Chapter 317: Chapter 317 Punishment (4)_1

"Elder sister, I really only had one, I did not hide any secrets from you," Qian Xiabai said helplessly. "My master only gave me one, and I gave it to you."

"But what about after..." Ruanlin Family’s heart was full of concerns. Without the amulet, would her precious treasure encounter any trouble?

"Just remember what I told you, don’t let her near rivers, ditches, or any places with water, and she should be fine," Qian Xiabai continued earnestly. "As for other matters, I really cannot help you; I’m just a half-baked practitioner myself."

His limited abilities were barely enough to keep him fed; how could he presume to help someone transcend a calamity?

That little girl was born with a destiny of extreme wealth and nobility; such a fate meant that an ordinary life was not in the cards for her, and many disasters were predestined as well.

Ruanlin Family could only leave Qian Xiabai’s house in disappointment. By the time she got back to the Ruan Family, the dinner table had already been cleared, and the boys were still obediently standing there. Even the position of the meats hadn’t changed, the only difference being that Ruan Jiaojiao had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

"Disperse, go wash up and sleep," Ruanlin Family waved her hand and said somewhat impatiently.

The boys looked at each other to confirm that Ruanlin Family meant it before they dispersed., not daring to make noise, each cautiously went to their rooms to bathe.

Ruanlin Family entered the inner room.

Ruan Jiaojiao lay on the bed, sleeping soundly with steady breaths. Xiu Xi stood beside her, fanning her; when he saw Ruanlin Family come in, his movement did not stop.

Ruanlin Family lit the kerosene lamp and sat down beside it. She sighed, watching Xiu Xi continue to fan Ruan Jiaojiao without even glancing her way, and asked him, "Xiaoxi, do you also think what your mother did was wrong? Shouldn’t have hit Jiaojiao?"

Xiu Xi’s fanning hand hitched.

He turned his head to look at her.

After seeming to ponder for a moment, he finally answered, "No."

Ruanlin Family sighed again and said, "You all, you don’t know anything."

"I know!" Xiu Xi came out from under the mosquito net, stood in front of Ruanlin Family, his gaze earnest: "I do know."

The calamity on Ruan Jiaojiao’s body was the result of him defying fate and altering destiny.

If she couldn’t get through these tribulations, Ruan Jiaojiao would die.

He knew all of this.

Ruan Jiaojiao always said that he was stubborn, but in reality, it was her nature that was the most stubborn. She seemed tender and soft, but once she decided to do something, she wouldn’t change her mind, and she would do it quietly.

When she was still a cat, she was lazy and disliked moving; she would just eat and sleep every day, especially in the summer. She always suffered in the heat, thinning down each season. To make her more comfortable, he had dug that cave for her to escape the summer heat.

Back here, she was still the same, but recently she had started to become more proactive, almost daily following Ruan Chi and the others around, even tanning her skin.

Although she didn’t tell him the reason.

But he could guess that it was definitely related to the dreams she talked about.

She now valued the Ruan family deeply and would probably risk her life to protect them! Just like the last time she took disaster in place of Ruan Qun, she did it quietly on her own. The only consolation was that she still trusted him, allowing him to accompany her, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Only, it seemed she had never planned on telling the Ruan family any of this, and he didn’t know why... Is it because she didn’t trust them enough or because of something else?

Looking at Xiu Xi’s serious expression, Ruanlin Family bitterly smiled: "What do you know?"

Xiu Xi pursed his lips, looking at Ruan Jiaojiao’s sleeping form, then at Ruanlin Family, and after a struggle, he lowered his eyes.
