Chapter 2461 Unmasking the Truth

To Mu Anxiao’s direct reply, the man didn’t have any new thoughts. Instead, he accepted Mu Anxiao’s directness and said faintly, “You said it.”

“I said it.” Mu Anxiao nodded.

The man looked at Mu Anxiao’s resolute expression, then glanced at Jiong Ye and the wolf demon on the other side, whose faces were filled with anxiety from not hearing any sound. He then said, “Whether you believe me or not is your business, but there are some things I must say, and you have to listen to me.”

“We’re not close, are we?” Mu Anxiao said coldly.

“Not close,” the man replied, meeting Mu Anxiao’s eyes. “But because our statuses are the same, I can only say these words to you.”

“Who’s status…”

“As you said, I am also an immortal.” The man said, suddenly reaching out to Mu Anxiao.

Immediately, Mu Anxiao lowered her head and stared at the man’s single hand for a few seconds, then smiled. “Do you think you’re being very sincere, very earnest?” As she spoke, she looked up at the man again.

The man frowned slightly. “What do you mean by that?”

“Although I am not some powerful immortal, I have met the immortals who live in the mortal realm. If you want me to believe you,” Mu Anxiao said, pointing to the black hat covering the man’s head, “then show me your true face.”

“You…”

“What do you mean, ‘you’? I already gave you a chance just now, but you didn’t cherish it, so don’t blame me.” Mu Anxiao interrupted.

Conversely, the man was completely confused. “When did I give you a chance? I’m only revealing my status now.”

“Think carefully.” Mu Anxiao tilted her chin up.

“Think…”

“Magic.” Mu Anxiao reminded him simply.

Magic?

After repeating the words “magic” in his mouth a couple of times, the man recalled something he had denied not long ago.

However, even so, the man made no reaction and continued to calmly reply, “I have admitted it now, and this can be considered making amends.”

“You really know how to make excuses for yourself.” Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes.

The man looked at Mu Anxiao’s expression of disdain, then thought about his reaction just now in front of the wolf demon and Jiong Ye. He said in a low voice, “I couldn’t admit my identity in front of them. If you…”

“When did you arrive?” Mu Anxiao, too lazy to listen to the man’s explanation, interrupted him.

“You believe me now.” The man was somewhat startled by Mu Anxiao’s sudden change in attitude.

Mu Anxiao cleared her throat and said, “Only immortals can set up barriers in various places. I still understand this much.”

However, the man didn’t expect Mu Anxiao’s reaction to be so calm. Looking at her now, he became curious. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll implicate you?”

“You can conceal your magic, which shows you still have some power,” Mu Anxiao said, adopting a casual posture. “Now I just want to know, when did you arrive?”

“Just now.” The man told the truth.

Mu Anxiao frowned. “Since you just arrived, why aren’t you trying to get familiar with this place, but instead want to kill the wolf demon? You…” She narrowed her eyes. “Do you have a grudge against the wolf demon?”

“No grudge.”

“No grudge, then why are you killing him?” Mu Anxiao suddenly couldn’t understand the man.

“I want to find a helper.” The man said simply.

Immediately, Mu Anxiao couldn’t help but repeat the word ‘helper’ in her mouth and laughed.

The man, hearing this, became confused. “What are you laughing at?”

“If I’m not mistaken, the monster you’re helping is an insect, right?” Mu Anxiao had roughly guessed who it was.

Insect…

The man, hearing Mu Anxiao’s sudden words, didn’t react immediately and stood there stunned.

Mu Anxiao looked at the man’s reaction and casually placed one hand on her waist. “The monster you want to help is the bee spirit, isn’t it?” She reminded him helplessly.

“…” The man was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

“…” Mu Anxiao intentionally didn’t speak.

Seeing Mu Anxiao’s silence, the man also became confused. “Why aren’t you talking anymore?”

“To blindly help without even finding out the full story, you’re really something,” Mu Anxiao cupped her hands. “I’m impressed, truly impressed.”

“I know who he is, it’s just that you suddenly said it like that, and I was a bit taken aback,” the man said calmly.

Mu Anxiao snorted, “It’s this point in time, don’t try to prove how smart you are. Anyway,” she said, “I won’t let you kill the wolf demon.”

“How do you know I want to kill him?” The man didn’t remember saying these words.

“You said it,” Mu Anxiao replied casually.

The man was stunned and frowned. “I didn’t tell you…”

“You really want to kill him.” Mu Anxiao had intended to trick the man into talking, but unexpectedly, she managed to extract the truth as they spoke. She was also surprised by this.

The man looked at Mu Anxiao’s astonished expression, then realized he still couldn’t hide the truth. He swallowed and had no choice but to tell the truth. “After my observations of that bee, it seems he is the most amenable to bribery, so I made this decision.”

“Completing your mission is one thing, but you can’t just kill monsters.”

“The monsters here have all committed mistakes, and their deaths are not regrettable,” the man said faintly.

Hearing the man’s nonchalant words, and thinking of his imposing arrival just now, Mu Anxiao let out a cold snort and said, “The wolf demon is my friend. If you dare to touch him even a little, I will never forgive you.”

“Since you are for a monster…”

“Yes, I am for a monster. If you dare to touch him, I’m not done with you.” Mu Anxiao interrupted.

The man fell silent the moment Mu Anxiao finished speaking.

Meanwhile.

Jiong Ye and the wolf demon, both looking at the two people on the other side who were only gesturing and not speaking, frowned in confusion.

Subsequently, based on this scene, the wolf demon became frightened. “You say, he won’t kill me, will he?” He also thought of the man’s imposing demeanor.

Hearing the wolf demon’s words, Jiong Ye considered the man’s abilities, his eyes darkened, and he whispered, “As long as he doesn’t hand you over, he can’t do anything.”

“You’re actually going to help me, that’s amazing,” the wolf demon exclaimed.

Jiong Ye smiled. “Being able to be locked up together is also a kind of fate.”

“You…”

“Besides, if you die, Ouyang Ye will definitely suspect me first. I can’t be targeted by him again,” Jiong Ye said narcissistically.

The wolf demon had never thought about what kind of person or monster Jiong Ye was. Now, hearing him say this, he had a new understanding of Jiong Ye. He turned to stare at Jiong Ye, a mocking expression appearing on his face.

At the same time, Jiong Ye happened to look back at the wolf demon’s face. “What’s with that fake smile of yours?”

“Ouyang Ye doesn’t even take you seriously, so don’t be so narcissistic, brother.” The wolf demon patted Jiong Ye on the shoulder.

“Don’t say that, anything is possible,” Jiong Ye said, completely unfazed.
