Gu Xiao nodded, "Yes, his spell had a curse, a curse that prevented resurrection. If Lin Yan were here, Feng Qishi would definitely try everything to revive him. But as long as his soul isn't here, Feng Qishi wouldn't have such thoughts."
Since Feng Qishi began crying uncontrollably after Lin Yan left, Piao had been wondering if Feng Qishi shouldn't be trying to save Lin Yan.
Why did he only cry and not think of any solutions?
Now, after hearing Gu Xiao's explanation, he also realized that Lin Yan's soul was gone.
"Where did Lin Yan go?" he asked.
Gu Xiao replied, "Gui Xiao likes to send souls to a strange place. Lin Yan should be there now, right?"
Upon hearing this, Piao's eyes sank, "So, Feng Qishi shouldn't have killed Gui Xiao."
"But if he didn't, Gui Xiao would have inflicted a second injury on Lin Yan."
"Your words are quite contradictory," Piao turned his head to look at Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao said, "Actually, I made all this up." He looked away.
Piao: "..."
Before this, Piao had truly believed Gu Xiao's words.
So, when Gu Xiao said this, he suddenly felt like he had been tricked. But because someone else was present, he suppressed his anger towards Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao chuckled foolishly, "..." He deliberately moved a few steps away.
Piao said, "You'd better talk less."
A Xia glanced at Gu Xiao, then at Piao, and asked, "Actually, I'm very curious, where did Lin Yan go?"
Piao glanced at A Xia, "I want to know too." As he spoke, he didn't forget to glare at Gu Xiao.
Gu Xiao lowered his head.
Yin Ye stood beside Feng Qishi, looking at the people sincerely arranging Lin Yan's funeral. His eyes deepened, "When I died, no one even spared me a glance."
Hearing this, Feng Qishi turned his head to look at Yin Ye, "..."
Yin Ye continued, "Lin Yan is their savior."
"..."
"He saved these people. If he hadn't called out, not only you, but they..." Yin Ye turned to look at those people, "would have all died."
Feng Qishi hadn't thought of this, but after Yin Ye mentioned it, he recalled the recent crisis. He said weakly, "You're right, if I had been ambushed and rushed into the blue light, they would all have died."
"Yes," Yin Ye replied, "These are just details, I could have not mentioned them. But because it concerns you, I felt it necessary to point them out!"
Feng Qishi said coldly, "Why me?"
"You are his master."
"I am not."
A master is supposed to protect their disciple completely.
But he had failed to do so; instead, he had been protected by Lin Yan. He felt ashamed,
and therefore, he refused to admit it.
"When he fell, he said something," Yin Ye stared at Feng Qishi's profile, "He said, 'Master, thank you.'"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi's heart collapsed again.
He cried again.
Yin Ye looked at Feng Qishi and reached out to pat his shoulder, "Crying will make you feel better."
Forest.
Mu An Xiao and Hei Feng stopped in a clearing. Just as they were about to cast a spell to leave, a voice came from a tree.
"Mu An Xiao, save me."
Hearing this, Mu An Xiao frowned and scanned the surroundings, but did not look at the large tree. She asked, "What demon dares to call my name directly? Are you tired of living?" As she spoke, she looked at Hei Feng.
Hei Feng asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Is it you?"
"Me?" Hei Feng pointed to himself and sneered, "I don't need you to save me."
"Then who is it?"
Hei Feng looked at Mu An Xiao's blank expression and pointed to a large tree nearby, "Look up."
Mu An Xiao followed Hei Feng's gaze and looked up at the tree, her eyes widening, "Lin Yan, what are you doing here?"
Lin Yan said, "Save me." He was clinging to a branch.
Mu An Xiao asked, "Why did you run over here? Why didn't you stay with Feng Qishi..."
"He's dead," Hei Feng interrupted.
Mu An Xiao stiffened, turned to look at Hei Feng, "How could he be dead? If he's dead, how can he..." Her voice trailed off as her eyes darkened. She quickly ran forward, leaped into the air, and positioned herself beside Lin Yan, asking, "How did you end up like this?"
Lin Yan explained, "Gui Xiao pierced my body with a demonic spell. Then, the moment I fell, I suddenly flew out of my body and in the blink of an eye, I ended up here."
"Your body was pierced by a demonic spell?" Mu An Xiao reached out and touched Lin Yan's arm, "Come down with me."
"I can't move."
"It's alright, you're a soul. You won't feel anything even if you fall."
Hearing Mu An Xiao's words, Lin Yan shifted his body and then directly passed through the tree branch, falling to the ground.
Mu An Xiao turned and flew towards Lin Yan.
Immediately, as Mu An Xiao landed, she inadvertently saw a large hole in Lin Yan's back, "How could this be?"
She couldn't believe what she saw.
Lin Yan hadn't noticed the hole in him. Instead, he stood up and smiled, "I remember now, when I was protecting the house with my soul body, I didn't feel anything."
"I knew it," Mu An Xiao's eyes were fixed on the hole in Lin Yan.
Lin Yan didn't lower his head to follow Mu An Xiao's gaze. Instead, he turned to Hei Feng and asked, "Are you here to capture me?"
Hei Feng replied, "I'm not here to capture you." He didn't notice the hole in Lin Yan and instead looked at Mu An Xiao, asking, "Mu An Xiao, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Yan spoke to himself, "If you're not here to capture me, then can I go back? Can I be resurrected like before?"
When Lin Yan's body was struck and he fell, he thought he was finished.
But the moment he met Mu An Xiao and Hei Feng, he suddenly had hope for life.
And that hope was largely due to Hei Feng's words.
Mu An Xiao: "..." She didn't know how to reply and lowered her head.
Hei Feng said, "You can't live."
Hearing this, Lin Yan's body stiffened. He looked at Hei Feng with a wry smile, "You're really strange. Didn't you say you wouldn't capture me?" His hope gradually shattered.
Hei Feng explained, "I just said I wouldn't capture you, not that other underworld emissaries wouldn't."
"A fortune teller told me I would live to be a hundred."
Hei Feng: "..."
There were no absolute answers in the world. Hei Feng didn't know how to respond to Lin Yan's words.
Seeing Hei Feng's troubled expression, Mu An Xiao then looked at Lin Yan and asked, "Lin Yan, did you save Feng Qishi?"
Looking at the hole in Lin Yan's abdomen, Mu An Xiao was convinced that he must have been ambushed.
Because of Hei Feng's words, this time Lin Yan followed Mu An Xiao's gaze and looked down at his stomach, his eyes widening, "Why is it like this?"
Hearing Lin Yan's words, Mu An Xiao couldn't explain why this was happening.
At this moment, she wanted to cry.
But she knew she couldn't cry in front of Lin Yan. If Lin Yan saw her cry, he would surely despair.
Therefore, she had to hold back and not cry.
