Perhaps it was because Jiang Xuxu's expression was too strange when she looked at the mark, Chu Beihe's eyes became a little sharp, and he locked his eyes on her tightly.
"What is this mark?"
"This..." Jiang Xuxu calmed down, his face returned to normal, and he met Chu Beihe's gaze, explaining without any guilt.
"This is a protective mark to keep you safe."
Jiang Xuxu said this without blushing or beating her heart, and she had no intention of telling him about her fiancé.
Chu Beihe just looked at her, his pair of black eyes seemed to be shattered with light, flickering.
"oh."
He responded with a low voice, the ending tone rising slightly, as low and pleasant as a cello, but with a deeper meaning.
Jiang Xuxu was afraid that he would ask more questions, so he turned around and asked how Chu Beihe knew the other person.
Chu Beihe said,
"When I met her, she claimed to be a guest lecturer at Haishi Taoist College."
Seeing Jiang Xuxu's eyes move slightly and she opened her mouth as if to ask something, he did not wait for her to open her mouth and said,
"As for why we became friends, that's my private matter, so I can't tell you."
Jiang Xuxu pursed her lips, feeling that her words were blocked.
But at least it wasn't a complete loss.
Haishi Taoist College...
She repeated the name silently in her mind.
But I felt a little confused.
The master never said that she was also a lecturer at the Taoist Academy...
But anyway, it's a clue.
If you think about it carefully, today's harvest is not small.
I found the lightning-struck wood left by the master, got clues about the master, and also... I got a fiancé.
Jiang Xuxu couldn't help but look at Chu Beihe again.
The man in front of him was still surrounded by golden light, and his handsome facial features seemed to be illuminated by a holy halo. This was probably what the "godly face" often mentioned on the Internet meant.
However, his eyes and brows wrapped in the holy light revealed a kind of indifference and coldness, giving people a feeling of being difficult to approach.
But since the master could give Chu Beihe the lightning-struck wood that he valued so much, and also put the peach wood mark on him, it means that Chu Beihe himself must be no ordinary person.
She even had a premonition that as long as she kept an eye on this person, she would be able to wait for the master to appear.
As for the matter about her fiancé, Jiang Xuxu decided not to talk about it for the time being.
Let’s wait until we find a master.
Jiang Xuxu thanked Chu Beihe, picked up the rice dumplings and the peach wood that was struck by lightning, and left the Chu family villa.
Chu Beihe stood on the second floor and watched her walk away, his pair of dark eyes gleaming with a hint of coldness.
He raised his hand and looked at the mark on his palm again. Thinking of Jiang Xuxu's explanation just now, his face showed no joy or anger, only the slight curve at the corner of his lips brought a hint of mockery.
"Protective mark?"
Haha, you are obviously lying.
…
Jiang Xuxu didn't know that his lie had been seen through by Boss Chu. He quickly ran back to the Jiang family's villa, holding the rice dumplings in one hand and the lightning-struck wood in the other.
Inside the Jiang family villa, everyone had already been alarmed by the explosion, but they didn't expect to find no one in Jiang Xuxu's room. Just as they were getting worried, they saw Jiang Xuxu hurriedly coming back from outside, still wearing the slippers he wore at home.
"Xu Xu, where have you been? We heard a lot of noise in your room just now. Everyone was worried. Why did you run out?"
Second Madam Yao Lin stepped forward, speaking with anxiety and concern, her eyes swept over her body and then fell on the thing in her hand, with an inexplicable expression.
"And picked up a branch?"
Jiang Xuxu wasn't angry when she heard her talking about the tree branches. To an outsider, these things were just like ordinary wood.
Just explaining casually,
"I was just doing an air cannon experiment in my room and it accidentally failed."
The third wife, Xue Ningyu, happened to be at home today. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but step forward to show concern.
"Why are you still doing experiments in the room? This is too dangerous. Are you not hurt?"
Jiang Xuxu shook his head, paused, and added,
"I'll pay attention next time."
Xue Ningyu smiled at her, but heard Jiang Han next to her speak in dissatisfaction,
"You're doing experiments at home? Don't you know how dangerous it is to do experiments? What if something explodes? You're not the only one living in this house."
Although Jiang Han has restrained himself a lot since the last time, it was rare for him to catch Jiang Xuxu making a mistake, and since Jiang Yucheng and Jiang Huai were not at home, he naturally would not be polite.
Jiang Xuxu turned her head when she heard that, but before she could say anything, Jiang Su jumped out before her.
"Isn't this okay? My sister knows her limits when it comes to small matters. Why would she blast you?"
Jiang Su's defense was too obvious, which made Jiang Han so angry that his face turned ugly.
Ever since the accident that day, this brat has become a different person, chasing after Jiang Xuxu all day long.
He didn't even go to pick up Xuexi when she was discharged from the hospital. Xuexi was also indifferent when he talked to her yesterday. I don't know if she took someone's drug.
Thinking of Xuexi's sad expression at that time, Jiang Han's face became even gloomier.
"You said it's okay, so it's okay? Can you guarantee it for her?"
Then he turned his head and looked directly at Jiang Xuxu.
"Since you have returned to the Jiang family, you can't just act on your own pleasure without considering others."
What he said was just short of saying that she was selfish and uncultured.
When Jiang Su heard this, he was about to go up to argue with him again, but unexpectedly Jiang Xuxu raised his hand and the charred dead branches stopped him directly.
She looked at Jiang Han by herself.
"You're right. There are so many people living in this house. I can't tell some people to shut up just because they are too noisy."
Her tone was calm, without any hint of sternness, but Jiang Han's face darkened when he heard it.
"Who are you calling noisy?!"
Jiang Su was not afraid of getting angry at all, and happily assisted, "Hey, whoever agrees will be the one to say it."
