Chapter 1746 She Understands Everything

Mu Anxiao stiffened upon hearing this. She quickly nudged Feng Qishi’s arm and said, “What they’re saying is all lies, don’t believe it.” She was still worried they would use this incident as a cover to continue doing bad things, so she didn't want Feng Qishi to believe them so easily.

Conversely, Feng Qishi felt it was more satisfying to get straight to the point than to ask pointless questions. Therefore, he did not respond to Mu Anxiao’s words.

The first black-clothed man, interrupted by Mu Anxiao, dared not speak.

Feng Qishi, seeing the first black-clothed man remaining silent, frowned, "Why aren't you speaking?"

The first black-clothed man cautiously glanced at Mu Anxiao, conveying with his eyes that he dared not.

Feng Qishi understood the first black-clothed man's meaning and said, "Speak, don’t mind her."

Don't mind her?

Clearly, Feng Qishi’s words provoked Mu Anxiao. She immediately grabbed Feng Qishi’s arm and said, "Come out with me for a bit."

"What for?" Feng Qishi asked coldly, turning his head.

Mu Anxiao looked up, glaring at Feng Qishi’s indifferent and extremely cold face, and said, "I have my reasons for you to come out with me, so stop wasting time." She widened her eyes.

Feng Qishi: "..." He intentionally remained silent.

Then, seeing Feng Qishi completely uncooperative, Mu Anxiao became angry. "Shen Moyun, you’ve really had enough," she said, ignoring the three of them, and dragged Feng Qishi towards the door.

The second black-clothed man glanced at the first black-clothed man and pursed his lips.

The woman stood in place, watching Mu Anxiao forcefully drag Feng Qishi away. Her eyes darkened, and she turned to look at the second black-clothed man opposite her.

The second black-clothed man, sensing the woman’s gaze, turned sideways.

The first black-clothed man happened to see this scene. He looked at them both without saying a word.

Outside the room.

Mu Anxiao stopped, pulling Feng Qishi to a corner not far from the room, and said, "You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" She let go of his arm and glared at Feng Qishi under the light of the lantern above.

Feng Qishi looked down at Mu Anxiao and said, "Why didn't you just say it directly?"

"Say it directly..." Mu Anxiao let out a soft hum, glanced sideways at the door, and then turned back to whisper, "It's already a strange thing for that Yao Hun to converse with them. If I believed them..."

"It was true from the start."

"Luring the prey into the trap, you understand?"

"Luring the prey into the trap has nothing to do with this matter of yours, right?" Feng Qishi stated directly.

Mu Anxiao was taken aback and frowned slightly. She retorted, "How can it not? Let me explain it this way," she began to explain based on her understanding, "This time, I am the rabbit, and I ran into their hands myself. Next time, they will be waiting, right?"

"But the result is that those people never caught the rabbit," Feng Qishi said, crossing his arms.

Hearing Feng Qishi’s words, Mu Anxiao suddenly realized that her own thinking might indeed have had a problem. She fell into deep thought.

Feng Qishi calmly watched Mu Anxiao’s expression, which could be either genuine thought or feigned contemplation, and said, "Stop thinking. They won’t catch you anyway."

"..." Mu Anxiao listened to Feng Qishi’s words, tilted her head up, and smiled, "What you said makes quite a bit of sense."

"What I say inherently makes sense," Feng Qishi said unpretentiously.

Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao rolled her eyes at Feng Qishi and said, "Then we’ll believe them."

"Mm," Feng Qishi nodded and pointed towards the room, "Let's go back."

"Okay, go back..." Mu Anxiao said halfway through, then suddenly remembered the relationship between the woman and the second black-clothed man. She furtively glanced behind them, then stepped forward, grabbed Feng Qishi’s arm, and whispered, "I have a question for you."

Feng Qishi stiffened, a bad premonition dawning on him.

"..." He remained silent.

Seeing Feng Qishi’s silence, Mu Anxiao continued, "Are you and I partners?"

Feng Qishi was confused, "Why are you asking this?"

"Are we?" Mu Anxiao raised her chin.

Feng Qishi thought for a moment and said, "If we consider this current mission, then yes, you and I are indeed partners."

"Then am I your person?" Mu Anxiao stated directly.

Feng Qishi’s expression froze. Recalling what he had overheard outside the door, he took half a step back and said, "Of course not."

"If we are partners, then isn't that... being your person? Then, if we go by that logic," Mu Anxiao thought for a moment, a smile creeping to her lips, "then I've also entered the palace, so that woman could also enter the palace. Why do they all say no?"

"They are not in a partnership," Feng Qishi explained simply.

"Not..." Mu Anxiao repeated, frowning slightly. "Then why did she say she was his... person." She froze at this point.

Seeing this, Feng Qishi waved his hand in front of Mu Anxiao’s face twice and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Mu Anxiao, completely unaffected, thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "I know, those two... they are husband and wife." As she spoke, she looked up at Feng Qishi.

However, Feng Qishi had assumed Mu Anxiao understood nothing and had therefore avoided the topic. He hadn't expected... he had been naive. "Now, you understand," he said in a low voice.

Mu Anxiao nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "So, she really cannot enter the palace. But," she lowered her gaze, "if You Xian enters the palace, there will definitely be trouble. What should we do?"

"What did you say?" Feng Qishi hadn't heard Mu Anxiao clearly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao looked up at Feng Qishi and said, "Didn't you see?"

"See what?" Feng Qishi was puzzled.

Mu Anxiao: "Didn't you see that girl is You Xian?"

"You Xian..." Feng Qishi repeated, astonished, "How did she get here?"

"I don't know," Mu Anxiao said, sighing softly. "As it turns out, the Yao Hun took a liking to her."

Feng Qishi asked, "What do you think?" He knew Mu Anxiao must have her own ideas.

Mu Anxiao shook her head slightly and said profoundly, "I don't know yet. Let's listen to what they have to say first." After speaking, she turned and walked away first.

Feng Qishi could see that Mu Anxiao was already thinking of a solution.

A quarter of an hour later.

After communicating with them, Mu Anxiao decided to follow the Yao Hun's instructions.

"There's half an hour left," Mu Anxiao said, sitting at the table and looking at the two black-clothed men opposite her.

They both nodded, and the second black-clothed man became worried, "Do you think... that voice... will really not kill us?" He felt that Mu Anxiao, who could even scare away wolves, must have the ability to discern these things.

Mu Anxiao rested her cheek on her hand and looked at the second black-clothed man who was asking cautiously, "What, are you scared?"

"Not really, it's just..." the second black-clothed man gave a dry laugh, his voice trembling, "I find it a bit... unbelievable. To be honest, I still can't believe we're working for a voice." He then chuckled awkwardly twice.
