The man ignored the sword on his neck and struggled to hold the girl into his arms for comfort. His expression was a little dazed, like a machine repeating its instincts.
His neck touched Mu Yao's sword, and the black ghost energy immediately leaked out. Mu Yao dodged away in shock: "Are you crazy!"
The little girl was sobbing in his arms. The man was wearing black clothes. Because he had been dead for so long, his clothes were so worn that his original appearance could not be seen.
"I'm... taking the liberty." The man sat on the ground and stroked the back of his daughter's head, looking at the two of them with empty eyes: "I've seen you before."
Mu Yao thought for a moment and said, "In Whistle City, the two shadows on the tower are you."
But the man shook his head: "I also saw you two in the ancient tomb."
Chen Wuchuan and Dongfang Mu Yao looked at each other. The two ghosts in front of them obviously ran away from Tianqi Mountain!
That has everything to do with them. After all, they were the ones who broke the seal on Tianqi Mountain.
But what are they doing lurking here?
Shen Wuchuan asked: "What do you want to do hiding in my senior sister's room? Have you been following us?"
"I don't know." The man frowned: "After leaving the mountain, I just wanted to go to the city and have a look, so I relied on my memory to get here... But I didn't remember anything, and I couldn't think of anything. I wanted to go back...and I saw you again."
"So you have been following me because you want to follow me back to Zhongzhou?" Mu Yao looked at him suspiciously: "Do you know who I am? No one from Yuyin Villa will be spared."
The man frowned, wondering: "You can't kill me, she still needs my care."
The girl's crying subsided and gradually calmed down. The man gently stroked her back to comfort her. The two of them looked like a warm father and daughter.
Dongfang Mu Yao frowned: "I think you have been gone for a long time, why don't you even know where you are going?"
If a person has just died, it is understandable to forget his life, but the two of them have been dead for at least many years, how could they not even form the most basic memory?
The man shook his head: "I don't know. I have been with her in the tomb all the time. If she couldn't get out, I wouldn't go out either. Later you opened the tomb and I took her out."
Mu Yao wanted to ask if they died in the tomb, but then he felt that such questions were useless, why should he ask him such a thing.
She pursed her lips: "I don't know what your purpose is, and I can't trust you. You can leave on your own."
"But I want to go back again." He frowned and bargained with Mu Yao: "Take me back, maybe I can think of something else there."
Shen Wuchuan glanced at them a few times, and finally fixed his gaze on the little girl, with a strange and unpredictable look: "Senior sister, this little girl has quite a ghostly aura."
Mu Yao glanced at it for a few times, but didn't see anything wrong. After all, she was a mortal with naked eyes and couldn't compare to Shen Wuchuan's talent.
"What do you want to do?" She asked Shen Wuchuan for his opinion.
"Sister, if you are not afraid of criticism from others, you can control these two ghosts. This way you can limit their behavior and take them back. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" He said with a smile.
But Mu Yao still wanted to live for two more years: "Forget it, Yuyin Villa has many guests, so there is no need to drive two ghosts of unknown origin."
The man didn't understand what they meant, so he asked tentatively: "Are you going to take me back? I'm only familiar with you among these people..." After saying that, he looked at Dongfang Muyao: "Especially you, but also
There is a little girl. If you can take me back, I won't cause trouble. I just want to retrieve my previous memories. I... don't know who I am now."
The little girl had tears on her face and looked at them hesitantly, her big grape-like eyes flickering.
Mu Yao frowned. He really didn't want to get into this mess. If he took these two people to Zhongzhou and hurt their lives, it would still be his fault.
"I really can't take you back, and please don't follow me anymore." She said firmly.
After hearing this, the man had a disappointed expression on his face. He looked at the child in his arms hesitantly, thought for a while and then said: "I am willing to give you a trace of my soul for safekeeping, so that you can control me no matter where I am,
Don’t worry about me harming anyone.”
"Do you really want to go to Zhongzhou that much?" Mu Yao looked solemnly.
"I have been wandering around the city for a long time, but I can't think of anything. If I continue like this, it will be a waste of time. I want to retrieve the memories of the two of us." The man murmured: "I have been waiting in the ancient tomb.
For too long, even I myself didn’t know why I was born or why I died. It wasn’t until the tomb was broken open by you that I had the idea of going out."
Mu Yao had mixed feelings, looking at the father and daughter who couldn't make up their minds for a while.
After all, they were the ones who opened the ancient tomb. If anything happened to these two ghosts, they would be blamed if they were allowed to do so. If there was a way to control them, they would not dare to cause trouble under their own hands. They would find someone else to do it someday.
Forget it, let them go back to the ghost world.
She thought for a while, then pursed her lips and nodded: "Okay, but you have to stay on the ship and not be discovered by others again."
The man's eyes lit up and he nodded: "Okay."
Mu Yao pointed them to a warehouse that no one usually went to, and asked them to stay there for a few days. When she came back, she rubbed her eyebrows and said, "I really don't want to care about this kind of thing, but I think it will be done."
They leave behind regrets.”
"No matter what senior sister's choice is, I will support you." He tilted his head and smiled: "Since he is willing to listen to senior sister's orders, maybe he can be used by you in the future."
"It's not of use for the time being, and they are the same. They dare to hand over their souls to a stranger like me." Mu Yao shook his head: "If I meet a bad person, I don't know how much suffering I will suffer."
"So they are lucky to have met a kind-hearted senior sister." Chen Wuchuan said brightly, "I didn't expect that the reason why senior sister helped them was because she didn't want to leave any regrets."
Mu Yao leaned on the railing and looked at the junction of the sea and the blue sky: "I was just thinking, if I didn't help them, the next time they meet someone who returns to Zhongzhou, they will have to wait for who knows how many years. This time, the world has changed.
, and how many things will be missed, so I don’t want to leave any regrets for him.”
After a pause, she added: "Actually, he should have come to see me a few times. Seeing as he has never hurt me, I think he is probably not an evil spirit."
I don’t know who he is looking for when he goes to Zhongzhou this time.
In the early morning of the next day, their giant ship finally docked. After hearing the news, the elders of Feixian Valley waited on the shore early. Mu Yao glanced at the crowd, and sure enough, there was no sign of Su Qionghua.
