"No," Mu Anxiao said, stepping forward. "That guy is only focused on me now. She won't come looking for you."
"You're so narcissistic," Feng Qishi said, looking at Mu Anxiao's face.
Mu Anxiao narrowed his eyes and turned to Feng Qishi. "Why aren't you usually this talkative."
Feng Qishi grinned at Mu Anxiao's disdainful expression. "You seem to like glaring at me today."
Mu Anxiao glared at Feng Qishi again.
Feng Qishi pointed at Mu Anxiao. "See, you're glaring at me again."
Mu Anxiao ignored him and said, "We're leaving now."
"You're leaving already," the short demon stepped forward and said.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Hu Yuan. "Your master needs to rest."
Upon hearing this, the short demon looked at the unwell Hu Yuan and nodded. "Alright then."
"Yes, we're off," Feng Qishi said.
Hu Yuan waved. "Take care."
Mu Anxiao watched Feng Qishi turn and walk towards the ward door.
Zhang Yan smiled at Hu Yuan and the others, then turned to follow Mu Anxiao.
The men in yincha suits glanced at the short demon and the big-headed fat demon. "We're leaving. You two take good care of your master."
"Yes, okay," they replied in unison.
The men in yincha suits smiled, turned, and followed Mu Anxiao and the others.
Feng Qishi stood in place, looking at Hu Yuan without speaking.
Hu Yuan asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
"Talk to your mother properly. Your situation is much better than mine," Feng Qishi said earnestly.
Hu Yuan nodded slightly.
Feng Qishi smiled faintly and left.
Leaving the hospital, they stopped at a bus station.
"Where are you going now?" Zhang Yan asked Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao glanced at Feng Qishi and said, "I just ran into Feng Sen on the way. His mother insisted I visit, so I'm going to his house now."
"Are you going alone?" Zhang Yan hesitated, then looked at Feng Qishi. "What if his mother has a mental episode when you get there? How about I go with you?"
"Don't you have a meeting?" Mu Anxiao asked.
"Then what should we do?" Zhang Yan worried.
Feng Qishi looked at Zhang Yan's anxious expression and said, "I can do it."
Zhang Yan looked around, and when he confirmed no one was nearby, he asked, "You can do what?"
"I can help her. If they bully this guy, I'll step in," Feng Qishi said firmly.
"No," Zhang Yan looked at Feng Qishi's blank expression and asked, "Aren't you nervous?"
"Why would I be nervous?" Feng Qishi questioned.
"This is like going home, right? That's where you lived for so many years. When you go back, don't you feel..." Zhang Yan lowered his voice, "uncomfortable inside?"
Feng Qishi shook his head. "In life, they were indeed my family. But now I'm just a soul, so naturally, my connection to them isn't as deep."
"Are you still called Feng Qishi?" Zhang Yan suddenly asked.
Feng Qishi nodded. "Yes, my name is Feng Qishi. What about it?"
"Did the Feng family give you that name?" Zhang Yan asked again.
Feng Qishi nodded helplessly.
Zhang Yan said earnestly, "In that case, they are still your relatives. They treated you that way when you were alive. Aren't you upset going back now?"
Feng Qishi looked at Zhang Yan's serious expression helplessly. "Do you really need me to say that I'm uncomfortable seeing them?"
"No, I just can't accept you being so heartless," Zhang Yan said quietly.
Feng Qishi couldn't help but smile. "As long as I'm not heartless to you, that's enough. You're being too serious."
"It's different. I'm an outsider, but they are the relatives who watched you grow up with you. To just cut ties like this, I feel very disappointed in you," Zhang Yan said seriously.
Feng Qishi's face stiffened. "Since you think that way, there's nothing I can do. In my eyes, Feng Qishi is just a name, it doesn't represent anything. Of course, if it's really not working out, I can go back to being Shen Yan."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao said urgently, "If you dare to go back to Shen Yan, I'll never forgive you."
"Why?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao's eyes darkened. "The former you suited that name, but the current you doesn't suit it at all. Feng Qishi suits you better."
"Are you afraid I'll tarnish that name!" Feng Qishi said directly.
Mu Anxiao hesitated, then nodded. "Yes."
"I knew it," Feng Qishi said, looking at Zhang Yan, who was glaring at him. "If you were born in that place and died, you would be just as heartless as me."
"I might be, but I wouldn't be as ruthless as you," Zhang Yan became even more serious.
Mu Anxiao looked at Zhang Yan's serious expression and then at Feng Qishi. "Try to put yourself in his shoes, think about his situation."
"I..."
"You've seen what his parents are like, think about it," Mu Anxiao interrupted.
Zhang Yan heard this and looked down, recalling the appearance of Feng Qishi's parents, and the resoluteness of Feng's mother. He said, "I know. I just don't want you to go."
"Why?" Feng Qishi asked again.
"I'm worried that place will stir up your resentment, and it won't be good for you going to that time and space..." Zhang Yan confessed after holding back for a long time.
Feng Qishi couldn't help but smile. "If I'm afraid to go now, that would prove I still have resentment in my heart."
"Huh?" Zhang Yan was surprised.
"No matter what you say about me, I am Mu Anxiao's disciple now, and I should follow her. You don't need to say anything else," Feng Qishi said. As he finished speaking, Mu Anxiao said hastily, "The car is here."
"Alright, don't worry. I'll protect her," Feng Qishi said calmly.
Zhang Yan sighed and said, "Alright, I was wrong." He then looked at Mu Anxiao. "Be careful yourself."
"I know. I'm leaving," Mu Anxiao said and got into the car.
Feng Qishi smiled at Zhang Yan and followed her.
After the car drove away, Zhang Yan smiled faintly.
In the car, Feng Qishi stood beside Mu Anxiao and asked, "Am I acting badly like this?"
Mu Anxiao shook her head slightly.
"You mean I'm not acting badly," Feng Qishi said softly.
Mu Anxiao nodded again, then took out her phone and held it to her ear, speaking in a deliberately low voice. "People often say, 'once, twice, but not three times.' If you can be so resolute, it means they treated you really badly. So... I understand you."
"Thank you, Mu Shazi," Feng Qishi smiled.
Mu Anxiao tilted her head. "Zhang Yan is looking out for you too. Don't take his words too much to heart. Besides, he apologized to you, which means he also realized he said the wrong thing."
