"Because Miss Xu is known throughout the entire Mu'an Imperial City for being stupid and foolish, illiterate, and unable to play the piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting. And you are so brave and stubborn, and in the eyes of the servants, it seems stupid for you to pierce your thigh, but who knows that you did it to make your leg feel better?"

"So, should I still call you Miss Xu?"

Zhu Yu asked slowly, wiping the hilt of the sword unhurriedly.

Xu An's scalp tingled. Could it be that Zhu Yu had noticed it from the beginning, including coming to his house to show his courtesy, was all a lie? What about the people in Xiahou Mansion? They would also find it strange.

I suddenly thought of Madam Xia’s eyes at that time. She must have noticed something. How should I face her and the original owner’s father?

"To be honest, my name is Xu An. I am indeed from another place. I don't know why I ended up in your forbidden area, and I don't know why I look exactly like Miss Xu."

Just as Ze'an was about to speak, Zhu Yu waved his hand and a fiery red flame suddenly appeared in front of Xu An.

"Zhu Yu! What are you doing!?"

Ze'an had no time to react as the distance between them was very close. He didn't know why Zhu Yu made such a fuss and instinctively turned around and hugged Xu An.

Xu An's expression froze for a moment. She couldn't believe that Zhu Yu would direct his anger towards her for no reason. She couldn't believe that the man she had a crush on was like this.

"Ze, Ze'an, are you okay?" Although he felt a little painful inside, he was also afraid that Ze'an would be hurt at the first moment.

"It's okay. He is fire and I am water. Water can put out fire, but it can't do anything to me."

Ze'an raised his worried eyes and looked at Xu An's expression. I'm glad she wasn't hurt.

"Zhu Yu? Why are you like this? Although I am not the real Miss Xu, I am not a demon either."

"You two, you misunderstood. I just want to take back the magic root I sent to Miss Xu. This fire did no harm, it just moved faster. Of course, I also know that you are not a demon. I planted the magic root for you that day in the forbidden land in order to awaken you. Now it's time to take it back. Miss Xu, maybe you should also awaken your own power."

Zhu Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and explained with deep meaning.

Having said that, Ze'an felt more and more that Zhu Yu had other intentions.

So the voice I heard in the void that day was Zhu Yu’s call?

She had been sleepy for so long, and it was Zhu Yu who woke her up. Could it be that Zhu Yu was her official CP?

"There is one thing I have some guesses about. It's about the original Miss Xu."

"Zhu Yu, stop beating around the bush. This matter is very important to me." Xu An is a straightforward person. She hates beating around the bush the most. The more straightforward the words are, the easier it is to solve the problem.

"She disappeared out of thin air, but at the same time you also fell into the forbidden area. At the moment when the dark clouds stopped, I saw a faint ray of white light rushing towards you. It should have merged with you. If it weren't for this ray of white light, I'm afraid you would be covered in blood."

Xu An’s head went numb for a moment.

Could it be that the original owner was that ray of light? And it had merged with me.

"Then why did the men in black appear on the lake? You saw them chasing me. If Miss Xu was the white light, who were they chasing?"

"Those demons were probably trying to steal the ice crystals, and they just happened to run into you."

Xu An turned his head and looked at Ze An with unknown emotion, but Ze An's face was calm as if he had expected it.

He raised his eyes and met Xu An's gaze, as if he was looking at his silly sister from the past. He didn't say anything, but went over the whole story in his mind over and over again.

Seeing that the two were silent, Zhu Yu said, "To put it simply, Miss Xu may have existed for your arrival. It's not your fault. God has his own arrangements. As for why Miss Xu became a ray of white light, perhaps she is just a fragment of your soul, and you are the main body, so there is a reason why she was born stupid."

After hearing this, Ze'an didn't know whether to be happy or sad. If he hadn't taken his sister to the forbidden area, he wouldn't have met the current Xu An. Even though his sister existed for Xu An, she was also his mother's favorite child.

But Xu An couldn't accept that because of his arrival, a child who was once loved by his parents turned into ashes. If Madam Xia knew about this, how much would she hate him?

System, why did you arrange this? How can I face Madam Xia, the original owner's father, and Ze'an in the future? If they knew, what would Ze'an do?

She knew that Madam Xia loved the original owner, and she felt endless apologies for separating them, but she could do nothing about it. She looked at Ze'an with surging emotions, but Ze'an began to avoid her gaze.

After dodging, Xu An felt a little disappointed, but she realized that she shouldn't do this. She picked up a glass of wine and drank it. She choked and started coughing, and wiped away her tears to cover it up.

"Ahem, sorry, I choked on the wine and lost my composure."

She didn't want to look at Ze'an anymore. She knew that Ze'an would feel extremely guilty, conflicted and uncomfortable. After all, Ze'an treated her so well. Neither of them could accept this result.

But Ze'an did not completely believe what Zhu Yu said. He firmly believed that there must be other possibilities.
