Mu Anxiao thought she was about to get a capable assistant, but unexpectedly, before things could even begin, they were facing an end.
This was something she found truly difficult to accept.
"No, what do you mean?" She still hoped Feng Qishi could offer some more help.
Feng Qishi: "The only thing we can do now is find her soul. Only then..."
"Can't she be saved?" Mu Anxiao interrupted, looking down at Gu Tie leaning against her.
Feng Qishi shook his head.
"You..." Mu Anxiao clenched her fist, "Why is it like this?"
"Master, don't be sad. Gu Tie will surely help you well before she dies," Gu Tie said softly.
"Don't say that. Gu Tie, although we haven't known each other for long, our meeting is destiny. Don't worry, I will definitely..."
"Mu Anxiao, don't make wild promises. There's no hope," Feng Qishi cut in.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao fell silent.
Immediately after, Gu Tie slowly straightened up and said, "Master, I'm much better." She took a few breaths.
Seeing Gu Tie like this, Mu Anxiao asked, "You're not uncomfortable anymore?"
"Much better," Gu Tie said, looking at Feng Qishi, "Thanks to him, I'm much better."
Listening to Gu Tie's words, Mu Anxiao turned to look at Feng Qishi and asked, "Is there a time limit?"
"My magic can sustain her for a month within her body."
"A month."
"Yes, we have a month to find her soul. As long as the soul is found, she'll be fine. If not..."
"Don't say it," Mu Anxiao interrupted, unable to accept reality.
Feng Qishi sighed softly, "It's good that you understand."
Mu Anxiao lowered her eyes.
Feng Qishi, looking at Mu Anxiao's dejected expression and recalling the recent situation, asked, "The coachman said..."
"That wasn't the coachman," Gu Tie interrupted.
Feng Qishi was startled and looked at Gu Tie, "What's going on?"
Gu Tie glanced at Mu Anxiao and said faintly, "Master, you tell him."
Mu Anxiao hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said, "That was Ouyang Ye."
"Ouyang Ye?" Feng Qishi was surprised, then recalled events from a year ago. His eyes darkened, "This time, it's his doing again."
"Not necessarily," Mu Anxiao said quietly.
"How is it not necessarily? If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble. You..."
"Don't get agitated," Mu Anxiao said calmly.
Feng Qishi listened to Mu Anxiao's words and stabilized his emotions, "You continue."
"I suspect he hasn't been here long. In other words," Mu Anxiao said, "he's just the manipulator behind the scenes, and his goal is simply..."
"He recognized you?"
"Yes, it was after that incident with Gu Qin that my aura was released, and he recognized me... but his goal isn't me."
"Then who is it?"
"It's you." Mu Anxiao's eyes were firm.
Feng Qishi was taken aback, "Me?"
"Yes, but we'll have to wait until Gu Qin arrives to make a judgment on the specifics."
"Gu Qin?" Feng Qishi was shocked. "Didn't Gu Qin go down?"
"She went down. I sent Jia to find her again because," Mu Anxiao's expression was heavy, and she continued, "as you said, she is... she has a twin sister."
"What?" Feng Qishi was shocked again.
"Don't be surprised. However, the specifics are different from what you said. Their relationship," Mu Anxiao said, shaking her head slightly, "doesn't seem to be very good."
"But I still guessed correctly," Feng Qishi said smugly.
Mu Anxiao glared at Feng Qishi and then looked at Gu Tie, "You can come back now."
"Yes," Gu Tie nodded, transformed back into a red talisman, and fell into Mu Anxiao's hand.
Then, Mu Anxiao put the red talisman into her pocket and said, "Let's go back first."
"Alright," Feng Qishi nodded and followed Mu Anxiao.
In the blink of an eye.
Feng Qishi followed Mu Anxiao into the room and immediately saw Bing'er lying on the table. He exclaimed in surprise, "What's going on?" He looked at Mu Anxiao.
After Mu Anxiao turned and closed the door, she said, "Bing'er has been possessed by Gu Qin's twin sister. The healthy Bing'er we usually see is that person." She looked at Feng Qishi.
"What?" Feng Qishi said, walking to the table and looking down at the sallow-faced Bing'er. His eyes darkened, "You brought her here." As he spoke, he gently took Bing'er's wrist.
Mu Anxiao: "Mm."
"Do you know when she was possessed? Does that Gu Qin not know?" Feng Qishi asked, releasing his hand and turning to Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao shook her head slightly, "I don't know the specifics."
"You..."
"But I know Ouyang Ye's scheme is for you to marry her," Mu Anxiao interrupted. She felt these words could be shared with him now.
Feng Qishi: "Marry her..." He said, looking down at Bing'er, "He's completely mad."
"I think he's mad too. What he's doing now is killing Bing'er so that woman can completely take over her body. However," Mu Anxiao said, thinking of Ouyang Ye's hypocritical back, "it seems he's encountered an obstacle."
"An obstacle?"
"Yes, according to his character, he would have acted instantly. But, when Lou Yi and I went there just now, he clearly hesitated," Mu Anxiao said calmly.
Feng Qishi narrowed his eyes.
Lou Yi quickly added, "I also noticed that he seemed to be thinking about something."
"Thinking," Feng Qishi repeated.
Mu Anxiao: "Please help me think. I'm a bit overwhelmed." She was still thinking about Gu Tie's situation, so she stepped forward and sat on a chair, covering Bing'er with a blanket.
Feng Qishi took Mu Anxiao's words as a cue to think. He turned to Mu Anxiao and asked, "When did he arrive here?"
"He?" Mu Anxiao withdrew her hand and thought for a moment, "I don't know. Don't you know the coachman quite well? You..." She froze mid-sentence.
Feng Qishi, seeing this, asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Mu Anxiao blinked and said, "I know."
"Know what?" Feng Qishi asked softly.
"Yesterday evening, the coachman disappeared. But Gu Qin said he went to wash the horses. This..." Mu Anxiao stopped speaking, her thoughts suddenly becoming disjointed and incomprehensible.
Feng Qishi also stopped.
Lou Yi exchanged glances with Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi. Just as he was about to speak, Jia's head emerged from the ground. He flinched back in fright and said, "Boss, you're back."
"I'm back," Jia said guiltily and appeared before them.
Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi simultaneously cast their gazes on Jia, speaking in unison: "Where is Gu Qin?" They both wanted to know the news.
Being questioned uniformly by them, Jia lowered his head.
Lou Yi, looking at Jia's guilty demeanor, said calmly, "Boss, do you have any hidden difficulties?"
"Hei Feng wouldn't let me bring her back," Jia said, looking up at Mu Anxiao. "I couldn't do anything about it, so I came back."
"..." Mu Anxiao frowned.
