"Grandma tells you that Shui Zexi's blood can keep Ming'er healthy. If you want Ming'er to live a few more years, don't provoke Zexi's girl, let alone touch her!" Looking at Liu Shiyu who lowered her head and cried silently, the old lady still softened her heart. Her heart that wanted to punish her turned into a warning and reminder in the end.

"From now on, you don't have to worry about Zexi's yard."

"Yes." Even if she was helpless and unwilling, she could not resist her heart who wanted to be with Dugu Ming. Now that she had a way to prevent Dugu Ming from suffering, she was willing to give in.

The wife of the head of the family? What's wrong with letting her bear the reputation! But she still hated Shui Zexi for "robbing" Dugu Ming away, hated God's injustice to her. Those who clearly like Dugu Ming could not be with him legitimately, but a disliked eye would be hindered.

"Shui Zexi, I hate you! One day, I will find a way to prevent Brother Ming from suffering. At that time, I will definitely let you get out of the Dugu family!" Liu Shiyu swore in her heart.

"You've been tired for a day today. Go back and rest and ask Ming'er to come in." Liu Shiyu wiped away her tears.

"Grandma, do you have something to call me?" Dugu Ming stood straight. He saw Liu Shiyu's appearance just now, and he didn't know what his grandmother said to her.

"Ming'er, are you satisfied with this marriage?" The old lady asked, and naturally knew how he would answer.

"Grandma, this is the case, why ask again?" Didn't my red robe prove everything? I will have to marry whoever my grandma asked me to marry.

"It seems that you still don't realize how dangerous it is to be a high priest." The old lady stood up and stood in front of Dugu Ming. "The high priest wants to use his spiritual power to worship the gods, but it is impossible to hold on with only one person. Your father, your grandfather, and the ancestors above you have for generations. When they become high priests, how many people do they need to support themselves? You don't know."

The old lady said, as if she was trapped in memories, Dugu Ming only listened quietly.

"I believe you know the best way to lose spiritual power every sacrifice. Have you ever thought about what if one day you are on the altar because your spiritual power is not enough and your physical strength is not enough? In the past, many people were willing to sacrifice to gods and offer their own spiritual power, but later they gradually became less."

"Your dad is the best example." This is the sad thing of the old lady, a scar that she doesn't want to uncover.

"That day, your father gave all his spiritual power to worship the gods with his own strength. The spiritual power was released and he encountered assassination. He didn't even have the ability to protect himself and died on the altar! Your mother and I watched his father take his last breath. Do you know how much pain my heart hurt at that time?" The old lady patted her chest, turned her back, and tears rolled in her eyes.

"Your mother loves your father deeply, and immediately rushed to the altar, and the people around her couldn't hold it. A bullet passed through her chest, hugging your father's body when she was dying until she let out her last breath." The scene of that day seemed to be yesterday, and the heart-wrenching feeling is still fresh in memory.

"If that day, as long as he has a little spiritual power, as long as he has a little bit of it, he will be able to withstand other people's assassination!" How lucky it would be to meet someone he loved deeply in a voice.

"But your mother didn't help your father, she even took her own life."

"So, I will not let you have the spiritual power to be released like your father." Unless it is the day when you die naturally. "Your grandpa and I have made complete preparations to protect you!"

"When your grandfather was a high priest, his spiritual power was released too much, and there were people behind him who were willing to release spiritual power for him; in your father's generation, the number of people was greatly reduced. In addition, people with spiritual power were assassinated one after another, so no one dared to release spiritual power for the high priest anymore. Now that you are, the people from the Dugu family have already been in business, and no one is willing to provide you with spiritual power. If I don't think of some solutions, there will probably be no next high priest! The century-old priest family cannot be in my hands like this!" The old lady turned around and looked at Dugu Ming's eyes. These eyes looked very much like his father and his grandfather.

"You released a lot of spiritual power from the family sacrifice some time ago. When the doctor examined you later, you didn't have any doubts?" Of course, there was some doubts.

"That day in your room, Zexi's girl knelt on her forehead and bleeded. Her blood was scattered on the ground and broke the magic array under your grandfather. The breaking of the magic array was equivalent to the establishment of the blood contract. If it were the ones who had pure blood in the past could relieve your bone erosion, the current situation is that only Zexi's pure blood can have such an effect, or it can completely prevent you from that pain." All this seems to be unrelated, but it has established a thousand relationships in the dark.

"So that's the case. This is why he had to marry Shui Zexi." Dugu Ming didn't say anything, but just thought silently in his heart. "Shui Zexi can see the magic circles and talismans, and she can also see the spiritual power she released. All of this is something that ordinary people cannot. Grandma said before that there is a Luo family behind Shui Zexi, and she wants to use the help of the Luo family to protect the Dugu family. This layer of relationship is the reason why they must be together, just!" Dugu Ming didn't want to think like this anymore.

"Grandma, thank you for your hard work for me!"

