Wang Jiaoyang and his family were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
After a long while, he pointed at Gou Batian and stammered.
"You, you mean this dog is trying to find my grandfather's ashes?"
"No, did the dog say that itself, or is this an excuse you made up for it? That's too far-fetched..."
Wang Jiaoyang felt that he could no longer understand not only the seemingly intelligent dog, but also its owner.
Before Lin Xi could even reply to Wang Jiaoyang's words, Gou Batian became displeased, turned around, and started barking at Wang Jiaoyang, barking and snarling as he did so.
It's as if it's accusing Wang Jiaoyang of daring to doubt it!
Lin Xi glanced down at Gou Batian, her brows furrowing slightly.
"He's just an ordinary person, it's normal that he doesn't understand the situation, there's no need to get angry about it."
Wang Jiaoyang: "…………".
I'm still here, is it really okay for you to say that to my face?
And what does "ordinary person" mean? Does that mean Lin Xi isn't an ordinary person?
It's no wonder Wang Jiaoyang didn't recognize Lin Xi. For the past two years, he had been staying in his hometown with his parents. In addition, the masters they had previously encountered were all middle-aged or elderly people. So even though they could tell that Lin Xi was the owner of this feng shui shop, they only thought that she had inherited the shop from her family.
After calming down Gou Batian, Lin Xi turned his gaze to Wang Jiaoyang and said.
"If you want to confirm whether what I'm saying is true or false, it's very simple. Take me back to your grandfather, and he will explain the situation to you."
Looking for him? His grandfather?!
Wang Jiaoyang had lost count of how many times he had been stunned into silence today.
His grandfather has been dead for several years, where can we find him?
However, Wang Jiaoyang's parents, thinking about what Gou Batian had been doing from last night to today, felt even more strongly that Gou Batian was no ordinary dog.
They had never seen a dog so intelligent and perceptive.
Perhaps this seemingly young girl is truly a master?
Moreover, Lin Xi has already provided a solution, so whether it's true or not, they can only try it as she suggested.
The couple tugged at their son Wang Jiaoyang's hand, signaling him not to refuse yet.
Seeing this, Wang Jiaoyang had no choice but to do as Lin Xi said for the time being.
"Okay, then you'll come back with us now?"
Lin Xi nodded.
Although it's still early, it concerns Gou Batian's innocence. Every second of delay means Gou Batian will have to bear another second of unfounded accusations.
Therefore, it's best to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
However, while Lin Xi and Wang Jiaoyang had reached an agreement, someone on the other side was not happy.
A hurried voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"Brother Jiaoyang, do you really believe what she said? She said she's going to see Great-Grandpa, but Great-Grandpa has been dead for so many years, is she going to see a ghost?!"
"This girl is definitely trying to stall for time and then do something behind my back. Don't fall for her tricks!"
As luck would have it, the person who spoke was the same person Lin Xi had just seen with those shifty eyes.
Lin Xi followed the gaze and immediately revealed a subtle expression.
If she hadn't realized what was going on in that person's eyes just now, after listening to Wang Jiaoyang recount what had happened, she already guessed what he was feeling guilty about.
However, this time, before she could speak, Gou Batian let out a howl and roared at the man.
It not only howled fiercely at the man, but the dog also pounced on him like an arrow released from a bow.
In an instant, the man's panicked cries rang out.
"Help! This dog is crazy! It's going to bite me! Help me!"
The others around them were also quite frightened by what they saw.
The main thing is that ever since they saw Gou Batian in the middle of the night, Gou Batian has been quite calm except for barking fiercely at the door when he returned to the feng shui shop.
No one expected it to suddenly attack and hurt people!
"Don't bite! Dog owner, dog owner, come and stop it!"
The scene was chaotic for a moment. The others shouted loudly, but no one dared to step forward, for fear that they would also be bitten by Gou Batian.
In fact, Lin Xi knew when Gou Batian rushed out that it didn't intend to hurt anyone; it probably just wanted to scare the person.
That's why she didn't stop Gou Batian immediately.
Now that someone had reminded her, she could only yell at Dog Batian to stop.
After Lin Xi called Gou Batian back, the others realized that the man who had been tackled by Gou Batian was unharmed.
Dog Batian didn't actually lay a hand on him; he just scared him.
However, it wasn't entirely without effect on the man. Judging from the strange watermarks that gradually spread beneath his feet, his fragile heart must have suffered quite a shock...
Lin Xi looked down at the man on the ground and said meaningfully.
"What, are you so afraid that I'll go see Grandpa Wang Jiaoyang? Why are you in such a hurry to stop me?"
The man on the ground was still filled with the fear of being pounced on by Gou Batian. Before he could recover from the fear, he heard Lin Xi say this, and his heart skipped a beat. He almost fainted again from fright.
Could she know something?!
No, that's impossible!
He did it all by himself, and nobody knew. He was also very certain that no one else saw it except him.
So she's definitely trying to trick me on purpose, I can't fall for it!
The man could only force himself to look at Lin Xi with a resentful expression.
"Nonsense! I just couldn't stand seeing Brother Jiaoyang get scammed! And he even brought up a deceased elder. You brat, didn't anyone teach you to respect the elderly and care for the young, and to respect the dead!"
They're still pretty stubborn.
But no matter how stubborn they are now, it will be much more satisfying to be proven wrong when the truth is revealed.
Lin Xi ignored him and urged Wang Jiaoyang to take her to his grandfather's grave.
Wang Jiaoyang glanced at Lin Xi, then at his cousin who was paralyzed on the ground from frightened by the dog, and felt that something was not quite right.
Why did he feel that Lin Xi and her dog were particularly hostile towards his cousin Wang Lin?
Could it be that they had a past conflict?
After thinking for a while and still having no clue, Wang Jiaoyang could only ask the relatives next to him to take care of Wang Lin first, while he and his parents took Lin Xi back to their hometown.
He figured Wang Lin must have been badly frightened by the dog and needed a good rest.
Unexpectedly, when Wang Lin heard that they were leaving now, he jumped up again and said that he wanted to go back with them to prevent Wang Jiaoyang and the others from being deceived!
Wang Jiaoyang tried to persuade him a couple of times, but seeing that Wang Lin was determined, he could only urge the rest of the group to return to the village together.
