"Uncle Su, right? The patriarch spoke.

Su Xi hurriedly got down from the soft couch and walked to the center of the hall, not knowing whether to kneel or what, just lowered his head: "Yes, it's down." ”

"Raise your head and let me see. The patriarch said to Su Xi.

Su Xi was surprised in his heart, although he didn't know why, he also obediently looked up at the patriarch.

Just now, Su Xi just glanced at the patriarch quickly, and this time he looked at him, looking at him from this angle, he felt more and more that he was calm and atmospheric, and he had a good temperament.

After all, it is not an ordinary person who can be a patriarch. It's just that in Su Xi's speculation, even such a calm man with full aura and extraordinary temperament is still being played around by the priestess, which is really embarrassing.

In any case, believing in a certain god is not a very shameful thing for Su Xi, it can only show that it is a difference in religious beliefs.

However, faith is faith, but it cannot be blindly believed, at least, unlike the villagers of Wu Village, who blindly and blindly believe in the words of the priestess and believe in the matter of the witch doctor and that Abang.

In fact, these are all up to the decision of the priestess, who stays, who enjoys what kind of treatment in Wu Village, is up to her, just because she is a sacrifice.

And even the patriarch obeys her, it is conceivable that the real power that the patriarch can hold is still limited, after all, he has to ask the priestess for the opinion of everything, it seems that the priestess received the will from the gods, and then conveyed it to the patriarch, but in fact, it is just the priestess's own will.

Originally, the appearance of the patriarch that Su Xi imagined was a person who seemed to have no opinions, because as a puppet person, he should not have such an aura and momentum, and the appearance of the real patriarch was far from the appearance of the patriarch in Su Xi's heart, but it made Su Xi full of hope for this witch village.

At the very least, they also have a patriarch who seems to be reliable.

Perhaps, he was not as badly deceived by the priestess as he had imagined.

Su Xi didn't know why, he always felt that the patriarch looked at him with some scrutiny and questioning, what was he questioning?

Thinking of this, Su Xi's heart suddenly rose to her throat, although her disguise skills were not as powerful as the old man at the beginning, but it was still difficult for ordinary people to see it, her past days in Wucun proved that no one had ever been able to see her true identity.

But in front of the patriarch, to be precise, in front of his sharp gaze, Su Xi was a little bottomless in her heart, but she was a little unsure, the doubt in the patriarch's eyes was really because she saw through her own disguise? Or was it because of something else?

Compared with Yi Rong, Su Xi hoped that it was because the patriarch suspected something else, so that she still had the confidence to come back, but if it was really a matter of identity exposure, Su Xi would have to think carefully about how to lie to the patriarch, such a crime of deception is not something that anyone can endure, especially in front of powerful people.

Su Xi comforted himself, fortunately, he did not deceive the emperor like this, otherwise, the crime of bullying the king would be punished by the nine clans, but it saved the assassination of Jing Hao by the Seventh Prince.

"Stand down, all of you. The patriarch was clearly looking at Su Xi, but his words were with Jiang Yihui and the others.

Su Xi could only hear the noisy footsteps gradually drifting away, and then, the patriarch finally spoke to her: "How old are you?"

This is a difficult problem for Su Xi, especially when the patriarch looks at Su Xi with such questioning eyes just now, which makes Su Xi feel as if he has exposed something, and it is precisely because he doesn't know what has been exposed, so he will be even more unconfident in his heart.

"Why does the patriarch ask that?" Su Xi asked rhetorically, unless she had to find out what the patriarch had seen, she would never answer the question easily, especially this kind of question that might cause deception and bring guilt to herself.

The patriarch smiled, with a mocking smile: "I have reigned for twenty years, except for sacrifices, no one has ever asked me questions, you are not only imaginative, but also very bold. ”

Su Xi smiled bitterly, what the patriarch said was not something nice, she didn't hear it, and at this time, she could only deal with it in silence.

"Wash off the makeup on your face, you can't hide it, it's okay for a girl to go out and take some protective measures, but in Wucun, in my mansion, you don't have to. ”

The patriarch said calmly and indifferently.

Although he had been prepared in his heart for a long time, when he heard the patriarch say this, Su Xi's heart still "chuckled" for a while.

It's really not an idle person, so many people can't see it, but you can see it, it's really not a person who can be bluffed simply, which makes Su Xi's pressure increase a little.

In this way, how much ability and how powerful the priestess must be to make such an old ginger obey her wishes.

Su Xi doesn't like the saying "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" very much, which means that she has to work hard to fight wits and courage with these people, or on other people's territory.

It is true to say that he is a little discouraged, after all, he is not afraid in the face of a strong enemy, and it is because he has strong capital, or he has nothing. But Su Xi can't do it, she doesn't have a lot of capital, she doesn't have anything, but she has a strong heart to find Jing Hao, if something happens to her, Shen Wu and Shen Qi don't know that Jing Hao may be in Wu Village.

Anyway, Su Xi still has to worry about her own life, at least she has to figure out whether that Abang is Jing Hao or not.

Under the leadership of the maid, Su Xi went to wash off the makeup on her face, she didn't want to wear the clothes of the woman prepared by the maid, but the maid blocked at the door had a big posture, don't want to go out if you don't change it, Su Xi knew that from the moment she entered the patriarch's mansion, she had already become meat on the chopping board.

What is the appreciation of talents, the appreciation of works, it's all bullshit.

After changing his clothes, Su Xi simply tied a braid, and then returned to the front hall with the maid, and found that there was one more person in the front hall: the witch doctor.

And after seeing Su Xi, the witch doctor was not surprised except for some surprise in his eyes, as if he knew that she was here.

Su Xi only heard the witch doctor smile and said, "Really, you are even more beautiful than I imagined." ”
