I have to say that fate is really a mysterious thing.

"Is that you?"

In the moonlight, the long wavy golden hair drew a golden light behind the girl as she turned around.

With a pale yellow dress, it shines brightly.

The girl looked at Xu Lanqing with some surprise, as if she didn't expect to meet the boy who had met in front of the auction hall today at her doorstep, and the face that impressed her a little.

"What a coincidence."

Xu Lanqing, who heard the voice, came back to his senses and showed a polite smile.

"Hmm."

The girl glanced at the boy's smiling face, tapped her head, leaned sideways, and made way of the narrow alley leading outside.

Xu Lanqing looked at the left aisle, and just as he was about to walk through, he suddenly asked, "I saw you during the day as if you were stopped in front of the door of the Heaven Dou Auction Hall, is there something wrong with you?" ”

A hint of vigilance flashed in the girl's golden eyes that looked gentle as water, and in the face of Xu Lanqing, who was half a head taller than her, she took a step back without a trace and did not answer.

"Huh."

Xu Lanqing showed an embarrassed but polite smile: "It's just a little curious, nothing else." ”

The girl was silent, and her other foot retreated in the opposite direction from the wooden door, and her eyes drifted to both sides, as if she was trying to escape.

She could feel the strong and violent soul power in the other party's body that far surpassed hers, and at least she was a soul venerable.

This surprised her, after all, although the other party looked tall, he should be the same age as her, and the twelve-year-old Soul Venerable may be more than that, which big family is the son of.

"Well, I took the liberty of it, sorry." Xu Lanqing shrugged his shoulders and turned around.

It's just an ordinary question, and the reaction seems to be a little too sensitive, perhaps out of self-protection, and too vigilant.

Looking at Xu Lanqing's dark back that blended with the night, the girl's tense heartstrings relaxed slightly.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, noisy and disorderly, from far and near, accompanied by the faint sound of conversation, and stopped outside the alley.

Xu Lanqing turned his head to look at the girl, and then at the exit of the alley at the moonlight, several staggered figures, the figure stopped in place, and did not go out.

The girl pursed her lips and listened to the faint conversation coming in from outside, but she didn't say anything.

"Didn't you say that the ceremony would have to wait a little longer? Why is the family urging me to come back now? A deep male voice sounded, sounding like a teenager.

"Didn't you just find the right person?"

A rough and somewhat flattering tone followed: "Young Master, that girl lives in this alley, do you want me to call her out now, advance the ceremony, young master, you can also go back to Shrek in advance." ”

"Okay, I hope it's not an ugly girl, and I'm going to rush back from Shrek day and night." The boy said impatiently.

"Young master, don't worry, that's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life, and you will definitely be satisfied when you see it."

"Then I'm a little curious, hurry up."

"Okay, young master, wait a minute."

Figures swayed, footsteps rang out, and flattering men walked down the alley.

Xu Lanqing's eyes swept over, and he saw the pink palm of the girl beside him clenched, and with so much force, he could see the green tendons on the back of his hand protruding faintly.

And the girl's originally white and flawless delicate face looks even more pale at the moment, like a little white rabbit targeted by a big bad wolf, weak and helpless, Chu Chu's pitiful temperament makes him want to be carefully cared for in his arms.

"They're looking for you, aren't they?"

Seeing the girl's reaction, combined with the other party's conversation, Xu Lanqing knew what the situation was now with his toes.

Moreover, thinking of the original book he had read in his previous life, he already had a guess in his heart that the girl in front of him should be Jiang Nannan.

It's just that he is still young, his body has not fully grown, and compared with the Ice Emperor, the Snow Emperor is slightly younger.

But what puzzled him was that he remembered that this should have happened to Jiang Nannan when he was fourteen years old, and he was only twelve years old now.

But forget it, even the divine realm was taken away by the chaos of time and space in advance, and the time is chaotic, it should also be a problem of time turbulence, and it is estimated that everything has changed.

Seeing that Jiang Nannan's eyes were distracted, and he was silent as if he hadn't heard it, Xu Lanqing turned his head to look at the short man who had appeared at the mouth of the alley, and asked:

"It seems that you were forced to agree to their conditions, the kind that is difficult for you to accept? Now they're coming for you, so what are you going to do? ”

"I ......"

The boy's clear voice made Jiang Nannan finally come back to her senses, but after she just said a word, she didn't know what to say.

Like the crescent moon, the soft jade face has a complicated expression, struggling and hesitating, and sorrow lingers between her eyebrows.

She didn't know why the boy in front of her guessed so accurately, but what was the use?

Even if she doesn't want to, she has already promised the other party, how can she regret it now? Will the other party make her regret it?

Like that kind of big family, the most important thing is face, if the promised person breaks the contract, it is simply a loud slap in the face, what if she is angry and retaliates against her?

She is just a great soul master, and she can be said to be powerless.

What's more, since she can remember, she has been dependent on her mother, in order to raise her and provide for her to become a soul master, her poor mother doesn't know how much she has suffered.

Now that she has finally hoped, she has been admitted to Shrek Academy, and she will have a better future in the future, so that her mother can enjoy happiness.

But God always likes to joke, and her mother's condition suddenly worsened, and she didn't even have time to raise money.

In her heart, her mother is the most important thing, and for her mother to live well, she can pay any price, even sacrifice herself.

So, she agreed to the other party's request.

It's just that when she went home and wanted to secretly feed her mother Xuanshui Dan while she was asleep, she was discovered.

She has been obediently listening to her mother since she was a child, a good example in other people's mouths, and she quarreled with her mother for the first time.

This is also the reason why she ran out in the middle of the night to stand at the door of the house, wanting to blow the cold night breeze and let herself relax.

But I didn't expect the other party to come in advance now, but if the wood was already in the boat, my mother should have eaten the Xuanshui Pill, after all, this was exchanged for her daughter.

The corners of her mouth curled beautifully, but the smile looked so sad.

"You go, or you may be implicated." Jiang Nannan pulled the wind-blown blonde hair behind her ears and whispered to Xu Lanqing.

A kind heart allows her not to allow others to be hurt because of herself.

As she spoke, she walked towards the short man who was standing at the mouth of the alley, looking at Xu Lanqing with a puzzled look in his eyes.

When the night breeze hit, a few strands of golden hair swept across Xu Lanqing's face with the wind, itchy, and faintly like a gardenia, full of fresh, sweet fragrance.

Xu Lanqing turned around and raised her hand to press it on Jiang Nannan's shoulder, her powerful palm making her unable to move the slightest.

"Many people can only meet once in a lifetime, and after passing by, it is a lifetime."

He looked at the girl who was half-turned and looked at him in amazement, and said with a smile:

"Seeing you like this, if I don't do something, I will definitely regret it later."
