Upon hearing this, the old Daoist turned and looked at the old Cyan Ox on the shore.
Then he turned his head and nodded to Su Mu, saying, "Yes."
...
"Since it's your spirit pet, you should take it back. I won't interfere."
Su Mu said to the old Daoist.
In fact, the old Cyan Ox has helped Su Mu a lot over the years, especially in taking care of Nannan. Every time Nannan went out, the old Cyan Ox would quietly follow and protect her.
So, deep down, Su Mu actually quite likes this old ox that is loyally devoted to him. However... Su Mu, although he would rob others of their treasures, he would not snatch others' spirit pets because that is a life, a life that can accompany and support.
Upon hearing this, the old Daoist shook his head and said, "It is Jiang Yuan's spirit pet, not mine. I am now called Jiang Qing."
"Aren't you the same person?" Su Mu asked.
"It's different." The old Daoist paused and continued, "Let it follow you. This is its destiny."
