"Who are you?" Hua Xiren asked gently.
Licking her dry lips, she couldn't help but put on a mask again, showing the gentleness that didn't belong to her, just to make everyone think that she was a gentle woman.
No matter which era it was, women would only be doted on if they were gentle, right?
"I am Jing Rushui." Didn't he say it just now? Could it be that he didn't make himself clear enough?
"I'm asking about your identity and why you're here!”Wasn't he talking nonsense with her?
Her ears were very good, so she naturally heard his self-introduction just now. The problem was that what she really wanted to know was who he was and why he had entered this place.
As far as she knew, although there were a large number of people visiting the Jia residence every day, the scope of their activities was limited to the front hall of the Jia residence's front yard. They would never enter the Grand View Garden in the backyard. However, he had entered her flower shop openly. Wasn't it too strange and overboard?
"This one is a magician. Today, I came for the Jia family's Plum Appreciation Banquet, but I accidentally took the wrong path and accidentally entered your garden.”Jing Rushui smiled seductively, her dark eyes glinting.
Yesterday, he had read his horoscope carefully and knew that today was the best opportunity to meet. He entered the Jia residence without delay and easily found the Flower Pavilion just to see the beauty of his life.
" Young Master, you don't have to be so polite. If I remember correctly, the Plum Appreciation Banquet should be in that direction…" Hua Xiren looked at him with a smile and pointed at the road behind him with her slender finger.
To be honest, she did not believe him at all.
The Plum Appreciation Banquet was on the road behind him, and this was the only road that could lead to the Flower Searching Workshop. Yet, he said that he had entered by mistake. Wasn't this a blatant lie?
No matter what his intentions were, she was not in the mood to play with him now. She had too many worries and too many messy things waiting for her to deal with.
"Young Lady seems to have many worries." He said in an almost affirmative tone.
Hua Xiren looked up at him. She was stunned at first, but then she didn't care.
Tsk, what's so strange about that! He said that he was a warlock. Wasn't a warlock a charlatan? It was not a big deal to tell the truth by observing her expression. After all, she could do it. Now that he had guessed her thoughts, it was most likely that she was too anxious and showed her worries on her face, which gave him the opportunity to stay.
She hated men like him to the core.
"Don't people have troubles?" Nonsense.
Not leaving? That's strange. Why didn't he scram? Did he have to force her to take off the perfect mask on her face before he would be happy?
" But Miss…" Jing Rushui smiled faintly, but his eyes were calm and charming. He looked indifferent and intimidating. "What you're worrying about isn't a small matter, but something that no one can help you with.”
He slowly walked towards her, seemingly harmless but carrying a heavy sense of oppression.
Hua Xiren looked at him cautiously, only to see him walk slowly to the door, looking up at the pink and purple coral vines. He stretched out his slender fingers to touch the pink petals, then took off a string of coral vines and turned to look at her.
Sigh, how could the beauty he was destined to be in this life be so threatening?
On top of her beautiful and seductive appearance, she was wearing a fake mask, but under her graceful body, there was a wild and fiery soul that was as bright as a flower…
"Since no one can help me, why does Young Master need to say so much?”If she could, she really didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him. She really hoped that he could get out of her sight as soon as possible. Otherwise, when she really got angry, it would be a little ugly for a woman to hit a man.
Sigh! Weren't all the fortune-tellers on the street like him?
No matter how he asked, it was just a bunch of useless nonsense, or a bunch of bastards who wanted to persecute women.
Please, I'm not interested in that, okay?
She begged him not to talk to her about fate and not to ask her any more meaningless questions. She was not interested in listening to them and would not believe them. Even if everything he said was true, she did not intend to believe it.
In this world, she only believed in herself!
"Who says I can't help you?" Jing Rushui had a smile on her face the entire time. It was gentle and charming with a hint of coldness and scheming.
It was really enough! "I don't need anyone's help, I…"
"The strange lightning from two months ago should still be fresh in your memory, right?”
Jing Rushui's words shocked Hua Xiren so much that she shut her mouth.
What did he say?
Although she was shocked, Hua Xiren still looked at him calmly. The smile on his lips did not stop.
However, how did he know that those lightning bolts were related to her?
No, if he was a first-class divine priest, observing the changes in the weather should not be a problem for him. Perhaps this was his opening speech. And such a shocking lie was the fatalism that many women sought to free their hearts.
Next, he might bring up some topics about his past life and present life-the so-called cause and effect of past life and present life…
If he had found a woman from this era, he believed that with his appearance and sensational words, he would be able to kidnap many good women. Unfortunately, he had to get ready to bow to her after meeting her.
"I don't understand what you mean." Heavens, give her some peace! She was already unlucky enough to be in this era.
"Is that so?" Jing Rushui's smile grew wider as she shook a handful of pale purple coral vines in her hand.
It seemed that his future wife was not easy to seduce. He had to think of other ways.
