The woman was lying quietly on her side on the bed, her cheeks rosy, her eyelashes trembling, her breathing even and soft, her rosy lips slightly open, showing her charming look.

Huaichuan's eyes flashed and he put the cup of medicinal wine aside.

He took out a delicate little box from his arms.

He glanced at Yao Jia lying on the bed, opened the box, and used tweezers to take out the white poisonous insect the size of a grain of rice.

He gently held Yaojia's right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then put the insect on the tip of Yaojia's index finger.

The insect, which had been still just now, seemed to sense something and immediately became excited, trembling its body and trying to get closer to the fingertips.

Huaichuan looked at the reaction of the poisonous insect in front of him, and an unprecedented light burst out in his eyes.

"It's you...it's you..."

Huaichuan whispered softly, staring at Yaojia on the bed, his dark eyes sparkling with starlight, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow.

It turned out to be her. No wonder I felt such a close feeling when we first met. It turned out it was destined.

Yao Jia was destined to be the person he would protect with his life.

The insect couldn't wait any longer and broke free from the tweezers. It bit Yao Jia's fingertips and started sucking her blood.

"Hmm~" Yao Jia cried out in pain, and her delicate eyebrows wrinkled.

Huaichuan was startled and then looked at her fingertips.

The insect, which was the size of a grain of rice just now, has now become round-bellied and shaped like a peanut.

Huaichuan threw away the tweezers and mercilessly flicked the insect into the medicinal wine. He picked up Yaojia's still bleeding index finger and put it into his mouth.

The tip of his tongue gently licked the wound to relieve her pain. He did not take out his finger until Yao Jia's brows relaxed, then he applied the ointment he had prepared in advance.

After finishing everything, Huaichuan stared at the medicinal wine beside him.

The poisonous insect had already turned into blood inside.

He picked up the wine glass, his throat moved slightly, and finally made up his mind to drink the medicinal wine in one gulp.

He turned around and looked at Yao Jia lying on the bed, and began to wait quietly.

Sure enough, within half a cup of tea, he began to feel a sharp pain between his eyebrows, as if someone was stabbing it with a sharp arrow, trying to pierce his bones.

Huaichuan took a deep breath and clenched his teeth to prevent himself from crying out in pain and disturbing the woman sleeping peacefully on the bed.

He stared at her intently, as if looking at her like this could alleviate the pain.

The next day, Yao Jia woke up and found herself lying in a strange room. She was a little confused for a moment.

After calming down, he remembered that he was in the Shadow Guard Camp.

Just as I was about to get up, I felt a pain in my fingers, but I didn't pay any attention to it and just got out of bed.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Huaichuan standing at the door.

Yao Jia greeted him with a smile.

"Senior brother..."

Before he finished saying "morning", Yao Jia discovered something unusual: the headband on Huaichuan's forehead was gone, replaced by a cinnabar mole between his eyebrows.

"When did you choose your master?"

Yao Jia knew that when the Shadow Guard chose a master, the master would feed the Gu with blood, after which a cinnabar mole the size of a mung bean would form between the Shadow Guard's eyebrows.

However, the specific process is not clear. In her previous life, Lin Congmo gave her the insect, and she no longer cared about it after feeding it blood.

Huaichuan looked at Yaojia in silence, with complicated eyes, as if he wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, his gaze fell on Yaojia's right hand.

Yao Jia followed his gaze, raised her hand, and found a wound the size of a green bean on her index finger.

He immediately cursed, "Damn Xuanying! How dare you plot against me?"

Yao Jia wanted to settle the score with Xuan Ying, but was stopped by Huai Chuan.

"Master left here overnight." He took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yao Jia.

"This is what Master asked me to leave for you, Master."

Yao Jia took the letter, opened it, and almost vomited blood.

The letter read, "It is as if I have seen you in person, Yao girl. I am your Xuan father. Although my identity has not been made public, your mother has promised that as long as I teach you well, she will allow me to accompany her in the Gathering Spirit Platform after my death.

Huaichuan is loyal, handsome, and humorous. He is much cuter than the apprentice taught by that old monster Su. You must cherish him. This is the person you signed for yourself. You are not allowed to return him, otherwise he will be destroyed!"

The letter also included a receipt signed by Yao Jia himself yesterday.

This means that if she tears up the document, this person will destroy Huaichuan!

Gan! ! !

