I have been farming since I crossed over.

A few people rushed to the coast of Kaoshan County at high speed. With determined steps, they followed the winding coastline, heading rapidly towards the mysterious Kaohai Mountain. The sun shone on the sparkling sea, and the sea breeze caressed their cheeks, bringing a hint of salty taste.

After walking for about a cup of tea, the narrow road ahead suddenly became wide and open. Everyone was surprised to find that the sea before them seemed to have suddenly narrowed, as if squeezed by an invisible force. Then, a wide river beach came into view, covered with fine sand and shells.

Yang Mingxi frowned slightly, staring at the scene in front of her, and said in confusion: "There is something wrong with this coastline! According to common sense, the sea surface should not just extend to here and then stop. Look at the surging waves, it clearly shows that there is a wider coastline. But look ahead, there is only such a small river beach? This is really weird!" After that, she turned to look at Lu Jintang beside her, expecting to get some answers from him.

Lu Jintang said nothing, simply gazing quietly at the strange coast before him, his deep eyes gleaming with thought. He observed every detail intently, not missing a single clue.

At this moment, Lu Dashan, who was at the forefront of the group, was shocked upon hearing Yang Mingxi's words. He secretly admired the future mistress's keen eye, who had so keenly detected the unusualness of this coastline. After all, upon arriving here, they had secretly set up an intricate formation to conceal the true direction of the coastline. Unexpectedly, no one had yet deciphered the secret, yet Yang Mingxi had spotted it.

After Lu Jintang pondered for a moment, his thoughts gradually cleared up, and he quickly grasped the underlying situation. Meanwhile, Lu Da, standing nearby, quickly cast his gaze toward the vast expanse of the sea, observing every nuance with rapt attention, not missing even the minute details Yang Mingxi had mentioned. He then gently patted his eldest brother's broad shoulder and pointed behind him with a pursed lip.

Lu Dashan seemed to understand and extended his strong thumbs-up, then shouted at the top of his voice, "That's right! Not far ahead is where we're staying this time. And here, we've put in some careful thought and some tricks!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mingxi's beautiful eyes lit up instantly, like twinkling stars in the night sky. She couldn't wait to quicken her pace, hurriedly catching up with Lu Dashan's swift strides. She asked in a tender voice, "Brother Lu, what kind of magical power did you unleash to be able to manipulate this vast ocean? You're truly amazing!" As soon as she finished speaking, her large, watery eyes filled with reverence. She stared at Lu Dashan without blinking, as if she wanted to imprint his entire being deeply within her gaze.

However, at this moment, Lu Dashan was only concerned with reaching his destination as quickly as possible, his steps never pausing. This made Yang Mingxi extremely anxious. She secretly wondered, could it be that Brother Lu felt that she was just a little girl and was unwilling to reveal these confidential matters to her? The thought of this made Yang Mingxi extremely anxious. She quickly reached out and tightly grasped Lu Dashan's strong and sturdy arm, saying anxiously, "Brother Lu, please! I'm really curious. Can you tell me a little bit? Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone else a word!"

Lu Dashan was startled, as if he had touched a red-hot iron block. He suddenly shook off Yang Mingxi's tightly grasping hands. He looked at Lu Jintang with horror and stammered, "This...this you should ask the young master, he knows everything!" Before he could finish his words, he ran away like a frightened rabbit, wishing to immediately put as much distance between him and Yang Mingxi as possible.

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi wasn't angry at all. Instead, she found it extremely amusing and giggled non-stop. She took light steps, grinning as she clung to Lu Dashan again, saying coquettishly, "Oh, Brother Lu, look at you. Are you really that scared of me? I'm just a weak woman, not some man-eating beast. Can I really swallow you whole?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Dashan froze in his tracks, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. Trembling, he turned back, furtively glancing at his younger brother, then feigned composure and replied, "No...no, it's just that this matter is too complicated. I'm not very good with words, and I can't explain it clearly. But you, the youngest master, are smart and eloquent, so I'll definitely be able to explain it to you clearly, right, youngest master?" As he spoke, he looked at Lu Jintang with an almost pleading look, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, as if he were standing under the scorching sun.

Lu Jintang couldn't help but find it a bit amusing to watch Lu Dashan's embarrassment. He smiled faintly and said soothingly, "Alright, Ah Xi, stop teasing Commander Lu. Look how anxious he's become. In my opinion, if I'm not mistaken, there must be a sophisticated formation set up here. And their destination must be not far ahead."

Lu Dashan nodded quickly and said, "Master Yao is right. Just past this beach is our destination." As Lu Dashan finished speaking, the group arrived at the back of the beach and saw a vast expanse of sea. There were some rafts on the water, with people fishing on them. In the distance, caves could be seen on the cliffs near the coast, where people were sparring and training.

Several people filed in. Upon seeing Lu Dashan, everyone greeted him with beaming smiles. However, it took a while before anyone noticed Lu Jintang following behind him. Instantly, as if under a spell, everyone stood up, bowed respectfully to Lu Jintang, and shouted in unison, "Young Master has arrived!" Lu Jintang nodded slightly in response, then followed Lu Dashan's steps into the pitch-black cave.

After entering the cave, they found it completely empty. Aside from the unusually spacious space, there was almost nothing inside. Lu Dashan introduced the place, saying, "This is where we usually rest. As for cooking, it's by the sea. How about I take you there now?"

Lu Jintang nodded slightly in agreement. Yang Mingxi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Rest here? Then where do you sleep at night? Don't you even need a quilt or something?" Facing Yang Mingxi's question, Lu Dashan remained silent. He just slowly raised his eyes and glanced at her calmly.

The group continued to move forward, and soon they arrived at the so-called dining room. They saw several large iron pots supported by stones placed there steadily, and in the pots were boiling huge sea fish one after another. Surprisingly, these sea fish did not seem to have been processed at all, and were just thrown into the pots to be stewed. Looking at the scene in front of him, Lu Jintang felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and his eyes gradually became moist. He said in a slightly choked voice: "Do you rely on eating this to fill your stomach every day? Such harsh living conditions, I am afraid that only people like you who have galloped on the battlefield and experienced hardships can endure it!"
