After fast time travel, I became the favorite of the villain

Chapter 19

Before he had gone a few steps, he saw Yan Xiao in formal attire head on.

Xia Ruan was afraid that the system would give herself another side mission about Yan Xiao, so she hurriedly dodged away.

"Xia Ruan, don't you say hello when you see me?" Yan Xiao's voice seemed to be soaked in ice for thousands of years, and Xia Ruan was only terrified when he heard it.

Xia Ruan, who was timid and timid, immediately straightened her back, turned around, and said with a smile: "I was thinking about something just now, and I didn't see you. Brother Yan Xiao, you won't hold grudges for such a trivial matter, right?"

"No. I was a little worried about you when my uncle told you what happened to you yesterday. Now that you look like you are eating and drinking well, I think I'm worrying too much."

With a smile in his eyes, Yan Xiao pinched the miscellaneous leaves on Xia Ruan's shoulders, and said softly: "I came here this time to talk to your father, and to invite you to the dance party in three days. , the information is all on this invitation. There are still many young talents at the ball."

Xia Ruan didn't want to pick it up, but was forced into his hand.

A bouquet of gold-edged roses was printed on the cover of the invitation, and the venue was the Fury Ballroom on Center Street.

On the way to Liuyun Taoist Temple, Xia Ruan's thoughts returned to yesterday.

"Dad, I'm just going to the Taoist temple for a while, and I'll be back soon." Xia Ruan squeezed out a big smile and tugged at Father Xia's sleeve.

Father Xia didn't even think about it, and directly refused: "No way. It's too unsafe to go out again just a few days after you were out of danger. Last time you said to go to Qijing Temple to pray for... him, but you were captured by the monster. I will never allow this to happen again!"

"Dad, in fact, I am also thinking about my own safety. You said that if I go to the Taoist temple and learn a little Taoism, won't I be able to protect myself? I can't always rely on you, I also want to grow up."

Father Xia hesitated for a while, and said earnestly: "Then...send some bodyguards with excellent martial arts to follow you, you can't let them come back first."

In fact, if Father Xia thinks about it carefully, he will find that Xia Ruan's rhetoric has many loopholes.

But seeing his daughter laughing so heartily and clinging to himself, he was already satisfied.

"Okay, thank you Dad!" Xia Ruan said playfully, and kissed Father Xia's cheek by the way.

Learning Taoism is one of the pretexts, and the real reason is the black air that spreads endlessly in the mansion.

Ever since one cloud of black air was dispersed by Bai Xiao's letter that night, all the black air has gone around Xia Ruan.

Xia Ruan guessed that this might be one of the reasons for the bad luck of the Xia Mansion. After all, in this special era, there are quite a few people who use such insidious means.

Father Xia is also an important wealthy businessman in Longcheng, so he may end up having a feud at some point.

"Miss, miss..." Seeing Xia Ruan lowered her head in deep thought, Dian Zhu couldn't help but increase her voice.

"Uh...what's the matter? I was a little distracted just now."

"Miss, there is a mountain road ahead, cars can't pass, we have to go up the mountain."

Xia Ruan walked non-stop for an hour on the rugged mountain road, and his thirsty throat was about to smoke before he saw the Taoist temple.

Taoist temples are in the style of tiled houses, arranged together regularly, all with white walls and gray tiles, covered with dust, some eaves have large spider webs on one corner, and even one roof directly reaches the sky.

Seeing this, Xia Ruan thought it was a broken house that had been in disrepair for a long time, until she vaguely saw a few people in Taoist robes on duty in the distance, and then she was sure that she came to the right place.

Xia Ruan panted, and put her arm on Dianzhu's shoulder: "This... this is too difficult to walk, I'm exhausted..."

Qi Jue, who was on the afternoon shift, saw the two people who appeared inexplicably, and started chatting again.

"Miss Xia, why are you here?"

"I need your help with something."

"If you want someone to get rid of demons and goblins, you should first go to my master, Daoist Wang. If you want to hear gossip about Liuyun Temple, just go to me."

When Qi Jue mentioned the word gossip, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

But Dianzhu didn't like such a foolish look, so she just rolled her eyes at him.

Seeing this, Qi Jue became honest and friendly.

After finishing speaking, Qi Jue asked again: "Miss Xia, did you come up from that staircase?"

"Correct."
