"Who did you make a deal with?" Amidst everyone's questions, Li Muge finally spoke.

Master Chen replied with a smile, "It doesn't matter anymore. He promised me that if I could give him my heart, he would grant me one wish."

"My wish is for this entire village to perish in flames. Miss Wang, you don't need to seek revenge."

Master Chen straightened up, bowed to Wang Geyun one last time, closed his eyes, and collapsed under the locust tree.

After Master Chen died, the entire village was engulfed in flames, as the villagers feared that a vengeful ghost would come and seek revenge.

He nailed the door bolts and windows shut again and again, never imagining that when the fire broke out, he would be sealing the windows himself and cutting off his own escape route.

Wang Geyun finally felt relieved: "Little brother, you must take good care of Mother from now on, okay?"

"Sister, I know. You must take good care of yourself. Don't worry too much about us down there. Mother and I will live well."

The fire spread through the village's houses, one after another, as if trying to burn away all the evil.

The evil spirits in the village also dissipated, which was a kind of relief for them.

Li Muge was preoccupied with thoughts, not about the deaths of the villagers, but about the death of Master Chen. Who exactly did Master Chen make a deal with?

And why did that person want his heart?

For some reason, Li Muge felt increasingly uneasy.

It was as if she had forgotten something.

Mo Yan brought the brewed medicine to Li Muge. Seeing that she looked worried, he gently comforted her, "Sect Leader, let's talk about it after you drink the medicine."

"Okay." Li Muge readily agreed, but as Mo Yan handed him the medicine bowl, she placed her index finger on his pulse.

Mo Yan's pulse was weak.

It was clearly a backlash.

"What happened, Mo Yan? How did you get injured out of nowhere?" Li Muge asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing. I just used a search technique to find Wang Geyun's relatives and suffered some backlash."

Mo Yan did not tell the whole truth.

In order to find Wang Geyun's family as quickly as possible in the vast sea of ​​people, he did not hesitate to use forbidden techniques, damaging his heart meridian.

"How could you be so foolish?" Li Muge leaned against the wall. "I'm sorry, I should have taken good care of you. I didn't expect that I would cause you to get hurt because of me."

Li Muge's polite tone made Mo Yan's smile gradually disappear. Why should he take care of him?

Mo Yan thought of the memorial tablet belonging to Regent Yun Qi placed in the hall. Unconsciously, this tablet had become a thorn in his heart.

Li Muge talks a good game, saying she wants to take care of him, but she's just using him as a substitute. It's outrageous!

Li Muge sensed that the atmosphere in the room was starting to get strange. She reflected on herself, wondering if she hadn't been sincere enough in her self-examination.

It seems I need to act more like an elder.

"Mo Yan, you need to return to the Crimson Moon Sect as soon as possible due to your injuries..."

"Go back to the Crimson Moon Sect? It seems the Sect Master has forgotten that I am a member of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect." Mo Yan said with a stern face, taking the bowl away.

Li Muge was completely confused. What had she said wrong? How did she manage to provoke this guy into getting angry? It was all so inexplicable.

They rested at the inn for only one day before immediately preparing to return to the Crimson Moon Sect.

Before leaving, Li Muge gave Wang Geyun's younger brother a pill that could strengthen his body, as a small token of her appreciation.

This family's fate was truly tragic.

Mo Yan refused to walk alongside her.

Sometimes when Li Muge turned around, Mo Yan would ask irritably, "Sect Master, who are you looking at?"

Li Muge was furious: "Please, Mo Yan, I'm blind, how could I possibly see you?"

Mo Yan gave a forced smile: "You can feel it."

Li Muge: "..."

What did she do to deserve this?

"Hey, Mo Yan, what do you mean? What have I done to you? If it weren't for Yun Qi, I would have already..."

"What do you mean, 'long ago'...you killed me long ago, didn't you?" Mo Yan strode up to Li Muge: "In the sect leader's heart, I'm afraid I'm not even one percent as important as Regent Yun Qi, am I?"

“Hey Mo Yan, you don’t need to be so insecure. You’re definitely 30% better than Yun Qi.”

After all, he is Yun Qi's son.

However, Li Muge did not say these words aloud.

"Fine, Li Muge, hello, very good, you're quite something." Mo Yan was so angry that he stopped calling her sect leader and started calling her by her given name.

Even though Mo Yan and Li Muge were in a cold war, of course, it was purely a one-sided cold war by Mo Yan; Li Muge was still eating and drinking as usual.

That's just how she is; she would never tolerate someone's unreasonable behavior.

After dropping Li Muge off, Mo Yan packed his bags and left.

Little Peony had already run back to the Crimson Moon Sect.

Li Muge's return was just in time. If it had been any later, Zuo Xia would have summoned all the branch sects to storm Zhuxian City and force them to hand over their sect leader.

"Sect Master, you're finally back! Your subordinate was so worried about you. And that flower demon who dared to steal your man, I've tied her up for you too."

Zuo Xia rushed to the main hall of the Crimson Moon Sect.

"Mu Ge, come save me! This fierce woman said she's going to pull me up and use me as fertilizer!" Little Peony complained pitifully after confirming that the Mu Ge in front of her was the real Mu Ge.

"Untie Xiao Shaoyao, it's all a misunderstanding." Li Muge felt a headache coming on. Xiao Shaoyao, Zuo Xia.

They all have this loud and boisterous personality; when they get into trouble, they can really cause themselves a lot of problems.

"What misunderstanding could there be? Sect Master, look at your green hat, it's practically glowing. Sect Master, I know you're soft-hearted."
