In Yunmeng in May, the weather was a bit hot and the sun became brighter.

Zhu Yan, the young lady of Licheng City Lord's family, was wearing a cloud-like gauze skirt, and the rose embroidered with gold thread on the skirt was shining in the light, very much like her affectionate eyes when she looked at Wei Wuxian at this moment. head.

But the boy in black just lowered his eyes, quietly and seriously listening to the city lord's narration, as if he was completely unaware of her eyes falling on him from time to time.

The white teeth under Zhu Yantuan's fan unconsciously bit her lips.

"... Yan'er would get up every night and walk towards the lotus pond in the mansion by herself. She almost drowned in the pond several times. Even if she was tied to the bed, she could still break free from the rope. Last night, if it wasn't for If the young master saves you, the little girl will really drown." The city lord wiped the sweat from his brow, his chubby face was full of fear.

Wei Wuxian nodded at him, and looked at the five or six new Jiang disciples behind him: "Now, I'm here to test you. What kind of evil is going on in this situation?"

"It's... the water ghost is causing trouble!"

"Correct answer!" He snapped his fingers: "Then, who can tell me what a water ghost is and how to deal with it?"

Another female disciple responded enthusiastically: "Water ghosts are transformed by people who died of drowning. They linger by the water and cannot be reincarnated. They will lure living people into the water to be their scapegoats, and then they can be reincarnated. To deal with water ghosts, you must They have to be caught and exposed to the hot sun to make them disappear."

"It disappeared...is it dead?" Xiao Bai couldn't bear it.

Wei Wuxian said with a smile: "It was originally transformed from a dead spirit, it has no consciousness of its own, and it will only follow the instinct to entangle the person who fell into the water. If we catch it, we can make it escape from the shackles of the water and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation. .”

"But...but why does it only haunt me?" Zhu Yan moved the round fan, revealing a charming face, she frowned, and said in a soft and pleasant voice, "I've never been in the water before."

There seemed to be water in her eyes, she only glanced at Wei WuXian, the shimmering light was extremely moving.Wei Wuxian's gaze also fell on her face, his pupils were dark black, like shining black gemstones.

The two looked at each other deeply, and there seemed to be a viscous atmosphere flowing between them.To Xiaobai, this scene was extremely dazzling.

She was stubborn in her heart, and the more glaring she was, the more she refused to move her eyes away, like a child looking directly at the sun, tears streaming down her face unconsciously.

Wei Wuxian raised the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Because you took away Zhu Yan's body, who would she look for if she didn't look for you?"

"What?" Everyone was surprised.

Zhu Yan's movement of shaking the round fan froze, and then she showed a weeping expression: "I don't know what Mr. Wei is talking about."

Wei Wuxian sneered, and raised his chin slightly: "All the things about the vengeful spirits in this world can't escape my eyes. You are not Zhu Yan, you are a lonely ghost who occupies a magpie's nest."

"This is... what's going on here? Mr. Wei, you mean, she is not my Yan'er?" The city lord was already confused: "But, she is obviously Yan'er."

Zhu Yan rushed over and hugged his arm: "Father! Who am I if I'm not Yan'er?" She looked at Wei Wuxian, tears dripping down her cheeks.

"Mr. Wei, I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no grudges in recent days. Why do you bother to slander me? I am so grateful to you... If so, why did you save me? You told me to die clean!"

She screamed like a cuckoo weeping blood, which moved people unceasingly. The servants in the mansion looked at Wei Wuxian with righteous indignation.Even Jiang's disciples who came to the City Lord's Mansion showed some hesitation on their faces.

Xiaobai looked at her, and then at Wei Wuxian. Although this girl with a beautiful face showed so much sincerity, she only believed in Wei Wuxian.

Wei WuXian smiled at her, looked at Zhu Yan who was still weeping, and said, "You're still pretending, if I expected, you are the drowned ghost in this lotus pond, but you are not an ordinary You are a water ghost, you have your own consciousness, you have taken a fancy to the skin of Miss City Lord's Mansion, so you lure people into the water in the middle of the night and snatch their body. Naturally, Miss City Lord who was squeezed out of her body is unwilling to disturb you day and night , you are now a mortal, and you can't bear to be disturbed, so you directed and acted a big show, trying to lead us to get rid of the so-called water ghost—that is, the wronged soul of the city lord's daughter. It really is a good idea!"

"My lord, let me hear you say that the first time Lingnu entered the water by herself was in January. She was lucky enough to survive, but she suffered a serious illness after being rescued. Perhaps at that time, the soul in that body had already been transferred. Think about it , Has Ling Nu's temperament and preferences changed since then?"

"Yes, yes!" The city lord nodded his head: "In the past, Yan'er was the most quiet and didn't like to go out, but since that illness, she has to go to the street from time to time, and also, she..."

"Okay." Wei Wuxian interrupted his babbling, he laughed and said sarcastically, "Why, this 'Miss Zhu' still refuses to admit it?"

"Zhu Yan"'s complexion was already pale, she forced a smile while pretending to be calm, but her hand holding the handle of the fan was trembling slightly.

"What evidence do you have?"

"I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you." Wei WuXian closed his smile, raised his eyebrows, and Chen Qing was already on his lips.

"Da da."

It was the sound of water drops falling on the marble floor, and a young girl appeared in front of everyone. Her black hair was wet, and water drops kept rolling down her pale face. A puddle quickly formed under her floating bare feet. water stains.

