What if you were targeted by a cool and aloof beauty?

If that's the case, why do all sorts of colors mixed together turn into the same gray-black?

Recalling the final form of the clay, Jiuge looked at the pristine white wall.

If possible, no matter what she experiences in the future, she hopes that she can always remain pure and flawless white.

Six months have passed, and winter has arrived.

Perhaps because the association assigned Mr. Knight a mission to complete with the Jiuge family, Jiuge began to frequently see the knight talking with his relatives in the outer courtyard of his new home.

Every time the knight came to the vicinity of Jiuge's residence, he would bring her some gifts.

First, it was handed over to the housekeeper, who then selected and sorted it before handing it over to Jiuge.

The knights never brought the same thing twice; sometimes it was food, sometimes it was toys.

White Rabbit Milk Candy, Rooster Milk Candy, Corn Hard Candy, Devil Candy, Popping Candy, Whistle Candy, Ring Candy, Rock Candy, Gold Coin Chocolate, Mung Bean Cake...

Shuttlecocks, jump ropes, Tetris game machines, water ring toss game machines, bubble gum, electronic pets, dress-up stickers, Monopoly game boards, sticky hands, shatterballs, spinning tops...

For Jiuge during that period, the process of unwrapping gifts was the happiest.

Most of the toys the knight gave her were kept intact by Jiuge.

She didn't know how to play with them, nor did she have the spare time to play with those little gadgets.

The snacks the knight gave her were basically only allowed to be looked at by the butler, who forbade her to eat them.

Even so, Jiuge was already very satisfied.

Her Uncle Knight treated her very well, much better than her own father.

Occasionally, when the two meet face to face, the knight will chatter on and on about interesting things happening around him in front of Jiuge.

Describe what children around Jiuge's age are like, what they like to do, what they like to play, and what kind of entertainment they have.

Even if Jiuge remains expressionless and silent, the knight will not be angry.

During that time, whenever Jiuge saw Uncle Knight, she would always think of her former housekeeper sister.

If she had behaved and not gone out with her sister back then, perhaps the housekeeper wouldn't have been fired.

Even though she regretted it in her heart, Jiuge still longed for freedom.

Chapter 101 Disappearance

The year Jiuge entered junior high school, the knight suddenly disappeared.

The weekly gifts stopped coming, and no one would chatter on and on about a bunch of childlike tidbits in their spare time.

That figure, always clad in armor and prone to making "bang bang bang" sounds when moving, simply vanished into thin air.

No one mentioned it, no one cared, as if it had never happened.

Whether at home, on missions, or attending association meetings, Jiuge hadn't seen the knight for a long time.

She didn't ask anyone about it, nor did she show any disappointment.

Uncle Knight must be living his own life, just like the butler sister did at the beginning.

Jiuge didn't feel particularly sad.

This is a very ordinary and normal thing, she told herself in her heart.

It could be a curse, or it could be fate.

Just as Jiuge was "chosen" from birth, many things are unavoidable, and struggling is futile.

Thinking this, as Jiuge expressionlessly sealed all the gifts the knight had given her and put them into the innermost part of the warehouse, she suddenly became lost in thought.

Why did things turn out this way?

Why did she have no room to resist any decision made by her family?

When she returned to her room, Jiuge's eyes suddenly became very moist.

Tears, as big as beans, streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Huh?...This...This is so strange...Stop it..." she muttered to herself, trying to stop the inexplicable tears.

Jiuge hasn't cried in a very, very long time.

The last time she shed tears was two years ago, late at night, when she was holding the doll that the housekeeper had given her.

The next day, Jiuge used illusion magic to sneak out of the house.

She suddenly had a change of heart.

I am an independent individual, and I don't need to listen to adults completely.

After putting her newly purchased 3G phone into her backpack and packing her essentials, Jiuge called a car and headed to Jingcheng.

She handed the driver a thousand yuan without expression and asked him to drive around Jingcheng a few times. As long as it was within Jingcheng, he could drive anywhere until she told him to stop.

It took about three hours for Jiuge to find the location that had been used as a coordinate during the large conference two days prior, based on her memory.

"Little sister, there are a lot of bad people around. Be careful and don't get scammed." The driver couldn't help but remind her a few times after they arrived at their destination.

Good-looking children from wealthy families are the easiest targets, and since children of this age may not have much of a concept of money, they can easily become targets of scammers or human traffickers if they are not careful.

Despite receiving so much money, he still felt somewhat guilty.

Back then, an average person's monthly salary might only be a thousand or so yuan.

Even though Jiuge gave him the thousand yuan voluntarily, he still felt like he had tricked a child...

After getting off the bus, Jiuge found a corner, stuck the talisman on her head, and began chanting a spell.

There is still some residual spiritual energy near the coordinates; with a powerful talisman, it should be possible to barely enter the large meeting point.

At that time, Jiuge's skill learning was not perfect, and he could not use his spiritual power to directly travel to a hidden place at will.

The chanting lasted for almost a minute before an overwhelming feeling of dizziness finally overwhelmed me.

When she opened her eyes again, Jiuge was already standing on the path in front of the dark house in the forest.

She took a small breath and tiptoed into the house.

The place where Jiuge first met Uncle Knight was this dark room.

Based on her recollection of the knights' ramblings, it's highly likely that the other party originally lived in this place.

"Who?"

Upon seeing someone enter, the knight warily jumped down from the second floor.

As he landed, his armor made a familiar "thump thump thump" sound.

“I…I am Jiuge…”

Jiuge panicked for a few seconds but quickly calmed down.

She was pleasantly surprised; sure enough, the knight was still there.

They didn't disappear, nothing happened.

"?"

The knight remained silent, and because he was wearing a helmet, Jiuge could not see his expression.

"Uncle Knight, what did they do to you?" she asked cautiously, mustering her courage.

Jiuge was worried that Uncle Knight would be mistreated because of their excessive contact.

"Jiuge. The chosen young lady?"

The knight sized up Jiuge, paused for a long time before speaking, his voice sounding very unfamiliar.

"You don't remember me either?" Jiuge bit her lip and clenched her fists.

The housekeeper was an ordinary person, so her memories were erased, but what about the knight?

Why was his memory erased?

"I don't like to talk much. Please leave. This is not a place for children."

The knight pointed to the gate, and the gate opened.

His tone was icy, his voice devoid of any warmth compared to before.

Unfurling her fist and tossing her hair, Jiuge gave the knight one last defiant, cold look.

With a blank expression, she walked out the door.

That night, the light in Jiuge's room stayed on all night.

Clutching the doll, she couldn't sleep all night.

A few days later, Jiu Ge's parents unexpectedly came to Jiu Ge's residence.

Jiuge's mother was very beautiful. Jiuge and her mother looked very alike, with exquisitely sculpted features.

Jiuge's father was very dignified, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and possessed a unique and indescribable aura.

"Father, Mother." Jiuge came out of the room, somewhat dazed.

She had always hoped that her parents would come to see her.

Whether it was when I was a child or now.

"I heard you went to see the knight before," Jiuge's father said.

There was no concern, no greeting; the first thing he said was about Jiu Ge's secret trip out before.

His face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell whether he was angry or not.

"Ah."

So that's the reason.

As expected, it couldn't be hidden from the higher-ups in the family.

Jiuge did not bow her head.

He met his father's gaze with unwavering eyes, his back ramrod straight.

This was the first time she had ever faced her father with such an attitude.
