For this year, Lin Yan had never heard Mu Anxiao say these things to him. Every time they met, they were almost fighting. Now that Mu Anxiao was suddenly so serious, it made him suspicious.
"Mu Anxiao, I know."
Seeing Lin Yan's expression of sudden realization, Mu Anxiao had a bad premonition.
"What do you know?" she asked.
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. "I know, you're mocking me."
Mocking? Mu Anxiao didn't feel that anything she said was meant to mock him. Hearing him say that, she suddenly felt that she had indeed said a lot of nonsense just now.
However, even so, she still wanted to ask, "If I'm mocking you, then tell me, how am I mocking you?"
"On the surface, it seems like encouragement, but deep down, you're mocking me. That's the kind of person you are," Lin Yan said.
As expected, there was no need to say too much to someone so suspicious. At this moment, Mu Anxiao regretted it.
In response, she remained silent: "..."
"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your tacit approval," Lin Yan said, pointing at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao let out a soft snort. "Say whatever you want. Anyway, with people like you, even if I say all the nice things, you'll still think I'm mocking you." With that, she glared fiercely at Lin Yan and turned away.
Feng Qishi sighed.
Lin Yan also glared at Mu Anxiao, then turned away as well.
And so, the two of them inexplicably entered a cold war again.
In the house, Piao stood by the bed, conjuring a spell to force out the resentment and Yin energy from Chen's body, saying, "Who's making noise outside!" xxs壹贰
"Who else could it be," An Yan walked gracefully behind Piao, "Mu Anxiao!"
"What did she say?"
"She said that a human bought your house, and then that person suddenly started arguing with her. It's clear," An Yan shook his head slightly, "that Mu Anxiao's character is quite rotten."
"She let that person buy my house. Where am I supposed to live? This is too much."
"Who knows what she's thinking all day? But speaking of which," An Yan glanced at Chen, "if I remember correctly, you seemed to have dealt with this girl ten years ago."
Piao said, "I don't remember."
An Yan nodded slightly. "Indeed. You're a devil who deals with countless demons and monsters every day. How could you possibly remember such a minor creature?"
"..." Piao ignored An Yan, cast the final spell, and withdrew his hand. "Alright, go back to your screen and stay there!"
"Okay, okay," An Yan agreed, turned halfway, and transformed into a light and shadow, flying into the screen.
Immediately, Piao bent down and covered Chen with the blanket.
A short while later, Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi entered Piao's room with Lin Yan.
Due to Piao's status, the moment Lin Yan saw him, he dared not say a word.
Piao deliberately spoke to Lin Yan, "I heard this house belongs to you."
Hearing this, Lin Yan was startled and said unnaturally, "It's not mine, how could it be mine."
At the same time, Mu Anxiao looked at Piao with astonishment and asked in a low voice, "Did you hear that?"
Piao walked to the table, poured tea into a cup while picking up the teapot, and said, "Yes, I heard."
"You heard, but you didn't open the door."
Mu Anxiao thought Piao had already healed Chen, so she said this.
Piao said dismissively, "Mu Anxiao, I advise you to speak less, otherwise," he deliberately glanced at Lin Yan, whose face was filled with restraint, "I'll reveal your secret."
Mu Anxiao: "....."
Seeing Mu Anxiao's silence, Piao chuckled, picked up the teacup, and handed it to Feng Qishi, who had consciously sat down. "Brother Shen, have some tea."
Feng Qishi took the teacup and nodded. "Thank you."
Lin Yan listened to Piao's address to Feng Qishi with surprise, swallowed, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you surnamed Feng?"
Just as Feng Qishi was about to explain, Mu Anxiao said dismissively, "What business is it of yours what surname he uses? You'd better sit down and be quiet."
Hearing this, Lin Yan glared at Mu Anxiao but obediently sat down.
Piao glanced at Mu Anxiao and suddenly realized, "I know."
Sensing Piao's gaze, Mu Anxiao deliberately frowned and asked, "What do you know?" As she spoke, she leaned over and reached for the teapot.
Seeing this, Piao deliberately moved the teapot a little further away and said, "You instigated him to buy my house."
What started as encouragement had turned into instigation. At this moment, Mu Anxiao truly regretted saying those words. She withdrew her outstretched hand, straightened up, and had no intention of continuing the conversation.
".... " Mu Anxiao.
Beside them, Lin Yan, wanting to distance himself from Mu Anxiao, deliberately glanced at Mu Anxiao's silent face and said excitedly, "Yes! She did instigate me just now."
The moment Lin Yan shouted this, Feng Qishi tugged at his arm and whispered, "Say less!"
Lin Yan casually said, "Oh."
Mu Anxiao glanced at Lin Yan and resigned herself to it, saying, "Say whatever you want, think whatever you want, I don't care." With that, she turned and walked towards the bed.
Lin Yan looked back at Mu Anxiao's retreating figure and dared not speak.
Piao appreciated Lin Yan's cooperation, so he specifically poured Lin Yan a cup of tea and said, "Have some tea." He then pushed the cup towards Lin Yan's hand.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Thank you."
Piao smiled faintly, turned to look at Mu Anxiao's back, and said unceremoniously, "She's fine, don't disturb her."
Mu Anxiao stopped by the bed, too lazy to pay attention to Piao.
Seeing that Mu Anxiao was ignoring him, Piao also became angry. "I'm talking to you, did you hear me or not?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned her face slightly and said, "The facts prove that you are disturbing her."
Piao: "..... " He glared at Mu Anxiao and sat down.
Following that, Lin Yan picked up the teacup with great restraint. As he blew away the white mist, he remembered Xiao Zeng.
"Right," he turned to Feng Qishi, "Where's Xiao Zeng?"
They hadn't figured out anything about Xiao Zeng, and Lin Yan's sudden question left Feng Qishi at a loss for words.
"..." He paused for a moment and casually said, "Xiao Zeng... went back."
"If he went back, why did you bring him here?" Piao, unaware of the inside story, pointed at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan frowned.
Feng Qishi gently touched the rim of the cup and said, "He did go back. Didn't he faint? I was afraid... you know."
"Afraid of what?" Piao couldn't keep up with Feng Qishi's train of thought.
Feng Qishi looked embarrassed.
Mu Anxiao, listening to the discussion behind her, thought about the current situation in the city. She really didn't want to hide anything from Lin Yan anymore.
"Lin Yan," she turned and walked back to the table, looking down at Lin Yan and asking, "Do you believe there are monsters in this world?"
Due to certain circumstances, many people here did not believe in demons and ghosts. So, the moment Mu Anxiao suddenly asked this question, Lin Yan didn't feel scared; instead, he found Mu Anxiao amusing.
"Monsters? How can there be monsters?" he asked with a smile.