The girl floated in front of "Zhu Yan", on that beautiful face exactly like hers, a pair of peach blossom eyes stared at her with deep resentment.

"Yan'er?!" The city lord's heart throbbed when he saw this female ghost. He has always been a loving father and regarded his daughter as the jewel in his palm. At first, he only had some doubts about the person who occupied the magpie's nest, but now the real daughter As soon as he appeared, the blood-linked feelings made him recognize at a glance that she was his biological daughter!

"Zhu Yan"'s face began to distort, she screamed in pain and fell to the ground, her head full of pearls and emeralds fell to the ground, her well-combed sideburns were also loose, her skirt was in a mess, and the golden rose seemed to be ravaged by a violent storm. Fragmented and shimmering.

After a while, she stopped moving.

The foreign soul who occupied the magpie's nest was forcibly pulled out of her body. She floated in the air, her loose black hair fluttered around the ground with open teeth, and her face looked hideous and terrifying because of the thick hatred.

"Why? Why?" she cried unwillingly.

"Why?" Wei Wuxian put down his petition, looked up at her, his eyes were cold: "If you do something bad, you must have the consciousness to be eradicated."

"Bad things? Why did I do bad things?" Her eyes were red: "Why, why do some people get everything when they are born, beautiful appearance, rich family background, she didn't do anything, but she got other people Your respect, you can live a comfortable life!"

"And I... And what did I do wrong? Just because I came out of the belly of a servant, I can only accept myself as a lowly person and suffer all kinds of stares, and she!" She pointed at Zhu Yan, with blood and tears streaming from her eyes : "And she can get everything without doing anything!"

"Why is she? Even her father really loves her, and my father, for a few taels of silver, wants to sell me into a Goulan courtyard. At the bottom of this damp water, at that time, you people, why didn't you think of helping me?!"

"This world is so unfair!"

"It's unfair. There are men and women in the world, beautiful and ugly, rich and poor, but they," Wei Wuxian paused, "They never thought of killing people."

"Standing and talking won't hurt your back!" The woman snorted coldly.

"Then you stand up and become a young lady, do you have the heart to show compassion for those who used to be like you? Why, now that you have become the master, you will be able to order the maids with ease? The tea that your personal maid gave you is only a little hot, so you Getting angry and beating and scolding her, is there such a thing?" Wei Wuxian smiled sarcastically: "Or, as long as you get the benefits yourself, this is your fairness?"

"You!" The female ghost seemed to have been poked into a sore spot, with a look of anger and embarrassment on her face.

"Okay, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. If you are saved obediently, maybe you will be able to have a good pregnancy with Miss Master in your next life. But if you insist on going your own way, at worst, I will just let you die." Chen Qinghuang pointed at the female ghost. After a while, the boy's smooth eyes narrowed slightly, with a sword-like gleam: "You choose yourself. I only count to three, one, two..."

"I choose reincarnation!" The female ghost hurriedly shouted: "I choose reincarnation!"

Zhu Yan bowed gracefully to them.It's obviously the same face, but with a different soul inside, it has a completely different temperament.The real Zhu Yan is a gentle and quiet girl, her every move is very elegant and decent.

She bowed her head: "Thank you monks for your help."

Wei WuXian put his hands together and returned a salute: "There's no need to be too polite."

"Young Master Wei..." Zhu Yan suddenly asked, "Then... Nuan Xing, has she been reincarnated?"

Wei Wuxian nodded.

"That's good." She said softly, with complicated melancholy in her expression.She was too kind by nature, even if she resented Nuan Xing for taking her body away, but at this moment, after learning about her experience, this hatred disappeared, and instead, there was an unknown sense of guilt in her heart.

On the boat back, Xiaobai was absent-minded all the time.She was still immersed in the intense love-hate relationship just now.

In this world, birth almost determines everything about a person.No matter how good and motivated Jin Guangyao is, others will still call him "the son of a whore".The same goes for Wei Wuxian, she didn't know how many times she heard someone insult him as "son of a servant", as if this was a stain he couldn't wash off.

However, birth is not a choice.

She looked at the black-clothed boy surrounded by his juniors and juniors. With a warm smile, he answered their questions tirelessly—he was really suitable for the role of a teacher. Ever since Jiang Cheng returned to Lotus Pier, Jiang Cheng The task of taking the disciples out to practice was given to him, and this happened to be what he wanted, because he likes to play everywhere, like lively and new things.

She thought to herself, Ah Xian is so good, apart from his background, how can those people compare to him?You can only use your unchangeable origin to show your superiority.

She was still in a daze, but she didn't notice that the gazes of the surrounded teenagers fell on her from time to time.

Wei Wuxian felt a little lost in his heart, Xiaobai, and kept ignoring him.

"Ah Xian—Xiaobai—"

Jiang Yanli's voice came from the oncoming boat.

"Senior Sister!" Xiaobai stood up and waved to her happily.

Jiang Yanli's boat approached, and there were a few large lotus flowers on the prow. The petals were pink and tender, and each piece was clearly separated. The tips of the petals were bright red, but the bottom was white. , so beautiful that it is not like a mortal thing.

"It's a coincidence that I have nothing to do. I'll bring some younger brothers and sisters to pick some lotus flowers so that I can make lotus flower cakes, lotus flower porridge, and put them in the room as decorations. Are you getting rid of evil spirits?"

Xiaobai regained his energy: "It went well. Sister, let me tell you, Ah Xian is really amazing! He can actually see..."
