C32 (1/2)

In the beginning, they were just saying that the Feng Shui in Ruo Lan's house was not good, and that it was Rankff or something like that. Gradually, the rumors got more and more outrageous.

What do you mean, Roran is a lone star, formed by demons? Roran is destined to be alone for a lifetime or something like that.

These rumors made Ruo Lan think of the words that the old Daoist had said to her while he was touching his bones in the restaurant.

She originally thought that he was just a scammer, but now, she also had some doubts.

She remembered that the old Daoist had said, ”Your fate is firm and unyielding. Your mother won't live more than three years if you were born. If you marry, your husband won't be able to live longer and die without a doubt. Even if you are born childless, you will still be married for less than a year!”

Am I really as bad as he says I am?

However … How could this be possible …

It was true that she didn't want to marry those four people, so Guo Songyuan didn't need to be mentioned. But whether it was Chen Shaobai, Elementary Scholar Meng, or the rich man's son, she had never thought of living alone.

Being able to marry like a husband and his godson was the greatest dream of every woman in their life, and she was no exception.

However, her rumours spread more and more, and no one dared to come and propose marriage anymore …

What should I do from now on, will I really have to go up the mountain and become a nun?

Early that morning, Jun Wu Yi opened the door to the temple and saw Ruo Lan standing outside with her eyes red.

The rain in the morning was very heavy, and the sun had yet to rise. She had probably ascended the mountain very early, and her clothes were all somewhat drenched.

Jun Wu Yi's heart skipped a beat as he looked at her. He pulled her in and asked with concern: ”Lan'er, when did you arrive? What happened? ”

”Big brother Xiao Qi!”

Ruo Lan threw herself into his embrace. With a sniff of her nose, she almost cried out, ”What do we do? They all say that I'm a witch. They say that I'm born to be a bad girl. No one dares to marry me anymore. What do we do …”

The unique fragrance of the girl assaulted his nostrils.

Jun Wu You held her tightly and patted her back lightly. His thin lips were parted slightly, and his clear voice carried a hint of bewitching charm as it lightly entered Ruo Lan's ears:

”If no one marries you, how about I?”

Ruo Lan was startled and pushed him away. She looked at his clear and black eyes earnestly. Big Brother Xiao Qi, what did you say just now? ”

The phrase ”Big Brother Xiao Qi” turned Jun Wu Zhi's heart of love into smoke.

How could he have forgotten that he was acting the part of that scolding monk?

For some reason, he felt that this identity was a bit boring.

He lowered his eyebrows and calmly replied, ”It's fine. I just said that someone will marry you sooner or later. Don't worry.”

”Is that true? ”But just now, I clearly heard …” As she spoke, Ruo Lan's face turned red.

”What did you hear?” Jun Wu Yi's black eyes flashed with a sharp and threatening glint.

Since Xiao Qi gege said I misheard, then it's a mistake. How could he say something like that? He must have been hallucinating.

Ruo Lan smiled bitterly and lowered her head gloomily. ”It's nothing …” But, Brother Xiao Qi, do you really think there's anyone who would dare to marry me? ”There are rumors everywhere outside now, saying that I'm a 'husband', that my life is tough, that whoever marries me will die …”

Jun Wu Yi's smile quickly faded.

Indeed, those people aren't worthy of marrying you, so they must die.

But, who took the opportunity to discredit you?

Humph, he was too stubborn!

He could do anything, but he would never allow anyone else to harm Lan'er!

His black eyes darkened and a chilling light radiated from him.

After comforting Ruo Lan for a while and bringing her to the main hall to pray for Buddha, Ruo Lan's heart calmed down a lot.

When he saw her kneeling in front of the praying mat with her eyes closed and her sincere begging for Buddha, an unusual softness once again rose in Jun Wu Yi's heart …

If he could, he was willing to protect this girl's innocence. He was willing to have her be this happy and beautiful forever just for these small worries.

Never, never touch the cold and dark side of this world …

These things, he would be the one to make them.

When he sent Ruo Lan home, he turned around and asked his neighbors with a harmless face who the rumors about her came from.

With this investigation, they naturally found the source.

Who else could it be other than Master Guo, who had done all sorts of evil deeds for the rich and the heartless?

Ever since his son Guo Songyuan was killed by Ruo Lan, Master Guo had always wanted to avenge his son.

Previously, when he framed Ruo Lan as a witch, he was saved by her Buddhist magic. However, he didn't dare to confront Ruo Lan directly.

As such, the obvious had to come to the dark.

All along, he had been waiting for the right opportunity to make his move. After the deaths of the three unfortunate men, Old Master Guo's lively eyes turned and his small head moved, feeling that the time for revenge had come.

Therefore, he sent all the servants and maids in his residence to spread the rumours on the streets and alleys that were detrimental to Ruo Lan.

As for human nature, it was to keep good things to oneself and to do evil things for a thousand miles. Those village women were very interested in the matter of the four men who had brought them to marriage dying for no reason.

It didn't take long for the rumor to reach Ruo Lan's ears.

Heh heh, what a great Master Guo!

Jun Wu You quietly turned into a cloud of black smoke, hiding in Master Guo's mansion, secretly watching him.