A father appeared out of nowhere and he was plotting against her.

Just as he was about to explode, he heard Huaichuan say, "Master, when Master was leaving last night, he said that there was news from Kyoto that the Shangsi Festival in Qilian County this year will still be hosted by Tianxing Pavilion. If you leave earlier, you may still be able to catch up."

Yao Jia thought carefully for a moment.

In the previous life, the Shangsi Festival activities in Qilian County had always been hosted by Nangong Xiu Lan, but last year he was so angry at himself that he suffered mental damage, which allowed Chen Ying to take advantage of the opportunity. Unexpectedly, it would be his turn again this year.

Since Tianxing Pavilion is the host again this year, I have to go and keep an eye on it in person.

The Gu family is located in Qilian County. The marriage was granted by the emperor, so it is impossible to unilaterally cancel the engagement. The marriage certificate of Gu Xiyan must be returned.

With both options on the table, she naturally had to go.

"Of course, you can start preparing."

Upon hearing this, Huaichuan said respectfully, "Yes!"

Yao Jia looked at the cinnabar mole between his eyebrows, her eyes moving, and asked carefully: "Huaichuan, are you willing to choose me as your master?"

Huaichuan was startled, remembering yesterday when he was hiding in the dark and saw Yao Jia reject those shadow guards, and he felt secretly happy.

And his joy when Xuanying handed him the document.

After carrying Yao Jia back to the room, he couldn't wait to take out the insect.

After the pain in his body subsided, he sat at the head of the bed and guarded Yao Jia all night.

When she was about to wake up, he was afraid that she would be unhappy to see him, so he stood at the door and waited for her to come out.

He held the letter left by Xuanying, feeling anxious, uneasy and nervous until the moment Yaojia opened the door.

He began to look forward to what Yao Jia's expression would be when she found out that he was her shadow guard.

Huaichuan lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes covering the expression on his face, "Of course I am willing, after all, my current master knows me. I wonder if you are satisfied with me, Master!"

Yao Jia smiled happily, which definitely showed her agreement.

In this life, Huaichuan was no longer as cold and dull to her as he was in his previous life.

"Of course I am very satisfied with you, but there is one thing..."

Yao Jia stepped forward and took his arm, and started to act coquettishly, "Good Senior Brother, please don't be so serious, okay? Don't call me master, and call me Junior Sister like before. It seems so strange when you call me like that."

Huaichuan blushed when he heard this. He turned his head away and coughed lightly, "But this doesn't make sense."

"Scream! Scream!" Yao Jia's eyes curved into crescent shapes with a bright smile on her face.

Huaichuan was slightly startled, his eyes flickered, but he still insisted on calling Yaojia Master.

In the end, everyone gave in and called each other by their names, and Huaichuan finally gave in.

A shadow guard only chooses one master in his life, and he must be loyal to him all his life, whether voluntary or not, otherwise the cinnabar on his forehead will be the most poisonous poison.

Since Huaichuan still chooses her as his master in this life, she will treat him well and not let him take risks for her again.

They went to the Shadow Guard Camp alone, and came back as two. Lang Yue thought Huaichuan was looking for Ming Jue again, so she told him that Ming Jue drank a lot of wine last night and was still unconscious.

Huaichuan knew Mingjue's feelings for Yaojia. Since they were leaving tomorrow, he pulled Langyue aside and said, "Let's pack Yaoyao's luggage first. We have to leave here for Qilian County tomorrow. Let Yaoyao go over to look after Mingjue."

After saying that, regardless of whether Lang Yue agreed or not, he dragged the person away. Lang Yue had no choice but to shout to Yao Jia, "There's still a hangover soup cooking on the stove."

Yao Jia sighed, turned into the kitchen, and soon came into Ming Jue's room carrying a bowl of sobering soup.

As soon as the door was opened, a strong smell of alcohol hit her in the face. Yao Jia put the bowl on the table and opened the window. It took a while for the smell of alcohol to dissipate.

There were several wine jugs lying in a mess beside the bed, and Mingjue was lying on the bed with his body tilted.

Yao Jia walked over and was about to wake him up to drink some sobering soup, but Ming Jue happened to open his eyes.

Yao Jia was standing against the light. When Ming Jue opened his eyes, he saw warm light all around her. He squinted and looked at her for a long time before he raised a childish smile and reached out to hold Yao Jia's hand.
