Fake Lin Yan: "What do you mean by that? Aren't you daring?"
Wan Sha: "I'm not daring, that's why I came to you."
Fake Lin Yan sensed something else in Wan Sha's words and his expression stiffened. "What do you mean?"
"If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who personally gave the dagger to Feng Qishi. So, if you ask for it back," Wan Sha smiled, "he should give it to you."
"Impossible."
"Impossible?" Wan Sha narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
"I can feel that he is already suspicious of me. If I go and ask him for the dagger now," Fake Lin Yan said earnestly, "he will only distrust me more."
"How do you know he suspects you?"
"A feeling."
"Only women's sixth sense is accurate. Yours," Wan Sha said, "is completely useless."
"It's not a sixth sense, it's just a feeling."
"You..."
"If I'm not mistaken, Mu Anxiao has already realized that I am fake."
"I know."
"You know?"
"Mu Anxiao saw you in the woods today, but you don't need to worry. She's gone down now. Even if she wanted to see Feng Qishi, it's impossible. You just focus on being his disciple."
"I definitely won't be able to get the dagger."
"Do your best. I'm leaving." Wan Sha turned and left.
Fake Lin Yan watched Wan Sha's disappearing figure with lingering fear, sighed, and was about to leave when the wolf demon jumped down from the rooftop, landing in front of him. "Hello there."
Fake Lin Yan stopped, startled. "Why are you here?"
"Imposter."
"..." Fake Lin Yan narrowed his eyes.
"Mu Anxiao has already seen through you. Do you really think you can become an immortal?" The wolf demon deliberately provoked Fake Lin Yan, intending to stall for time.
Fake Lin Yan: "Oh dear, I've been found out."
"You know you've been found out, yet you're still pretending."
Fake Lin Yan smirked evilly. "I like it. You wolf demon, do you think Feng Qishi will trust you?"
"No, but I saw it."
"You saw what?"
"Last night, you were the one holding that dagger, killing those people. Imposter," the wolf demon said, "you're even more ruthless than me." As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Fake Lin Yan's arm.
Fake Lin Yan stiffened. "What are you doing?"
"What else? I'm going to expose you now." The wolf demon said, forcefully pulling Fake Lin Yan in one direction.
Fake Lin Yan, still worried about being exposed, yelled, "Help!" as the wolf demon pulled.
Wolf Demon: "Go ahead and yell for them to come. Then, I'll tell them all that it was you who killed those beggars. That will save me a lot of trouble."
Hearing the wolf demon's words, Fake Lin Yan stopped struggling and said, "What do you want?"
"I don't want anything. I just can't stand you. I just saw Mu Anxiao."
"And then?"
"You've really made her suffer. So," the wolf demon said seriously, "I strongly suspect that your appearance is intended to kill Mu Anxiao."
"..." Fake Lin Yan sneered.
Wolf Demon: "I was right, that's why you're smiling."
"I don't understand what you're saying?" Fake Lin Yan said, glancing at someone walking past behind the wolf demon.
"..." The wolf demon glanced at the passing stranger, then turned back to Fake Lin Yan. "Imposter, are you a demon soul or something else?"
"I am Lin Yan."
"You're truly shameless saying that."
"..." Fake Lin Yan couldn't be bothered to argue with the wolf demon any longer.
Wolf Demon: "..." He stared coldly at Fake Lin Yan, deliberately freezing in place with him.
Street.
Mu Anxiao followed the grim reaper, glancing at the people passing by. "Alas, you should at least make me invisible. Everyone thinks I'm crazy."
Grim Reaper: "I don't have that ability."
"What can you do?" Mu Anxiao said, looking down at the black rope binding her tightly, and sighed.
The grim reaper said as he walked, "When you're not talking to me, you're a normal person. The moment you speak to me, you become crazy. So," he turned to look at Mu Anxiao, "how people see you depends on your actions."
"..." Mu Anxiao pursed her lips. Her gaze unintentionally fell upon Lin Yan not far away. "Stop."
At that moment, a young man passing by Mu Anxiao paused and looked at her with surprise. "Miss, is there something you need?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao regained her senses and focused on the young man's face, smiling awkwardly. "I wasn't calling you."
"Oh." The young man, still feeling uneasy, nodded and quickly walked away.
Mu Anxiao watched the young man disappear, then stepped forward. Ensuring no one else was passing, she whispered, "Wait a moment." She gestured towards Lin Yan.
The grim reaper followed Mu Anxiao's finger, glanced at Lin Yan, and said helplessly, "Hurry up."
"That depends on him," Mu Anxiao said. She looked around, then her gaze landed on an empty stall nearby. "Come here." She tugged at the black rope and turned towards the stall.
Immediately, she and the grim reaper squatted beneath the stall. "Don't speak," she warned, peering cautiously at Lin Yan, who stood in the middle of the street, letting mortals pass through him. She muttered to herself, "What is he doing?"
The grim reaper squatted behind Mu Anxiao and said, "He might be looking for that wolf demon."
Mu Anxiao glanced at the grim reaper behind her. "I'm not talking to you," she said impatiently. She then turned back to look at Lin Yan and continued her observation.
Grim Reaper: "..." He looked awkward.
Over there.
Lin Yan looked around. Seeing that Fake Lin Yan hadn't returned, he turned and took a couple of steps towards where Feng Qishi was. Suddenly, Wan Sha descended from the sky and landed in front of him, smiling. "You're back."
Seeing this, Lin Yan was startled. "It's you."
The moment Mu Anxiao saw Wan Sha, she was also startled. She wondered why she was here.
Wan Sha: "I've given your body away. Now, that body no longer belongs to you. Scram."
"It's you, all along," Lin Yan said, clenching his fist.
"It is. My goal is to kill Mu Anxiao. You'd better not interfere, or I'll make sure your soul is scattered."
"You are also a demon soul."
"Lin Yan, your ancestor Lin Xian was my enemy. If you take another step forward, I will unleash my hatred for him upon you."
"..." Lin Yan glared at Wan Sha. "That's between you and him. I just want my body back now. Get out of my way."
"No way," Wan Sha said, slowly raising her hands, which glowed red. "Lin Yan, you'd better not test my limits."
"On what grounds do you possess my body?"
