Mu Anxiao sneered, "You asked me to tell you, this is my impression of you. Of course, before you came out of the rattan spirit, I thought your name was Xiao Lu."
"Xiao Lu?" the man in white repeated unwillingly.
"Your face is green, why call you Xiao Lu... Xiao Hei," Mu Anxiao said flippantly.
"I finally know why I felt annoyed the moment I saw you," the man in white said earnestly.
Mu Anxiao's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "I know, it's because I'm better than you, so you're jealous. This jealousy makes you annoyed when you see me. Of course," she leaned forward, "I think the rattan spirit's instigation played a part. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so foolish as to be used by him, living your life with such empty hatred, and finally sending yourself to hell, right?"
"Can you say one less word," Ye Yin said, watching the changing expression of the man in white.
Mu Anxiao snorted coldly.
The man in white was silent for a moment, then looked up and said, "You're right, I was foolish enough to believe a monster's words, which led me to this point. If possible, I hope you can do me a favor."
"Why should I help you?" Mu Anxiao refused.
"If you help me, I'll give you all my lifelong savings," the man in white said firmly.
Upon hearing about savings, Mu Anxiao's face immediately brightened, "Okay, tell me."
"Tell my parents, they won't have nightmares anymore, and let them live their twilight years in peace," the man in white said with regret in his eyes.
Mu Anxiao chuckled dryly, "It's been decades, your parents might be long dead."
"I had a dream visit from them recently," the man in white said faintly.
"Where are they now?" Mu Anxiao asked reluctantly, glancing with her eyes, whispering, "If it's far, I won't help."
"There's a residence not far from here. They are there."
Seeing that the man in white knew her parents' whereabouts so well, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but ask, "Do you always haunt their dreams to scare them?"
The man in white lowered his head in shame.
"If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you ask me..."
"What right do you have to lecture him," Shen Yan interrupted Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao hesitated, then nodded, "Fine, I won't say anymore. But," she shrugged and smiled, "I'm quite clever. I guessed that you became like this because of your family."
"Aren't you the same?" the man in white said unnaturally.
Mu Anxiao's expression turned serious, "Let's not talk about it. What's your name?"
"My name is Lu Yan."
"Lu Yan, you're not surnamed Bai after all this time. I was thinking of calling you Old Bai, but it seems," Mu Anxiao spread her hands, "that's not going to happen."
"I know your name is Mu Anxiao," Lu Yan said.
Mu Anxiao gave a wry smile, "My name has been revealed by someone, so of course you all know it." She glanced at Shen Yan beside her.
Shen Yan rolled her eyes at Mu Anxiao and held out her hand, producing a chain emitting a dark green light and handing it to the Yin soldier, "The soul of the rattan spirit is inside this. Take it back."
"Isn't this thing mine?" the Yin soldier asked, taking the chain.
Shen Yan glanced at Mu Anxiao and said nothing.
Mu Anxiao looked at the chain and smiled, "I picked it up when I went just now, and then gave it to this guy halfway. I originally intended to return it to you, but..." she faltered, "This thing has been helpful, so you shouldn't dwell on it too much."
