After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 13

After An Jiuxi fell asleep for a while, Lu Huaisang knocked on the door and came in.

Seeing An Jiuxi asleep, he lowered his voice and said, "Seventh Master, it's time to take your medicine."

Jin Yize glanced at the dark Chinese medicine in his hand, took it, and drank it all in one gulp.

He didn't even frown.

She handed him the empty bowl, and seeing that he was still staring at An Jiuxi who was fast asleep on the bed, she frowned and said in a low voice, "Is there anything else?"

"Young Madam... are you alright?" Lu Huaisang asked.

The young lady saved his life; she was his savior.

In Lu Huaisang's heart, An Jiuxi was already on par with Jin Yize.

Jin Yize: "It's nothing." His tone shifted, "What did you see when you went upstairs to call her?"

Since there were no outsiders present, Lu Huaisang made no attempt to conceal anything.

However, he still subconsciously lowered his voice, "A paper doll," he paused, "alive, and holding up a piece of paper."

He didn't even knock, but the young lady knew he had arrived and what he wanted to ask.

And that paper doll was so lifelike, it was really... creepy!

Jin Yize frowned and looked at the girl sleeping soundly with her eyes closed on the bed.

Her extraordinary abilities are truly astonishing.

After thinking for a moment, Jin Yize's tone suddenly turned serious, "Give the order: not a single word of what happened today is to be spread outside!"

Lu Huaisang was stunned for a moment, then realized that Seventh Master was probably trying to protect his young mistress.

Nodding, "Yes, Seventh Master!"

He turned around and went to relay Jin Yize's orders.

An Jiuxi slept soundly until evening, until she was woken up by hunger.

The moment she moved, the person sitting on the edge of the bed immediately noticed and leaned forward slightly to turn on the light.

It was already dark, and the room was dimly lit.

As the lights shone down, An Jiuxi instinctively raised a hand to shield her eyes.

After she settled down, she looked at the man sitting on the edge of the bed with a concerned expression and asked in surprise, "Have you really been sitting here the whole time?"

It was completely dark outside, and she slept for at least six or seven hours.

He just sat there.

Jin Yize glanced at the girl's rosy complexion and breathed a sigh of relief. "You look much better. Are you hungry? Dinner is ready. Would you like to come downstairs or have it brought up?"

An Jiuxi patted her stomach. "Let's go downstairs to eat."

She didn't have the habit of eating in her bedroom; she always felt there was a strange smell.

An Jiuxi threw off the covers, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and naturally grasped the handle of Jin Yize's wheelchair, pushing him downstairs.

The movements were as natural as if they had been done hundreds or thousands of times, and had long since become a habit.

Jin Yize's lips curled up slightly as he glanced back. "By the way, when I came back this morning, I noticed something seemed different at home."

He only felt it, but couldn't quite put his finger on what the difference was.

An Jiuxi said in a calm tone, "I set up a qi-gathering array in the courtyard. Over time, it can regulate your body and expel impurities from your body, which will benefit you."

Jin Yize was surprised that she had made so many arrangements in just one day.

A surge of indescribable emotions welled up inside me, and after a long while, only two words escaped my lips: "Thank you."

"Need not."

She paused, about to add something, but Jin Yize interrupted her, "I know, it's just a transaction."

There was a subtle hint of sourness in his tone.

An Jiuxi touched her nose, not understanding, but not caring.

"Well, that's good if you know."

Jin Yize: I'm suddenly a little angry!

Downstairs, the old man was repeatedly instructing the Jin sisters and their respective families to keep quiet.

Then a servant called out, "Seventh Young Master, Young Madam."

Grandpa Jin immediately looked up, his gaze falling on An Jiuxi's face. He noticed that her complexion had improved considerably, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xixi, you're awake! Are you hungry? Let's get ready to eat!"

An Jiuxi paused for a moment, then looked a little embarrassed, "You guys... haven't eaten yet?"

Grandpa Jin smiled and said, "This is your first family reunion dinner since you came to our house, so naturally we're waiting for you to join us."

"Yes, and besides, you were seriously injured while saving our Hengfeng." Jin Yu said with gratitude.

An Jiuxi scratched her forehead somewhat awkwardly, realizing that she wasn't very good at handling such harmonious scenes.

On the contrary, she was better at dealing with the shameless scoundrels of the An family.

Noticing her emotions, Jin Yize spoke up calmly, interrupting his family's polite conversation.

"Alright, take a seat, Xixi is hungry."

Grandpa Jin quickly invited everyone to take their seats.

The Jin family has many descendants, enough to fill two tables.

An Jiuxi sat at one table with Grandpa Jin and others, while the other table was filled with younger generations.

Because of the presence of Grandpa Jin, and the advanced age of Jin Yize's sisters and brothers-in-law, the meal was relatively quiet.

Apart from the sounds of chewing and clinking dishes, no one spoke.

The younger generation, on the other hand, were having a lively chat.

"Do you think my aunt would agree if I asked her to be my apprentice?" asked Liu Xuyang, the youngest son of the eldest sister in the Jin family.

The Liu family is one of the most prominent families in Yuncheng. As the youngest child in the Liu family, Liu Xuyang has been showered with love and affection since childhood.

With several older brothers and sisters who had taken on the responsibility of inheriting the family business, he only needed to behave himself as a well-behaved young master of a wealthy family.

That's why I developed a straightforward and simple personality!

Among the younger generation, Grandpa Jin also liked him very much.

Ever since witnessing An Jiuxi's superb exorcism skills in the backyard, his admiration for her has been like a never-ending river.

If it weren't for Jin Yize's imposing presence that afternoon, he probably would have already barged in front of An Jiuxi and begged her to take him as her disciple.

Liu Xuyang's older brother, Liu Xucheng, gave him a cold look, "You should be worried not about whether your aunt will agree or not, but whether your uncle will agree or not."

Liu Xuyang immediately wilted at the mention of Jin Yize.

Liu Xuyang is fearless, but he is most afraid of Jin Yize!

He gritted his teeth secretly, "As long as my aunt nods, even if I get a beating from my uncle, I'll still kowtow and become his apprentice!"

He must learn that skill of summoning heavenly lightning.

So cool and hot!

Qi Mingxuan's eyes flickered. "I've heard that people in the Xuanmen sect take on disciples based on their talent. Auntie might not be interested in you."

Liu Xuyang glared at him upon hearing this, "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm stupid?"

Qi Mingxuan remained silent, but his expression gave him the answer.

Liu Xuyang was immediately displeased.

Hey! Why are you resorting to personal attacks?

Besides, how is he stupid?

Just wait, he'll definitely succeed in becoming an apprentice.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuyang's eyes rolled around, he picked up the juice in front of him, and ran over to An Jiuxi.

"Little aunt!"

An Jiuxi was caught off guard when someone suddenly shouted that from beside her.

After realizing what was happening, she met those bright, shining eyes and couldn't help but twitch her lips.

An Jiuxi, "Who are you?"
