“But I am Shen Moyun now,” Feng Qishi insisted on his current identity.
Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi, who was stubbornly clinging to his present, with a helpless expression and was rendered speechless.
Xiao Fei, bewildered, looked at Mu Anxiao and Feng Qishi opposite her, blinked her eyes, and continued to remain silent.
Feng Qishi: “I think I need to live in the present, not… the past.” He used this to evade the topic.
Unbeknownst to him, Mu Anxiao had already seen through Feng Qishi’s thoughts. “You just don’t want to tell me what happened to you this past year, do you?” she raised her chin.
“This is my business, and it has nothing to do with you…” Feng Qishi said coldly.
Mu Anxiao let out a cold laugh. “Well said, ‘nothing to do with me.’ ” She nodded. “Fine, let’s just say I’ve been spouting nonsense. Now, I’m asking you to leave.” She pointed towards the door.
Feng Qishi also worried that Mu Anxiao would continue that topic, so he cooperated by standing up. “Then you should rest well.”
“I don’t need you to worry about me,” Mu Anxiao said deliberately, turning her head to stare at the tabletop.
Feng Qishi glanced cautiously at Mu Anxiao before leaving.
A moment later, Mu Anxiao looked up at the door that Feng Qishi had closed himself, sighed, and turned to look at Xiao Fei, who was still bewildered, opposite her. “…”
Xiao Fei gave Mu Anxiao a dry laugh and asked, “Um… who is Feng Qishi?”
“Listen to me and him talking,” Mu Anxiao said faintly.
Xiao Fei felt embarrassed at Mu Anxiao’s words. “No, I didn’t do it on purpose. Your voices were so loud, it was hard not to overhear.” She said, her gaze darting away.
“It’s better if you don’t know about this kind of thing,” Mu Anxiao said, raising two fingers.
Seeing this, Xiao Fei was startled. “What are you going to do?”
“I’ll help you erase this memory. After a while, you can lie down here and have a good nap.”
“I’m a soul, can I still nap?” Xiao Fei asked in surprise.
Mu Anxiao smiled. “Under normal circumstances, souls don’t need to sleep, but your situation is special.” With that, she immediately cast a spell on Xiao Fei.
Immediately after, Xiao Fei slumped onto the table.
After seeing Xiao Fei fall asleep, Mu Anxiao lowered her eyelids, pondering Feng Qishi’s actions from earlier, and a strong curiosity about him during the past year arose in her heart.
However, Mu Anxiao also knew that if she directly confronted him about that topic, he would continue to evade it, so this was not simple for Mu Anxiao.
She fell into thought.
The Underworld.
Lou Yi pulled the woman along as Jia walked to the center of the grand hall. What puzzled Jia was that there wasn’t a single attendant in the hall today.
Seeing this, Jia showed a confused expression.
Conversely, Lou Yi looked around cautiously. “Are they all in hiding? Are they testing us?” he said, looking down at Jia.
Jia looked up at Lou Yi and beckoned, “You come down.”
“…” Lou Yi frowned, then released the woman’s hand and slightly bent down.
The woman looked down at the obediently bowing Lou Yi and sighed. “He told you to come down, so you come down. You’re really obedient.”
Just then, Jia gave the woman a look.
Upon seeing this, the woman immediately shut her mouth.
Lou Yi remained bent over and asked, “What is it?” He was not influenced by the woman.
Hearing this, Jia withdrew his gaze fixed on the woman’s face, turned to meet Lou Yi’s eyes, smiled, and suddenly punched Lou Yi hard on the shoulder. “Are you an idiot?”
Despite Jia’s small stature, the force of his punch was immense.
Covering his shoulder, Lou Yi looked at Jia with a contorted expression, angered. “If you have something to say, say it properly. Why hit me?” he said, rubbing his shoulder as he straightened up.
The woman chuckled.
Lou Yi glanced at the woman, and she fell silent.
Jia completely disregarded Lou Yi. “Something’s not right,” he said. He turned and surveyed the surroundings before suddenly turning back and seeing Hei Feng.
Hei Feng greeted him with a smile. “Your powers of observation have improved.” He stepped past Lou Yi and stood in front of Jia.
Jia looked up and glared at Hei Feng. “Where are the other underworld officials? The judges?”
“It’s a day off today.”
“A day…” Jia uttered the word and suddenly remembered that the Underworld had a day off every month, and coincidentally, today was that day. Thus, he intentionally stopped engaging with Hei Feng and muttered to himself, “Looks like I can only come tomorrow.” Saying this, he took a step forward, about to bypass Hei Feng. Hei Feng deliberately moved to block him. Jia frowned and looked up at Hei Feng again.
Hei Feng looked down at Jia and smiled. “I didn’t say I was off today.”
“You…”
“I’m disappointed you, I am the official in charge here now,” Hei Feng said, revealing a professional fake smile.
Jia clenched his fists. “You… lied,” he gritted out.
Hei Feng smiled. “Why would I lie to you?” Saying this, he turned to look at the woman.
Seeing Hei Feng looking at her, the woman quickly averted her gaze.
Then, Hei Feng put his hands behind his back and said, “You are truly audacious, daring to harm a celestial being, and what’s more, you almost killed Mu Anxiao.” He snorted, his attitude becoming serious. “Speak, who gave you such courage?”
“…” The woman froze.
Jia also froze.
After Hei Feng spoke, Lou Yi looked at him with admiration.
Hei Feng continued with a stern face. “I’m talking to you. Are you not hearing me, or are you intentionally refusing to reply?” He narrowed his eyes.
The woman: “It was… just me, it has nothing to do with anyone else.” She said, her gaze shifting away.
Hei Feng looked calmly at the woman’s suspicious demeanor and narrowed his eyes. “You’re not planning to tell the truth.”
“I…” the woman began to speak, then stopped.
Hei Feng snorted and leaned slightly to the side, looking at Jia. “What’s her name?”
Name?
Jia had never asked this woman’s name from the beginning. Hearing Hei Feng’s question now, he felt awkward.
Thus, he also averted his gaze.
Seeing Jia’s guilty expression, Hei Feng’s serious demeanor vanished, and he instead said with a laugh, “You can’t even do this little thing right, yet you claim you want to surpass me. It’s truly laughable.” After speaking, he grinned and laughed.
Jia lowered his head, frozen.
Lou Yi and the woman dared not utter a word, their eyes fixed on Hei Feng’s back.
Hei Feng looked down at Jia’s speechless expression and continued, “Details determine success or failure. Some things cannot be achieved by mere words,” he said. “Do you understand these things?”
Hearing this, Jia slowly looked up at Hei Feng, disdainfully. “You are lecturing me.”
“Not at all, I just want to tell you…”
“What right do you have to lecture me?” Jia roared.
Hei Feng appeared indifferent. “It seems that no matter what I say, you won’t listen.”
“…” Jia glared at Hei Feng, remaining silent.
