Hun Ling could not yet accept Gu Yuan's departure, so when Mu An Xiao spoke these words, he could not bear the pressure. He clenched his fists and decided to tell the truth.
Just then, Jia noticed Hun Ling's thoughts and deliberately tightened his grip on Hun Ling's arm.
Immediately, Hun Ling turned his head, his eyes filled with tears, and met Jia's gaze, "..."
Jia subtly shook his head.
Hun Ling's eyes sank. Just as he was about to break free from Jia's restraint, Gu Yan called out, "Master, I know who it is."
Hearing this, Hun Ling stopped struggling and, along with Ouyang Ye and Mu An Xiao, turned to look at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan, afraid that Gu Yan would speak carelessly, whispered a threat in her ear, "If you dare to speak nonsense, I'm not done with you." She tightened her grip on Gu Yan's arm.
Immediately, Gu Yan withdrew her gaze, met Gu Yan's deliberately widened eyes, and said in a low voice, "Don't you think you're being very suspicious?"
"You..."
"If you don't want me to speak carelessly, let go of your hand and trust me," Gu Yan interrupted coldly, her eyes sharp, "You know I'll do anything."
"What exactly do you want?" Gu Yan became anxious.
On the contrary, Gu Yan remained calm. "Let go of your hand, I have something to say to Master. If you keep holding onto me, I'll sell you out right now."
"You..." Gu Yan admitted she couldn't argue with Gu Yan at this moment and finally compromised, releasing her hand.
Immediately, Ouyang Ye, who had been waiting for Gu Yan's reply, could wait no longer. "Gu Yan, reply."
Hearing this, Gu Yan hurriedly turned to look at Ouyang Ye and said, "Master, before Gu Yuan left, she said she hoped to return Gu Tie's soul to her. If possible," she glanced at Gu Yan and approached Ouyang Ye, "I hope you can agree."
Gu Tie?
Mu An Xiao listened to the request made by Gu Yan and realized that Gu Tie's soul might be here. However, to avoid alerting the enemy, she could only wait.
"This..." Ouyang Ye said, indeed shifting his gaze to Mu An Xiao's face.
Similarly, Mu An Xiao knew that Ouyang Ye would look at her when Gu Yan brought up this topic. As expected, her guess was right. "Why are you looking at me?" she pretended to be ignorant.
Ouyang Ye: "Aren't you looking for Gu Tie's soul? She's right here."
"She's right here," Mu An Xiao worried this was a plot by Ouyang Ye and said defensively, "Oh, why are you telling me this?"
"You..."
"These are all vengeful spirits, there's no Gu Tie at all, you're trying to trick me," Mu An Xiao deliberately said.
Ouyang Ye smiled.
In response, Mu An Xiao feigned confusion, "Just say it clearly, why are you laughing?"
"I thought you cared a lot about Gu Tie, but it turns out to be like this."
"Like what?"
"Figure it out yourself," Ouyang Ye said, turning his gaze back to Gu Yan, who was still standing in place. "You go in."
Gu Yan frowned, "Master, I..."
"Find Gu Tie's soul for me. If you can't find it, I'll hold you accountable," Ouyang Ye intentionally interrupted Gu Yan.
Gu Yan felt unhappy upon hearing this, "Yes, but..." she said, glancing at Gu Yan, "Master, can you let her accompany me?"
"Why?" Ouyang Ye asked deliberately.
Everything was going according to plan. Gu Yan wanted Gu Yan to respond like this, so as soon as Ouyang Ye asked this question, she pretended to be a "good person," "Master, I'll accompany her."
Gu Yan's lips curled.
Ouyang Ye looked at Gu Yan and said deliberately, "Aren't you at odds with her? Why... do you want to help her?"
"Master, I'll do as you say. If you tell me to go, I'll go. If you tell me not to go, I won't. Everything..." Gu Yan slightly nodded, "is up to you to decide."
"Go ahead," Ouyang Ye relented.
Gu Yan smiled slightly, "Yes, Master." Saying this, she turned and walked towards Gu Yan.
After Gu Yan agreed, Gu Yan also responded, "Master, then we're going in." After speaking, she glanced at Gu Yan and turned to walk ahead.
Gu Yan followed closely behind.
After Gu Yan and Gu Yan were arranged, Jia let go of Hun Ling's arm. At this moment, Hun Ling's grief had also lessened a bit after Gu Yan mentioned Gu Yuan's "last wish."
After Gu Yan and Gu Yan went in, Ouyang Ye shifted his gaze to Mu An Xiao's face.
Mu An Xiao deliberately put the sack she was holding behind her back, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Who do you think hurt Gu Yuan?" Ouyang Ye suddenly handed the right to "solve the case" to Mu An Xiao.
Mu An Xiao thought Ouyang Ye had let go of the matter of Gu Yuan. Who knew that after Gu Yan and Gu Yan went in, he would bring up this topic again? Mu An Xiao couldn't help but show a look of confusion, "..." She didn't know how to answer his question.
This time, Hun Ling did not react, because he remembered how Gu Yuan had spoken up for him at that time. He thought that if he stepped forward and told Ouyang Ye the truth, it would be a betrayal of Gu Yuan. Moreover, he had just observed Gu Yan's expression and found that things were not simple.
Jia glanced at the silent Hun Ling and breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, Ouyang Ye was still waiting for Mu An Xiao's reply.
Mu An Xiao looked at Ouyang Ye's expectant face and, after thinking for a moment, finally spoke, "Why are you asking me?" She didn't want to get involved in their affairs.
Ouyang Ye said seriously, "I hope you can assist me."
"Assist me, what do you mean?" Mu An Xiao retorted, genuinely not understanding what Ouyang Ye wanted to convey.
"I want to find the real killer who killed Gu Yuan. To be honest," Ouyang Ye said, glancing at the surrounding vengeful spirits, "all of this is too strange."
"This is your demon realm's business, it has nothing to do with me."
"You are my fiancée, you have the right to help me solve problems," Ouyang Ye said righteously.
Mu An Xiao sneered, "Other people's wives enjoy a comfortable life at home. I," she pointed to herself, "haven't even properly started dating you yet, and you're already acting this way. Tsk tsk, I can't imagine how you'll treat me in the future, it's too terrifying." She pursed her lips.
Ouyang Ye was speechless.
Jia and Hun Ling exchanged glances, not knowing how to comment on Mu An Xiao.
In the next second, Mu An Xiao deliberately said, "My life is so bitter, so bitter." As she said this, she glanced at Ouyang Ye and found that he was completely indifferent.
Immediately, Ouyang Ye, with no intention of comforting Mu An Xiao, said, "Gu Yuan cannot have died for no reason. I must find the killer." His eyes were firm. "Mu An Xiao, I believe you can help me."
"What is your relationship with her?" Mu An Xiao asked, suddenly curious about Ouyang Ye's thoughts...
