Even though it had nothing to do with her, Yan Fei felt a tightness in her chest for some reason.
It's like, it's like...
"Mu Xian..."
Chapter 35 I will take good care of the hall master.
"Mu Xian?"
Aja kept repeating the name in his mouth, his unusually high emotional intelligence preventing him from noticing Yanfei's condition.
"Lady Yanfei, what are you saying?"
When I came back from my dazed state, the tightness in my chest hadn't disappeared; instead, it intensified and escalated into suffocation.
For some reason, Yan Fei feels that she is constantly being influenced by that boy named Hu Muxuan.
Even though Yanfei could sense that he inexplicably disliked her, she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
He feels happy just talking to himself, but he feels extremely uncomfortable seeing him being affectionate with others.
Yanfei gradually understood the reason for this feeling.
However, they just look alike...
Yan Fei touched her chest, and then, as if she had figured something out, the feeling of suffocation gradually disappeared.
"You must have misheard me. I didn't say anything."
Yan Fei regained her composure and waved her hand, "Alright, alright, it's time to go back."
"This matter isn't a huge deal, but it's not insignificant either. Since you're involved, you'll definitely be punished."
"However, as long as you cooperate obediently, go to the Northern Bank to see who the Fools who entrusted you are, they might give you a lighter punishment."
Footsteps approached from behind, and Yan Fei's expression flashed with a complex look before she quickly recovered.
Turning around, I saw Mu Xian supporting Hu Tao standing in front of me.
Yan Fei glanced at Mu Xian first, and found that Mu Xian was turning his head away, still looking the same as before.
I felt a strange sense of loss.
However, as my gaze shifted downwards and I saw the two hands that had somehow let go, my previous disappointment vanished.
"Master Hu, it's time for us to leave as well."
To cover up her little actions, Yan Fei quickly looked at Hu Tao: "But is Hall Master Hu alright?"
"Don't worry, I just wanted to sleep."
As she spoke, Hu Tao pushed Mu Xian aside and tried to take a few steps on her own, but she almost fell to the ground after only a short while.
Fortunately, the sharp-eyed Mu Xian immediately helped Hu Tao up, allowing Hu Tao to lean most of her weight on him.
"I'm sorry, it was a mistake this time."
Hu Tao, who had been helped up, was a little embarrassed: "It's all thanks to Little Wood."
Mu Xian kept his head down, not wanting to speak to Yan Fei out of disgust, even though she wasn't the one he was supposed to be talking to...
The sunlight gradually became less intense and dazzling, and then even the surface of Yunlaihai was tinged with a hazy yellow.
The four, including Aja, returned to Liyue Harbor, and Yanfei immediately took Aja to the General Affairs Department.
As Yan Fei left, Mu Xian's expression improved considerably. He then took Hu Tao back to the Hall of Rebirth and placed her in a room to rest.
Hu Tao, unusually, didn't pester Mu Xian, allowing him to leave the room.
As Mu Xian walked out of the room, he couldn't help but recall the events of the day.
How should I put it? For some reason, things went quite smoothly, more smoothly than I expected.
Based on Mu Xian's past experience, such matters usually take half a month to resolve.
Thinking this, Mu Xian stopped in front of a certain room, where a calming fragrance wafted out from under the door.
Besides the fragrance, a melodious tune drifted out from inside the house.
The singing was melodious, yet it gave Mu Xian a sense of familiarity.
This sense of familiarity stirred up Mu Xian's memories, and a little girl slowly appeared in Mu Xian's mind.
Mu Xian remembered that he had just been released after being captured by Qianyan Army, and he walked into a small alley while starving.
In the alley, a pretty little girl was diligently reciting Liyue's opera lyrics. Every few lines, she would hug her legs and cry on the ground.
The crying annoyed Mu Xian, who then said something to the little girl that he can no longer recall.
After that, Mu Xian would always encounter this little girl in the alley.
