A-Jiang glanced at the sky; it was already past noon. What were they doing up the mountain at this time? She found it a bit strange and glanced at Shi Zhixue a few more times, but didn't say anything. After a brief greeting, the four of them passed each other.

A-Jiang took a couple of steps, then looked back. The two men had quickened their pace and disappeared into the forest in no time.

"Ji Yi, don't you think Shi Zhixue is a bit strange?"

Ji Yi's attention was focused on the little golden eagle, and he casually asked, "What's strange about it?"

"Don't you find it strange that her hair and eyes are both dark purple?"

"So what? I heard that Master Shi found Shi in a country far from Great Xia during his travels. It's normal that he looks different from us. I've also heard that some people in the Kingdom of Fei Yi have green eyes."

"That's a half-demon, isn't it..."

Ajahn knew very little about this world, but she had heard of the Kingdom of Fei Yi, a country with a large number of half-demons.

Ji Yi did not answer, and A Jiang stopped dwelling on the matter.

When they returned to the Taoist temple, they caught the tail end of lunchtime. Ji Yi fed the little golden eagle rice and meat, but to his surprise, it turned its head away and didn't even glance at it.

What should we do if it doesn't eat these?

Ajahn frowned. It was understandable that it wouldn't eat rice, but why wouldn't it eat meat either? Did it intend to eat raw meat?

Her gaze inadvertently swept over Ji Yi, only to notice a slight change in his expression, as if he had conjured up something unpleasant. Seeing this, A Jiang quickly suppressed her playful mood.

"Let's go to the library this afternoon and see if we can find out how to take care of it," she suggested. "There should be relevant books there, and maybe we can find out how to take care of it."

Ji Yi nodded in agreement. So, after the two quickly finished their meal, they went straight to the library.
