I stood beside them and listened quietly, not paying much attention to what they were talking about. But I heard the word "water ghost", which still makes me feel strange and confused in my head.

Suddenly, there was a picture of water ghosts wandering around his head, like ghosts, and he couldn't get rid of them.

I forced myself to close my eyes tightly and wanted to erase the scene in front of me, and I also hoped that I would stand beside Ji Zixuan as a little transparent and not be noticed.

He called my name, and that soft voice pulled me back to reality.

"Xinyi ......"

I raised my eyes, and a glint of resentment flashed in my eyes. stared at the man in front of him in a daze, and from time to time was attracted by the handsome face full of smiles. I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, sorted out my thoughts, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'll take you to the water tank and lure the water ghost out." How light he said was, and how shocked I was.

My eyes widened and I looked into his eyes with a stunned expression. I wanted to confirm if he was joking, but in his eyes, I saw firmness. Disbelief swooped down on me, followed by panic.

Silent refusal, I tilted my head to one side, some grievances pervaded my heart, and the desire to talk to him was getting bigger and bigger.

Ji Zixuan seemed to see my difficulties, but his decision still made me unhappy. He slowly approached me, reached out and gently attached to the side of my face, and surrounded me with an icy breath.

He said softly, "Good girl, I will stand by your side to protect you, don't be afraid."

The firm eyes, the cold but magical palms, and perhaps the smile that turned all beings upside down bewitched me and gave me some peace of mind, but it did not dispel the fear in my heart.

I still grabbed his arm attached to my face and asked suspiciously, "Why me?" And instead of you going? I rejected it from the bottom of my heart, distressed and restless.

Seeing that he hesitated again and again and still did not say the reason, but glanced at the patriarch in the chair, I was even more confused, and saw him whisper in my ear and replied: "It must be you."

I frowned, saw the glint in his deep eyes, blinked and stopped talking. Resigned to his fate, he approached the water tank, and his footsteps moved slightly and swept the water ghost in the sweeper.

The cheerful appearance of wandering around, I secretly feared.

Gritting his teeth, he crouched down in front of the water tank, trying to drag his trousers up so that they wouldn't get wet. But I didn't want to be stopped by Ji Zixuan, I looked at him in surprise and wanted an explanation.

I saw him crouch down in front of me, and I understood what he was about to do. A smile spread across his face, and he looked down at him fiddling with his trouser legs.

The undulating waves in my heart could not be calmed down for a long time, he raised his handsome face, rubbed my little hand, I was a little difficult to control the jumping in my heart, turned my head and said awkwardly: "Thank you."

Seeing my shy appearance made him even more happy, "Go ahead." ”

The one who should have come still has to come, and without hesitation, he stepped into the water tank, and the slight water stains splashed on his pants.

Before I could react quickly, a group of water ghosts gathered in my direction, and I couldn't help but swallow my saliva and shrink my toes in fear.

Feeling them swaying at my feet, I reached outside for support. After grabbing it for a long time, I finally touched Ji Zixuan's hand, and the fear and nervousness all turned into the strength in my hand, and it was added to his arm.

"Don't be afraid, they won't dare hurt you." Ji Zixuan encouraged me by my side, and felt the strength he transmitted, which made me feel a lot more at ease.

I finally had the courage to open my eyes, only to find that all the water ghosts that were originally around my feet were running towards the outside of the water tank and arrived at Ji Zixuan's feet.

My eyes widened in surprise to see him give me a reassuring look.

Remembering the situation when he forced himself into the water tank before, I was full of complaints about him.

But at this moment, it is all gone. Yes, how could he harm me? Of course not, after all, he has protected himself for so long.

My mood gradually calmed down, and I carefully let go of the force that grabbed his hand. only to find out that there were traces left on it. I looked at it with some distress and couldn't help but blame myself for my actions.

"Come out." He took my hand and pressed the gravity on him.

I jumped out of the tank and felt like I had found oneness. His gaze was fixed, and he seemed to notice my gaze.

With an inquiring expression on his face, what does it mean that something is wrong? I smiled and shook my head, glancing at the scars and grabbing his arm vigorously and blowing gently.

"Does it hurt?" I asked cautiously, still healing his wounds.

He looked at my eyebrows quietly and asked with a smile, "Distressed?"

I subconsciously want to answer, yes. But I was hard and deeply suppressed, touching his gentle gaze, and there was a feeling of satisfaction.

I didn't answer, but looked at his arm again, and to my surprise, the scar on my hand was gone!

I looked at him in amazement, only to find the conviction in my eyes.

came back to his senses in a daze, how could he hurt if he wasn't human? It's stupid.

Then the patriarch walked towards us, and perhaps he had been watching this place since the moment the water ghost was destroyed. It's just that it didn't disturb my conversation with Ji Zixuan.

I politely nodded to him in respect.

Seeing him laugh heartily, I looked at him disapplaudedly. He looked at me with satisfaction, and I felt pampered. Nor was he afraid, but looked straight at him.

Seeing that he fumbled in the bag of his clothes for a long time, he took out a sachet. He looked at the things in his hand with some affection, and I thought I was thinking too much.

Unexpectedly, he handed the sachet to me, and said with a smile: "Little girl, you have really helped me a lot, this is a gift for you." As he spoke, he looked at Ji Zixuan again.

I was a little confused, holding the sachet in my hand, and looked at Ji Zixuan with the meaning of inquiry. Seeing that he thanked the patriarch, he said to me: "The patriarch gave you, you can accept it, anyway, it is a good thing."

Good stuff? I couldn't help but sniff it, and there was a faint fragrance on the tip of my nose, which was really comfortable. I thanked the patriarch and treated him with more respect.

Both of them couldn't help but smile when they saw my movements, and although I didn't understand what they were laughing at, I still smiled sweetly, after all, it was politeness.

I listened to Ji Zixuan's words and hid the sachet on my body.
