Rebirth of Jinxuan

With the deafening sound of gongs and drums and the crackling of firecrackers, the streets were packed with welcoming crowds.

The young prince Luo Li has entered the city!

Lu Yuhang, who was being carried on Zhang Yuxi's shoulders, had an excellent view and took in the whole lively scene.

He waved his little hands excitedly, his face flushed with excitement.

"Wow! So many people!"

Qian Feng then led Lu Jinxuan to the roof of a nearby teahouse, where the view was better and they could avoid the crowds.

Lu Jinxuan watched the bustling scene below with great interest; the imperial pomp and circumstance of ancient times was indeed extraordinary.

Suddenly, a commotion arose in the crowd. The magnificent carriage came to a stop, and a small figure peeked out.

The child was only five or six years old, dressed in fine clothes, with delicate features, but he looked timid, as if he was frightened by the lively scene.

He glanced at it once, then retreated back into the carriage.

Lu Yuhang recognized the child at a glance, "Luo Li! That's Luo Wu's son, Luo Li!"

Upon hearing the words "Luo family," Zhang Yuxi's face instantly darkened, her brows furrowed, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

“The Luo family… how could it be the Luo family…” he murmured, his tone tinged with unease.

"What's wrong?" Qian Feng noticed Zhang Yuxi's unusual behavior and asked in confusion.

Zhang Yuxi did not answer immediately, but put Lu Yuhang down and paced back and forth with a solemn expression.

“If they find out we…” He paused, not finishing his sentence, but the unspoken meaning in his words sent a chill down Qian Feng’s spine.

Their demon race has a special identity, and they are already acting in secrecy by borrowing a ship to go to sea. If the royal family finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

And now, this young prince is actually a member of the Luo family...

Zhang Yuxi suddenly stopped, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes.

"Qian Feng," he lowered his voice, his tone icy, "find an opportunity to get rid of this little prince!"

Qian Feng was startled and hesitated, saying, "This... I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? We must nip it in the bud and eliminate any future trouble!" Zhang Yuxi's tone was resolute and brooked no argument. "Do you want us all to be buried with you?"

Qian Feng fell silent, knowing that Zhang Yuxi's concerns were not unfounded.

If the Luo family were to discover their identities, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhang Yuxi patted Qian Feng on the shoulder, her tone softening.

"I know it's difficult to ask you to do this, but it's a serious matter, so this is the only way."

Qian Feng took a deep breath and nodded. "I understand."

“Wait a minute,” Zhang Yuxi suddenly thought of something, “Perhaps there’s an even better way…” A glint of light flashed in his eyes, “We could perhaps take the young prince hostage and use that to blackmail the Luo family…”

He turned to look at Lu Yuhang, his eyes flickering, "Yuhang, you..."

"Mother! Look, that little prince..." Lu Yuhang suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted excitedly.

Zhang Yuxi's thoughts were interrupted, and she looked in the direction Lu Yuhang was pointing with some impatience. She saw Lu Jinxuan standing on the roof of the teahouse, waving at them.

"Jinxuan? Why is she here?" Zhang Yuxi was slightly taken aback.

Lu Jinxuan leaped off the roof and landed gracefully in front of them, a mysterious smile on her face.

"Guess what gossip I just overheard?"

Lu Jinxuan leaned closer to Zhang Yuxi mysteriously and whispered, "I heard that this little prince, Luo Li, isn't Luo Wu's biological son!" Zhang Yuxi raised an eyebrow, looking incredulous. "Oh? What happened?" Lu Jinxuan smiled knowingly. "This is news from the palace. It's said that this little prince was born from an affair between the Empress and..." She paused deliberately, whetting Zhang Yuxi's appetite, "...and the former crown prince!"

Zhang Yuxi gasped. If this news was true, it would be a truly earth-shattering secret!

He glanced at Lu Yuhang, who was excitedly playing nearby, and secretly plotted to use this secret...

"Mother, I'm hungry!" Lu Yuhang interrupted Zhang Yuxi's thoughts at just the right moment.

Lu Jinxuan smiled and patted Lu Yuhang's head, "Mommy will get you something delicious!" As she spoke, she took out some snacks and fruits from Lu Yuhang's spatial ring.

"I'll go to the Hu residence first. You all go and have a look around." Lu Jinxuan handed the pills to Zhang Yuxi. "These are Madam Ding's beauty pills. Please take them to her for me."