Until Mu Xian was adopted by Ning Guang and saw the little girl for the last time, it seemed that Mu Xian made some kind of promise with the girl.
As for the specifics, Mu Xian only remembered making a pinky promise with the little girl, and couldn't remember anything else.
Mu Xian's mood inexplicably became uncomfortable.
The contract alone had already made Mu Xian feel uneasy, and now another agreement had appeared.
Without any politeness, he pushed open the door and entered. As expected, the figure was sitting in the middle of the room.
Even though the room was dimly lit, Zhongli's face was still clearly reflected in Mu Xian's eyes.
The leader of Yunhan Society stood on the other side, and his singing abruptly stopped.
"Mr. Zhongli, I'll be going now."
As Mu Xian pushed open the door and entered, Yun Jin turned to leave.
Previous memories made Mu Xian take a special look at Yun Jin as they passed each other.
For some reason, Mu Xian seemed to sense hurried footsteps accelerating behind him.
Before Mu Xian could make a decision, Yun Jin had already left quickly, as if the previous panic was just an illusion.
"I think I remember her." Mu Xian looked away and muttered.
"I told you you know her."
Zhong Li said, and moved a chair over from the side: "Let's sit down and talk about it."
Putting aside his past memories, Mu Xian remembered the important reason for coming here: "Is the sect leader alright?"
Although Mu Xian did not see Zhong Li along the way, he believed that the man knew about what had happened today.
"There is no danger to life, but the overdraft of the power to suppress the filth has deepened the erosion of the body."
Zhong Li said, "If we're going to Inazuma, the sooner the better."
This time, Mu Xian did not answer immediately, but sat down in the chair that Zhong Li had moved out.
"I see."
Mu Xian paused for a long time before asking again, "That dream I had, was it something you created?"
"What does it matter whether it is or not?"
Zhongli's tone was calm and composed: "As long as you believe this dream is real, that's all that matters."
"Did the sect leader tell you to do this?"
Mu Xian's tone turned unfriendly and angry: "I remember the contract didn't include these things."
"The sect leader doesn't know about this."
Zhongli explained, "Being kind to others and greeting them with a smile—although she didn't quite imitate it perfectly, who do you think the head of the hall learned it from?"
Mu Xian was taken aback, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say in rebuttal.
But what should he say? Mu Xian didn't know.
"Now that you've seen that dream, I think you already have the answer in your heart."
"You seem to have changed these past few days."
"But I think neither you nor I want the sect leader to become like you were before."
Zhongli slowly stood up and then walked past Mu Xian.
"If you still don't want to, then just treat it as a play. Plays eventually end, and contracts eventually end too."
"Don't worry." As if having made a decision, Mu Xian also stood up.
"I will take a boat to Inatsuma after the rumors about the Temple of Rebirth have died down."
In Mu Xian's sight, the shattered figure of the girl reappeared before him.
"Whether it's real or fake doesn't matter anymore."
Looking at the gradually forming figure of the girl in front of him, Mu Xian said with a hint of self-deprecation, "I will take good care of the hall master during this time."
Chapter 36 Insignificant Fungi
Most Liyue people hold the deceased in awe.
Thanks to the prevalent belief in ghosts in Liyue, the awe surrounding them outweighs the reverence.
Perhaps that's why people always avoid the topic of funeral parlors.
Even though it's located on a corner of a bustling street, that corner is much quieter because of the Hall of Rebirth.
As Yanfei walked in from the street corner, she immediately saw Miss Yiguan standing at the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth.
Miss Yi Guan was a quiet-looking girl who stood silently at the door, her black clothes giving her an inexplicable air of indifference.
"that..."
Yan Fei walked towards Miss Yi Guan: "Is Hall Master Hu here?"
The motionless maidservant: "..."
"Eh?"
Looking at the statue-like Yi Guan in front of her, Yan Fei leaned closer and asked, "Hello?"
