Feng Qishi's eyes darkened as the wind picked up. Glancing at Hu Yuan beside him, he was about to speak when Hu Yuan said, "This guy was protecting you, just... unsuccessfully." As he spoke, Hu Yuan bent down and swiftly pulled the needle from Ma Yan's hand, hauling her to her feet.
The people around them hadn't noticed what was happening here.
"What are you doing?" Ma Yan quickly pressed her hand to her wrist, asking in a low voice.
"Back then, you pulled my needle out just like this. Don't you remember?" Hu Yuan glared at Ma Yan.
Ma Yan stiffened. "How did you know it was me who pulled your needle out?"
"That day, although I was groggy, I saw everything that happened in the infirmary clearly. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been sent to the hospital. You... you..." Hu Yuan's eyes were filled only with resentment. "Murderer."
"I didn't mean to kill you," Ma Yan said agitatedly.
"Whether you did or not, your word doesn't count anymore," Hu Yuan said, pulling Ma Yan past Feng Qishi and leaving.
Mu Anxiao hurried to catch up, shouting, "Hu Yuan, don't do anything rash."
Because everything had happened so suddenly, Feng Qishi, who hadn't had time to react, glanced at the fine needle dripping with medicine. After a moment's hesitation, he turned and followed them.
"You've caused me so much pain over the years. Today, I'm going to make you suffer because of me for the rest of your life," Hu Yuan said, pulling Ma Yan along.
"What are you going to do?" Ma Yan asked, hurrying after Hu Yuan.
Hu Yuan snorted coldly. "Make you die." With that, he moved to a blind spot in the hallway, snapped his fingers in front of Ma Yan's face, and then he and Ma Yan vanished.
At the same time, the moment Mu Anxiao saw them disappear, she urgently pulled out her round disk.
"Where did they go?" Feng Qishi ran forward and asked.
Mu Anxiao looked at the slowly rotating pointer on the disk, frowning. Then, before she could speak, the disk suddenly moved, and her hand was involuntarily raised above her head.
Mu Anxiao looked up at her own hand, which was tightly gripping the disk, and asked, "The rooftop?"
"The rooftop," Feng Qishi repeated.
Then, Mu Anxiao's hand dropped.
"Are they really on the rooftop?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao nodded and said, "I'll go. You wait here."
"Take me with you," Feng Qishi said, reaching out and grabbing Mu Anxiao's arm.
Mu Anxiao looked down at the arm firmly held by Feng Qishi and said, "Why are you everywhere?"
"I don't care. Someone will be here soon, so you'd better hurry," Feng Qishi said calmly.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi's unyielding demeanor and was speechless. Then, she leaped upwards, taking Feng Qishi with her, and they vanished.
Immediately after, a man entered the hallway, looking around with a puzzled expression. "That's strange, I heard voices just now..." He glanced towards the stairs. "They moved so fast." Saying this, he turned and left. xxs one
At the school, the big-headed fat demon and the short demon had searched the entire school, finally stopping together at the school gate.
"They're not here," the big-headed fat demon said with annoyance.
"Where do you think... they went?" the short demon asked, looking at the big-headed fat demon.
"That..." the big-headed fat demon said, taking out the hair tie Mu Anxiao had dropped from his pocket. "I'll know if I smell it." He then brought his nose close to the hair tie and sniffed.
"Boss, we're not dogs," the short demon reminded him.
Hearing this, the big-headed fat demon sniffed for a while longer, then moved away. "I know where they are."
"Boss, didn't you say we don't do things dogs do? Doing this..." The short demon's expression became troubled as he thought of his next words. "Isn't that slapping yourself in the face?"
"We gave Mu Anxiao one thousand taels. If we don't urge her, aren't we letting ourselves down?" The big-headed fat demon rubbed his nose. "I'm looking out for us."
"Boss, you're truly great," the short demon said, putting on a touched expression.
The big-headed fat demon patted the short demon's shoulder and turned, saying, "Follow me."
"Yes, boss," the short demon nodded and followed the big-headed fat demon.
At the hospital, Mu Anxiao and the others had arrived on the rooftop. At this moment, Hu Yuan was forcefully strangling Ma Yan's neck. Ma Yan's face was contorted in pain.
"Hu Yuan, let go!" Mu Anxiao roared.
Hu Yuan turned his head to look at Mu Anxiao and said, "You said you wouldn't interfere."
"I said I wouldn't interfere, but if you do this, I will," Mu Anxiao said. She glanced at Feng Qishi, who was still holding her arm. "Let go."
Feng Qishi looked and, as if understanding, released his grip.
Mu Anxiao rushed forward.
Hu Yuan seized the opportunity, let go of Ma Yan, and pushed her to the ground. He said, "Since you treated me like this, fine. I'll transfer all my spiritual energy to the wolf demon. That way, you'll never be able to catch it." As he spoke, he raised his hand.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao said, "Your soul energy is growing weaker. Even if you transfer your spiritual energy to the wolf demon, it won't have much effect. Of course, I don't know how deep your hatred for this woman is, but I want to say that when will the cycle of revenge end? Stopping here would be beneficial for you."
"What do you know?" Hu Yuan roared.
"I don't know, but I want to say that it's enough to play a prank on her. Taking her life would bring you no benefit," Mu Anxiao said casually.
Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao's back, then at Ma Yan, whose eyes were wide open, staring at Hu Yuan's back. He said, "You're already scary enough as it is."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned her head to look at Feng Qishi and said, "You just be a bystander. It's not your place to speak."
"No, look at Ma Yan's expression. I estimate," Feng Qishi said with a cold laugh, "that if you say one more word to Hu Yuan, that guy will either be driven mad by Hu Yuan or by you."
The second Feng Qishi finished speaking, Ma Yan let out a scream.
Then, a voice came from behind Mu Anxiao and the others, "Ma Yan, Hu Yuan..."
Hu Yuan peeked out and looked at Ma Yan, who was holding the door. "This has nothing to do with you, Ma Yan."
Ma Yan looked at Hu Yuan with tear-filled eyes and shook her head.
Feng Qishi looked at Ma Yan, who had suddenly appeared, and then at Mu Anxiao, saying, "Many people are skipping class today."
Ma Yan heard Feng Qishi's words and said, "I'm not skipping class. Ma Yan's mother asked me to accompany Ma Yan, so I requested leave."
"Oh," Feng Qishi replied perfunctorily.
Hu Yuan glanced at Mu Anxiao, then at Ma Yan, and said, "She treated you like that, and you still choose to forgive her? Are you crazy?"
"I..." Ma Yan glanced sideways and said, "I'm afraid of her, but she is also Grandpa's granddaughter. Grandpa said I am her elder sister, and I have the right to take care of my sister, no matter how my sister treats me." She stepped forward.
"Are you stupid?" Hu Yuan shouted.
Mu Anxiao turned her head to look at Ma Yan's frightened expression, then looked back at Ma Yan, who was glaring at Ma Yan, and frowned slightly.
