After a heated argument, they left the temple and went their separate ways. Although they had acted passionately, the outcome was inevitable.
Qi Xiaomian held an innocent, confused, and fearful expression as he moved to a secluded area. His face darkened with annoyance, and the atmosphere in the hall stirred something within him, causing his emotions to spiral out of control. He inadvertently released some of Dayu's Demon Fetus aura.
The attention from the Immortal Statue had indeed attracted trouble from the outside world, which would surely follow. Today's scene was something they couldn't easily brush aside.
Sang Qingxiao suggested, "Should I erase their memories?"
Qi Xiaomian pondered for a moment and decided against it. They had been cautious and probing for so long, yet things remained stagnant. Now that they were in a bit of trouble, it might allow them to leave this murky place sooner.
"Has the Immortal Statue contacted you?"
He nodded. "It seems like a coward hiding in the shadows. I made a small opening for him to slip through, but all he did was send a voice message."
To his surprise, the message complimented his appearance. He could sense that the gaze assessing him came from all directions, likely due to some illusion that obscured their true location.
"Complimenting your looks?" Qi Xiaomian said with frustration. "That Old Woman raised her hand as if she wanted to touch my face! I almost couldn't resist chopping off her hand!"
Sang Qingxiao teased, "Could she be an Enchantress?"
Qi Xiaomian shook his head. "Not quite."
"Why not?"
"Just a feeling."
The notion of 'feeling' was vague and profound. Sang Qingxiao didn't press further and shifted the topic back to Lou Old Woman. "I have a theory: you and Huo Shu don't sense Magic Breath because the issue might lie with her—a shell stripped of five senses that can hide itself while blocking others' prying eyes."
Qi Xiaomian realized, "No wonder."
"That's just my guess."
"Regardless, today's excursion has finally yielded some progress; we need to keep a close watch on her."
Indeed, news of the unusual happenings at the temple spread quickly, faster than anyone anticipated. Just as they were resting at an inn, Sun Rongniang arrived.
She expressed her concern. "I told you to leave long ago, but you wouldn't listen. The favor of this immortal isn't something you can take for granted—especially now when Niu Xianshi is looking for someone to vent his anger on."
"Why don't you leave the city right now? Don't bother packing; just take some large amounts of silver. Even if the city gates close, perhaps money can pave a way out."
Sang Qingxiao refused. "What about you? If any crime is pinned on you for sheltering us, it would be too much for you to bear."
