"Why?"
"Don't you have a mission? Next, I'll accompany you to complete your mission, just as a way to," Shen Yan smiled, "thank you."
However, whether the things Mu Anxiao did would change the future, she didn't know. But she knew that she might have been deeply imprinted in Shen Yan's mind. She thought if he continued to help her, their memories in this period would increase, and then, her future might change.
So, to avoid such things from continuing to happen, she refused, "No need, I want to go back now."
"Human trafficker, big brother wants to help you, and you are like this," little Mu Anxiao crossed her arms, "is too ungrateful."
At this moment, Mu Anxiao inexplicably disliked herself at this time. Why was she so talkative?
"I'm doing this for your own good," she said.
"For me..." little Mu Anxiao frowned and glanced at the girl, "Forget it, I'll assume you're doing it for me. But you were really fake just now."
"How was I fake?"
"The usual girl wouldn't openly talk to Brother... Mu Xi. Aren't you afraid of being discovered like that?"
"Discovered?" Mu Anxiao repeated, suddenly remembering her slow speed when she escaped with the burden. She was stunned and looked at Shen Yan, "What did you do?"
"Sealed the door," Shen Yan confessed truthfully.
"Is there a time limit?"
Considering the distance, Mu Anxiao felt she hadn't run far. To avoid being caught, she had to ask clearly.
"Yes."
"How long?"
Shen Yan: "A quarter of an hour."
"A..." Mu Anxiao uttered a word, lowered her eyes, and thought to ask, "How long have we been running?"
"A little over a quarter of an hour," Shen Yan said indifferently.
"A..." Mu Anxiao stopped short of finishing her sentence, hurried forward, grabbed Shen Yan's arm, and said, "Quick, I want to go back."
"The mission."
"I don't want to complete the mission anymore, help me go back." Mu Anxiao thought Mu Xi and Xi'er would definitely catch up. Regardless of the outcome, she felt that if they caught up with her, she would have no way to go back. Moreover, the events here would change because of her.
If she was unlucky, she might even disappear because of this.
Thinking of these results that made her uneasy, her face was full of pleading, "Please, let me go back."
"Do you think what you're saying now is appropriate?" Shen Yan retorted, looking down at little Mu Anxiao.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao followed Shen Yan's gaze to little Mu Anxiao. The moment she looked, she let go, took a step back, and thought, it's over, it must have already changed.
Shen Yan: "We'll accompany you to complete the mission."
"Mission..." Mu Anxiao hesitated. Thinking of Mu Xi's outrageous true face and his terrifying, hateful fiancée, she firmly believed that his death had nothing to do with her.
Seeing Mu Anxiao remain silent, Shen Yan asked, "What's wrong?"
"I..." Mu Anxiao uttered a word, her eyes sinking. "I don't want to complete this mission anymore, it's meaningless."
"You want to give up," Shen Yan said.
Mu Anxiao nodded, "Yes, give up. I... want to give up."
"...." Shen Yan didn't know what Mu Anxiao's mission was, but seeing Mu Anxiao's dejected expression, he didn't know what to say.
On the contrary, little Mu Anxiao said, "If it were me, I definitely wouldn't give up."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked down at little Mu Anxiao and blinked. "..." She felt like she was seeing her original intention.
Little Mu Anxiao looked at Mu Anxiao, who remained silent and only stared at her, and said earnestly, "Once you decide to do something, you can't back down. If you back down, you'll have regrets."
"You know a lot," Mu Anxiao praised herself indirectly.
Over the years, Mu Anxiao couldn't remember many things. Just like what little Mu Anxiao said, she didn't remember ever thinking that.
But, hearing little Mu Anxiao say this, she couldn't help but feel it was familiar.
"My aunt taught me all this," little Mu Anxiao said with a hint of sadness. "My sister also told me a lot. She said that when you want to give up, think about why you wanted to do it in the first place. If you figure it out and still don't want to do it, then don't. Because it's okay to give up sometimes. However, if it were me, I would see it through to the end, because I don't want to leave myself with regrets."
"What you're saying makes a lot of sense," Mu Anxiao nodded slightly. Thinking about Mu Xi framing her in the future and the fact that the rattan spirit had already left, she suddenly felt angry. "Okay, I want to complete the mission." She temporarily put aside all her worries. She wanted to tell Mu Xi that she was not wrong.
Shen Yan was surprised, "You're already all fired up."
"Why should they all blame me? I want to see how that..." Mu Anxiao realized she couldn't let little Mu Anxiao know certain things, so she paused and said, "That guy is so bad."
Actually, she wanted to say, she wanted to see how that guy died.
"Where are we going now?" Shen Yan asked.
Mu Anxiao thought for a moment, looked around, and said, "He should pass by here."
Shen Yan didn't know who "he" Mu Anxiao was referring to. But seeing her like this, and considering her identity, he reminded her, "Go invisible."
"Invisible?"
"If you don't go invisible, who else do you expect to see you? There's already one of them here," Shen Yan pointed to the girl.
Mu Anxiao thought it made sense. She raised two fingers and was about to cast a spell when she suddenly remembered that her invisibility skill was different from Shen Yan's. So, she was stunned.
Shen Yan: "What are you hesitating for?"
"If I go invisible, you all won't be able to see me." Mu Anxiao said, looking at herself and then at Shen Yan.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's inexplicably hesitant expression, Shen Yan said helplessly, "You're afraid of wasting your magic, aren't you?"
"No, just like last night, you couldn't see me either," Mu Anxiao reminded him.
When Shen Yan heard this, he couldn't help but recall Mu Anxiao, who had suddenly disappeared before him last night. He nodded, "It seems so."
"If you can't see me, how can you help me?" Mu Anxiao added.
Shen Yan: "Then only I can help you." As he said this, he raised his hand, and the girl woke up.
"Where am I?" she asked dazedly, opening her eyes.
Little Mu Anxiao saw this and quickly hid behind Shen Yan.
Shen Yan lowered his hand, glanced at little Mu Anxiao, then looked down at the girl who was now clear-headed, and said, "She hasn't gone mad."
Hearing this, the girl then looked up at Shen Yan, "It's you." As she spoke, she inadvertently looked at little Mu Anxiao, who was peeking out from behind Shen Yan, and her eyes widened, "You're not dead."
When little Mu Anxiao heard this, she quickly pulled her head back, hid tightly behind Shen Yan, grabbed his sleeve forcefully, and shivered from head to toe.
All of this was seen by Mu Anxiao.
On the contrary, the girl didn't notice Mu Anxiao and said again, "You're not dead."
