"Are you really alright?" Yin Cha observed Mu Anxiao's face, feeling a touch of pity as he asked.
"What do you mean by that?" Mu Anxiao wondered why Yin Cha would ask such a question.
"He's your own brother, and he fell into that abyss while looking for you. Don't you..." he said, "feel any guilt?"
"Guilt?"
Of course, Mu Anxiao felt guilty. If she hadn't been so playful back then, Mu Xi wouldn't have ended up like this, wouldn't have become a lonely spirit, and wouldn't have been exploited by the vine spirit.
Thinking of all these things, she couldn't help but shed tears.
Feng Qishi looked down at Mu Anxiao, his heart sinking. He reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't blame yourself. This was also his fate."
"If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have met this fate. Shen Fengzi," Mu Anxiao looked up at Feng Qishi, "take me back to the past."
"What?"
"I want to save him, really..." Mu Anxiao could no longer hold back her tears. "He used to be so good, he was the brother who treated me the best in the entire family, and now he's..." She cried, "He's become like this... it's all my fault... If... if I hadn't gotten lost, he wouldn't have gone to find me, and if he hadn't gone to find me, he wouldn't have died. If he hadn't died... he wouldn't be like this now. It's all because of me, all because of me." She reached out and grabbed Feng Qishi's sleeve.
Yin Cha watched Mu Anxiao's near-collapse, his eyes darkening.
"I beg you, take me back to the past, please, Shen Fengzi." Mu Anxiao clutched Feng Qishi's sleeve tightly.
Feng Qishi looked down at Mu Anxiao's tightly clenched hand on his sleeve, then at her pleading eyes and tear-streaked face, and said, "I'll... try."
"You're crazy." Yin Cha became anxious.
Feng Qishi looked at Yin Cha. "Believing it won't change much... will it!" He didn't want Mu Anxiao to live in self-reproach, so he agreed.
"If one person is changed, then the fate of others, including everything else, will also change. You can't do this," Yin Cha said agitatedly.
"This..."
"If you continue to stop us," Mu Anxiao gave Yin Cha a deadly glare, "I'll make you lose your job as Yin Cha."
Yin Cha sneered, "If you change this, I might really not be able to become Yin Cha."
"You're so selfish."
"It's not that I'm selfish. Don't you think about it, Mu Xi has been dead for so many years, he..."
"Enough, what's the use of explaining this to her?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao and the others turned their gazes to Hei Feng, who had just walked in from the door. "Why are you here?" Mu Anxiao asked.
Hei Feng: "We don't know the details of what happened in the past. Your brother..." He took a sharp breath, "doesn't seem to have died looking for you."
One moment they say he died looking for Mu Anxiao, the next they say he didn't die looking for Mu Anxiao?
What were they even saying? In the end, Mu Anxiao was being played for a fool by them.
Thinking about it, Mu Anxiao was indignant. "I don't believe you."
Hei Feng: "Hey, you don't even believe my words? We're partners."
Hearing this, Feng Qishi looked at Hei Feng with a cold expression. "She and I are partners."
"..." Hei Feng was momentarily speechless, then nodded. "Fine, let's say you're her partner, and I'm the one assigning her tasks, alright?"
"Alright." Feng Qishi, with a childlike demeanor, looked down at Mu Anxiao, who was still clutching his sleeve tightly, and asked, "What are you planning to do?"
"I want to go," Mu Anxiao said firmly.
Hei Feng: "You have no right to change anyone's past, including your brother's past."
"Who said I want to change his past?" Mu Anxiao didn't want to listen to Hei Feng's nonsense, so she changed her meaning. "I just want to see what exactly happened at that time." She released Feng Qishi's sleeve, raised her arm, and wiped the tears from her face.
"...." Hei Feng was speechless.
Feng Qishi looked at Hei Feng's speechless expression and then at Mu Anxiao's determined look. He suddenly remembered his own insignificant magic and said, "Well, my magic is limited. Even if you want to change it, you won't be able to."
Mu Anxiao: "I said, I'm going to look, I didn't say..."
"Your thoughts are hard for others to guess, but I can still guess them. You just want to see. If he was saving you, you'll help, and if not..." Feng Qishi placed a hand on Mu Anxiao's shoulder, "you'll withdraw."
As Feng Qishi said, Mu Anxiao did think this way.
"...." She lost the courage to see him.
Based on Mu Xi's selfish behavior, Hei Feng was certain that Mu Xi was definitely not that selfless. Therefore, Mu Anxiao's rescue plan was certainly not feasible.
However, thinking about Mu Xi's current behavior, he was truly worried that Mu Anxiao might see something she shouldn't in the past. He began to worry if Mu Anxiao could withstand such a blow.
So, he hesitated and said, "Fantasy is beautiful, but reality is cruel. You might see things that will be a blow to you. Are you sure you want to go?"
"After all these years, I've been through storms and rains, I..."
"You've been through storms and rains, but as soon as your brother appeared, you became more humane, and not only that," Hei Feng interrupted, "but also so emotional." He tried to persuade Mu Anxiao to stop.
For decades, Mu Anxiao had been forcing herself to become unfeeling, precisely to better complete all the tasks assigned to her by Hei Feng.
And now, because of Mu Xi, she was becoming sentimental again.
Thinking about it, her heart couldn't help but become anxious. "I want to see the past clearly so that I can stop thinking about the past. Besides, I'm human, and of course, I should have feelings."
"You didn't say that before," Hei Feng intentionally provoked Mu Anxiao.
"Before is before. People change, and I change too. Besides..." Mu Anxiao said, "I haven't changed. I just want to repay a favor."
"Do you really want to save him?" Yin Cha suddenly interjected.
Mu Anxiao turned to look at Yin Cha. Just as she was about to speak, Hei Feng said, "You'll definitely be disappointed. Some things cannot be changed, Mu Anxiao. Don't be too confident."
"Some things indeed cannot be changed. If they were to be changed, it would involve many things," the wolf demon said with deep feeling. "It might even change your destiny, as well as the destiny of others."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked at the wolf demon. "What do you mean by that?"
The wolf demon: "...." He looked at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi's eyes darkened. "If it were to change, you wouldn't have met us. You might have new friends, perhaps... have your own family, and thus our destinies," he mused, "might also change drastically because of you."
"Why is it that when it comes to me, so much changes?" Mu Anxiao was puzzled.
