No, he's a good person, and I don't want to see him become a puppet of the wolf demon. To lure the wolf demon into a trap, I'll still go to school.
You really do love meddling in other people's affairs.
I only concern myself with matters I deem worthwhile, so it's not meddling.
Alright, alright, you're always right. Zhang Yan finished speaking in his mind and walked gracefully towards Uncle Chen.
Uncle Chen nodded slightly and said, "Hello there, sir."
Zhang Yan smiled. "Close your eyes."
"Huh?" Uncle Chen was startled.
"My grandfather wants to treat your illness, so you should cooperate," Mu Anxiao said softly.
Hearing Mu Anxiao's serious tone, Uncle Chen obediently closed his eyes.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Zhang Yan and stepped back a few paces.
Zhang Yan also looked at Mu Anxiao, then extended two fingers and gently tapped Uncle Chen's forehead. Unbeknownst to him, Uncle Chen fell asleep.
"Is this kid the biology teacher who called me?" Zhang Yan turned to Mu Anxiao and asked.
"Yes," Mu Anxiao replied.
"You're truly remarkable. I've been searching for this boy for decades without success, and you've managed to find him as soon as you arrived."
"You were looking for him?" Mu Anxiao was surprised.
"When he woke up, I told him not to watch horror movies. I thought he was a boy who learned his lesson, so I stopped paying attention. In recent years, however, weaker demons have reported that someone saw them, but they couldn't say who it was. That's when I suspected this boy and started searching. But I didn't have any good magical artifacts, so I couldn't find him. Who knew you were so capable!" Zhang Yan gave Mu Anxiao a thumbs-up.
"You just called me meddlesome, and now you're praising me. I truly don't understand you," Mu Anxiao said calmly.
"If we keep talking like this, this fellow will become suspicious," Zhang Yan said, pointing at Uncle Chen.
"Hurry up and treat him," Mu Anxiao urged.
"Come here," Zhang Yan beckoned.
Mu Anxiao pursed his lips and walked over to Zhang Yan. "What is it?"
"Use your eyes to find the residual demon core within him."
Mu Anxiao looked at Zhang Yan, then scanned Uncle Chen's body. Finally, he found the remnants in his brain. "Why is it there?"
"I put it there. If I hadn't, the demon core would have been digested in his body, and he would have seen even more terrifying monsters."
"You caused this, and now you're making me find it," Mu Anxiao said impatiently.
"I just forgot the exact location," Zhang Yan said. "Anyway, what we can do now is… force out that remnant, and then you can erase his memories."
"You do it," Mu Anxiao gestured towards Uncle Chen.
"No, I can't control the power of my magic right now. If I try, I'll hurt his brain. Only you can do it."
Zhang Yan pointed at Mu Anxiao.
"I can't," Mu Anxiao said softly.
"I'll teach you."
"I..."
"If you want him to escape the wolf demon, you have to do this," Zhang Yan said with certainty.
"I..."
"Stop with the 'I'. I'll move him to the sofa now, and you just listen to me," Zhang Yan said, stepping forward and easily lifting Uncle Chen onto his shoulder.
Mu Anxiao moved aside, looking down at his palm, which was slowly emitting a blue light. "I can't," he said.