"It's already past noon, and the Plum Appreciation Banquet is coming to an end. If Young Master doesn't go quickly…"
Before she could finish her sentence, a gust of wind suddenly blew. The strange thing was that the wind was not cold at all. It even carried a trace of warmth that had not been seen for a long time. There was also a faint fragrance.
It was not the strange wind that made her keep quiet, but the scenery in front of her. Jing Rushui held the coral vine in his hand gently, and the wind messed up his hair. The coral vine behind him slowly fell on his body, forming a strange and evil scene, but it was so beautiful that she could not turn her eyes away.
The wind was so strong, so why did the petals of the coral vines behind him fall down at a moderate pace?
What was even more terrifying was that the scenery in front of her did not seem scary. Instead, it felt like it was natural, as if the place he was in should be so peaceful. A strange thought was invading her technological brain, almost causing her to crash.
"I wonder if Young Lady has seen the earthen-yellow porcelain statue of a beauty before the lightning struck?”Jing Rushui was still smiling, so relaxed.
Hearing this, even the atheist Iron Tooth Race couldn't help but have goosebumps all over her body…
"Who exactly are you?" Hua Xiren had to use a lot of effort to keep her voice from trembling.
It was only now that she realized that he had a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He even had the divine power to see through the past and future. It was not her imagination. Standing in front of him, she felt like she was invisible, allowing him to see through her.
Suddenly, a chill ran down her spine and spread from her scalp to the soles of her feet. She almost couldn't stand steadily.
"I'm Jing Rushui, but I'm just a martial arts practitioner, a practitioner who can help people resolve disasters and pray for good fortune.”Jing Rushui's hand reached up, and the wild wind suddenly stopped. Even the petals that were falling with the wind had disappeared without a trace.
Seeing this, she could not hold on no matter how strong she was.
Could it be that her fate was so good that she not only traveled through time and space, but also encountered a supernatural phenomenon that she had never seen in her life?
He was definitely not as simple as a warlock. If this was a trick or magic, his technique was too delicate for her to see through at all.
However, she really could not believe that this was a trick or magic. After all, the art of juggling had officially risen in the Tang Dynasty, but it had already declined in the Ming Dynasty. She did not believe that the ancients could make such a flawless skill. Moreover, it was the early 15th century, so there was no magic.
So…there were two possibilities. One was that she was too tired and had hallucinations, or the other was that…she had encountered a ghost.
But he didn't look like he was doing that. What was going on? Was it because God didn't think she was annoying enough, or was it because good things took time and she was destined to suffer more before she could have a happy ending?
If she could go back to the 21st century, these things would not be scary. As long as she could go back to the place she wanted to go, even if she had to summon a demon or sell her soul, she would not say a second word. She was just afraid that she would not be able to find the demon.
Whether it was a dream or a demon, as long as her wish could be fulfilled, she was willing to do anything!
"Alright, since you can see through my troubles and can help people resolve disasters and blessings, then let me ask you, do you have a way to help me? Do you know what my real problem is?”She gulped and asked in one go. After asking, she felt that she was thinking too much.
He looked like a weak and powerless man. How could he help her? Perhaps it was just a coincidence, or perhaps it was just a problem with the magnetic field that coincidentally made him guess something.
"Help?" Jing Rushui narrowed her eyes and smiled slyly.
How could he help her escape from his side?
However, if he wanted her to believe him, he had to give her some bait. Otherwise, why would she be willing to believe him and even come to his side of her own accord?
"Can you?" Damn it, she felt that she must be suffering from a nervous breakdown. Otherwise, she must have gone crazy from wanting to go back to the 21st century. That was why she stood there and confronted him. She should have turned around and left, but for some reason, she just wanted to give him a chance, or rather, give herself a little hope.
"Can I?" Was she asking him? What a cute woman!
Jing Rushui's charming lips curved into a smile. She suddenly walked toward her and placed her hand on her forehead. She was so stunned that she stood rooted to the ground. She forgot that she should have pushed him away or taken a step back, but she forgot to react.
"Close your eyes."
His deep and magnetic voice was as deep as the surging sea. He ordered in an arrogant tone that charmed her young senses and made her close her eyes.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she found that the 21st century was in front of her eyes. It was so real and vivid that she could not find a trace of falsehood. It was as if she would return to the twenty-first century as soon as she opened her eyes.
"What's going on?"
Unfortunately, when she opened her eyes, she was still in front of the luxurious Flower Pavilion.
"Xiren, this is your problem, isn't it?”Jing Rushui reluctantly retracted her hand and placed the coral vine in her other hand. "If you can trust me, I welcome you to visit my residence. Perhaps you can find a way to relieve your worries.”
" You..." Perhaps she was too shocked, but she looked like an idiot.
However, she could not be blamed for this. After all, all the knowledge and common sense she had learned were useless in this era. Moreover, she had to face strange things that challenged her inner world. How could she not be shocked?