"Don't think grandma is nagging. Grandma reminds you for the last time: treat her well, you don't like it, but you have to agree to her request! This is what I discussed with the Luo family." After saying that, the old lady sighed. These two children really made her worry.

"I'll go to the ancestral hall to bring incense sticks to my parents before going back to rest." Suddenly, I missed my parents very much. In the remaining memories, his father held him with one hand and his mother with the other, strolling on the trail of the mansion. At that time, he was immersed in happiness and could not have seen them again in a few months.

"Go and have a break early. Tomorrow is the day when Zexi returns to her parents' home." The old lady reminded.

...

In Shui Zexi's courtyard, there were already bodyguards guarding the door in just a few hours.

"Young Master Ming!" Seeing Dugu Ming, a group of bodyguards saluted respectfully.

"Is Shui Zexi inside?" asked knowingly where she could go if she wasn't there.

"Miss Zexi has been inside and has never been out." The bodyguard replied.

"What are they doing?" A group of people were busy carrying boxes into the yard, and Dugu Ming asked curiously.

"Oh, Miss Zexi said she was about to rest and couldn't find her pajamas, so she asked us to help her find a dowry, hoping to find a piece of clothing from it as a pajamas."

"Are you ready to rest?" What time is it? You go to bed so early! "Have you found your clothes?" Looking up at the direction of the bedroom, the light inside was still on.

"No."

"I'll go in and take a look."

Entering the yard, I walked a few steps to the gate of the small building. There were no servants in the small building, and all the decorations were the same as when I left in the evening. Only the "water stains" in the kitchen pool told him that Shui Zexi had used the kitchen.

In the room on the second floor, Shui Zexi was lying on the bed and closed her eyes to rest. She was so tired today!

"If you find the clothes, put them on the railing outside, thank you!" Shui Zexi closed her eyes and heard the sound of someone going upstairs. When she heard the footsteps of someone going upstairs, she mistakenly thought that it was the bodyguard who brought the clothes up.

"I have not gone to the ancestral hall to burn incense to my parents today, so I am ready to rest?" Dugu Ming leaned against the door, his voice coldly.

"Oh, there is also a ancestral hall that hasn't been there!" After a long time, I walked so many places in the morning but didn't go to the ancestral hall. Shui Zexi's mind was in chaos. When she thought about it carefully, she really didn't know what she had done. She only remembered that she fell...

Holding your head on the bed, put on your shoes and walked towards the door. "Let's go, I'll finish it early, I'll rest early." I really regretted that I didn't have a rest in the afternoon, so my eyes could hardly open. I yawned, stepped on my skirt, and slipped without any surprise. Shui Zexi, who had an unstable center of gravity, rushed forward and shouted: "Get out of here!"

She would rather fall to the ground than fall to Dugu Ming. However, every time she encounters such a thing, God always chooses not to hear it, or to go against her. This time, Shui Zexi pounced on Dugu Ming's arms, threw herself into Dugu Ming's arms, and his head hit Dugu Ming's chest heavily, and Dugu Ming's groaned.

Dugu Ming hugged Shui Zexi and looked down at the girl whose face was buried in his chest. He held her shoulders with both hands and supported her to stand. "You can't be careful? There is no veil now, can't you see the soles of your feet?" He was blaming him, but he squatted down to help her pull out her skirt and tidy it up.

"It's because this dress is too big!" Wearing a bad dress, it was not her fault!

"When you walk in the future, look at your feet and don't trip around." Dugu Ming stood up and took her hand and walked away. The temperature from his palm was cool, and the sweet fragrance emitted from his body enveloped Shui Zexi.

"Did someone say that the sweet fragrance on you smell good?" In the past, they were holding their wrists, but now they hold hands, and it feels strange. Shui Zexi looked at the people around her and wanted to find some topics.

"No, I've never heard anyone tell me that there is this fragrance." He knew that it had been a long time since he had this fragrance on his body, and he could hardly remember it.

"Oh, I really like this fragrance." The sweet fragrance is very attractive!

"kindness."

"Master Ming, Miss Zexi!" The bodyguard saluted respectfully when he saw the two of them.

"Let's go out for a walk, you all go and rest. Don't follow me, I will come back by myself." Shui Zexi answered first.

"Yes." The bodyguards nodded.

...

In the ancestral hall, the candles are brightly lit, and the smell emitted by the burning incense candles is a bit pungent.

"Mom and Dad, we're here to see you." The two of them stood in front of the tablet. Dugu Ming looked at the tablet, remembered grandma's words, and remembered when he was a child.

"My parents, I'm sorry to come to see you so late." Shui Zexi stood beside Dugu Ming, and their bright red wedding clothes were blushing against the candlelight. If their parents were still there, they would definitely be very happy today!

Nothing could express the hearts of the two people. Dugu Ming stood quietly, and Shui Zexi was also. After a long time, Shui Zexi said: "We will be fine, just like what we said in front of the two of us that day." On the day before the sacrifice, what she said in person came to her heart.

Burning incense, kneeling on the cushion together, kowtowing heavily.