After receiving the pills and watching Lu Jinxuan leave, Zhang Yuxi continued shopping with Lu Yuhang and Qian Feng.

Back at the alchemy hall, Zhang Yuxi sensed something was off. The usually bustling hall was unusually quiet today, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air.

He cautiously pushed open the door, only to see...

Qingfeng and Muwei sat facing each other, their expressions solemn, as if they were discussing something.

Both of them were startled when they heard the door open and looked up sharply at the doorway.

"Yuxi, you're back." Qingfeng forced a smile, but the panic in his eyes was impossible to hide.

Upon seeing Qingfeng, Lu Yuhang excitedly rushed over, exclaiming, "Master Qingfeng!"

Qingfeng scooped up Lu Yuhang and lifted him above his head, a genuine smile finally appearing on his face.

"Master Muwei, shall we go outside and practice?" Upon seeing this, Qian Feng immediately pulled Muwei outside, leaving them space to talk.

Qingfeng carried Lu Yuhang to the courtyard, pointed to the various medicinal herbs in the herb garden, and began to explain the knowledge of alchemy.

Lu Yuhang listened with great interest, occasionally asking questions, which Qingfeng patiently answered one by one.

In the courtyard, Qian Feng and Mu Wei were sparring, their swords flashing and their movements powerful.

Qingfeng held Lu Yuhang in his arms, explaining the medicinal herbs while watching the two practice martial arts, his eyes occasionally drifting towards the house...

Inside the room, Zhang Yuxi sat upright, while Ai Xi and Mo Chenfan stood beside her with serious expressions.

“The young prince of the Luo family has actually come here…” Zhang Yuxi spoke slowly, her tone carrying a hint of solemnity.

"Luo Li's arrival is suspicious; he just happened to enter the city at this time, so we must be on guard." Mo Chenfan stroked his chin, his tone grave.

Ai Xi crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? Just kill him..." She made a throat-slitting gesture, her eyes sharp.

Zhang Yuxi shook his head: "We must not act rashly. The Luo family is very powerful. If we alert them, it may ruin our plans." He paced back and forth, his brows furrowed. "We must come up with a foolproof plan that can ensure our safety and allow us to reach the capital empire smoothly."

The three remained silent for a moment, racking their brains for a solution.

Ai Xi suggested using illusion magic to confuse the young prince and make him forget that he had seen them; Mo Chenfan, on the other hand, believed that they should secretly monitor him to ensure that the young prince would not reveal their whereabouts.

After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Yuxi finally decided to adopt a two-pronged strategy: to both deceive the young prince and send people to secretly monitor him, just in case.

On the other side, Lu Jinxuan arrived at the gate of the Hu residence, but was stopped by the guards.

"Young lady, this is the private residence of the Hu family. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!" The servant said arrogantly, sizing up Lu Jinxuan.

Lu Jinxuan smiled slightly, a sly glint in her eyes. "I'm here to see Miss Hu Xinyue. Please inform her." "Miss Hu isn't someone you can just see! Leave immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite!" The servant waved impatiently, about to close the door.

Lu Jinxuan reacted quickly, blocking the gate and flashing past the servants to enter the Hu residence.

The Hu Mansion covers a vast area, with pavilions, towers, rockeries, and flowing water, and its layout is intricate and complex.

Lu Jinxuan wandered around the mansion but lost her way.

Just then, a maidservant passed by, and Lu Jinxuan quickly went up to ask her what was wrong.

"Little sister, may I ask where Miss Hu lives?" The maidservant glanced timidly at Lu Jinxuan and pointed ahead. "Miss Hu lives in Tingyu Pavilion. Just keep walking straight along this road and you'll get there." Lu Jinxuan thanked her and was about to follow the maidservant when she suddenly heard a child's heart-wrenching cries, accompanied by a man's harsh rebuke: "What are you crying for! If you cry again, I'll beat you to death!"

Lu Jinxuan felt a chill run down her spine, and a sense of chivalry welled up within her.

She didn't bother looking for Hu Xinyue; instead, she turned and walked towards the direction from which the crying was coming.

"Little sister, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go find it myself." She waved to the maid, her tone firm.

The maid nodded and turned to leave.

Following the sound of crying, Lu Jinxuan arrived at a secluded courtyard, where she saw...
