“That’s right, so you should go back.” Shen Yan said with a faint smile.
“Have you forgotten what happened decades ago?” the man in green asked indignantly.
Shen Yan lowered his gaze and said, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“Decades ago, you disobeyed your master’s orders and came down to find a mortal girl with a celestial destiny. Your master was furious and took you back to be confined. Have you forgotten that?”
“Did I come down decades ago?” Shen Yan asked, feigning ignorance.
Hearing Shen Yan’s words, the man in green suddenly remembered that their master had forbidden them to speak of this matter, and his eyes darkened.
Shen Yan calmly watched the man in green’s guilty expression and said, “Go back and tell Master… I will definitely find my other half. Please tell him not to worry.”
“You don’t understand,” the man in green said excitedly.
“What don’t I understand? Tell me,” Shen Yan said, tilting his head.
“You…” The man in green was speechless.
Seizing the opportunity while the man in green was at a loss for words, Shen Yan turned his head to glance at Ye Yin and said, “If possible, I hope you can introduce her to Master, or the Immortal of Destiny.”
The man in green, clearly unable to continue the previous topic, turned to Ye Yin and asked, “Why are you helping her?”
“There’s no reason. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else,” Shen Yan said calmly.
The man in green hesitated for a moment and then said, “Alright, I promise you.”
“Take her away now,” Shen Yan said.
“Now?” the man in green asked in surprise.
Shen Yan glanced at the sky and said, “Just now, some things happened here. One of the women recognized her identity. If she stays here any longer, it won’t be good for her.”
“Senior Brother means… most people here can see demons?” the man in green asked, astonished again.
“Yes, because of that vine spirit, the people here have lived in fear for years. So, I need to resolve the matter here. During this time,” Shen Yan said, “I don’t want you to disturb me.”
“Senior Brother, I find you have changed,” the man in green said with a faint smile.
“How have I changed?”
“In the past, you wouldn’t have bothered with mortal affairs at all, but now you’re going to resolve things for them,” the man in green said. “It’s quite novel.”
“Go,” Shen Yan said coldly.
The man in green nodded, rendering himself speechless, “Fine, Senior Brother, you go ahead and handle these worldly troubles. You’ll regret it one day.” He then looked at Ye Yin and said, “Come with me.”
Ye Yin nodded, said ‘thank you’ to Shen Yan, and stepped forward with the man in green to leave using magic.
Shen Yan tilted his head back to watch the two beams of light fly away and sighed softly, muttering, “I wonder if that Mu An Xiao has really gone to find those girls?” As he spoke, he reached out, opened the door, and walked out.
At the Narcissist Girl’s house, Mu An Xiao sat at the table, looking somewhat uneasy as he asked the Narcissist Girl, who was being particularly attentive to him, “Why did you bring me to your home?”
“Thank you just now,” the Narcissist Girl said, standing by the table and refilling Mu An Xiao’s tea cup. “If it weren’t for you, I probably would have been eaten by that demon.”
“Can you all see demons?” Mu An Xiao scanned the people present and asked.
They all nodded in unison. The Narcissist Girl pretended to sob and said, “We are a cursed village. For decades, we have all been able to see those demonic beings, so you must save us.”
“Have you misunderstood something?” Mu An Xiao asked, looking up at the Narcissist Girl’s overly dramatic expression.
