Poor girl is hated by everyone, villains drive her crazy

A well-known philanthropist in the area?

Yu Xi thought about Zhong Xian's usual appearance with a complicated expression, and it seemed like they were not the same person.

She was just wondering whether this Zhong Wenyu was a relative of Zhong Xian when suddenly it became noisy outside the house. The already busy street seemed even noisier.

When Granny Liang heard the noise, the smile in her kind eyes deepened:

"Look, what a joke! He came right after I mentioned Lord Zhong!"

As she spoke, she took Yu Xi out of the house. The originally quiet outside the door was now crowded with people.

They were waving enthusiastically in a certain direction. The shorter ones couldn't see in front of them, so they could only jump and shout, "Where is our top scholar?"

Many people in the attic poked their heads out, some of the older girls waved gently with colorful handkerchiefs in their hands, and the more enthusiastic ones laughed out loud and said, "Master Zhong, look over here!"

Following their line of sight, one could see a young man walking slowly along the long street bathed in the warm sun, leading a black horse.

The young man had black hair and white clothes, and was tall and handsome. The moment he appeared, he attracted everyone's attention, and everything around him seemed to fade into the background.

His golden eyes were long and narrow, with a gentle and helpless smile, and there was a red mole between his eyebrows. He was so pure that he seemed like a Buddhist who had come to the mortal world, or a compassionate god.

The first snow has just cleared and the sun is rising above the blue sky.

"Don't crowd here, it's too dangerous. Everyone, go and do what you need to do. I have something to talk to Granny Liang about."

Gently patting the somewhat restless horse beside him, the young man smiled and spoke, his voice soft and pleasant.

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, a handkerchief from someone's house fell on him.

He took the handkerchief, looked at the peach blossoms on the sleeve, sighed as if accustomed to it, raised his head to look at the girls who were still looking at him enthusiastically, and said helplessly:

"Girls should be more reserved..."

There was even more laughter and joy all around.

Yu Xi stared at the other person walking towards her in a daze. Amid the bustle, a sentence suddenly popped up in her mind:

Riding a horse and leaning on the sloping bridge, red sleeves waving in the building.

This bold and cool look...

"elder brother?"

She whispered.

The person in front of him looked exactly like Zhong Xian.

But Zhong Xian’s eyes were black, with dense black spells under his eyelids, and there was no red mole between his eyebrows.

Zhong Wenyu came to see Grandma Liang.

He led the horse into the yard and closed the door, finally blocking out the enthusiastic gazes from outside.

"Our Lord City Lord is still as popular as ever." Granny Liang teased him with a smile, "But you are not young anymore, it's time for you to get married. The Emperor wants to grant you a marriage."

"Granny Liang, please stop teasing me. There are demons everywhere now. My friend from the Immortal Sect complains to me every three days. We need to live in peace and there are still many things to do."

Zhong Wenyu spoke helplessly and gently brushed off the fallen flowers on his head. He was about to talk about the rescue station outside the city, but when he glanced sideways, he saw Yu Xi who was staring at him in a daze.

Only then did he notice that there was a child next to Grandma Liang.

He squatted down and looked at Yu Xi carefully, then said in a gentle voice, "Little girl, are you a half-demon? Where are your family members? I don't think I've seen you before?"

"This little girl is here to look for her brother."

Granny Liang immediately said, "She said her brother's name is Zhong Xian, but I've never heard of this person. Have you heard of him?"

"Bells?"

Zhong Wenyu was stunned for a moment.

His name is Xian, but few people know that. So looking for Zhong Xian is the same as looking for him, right?

Before he could speak, Yu Xi moved her ears, took a step forward and hugged his neck:

"Brother, you are my brother!"

Zhong Xian was stunned.

He lowered his head and saw Yu Xi looking at him seriously with his tail erect, his pair of grape-sized eyes blinking with great certainty.

Looking behind Yu Xi, the big furry tail that looked like a snowball was raised high, and the tip of the tail was shaped like a heart.

[So cute…]

[So cute, so cute, so cute, so cute, so cute!!!]

[Oh my god, what a cute little fox! How could this little baby be so cute? This soft little face, these soft ears, this furry tail! This is a fairy! Where did this little fairy come from? How could he be so obedient for me to hold! ]

[I want to kiss her to death. I want to roll her into a small ball of dough and hold her in my arms and bite her off! How can this poor little thing be so cute! ! ]

Yu Xi: “…”

Okay, no need to confirm anymore, it’s definitely me.

But she didn't expect that Zhong Xian in the illusion would not recognize her.

Zhong Xian was mentally frantic, but he looked normal on the outside, except for the fact that there were lots of little hearts popping up behind his head.

He gently touched Yu Xi's head, his voice even gentler than before, so gentle that it seemed like he was about to squeeze water out of her:

"Did the little girl recognize the wrong person?"

"No mistake, you are my brother!"

Yu Xi hugged his neck tightly, and his warm body temperature made her reluctant to let go.

But she did not forget that all this was not real. She closed her eyes and said seriously, "Brother, we should go back."

For some reason, she couldn't tell that this was just an illusion, a past that had already happened and could not be changed.

Before Zhong Xian could reply, Granny Liang at the side spoke first: "Little girl, you recognized the wrong person, didn't you? Master Zhong doesn't have any sisters."

Yu Xi's identity hasn't been confirmed yet. She feels a little uneasy about letting Yu Xi approach the city lord rashly. The city lord must be in a difficult position as well.

"Then it's not impossible for me to recognize one now."

Zhong Xian coughed shyly.

Granny Liang:?

The champion who dared to refuse even the emperor coughed again, his voice getting smaller and smaller: "The little girl has called me brother, so I can't call her that for nothing, right? Then I might as well just be this brother. There's nothing I can do about it..."

Granny Liang: ???

Seeing Zhong Xian's head full of worries, Granny Liang wanted to pick up her walking stick to see if she could beat him up to wake him up.

At this time, Zhong Xian asked Yu Xi in his arms again: "Where did you say we were going back to? By the way, I don't know your name yet."

Yu Xi looked at him and said, "Yu Xi, I am Yu Xi."

Yu Xi?

Zhong Xian was stunned when he heard the name.

Almost instinctively, he immediately asked, "Xiao Xi'er?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, all the memories came flooding back. His head started splitting, and his golden pupils were quickly covered by a haze. His bright eyes were instantly covered by ghostly aura and turned back into a deep, hollow black.

At the same time, he staggered back half a step, his body gradually became cold, and the spell began to spread from his eyes to his face. The kind red mole between his eyebrows disappeared, replaced by a dark and violent ghostly aura.
