The passers-by are vicious

In that case, I would like to see whether your abilities are as strong as your arrogance.

Jiang Wanwan was sitting in front of the dressing table in her boudoir, and Bixia was untying her hair.

After Haorong entered, she immediately took the comb from Bixia and slowly combed Jiang Wanwan's long hair.

Bixia and Haorong nodded and went back to rest.

"You have met those Taoist priests, right? They have done their best to exorcise the evil spirits in this town. You must instruct your servants at home and never neglect them."

Jiang Wanwan sat on a chair and looked through the bronze mirror at Haorong who was combing her hair with lowered brows and a gentle look.

"I really don't know whether these Taoist priests from Shushan can defeat the evil spirit that sucks human essence." Jiang Wanwan's voice revealed a hint of worry.

"I hope this storm will calm down soon." She prayed silently.

"Miss, don't worry. I believe the problem will be solved soon." Haorong gently placed the comb on the dressing table. Her narrow eyes in the mirror were slightly red, and her arms seemed to be gently hugging Jiang Wanwan from behind.

But Jiang Wanwan seemed not to notice. She suddenly held her forehead with her hand and said softly, "I don't know why, but I suddenly feel so sleepy." As soon as she finished speaking, her body began to shake involuntarily, as if she was going to fall on the dressing table in the next second.

At this moment, a pair of strong arms reached out and held her body firmly.

Haorong held Jiang Wanwan gently, afraid of waking her up.

He looked down at the woman in his arms, only to see that she had her eyes closed and her breathing steady, and had obviously fallen asleep.

Haorong carefully placed Jiang Wanwan on the bed and let her lie down comfortably.

Then, he knelt quietly beside the bed, staring at Jiang Wanwan's gentle and beautiful face, his eyes full of affection and attachment.

After a long time, Haorong finally stood up slowly and gently took off her coat.

He climbed onto the bed lightly and lay down carefully beside Jiang Wanwan.

As he moved, the bed curtains slowly opened, hiding the figures of the two people.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and Jiang Wanwan got up with the help of Bixia and Haorong.

Jiang Wanwan only felt that she slept very soundly last night, but what she didn't know was that there was a slightly red mark behind her ear.

However, Bixia thought it was suppressed and did not mention it, while Haorong seemed not to see it. She calmly followed Jiang Wanwan to the hall to have dinner.

"Thank you all for your hard work last night." County Magistrate Jiang Xing'an sat at the dining table and talked to Xuan Du and others with a smile.

After all, the short man was dead yesterday, so Xuandu had no choice but to inform the county magistrate Jiang Xing'an about the matter, and he sent someone to bring the body back to the county magistrate's mansion.

Otherwise, I would have been seen by the people in the town today, which would have caused panic among the people.

As the county magistrate, Jiang Xing'an naturally could not escape the label of dereliction of duty. In fact, he had sent people to ask for help from Taoist priests and magicians as early as after a demon that sucked people's essence appeared in the town. However, it was of no use to the Taoist priests and magicians. Instead, those so-called Taoist priests and magicians lost their lives.

He had no choice but to suppress the matter and wanted to report it to the court, hoping to contact the Shushan disciples to come down the mountain to eliminate the monster, but there was no response.

Although Jiayang Town is wealthy, it is just a small place in the eyes of the imperial court. How could they possibly ask people from Shushan to come and exorcise the monster?

Furthermore, although some people would age in a few days, no one would die. Moreover, there were many people coming and going in Jiayang, and the ageing of two or three people would not affect the operation of Jiayang Town, so the court naturally did not care.

Just when the county magistrate Jiang Xing'an was about to throw the jar into the air and just wanted to protect his family, it happened that the Shushan disciples led by Xuandu were passing through Jiayang for training.

He was naturally overjoyed. After all, if the monster was not eliminated, it might harm the people of Jiayang at any time. He was afraid that one day the monster would run to the county magistrate's mansion and hurt his daughter.

At this moment, Jiang Wanwan stepped into the hall. County Magistrate Jiang Xing'an immediately went to greet her and said, "Oh, I forgot to introduce you all. This is my daughter Jiang Wanwan. I heard that she seemed to have met Taoist Xuandu yesterday. This is really a fate!"

As he spoke, Jiang Xing'an stroked his beard, with a gleam in his eyes and a smile on his face.

"All Taoist priests, be well."

Jiang Wanwan, with her graceful figure, bowed gracefully, and with the careful support of Haorong, she sat down beside the county magistrate Jiang Xing'an.

"Miss Jiang." Xuandu nodded coldly, and only the fingers under the table moved slightly.

He couldn't help but cast his gaze towards Jiang Wanwan, but unexpectedly she looked up. The moment their eyes met, Jiang Wanwan's face was filled with surprise, and then she smiled as softly as an orchid.

Xuan Du quickly lowered his eyes and dared not look anymore.

The county magistrate Jiang Xing'an, who was watching the interaction between the two, smiled.

In fact, Jiang Xing'an did have some plans in mind.

His beloved daughter is about to become an adult, but because of her special fate, she has not been able to find a suitable marriage partner.

Now that she saw that Xuandu had a handsome appearance, was as cool as dust, and had an extraordinary temperament, she began to have some thoughts in her mind, but that was all.

You know, the Taoists of Shushan Sect are forbidden to marry and start a family.

Although his daughter Jiang Wanwan is naturally beautiful and looks like a fairy, the possibility of persuading Xuandu to give up his spiritual practice and return to the secular world to get married is probably very slim.

So, just as Jiang Xing'an was secretly thinking about it, he noticed that Duanmu Rong was sitting next to Xuandu, and showed obvious hostility after seeing Jiang Wanwan.

This discovery instantly dispelled the little thoughts that Jiang Xing'an had just sparked.

It was just a matter of fate..., but he was still unwilling to accept it, so after Jiang Wanwan sat down, the county magistrate Jiang Xing'an couldn't help but take the initiative to chat with Xuan Du for a few words.

He first took a sip of tea, then said casually, "When my daughter was young, the head of Shushan who passed by here told her that she was doomed and might not live past 18!"

Having said that, Jiang Xing'an sighed heavily, with a trace of worry on his face.

Then, he continued, "Originally, I didn't take this statement too seriously."

"After all, who can predict fate? But since she had her coming-of-age ceremony, all kinds of strange things have happened one after another. She often encounters accidents, either accidentally falling into the lake or getting sick for no apparent reason. As a result, even now, at the age of 16, she still hasn't found a suitable family."

After saying this, Jiang Xing'an stared at Xuan Du closely, his eyes full of expectation, as if hoping to get some answers or help from him.

When Xuan Du heard the words "will not live past the age of 18", his heart tightened and he couldn't help but look at the beautiful figure sitting there.
