A year ago, Mu Anxiao lost everything. For her sake, he came here, experiencing a life completely different from his past, understanding the cruelty of war, and becoming the true Shen Moyun. If the past were to repeat itself, he didn't know what would happen between them.
In any case, in this uncertain future, he knew he couldn't act rashly. Otherwise, anything could happen to Mu Anxiao. Thus, he took the black-clothed woman's counsel to heart and decided to compromise. Only in this way would Mu Anxiao's life not be threatened. Moreover, he could see Ouyang Ye's sincerity towards Mu Anxiao and believed that with blessings, Mu Anxiao's future would be good.
As for himself, he decided to give up everything and silently protect Mu Anxiao. Even if he didn't attain immortality, it didn't matter. At least this time, Mu Anxiao would not die. At least she wouldn't lose anything else. At least she would have someone by her side who truly cared to protect her. Even if he were a demon, he believed she would still be happy.
This was because Ouyang Ye was willing to plan everything for her and eliminate the demons who had harmed her. He, on the other hand, could only accompany her silently. This companionship, in his eyes, was useless and would only plunge her into one crisis after another.
At this very moment, he still listened to the black-clothed woman's words, "I won't go, then." As he spoke, he lowered his head.
Seeing Feng Qishi in this state, and recalling his attitude towards Mu Anxiao, Hei Qi suddenly understood. "I get it."
Hearing this, Hei Qi was startled and quickly turned to look at Hei Qi, annoyed. "What are you doing? You scared me." She frowned tightly.
"You said something to him, didn't you?"
"You said Ouyang Ye had dealt with the demons that harmed Mu Anxiao a year ago. Is that true?" Feng Qishi still wanted to confirm the truth of the matter.
The black-clothed woman averted her gaze.
As Feng Qishi asked this, Hei Qi retracted his words and looked at Feng Qishi. "Did you hear my conversation with Mu Anxiao?"
"You communicated within me, of course I could hear it," Feng Qishi said. Actually, he hadn't intended to ask this, but at the black-clothed woman's dissuasion, he inexplicably became interested.
"That's true," Hei Qi said, glancing at the black-clothed woman's face, and continued, "Master did these things for Mu Anxiao."
"Is that so?" Feng Qishi said softly, a sense of inferiority suddenly welling up in his heart.
"Mhm, but I can also see that you..."
"You'd better shut up," the black-clothed woman interrupted Hei Qi hastily, fearing he would say something that would awaken Feng Qishi.
Upon hearing this, Hei Qi immediately shifted his gaze to the black-clothed woman and said, "Does it make sense for you to interrupt me like this?" He was angry.
The black-clothed woman felt wronged. "I'm doing it for your own good."
"You're for my good," Hei Qi said, suddenly smiling. "Yes, you are indeed for my good."
"You know, then..."
"What then? If it weren't for you, my life wouldn't be threatened. Speaking of which, why did you run around carelessly? If it weren't for Master, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with a demon like you who always drags me down." Hei Qi pointed at the black-clothed woman and yelled.
And so, Feng Qishi became an onlooker.
The black-clothed woman felt wronged. "Why are you saying that about me? I wouldn't really kill him. Do you have to be so angry?"
"Do I have to be?" Hei Qi pointed to himself and sneered. "You tell me if I have to be? Master has been looking for you for so long. If it were me, I wouldn't have found you at all. You always like to cross the line. Have you forgotten what happened before?"
"I don't understand what you're saying," the black-clothed woman said, avoiding his gaze.
Feng Qishi crossed his arms, glancing at Hei Qi and the black-clothed woman who were bickering.
After the black-clothed woman said that, Hei Qi sneered and said, "You don't understand what I'm saying? Before, Master asked you to scare someone, so he let you enter that person's body. In the end," he narrowed his eyes, "you, because you were playing around, caused their death. Don't tell me you've forgotten about this."
"It happened so long ago, is it meaningful?" The black-clothed woman felt guilty for no reason.
Hei Qi sneered, "It's not meaningful, but after that incident, Master began to threaten me with death. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have reached that point."
"You resent me." The black-clothed woman had never heard Hei Qi say such things. Now that he suddenly said it, she was truly surprised.
"Yes, I resent you. Since the day we started cooperating, you've never said a good word for me, nor have you ever helped me. You always like to give me those unfounded accusations, Hei Gu," Hei Qi said, his eyes cold. "I hate you." He opened one hand.
"You're called Hei Gu." Feng Qishi couldn't help but speak.
Hei Qi continued to glare at the black-clothed woman named Hei Gu, saying nothing.
Immediately, Hei Gu, taking advantage of Hei Qi's silence, looked at Feng Qishi. "That is my name. Please save me, please." As she was about to move towards Feng Qishi, Hei Qi shot a black light towards her.
Seeing this, Hei Gu quickly stopped in her tracks.
Feng Qishi remained unmoved, looking at Hei Qi who was also staring at him. "You really want to kill her."
"This is none of your business, you can leave," Hei Qi said indifferently.
Hearing this, Hei Gu quickly said, "Feng Qishi, if you leave, everything will truly repeat itself. Master will not let you go. You..."
"Shut up," Hei Qi snapped, turning back to glare at Hei Gu. "If you die, I won't have any problems anymore."
"Hei Qi, you can't do this to me." Hei Gu was frightened.
"I..."
"If she dies, you," Feng Qishi said, remembering Hei Gu's words, and not intending to leave. "You won't escape either."
"But... if she doesn't die, I will always have..." Hei Qi stopped speaking.
"Both of us can see that her relationship with Ouyang Ye is not ordinary. If you eliminate her, it will not benefit you, but will rather harm you. Of course," Feng Qishi said expressionlessly, "even if I am willing to take the blame for you, with Ouyang Ye's abilities, he should not believe it was me. You will have to pay a price for this. Do you think it's worth it?"
Hei Gu became excited upon hearing Feng Qishi speak for her. "Yes, do you think it's worth it?"
"Shut up." Hei Qi glanced at Hei Gu and still lowered his hand.
Feng Qishi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hei Qi retract his hand.
Seeing this, Hei Gu also breathed a sigh of relief.
