“You speak truth, but…”
Feng Qi Shi’s words trailed off as Mu An Xiao turned halfway, interrupting him. “It’s my fault. If I hadn’t pried, Lin County would never have known she was a woman. It’s all my fault. Shen Feng Zi, stop talking.”
Feng Qi Shi couldn’t believe that at this critical juncture, Mu An Xiao was still foolish enough to blame herself, thus provoking Wan Sha. He was speechless.
Piao crossed his arms, watching Mu An Xiao’s retreating back and then Wan Sha’s angry expression. He said, “Wan Sha, you promised not to kill Mu An Xiao. If you dare to touch her,” he stepped forward, staring coldly at Wan Sha, “then I won’t be polite either.”
Mu An Xiao said, “Piao, Shen Feng Zi, this is none of your business.”
Immediately, Piao looked at Mu An Xiao with a helpless expression. “We are helping you, can’t you see that?”
“I thank you, but…” Mu An Xiao cautiously glanced at Wan Sha. “I want to resolve this myself. Don’t interfere.”
“Mu Shazi, she wants to kill you, can’t you tell?” Feng Qi Shi lowered his head, looking at Wan Sha’s hand.
Wan Sha: “…”
Mu An Xiao said, “You two step back!”
Feng Qi Shi and Piao, hearing Mu An Xiao’s words, exchanged a glance at Wan Sha, then stepped back a few paces.
Then, Mu An Xiao once again looked at Wan Sha. “If I were you, I’d be angry too. You…”
“You should leave!” Wan Sha suddenly said.
Mu An Xiao was taken aback. “I…”
“I don’t want to leave the mortal world yet. I want to be alone. My mind is extremely chaotic right now.” Wan Sha had indeed listened to Feng Qi Shi’s words.
“Alright, then…” Mu An Xiao thought that if she stayed any longer, she would only upset Wan Sha further. So, she complied.
Feng Qi Shi and Piao had nothing more to say.
After they left the residence, A Xia opened the door and walked out.
“What are you thinking?” she asked, walking down the steps.
Wan Sha slowly turned to look at A Xia and said, “I don’t know. I’m very conflicted right now, whether to kill Mu An Xiao or not.”
“If you can’t bring yourself to do it, leave it to me.” A Xia still harbored hatred for Mu An Xiao.
“You?” Wan Sha uttered the word, raising her eyes to meet A Xia’s gaze. “Can you truly do it?”
“At worst, I’ll perish with her.”
After the recent events, A Xia had gained a new understanding of Mu An Xiao’s magic. Therefore, she couldn’t hold too much hope, only speaking this way.
Wan Sha sighed softly. “Do as you see fit.” With that, she turned and returned to the Mandarava.
A Xia said, “Then I will act tonight.”
Wan Sha: “…”
Seeing that Wan Sha was ignoring her, A Xia shrugged and turned back towards the room.
In the dilapidated temple, Lin Yan was still crying out in pain. Xiao Zeng sat by the bed, put down the book in his hand, and looked up at Lin Yan’s feigned pained expression, asking, “What do you want now?”
In such a short time, Lin Yan’s spoiled young master demeanor was instantly revealed. He didn’t want anyone to be idle.
As soon as Xiao Zeng sat down, he started groaning incessantly and would occasionally order Xiao Zeng to do this and that.
Xiao Zeng was also becoming annoyed by it.
“I want to eat pastries.”
Xiao Zeng said, “I don’t have money to buy them for you.”
“I’ll give you money.”
“You’ll give me money?” Xiao Zeng’s heart stirred upon hearing Lin Yan’s offer. “Then how much moving expenses will you give me?”
