"No, what are you talking about?" Mu Anxiao was completely confused by what Feng Qishi had said.
"I heard everything you said, she was about to..."
"Shen Moyun, I think you've misunderstood something," Mu Anxiao interrupted.
Feng Qishi frowned slightly. "What have I misunderstood? She was about to attack you with poison just now, Mu Anxiao, can you stop being so foolish?"
"..." Mu Anxiao looked at Feng Qishi's serious expression and couldn't help but laugh.
Feng Qishi was bewildered.
Mai Liang looked at Feng Qishi in terror, who had mistaken her for a villain, and dared not make a sound.
Then, after Mu Anxiao's laughter subsided a bit, Feng Qishi asked, "No, what are you laughing at?"
"Let her go, and I'll tell you," Mu Anxiao said, pointing at Feng Qishi as she laughed.
Feng Qishi: "Let her go? No."
"..." Mu Anxiao saw Feng Qishi's stubborn expression and put on a stern face. "I told you to let her go, so let her go. Why are you so stubborn?"
"I..."
"Let go," Mu Anxiao roared.
Seeing Mu Anxiao angry, Feng Qishi withdrew the spell controlling Mai Liang and took a half-step back. "Mu Anxiao, you just keep being foolish."
"If anyone is foolish, it's you," Mu Anxiao said, looking at Mai Liang, who was still cautiously observing Feng Qishi. She continued, "Don't be afraid of him." xxs壹贰
Hearing this, Mai Liang turned to look at Mu Anxiao. "He's also an immortal."
"You only realize that now?" Mu Anxiao had always thought Mai Liang knew Feng Qishi's identity. It turned out she had been overthinking.
"..." Mai Liang glanced at Feng Qishi and said, "I can't sense the abilities of an immortal."
"Then how did you... come to find me?" Mu Anxiao asked directly.
Mai Liang: "That's because you used the name Mu Xiao. Oh, right," she said, her eyes becoming cautious, "Where is Mu Xiao now?"
"..." Mu Anxiao's eyes darted away.
Mai Liang observed the changes in Mu Anxiao's expression and asked again, "Is it inconvenient for her to tell me where she is, or has something happened to her?"
"She's like you," Mu Anxiao decided to lie.
Mai Liang frowned. "What do you mean by that?" She took a step forward.
Feng Qishi looked down at Mai Liang's expression, clenching one fist slightly, ready to deal with her at any moment.
"What I mean is... no," Mu Anxiao said, "She's different from you."
"What?"
"She's cultivating immortality and isn't dead, but you..."
"Don't lie to me," Mai Liang suddenly said.
Mu Anxiao was startled. "How... how did I lie to you? I'm telling the truth."
"She's already dead, isn't she?" Mai Liang said in a low voice.
At this moment, Mu Anxiao was genuinely frightened by Mai Liang's sudden reply. Looking at Mai Liang, she clenched her fists, deliberately trying to appear more resolute as she said, "No."
"No, you..."
"I've already told your sister some things," Mu Anxiao interrupted. "Even if you ask again, I'll say the same thing, so I don't want to waste my breath."
"You're not lying to me?" Mai Liang asked.
Mu Anxiao realized that Mai Liang must be trying to confirm Mu Xiao's life or death for her sister. If she told Mai Liang the truth, then Mai Xia would also lose trust in her. For the sake of this trust and her identity, she knew she couldn't slip up.
"No," she pretended to be natural.
Mai Liang looked at Mu Anxiao's calm expression and hesitated for a moment. "Alright, I believe you. I won't pursue this matter anymore. Now," she asked, "can you tell me when you're leaving?"
"That..." Mu Anxiao said, pointing at Feng Qishi. "You have to ask him."
Following Mu Anxiao's gaze, Mai Liang looked up at Feng Qishi, not daring to speak.
Feng Qishi calmly looked at Mai Liang's face and said, "You ask."
"I..."
As Mai Liang uttered just one word, Mu Anxiao said with deep helplessness, "Shen Moyun, you're poisonous. You should just answer directly. I really don't understand why you're acting so proper."
"..." Feng Qishi looked at Mu Anxiao.
Seeing Feng Qishi looking at her, Mu Anxiao's eyes darted away. "What are you looking at me for? Just answer the question. As for other things," Mu Anxiao didn't want Feng Qishi to know about her affairs with Mai Liang, so she became impatient. "Don't interfere, okay?"
"No."
"Why?" Mu Anxiao's tone was firm.
Feng Qishi's eyes were filled with seriousness. "Because you are Mu Anxiao."
"I'm not Mu Anxiao, I'm Mu Xiao," Mu Anxiao said deliberately.
Feng Qishi: "You've already admitted it," he said, and then looked at Mai Liang. "Speak."
"..." Mai Liang didn't want to tell Feng Qishi about the matters in the manor, so the moment he asked, she shifted her gaze to Mu Anxiao's face.
Seeing Mai Liang's gaze, Mu Anxiao's sense of duty immediately increased. "Some things, I know myself, what's it to you?" she glared angrily at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi: "Your affairs are all related to me."
"You..."
"Speak," Feng Qishi insisted, his gaze fixed on Mai Liang's face.
Mai Liang looked troubled. "Mu Anxiao, please... help me."
"..." Mu Anxiao felt disgusted by Feng Qishi's persistence, so she took a deep breath and said, "Shen Moyun, that's enough."
"Not enough," Feng Qishi continued to stare at Mai Liang's face.
Mai Liang glanced at Feng Qishi, not daring to speak.
Seeing Feng Qishi like this, Mu Anxiao considered their relationship and compromised. "Mai Liang, speak."
Mai Liang was stunned. "Mu Anxiao, what did you say?"
"Speak. As long as he knows, he has to help us," Mu Anxiao arranged for herself.
Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi quickly turned to look at Mu Anxiao, his eyes wide. "Mu Anxiao, I won't help you."
"If you know, you have to help, unless you give up," Mu Anxiao said shamelessly.
