"What method do you have?" Feng Qishi asked, full of curiosity.
Mu Anxiao looked up at Feng Qishi's curious expression, feigning a false smile. "You don't need to know what my method is. You..."
"We are partners," Feng Qishi interrupted Mu Anxiao.
"Partners?" Mu Anxiao repeated, then smiled. "Our relationship now is servant and master. Return my money pouch, and then conjure up some decent and noble clothes for me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
"You're impolite to me? What can you do to me?"
"Gu Yan and your marriage isn't actually a bad thing, after all, you..."
"Do you really support it?" Feng Qishi was startled by Mu Anxiao's decision.
Mu Anxiao's lips curved. "If you talk nonsense and don't cooperate with me, then I will truly support it. After all, you know I'm not afraid of Ouyang Ye, and Ouyang Ye," she reached out and tugged at Feng Qishi's arm, "won't let you go either. Shen Fengzi, I advise you to be obedient, or I won't be able to help you."
"You want me to follow you," Feng Qishi said calmly.
"I've made it clear, so it's pointless to play dumb like this," Mu Anxiao said, pointing to Feng Qishi and then to herself, indicating that they could begin.
This time, Feng Qishi understood Mu Anxiao's meaning. Likewise, after her words, he let go of all his worries. Looking at her, he no longer spoke and began to do as she said.
The next moment.
Mu Anxiao changed into Feng Qishi's white robes. Then, she looked down at her neat attire, her mood greatly improved. "Call me Young Master," she said, glancing at Feng Qishi, who was dressed in simple coarse cloth and had his head wrapped in a rough cloth. She smiled.
"I won't," Feng Qishi said, looking very reluctant.
"If you don't call me that, then we'll just stand here. Anyway, you're already in front of me, and I'm not afraid anymore. As for time," Mu Anxiao put her hands behind her back nonchalantly, "I no longer care. As for whether Shen Lu will be discovered by Ouyang Ye, I can't say for sure."
"You..."
"Don't 'you' me. Call me Young Master."
"I will call you that in a moment."
Shen Lu was Feng Qishi's junior brother after all, and naturally, Shen Lu held a very important place in his heart.
It was for this reason that he chose to compromise.
Mu Anxiao's lips curved. "Call me now, consider it practice. The people here are not ordinary."
"Not ordinary? What do you mean by that?" Feng Qishi became nervous.
"The boss here is Ouyang Ye. As for the others," Mu Anxiao smiled, "you can figure it out yourself."
Figure it out yourself? Mu Anxiao's words truly befuddled Feng Qishi. He frowned slightly, unable to understand.
"Can't figure it out?" Mu Anxiao saw another meaning in Feng Qishi's facial expression.
Feng Qishi grunted.
In front of Mu Anxiao, he was never good at faking things. If he knew, he knew; if he didn't, he didn't. So no matter what reaction Mu Anxiao elicited from him, he wouldn't feel anything!
Just like this.
"Shen Fengzi, can't you use your brain? You seem quite thoughtful normally, how come you've become a fool now?" Mu Anxiao spoke harshly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi did not get angry. Instead, he patiently accepted Mu Anxiao's "ridicule." "Since you know I'm foolish, then explain it to me in detail."
"You..." Mu Anxiao was speechless for a few seconds seeing Feng Qishi's earnest appearance, and then patiently explained, "Ouyang Ye has made many efforts for your marriage. He knows that you are an immortal, and you must find a woman with immortal destiny, or a demon who has not committed evil. And half of the girls here are chosen by him as your potential partners. Do you understand what I mean?"
"So, they are basically all demons?" Feng Qishi heard what he wanted to hear.
Mu Anxiao nodded.
"So they can tell the truth from the fake at a glance, which is why you want me to practice," Feng Qishi said calmly.
Mu Anxiao was very pleased with Feng Qishi's reply and smiled. "Yes, that's exactly what I mean."
"I think my acting skills are quite good," Feng Qishi said.
Mu Anxiao's face fell.
Seeing this, Feng Qishi, fearing he would anger Mu Anxiao again, forced himself to call out, "Young Master." He bowed slightly.
"..." Mu Anxiao smiled with satisfaction and raised her hand to pat Feng Qishi's head.
Feng Qishi looked unwilling.
In an instant, Feng Qishi, with a black cloth covering his face and feigning humility, followed Mu Anxiao back to the center of the grand hall and stopped.
At the same time, Mu Anxiao, holding the money pouch, looked around smugly. She then turned to the waiter walking towards her and asked, "Where is A Chu?"
The waiter smiled, "Upstairs." He then stopped beside Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao smiled and, without hesitation, took two copper coins from the money pouch and handed them to the waiter.
The waiter happily took the copper coins and said, "You're looking for A Chu?" he said, inadvertently noticing Mu Anxiao's attire, and then smiled, "You were wearing coarse cloth just now, how did it change so quickly?"
"I was just here to inspect the place. In fact," Mu Anxiao raised her chin, "I had this outfit prepared beforehand."
"You..."
"Why didn't you come to greet me when I came in just now?" Mu Anxiao deliberately interrupted.
The waiter, upon hearing this, felt wronged. "I wanted to say a few words to you just now, but you didn't even look at me. What could I do?"
Mu Anxiao had always thought her behavior of ignoring the waiter was not so obvious, but who knew... this waiter was quite vindictive. She had mentioned it casually, and he was already feeling wronged. She felt both helpless and speechless.
However, in order to get information from A Chu as soon as possible, she could only bite the bullet and deal with the waiter. "You're quite perceptive, kid."
"I am clumsy."
Mu Anxiao knew the waiter would say this, so she deliberately cleared her throat and said, "I am here for an inspection, so naturally," she smiled, "I cannot pay attention to you."
"Are you sent from above?" the waiter asked quickly.
"Not exactly. Of course, you know I'm from the General's mansion. Naturally, our General wanted to come, but he couldn't, so," Mu Anxiao couldn't remember if she had said this before, but she thought using the General as a cover was a good idea, so she went with it, "our General sent me to take a look."
Feng Qishi cleared his throat upon hearing Mu Anxiao's words.
Hearing this, the waiter inadvertently noticed Feng Qishi. "And who is this?" he asked with a smile.
"Can't you tell?" Mu Anxiao asked.
The waiter gave a dry laugh, pointed to the black cloth on Feng Qishi's face, and asked, "Why is he wearing that?" He looked at Mu Anxiao.
