Feng Qishi looked at the wolf demon, "What do you mean?"
"What else could I mean? In your past life's thinking, when you encountered difficulties, you solved them. If the Soul Sword can kill you like this, then it's clear the Soul Sword can also control her to kill others," the wolf demon said seriously, "I think... this problem is bound to be solved."
Hei Feng looked at the wolf demon with relief and smiled, "I didn't expect bad guys to become good."
"What do you mean by that?" The wolf demon shot Hei Feng a glare.
Hei Feng was caught off guard by the wolf demon's sudden look and felt a bit awkward, "Nothing."
"Nothing, you..."
"He's indirectly calling you a bad guy, what's there to ask?" Lin Yan interrupted, looking at Feng Qishi, "Master, what are you going to do?"
Feng Qishi hadn't thought about what to do, but the wolf demon's words gave him a new round of contemplation.
"..."
Lin Yan frowned as Feng Qishi remained silent.
The wolf demon glared at Hei Feng and asked Feng Qishi, "What are you thinking about?"
"Soul Sword... why can it control Mu Shazi?" Feng Qishi asked, looking at the wolf demon, "Do you know?"
The wolf demon looked down at Feng Qishi, who was still sitting on the ground, and smiled, "Can you stand up and talk? I don't want to talk to you while looking down."
"Answer," Feng Qishi said as he stood up.
Seeing Feng Qishi rise, the wolf demon took a deep breath and said, "Mu An Xiao can manifest the Soul Sword, which proves the Soul Sword is already one with her."
"One?" Feng Qishi didn't understand the wolf demon's meaning.
The wolf demon: "I can't explain it clearly, but I think," he said, "the Soul Sword follows Mu An Xiao's inner heart."
"Inner heart..." Feng Qishi's nerves tightened, "You mean, the Soul Sword is controlled by Mu Shazi's inner heart? So, Mu Shazi... she... genuinely doesn't want to see me."
"It's possible," the wolf demon nodded, then shook his head, "But that's not right. By rights, she should hate the Vine Spirit the most. If that's the case, shouldn't the Soul Sword control her to kill the Vine Spirit?" He had gotten himself confused.
Feng Qishi was bewildered.
Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "The Soul Sword is Mu An Xiao's magical artifact, right?" He looked at Feng Qishi.
Feng Qishi: "Yes." He believed in his disciple's ability.
Lin Yan: "Did the Soul Sword have any connection with you in the past, Master?"
"In my previous life, it was my artifact. At that time... I bravely fought enemies and stained the Soul Sword with demonic energy. From then on... it became the Soul Sword of the demonic realm. My master told me to discard the Soul Sword, and then... Mu Shazi's past life picked it up. Thus, the Soul Sword had two masters, one is her, and the other is me."
Hearing Feng Qishi's narcissistic explanation, the wolf demon tutted, "Can you stop being so narcissistic? The Soul Sword belongs to Mu An Xiao now, what does it have to do with you?"
At this, Feng Qishi glared at the wolf demon, then looked at Lin Yan, "That's how it is."
"I understand," Lin Yan said excitedly.
"What?" Feng Qishi was curious... what would Lin Yan say?
Lin Yan: "The Soul Sword feels that you are different from your past self, so it wants to go back to your past life. Therefore... it wants to get rid of you."
Feng Qishi: "..." His face was full of dark lines.
Seeing Feng Qishi's expression, Lin Yan was startled, "Master, what's wrong?"
"Disciple," Feng Qishi said earnestly, "you're indirectly saying I'm not as good as I used to be."
"..." Lin Yan gave a dry laugh.
Hei Feng laughed, "Indeed, the former Shen Yan is really different from you."
"...." Feng Qishi closed his eyes and looked at Hei Feng, "You're good. You tell me, what's the situation with the Soul Sword?"
"The Soul Sword is a demonic sword, and it follows its owner's heart," Hei Feng said, pointing at Lin Yan, "Your disciple is partly right, but I think the one who truly doesn't accept you is Mu An Xiao."
"..." Feng Qishi was stunned.
Hei Feng: "Let's not blame the Soul Sword. Mu An Xiao is a very sensible person. Besides her family, she only loses her temper regarding Shen Yan. She doesn't do that with anyone else. So," he looked at Feng Qishi, "you should wait until she accepts you before approaching her, otherwise, you'll really be... finished."
These were Hei Feng's conclusions after a period of communication with them.
Feng Qishi lowered his gaze, recalling what the old gentleman had told him when he returned. He gave a wry smile, "You're right, her master will help her."
"Mm," Hei Feng nodded.
Lin Yan and the wolf demon exchanged glances, both speechless.
Heavenly Realm.
Zhang Yan watched Mu An Xiao below, who was constantly trying to cast spells, and asked, "Disciple, what are you doing?"
Past.
Mu An Xiao was sweating profusely, casting spells repeatedly, but none of them had any effect, which made her anxious. "Master, don't speak, my spells are not working at all." While speaking, she started making the same hand gestures again and again.
Zhang Yan: "You're using demonic arts to help those mortals? Why aren't you listening to your master? You need to earn merit, so you won't be captured for using demonic arts when you return, silly disciple."
Mu An Xiao felt they no longer needed her.
Conversely, Zhang Yan had completely believed the old gentleman's words. He felt this was an opportunity for Mu An Xiao to earn merit with her demonic arts.
Therefore, for Mu An Xiao's future, he became anxious.
Mu An Xiao: "..." She had no mind to pay attention to Zhang Yan. She believed... returning was the most important thing. But the spell to return just wouldn't work, filling her heart with anxiety.
Future, Heavenly Realm.
The old gentleman stood beside Zhang Yan, looking helplessly at Zhang Yan's anxious expression, hoping Mu An Xiao would earn merit. He said, "It's really hard for your disciple to earn merit." He then glanced at the man in black.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Yan asked, turning to look at the old gentleman, "Didn't you say this is an opportunity for my disciple to earn merit?"
"Yes, that's correct, but," the old gentleman looked at Mu An Xiao, who was desperately casting spells with no visible effect, "compared to this, I think it's most important for your disciple to return."
"Didn't you teach her this?"
The old gentleman: "I didn't expect your disciple to be so weak either."
"Weak?"
"Yes, her spiritual energy is too weak, which also affects this spell. It seems only that method will work," the old gentleman said, closing his eyes and calling out, "Disciple."
Seeing the old gentleman helping Mu An Xiao, Zhang Yan said nothing more.
Dilapidated House.
Feng Qishi heard the old gentleman's voice and glanced at them, then turned away and said, "Master."
"Do you want to save Mu An Xiao and bring her back?"
"What?" Feng Qishi didn't react immediately and asked, "Master, didn't you say her master could save her?" After hearing Hei Feng's words, he had already prepared to part ways with Mu An Xiao for the time being.
