Qiao Shize paused, looked behind him, but saw nothing.
He felt something was off and continued walking forward. Then he sensed something secretly following him from behind.
He suddenly started running, with the people behind him following. Then Qiao Shize turned around and saw several men in plain clothes rushing towards him.
For some reason, Qiao Shize thought of the men he had met at the temple last time.
Who exactly wants to kill him?
Qiao Shize had no martial arts skills; all he could do was keep dodging and running away until the men became impatient and pulled out knives from their pockets to attack him.
Just as the knife was about to strike Qiao Shize, a figure in a red dress suddenly appeared.
Chi Qiangwei kicked the man who had killed Qiao Shize to the ground. The other men ran away as soon as they saw Chi Qiangwei appear.
However, this time Chi Qiangwei did not let them escape. A thin flower branch quickly flew out and picked up a lone man.
The man was thrown into the air, his neck was tightly strangled, and he was terrified by the sight.
"Monster...monster..."
Chi Qiangwei said coldly, "Who sent you to kill Qiao Shize?"
The man was terrified, but he still gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Upon seeing this, Chi Qiangwei closed her eyes briefly. When she opened them again, her eyes turned red as she stared directly at the man.
Under the gaze of those red eyes, the man gradually began to unconsciously utter, "It's... Han Xiangxiang, the eldest daughter of the Han family..."
Chi Qiangwei was taken aback. It was her?
Why did she kill Qiao Shize?
The man replied, "I...I don't know."
“You don’t remember anything about tonight,” Chi Qiangwei said, looking into the man’s eyes.
The man unconsciously repeated after her, "I don't remember anything about tonight."
After saying that, Chi Qiangwei pulled the branches off him and flung him away. The man was crippled but did not die.
Chi Qiangwei turned to look at Qiao Shize, "Are you alright?"
Qiao Shize shook his head. "It's nothing. How about you?"
Chi Qiangwei: "It's nothing."
Then Qiao Shize looked at her sleeve and asked, "Did that long branch just fly out of your sleeve?"
Qiao Shize was curious and stared at her, completely unaware of Chi Qiangwei's unnatural expression.
She hid her hands behind her back and said, "Are you scared?"
Qiao Shize shook his head, "I'm not afraid." He had seen many miraculous events, so one more wouldn't make a difference.
He said, "So there really are gods in this world."
Chi Qiangwei said, "You overestimate me. I am a demon, not a deity."
Qiao Shize scratched his head. "So beautiful, are you a demon? What kind of demon are you?"
“Plants,” Chi Qiangwei said.
Qiao Shize: "Then you must be a flower fairy."
Chi Qiangwei nodded, "Mm."
Then he said, "Let me take you home."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Shize quickly waved his hand, "No need."
Chi Qiangwei said, "If those assassins come again, I might not be able to save you in time."
Qiao Shize paused, then silently agreed.
On the way, Qiao Shize suddenly remembered something and asked, "Are you friends with that Master Baixi?"
Chi Qiangwei: "I guess so."
Qiao Shize, drawing inferences from this, said with admiration in his eyes, "She's so good at fortune telling, so her abilities must be just as good as yours."
Chi Qiangwei: "She's much better than me."
On the path of spiritual practice, Master Baixi was almost without desires or wants. She was neither overly compassionate nor overly indifferent to the world. She only helped those who were capable of being helped, and she almost never cared about those who were not destined to be with her.
Those who cultivate themselves know best that they should not arbitrarily interfere in the karma of others.
Compared to the path of spiritual cultivation, she is far inferior; she is still trapped in the word "emotion" and cannot escape it.
Thinking of Xu An made her heart ache.
When Qiao Shize saw that her expression suddenly turned dejected, he fell silent.
Until they arrived at a small house.
Qiao Shize stopped in his tracks. "I've arrived. Thank you for bringing me back."
He felt a little guilty, as he, a grown man, had been brought back by a woman.
"Thank you for saving me again."
Chi Qiangwei: "It was just a small favor."
As she was about to leave, Qiao Shize called out to her, "Would you like to come in and sit for a while? I have a lot of flowers and plants in my yard, you might like them."
Chi Qiangwei is a flower fairy, so she should have a natural fondness and affinity for plants.
Chi Qiangwei stopped in her tracks. "Okay."
Qiao Shize owns a small house.
There is also a small courtyard outside, which is full of flowers and plants, especially roses. From a distance, the roses are bright and eye-catching, and their red color is almost blood-red.
He took very good care of these roses.
Chi Qiangwei was stunned when she saw these roses.
"Did you grow all these roses yourself?"
Qiao Shize nodded, "Yes, that's right. I've loved growing flowers and plants since I was little. My parents said that the flowers and plants in the neighborhood all bloomed the year I was born."
Chi Qiangwei's eyes showed surprise. "When were you born?"
"Twenty-five years ago, on May 20th."
Upon hearing this, Chi Qiangwei looked surprised.
Twenty-five years ago, on May 20th, was the day she found the aura of Xu An's reincarnation and came to him.
She landed in the yard of one of the houses, and all the flowers and plants bloomed overnight because of her arrival.
Qiao Shize looked surprised after hearing what she said.
"So this is the truth..."
When his mother gave birth to him, she thought he was a girl, a flower fairy reincarnated, because all the flowers and plants were in full bloom. However, his father was greatly disappointed when he found out that he was a boy.
However, it turns out that this is the reason.
The flowers and plants didn't bloom for him at all, but for the pond roses.
Qiao Shize poured her a cup of hot tea.
Chi Qiangwei took the tea from his hand, sat down in the chair, and said, somewhat lost in memories, "Seeing these reminds me of someone who also liked to grow flowers and plants."
Qiao Shize asked curiously, "Who is it?"
He thought of someone, "Could it be your boyfriend?"
Chi Qiangwei was stunned upon hearing this.
She murmured, "...Unfortunately, he changed in the end."
Thinking of something, she stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should go back."
Qiao Shize stood up as well, "Let me see you off."
Chi Qiangwei: "No need."
After saying that, she turned and left.
The following day, another trending topic about Chi Qiangwei appeared on the hot search list.
Her agent was furious when she saw this trending topic, but thankfully, nothing could be discerned from the photos.
In an ordinary restaurant, the two sat facing each other, eating with well-controlled expressions, and there was no hint of romance between them throughout the meal.
Even so, this incident still had some impact on Chi Qiangwei.
