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

Chapter 5

However, logically speaking, with such a large hole in her soul this time, she should have been unconscious for five, six, seven, or eight days before waking up.

Why did you wake up so quickly this time?

An Jiuxi looked at the purple aura surging wildly within the murderous aura of the person in front of her, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her.

"After you brought me here, you stayed by my side the whole time?"

Jin Yize nodded. "Mm."

"What else did you do?"

Jin Yize shook his head, "I didn't do anything."

Even the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her or how to treat her, so what could he do?

However, I was worried, so I sat there a little longer.

An Jiuxi was puzzled again. He hadn't done anything, he had just sat next to her, yet he had accelerated her waking up.

Frowning, An Jiuxi made a hand seal, her consciousness sinking into her mind to check the injuries to her soul.

They discovered that the large gash had been largely repaired, and a faint purple aura lingered around the wound.

So, it really was the purple aura on his body that helped her.

In an instant, An Jiuxi looked at Jin Yize as if he were a priceless treasure, her eyes shining brightly.

Even the usually calm and composed Master Jin was a little startled by her gaze. "What's wrong?"

An Jiuxi suddenly leaned closer, and their breaths could be heard between them.

After becoming paralyzed, Jin Yize became increasingly gloomy, and his whole being lost its warmth.

He usually wears a smile, but that smile always sends chills down your spine.

The young woman, who appeared to be in her early twenties, met his cold, emotionless eyes with her clear, bright gaze, remaining unblinking for a moment without showing the slightest fear.

Jin Yize looked at her with interest and asked again, "What's wrong?"

An Jiuxi blinked.

I must say, the man in front of me is really good-looking.

Her features were exquisite, her eyebrows and eyes like a painting. Even her eyelashes were long and thick, making girls envious. Her obsidian eyes were like cold stars adorning the night sky. They didn't appear sharp, but they were unfathomable, making people unable to see her emotions and feeling a sense of oppression.

This man was so handsome he was almost perfect, like a masterpiece of the Creator.

Suddenly, An Jiuxi smiled brightly, "I feel... I've picked up an incredible treasure."

The girl spoke earnestly, her words coming from the bottom of her heart, leaving Jin Yize speechless for a moment.

After a long silence, he slowly smiled in front of her and said, "Who knows... I might not be!"

He's been sick for so many years, and his father has even resorted to desperate measures like a "lucky marriage" to ward off bad luck, which shows how hopeless he is.

His fiancée, who appeared out of nowhere, revealed the cause of his illness and claimed she could cure him.

Like a withered tree sprouting new buds, Jin Yize's withered heart gradually began to stir.

A person who is usually aloof and wears a fake smile, when they actually smile, it's like the sun breaking through the clouds, making people's eyes light up.

An Jiuxi was captivated by that smile, momentarily lost in thought, her heart pounding.

"Seventh Master, there's a call from the old house..."

The ward door was suddenly pushed open, and Huai Sang, who came in to report, froze in place halfway through his sentence.

He stared blankly at the two people in the ward who were almost touching!

Judging from the posture, it seemed as if the young girl was the one who took the initiative, and that her Seventh Master was being taken advantage of.

An Jiuxi snapped out of her daze, coughed lightly, and sat back down somewhat awkwardly.

Good heavens! How could she, a person who cultivated herself in the Xuanmen sect, be so easily seduced by beauty?

Shame!

This is so embarrassing!

On the contrary, Jin Yize seemed much calmer. "What's wrong?"

"The old master wants you to take your young mistress back immediately, saying that... something happened to the third son-in-law."

With his brows furrowed, Jin Yize turned to look at the bed.

An Jiuxi had recovered by now and nodded upon seeing this, "I'm fine now, let's go."

Jin Yize: "No need to force yourself."

His original intention was to let her stay in the hospital temporarily, and he would go back to take care of things and then come back to pick her up.

Although the doctors couldn't find the cause of the illness, it's not a good thing for someone to suddenly vomit blood and fall into a coma when they're perfectly healthy.

An Jiuxi shook her head, "I won't force myself, I'm really ready."

Jin Yize frowned and observed her for a moment. Seeing that her complexion was rosy, she did not look sick.

It's speculated that people like them, who have some knowledge of metaphysics, have their own methods of healing.

Without saying anything more, he said, "Go and complete the discharge procedures."

Late at night, at the Jin family's old residence.

The old man, who should have been resting, sat on the sofa, his weathered face grim and dignified.

Kneeling before him was a middle-aged man in his forties.

The rest of the Jin family sat in various corners of the living room.

Grandpa Jin had six daughters and one son. Jin Yize was his late son, born when he was over fifty, and he was especially doted on by him from a young age.

So after Jin Yize's incident, the old man seemed to age ten years overnight.

Over the years, I've been busy trying to find ways to treat Jin Yize's illness, and I haven't paid much attention to things at home.

Unexpectedly, someone caused a major disaster just by relaxing their guard for a moment.

The person kneeling is Qi Hengfeng, Jin Yize's third brother-in-law.

Jin Yize has six older sisters, the eldest of whom is nearly thirty years older than him.

Even his youngest sister was more than ten years older than him.

The accident on the cross-river bridge shocked the entire city of Yuncheng.

The mayor immediately ordered a thorough investigation into the cause of the bridge accident.

With the collaboration of various departments, the cause of the accident was investigated and clarified in less than half a day.

During the construction of the bridge, the contractor cut corners and used substandard and illegally constructed materials.

The department in charge of the investigation immediately detained and questioned the contractor from that year, as well as the relevant personnel responsible for supervising the construction.

This investigation uncovered a shocking corruption case that is the likes of which are seen only once in a century!

And Qi Hengfeng was actually involved in it.

As soon as the news broke, Qi Hengfeng immediately sent people to investigate. When they learned that people involved in the matter had been arrested or imprisoned, he realized he was in trouble and rushed back to ask his father for help.

Upon hearing this, the old man was furious.

The matter was of great importance, yet Qi Hengfeng deliberately delayed speaking about it until the evening.

Half a day has passed, and the best opportunity to sever his connection with this matter has been missed. What can the old man do?

But his third daughter and grandson cried their hearts out in front of him, begging him to save their lives, and the old man finally softened.

That's why someone called Jin Yize and asked him to come back, wanting to ask if there was any way to salvage the situation.

An Jiuxi pushed Jin Yize into the living room, and they immediately received stares from all directions.

The old man was the first to look at An Jiuxi, his gaze sweeping up and down her face. "Xiao Ze, is this the An family's daughter?"

"Yes."

The old man nodded and forced a smile at An Jiuxi, "I heard that Miss An fainted on her way back, so she must be feeling unwell. Someone, take Miss An upstairs to rest."

This means they don't want her involved.

An Jiuxi didn't want to get involved in the Jin family's affairs. Jin Yize was useful to her, so she only needed to care about him.

But when his gaze fell on the kneeling person, he couldn't help but frown.

"Huh, it's actually a soul-capturing technique."
