His features were incredibly handsome, and his long, narrow phoenix eyes gave off a cool and aloof feeling, yet they also conveyed a gentle and polite sense of distance.
Beneath her high, straight nose were pale red lips, their graceful curves resembling cherry blossoms.
Her elegant jawline was perfectly defined, and she exuded an air of refined nobility. She looked gentle yet had an indescribable sense of indifference and detachment.
He parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Mmm."
He couldn't see the girl swimming, but since Shen Zhi said so, he believed him.
"That girl plunged into the water; I have to say, that technique is really good."
Shen Zhi watched from the shore as Si Jinyan floated up and then plunged back down, explaining the situation to the boss beside him.
"The fortune teller my aunt mentioned has probably left. Let's go too." The handsome man gestured for Shen Zhi to push him away.
"Okay, boss."
Shen Zhi glanced at his boss, then obediently pushed his wheelchair toward a van parked on the side of the street.
When will the project with the Jiang family begin?
The man had handsome features and spoke in a calm tone, as if discussing something completely ordinary.
Shen Zhi replied, "Construction will start in September. Is that land really going to be handed over to the Jiang family like that?"
Shen Zhi couldn't believe that the Xiao family would willingly let the Jiang family bleed them dry like this.
If it were the Xiao Luo'an of the past, she would never have been swayed by a small family like the Jiang family.
Xiao Luoan's legs suddenly became paralyzed, and despite searching for renowned doctors all over the world, no one could cure her. The examinations all said there was no problem, but she just couldn't stand up.
I don't know which guy came up with the crazy idea to have the Xiao family bring in a new bride to bring good luck.
Before Xiao Luo'an became paralyzed, all the noble families in the capital were vying to marry their daughters into the Xiao family.
After I heard that he was crippled, apart from the Jiang family who were willing to marry their daughters off, no other wealthy families were willing to push their daughters into the Xiao family's door.
Even a powerful partnership needs to find someone who is healthy, because lower limb paralysis can affect sexual function.
If there are problems even with continuing the family line, then the decline of the Xiao family is only a matter of time.
Therefore, Xiao Luoan, once the most eligible bachelor in the capital, suddenly became someone that wealthy and noble ladies avoided like the plague.
The Jiang family agreed to marry off their daughter on the condition that the abandoned amusement park in the west of the city be used as a place that used to be a cemetery, but it has been abandoned.
That piece of land covers 350,000 square meters and is backed by a natural landscape, making it perfectly suitable for development into a natural ecological park and amusement park.
This project isn't something you can just get with money; it's backed by government funding.
Its significance is completely different; the benefits after completion will absolutely grow exponentially.
The Jiang family used to be so low-ranking that they weren't even in the top ten among the elite families in the capital, but now they are thriving and have long since replaced the Chu and Lin families.
"Didn't you hear what my aunt said at the restaurant? The fortune teller said that only by meeting someone whose name has the grass radical can I avert my calamity." Xiao Luo'an's face was expressionless.
Shen Zhi, however, felt that this was an era where people still believed in superstition.
But ever since the boss became paralyzed, Mrs. Xiao has also become superstitious, and actually believed in the so-called "bringing good luck" marriage and forced the boss to marry the daughter of the Jiang family.
As is well known, the Jiang family has only three sons and one daughter, Jiang Caiyun, whose name happens to contain the grass radical.
Just now in the restaurant, Xiao Luoan's aunt, Xiao Tingmeng, said exactly that: the fortune teller didn't even know what she was asking for, yet he was able to figure out who Jiang Caiyun was. It's clear that he's really capable.
That's why Xiao Luoan was asked to come over after finishing her meal, hoping she might run into the fortune teller.
At this moment, Si Jinyan was still searching for her two treasures in the river. Suddenly, she seemed to remember that her Green Lotus Hairpin could turn into a Green Lotus Sword.
He formed a hand seal and chanted, "Sword, come!"
Suddenly, a bright blue light shone from the river, and a blue longsword rose from the water like a swimming dragon.
When Si Jinyan saw that his sword had returned, a happy smile appeared on his face.
She touched the water's surface with her toes, and the Azure Lotus Sword lifted her up.
Master always said she was lazy, and every time she returned to Lingxu Temple, she refused to climb the 3,999 stone steps.
Why insist on climbing the mountain step by step when there are clearly effective sword-wielding techniques available?
He always drives up the mountain via the road behind it...
Si Jinyan stood on the sword, his entire body suspended on the river surface.
If anyone were to witness this scene, they would surely think she was a goddess descending to earth.
Dressed in a light blue robe, with her long, flowing black hair cascading down her back and fluttering in the night breeze, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her an ethereal being.
A faint smile appeared on Si Jinyan's lips. She decided to cut off this river and see if she could find her Qiankun Bag.
"Azure Lotus Sword Slash." She mobilized her spiritual power and, with the determination to cleave the river in two with a single sword strike, slashed down.
The sword energy of the Azure Lotus Sword directly separated the entire river surface, and the water on both sides, unable to flow backward, actually rushed towards the sky.
Si Jinyan watched as the river spread out from both sides, revealing a space about the width of a person in the middle.
"The Universe Bag!"
As expected, the Qiankun Bag remained perfectly intact and floated in place.
It truly is a precious treasure left by our ancestors; it's so well-behaved.
Si Jinyan used his spiritual power to draw it back from a distance, and the Qiankun bag returned.
However, before she could be happy for long, the river water on both sides began to crash down due to gravity.
She hurriedly flew into the air on her sword, only to watch helplessly as two giant curtains of water crashed back into the river.
"Bang!" The sound was absolutely earth-shattering!
Si Jinyan felt like she had gotten into trouble. Looking at the turbulent river, she felt a little guilty, but thankfully the riverbank was fine.
She hurriedly landed on the riverbank, hoping no one would see her causing trouble there.
Xiao Luoan and Shen Zhi heard a loud noise behind them and turned around at the same time, only to see a sky full of water mist.
A person landed on the ground amidst the mist, stepping on water droplets. Although their face was not clearly visible, their silhouette indicated that it was indeed a woman.
"Boss, am I dreaming?" Shen Zhi rubbed his eyes and asked uncertainly.
How could someone fly out of the water mist? Yes, fly out.
"I must not be dreaming, I saw it too." Xiao Luoan pursed her lips and looked at the figure on the ground.
Si Jinyan noticed that there were two other people watching her from a distance. She thought to herself that this was bad. What if someone took a picture of her and posted it online?
He immediately cast a teleportation spell and disappeared.
When Xiao Luoan and Shen Zhi blinked again, the figure had completely disappeared, leaving only wisps of water vapor.
"I'm probably just too tired and hallucinating. Let's go." Xiao Luoan herself didn't believe it was a hallucination; how could two people be hallucinating at the same time?
There's no point in dwelling on it anymore.
