Mu Miyan was taken aback.
Mu Anxiao looked at Guan Mian’s firm expression and twitched her lips, "What do you mean by speaking ill of you and me?"
"The entire cultivation sect is speaking ill of you, you should know this, right?"
Cultivation sect again?
For decades, Mu Anxiao’s ears had been filled with talk of the cultivation sect, or the vine spirit. When there was nothing else, it was also the wolf demon and Shen Yan.
But the thing she hated the most was the cultivation sect, and the vine spirit was second.
Therefore, she didn't want to talk to him.
Seeing Mu Anxiao's silent expression, Guan Mian’s lips curved up, "Nothing more to say, it seems you know."
“....” Mu Anxiao tutted and once again focused her gaze on Guan Mian’s face, “All this nonsense you’re spewing, you just want to imply that I instructed her to kill you, right?”
Guan Mian: “I never said that.”
“But to me, that’s what you mean.”
Guan Mian sneered, "I have no enmity with you, why would you want to kill me." As he spoke, his eyes welled up with tears.
The dog-headed demon calmly watched Guan Mian’s aggrieved expression, thinking, "Ugh, this guy is quite the actor."
Xu Lan had the same thought as the dog-headed demon.
The Yin Messenger listened to Guan Mian's choked voice, glanced at the indifferent Mu Anxiao, and then thought of his agreement with Mu Anxiao, he said, "Don't be blind, she met Mu Miyan in prison. Do you think she ordered Mu Miyan to kill you? It's probably not realistic, Guan Mian."
Upon hearing this, Guan Mian’s face stiffened.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the Yin Messenger who spoke for her, then looked at Guan Mian, "Did you hear that?"
Guan Mian frowned, “....”
“Guilty conscience, or embarrassed?”
“....” Guan Mian lowered his head and thought, then quickly looked at Mu Miyan and asked, "Mu Miyan, when did you recognize her as your master?"
"I..." Mu Miyan looked into Guan Mian's eyes, feeling uneasy again.
Mu Anxiao: "Just now." She said, turning to glance at Mu Miyan.
Guan Mian looked back at Mu Anxiao, "You just went out, and you recognized her as your disciple?"
"That's what happened."
"Oh." Guan Mian nodded, "Then I can say that your relationship is invalid."
"What do you mean by that?"
"She is my disciple, and will always be my disciple, unless I break that bond. Anything else..."
"No, have you fallen for her?" Mu Anxiao interrupted suddenly.
Xu Lan was startled.
Xu Lan, at the moment Mu Anxiao asked the question, showed a look of curiosity.
The Yin Messenger was also curious.
The dog-headed demon looked at Guan Mian's profile with great interest, also curious, had he truly fallen for Mu Miyan!
Mu Miyan was startled and quickly said, "Impossible."
Mu Anxiao: "Don't speak yet." She turned to look at Mu Miyan, then smiled back at Guan Mian.
Guan Mian felt uncomfortable under Mu Anxiao's gaze, "She's so messy, I would never have such feelings for her." He averted his gaze.
Mu Anxiao: "Why are you avoiding my gaze?"
"If I asked you such a question, would you dare say you wouldn't be embarrassed?"
"Of course I wouldn't be embarrassed," Mu Anxiao said, a smile playing on her lips, "If you love her, you love her, and you still won't admit it. Are you even a man?"
"Whether I admit it or not, what does that have to do with whether I'm a man?"
"I think it does, so it does. Come on then," Mu Anxiao's expression turned cold, "If you don't love her, why do you keep pestering her? What exactly do you mean?"
"She is my disciple."
"Your disciple, then what have you taught her?"
"I taught her how to be a person."
"A bad person?"
"Can you stop talking nonsense? I've never done anything bad, you..."
"Since that's the case," Mu Anxiao spread her hands, "Give me the booklet."
“....” Guan Mian looked guilty, glanced at Xu Lan, and tore up the booklet, “There’s nothing in here.”
Mu Miyan’s heart sank. She said excitedly, "Those are all the elderly people you deceived. After those elderly people took your medicine, they all died." Saying that, she quickly looked at Xu Lan, "Sir, he has caused many deaths."
As soon as Xu Lan heard this and was about to speak, Mu Anxiao looked at him, "Does what you say now still matter?" She said, looking down at the torn paper on the ground, and sighed.
Guan Mian felt relieved.
Xu Lan: "Guan Mian, didn't you say you were fine? Why did you do this?"
Guan Mian: "Answering sir, they just wanted to harm me. I have never harmed anyone. If I had, you would surely know, but what is the truth? Do you know?"
Hearing Guan Mian’s words, Xu Lan looked at Mu Anxiao and thought for a moment, "I really don't know about this."
"You definitely wouldn't know," Mu Anxiao said, glaring at Guan Mian, and continued, "He used flowery words to confuse the elderly. In other words, it was a willing transaction. Of course, on the surface, he was indeed saving people, and their deaths were normal old-age deaths. But the reality is different."
“....” Xu Lan frowned.
Guan Mian: "Those elderly people voluntarily took my medicine. The medicine I prepared is all legitimate and will not harm anyone. Sir, please do not be brainwashed by her words."
"Explanation is cover-up. You'd better remain silent," Mu Anxiao said without looking at Guan Mian.
Guan Mian: "...." He frowned slightly.
Mu Anxiao glared at Guan Mian and looked at Xu Lan, "Don't think about it. This only useful evidence has been destroyed. Now we can only find new evidence."
"How do you plan to find it?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Just hand her over to me." Mu Anxiao pointed at Mu Miyan.
Guan Mian: "This is unfair."
"There are many unfair things in your eyes. If you feel it's unfair, then let it be unfair." Mu Anxiao glanced at Guan Mian and raised her chin, "Xu Lan, tell me, do you agree or not?"
Xu Lan: "Within three hours."
"That harsh?"
"No help, it's the rules."
"Alright, then can I take her?"
Xu Lan: "No."
Mu Anxiao understood that if she took Mu Miyan with her, it would surely cause public outrage. So, for Mu Miyan's safety, she compromised, "Fine." Saying that, she nudged Guan Mian's arm with her elbow.
Guan Mian stiffened, "What are you doing?"
"Move aside."
"You..."
As soon as Guan Mian uttered a word, Mu Anxiao immediately tilted her head and glared fiercely at his face, “....”
Seeing this, Guan Mian took two steps back.
Then, Mu Anxiao took a deep breath, raised two fingers, pointed at the paper torn to shreds, and silently chanted, "Restore." Immediately, several blue lights enveloped the paper.
Seeing this, Guan Mian felt something was wrong. As he was about to step forward to stop the spell, Mu Anxiao said, "Don't move. If you move, you will be scattered into dust."
Hearing this, Guan Mian was startled and withdrew his hand.
