"You're the one who doesn't understand." Mu Anxiao retorted, "You're the one who changed your mind at the last minute."
Wan Sha looked at Mu Anxiao, who insisted on saying that one sentence to provoke her, and took a deep breath. "You go first, I won't argue with you."
Feng Qishi also had an impression of the immortal Wan Sha had mentioned earlier. He began to recall as he had nothing else to do.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi at the same time, hesitated, and said, "I haven't thought it through yet."
"You mean you're playing me."
"I don't mean that. I just genuinely haven't thought it through."
"You claim you haven't thought it through. I think," Wan Sha's face turned cold, "you're doing this on purpose."
"..." Mu Anxiao hadn't wanted to be so blunt and had hoped to save some face for Wan Sha with Mu Xiang. Now it seemed unnecessary. "Fine, I'll tell you the truth."
"Speak," Mu Xiang tilted her chin.
Mu Anxiao sighed lightly, "If I give you ten years, and you commit evil deeds during this time, wouldn't I suffer along with you?"
"What I do has nothing to do with you."
"You ask what it has to do with me. During this period, I might run into you. Would you have me ignore you, or what? No one can predict the future. Perhaps my master will assign an immortal to supervise me. If I get reported, won't I suffer?"
Wan Sha hadn't expected Mu Anxiao to think so complicatedly. After a moment of speechlessness, she said, "As long as I don't commit evil in front of you, isn't that enough?"
"No."
"Then what do you want?"
"It's precisely because I don't know how to solve this problem that I need to think."
"You, thinking? During these ten years, won't it be enough if I don't appear before you?"
Mu Anxiao: "What if we run into each other?"
Wan Sha laughed, "I doubt we'd be that destined, would we?"
"No one can say for sure. Just like this matter now, I didn't invite you, yet you came," Mu Anxiao pointed at Wan Sha.
Wan Sha bit her lip and looked at Mu Anxiao's obviously hesitant face. She didn't press further. "Alright, you think." Then, she looked at Mu Xiang. "Let's go."
"Wait." This time, it was Mu Anxiao who blocked Wan Sha.
Wan Sha looked confused, "What are you doing?"
"You weren't the only one who made that wall disappear just now. I also contributed, so it's half yours and half mine," Mu Anxiao pointed at Wan Sha and then at herself.
Wan Sha laughed, "You've calculated your odds quite well."
"Don't praise me yet," Mu Anxiao said, "What I want to say is, five years." She held up five fingers.
Wan Sha was taken aback, "Five years?"
"Otherwise? I also took action."
"Five years," Wan Sha sneered. "Mu Anxiao, you're too cunning. I asked for ten years, and you've cut it in half. Are you playing me?"
"As a form of atonement, you've only done this much. I'm giving you five years of freedom, and you're still not happy."
"You..." Wan Sha was truly angered by Mu Anxiao. "You're reneging."
"Once I've thought of the terms, we'll exchange them, and this five years will be activated," Mu Anxiao completely ignored Wan Sha's words, reached out, and patted her shoulder. "I won't waste any more time with you. We're leaving first." After speaking, she glanced at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi remembered the consequences of using demonic arts and his heart sank. He came to Mu Anxiao's side, deciding not to speak for now.
Then, Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi bypassed Wan Sha. After only a few steps, Wan Sha had an idea and quickly turned around to look at Mu Anxiao's retreating figure, shouting, "You stop right there."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao cooperatively stopped and turned to look at Wan Sha who had suddenly called her. "Is something wrong?" Yue E-book
Wan Sha thought about her ten-year plan and Mu Anxiao's words. She said, "You just mentioned atonement."
"I said it, so what?"
"If I do something to help you," Wan Sha said, "can you give me another five years?"
"It depends on what it is."
"Fine, I'll help you save someone. Is that acceptable?"
"You?" Mu Anxiao clearly didn't believe Wan Sha would be so kind.
"I just want my freedom," Wan Sha said firmly and walked up to Mu Anxiao, stopping in front of her. "I'll help you save someone."
However, the moment Wan Sha uttered the word "save," Mu Xiang remembered the voice of the Mu family's sister-in-law just now. Then, thinking of her brother, whose leg she had broken, her eyes darkened, and she asked, "Can I go with you?"
"..." Wan Sha didn't respond.
Mu Anxiao also ignored Mu Xiang and said, "You said it."
"Yes, I did," Wan Sha nodded.
"Alright, I promise you." As she spoke, Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi. "Do me a favor."
"Speak," Feng Qishi uttered a monotonous word.
"Go send her back," Mu Anxiao pointed at Mu Xiang, who had been ignored.
Mu Xiang was stunned and quickly ran to Wan Sha's side. "I'll go with you."
Wan Sha glanced at Mu Xiang, then at Mu Anxiao, who was about to return her ten years of freedom, and hesitated. "You'll have to ask her about this."
"I only listen to you," Mu Xiang stared intently at Wan Sha's profile.
Wan Sha glanced at Mu Xiang and said, "Mu Anxiao, what do you think?"
"You follow..."
Mid-sentence, Mu Xiang immediately took out the jade stone from her embrace. "I have this." She held the jade stone up in front of Mu Anxiao.
Instantly, Mu Anxiao's eyes widened the moment she saw the jade stone.
Seeing this, Wan Sha asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Qishi also noticed the change in Mu Anxiao's expression and frowned.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Wan Sha and reached out to take the jade stone, but Mu Xiang withdrew her hand. "Therefore, I won't be a burden to you."
Mu Anxiao's gaze remained fixed on the jade stone as she asked, "Who gave this to you?"
Wan Sha: "Her mother's遺物 (relics)."
"Her mother?" Mu Anxiao repeated, glancing at Wan Sha, who answered for Mu Xiang, then fixed her gaze on the jade stone in Mu Xiang's hand and asked, "What was your mother's name?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?" Mu Anxiao asked back, her gaze fixed on Mu Xiang's face, remaining silent.
Mu Xiang averted her gaze.
Feng Qishi: "You know this jade stone?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's eyes flickered slightly. "I don't recognize it."
"Don't recognize it? Then why are you so agitated?" Wan Sha said faintly.
Mu Anxiao hadn't fully recalled the true origin of this jade stone, but it certainly looked familiar, so familiar that it reminded her of childhood memories.
Then, as this memory was awakened, a blurry figure of a little boy appeared in her mind. The little boy dangled the jade stone in front of Mu Anxiao's eyes a few times and then said, "I won't give it to you."
