapons besides the five taels of silver. They had said no.

Finally, Mu Anxiao had said that if they lied to her, she would definitely take them back there and feed them to the wolves.

Because of this, they were afraid.

"No," Mu Anxiao said, nodding slightly. "It seems you remember my words very clearly."

The two of them chuckled foolishly again.

Mu Anxiao looked at each of them, picked up her cup, took a sip of water, and deliberately said, "Then perhaps I was hallucinating. That whip sound just now was really loud." As she said this, she shook her head slightly and put down the cup with a clink.
