It wasn't Walnut who opened the door, but the morning attendant.
Yi Guan was clearly surprised to see Mu Xian suddenly appear, but quickly regained her usual calm expression.
Except for one eccentric head of the hall, all the long-time employees of Wangsheng Hall have this expression.
Judging solely from his appearance, Mu Xian does indeed resemble an employee of the Rebirth Hall.
Mu Xian and this lady-in-waiting didn't usually interact much. When they met, they nodded to each other as a form of greeting.
Yi Guan walked out of the room, and Mu Xian also stepped into the room. The two brushed past each other and did not exchange many words.
The room was furnished the same as Mu Xian had seen before. Hu Tao sat at the desk on one side of the room, listlessly lying on it.
Upon seeing Mu Xian, Hu Tao's eyes lit up, but she quickly turned her head away.
The little girl seemed unaware that her reddened earlobes were facing Mu Xian, and that Mu Xian was watching her.
"Tsk, she usually seems so carefree and cheerful..."
Mu Xian suddenly felt a bit disgusted and decided to turn around and leave.
Lost in thought, Mu Xian took a step and walked to the desk, meeting those fiery red eyes.
His eyes are very bright, much brighter than before.
Wait, what am I doing...?
Mu Xian came to his senses and realized that he had walked up to Hu Tao without knowing when.
The little girl's eyes shone brightly, no longer showing the gloom of before.
Mu Xian looked away somewhat uncomfortably and asked, "Master, are you feeling alright?"
The evasive questions made the little girl's eyes crinkle into crescents, her gaze like a clear, cold pool, shimmering with light.
"Little Wood?"
"Brother Mu Xian?"
Even though Mu Xian turned her head away, the girl still leaned closer: "Are you worried about Hu Tao?"
The girl smiled and spoke, her previous shyness gone.
Worry...
"Of course I'm worried."
Mu Xian's answer was the answer Hu Tao had hoped for, yet it also took Hu Tao completely by surprise.
The unexpected answer stunned Hu Tao for a moment, and she suddenly hugged Mu Xian.
"really?"
"Mu Xian didn't lie to Hu Tao, did he?"
He heard Hu Tao's voice and could even feel the hot breath coming from the little girl's mouth.
how to say...
They have absolutely no sense of propriety. Even Mu Xian knows that Li Yue has a saying, "Men and women should not touch each other."
But whatever, once this is resolved, I can probably end the contract and return to the ley lines.
However, once this girl recovers, she'll probably cling to me.
With this girl around, ending the contract might be a bit difficult...
Mu Xian thought to himself, but his heart was unusually calm.
Hu Tao finally let go of Mu Xian, but her two delicate little hands kept gripping Mu Xian's shoulders.
The little girl stared at Mu Xian for a long time before finally revealing a mischievous smile.
"Hu Tao has already seen it, she has seen how much Hu Tao likes Brother Mu Xian."
"However, Hu Tao still likes Brother Mu Xian just the same as before, and that has never changed."
The girl smiled radiantly, and even the dark purple veins extending from her neck couldn't hide her smile.
Perhaps infected by that smile, Mu Xian's mood improved considerably.
"Master, the abyssal filth within you will surely be purified." At worst, we'll just cut down the Divine Cherry Tree and plant it here.
Mu Xian looked at the sunlight outside, then turned his gaze back.
Anyway, that guy who pursues eternity doesn't care about Inazuma. Mu Xian has nothing to do with her anymore, and he won't cover for her anymore.
...
The puppet named General knelt on the ground, and the huge purple arms surrounding it gradually disintegrated.
The five-hundred-year battle was thus decided; the puppet lost.
This is the doll's destined end, and also the final step in the plan.
Only in this way can the shadow see not only eternity, but also the dreams of its subjects.
From now on, there will be no second Eye Hunt Order.
General Thunder gazed at his creator, the god whose dream had regained its power.
"So far, you win."
Standing up again, this was General Thunder's final probing of Shadow: "I thought you couldn't surpass the past, but it seems I was too arbitrary and underestimated your soul."
"An indomitable will can never truly embrace the future."
General Thunder closed his eyes, listening to the answer his own shadow had given him.
“You don’t have to worry about the future, and you don’t have to go it alone.”
"I understand your strength best..."
"..."
"I will no longer set any rules that are absolutely unchangeable."
The doll opened its eyes and looked coldly at the shadow in front of it, but it felt as if some kind of restraint had been released from its heart.
"I understand."
"I will become your shadow, just as you were once a real shadow."
"The duties I will perform will not change."
Leaving the true consciousness space, General Thunder seemed to see a blond-haired person outside the space.
"As for my name... you can call me General Thunder."
"General Thunder? What an awful name. I'll just call you Little Doll instead."
Mu Xian, can you hear me?
It's all over. I've conveyed to Shadow what you expected and what you needed.
But where are you?
...
Chapter 41 You're always so self-righteous
"Ah!"
The sudden sound made Aja look at Mu Xian, who rubbed his nose nonchalantly.
Not far away was the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild of Liyue, where Mu Xian and Aja stayed in a corner for a few days.
The rumors about Wangshengtang did not intensify over time; instead, they were gradually forgotten.
The people behind the scenes seem to have given up on spreading the rumors, as if they had already achieved their goal.
Mu Xian frowned. As time went by, the truth would become increasingly difficult to investigate.
For the past few days, Mu Xian has been keeping watch outside the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, but he hasn't made any progress.
Mu Xian had also made up his mind. If there were no more clues today, he would have to change direction.
As he was thinking, Aja suddenly grabbed Mu Xian's arm.
"found it!"
Aja shook Mu Xian's arm and excitedly pointed into the distance: "That's the guy."
Following the direction Aja was pointing, Mu Xian saw a guy dressed as a fool sneaking out of the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild.
The fools wore masks that covered half their faces, and it was only by virtue of Aja that he was able to recognize them.
Are they really a bunch of fools?
Or perhaps it's someone disguised as a member of the Fools?
Mu Xian remembered that the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce mainly dealt in textiles, so getting a few pieces of clothing from the Fools wasn't too difficult.
"All right."
Mu Xian stared intently at the group of fools not far away, and took a moment to speak to Aja, saying, "I'll go follow him myself, and you can do whatever you need to do after that."
His tone remained blunt, but Aja seemed to have gotten used to Mu Xian's words these past few days. He pursed his lips in displeasure and then turned to leave.
The fools quickly left the Flying Cloud Merchant Guild and wandered through the streets.
Relying on his ten-year-old body, Mu Xian wasn't afraid of being discovered and followed the group of fools until they turned a corner and disappeared into a small alley.
Stopping at the corner, Mu Xian could hear faint conversations coming from inside.
Mu Xian estimated the width of the alley; it wasn't wide, making it perfect for trapping a turtle in a jar.
Thinking of this, Mu Xian first peeked out from outside the alley and watched the two people talking inside.
One of them was a member of the Fools from before. He turned his back to Mu Xian, preventing Mu Xian from seeing his face and also blocking the other person with his body.
However, Mu Xian still didn't plan to go in at this time and intended to wait a while longer.
Just then, the Fools suddenly turned around, and when their faces appeared in front of Mu Xian, Mu Xian abandoned his previous thoughts.
The fire element transformed from the Evil Eye became active around Mu Xian, and Mu Xian immediately rushed towards the Fools.
