Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

Hawthorne's wariness did not displease the man in front of her.

Seeing that the person in front of her showed no intention of explaining anything, Hawthorne grew increasingly nervous, turned around, and ran outside...

And who is that person?

It gave her a subtle, familiar feeling, as if she had seen it before.

But she couldn't remember anything at all.

It's as if a large blank space has appeared out of nowhere in my memory; it's a feeling I've never had before.

Hawthorne didn't understand why, and increasingly felt that everything happening now was suffocating her.

Stumbling and falling...

Turn and turn again...

When she came to her senses, she found herself back in front of the courtyard she had just escaped from.

Without thinking any further, she immediately turned around and ran in one direction without looking back. Even after passing two alleyways, she didn't turn back.

But suddenly a wall appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

So he started frantically trying to recall how he had found his way here.

I didn't think much of it when I was chasing after the guard; I just kept searching and eventually found them.

They didn't take any particularly complicated routes.

She didn't believe she was experiencing a "ghost wall" phenomenon, so she started walking along one side of the wall...

After circling around a few times, we ended up back in front of that courtyard.

Now, Hawthorne was completely dumbfounded.

She had no idea what was going on. How could she have gotten lost on this ordinary little path, and no matter which way she went, she couldn't find her way out?

Could it be related to that person?

Hawthorne mustered her courage, returned to the door, and pushed it open...

That person was still standing there.

"Who exactly are you?" Huo Sanghua thought to himself, since he couldn't escape anyway, he decided to steel himself and step forward to ask again.

She's been gone for so long, and this person hasn't stopped her. He just waits here, as if he knows she can't escape.

"What kind of person do you think I am?" the man asked her.

Her demeanor was casual and composed, with a smile in her eyes...

Hawthorne looked him up and down...

He followed her gaze, spreading his arms out and even spinning around in place, as if to make her see clearly.

He... ...is about thirty or forty years old?

Huo Sanghua felt that he didn't seem like someone his age; he had a kind of... overly mature temperament that she had never seen in Li Lang or Xie Lin. Even Xie Shu... seemed naive in his presence.

If I absolutely had to say who he resembles...

Is this Lord Xie?

No...

Not like.

Compared to Lord Xie, this man appeared far too young. His face betrayed his age, his eyes were bright, and his entire being...

He exudes an aura, like that of a spiritual practitioner.

A Taoist immortal demeanor.

“I don’t know,” Hawthorne answered frankly. She really couldn’t guess the man’s identity. “I feel like you’re familiar, but I have no memory of ever seeing you. You’re very special… If I had seen you, I would definitely remember you.”

The man smiled but didn't speak. He just stared at her as if she were someone he had known for a long time.

"What should I call you?" Hawthorne asked, trying to find a connection between them. Once the man told him how to address him, Hawthorne could find clues from the way he addressed him...

"Whatever you like," he said. "You can call me whatever you want."

"Big brother? Or... Uncle?" Hawthorne asked.

Calling him "elder brother" feels like a mismatch in generation, but he looks so young that calling him "uncle" is a bit awkward.

The man shrugged, indicating that he didn't mind.

"You're so boring, always making me guess." Huo Sanghua felt a sudden surge of anger, and couldn't help but chide him in front of the man. This inexplicable closeness startled her... "There are only two ways to address you: 'Big Brother' or 'Uncle.' 'Big Brother' makes you seem quite old, but 'Uncle' makes you seem......"

The man suddenly laughed.

This left Hawthorne completely bewildered.

"Haha, hahaha..." He suppressed a laugh. "I've already said, you can call me whatever you want. I'm older than you think. And our relationship is much closer than you can imagine, so I'll accept whatever you call me."

"And your name? I'll just call you by your name." Hawthorne also suppressed her temper.

“I don’t remember my name,” he said. “It’s been a long time since anyone called me by my name.”

“The seventh day…” Hawthorne said, “So today happens to be the seventh day, so shall I call you Seventh Day?”

"Okay." He actually agreed.

Hawthorne increasingly felt that this person was too strange.

"Chu Qi, do you know those people from just now?" She felt that Chu Qi's appearance here was not a coincidence, but he had clearly saved her and protected her from being discovered, so he was obviously not with those people.

He himself said that their relationship was far closer than she had imagined...

Hawthorne asked cautiously, "You and they aren't together... right?"

"Chuqi" nodded. "No."

Then she would be relieved.

"Do you know... what's going on in the alleys outside? I just went out from here, but I can't find my way back. I've gone around in circles, but I always end up back here. Can you take me away from here?" She was afraid that Li Lang and the guard would find her.

She couldn't find a way out, and it seemed that Li Lang and the others couldn't either.

If you keep going around in circles, you'll eventually find it, right?

"Are you leaving here?" Chu Qi asked her. "Leaving here might be dangerous."

“Staying here is dangerous. Rather than waiting here, we should go out and find a way to survive.” Hawthorne didn’t want to stay here and wait to die, but then she thought about what “Chu Qi” had just said… …“…You left me here? To make sure they couldn’t find me?”

Chuqi didn't say anything, but kept smiling at her.

This can be seen as an admission of her guess.

Sure enough... Huo Sanghua gasped in shock; this person's abilities were even more impressive than she had imagined.

Even if she asked how it was done, "Chuqi" probably wouldn't tell her.

"Then how should I leave here?" Hawthorne thought that he had been out for so long, and if he didn't go back soon, Wutong would probably become suspicious.

"If someone comes looking for you, you can leave."

After saying "the seventh day of the lunar month," he was about to walk out of the courtyard.

Hawthorne was afraid of missing him, so she quickly followed.

But as soon as she stepped out of the yard, everything around her was completely different from what she had seen before she returned.

This seemed to be a bustling market street, but it wasn't the place she remembered visiting. "Where is this?"

"Chuqi" did not answer, but just kept walking forward.

She followed closely behind "the seventh day of the lunar month," arriving at a teahouse and going upstairs...

On the seventh day, he sat down on a platform.
