However, Mu Anxiao's words successfully gave Lou Yi a new understanding of Jia. He then walked away after making a turn.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao was stunned, thinking, had he gone invisible?
The coachman's room.
Feng Qishi sat opposite the coachman at a table. The coachman kept talking about Bing'er's condition. Bing'er was lying in bed, asleep under the covers.
It was always like this. Every time Feng Qishi came here, the coachman would be in this state. As soon as he heard the coachman's words, Feng Qishi would take out his money bag and give it to him.
The coachman would usually refuse, but in the end, he could never resist Feng Qishi's persistence.
But this time, Feng Qishi hadn't said a word since he sat there, nor was there any trace of sympathy on his face, because he still believed... the coachman and Bing'er were both swindlers.
And his reason for being here wasn't just to listen to the coachman; his main purpose was to try and extract some other information from the coachman.
However, since the coachman had been talking non-stop, he didn't have a chance to interrupt, so he remained silent.
"This child is so pitiful. Her condition is getting worse and worse. I don't know what to do in the future," the coachman said, sighing repeatedly.
Feng Qishi: "..." He glanced at the coachman, deliberately remaining silent.
Seeing Feng Qishi's silence, the coachman felt awkward. He quickly picked up the teapot and stood up. Just as he was about to pour water into Feng Qishi's cup, Feng Qishi said, "No need."
"This..."
"I drank a lot of water in the room when I arrived, so I won't drink anymore," Feng Qishi waved his hand.
The coachman nodded, put down the teapot, and sat down.
Then, Feng Qishi glanced towards the bed and said, "I think Bing'er's complexion has improved a lot compared to before."
"It has improved, but the underlying illness has not been cured," the coachman said, his voice choked with emotion. "How can my daughter be so unfortunate?" As he spoke, tears fell.
At this moment, Feng Qishi couldn't tell whether the coachman was genuinely sad or faking it. But the moment he thought of what had happened before, he couldn't bear to continue this way. "Don't think so pessimistically. The child is still young; she'll surely be fine."
"Mm." The coachman wiped his tears.
Feng Qishi sighed softly and said, "By the way, does your room have a cellar?"
"Cellar?" the coachman asked, his eyes flickering. "Yes, why do you ask?"
"It's very cold down there. Don't let Bing'er go down," Feng Qishi said calmly.
The coachman nodded. "I know. I've never let her go down. Thank you for your concern, General."
"I should be concerned about Bing'er. You..."
Unexpectedly, before Feng Qishi could finish speaking, Lou Yi pushed the door open. As Lou Yi looked inside, he froze.
Their eyes met. Feng Qishi looked at the suddenly stunned Lou Yi and asked, "Why are you here?"
However, Lou Yi thought he had become invisible. Who knew... he had overestimated himself.
So, he smiled foolishly and didn't know what to say.
The coachman looked at Lou Yi and asked, "Who is this?" He stood up.
"A friend from outside," Feng Qishi said calmly, standing up. "Why did you come here?"
Hearing Feng Qishi's words, Lou Yi had a flash of inspiration and naturally said, "Your mansion is too big. As I wandered around, I ended up here."
"Why did you come in?" Feng Qishi asked again.
Lou Yi chuckled, "I was thirsty."
Upon hearing this, the coachman quickly picked up the teapot and poured water for Lou Yi.
Immediately after, Lou Yi cautiously glanced at Feng Qishi, walked forward quickly, took the cup of water handed to him by the coachman, and said, "Thanks." After speaking, he drank it all in one gulp.
The coachman smiled. "Look how thirsty you are."
Lou Yi smiled, put down the teacup, and inadvertently looked at Bing'er lying on the bed. "Your daughter?" he asked knowingly.
The coachman nodded. "Yes, but she's a sickly child."
"That's a real shame," Lou Yi said casually, looking around the room. "Your room is quite nice."
"Mm, it's warm in winter and cool in summer."
"Not bad," Lou Yi nodded and sat down.
At this moment, Feng Qishi couldn't help but admire Lou Yi's ability to make awkward conversation. He swallowed and, not knowing how to ask Lou Yi to leave, sat down again.
Seeing Feng Qishi sit down, the coachman also sat down.
Lou Yi smiled. "It's quite comfortable." As he spoke, he nodded towards the coachman.
The coachman smiled.
Lou Yi continued to smile.
Thus, after they both smiled at each other, the atmosphere became even more awkward.
Outside.
Mu Anxiao stood behind a tree, still wondering if Lou Yi had gone invisible. Then, a hand appeared on her shoulder. Her body stiffened, and she slowly lowered her head to look at the single hand on her shoulder and said, "Who?" She clenched her magic in her palm.
"Sneaking around, what are you doing?" As he spoke, the person removed his hand.
Hearing the voice, Mu Anxiao was stunned and muttered, "Zhao Xiang." Then she turned around.
Zhao Xiang: "What are you doing?" he asked, tilting his chin.
Mu Anxiao keenly felt the demonic energy emanating from Zhao Xiang and took a step back, leaning against the tree. "I'm watching ants climb a tree."
"Boring," Zhao Xiang said, frowning slightly. "Have you seen Mo Yun?"
"Why?"
"I asked him to arrange a guest room for me. Where is the guest room?" Zhao Xiang retorted, placing a hand on his hip and looking around. "Since you haven't seen him, I'll continue looking myself."
"If you want to go, then go. Why are you telling me?" Mu Anxiao said disdainfully.
Zhao Xiang: "If you dare to tamper with Mo Yun, you'll regret it." He pointed at Mu Anxiao and turned to leave.
Mu Anxiao frowned slightly, suddenly unable to understand Zhao Xiang.
After Zhao Xiang walked away, Mu Anxiao lowered her head and accidentally saw a red paper talisman on the ground. She muttered, "What is this?" As she spoke, she squatted down and slowly reached out her hand. For a moment, the red paper talisman emitted a red light. Seeing this, Mu Anxiao quickly withdrew her hand, thinking, it's demonic energy.
With that thought, she swallowed and reached out her hand again.
This time, she picked up the red paper talisman and saw the words 'Gu Tie' written on it. She muttered, "What is this?" As she was about to stand up, the red paper talisman suddenly disappeared, and then a soul wearing red clothes appeared behind her, calling out, "Master."
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao was startled. She quickly stood up, slowly turned around, and saw a woman in red standing in front of her. So she asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Gu Tie."
"Gu Tie... is that your name?"
Gu Tie nodded.
Mu Anxiao's eyes rolled. She felt it was a bit sudden and couldn't react.
Gu Tie: "You picked me up, so you are my master." Her voice was listless.
"I'm not your master, I..."
"You are," Gu Tie stated firmly.
Mu Anxiao was stunned. She felt that the current situation... was a bit terrifying.
But even so, she had to brazen it out and communicate with her. "Your name is Gu Tie. Is this your consciousness or your soul?" she intended to inquire.
Gu Tie blinked her eyes and said, "If Master wants to know, I will tell you."
"Tell me," Mu Anxiao tested.
"Yes, consciousness." After saying this, Gu Tie turned into a red light and disappeared.
The next second, a red paper talisman appeared in Mu Anxiao's hand.
