"You really do know her," Mu Anxiao said, looking down at the box. "Want it?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"As a master, I've never given..."
"This dilapidated temple is filled with Lin Yan's memories. He wants you to remember him, so he made this wish. Are you really going to refuse him so heartlessly?"
Fengqishi: "..."
"Why aren't you speaking?" Mu Anxiao asked, watching Fengqishi appear to be thinking.
Fengqishi asked, "Do you think someone like me is worthy?"
"Why are you asking that?"
"I was Lin Yan's master for less than a day. I didn't teach him anything, and he died for me," Fengqishi choked out, shaking his head. "I don't think I'm worthy."
Mu Anxiao looked up at Fengqishi's sad expression and asked, "Are you about to cry?"
Upon hearing this, Fengqishi, fearing Mu Anxiao's mockery, quickly wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes and said, "No." xxs1
"You've finished crying, haven't you?" Mu Anxiao said, sighing. "But speaking of which, I really didn't expect Lin Yan to die."
Fengqishi: "It's all my fault."
"Is it meaningful to blame yourself?"
"Of course it's meaningful. Right now..."
"Enough. You've already killed Gui Xiao. Moreover, I think Lin Yan's ending is quite good. If you ask me," Mu Anxiao said, "he might not have become an immortal even if he stayed with you."
"What do you mean? Looking down on me?" Fengqishi was indignant.
Mu Anxiao rubbed the back of his head. "I'm not looking down on you; I'm speaking the truth. You're still a novice immortal, and you want to guide him. It's simply wishful thinking."
"Can you stop speaking so harshly?"
"I'm telling the truth. In any case, all we can do is give him a proper burial."
"I'm not convinced."
"You're not convinced he's dead?"
"Yes, tell me, where is he now?"
"He's gone below."
"Below?"
"Yes, so you can't see him. And, if you ask me," Mu Anxiao pursed her lips, "this is quite good for him. Think about it, he's a descendant of that scoundrel from Lin County. What if one day Wan Sha suddenly feels Lin Yan owes her and goes to find him? Wouldn't Lin Yan be in trouble?"
"Are you trying to comfort me?"
"Sort of."
"..." Fengqishi looked down at Mu Anxiao for a few seconds, then dropped the subject. "Mu the fool, I thought you wouldn't cry for me."
"Why are we talking about this again?"
"No reason. What are you going to do now?"
"Write your name on it, then go find Lin Yan and press your handprint."
"Press..." Fengqishi uttered a syllable and then exclaimed in shock, "You're going to press Lin Yan's finger directly onto it."
"Yes."
"You are utterly wicked."
"I..." Mu Anxiao had long expected to be criticized if she did this, but she hadn't expected the person to say it would be Fengqishi. It seemed she was also sad. "As you wish."
"If you do this..."
"Lin Yan asked me to do it."
Hearing this, Fengqishi paused for a moment and said, "Since it's my disciple's wish, then I should fulfill it."
"Let's begin."
"Mm."
The mourning hall.
As Mu Anxiao had predicted, Wan Sha had already locked onto Lin Yan.
At this moment, she walked through the bodies of the mourners one by one and approached Lin Yan's body. She looked down at Lin Yan's face, which resembled a deep sleep, and narrowed her eyes. "Such a good body, wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?" As she spoke, she swung her arm to the side. The next moment, the white cloth covering Lin Yan was instantly lifted and fell to the ground.
Immediately, the candlelight flickered. The people who had been dozing nearby instantly woke up, turned their heads towards Lin Yan, and then began to scream.
At this moment, Lin Yan was propped up by Wan Sha using sorcery, making him look extremely eerie.
Hearing the screams of that person, the other five mourners all shifted their gaze.
The next moment, they all screamed in unison, supporting each other, and fled the scene.
After they left, Wan Sha put Lin Yan down and looked towards Mu Anxiao and Fengqishi, who were approaching with a torch, and smiled. She then turned to the twenty-year-old ghost walking out of the darkness and smiled, "I am your savior. Remember that."
The ghost: "I know."
"Here, this body is yours."
"Thank you," the ghost nodded.
"Alright, impersonate Lin Yan well, and absolutely do not reveal any flaws, otherwise, you'll only end up being killed by Fengqishi."
"But, he has wounds on him."
"You're so troublesome," Wan Sha said, holding out her hand and conjuring a green pill. She stepped forward, pried open Lin Yan's mouth, and placed the pill inside.
The next second, as a green light emanated from Lin Yan's body, his wounds healed.
Seeing this, the ghost smiled, "Thank you." Saying this, he entered the body.
Wan Sha: "Perform well. Ideally, you'll get rid of Mu Anxiao." After saying this, she disappeared.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao and Fengqishi had approached this area, but they hadn't noticed Wan Sha.
The next moment, Mu Anxiao stopped beside Lin Yan and looked around, asking, "Strange? Why isn't anyone here?"
"Exactly," Fengqishi said, stepping forward and looking down at the white cloth on the ground. He said, "Something's wrong."
Gu Xiao said, "Indeed, something's wrong."
A Xia: "There's demonic energy." She sniffed the air.
Mu Anxiao looked to both sides, then down at the soil on the ground, saying, "The person is fine." As she spoke, her gaze unintentionally fell on Lin Yan's abdomen, and she called out, "Shen the madman, come here for a moment."
Fengqishi: "..." He walked to Mu Anxiao's side.
Mu Anxiao: "Look." She pointed to Lin Yan's stomach.
Immediately, Fengqishi followed Mu Anxiao's finger and looked down, exclaiming in shock, "It's healed."
"Healed?" Mu Anxiao repeated, turning to Fengqishi. "How is that possible?"
Fengqishi: "..." He shook his head, indicating his confusion.
"Why is it like this?" Mu Anxiao looked perplexed, then glanced at the paper in her hand, her brow furrowing.
Immediately, the ghost, using Lin Yan's body, slowly opened his eyes. "Master."
Hearing this, Fengqishi was startled, then looked down at the fake Lin Yan and smiled, "Disciple, you... you're alive."
The fake Lin Yan sat up and, imitating Lin Yan's tone, said, "Yes, the underworld officials said I did good deeds, so they let... me come back to life." As he spoke, he did not forget to glance cautiously at Mu Anxiao.
Fengqishi smiled, "That's great." As he reached out, Mu Anxiao directly grabbed his arm.
At the same time, Gu Xiao stepped forward, exclaiming in shock, "You're alive."
A Xia looked at the fake Lin Yan's face and frowned.
Fengqishi looked down at Mu Anxiao, who was intentionally blocking him, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Mu Anxiao ignored Fengqishi, instead looking at the fake Lin Yan and asking, "Where did you distinguish me from?"
"From the woods over there."
"Are the holes on your soul healed?"
"They're healed."
"How did the wounds on your body heal?"
"I don't know. They healed as soon as I came in. Perhaps they were healed by the underworld officials."
