Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Qiao Zihao looked at Shi Xiaxia with concern and heartache in his eyes.

But he knew he couldn't let Shi Xiaxia worry too much, so he suppressed his unease and forced a relaxed smile: "That's good. By the way, are you hungry? I made your favorite braised pork with chestnuts and sweet and sour pork ribs, I guarantee they'll be delicious!"

Shi Xiaxia walked towards the kitchen, saying as she went, "Your cooking smells so good! Your cooking skills have improved a lot."

Qiao Zihao quickly followed, grabbed Shi Xiaxia, and said nervously, "Wait, you're injured now, leave these things to me."

As he spoke, he carefully helped Shi Xiaxia to the dining table and sat her down. "Just wait here patiently, I'll bring the food up soon."

As Shi Xiaxia watched Qiao Zihao's busy figure, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Then Qiao Zihao brought a hot towel and wiped Shi Xiaxia's hands.

Then, he brought over the carefully prepared food and placed it on the table. He then sat quietly beside Shi Xiaxia, his eyes revealing a hint of shyness and nervousness.

His face flushed slightly, and his voice carried a hint of timidity: "Xiaxia, your arm is injured, it must be very inconvenient for you to eat..."

I...I'll feed...feed you...

After Qiao Zihao finished speaking, his cheeks instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaxia coughed lightly, and a faint blush rose to her cheeks.

She has never been fed by anyone since she was old enough to understand.

At this moment, Qiao Zihao actually offered to feed her...

Shi Xiaxia felt increasingly shy and embarrassed the more she thought about it.

So she quickly waved her left hand, trying to refuse: "No, no! I can use chopsticks with my left hand too!"

After saying that, she picked up the chopsticks with her left hand, picked up a piece of food and put it in front of Qiao Zihao, showing him that she could indeed use chopsticks skillfully with her left hand.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Qiao Zihao's eyes, but he quickly composed himself, smiled, and nodded: "Alright then, if Xiaxia can't do anything, you must tell me!"

"Okay, okay." Shi Xiaxia nodded hurriedly.

After a while, the redness on Shi Xiaxia's face gradually faded.

......

Despite her injury, Shi Xiaxia didn't stay idle at the villa; she still took on some simple tasks to complete.

At the same time, news of her offending Du Zhengming spread throughout the department, so many people looked at Shi Xiaxia with strange eyes, mixed with a bit of sympathy.

Jin Ran also comforted Shi Xiaxia, saying that the minister would make a decision for her in this matter.

However, Shi Xiaxia didn't care about these gossips and continued to do things her own way, busying herself with her own things every day and improving her rank in the department.

After all, the talisman pasted on Du Zhengming's body was actually a sign from Shi Xiaxia indicating that "Master Qingyun" and "the wizard of Meilai Qinghai" had her secretly helping him.

If Du Zhengming continues to be so blind as to come looking for trouble, then he'll really be courting death.

......

Time passed day by day, and half a month went by in the blink of an eye. Yue Mingzhu's injuries were completely healed.

That day, she invited Shi Xiaxia to visit her sect, Yuxian Sect.

Shi Xiaxia knew that Yue Mingzhu was aware of her desire to learn about the Yuxian Sect, so she specially invited her to go under the guise of gratitude.

The Yuxian Sect has a history of over a thousand years, and naturally, there is a wealth of information about it.

Shi Xiaxia knew very well that it would take a lot of time to read through all the information, so she packed her luggage, said goodbye to Qiao Zihao, and went to the Yuxian Sect alone.

Although the Yuxian Sect is a sect, its address is actually just a slightly remote manor.

This is a last resort, after all, the rapid development of modern society has severely compressed space, and those small sects have long lost their territory.

As a relatively unknown sect, the Yuxian Sect naturally no longer had its own mountain gate.

The Yuxian Sect doesn't have many members. Besides Yue Mingzhu, there are her senior sister Chen Xiaoxiao and Yan Shangren.

For the sake of the sect's survival, Yue Mingzhu chose to work in a more dangerous department, while Chen Xiaoxiao stayed in the sect and took on a junior apprentice, Xiao Yuan.

There were only three adults and one teenager in the entire manor.

They took Shi Xiaxia's arrival very seriously, waiting at the manor gate early in the morning, and even wearing their solemn sect uniforms.

When they saw Xiaxia get out of the car, they immediately went up to her warmly.

"Sister!" The teenage Xiao Yuan was exceptionally enthusiastic. As soon as he saw Xia Xia, he couldn't wait to jump and run forward, raising his little face with eyes full of joy and curiosity.

He carefully examined Shi Xiaxia's face and exclaimed sincerely, "Sister, you are so beautiful!"

Hearing this innocent yet sincere praise, Shi Xiaxia couldn't help but smile slightly.

She gently reached out and tenderly stroked Xiao Yuan's little face, saying, "You're cute too!"

The gentle-looking Chen Xiaoxiao walked over slowly with a friendly smile on her face and said, "Xiao Yuan hasn't had much contact with outsiders, so he's always particularly excited when he sees someone coming."

Shi Xiaxia smiled and nodded, then added, "Being disconnected from society is also bad for a child's development."

Chen Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, her expression somewhat helpless, and said, "We know that too."

However, Xiao Yuan's destiny is special, and before he has fully mastered his power, we dare not easily let him go out.

Shi Xiaxia then began to observe Xiao Yuan more closely, her gaze falling on him.

Suddenly, she reached out and gently hooked her hand around Xiao Yuan's neck, pulling out a jade pendant hanging on his chest.

Mysterious runes were engraved on the jade plaque, shimmering with a faint light.

After careful examination, Shi Xiaxia frowned slightly and muttered to herself, "It's actually a reincarnated evil spirit..."

A person who is a reincarnation of a demon is surrounded by a strong demonic aura.

This smell can not only influence the personality of those around you, but may also attract even more powerful evil spirits.

If it were to attract a vicious ghost, it could trigger a massive disaster, potentially causing the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

If it weren't for the jade pendant obscuring his face, Shi Xiaxia would have been able to see through Xiao Yuan's destiny at a glance.

"Young friend Shi, are you familiar with this destiny?"

Yan Shangren had already heard about Shi Xiaxia's abilities from Yi Huan, so he quickly asked, "Do you have any solutions?"

After pondering for a moment, Shi Xiaxia shook her head and said, "I don't have a better solution at the moment."

Upon hearing this, Master Yan immediately lost his spirit.

However, this is understandable, even though Yi Huan praised Shi Xiaxia's abilities to an incredible degree, she is still young after all.

He had sought out various sects before finally obtaining this jade tablet. If Shi Xiaxia were to claim that she had a better method, those powerful sects would be utterly ashamed.
