Can't come back...

Not only Xu Mu was stunned, the girl next to him was even more stunned.

Although she liked Xu Mu, and she really liked him, but in the final analysis, she was still attracted by his identity and the mysterious situation behind him... If he didn't have this identity, would she still need to be with him?

"This is my home. Where else can I go if I leave here?"

Family?

Shan Shan, standing by, just laughed speechlessly, even rolling her eyes mercilessly. "If you were the boss here, you wouldn't have brought outsiders in without prior notice. Do you know what a strange place is? Even if she's just an ordinary mortal, there's no reason to bring her in without prior notice. If you were the boss here, but everything you do is trampling on our faces, is that what it means to be the boss?"

"I've already said that I didn't think this through, and I know I was wrong. That's why Qingniang and I are here begging Master for forgiveness. Shanshan, do you have to be so aggressive? You and I grew up together, but why don't you ever consider my situation?"

"Why should I consider it from your perspective as an ungrateful person?"

Shanshan didn't give Xu Mu any face at all and held Pei Zhiyi's hand tightly. She felt sorry for this silly girl.

"My Ghost Realm has always been exclusive to outsiders. If Zhiyi hadn't begged the Territory Master to take you in, you wouldn't be where you are today. You can say that your life was given by Zhiyi, and your current status and all your achievements were also given by Zhiyi and Master. But what are you doing now? You're an ungrateful person, and I actually thought highly of you before. I was really blind!"

Xu Mu fell silent, and his grip on Qing Niang's hand loosened a little.

Qing Niang was worried that Xu Mu would give up on her, so she quickly grabbed his hand. She looked pitiful with tears in her eyes, and she looked very adorable.

"Forget it, Shanshan. We didn't come here to settle scores with him about what happened in the past."

Pei Zhiyi doesn't like Xu Mu. There is only friendship between them and no love between them.

Even if what happened today hadn't happened, they would have definitely reached the point of breaking off the engagement. Today's incident was just a fuse, and it only accelerated the pace of some things.

"Xu Mu, I won't blame you. I'm even happy for you. Congratulations on finding someone you truly love." Pei Zhiyi smiled, his smile full of sincerity. "It's just that you know that the Strange Realm does exclude outsiders. It took a lot of effort for me to get your father to accept you back then. Now that you've brought another outsider in, I can't guarantee that your father will agree to let you stay here."

"But," but where can he go if he leaves here?

"There aren't that many buts." Pei Zhiyi said firmly, "As a person, you have to give up in order to gain. You know the truth that you can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want this and that, how can you possibly get all the good things?"

"That's it."

He has a bad character, little ability, but a very arrogant mind.

Shanshan now dislikes everything about Xu Mu and wishes she could kick this couple out of this strange place right now, or even better, into a snake's den.

"……I see."

Xu Mu lowered his head. He knew that he was a little too greedy.

"I have failed my master, so it is understandable that he doesn't want to see me. But I am still grateful for his kindness. I hope that after I leave, he will be healthy and safe. I hope that everything will be fine in the strange world."

"I will take your words to heart. Now, take this girl and leave."

Xu Mu stood up with difficulty and helped Qing Niang up as well.

"Thank you for your help."

Xu Mu knew that Pei Zhiyi never liked him, so he let go so quickly this time.

It is certainly true that he is unwilling to accept this, but he now has someone he loves, so it is naturally impossible for him to keep the throbbing he once had in his heart.

"I hope you will be happy in the future."

"Amu..."

Qingniang wanted to say something else, but Xu Mu shook his head at her. She had always been well-behaved, so naturally she didn't say anything more.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Shanshan was still a little unwilling, "Are they getting away with it so easily?"

"What else do you want to do?"

"Of course we have to let them suffer first!" Shanshan gritted her teeth, "It's really a bargain for this pair of bastards!"

"Their future will only become more difficult. Perhaps we don't even need to intervene. Once they emerge from this strange realm, they will themselves develop conflicts."

Pei Zhiyi could see that the girl next to Xu Mu was actually not very willing to accept this, but she had never understood the nature of the people outside, so it was not easy for her to assume any ill intentions.

"That's true. After all, that little human girl isn't as innocent as Xu Mu thinks."

Evil will be punished by evil, so she won't be a bad person.

"Okay Shanshan, you go back first. I'll go see my father."

Shanshan nodded, "Then I'll go back first. If you have anything, just come to my house and find me."

Pei Zhiyi nodded, then turned and walked into the hall.

"Father obviously wants to see him, why is he avoiding him?"

"After raising him for so many years, he turned out to be an ungrateful person. Shanshan is right. If I meet him, he will die."

Pei Zhiyi smiled and walked to his father's side, holding his father's hand and acting like a spoiled child as usual, "Why would I bother with that ungrateful person? Fortunately, I don't like him at all, so I can cut my losses now."

"You really don't like it?"

"I really don't like it!" Pei Zhiyi leaned his head on his father's shoulder, and suddenly remembered the person he had just rescued... It was related to the safety of the strange realm, so he thought he had to tell his father first.

"Father, I just saved someone in a strange place..."

"Who?"

Pei Zhiyi briefly recounted what he had just experienced. "I can't detect his true identity, but he should be a human with some cultivation. However, he's been seriously injured, so he's not in danger for now."

"How badly injured are you?"

Pei Zhiyi would have to think about it carefully. She pondered and then described it again, "That's probably it. His clothes were all stuck to his flesh and blood. I think he was tortured inhumanly. But why he suddenly appeared in this strange place, I'm not sure. I felt sorry for him, so I took him back first."

"Then wait and see what happens."

He thought, perhaps the predicted crisis was really coming.

"I will definitely keep a close eye on him. If he deliberately sustained such a serious injury in order to gain the trust of the people in my Strange Realm, then I will definitely not show him mercy. Of all things, the safety of my father and the Strange Realm is paramount!"
