"It's a bit strange that our sister Xu An actually has a man coming to visit her." Xu Ze'an leaned against the table and gave Xu An a mocking look.

Xu An seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before. She stood up with the help of the table. The wound on her leg had not healed yet, so she walked with a limp.

"Miss Xu——"

The weather was really strange and unpredictable, and the snow outside the door was sparse. Hearing this, Xu An didn't think much and responded, "I'm here."

Hearing the response, a hint of green suddenly landed under the locust tree in the yard.

The fine snow fell, like soft goose feathers gently floating on the ground.

Walking through the snow was a slightly familiar figure.

Under the white fox fur cape is a plain green dress, which is cool, simple and elegant.

Xu An looked over and met those eyes which were as clear as mountain stream water, and they stared at each other.

The man felt a burning sensation in his heart beating up and down. He walked closer slowly and saw a pair of bright eyes.

"Miss Xu, I am sorry for trespassing."

Seeing him salute, Xu An came back to his senses and murmured, "Who are you?"

"I'm Zhu Yu."

"Oh my god! It's you!"

Xu An stood up straight in an instant, and his legs no longer hurt. After all, he couldn't lose in momentum.

Zhu Yu slowly took out a handkerchief from his arms and said, "I will return it to you today, what you left behind that day."

Xu An took the handkerchief blankly and replied calmly: "Um...thank you."

This handkerchief must have belonged to the original owner. I’ll keep it for now so that it won’t be exposed.

When Zhu Yu saw Xu An took it calmly, he seemed to have thought of something and curled the corners of his mouth unintentionally.

Xu Ze'an stepped forward with his hands on his hips and stood between the two of them, teasing with a sense of malice: "It turns out to be Master Zhu. Isn't he always hanging out in that broken lake, fighting and killing people? Why did he come to our house today?"

"Sorry to bother you. In addition to returning the handkerchief today, I have something else to ask of you."

Hearing that he had something to ask for, Xu An frowned and asked unhappily, "Your sect has spells, so why do you come to me for help?"

Zhu Yu rolled up his sleeves and took out a piece of bloody ice from his cuffs, which was emitting a faint blue light.

It looked familiar, Xu An seemed to have seen it somewhere before, "Isn't this the ice cube I used to pierce my thigh that day...it hasn't melted yet?"

Zhu Yu suddenly handed the ice to Xu An with both hands, with a serious expression.

"Everyone knows that there are sacred artifacts and world-destroying ice crystals at the bottom of the lake, so our sect has been doing its best to protect it over the past few hundred years. Anyone who gets close to the center of the lake will be crippled at best, or bleed from all seven orifices at worst."

"Just a few days ago, the ice crystals shook for some reason and began to break and melt. On that day, you not only appeared in the middle of the lake but also climbed up from the bottom of the lake without any backlash. Moreover, the ice stained with your blood did not melt for a long time."

"So what do you want to say, how can I help you?"

"This piece of ice seems to have life now. We think your blood can repair the ice crystals, so we would like to borrow your blood for use."

After hearing this, Xu Ze'an burst into laughter for no apparent reason, "Hahaha, you said her blood can repair ice crystals?"

Zhu Yu still had a cold look in his eyes. He said nothing, lowered his head silently, bent down, raised his hands and put them in front of Xu An, "Please help us repair the ice crystals, Miss Xu."

Xu An was at a loss for words at this formal request. "What if that day was just a coincidence?"

If you think about it carefully, the original owner who suffered the backlash that day is already dead, so maybe it's just a coincidence that the blood didn't melt and freeze together?

"It can't be a coincidence. The wound on your thigh should not have healed yet. Normally, everything in the forbidden area will backfire. You cut your leg with ice that day, but ordinary people can't even save their lives, let alone their legs? So maybe you have some connection with ice crystals."

Xu An frowned slightly and complained in his heart.

What he said made sense. According to the backlash, if I was just lucky that day, I would have definitely died this time. It was not worth taking the risk.

"Master Zhu, it's not that I won't help you, but we humans can't interfere in your sect's affairs. Didn't you say the same thing last time? There's no benefit to discuss."

Hearing her say this, Xu Ze'an got excited, leaning against the door frame and sneered, "Sister Xu An, a cowardly person, how could she help you?"

Xu An really wanted to slap Xu Ze'an to death. He was like a mosquito, buzzing non-stop and farting with a mouth full of air.

Facing Xu Ze'an's ridicule, Zhu Yu raised his head slightly and stared into Xu Ze'an's eyes. A trace of contempt flashed in his crystal blue eyes. "It's ridiculous that you don't even understand your own sister."

Xu Ze'an never thought that his stupid and idiotic sister could actually get help from the people in the sect?

"An outsider is actually commenting on our family affairs."

"Your sister is not a coward. A weak woman appeared in the snow and ice, leaning on a piece of broken ice to pierce her thigh and staggered towards the lakeshore. This is much better than you who can only open your mouth."

Awesome, this is a familiar routine. Could it be that Zhu Yu is the male protagonist assigned to me by the system?

It was also the first time that Xu An was protected like this by someone, and it was a stranger he had only met once, which really made him laugh out loud.

In this case, of course she changed her expression quickly, with a smile on her face and a slight upturn in her lips, and said cheerfully: "I promise you, but you have to teach me how to practice first."

Xu Anke didn't want to waste blood in vain, so she touched the bracelet on her wrist. If there was a backlash, the bracelet might save her life.

I took the ice cube from Zhu Yu's hand and felt a little strange in my hand.

Zhu Yu stacked his hands with the left hand below and the right hand above and placed them on his forehead. Then he crossed his arms and placed his palms on his shoulders. He slowly bowed his head and expressed his gratitude to Xu An.

"I will never forget Miss Xu's help."

The three of them were a little dumbfounded by this. Xu An didn't expect that he would be saluted by the people from his sect who had invited him a few days ago.

Xu Ze'an was left speechless by Zhu Yu's words.

He really didn't understand Xu An and used to threaten Xu An all day long, but his sister never complained.

"Then let's start tomorrow." Xu An said and returned a salute to Zhu Yu.

It is better to rely on yourself than on others. This world is too dangerous. You should learn some skills to save your life first.
