"You have something strange on you, don't you?"
The look in Ji Nan's eyes when he looked at me was as if he had already determined that there was a problem with my body.
But what surprised me the most was why Ji Nan felt that there was something out of the ordinary about me, and why he said those words were merely a test.
Thus, I awkwardly smiled, trying to change the topic.
"Director Ji, I don't quite understand what you're talking about. I've really never offended anyone. "
When Ji Nan heard this, his face sank.
"Bai Jian, don't not believe me. There really is something in this world that you don't know. I knew that man just now and he was clearly a good man. Why would he suddenly do something like that to you?"
I couldn't maintain the smile on my face and could only choose to remain silent. I didn't want other people to know about Luanyang's situation, so I chose to leave with only two choices, to pretend that I didn't know anything.
But before I could react, Ji Nan already said, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you. Even if it's something invisible, I still have a way to deal with it. My great-grandfather is a very powerful person!"
He spoke with a face full of pride before carefully pushing me into the lounge. He said that he wanted me to have a good rest and leave the rest of the matters to him.
It just so happened that I didn't know how to react at this time, so I casually pushed the boat to let him confirm my thoughts.
Looking at the lounge that was about the size of my bedroom, I couldn't help but curse a few words of capitalism. However, there was nothing I could do to reject it.
He didn't know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up, he felt as if he was floating on clouds, indescribably comfortable.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, he was immediately frightened by what was in front of him.
It was a wrinkled face, densely covered with spots from old age. However, the strangest thing was that pair of eyes. Normally, old people were a bit cloudy, but those eyes gave people a feeling of cleverness.
I looked at my reflection, as if I had no privacy in front of him.
The old man smiled when he saw me wake up. Pink petals of peach blossoms stuck to the tips of his fingers.
"Little girl, we were really fated to meet."
After saying that we were fated to meet, my tone became a little more serious, causing me to become even more vigilant. I didn't forget what the old man said last time.
Whether it was true or not, he could feel that Luanyang must be real.
I pretended to be afraid and curled up my body. I didn't want to meet the eyes of this old man. He wasn't angry, but he could reason things out by himself.
"We are indeed fated. You are fated to be my foster grandson, and you are also fated to be an old friend of mine!" It's so rare to find traces of him in this world, what a pity! "
I held myself back, and even if I heard his words, I didn't have the slightest intention of leaving.
Until he heard Ji Nan's voice coming from outside.
"Grandpa, don't say such enigmatic words. Didn't you see that you scared Bai Jian?" Ji Nan seemed to be in a hurry as he spoke, and his breathing was also a bit unstable.
The old man snorted, "Youngsters are too impulsive. I've taught you since you were young, you can't be impulsive, but you refused to listen. You have to know that I saved your life."
I stealthily lifted up a bit of the blanket and saw that Ji Nan had an extremely unsightly expression. He was a bit patient and even more angry. However, he eventually let go of his family background.
"Got it, goddam grandpa."
The old man nodded in satisfaction and continued, "This child's heart is filled with love spells. I'm afraid that the Hu family will have to find the one that placed the curse."
"A love curse? A name doesn't sound like a good thing, but what is it? "
Ji Nan gnashed his teeth, looking extremely disgusted.
The old man turned his head and met my eyes. He nodded with a chuckle and said, "It's better for young lady to show her head. After all, the energy of the heaven and earth is the most important."
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. These people always liked to act like this and speak pretentiously.
When Ji Nan saw that I had woken up, he anxiously came to my side. With eyes filled with affection and concern, he asked, "Bai Jian, are you alright?"
I shook my head and hung my head. I didn't want to look at anyone.
Ji Nan didn't mind. Instead, he urged the old man to quickly say the love curse.
I secretly pricked up my ears, wanting to hear it clearly. Luanyang had only said the word love curse, but she didn't tell me the specific situation, allowing me to be taken advantage of.
The old man lightly coughed and slowly walked over.
This love curse originated from the Hu family. In the northeast, there were two major families that people could not offend. One was the Hu family and the other was the Huang family. From the name, one could tell that the Hu family was a fox while the Huang family was a weasel.
The fox race used love to their heart's content. They had a secret curse that was used to punish the unscrupulous Little Three. This was because the fox couldn't bear to hurt the people that it liked, so it could only harm the 'Little Three'.
The biggest characteristic of the love curse was that it would easily make the opposite sex fall in love with it and then marry it. If they were to be in cahoots with it, then they would lose their essence energy and only those who genuinely liked the person under the curse would not be controlled, but if the two were in cahoots with each other, then they would be in extreme pain and die with blood flowing from their orifices.
How was this a love curse, it was simply a 'death curse' that was meant to deal with Little San!
I opened my eyes wide. It was hard to imagine what the other party was trying to do with me, whether it was trying to lose his energy or die from the blood flowing from his orifices.
Did Luoyang not want to know the details of the spell because she was afraid of increasing my fear?
While I was randomly thinking, I suddenly heard Ji Nan suddenly realize something and say, "This love curse is too unfair. The person that the fox spirit likes is completely fine!"
The old man sneered, looked at Ji Nan's innocent face, and continued, "How is this possible? The Hu family is quite vicious. They still have another Peach Blossom Fiend, and they will want to be befriended. However, the process will be very painful. This is a lesson."
Anyway, no matter what, I just don't want to offend the fox race. The old man has no way to remove the love curse on my body.
Ji Nan clearly noticed this as well, "Grandpa, then are you unable to save her as well?"
The old man stroked his beard, his gaze distant.
"It's not that I don't want to save him, it's that I'm powerless. If it was that person, I might have been able to give it a try, but doing this would not benefit me at all!" Moreover, that person is already long gone. "
Hearing this, Ji Nan immediately lowered his head. "You always say that person. Anyway, there's no saving him now."
Compared to Ji Nan, I am more stable. Because I want to reach Luanyang, does he have a way to save me?
