Mu Anxiao glanced down at the dagger that was shrieking in alarm, sighed, and looked up at Feng Qishi, who was quietly holding her hand. "Was it you?" she asked.
Feng Qishi, while tending to Mu Anxiao's wound, replied, "She asked you what you did to her, why are you asking me?"
"I didn't do anything to her?"
Immediately, Feng Qishi stole a glance at the dagger on the ground making noise and said, "Not you, it was..." He looked up at the wolf demon who had walked over and asked, "Was it you?"
The wolf demon said, "Not me, it was him." He pointed at the Yin Chai.
"..." Mu Anxiao froze, then looked down at Yin Chai's clenched fists. She turned to Feng Qishi and asked, "When did you revive him?"
"I didn't revive him," Feng Qishi said, tightening his grip on Mu Anxiao's wrist. "Don't move."
Mu Anxiao uttered an "Oh" and looked down at the Yin Chai propping himself up. "That's great, you're not dead."
"What do you mean by that?" the Yin Chai asked, deliberately sitting on the wolf demon's foot.
"..." The wolf demon frowned, looking down at his foot pinned by the Yin Chai. He cleared his throat and said, "Uh, could you get up for a moment?"
Hearing this, the Yin Chai looked up at the wolf demon staring down at him and said, "No."
"Why?"
"You controlled her to kill me," the Yin Chai said, looking down at the dagger beside Mu Anxiao. "Mu Anxiao, I completely believe you now."
"You mean... you never believed me?"
"Half-believed, half-doubted."
"Half..." Mu Anxiao spat out the word, then let out a cold laugh. "No, after all this, you never trusted me."
"No, I do believe you, but I thought I'd completely trust you after catching the real culprit. Now it seems," the Yin Chai looked up again at the wolf demon standing behind him, still staring down at him, "I've found the culprit."
Upon hearing the Yin Chai's words, the wolf demon casually withdrew his foot, took a step back, and said, "You mean, I'm the culprit."
Hearing this, the Yin Chai immediately stood up, turned to face the wolf demon, and said, "You don't need me to say it, you've already admitted it."
"I'm not."
"You say you're not, but that broken dagger went through my body, and then you appeared. It's clear," the Yin Chai's eyes were filled with suspicion towards the wolf demon, "that you did it."
"Everything needs evidence. What basis do you have to call me the culprit?" xxs1
"You're a demon."
"Just that?"
"You're also a wolf demon," the Yin Chai said, deliberately taking a step closer to the wolf demon. "In the past, you were a notorious killer. If I recall correctly, the tragedy of the Cultivation Sect that year also has your fingerprints all over it. You were punished by them for that incident, but because of their foolishness, you escaped. Now that I've found you, you won't escape again."
Mu Anxiao finally understood. The Yin Chai was saying all this just to highlight his own greatness.
However, if it were in the past, she might have cooperated with him to capture the wolf demon.
But, as a fair character, she felt it was best to let it go.
"You're wrong."
Hearing this, the Yin Chai slowly turned his head to look at Mu Anxiao. "You're trying to cover for him."
"I'm not."
"I was almost killed by him, and you still want to cover for him, Mu Anxiao," the Yin Chai choked out, "Just tell me, are we partners?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi released Mu Anxiao's hand and looked up. "Hey, hey, hey, I'm her partner." With that, he stood up.
Immediately, the Yin Chai gave Feng Qishi a wronged look and then turned to Mu Anxiao. "Mu Anxiao, we are... collaborators."
"Who is collaborating with you?" Mu Anxiao said, picking up the dagger and standing up. "We are competitors, to be precise."
"Yes, we are competitors. Think about it, you..."
"Stop," the wolf demon interrupted sternly, hands on his hips, looking speechlessly at the Yin Chai. "Are you stupid? If I were really like you say, I would have run away by now. I don't know what kind of chaotic thoughts fill that Yin Chai's head all day."
The Yin Chai said, "She just called you master." He pointed at the dagger in Mu Anxiao's hand.
At this moment, Mu Anxiao calmly watched this familiar scene unfold and couldn't help but chuckle.
"..." Feng Qishi turned to look at the chuckling Mu Anxiao and couldn't help but curve his lips upwards. "What are you laughing at?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao immediately stopped laughing and looked up at Feng Qishi. "You were the one laughing." Saying this, she handed the dagger to Feng Qishi.
"You clearly smiled," Feng Qishi said, reaching out to take the dagger while pointing at Mu Anxiao's twitching lips.
Mu Anxiao became quite uncomfortable when Feng Qishi said this.
So, she averted her gaze and happened to look at the Yin Chai who was staring at her. "Why are you looking at me?"
"Why are you laughing?"
Originally, Mu Anxiao only wanted to secretly mock the incredibly foolish Yin Chai.
But now, with Feng Qishi asking, she didn't need to hide it anymore.
"What's wrong with me laughing?" she asked righteously.
The Yin Chai asked again, "Why are you laughing?"
The wolf demon sighed, looking calmly at the Yin Chai's persistent questioning, then glanced at the surrounding trees. He said, "Laughing at your stupidity. Jumping to conclusions about others before the facts are clear. I just don't understand, people try to avoid falling in the same place twice, but you, you're so fond of this one spot."
"You..."
"Since that's the case, then you can stay here and count how many masters she has," the wolf demon interrupted.
The Yin Chai: "..." He was speechless.
Mu Anxiao looked at the Yin Chai's embarrassed expression and said, "Just now, the dagger flew straight through your body, but," she glanced at the wolf demon, "he jumped down from the tree. Do you know what that means?"
"What does it mean?"
"It means the culprit isn't him," Mu Anxiao said, looking helplessly at the Yin Chai who waited for others to explain things without thinking.
At the same time, Feng Qishi looked down at the dagger that had stopped moving. With a shift of his gaze, he deliberately loosened his grip and dropped the dagger to the ground. Then, while they weren't paying attention, he cast a spell to release the restraint around the dagger.
In the next second, the dagger did not escape but instantly transformed into a human form. "Feng Qishi, thank you."
Hearing this, Feng Qishi's body stiffened, and he turned to look at the dagger, stunned. "..."
"..." Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and reached out to stop the Yin Chai, who was about to step forward, shaking her head.
The dagger ignored them, smiled at Feng Qishi, took a few steps back, turned, and flew away.
The wolf demon glanced at the dagger as it left, then looked at Mu Anxiao, who deliberately blocked the Yin Chai with her hand, and asked, "Why didn't you let him chase it?"
