Ouyang Ye sensed Mu Anxiao's movements. "No matter how far away you are, I can find you."
Mu Anxiao showed a look of disgust...
Ouyang Ye saw the disgusted expression that Mu Anxiao suddenly revealed, and instead of getting angry, he smiled. "I knew you would have this expression."
"Since you know, then don't say such..." Mu Anxiao was worried that Ouyang Ye might suddenly change his tune, so she swallowed the word 'disgusting' that was on her lips. After thinking for a moment, she continued, "Such things that make me dislike you." After speaking, she smiled.
Ouyang Ye smiled.
Immediately, seeing Ouyang Ye smile like this, Mu Anxiao withdrew the smile from her face, looked into the distance, and asked, "Are the birds here all monsters? All demons?"
"Want to know..."
"I don't like beating around the bush," Mu Anxiao interrupted Ouyang Ye and continued to gaze into the distance.
Ouyang Ye: "In this respect, you are quite like me."
Hearing Ouyang Ye's words, Mu Anxiao paused for a few seconds. "Then say it directly." As she spoke, she endured her aversion to Ouyang Ye and turned to look at him.
"Yes, they are all demons and monsters, but I never paid any attention to those monsters."
"You have hidden meanings in your words," Mu Anxiao heard something.
Ouyang Ye smiled. "Since you've heard it, then cultivate here properly. I hope that in the future..." He stopped halfway, frowning suddenly.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao showed a confused expression, just like Ouyang Ye. "What's wrong with you?" xxs壹贰
"Why is your spiritual energy gone?" As he asked, Ouyang Ye suddenly stepped forward, reaching out to clasp Mu Anxiao's shoulders.
Mu Anxiao's body stiffened. She glanced uncomfortably at the hands Ouyang Ye had placed on her shoulders and said, "I've told you, when I was in the water, it was my spiritual energy protecting me. Perhaps at that time," she froze, "it was used up."
"Before, when you had no spiritual energy, I couldn't recognize you. How can I still recognize you now?" Ouyang Ye doubted this matter.
Mu Anxiao knew clearly that she had always relied on the spells of Zhang Yan and Feng Qi Shi to suppress her spiritual energy. With their help, she was protected by them, so naturally Ouyang Ye couldn't detect who she was. Now, however, she was hiding her spiritual energy by her own means. Without the protection of other spells, it couldn't cover anything. Therefore, she didn't take Ouyang Ye's doubts to heart.
"Think about it yourself," Mu Anxiao said, taking two steps back.
Just like that, Ouyang Ye fell into thought.
Not long after.
Wang Hu appeared behind them with the Vine Demon, the Wolf Demon, and Xiao Yi. At this time, Ouyang Ye was still thinking about that problem...
Mu Anxiao glanced at Ouyang Ye, who was still thinking intently, then turned to look at them and waved. "They're here." As she spoke, she noticed that the Wolf Demon seemed a bit off, so she walked up and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
At the same time, the Wolf Demon, who was looking around, snapped back to attention the moment Mu Anxiao asked the question. "It's here." He fixed his gaze on Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao was bewildered, but also curious about the Wolf Demon's words. "Have you been here before?"
The Wolf Demon grunted and said, "Yes, I have. It was the monsters here who tricked me into a competition." Saying this, he turned around... and looked at the thousand-tiered steps.
Hearing the Wolf Demon's words, Mu Anxiao realized that this place was definitely not a good place. So she lowered her gaze, thought for a moment, then turned to look at Ouyang Ye, who was still standing by the stone railing thinking, and called out, "Ouyang Ye."
Wang Hu and Xiao Yi, hearing this, both broke into a cold sweat for Mu Anxiao.
Immediately, Ouyang Ye's thoughts were pulled back by Mu Anxiao's call. "What is it?" He turned to Mu Anxiao.
"Come here, I have a question for you." Mu Anxiao beckoned.
At once, Wang Hu and Xiao Yi hastily lowered their heads as if to pay respects.
The Vine Demon, seeing this, quickly imitated their actions.
Conversely, Ouyang Ye completely ignored the three of them and walked directly to Mu Anxiao's side. "Before you ask me a question, tell me, why are you this..."
"My spiritual energy was hidden by spells before. Now it's all wasted, so you can recognize me. Understand?" Mu Anxiao knew that Ouyang Ye was going to ask her this question, so she casually came up with a reason... to placate him.
Ouyang Ye was speechless upon hearing this...
Mu Anxiao looked at Ouyang Ye, who couldn't figure out the problem and was embarrassed by being 'slapped in the face' by her. She raised an eyebrow. "Alright, can I ask you my question now?"
Ouyang Ye nodded, completely understanding the spiritual energy issue.
Seeing Ouyang Ye's cooperation, Mu Anxiao cleared her throat and said, "Was there a competition here some time ago?"
"Yes." Ouyang Ye nodded, then thought for a moment and hurriedly added, "But I wasn't here, so I don't know what they specifically competed on."
Mu Anxiao let out an "Oh."
Upon hearing this, the Wolf Demon turned and looked at Ouyang Ye.
However, Ouyang Ye did not pay attention to the Wolf Demon. Instead, he continued to stare at Mu Anxiao, who had only uttered "Oh," and retorted, "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, it's just... he participated, but lost, and he's not convinced." Mu Anxiao deliberately drew the Wolf Demon into the conversation.
Hearing this, Ouyang Ye finally shifted his gaze to the Wolf Demon's face.
Immediately, the Wolf Demon said indignantly, "There was definitely foul play."
"Foul play?" Ouyang Ye was confused by the Wolf Demon's words.
"It means unfair," Mu Anxiao explained for the Wolf Demon.
Hearing this, the Wolf Demon nodded. "Yes, that's exactly what it means." His attitude was very serious.
Ouyang Ye looked at the Wolf Demon's serious expression, then at Mu Anxiao, who was very prejudiced against the Cultivation Sect, and his eyes darkened. He said, "I need to tell you something." He then shifted his gaze back to Mu Anxiao's face.
Mu Anxiao frowned. "Why do you suddenly want to tell me something?"
"Don't you particularly dislike Xie Shou?" Ouyang Ye asked.
Mu Anxiao grunted. "Yes, he is a member of the Demon Cultivation Sect, and I dislike him very much. But," she said sternly, "even if I dislike him, I won't seek personal revenge. Don't think I harmed him."
"Demon Cultivation Sect?" Ouyang Ye repeated, then thought for a moment, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm going to tell you something. I hope you won't overreact."
"Speak," Mu Anxiao sensed that... this matter was definitely related to the Cultivation Sect.
"Here, the elder here was once a member of the Cultivation Sect," Ouyang Ye said calmly. Under the influence of the Wolf Demon, he dared not conceal anything from Mu Anxiao.