"It's just the beginning of the first month, and the Jia residence is filled with endless banquets. I'll come again tomorrow. If you want to find me, just call my name in your heart, and I'll immediately run to your side.”Mirror Like Water said as she walked, never turning back. A crescent white figure almost blended into the bleak forest scenery.
Hua Xiren didn't call out to him anymore. She was immersed in the intense shock…
Should she believe him?
She didn't know. She thought she needed some time to think through everything that happened today and consider whether she should trust him or not…
Who was he?
The sky turned from boundless to boundless darkness, and then a touch of faint grayish-blue was lifted from the dark night. Faint light was sifted out from the layers of clouds. Hua Xiren, who was half-lying in the warm tent, stared at the red sandalwood tent frame with red eyes. Her mind was filled with water.
However, she did not look like a young girl who had just woken up in love and was infatuated with his handsome face. She just kept thinking about every word he had said.
It wasn't strange that he knew her name, but it was amazing that he knew her background!
She was the only one who knew about the earthen-yellow pottery statue of the beauty she had seen when she was in chaos. She had never mentioned it to anyone. How did he know?
And when his hand was on her forehead, she did have a strange feeling, as if she had returned to the 21st century. It was as if she could see the scenery of the 21st century as soon as she opened her eyes.
It didn't matter if it was a demonic art, a magic trick, a human, or a demon. She was now like a patient whose life was in danger. As long as there was a chance for her to live, she would grit her teeth and try it no matter how painful it was.
After thinking about it, she still felt that she should give it a try.
If he was really a fraud, she could only accept her fate. After all, not every fraud could do such a magical thing.
Since she had already fallen to such a bad state, she did not believe that it could be any worse. At most, she would just live in this era for the rest of her life…
Forever? Heavens, was she really going to stay here forever?
How could she endure the ancient era without computers? How could she not gain anything after playing such a perfect role in front of others?
In order not to let others look down on the mother and daughter, she had tried her best to figure out the role of a gentle woman and buried her wild personality in the deepest depths. In front of others, she was the most perfect woman, with all her good qualities. How could she leave before she received applause?
She still had a lot of things to do. She had not trampled on those people who mocked her and her daughter. How could she let them off so easily?
Hua Xiren suddenly turned over and sat up. Her bloodshot eyes narrowed slightly, and she raised her willow-like eyebrows.
No, she must return to the 21st century. No matter what, she must return!
She stood up straight, her alluring eyes staring straight at the door. It was as if she had made up her mind and walked out of the door unwaveringly.
She walked around the bleak and desolate garden and headed for the front yard of the Jia residence. She avoided the lively and noisy banquet and chose a small path with few people to go out.
Pfft! This Jia residence was really not ordinary rich. The garden was so big, and she walked until her feet were sore, but she still couldn't find the exit.
Damn it, isn't this Jia Residence too big?
She had only walked through this mansion once, so it was a little difficult for her to think of a way out of this mansion.
God, was she really that stupid? She was so stupid that she couldn't even walk out of a garden…If she couldn't even walk out of the Jia residence, where could she go?
Right, she didn't even know where Jing Rushui lived. Where was she going to find her?
With that thought in mind, her feet seemed to have taken root and were tightly attached to the stone path under her feet, unable to take a single step forward...
What should he do now? Damn it, where was she going to find him?
She stared at the arched door in front of the stone path. Her eyes darted to the beautiful red plum blossoms on both sides. Her pink lips could not help but purse tightly, cursing in her heart a million times.
How could she be so stupid?
It was over. In this era, she was like an idiot who couldn't be any weaker. She didn't even know the most basic life. What else could she do?
But to be honest, even if he told her where he lived, she wouldn't know where to find him. She had a bad sense of direction and did not know the names of the streets and alleys in this era. Even if she was given the address, she would still not be able to find it. As soon as she stepped out of the Jia residence, she might starve to death outside.
No way! Just in case, she had to go back to the flower shop and grab a few rare antiques that could be sold for money. She could keep them on her in the future and pawn them. At least she wouldn't starve to death.
After thinking for a while, Hua Xiren decided to go back. Fang Wei lifted her long dress, which was in the way. Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps behind her. She quickly let go and muttered in her heart before putting on the gentle mask.
Sigh! Who was so amazing to walk into this sparsely populated path at this time?
Only God knew how difficult it was for Luo Qun to walk. If she didn't pull herself up a little, she was afraid that if she walked a little faster, she would lose face and fall flat on her face.
Sigh! There were people everywhere in the Jia residence. If she wanted to take more valuable things, it seemed that she had no other choice but to hide them in her skirt.
"Xiren, weren't you looking for me?”
A voice as gentle as the wind suddenly rang out. Hua Xiren turned around immediately, her sparkling eyes almost popping out as if she had seen a ghost.
Why…was he here? How did he know that she was looking for him?
Is he a ghost?#
