Chapter 64 The Fiancé
Chosen for Her Chu Beihe frowned slightly.
It was not the first time he saw Jiang Xuxu doing this in front of him. It was
just that she did it relatively obscurely last time.
This time it was open and aboveboard.
His dark eyes were condensed, and he only asked, "What do you have in your hand?"
Jiang Xuxu knew from the sound that he could not see.
But it was normal.
Since she came into contact with the mysterious arts, she had also seen many people in the mysterious sect.
Those people could only see the yin spirits and ghosts at most, but they could not see so many "colors" like her.
But now that the words had been spoken, Jiang Xuxu had no intention of hiding it from him.
With a slight frown on his face, Jiang Xuxu looked at him and said,
"There is a golden light in my hand."
After a pause, he added, "I took it off your body."
Chu Beihe: ...
"There is a lot of golden light on you." Jiang Xuxu said, "So every time I see you, it's a bit dazzling."
Chu Beihe: ...
He vaguely understood why she would blink hard every time she saw him before.
"What is the golden light?"
"Generally speaking, the golden light only appears on people with great merits, but I asked, except for occasionally participating in charity auctions, you have not had any outstanding performance. This golden light is probably the merit you accumulated in your previous life."
Jiang Xuxu said,
"The golden light protects the body and is immune to all evil. You must have been an amazing and kind person in your previous life. You can also understand it as a kind of blessing."
As for why it is said to be probably, it is because Jiang Xuxu can't see through his face at all.
In fact, it was already very straining for Jiang Xuxu to see his face through the golden light.
What Jiang Xuxu didn't see was that when she mentioned the blessing, a barely perceptible sneer flashed in Chu Beihe's eyes.
That sneer was hidden in the golden light and disappeared in an instant.
When he looked at Jiang Xuxu again, his eyes were calm and indifferent again.
"These golden lights are useful to you."
He said it in an affirmative sentence, with obvious determination in his tone.
After all, Chu Beihe is the youngest head of the Chu family in this lineage, and his mind is clearer than that of ordinary people. Based on
his brief contacts with Jiang Xuxu several times before, he didn't think she was the kind of person who liked to enthusiastically answer people's questions.
But she not only said it, but also said it very carefully.
Combined with the fact that she had touched him before, it was obvious that she had some intentions for the golden light on her body.
Jiang Xuxu didn't expect that the other party could easily see her intention before she even opened her mouth, but this did not prevent her from admitting it frankly.
"I am indeed a little interested in you."
Jiang Xuxu said seriously, paused, looked into the deep and dark phoenix eyes, and added,
"I am very interested in your golden light."
She was basically sure that the last time she was able to summon the purple thunder was entirely due to his golden light.
In addition, she had just seen with her own eyes that the golden light on his body dispelled the resentment that even professionals could not eliminate. Obviously, these golden lights have more than just the effect of dispelling evil spirits.
She said it bluntly, but Chu Beihe did not hate such bluntness.
He looked at her self-centeredly, as if waiting for her next words.
However, Jiang Xuxu was slow to speak.
Because just when she was about to speak, her eyes were attracted by an object on the antique shelf behind Chu Beihe.
Chu Beihe couldn't wait for her to say anything, so he frowned and was about to remind her, but he saw Jiang Xuxu standing up suddenly.
But she walked around him and walked directly to the antique shelf behind him.
Chu Beihe's antique shelf was full of collections, but Jiang Xuxu's eyes were fixed on a dead branch covered with a glass cover in the corner of the antique shelf. It
was black.
A thousand-year-old lightning-struck peach wood.
It was the same branch her master had!!
At this moment, Jiang Xuxu was no longer thinking about the golden light. She pointed at the peach branch with her almond eyes burning and serious, and asked him,
"Where did you get this peach wood from?"
Chu Beihe saw her serious expression and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Speaking of the collections in his house,
only the peach branch had a unique origin.
"A friend temporarily placed it here with me."
Chu Beihe's voice was quiet, but it made Jiang Xuxu's eyes tremble. She asked,
"What friend? Male or female, how old? What's her name? Do you have a photo?"
The soul asked four questions in a row.
Obviously, she had forgotten that she and he were just acquaintances.
Chu Beihe didn't feel that she was offending him. He was silent for a moment and said,
"It's a woman, about my age. She didn't say her name."
Chu Beihe said, "She left the things here temporarily and said someone would come to take them away for her." What
he didn't say was that when the person gave him the things, he chose a place on the antique shelf very familiarly.
There was an ancient dagger in the place covered by the glass cover.
The person took his dagger away, and then put the peach branch that looked like a broken wood on it.
As a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Chu Beihe certainly couldn't stand the appearance of such a thing in his study, and it also occupied the place on his antique shelf.
But...
he couldn't take it down.
It was still the same glass cover, but no matter how he fiddled with it, the cover didn't budge.
Later, he could only let the branch stay on it, and slowly got used to it.
Chu Beihe wanted to tell Jiang Xuxu that the thing couldn't be taken down.
But before he could open his mouth, Jiang Xuxu had already stretched out her hand.
Chu Beihe saw that the glass cover, which did not move no matter how he moved it, was actually taken away gently in Jiang Xuxu's hand.
Then, she took down the peach branch and held it in her palm lightly and decisively.
Chu Beihe: ...
Seeing this scene, Chu Beihe didn't understand at all.
That person said that someone would come to take it away for her, and that person was undoubtedly Jiang Xuxu in front of him.
But how could the other party know that Jiang Xuxu would see this thing in his study.
"What is that?" Chu Beihe actually knew what it was, he had checked it on the Internet.
Peach wood struck by lightning.
Although it is rare, it has no collection value.
But the Xuanmen people seem to like this thing very much?
But Jiang Xuxu said,
"This is my master's thousand-year-old lightning wood."
She was carrying this when she disappeared.
It was also something she said she would leave for her.
When Jiang Xuxu looked at Chu Beihe again, her eyes were full of doubts and scrutiny.
What is the relationship between the master and Chu Beihe?
Why did he give this lightning wood to him for safekeeping?
And why did he ask her to take it?
Can the master also see the golden light on Chu Beihe's body?
Could her disappearance be related to Chu Beihe? ?
Jiang Xuxu's mind was full of thoughts. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. Her eyes were a little subtle. She asked him,
"In addition to this lightning-struck wood, did she leave you anything else?"
Chu Beihe shook his head. "No."
Jiang Xuxu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he continued,
"But she drew something on my palm before she left, and I haven't been able to wash it off yet."
As a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, this thing has tortured him for a long time.
Jiang Xuxu's eyebrows jumped, and she walked forward quickly. Without caring about much, she directly pulled his right palm to take a look.
I saw a red peach wood mark in the man's broad palm.
Jiang Xuxu's mouth twitched.
Silently clenched her left palm, because in her palm, there was a peach wood mark exactly the same as the boss's.
The master said that if she sees someone with the same mark planted on her palm in the future,
she should not doubt that person, because that person is the fiancé she chose for her.
