Ouyang Ye, seeing Gu Yan's words and actions not matching, put down his teacup and asked coldly, "You've agreed, so why are you still standing here? Don't tell me," his tone was extremely cold, "you were just saying it."
Gu Yan, worried that leaving directly to find Mu Anxiao would arouse Ouyang Ye's suspicion, deliberately only agreed without acting. Of course, in the past, if Gu Yan acted like this, Ouyang Ye would always impatiently withdraw the task he had assigned her. She hadn't expected that Ouyang Ye would completely deviate from the usual script this time. Raising his eyes to look at her, a sudden idea struck her, and she said, "Master, when you ask me to do things, you always assign me a location. Shouldn't you arrange one for me now?" She spoke cautiously.
Ouyang Ye: "What you agree to, you should do quickly. Still waiting for me to give you hints," he snorted, "you're thinking too highly of yourself."
"Master, then I'll search this manor, but," Gu Yan looked at Ouyang Ye very cautiously, pursed her lips slightly, and continued, "if I can't find her, then there's nothing I can do."
"You..." Ouyang Ye said, and couldn't help but recall his action of pushing Mu Anxiao off the sky. Immediately, his eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "Sit down."
However, Gu Yan thought she misheard, then shifted her gaze, and asked uncertainly, "Master, didn't you ask me to find Mu Xiao? I'm going now. You're asking me to sit down," she intentionally paused, continuing, "how can I find Mu Xiao then?"
"Mu Xiao is dead." Ouyang Ye said casually, then looked up at the suddenly stunned Gu Yan and said in a low voice, "Even if you turn this manor upside down, you won't find her." After speaking, he lowered his eyes.
Gu Yan saw this and quickly said, "Master, you are so powerful, you must have a way to save her." As she spoke, she leaned on the table, "As far as I know, that Mu Xiao was brought back by the General. If the General finds out Mu Xiao is missing, he will definitely be furious. Master, what if he comes looking for you then?"
"I'm just a coachman. Why would he look for me?" Ouyang Ye, taking advantage of his identity as a coachman, said coldly.
Gu Yan was speechless for a few seconds, then said, "Master, you're so powerful, you must be able to find Mu Xiao's remains. If not, we can forge one..."
"I only know Mu Xiao is dead, I didn't say I killed her. Why are you so nervous?" Ouyang Ye interrupted, pointing to the empty seat opposite him, "Sit down, and don't speak anymore."
Hearing Ouyang Ye's denial, Gu Yan thought about what she had said impulsively. She breathed a sigh of relief, sat down, and deliberately asked, "Master, then how do you know Mu Xiao is dead? Maybe if we search a bit more, she'll turn up. How about..."
"Shut up." Ouyang Ye growled, looked up at Gu Yan, and said coldly, "Gu Yan, I find that you're surprisingly talkative today. If you say one more word, I'll really have to be impolite." After saying that, he widened his eyes.
Gu Yan saw Ouyang Ye's impending anger and was startled. She then quickly closed her mouth, which was about to speak more, and consciously lowered her head.
Subsequently, Ouyang Ye glared at Gu Yan, then lowered his eyes, thinking about his actions towards Mu Anxiao, he clenched his fist and thought, 'Was I really wrong to treat her like that?' After thinking, he picked up the teacup, glanced at Gu Yan opposite him who dared not utter a word, and remained silent.
Gu Yan sensed Ouyang Ye's gaze and said, "Master, I still can't speak now, right?" As she asked, she raised her head and cautiously glanced at Ouyang Ye.
Ouyang Ye took a sip of water in front of her and coldly uttered the word "Quiet" before looking up at Zhao Xiang, who pushed the door open, and frowned, "You're here, what's wrong?" he asked, putting down his teacup.
Then, Zhao Xiang, with fear of Ouyang Ye and guilt towards Feng Qishi, walked forward and said, "That, Shen Moyun seems to have noticed something." As he spoke, he ignored Gu Yan and looked at Ouyang Ye.
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ye's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he calmly looked at Zhao Xiang and asked, "Did you say it?"
Hearing Ouyang Ye's question, Zhao Xiang was grateful that he hadn't mentioned that matter to Feng Qishi just now. He said, "I didn't say it. I met him on the road just now, and he asked me where Mu Xiao was. I said I would help him find her." As he spoke, he continued to ignore Gu Yan and became serious, "I just came to ask you what I should do."
"What should you do?" Ouyang Ye retorted.
Zhao Xiang said earnestly, "You killed the person, and you told me about it. Now Moy... Shen Moyun is asking, and I don't know how to answer. Naturally," he frowned, "you should help me think of a solution."
However, the moment Zhao Xiang said this, Gu Yan raised her head and immediately fixed her gaze on Ouyang Ye's face, asking, "Master, did you really... really kill Mu Xiao?" As she asked, she deliberately widened her eyes to show her surprise at this matter.
At the same time, Zhao Xiang finally noticed Gu Yan's presence and immediately shifted his gaze to Gu Yan's face, stunned.
Ouyang Ye glanced at Zhao Xiang, then looked at Gu Yan opposite him, who was shocked, and said, "Gu Yan, you have nothing to do here anymore. Go out." His attitude was extremely cold.
Hearing Ouyang Ye's words, Gu Yan continued, "Master, Mu Xiao was brought back by the General. The General has already become suspicious. Please think carefully." After speaking, she stood up, walked around the chair, and left.
Ouyang Ye watched Gu Yan's retreating back calmly, narrowing his eyes.
Zhao Xiang turned his head and looked at Gu Yan's retreating figure, thinking, 'She is Ouyang Ye's capable assistant. It's strange that she wouldn't know Ouyang Ye did this.' After thinking, he turned back to look at Ouyang Ye.
After Gu Yan left completely, Ouyang Ye looked up at Zhao Xiang and said, "Sit down." He then poured Zhao Xiang a cup of tea.
"Yes." Zhao Xiang responded obediently and sat down in the chair. He said, "Well, I have something to say, I don't know if I should or not."
"Go ahead," Ouyang Ye said indifferently, pushing the teacup towards Zhao Xiang.
Zhao Xiang lowered his head and looked at the teacup, saying, "That Gu Yan seems to be pretending to be foolish. I feel like she knows everything, especially how she acted just now, it was quite fake." After speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"She's a demon soul with poor memory. I've mentioned this several times, and she always reacts like this. I'm used to it." Saying that, Ouyang Ye glanced towards the door.
Zhao Xiang also smiled upon hearing this and said, "Then her memory is indeed not very good." Saying that, he put down the teacup.
Outside the house, Gu Yan listened to Ouyang Ye's words and remembered that Ouyang Ye had mentioned this before, and she had reacted the same way then. Unfortunately, she had forgotten. With a swirl, her eyes sank, and then thinking about how Ouyang Ye had gone along with her just now, she suddenly had a bad premonition.
