"Take it. I'll wait for you here."
Bai Zhou took the pill and placed it in Jiang Nannan's hand.
"Thank you!"
Jiang Nannan glanced at it and suddenly noticed that Bai Zhou's palm was incredibly smooth and tender, completely mismatched with their voice.
"Maybe they have a way to maintain their appearance..."
Jiang Nannan didn't suspect too much. Instead, she hurried to her mother's room with the pill.
Jiang Nannan also didn't believe that someone would harm a person who was seriously ill and about to die, so she unhesitatingly gave Bai Zhou's pill to her mother to take.
...
Bai Zhou waited quietly at the door.
A few minutes later, exclamations came from the room, followed by crying...
After a few more minutes, Jiang Nannan walked out with red eyes and immediately knelt down in front of Bai Zhou with a thud.
"Benefactor, thank you for saving my mother. I owe you a life. May I know your name?"
Jiang Nannan looked at Bai Zhou expectantly, wanting to know Bai Zhou's name.
"No need to be like this. I said I just couldn't stand the Xuan Ming Sect's actions. Of course, it can also be considered an investment in you, because I am very optimistic about you. We will meet again if fate allows~"
Bai Zhou smiled slightly, and then reminded, "Oh, you can refuse the Xuan Ming Sect's request, but your mother's matter should not be publicized, lest the Xuan Ming Sect gets involved in the investigation, which might affect you. The Xuan Ming Sect's Young Sect Master's coming-of-age ceremony is in 7 days. After the other party completes the coming-of-age ceremony, you and your mother will be safe."
"Thank you for the reminder."
Jiang Nannan bowed deeply to Bai Zhou. The moment she bowed down, she saw the shoes Bai Zhou was wearing, and her pupils suddenly contracted.
Because those were the exclusive shoes of Shrek Academy students, and looking at the style, they were brand new, which only new students could have...
Coupled with the white palms she had just seen.
"Could it be..."
"Impossible... Absolutely impossible..."
Jiang Nannan quickly shook her head, denying her guess. After all, how could someone so powerful be a new student?
Although she didn't believe it in her heart, Jiang Nannan had already begun to search for the appearances of the new students she had seen in her mind...
Although the other party was disguised, it was very rough, and their height would definitely not change.
Jiang Nannan instantly turned into "Sherlock Holmes" and began to collect clues.
However, the most urgent task was to get through this difficult time. She was really a little afraid that the Xuan Ming Sect would resort to violence against her, or that the Xuan Ming Sect would find out that her mother had recovered and use her mother to threaten her.
...
"Finally done. Jiang Nannan didn't suspect anything. It seems my disguise was very good~"
Bai Zhou tore off the black robe, feeling good about themself.
However, Bai Zhou was not in a hurry to go back, but waited to watch the show. They really weren't peeping, just purely curious about Xu Sanshi's evolution...
...
The next day.
The black-robed physician found Jiang Nannan. Jiang Nannan's acting skills were excellent, and she endured the grief and refused the request.
When the black-robed physician heard this, he was completely stunned. He never expected that Jiang Nannan, who was rumored to be very filial, would ignore her mother's life and death. This was outrageous!
"Damn, I miscalculated!"
The black-robed physician left with a dark face, cursing.
Soon, the Xuan Ming Sect began to mobilize, quickly finding a replacement...
However, Jiang Nannan was too perfect for the standard. The person in charge of this matter at the Xuan Ming Sect was a young man named Chen Wen, who was also Xu Sanshi's childhood friend.
Chen Wen personally brought people to find Jiang Nannan, offering huge benefits, trying to persuade Jiang Nannan to agree.
However, she was still refused.
Chen Wen left with a dark face.
The Xuan Ming Sect finally did not come to the door again. If the other party was an ordinary woman, they could still put a little pressure.
But Jiang Nannan was a student of Shrek Academy. They really didn't dare to do anything by force. Doing some scheming or playing on the edge was acceptable, but if they went too far, they could easily be annihilated if they were not careful.
...
The seventh day.
Xu Sanshi's coming-of-age ceremony.
"Second Young Master, the woman prepared for you is inside."
Chen Wen's flamboyant expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Second Young Master. According to the rules of our Xuan Ming Sect, direct male descendants of the sect, provided they have a Spirit, must undergo another special Awakening ceremony at the age of fifteen. And this Awakening will be very important to you. Once completed, your Spirit is likely to evolve. As long as it evolves into the Black Tortoise Shield, then you will be the first heir to the future family head."
"I know, I will be serious!"
Xu Sanshi was also a little nervous at the moment. After all, it was his first time, and he had only heard others talk about it before. He actually didn't understand this aspect at all.
What a pity, how good would it be if it were Nannan...
Xu Sanshi was still fantasizing in his mind. If the woman inside were replaced by Jiang Nannan, he would be willing even if he couldn't awaken.
"Click..."
Xu Sanshi sighed, opened the door, and closed it.
In the room, red candle flames flickered.
On the festive bed, an ordinary-looking girl lay on the bed with her eyes closed.
However, the other party was obviously unconscious.
Although it wasn't Jiang Nannan, when Xu Sanshi saw this scene, the instinct of Bloodline evolution made him gradually become excited.
The next moment, a terrifying Aura spread out. Xu Sanshi was enveloped in dark Xuan Ming divine force, like a demon, walking step by step towards the girl.
The girl seemed to sense something, slowly opened her eyes, and then saw a monster covered in black light...
"Ah—"
A scream came, and quickly stopped abruptly.
Immediately after...
...
...
A few minutes later.
Xu Sanshi walked out, looking bewildered.
"Young Master, how was it!!"
Chen Wen had been waiting at the door for a long time and quickly asked excitedly.
"I... I seem to have only awakened halfway..." Xu Sanshi released his Spirit.
Half black, pitch black, half green, green grassland.
"What, how is that possible! Could it be that there was something wrong with that girl!! Damn it, you stinky woman, how dare you lie to me!!"
Chen Wen was furious! This was a major event concerning the future of the Xuan Ming Sect, and he was actually deceived!! This was outrageous!
"No, it's... it's... I... went to the wrong door..." Xu Sanshi covered his face, completely collapsing on the spot.
Chen Wen: ...Young Master is awesome...
...
In the darkness, although Bai Zhou didn't use Soul-leaving to peep, they saw most of it through their powerful mental force.
"Awesome."
Bai Zhou also gave a two-word evaluation.
It was just hard on that girl. Bai Zhou had seen the girl's appearance, which was not even one-tenth as good as Jiang Nannan's, and she was just an ordinary person. She would basically be abandoned, not even having the qualification to be Xu Sanshi's concubine.
This was the sorrow of ordinary people.
Bai Zhou went to Jiang Nannan's house again to take a look, and seeing that there was no problem, they turned around and left.
...
After accompanying her mother for half a month, Jiang Nannan resolutely brought her mother to Shrek City.
Although the rent in Shrek City was very expensive, she had accumulated a little savings over the years. At worst, she would take out a loan.
She would rather work for Shrek for a lifetime than have something like this happen again today.
...
Xuan Ming Sect.
Xu Sanshi was severely scolded and then sent back to Shrek Academy.
Everything was as usual.
