The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

Chapter 272: Is It Trustworthy?

In the pitch-black prison, Li Muyang exited the game and stood up.

He walked slowly in his cell, listening intently to the noises outside.

The prison door couldn’t possibly stop him.

If he wished, he could charge out at any time.

If Yan Xiaoru were to make a move, little Brother Cheng, disguised as a prison guard, would send a message.

While waiting, Li Muyang pondered the situation described by Shen Miao.

From the narration of the infant spirit girl, it seemed almost inevitable that Shen Yan would be attacked.

After Ruan Mei, the helmsman of the Enforcement Hall, suffered an attack, Shen Yan’s methods suddenly became harsh and vigorous.

She traced the clues calmly and fiercely, pinpointed the evidence, and eventually identified all the Blood Lotus cultists involved in Ruan Mei’s assault, obtaining irrefutable evidence of their deeds.

There were nine banner leaders involved, implicating four sub-helms and three incense halls, which accounted for all the opposition forces against Fang Yingtian.

Over half of the high-level members from the Blood Lotus Sect’s four incense halls and seven sub-helms did not observe the rules laid down by Fang Yingtian.

Having obtained irrefutable evidence against these people, Shen Yan sought out Fang Yingtian.

But at this point, those people directly acted and attacked Shen Yan.

Li Muyang guessed that attacking Shen Yan was just the beginning for this group.

Previously both sides had been restrained, but now, with a desperate attack on Shen Yan tearing their faćade apart, Fang Yingtian should finally be unable to hold back and take action, right?

However, Li Muyang waited in the prison for a long time but did not hear any signs of an uprising outside.

Confused, he returned to the game, wanting to see the situation on Fang Yingtian’s side from Shen Miao’s perspective.

But upon entering the game, Li Muyang saw a peculiar scene.

— Shen Miao, dressed in a plain white vestment robe, was happily cuddling Shen Yan’s dazed and bewildered soul, nuzzling against her coquettishly.

"Ah! Sister! I’ve finally seen you, sister!"

The infant spirit girl, who had been trapped inside the square cauldron and had never set foot in the mortal world, was now joyfully embracing her sister Shen Yan’s soul.

And Shen Yan’s soul stood cluelessly in the foggy ghost city, allowing the infant spirit girl to fuss over her.

Seeing this, Li Muyang immediately understood the situation.

"It seems that they won’t be fighting after all..."

Shen Yan had no cultivation; she was different from Ruan Mei.

If she suffered an attack, she could be killed and resurrected.

After all, the cost of resurrection was very low for Shen Yan as a mortal.

"...Do you believe that this Uncle Fang is really trustworthy?"

Up to now, Shen Yan had been loyally serving Fang Yingtian, handling sect affairs.

But both she and Ruan Mei had been attacked in succession, and Fang Yingtian still acted as if he didn’t care, not even seeking accountability from the attackers... That was obviously problematic!

The young girl clad in the white vestment robe blinked and said, "Uncle Fang? What did he do?"

The girl was intelligent, but still far from her sister’s level.

After all, being isolated from the world, it was normal for her to be a bit naïve and innocent.

Li Muyang shook his head, no longer speaking.

But that afternoon, a visitor arrived outside his prison cell.

Shen Yan, who hadn’t been to the prison for several days, headed straight to Li Muyang’s cell after her resurrection.

On the dark corridor of the prison illuminated by dim oil lanterns, the girl wrapped in a thick cloak seemed even paler than before.

Death, as well as the chaotic situation in the city, had visibly worn down the mortal girl.

She still came alone, to visit Li Muyang by herself.

But this time, the first thing Shen Yan said after they met surprised Li Muyang.

"...Muyang," Shen Yan said softly, holding an oil lamp, "If you have someone very close to you who wants to use you, or even harm you... what would you do?"

Shen Yan’s question made Li Muyang’s heart skip a beat.

His instincts as an undercover agent made him subconsciously think he was discovered.

But after brief contemplation, Li Muyang guessed that she was not referring to him.

Li Muyang believed he had not shown any flaws.

He squinted and thought for a moment before asking, "Who are you referring to, Miss?"

At this time, who Shen Yan was referring to should be quite clear.

This woman of exceptional intelligence was certainly not her naive, sweet, and simple sister.

If someone was scheming against her, she would surely have noticed.

But faced with Li Muyang’s question, Shen Yan holding the oil lamp had half her face shrouded in darkness.

After a few seconds of silence, she shook her head and smiled, saying, "Maybe I got it wrong..."

"Anyway, are you okay? I’ve been busy lately and haven’t seen you for a long time."

"This time I’ve come to get you out of prison."

Shen Yan quietly looked at Li Muyang, smiling as she said, "The Sect Hierarch has finally agreed to pardon you."
