Mu Anxiao felt relief, so she gently covered her neck, breathing as she looked at Amei, who had suddenly frozen in place, and asked in confusion, "What's going on?" As she spoke, she took a step forward and slowly reached out to test Amei's breath, then exclaimed in shock, "No way."
The next second, Amei collapsed.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao flinched back half a step in fright.
At the same time, Feng Qishi arrived. "What happened?" he asked.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's eyes glazed over. She slowly turned her head to look at Feng Qishi and said, "She... she's dead." She pointed at Amei, regretting her earlier movement.
Feng Qishi: "How is that possible?" As he spoke, he quickly walked forward, crouched down, and reached out to test Amei's breath. He froze.
"What should we do?" Mu Anxiao asked, lowering her head to stare at Feng Qishi's profile.
Feng Qishi didn't speak. He quickly tried to cast a spell.
Mu Anxiao clenched her fists, her heart filled with tension.
After a minute of resuscitation, Feng Qishi withdrew his hand and stood up. "What did you do?" he asked, looking down at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao had no idea what had happened. She slightly lowered her eyelids, panicking. "I don't know. I just kicked her."
"Where did you kick her?" Feng Qishi asked in a low voice.
Mu Anxiao looked down at Amei's leg and said, "Where else could I kick her? Of course, her leg."
"Her leg?"
"Mhmm." Mu Anxiao nodded and looked up at Feng Qishi.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi pulled Mu Anxiao down to squat with him.
Mu Anxiao was bewildered. "What are you doing?" she asked, turning to stare at Feng Qishi.
"Let's check her leg for injuries," Feng Qishi said calmly.
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao's hand trembled as she reached out and touched Amei's lower leg. She exclaimed in surprise, "Oh no, she's bleeding." As she spoke, she withdrew her hand and looked down at the blood on her palm.
Unexpectedly, at that very moment, Feng Qishi's expression suddenly turned grim. "Do you hate her that much?"
"What do you mean, I hate her?"
"If you didn't hate her, why would you kill her?" Feng Qishi had readily believed Zhao Xiang.
Mu Anxiao's expression stiffened. "You mean I killed her? Shen Moyun, what exactly do you mean?"
"You..."
"Whatever your friend says is what it is, and whatever I say is all lies," Mu Anxiao said in despair. "That's what you mean, right?"
"You..."
"Shen Moyun, I see through you." Mu Anxiao interrupted and reached for Amei's arm.
Feng Qishi looked confused. "What are you going to do?"
"What can I do? In your eyes, I'm such a vicious person. Since that's the case, give me three days, and I'll definitely give you an answer. By then, it will be the day we completely part ways."
"Mu Anxiao, can you stop causing trouble?" Feng Qishi was getting anxious.
"I'm not causing trouble. I really don't know if it's you or me causing trouble. Your friend Zhao Xiang is a demon. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do." As she spoke, Mu Anxiao forcefully pulled Amei up. "I don't believe she's dead."
"Mu Anxiao, what are you thinking?" Feng Qishi suddenly asked.
Mu Anxiao was startled and turned to look at Feng Qishi. "Look at this," she said, pointing at the hairpin that had fallen beside Amei's hand.
Then, following Mu Anxiao's finger, Feng Qishi looked down at the hairpin and asked, "What is this?" xxs1
"This was the tool she was going to use to kill me. If I hadn't kicked her, I would have been blinded." Mu Anxiao felt there was no need to hide the truth, so she told him everything.
"Why didn't you use magic?" Feng Qishi asked.
Mu Anxiao: "Magic? I just kicked her lightly, and she ended up like this. If I had used magic, wouldn't she have turned to dust?" After saying this, she continued to hold Amei's arm.
If Feng Qishi had to choose between Zhao Xiang and Mu Anxiao, he would choose Mu Anxiao.
It wasn't because of 'feelings,' but simply because he had a certain understanding of Mu Anxiao. As for Zhao Xiang, he had only known him for a few months, and if it came to understanding, he didn't know much about Zhao Xiang.
Moreover, taking Mu Anxiao's words into account, he realized... this woman had also ended up like this after losing consciousness.
It would be too one-sided to blame everything on Mu Anxiao. Not only that, but Mu Anxiao's explanation was also reasonable and well-founded.
Looking at Mu Anxiao now, he thought about his persistent words earlier. His eyes darkened, and he said, "Put her down."
"What are you going to do? Arrest me?" Mu Anxiao no longer intended to trust Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi: "Put her down, and I'll help you figure this out."
"I don't dare."
"Why?" Feng Qishi asked, confused.
Mu Anxiao: "Why else? If you save her, that's good. If you can't save her, you'll definitely make me go and be buried with her. Anyway, I understand now. You like your brothers and dislike me. Since that's the case, I have nothing more to say to you from now on."
Feng Qishi's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but say, "I'm sorry."
"Why are you apologizing to me? You..."
"Actually, I also feel that Zhao Xiang is not quite right." Feng Qishi suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao immediately laid Amei flat on the ground and asked, "What do you mean by that?" She was completely captivated by Feng Qishi's words.
Feng Qishi: "The Zhao Xiang of the past wasn't like this."
"If not like this, then what was he like?" Mu Anxiao was curious.
Feng Qishi said calmly, "Simple, honest, and sloppy."
Mu Anxiao's mouth twitched. "Are you praising him or insulting him?"
"That's all I know about him. Just a month ago," Feng Qishi said, "he was injured, and then he went home. It was also at that time that I learned he was from a wealthy family."
"So, you mean he was hiding himself all along?"
"Yes, I feel like he..." Halfway through his sentence, Feng Qishi suddenly remembered the incense that he had destroyed. So he quickly asked, "Right, when did she wake up?" He remembered her losing consciousness.
Mu Anxiao: "Not long ago, she suddenly woke up."
"Suddenly?" Feng Qishi was shocked.
Mu Anxiao nodded. "Yes. To be honest," she said, "after you all left, I used magic to heal her. But for some reason, she suddenly lost her temperature. Then, while I didn't know what to do, she woke up. I thought everything was fine, but who knew..." She trailed off.
Feng Qishi looked confused. "Why did you stop talking?"
Mu Anxiao sighed softly. "If you don't believe me, why should I say so much?" As she spoke, she turned her face away.
Seeing Mu Anxiao like this, Feng Qishi said firmly, "Mu Anxiao, from now on, if I don't believe you, you can ask me for silver."
"Silver?" Mu Anxiao repeated, turning back to look at Feng Qishi. "What do you take me for?" She said this deliberately to give herself an out.
"You..."
"Alright, then, for the sake of the silver, I'll continue." Mu Anxiao interrupted.
Feng Qishi was speechless for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, you continue." He pointed at Mu Anxiao.
