Listening to Feng Qishi's words, Shen Xian's eyes darkened.
Mu Anxiao's memories were also stirred, and she asked, "Do you know who the true owner of this soul sword is?"
Xiang Nang: "....." She shook her head slightly.
Following Xiang Nang's reply, the soul sword trembled thrice in Mu Anxiao's hand, broke free from her restraint, and flew to Feng Qishi.
Seeing this, Feng Qishi's eyes widened, "What does this mean?"
Mu Anxiao was startled, "You... can't be its owner, can you?"
"....." Feng Qishi blinked and took a step back, "How is that possible."
Seeing the soul sword going to Feng Qishi, Xiang Nang decided not to hide anything further!
So, she said, "Actually, the master... first met Shen Yan." She glanced cautiously at Shen Xian.
Shen Xian was unaware of this.
However, hearing Xiang Nang's words now, he was not surprised, because... he only knew Gu An was a demon after arriving here, and he felt ashamed.
Shen Xian: "....."
Following this, Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi with disgust and said, "I'm really unlucky to always meet you, no matter where I go." She clicked her tongue twice.
Feng Qishi: "...." His gaze flickered.
The soul sword flashed a dazzling blue light in front of him, indicating for him to take it.
"Take it quickly, it's in a hurry," Mu Anxiao understood the soul sword's intention.
Feng Qishi said, "I am an immortal, and this is a soul sword from the demon realm. If I take it... my master will surely be angry."
"If I take it, my master won't be angry?"
"Your master is different."
Hearing Feng Qishi's words, Mu Anxiao couldn't help but imagine the vastly different teaching styles of Zhang Yan and the old gentleman. She said, "You're right, my master... is indeed not that strict." She stepped forward and took the soul sword, "Alright, you're back. From now on, I'll be your master. Your previous master has abandoned you."
The next second, the soul sword struggled violently in Mu Anxiao's hand.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao was also embarrassed and asked, "Do you want your master to remember you?"
The soul sword paused, indicating yes.
This time, Mu Anxiao understood again, "Alright, I'll make him remember you. You can go back."
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, the soul sword vanished instantly.
Mu Anxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Feng Qishi said, "You and it are too compatible."
"I really suspect that's why you abandoned it back then."
Feng Qishi turned his face away.
Mu Anxiao snorted and turned to Xiang Nang, "Hey, why didn't I have any memories when I arrived?"
"Some things can't be rushed. Let's go in," Xiang Nang said, turning to walk ahead.
Mu Anxiao: "...." She took a deep breath and looked sideways at Shen Xian, "Um, later, if you see memories that make you irritable, don't take it out on me when you come out. I'm not Gu An."
Shen Xian said, "I know."
Seeing Mu Anxiao's frightened look, Feng Qishi chuckled and said, "Senior brother, if you're unhappy, take it out on her. She has a thick skin."
Seeing Feng Qishi like this, Shen Xian said, "Junior brother, you have indeed become much more childish than before." With that, he stepped past Feng Qishi and entered the ghost cave.
Feng Qishi: "...."
Piao said, "I'll wait for you outside."
Feng Qishi nodded and followed Shen Xian.
Mu Anxiao said, "You stay far away from here." She waved her hand.
Borrowing Xiang Nang's previous words, Mu Anxiao worried that Piao might recall their boring past due to the blood lantern. So, to be safe, she only felt at ease by driving him away.
Piao's lips curved, "Why?"
"There's no reason, just listen to me." Mu Anxiao said, waving her hand again, and turned towards the ghost cave.
Piao looked at Mu Anxiao's retreating figure, smiled down, and still walked away.
Ghost Cave.
Just like that day, the Yin energy inside this ghost cave was still very heavy. The moment Mu Anxiao entered, she couldn't count how many shivers she had.
And those lanterns, as if seeing their relatives, began to sway continuously.
It was indeed magical; the amplitude of their swaying was not as exaggerated as that day. Looking at them, Mu Anxiao was no longer as scared. Now, in here, she only felt one thing: cold!
Shen Xian looked at Mu Anxiao, who was huddled into a ball, his eyes darkening. Without hesitation, he took off his outer garment and handed it to Mu Anxiao, "Here, wear it."
Due to the extreme cold, Mu Anxiao immediately took Shen Xian's clothes and, as she put them on, said, "Thanks."
Shen Xian: "...." He smiled slightly.
Feng Qishi glanced at Shen Xian and deliberately said, "You have thick skin, and you're cold?"
Mu Anxiao's lips trembled from the cold, but she still managed to say one word to Feng Qishi: "Scram!"
Feng Qishi: "......" He took off his outer garment and said, "Alright, alright, you have thin skin, I have thick skin." With that, he handed the clothes to Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao never bothered to be polite with Feng Qishi, so she snatched the clothes and put them on directly, saying, "When does it start?"
Xiang Nang looked up at the lanterns and said simply, two words: "Sit."
Mu Anxiao asked, "For what?"
"I've asked them to sort out the memories, but... if it's just relying on recollection, I'm afraid you'll suffer from qi deviation, so," Xiang Nang pursed her lips, "I've decided to guide you into the past."
"What do you mean?" Mu Anxiao was startled.
"It means letting your current consciousness return to your body in the previous life, but... you have no right to change anything. You can only watch, and then... experience those past events together!"
"He has to do this too?" Mu Anxiao pointed at Shen Xian.
Shen Xian: "...."
