Suddenly, the very next second Mu Anxiao asked this question, the purchasing servant cried out even louder. Mu Anxiao looked at the purchasing servant's utterly inhuman side and understood that he no longer recognized her. She figured she wouldn't delve any further. Instead, she stopped and looked around.
Seeing that Mu Anxiao was ignoring him, the purchasing servant closed his mouth, tilted his head slightly, and then yelped twice.
Hearing the sound, Mu Anxiao naturally thought of the wolf demon. With this thought, she immediately turned back to look at the purchasing servant in front of her and muttered, "Could it be the wolf demon's doing?" As she said this, she looked down and realized there was no demonic energy on the purchasing servant.
At the same time, the purchasing servant began to struggle.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao showed no fear. Instead, she calmly looked at the purchasing servant and said, "If it's not a demon, then what could it be?" As she spoke, she took a deep breath and was about to step forward when Gu Yan's voice reached her ears again.
"Cao Gen, what's the situation?"
Listening to Gu Yan's anxious inquiry, Mu Anxiao finally remembered her current identity. To avoid revealing herself, she cooperated by raising her hand and pressing her left ear, saying, "This person's face..." She trailed off, suddenly recalling Gu Yan's despicable methods. She hesitated, then continued, "He's struggling. I can't see his face clearly."
Outside the kitchen.
Gu Yan frowned upon hearing Mu Anxiao's reply and continued to ask mentally, "Are there any other distinguishing features on him?"
"What do you mean?" Mu Anxiao genuinely didn't understand Gu Yan's intention.
Gu Yan: "I mean, look at his complexion. Is it normal?"
"Why look at his complexion?" Mu Anxiao asked. She wanted to know from Gu Yan's response whether Gu Yan was involved in this matter.
"Because," Gu Yan said mentally, glancing at the nervous woman and burly men beside her. She deliberately moved a few steps to the side, turned her body, and said mentally again, "Only this way can I know if someone is framing me. Of course, if it's normal, then it makes sense."
"Framing..." Mu Anxiao thought for a moment and realized, "You think Gu Yan is framing you."
"This is a skill Ouyang Ye taught me, and I think she definitely has it too."
"Too?" Mu Anxiao repeated, recalling Gu Yan's hatred for Gu Yan. Her eyes suddenly darkened. She suddenly felt that Gu Yan's analysis was quite reasonable. However, even if it was reasonable, she didn't want Gu Yan to be harmed by Gu Yan. She decided to tell the truth, "No."
"How is it not?" Gu Yan asked excitedly.
Inside the kitchen, Mu Anxiao fixed her gaze on the purchasing servant's face and said, "His face is pale, his eyes are dark circles, and his hair is all standing on end. You tell me," she probed, "is this Gu Yan's doing?" She grew nervous.
Outside, as Gu Yan listened to Mu Anxiao's words, she sensed the demonic energy in the air and replied, "It's not Gu Yan's doing." Her eyes flickered, "I know."
In the kitchen, Mu Anxiao asked excitedly, "Know what?"
"Cao Gen, you're on your own. If you can get out, I'll definitely treat you like a younger brother. If you can't, I can't do anything either." Gu Yan clenched her fist and turned to leave.
Thus, the demonic sorcery Gu Yan had cast on Mu Anxiao disappeared.
Outside. The woman turned to look at Gu Yan's departing figure and frowned, "Strange, why did she leave?"
The first burly man also glanced at Gu Yan's back and said, "He's the driver. He has to wash the car. Honestly," he stared at the woman, "I'm still most worried about Cao Gen's safety."
"He should be fine. Isn't he tied up?" the second burly man said.
The first burly man heard this and said, "That's true." Then he looked back at the tightly closed door and sighed.
At the same time, the woman withdrew her gaze and prayed for Mu Anxiao.
Inside the kitchen, Mu Anxiao slowly lowered her hand from her left ear and sneered, "It's good she left. That way, I can fully display my abilities." As she spoke, she waved her arm towards the purchasing servant, and the purchasing servant became quiet.
Just then, Gu Yan appeared beside Mu Anxiao. She then looked directly at the purchasing servant and said, "It wasn't Gu Yan." She then looked at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao also looked at Gu Yan and smiled faintly, "You've come at just the right time." As she spoke, she pointed to the purchasing servant.
Instead, Gu Yan was puzzled, "Strange, aren't you angry?" she asked, frowning.
Mu Anxiao was equally puzzled, "What do you think I should be angry about?"
"Gu Yan, that brat, stood you up. Aren't you angry?" Gu Yan asked in detail.
Mu Anxiao shrugged. "What's there to be angry about? Those who are loyal to Ouyang Ye till death are all like this. I guessed as much when I came in. If you ask me," she walked gracefully to the purchasing servant, "it's good she left. If I had to constantly bear the demonic sorcery she inflicted on me, it would be too much pressure." She then squatted down.
Gu Yan turned back to look at Mu Anxiao's back and couldn't help but smile. "Don't say it, your mentality is truly good," she said and walked behind Mu Anxiao. "Tell me, what do you mean by 'you've come at just the right time'?"
"You can control consciousness, right?" Mu Anxiao said, turning her head to look at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan froze upon hearing this and then smiled, "What do you want to do? I can't do such things. Besides, Ouyang Ye doesn't allow private actions. If I really did this and Ouyang Ye found out, both you and I would be finished."
"I know," Mu Anxiao said calmly, looking at the fearful Gu Yan, "but you seem to have misunderstood my intention."
"Don't you want me to bring his soul out for him? You..."
"You've misunderstood. I want you to help me control his consciousness because I suspect he's being controlled by some power," Mu Anxiao explained in detail.
Gu Yan frowned. "Controlled? But..." Gu Yan said, and like Mu Anxiao, she sensed the surrounding demonic energy, shaking her head, "But there's no demonic energy here. How could he be controlled? Perhaps he accidentally ingested some poison?"
However, Mu Anxiao didn't believe Gu Yan's theory was plausible. She thought that the demonic energy might have been hidden. As for where it was hidden, she didn't know. But she knew she had to find clues on him. However, she was worried that her own control skills weren't enough, so she thought of asking Gu Yan for help.
She hadn't expected Gu Yan to be such a coward.
Hearing this, she sighed helplessly and tilted her head, fixing her gaze on Gu Yan's face.
